FIGHT IMPENDS
ON CROP CREDIT
Resolution to Aid Farmers
Expected to Draw Fire
From Industry.
NORRIS LEADS BATTLE
Ask Revival Of War Finance
Board to Ease Market
Conditions.
NORRIS LEADS BATTLE

A resolution offered, In the Senate
Monday by Senator George w.
Norris, OF Nebraska, chairman of
the joint committee Of Congress
which has been studying farm cred
its, probably will be called UP for
consideration today. The measure
will provoke O vigorous fight be-
tween Senator'S from agricultural
States and those from Industrial
sections.
The Norris resolution, after stat-
ing the plight of the producers of
corn, wheat, cotton and live stock.
would direct the Secretary Of the
Treasury to revive the activities Of
the War Finance Corporation toward
assisting in financing expectation OF
agricultural products to foreign
markets. It carries further pro-
vision directing the Federal Reserve
Board to permit member banks to
grant liberal extensions OF credits
to the farmers upon the security of
the agricultural products.
Compromise Asked.
The Norris resolution Is a COM
promise between extremists On the
farm credits issue and the views of
Senators who desire a measure that
would pass both Houses and not
incur a Presidential veto. 1t stops
short of a legislative direction OF
the Federal Reserve Board to extend
such credits as would enable the
farmers to hold staple crops for bet
ter markets.
Senator Norris in the preamble of
his resolution speaks of the "unprec-
edented and unparalleled distress"
n n
count of the inability of the farm
ers" to dispose of their products "at
prices that will pay the cost of pro-
duction." The resolution urges that
the people OF Europe are in dire
need Of the agricultural products
now in the hands of the farmers but
are unable to purchase them on ac-
count of existing financial condi-
tions.

ton after the temperance before

The pretty girl again.
(TO BE CONTINUED
HAS REGULAR TIME TO EAT
Vegetable Plant in South Pacific
Islands Demands Its Food and
Seems o Appreciate 1t.

"Tul-tul," as the natives call it, is
the most wonderful vegetable plant in
the world.
It grows on certain South Pacific
islands, and in appearance is like a
giant turnip, but bloOd-red in color.
To the white man it is a very tough
and tasteless vegetable. To the ma
tives, however, it is a main item of
their diet. They cook it and mix 1t
with their coconut and breadfruit. for
it is supposed to be very nourishlng.
They cultivate the plant in a rough
sort of fashion in large bitches or
swamps.
Its most peculiar feature is that it
has TO be fed, and for this purpose the
native children go over the island col
lecting all decayed vegetable matter.
This is soaked in plenty Of salt water,
and is then taken in armfulS to the
plants and put in the center of the leaf
stems or on the short. thick stem from
which the leaves spread out on every
side.
Slowly but surely the decayed mat
ter disappears, the leaves stiffen and
spread out erect-signs, apparently,
that the plant has dined heartily, for
it really is a case of feeding a plant.
There is no opening of the stem or the
leaves; the food is slowly and gradu-
ally absorbed in a silent and wonderful
manner.
