LEAGUE PLAN

Lansing Tells Foreign Rela-

Was Never Presented

Washington, Aug. 6. - Secretary
Lansing told the Senate Foreign Re-
lationS Committee to-day that the
American plan for a League of Ma
tions was mot pressed" at Versailles
and never was presented to the full
Peace Conference.
The Secretary, appearing at a pub
lie hearing of the committee said,
he did not know whether Il copy
of the American draft was still in
existence. He presumed, he said
that the draft was made by Presi-
dent Wilson and added that a copy
might still be in the Presidents
possession.
Discussing the Shantung provision
of the treaty, Secretary Lansing said
the Lansing-Ishii agreement made
to obtain reatfirmation by Japan of
the open door policy in China was
entered into by the American Gov
ernment without knowledge of the
secret treaty between Japan and the
Allies for a transfer of German con-
cessions in Shantung to Japan.
Mr.. Lansing said it was true that
President Wilson had cabled to the
peace commission. requesting that
the confidential minutes of the pro-
ceedings of the commission of the
League of Nations be not furnished

Many to Witness Big
Tractor Demonstration

Late reports from the committee
in charge of the big tractor demon
stration to be held on the Bonny-

Wednesday indicate that it will sur
pass anything of the kind ever at
tempted before in the State. Final
entries, just coming in, show there
will probably be more than twenty
five tractors on exhibition.
The committee reports two new
features of especial interest to mar
ket gardeners and others. There are
garden tractors suitable for all sorts
of garden work from plowing with
single bottom on through all other
garden operations. The other fea-
ture will be dynamiting demonstra-
tions in which hedges will be re-
moved, bitches dug and stumps
blown out. Dynamite is pretty

the committee reports and here is
chance to see the experts use it.

ADVANTAGES OF FARM MULE
Will Take Better Care Of Himself
Than Horse-Also Less Subject
to Digestive Disorders.

The mule has certain decided adj
vantages as a work animal. For the
man who does not know how or Is I'M
willing to give his horses q reason
able amount of care, the mule Is the
better animal, because he will take
better care of himself than win the
horse.
The mule is naturally more able to
stand hot weather than Is the horse.
He will slow down when the work be-
comes hard an6 the weather hot,
whereas a horse win begin to fret,
and thus will be even more likely to
become overheated. Hence, q mule Is
safer in the hands Of a careless or In
competent driver. Fl
The mule requires less grain and
will readily consume more rouehage
than viii q workhorse doing the same
amount Of work. The mule 70 less
subject to digestive disorders.
Another important consideration 10
that a mule does not depreclate In
value 90 much from age and hard
usage az does q horse.

During the winter beef steers should
be kept IN a dry lot and provided with
q windbreak from the north or given
free access to an open shed. In some
sections Of the South weather condi-
tons alone may not Justify open sheds,
but when the saving Of feed and ma
nure and the protection OF pastures
from tramping in wet weather are con-
sidered such sheds will prove to be
profitable investments. Breeding ami
mails may require even more protection
during severe weather than an open
shed would provide.

WHAT IS BARNES PLAN7
World Shortage Promises More Than
1926 Unless Government Grain Cor
poration Serves the Interests
Rather Than the Producers.

CHICAGO. - Everyone practically
expects wheat to go beyond the mini
mum price guaranteed during the next
year If the government doesn't inter
fere. Those on the inside expect the
government to interfere, however, not
that there is any just reason for de.
priving the farmer alone OF his legitl-
mate market price but because very
powerful interests desire It.
The machinery for turning the trick
against hundreds Of thousands OF
wheat raisers is at hand-the govern
'nent grain corporation. The powers
granted this corporation are such that
by using its purchasing and regulating
power It can set the price Of wheat.
Congress gave these powers with the
apparent purpose at least Of fulfilling
it's guarantee Of a minimum. It now
appears that they will be used to
keep wheat down artificialN and con-
trary to all our traditions Of what 10
fair and just in business.
Repetition Of 1918.
In 1913 the grain corporation did
the same thing. A minimum was set
to protect the producers Of wheat
against great loss and to encourage
them to plant. The grain corpora
ton, however, held wheat down to
this minimum until the farmers had
disposed of their stocks and then al.
lowed it to go as high as $2.95.
During that year wheat naturally
would have gone soon to between So
and $3.50 a bushel and this price would
have given most farmers a little over
cost of production. AS it was, the
grain corporation continued the ruin
GUS price set in September, 1917,
which at the time it was. set was be-
low cost Of production for over half
the wheat raisers.
Much secrecy is being maintained
In regard to the plans Of the grain
corporation. The strategy Is evident
ly to hold back any positive state
ment until the time for action is at
hand to avoid criticism which cannot
be answered. When a beginning has
been made toward paying the farm
ers the unfair minimum price, the cor
poration will have a reason for con-
tinuing it. In the meantime the coun-
try is being bombarded with stories
of u great wheat crop, of world sur
plus, of regulations to hold down mil,
lers and spectators, all designed to
throw dust in the farmers ayes.
A Surprising Question.
The nearest julius Barnes, head of
the corporation and millionaire grain
Spectator of Duluth, has come to
showing his hand, was his reply to a
letter from the National Grange, in
which he asked: What interest have
the producers of wheat in my work
since they will get the 1926 price
guaranteed them by law" Farmers
who know of it have not yet recovered
from their surprise that a supposedly
intelligent man could ask such a ques-
ton. -

. Few persons who have been boost

ton.
The Bottineau courant. (Bottineau, Bottineau County, N.D.) 1895-1929, 1919-07-24

The factors pushing Barnes into
holding wheat to the minimum are
easily distinguished. The milling
combine has pushed -four and mill
products up beyond the level warrant
ed by the $2.95 wheat this spring.
They feel sure that II wheat Is kept
to $2.26 they can hold on to this high
level for their products and so reap
enormous profits. Grain spectators
who would like shifting wheat prices
are not kicking much because their
business has become adjusted to
speculation in other grains.
Wage camoufiaoe.
The other factor has come out In
recent steel price hearings. The big
employers wish to meet the workers
demands for higher wages to. overtake
the cost of living with the argument
that the wheat price has not changed.
It is to be merely q stage argument,
for flour will soar under the stimulus
of the ~profteering craxe. Again, IL
wheat were to go to So q bushel and
the millers were held down to the war
regulations, the increase would make
. difference of only $35 q year to the
average workman's family. To keep
wheat low, therefore, ct the expense
Of the farmers would In no way solve
the workers cost Of living problem.
In the near future we shall know
whether another monstrous piece Of
Injustice Is to be inflicted on our long
suffering farmers. It would look now
as if the stage was entirely set, for
the steal.

At its annual convention the Wash
fngton state federation Of labor de-
cided to join with the farmers In in
dependent political action. The rail
way unions have also decided to join
these two great forces, making what
is now known as the triple alliance.
The alliance aims to prepare to seize
every Office at the next election.
