present status of the Investigation of the federal trade commission to report on the outlook for importation of for eign fertilizers, and to examine into the foreign exchange situation as It affects American trades.
 Charles $. Barrett, president of the National Farmers union, who presided as chairman of the conference, said that while it would be very pleasant to be able to sayy that "all is we'll with agriculture and that in the farmers mind there is no discontent. nothing left to be desired,' the facts were that 'the farmer is not content or saist- fied''
 Answers to the recent questionnaire sent out by the postoffice department he said, came nearer to revealing the truth about agriculture than anything that has received equal publicity in the city press.
 Farmers To Pool Efforts
 "The farmers, at least the organized farmers, from now on. will pool their has been forbidden ground" said Mir. Barrett. "They will employ trained research workers to investigate con- ditions affecting agriculture. With trained research, publicity and legal talent, farmers need no longer be i'm potent in dealing with the questions of marketing, distribution and finance"
 Practically the entire membership visited Secretary Meredith of the agriculture department. who has asked the counsel and cooperation of the national board.

 WILSON $ REPLY
President Completes Draft in Reply to Allied Note Will Not Be Forwarded, Until Tonight or Satur- day - Polk to Review Document

WASHINGTON, Feb. 19.-President Wilson today prepared and sent to the state department a reply to the entente premiers' note on the Adriatic ques- tion. He is understood to have re- stated the position of the American government with degree of finality.
 Although the president dictated his communication in less than two hours, it probably will not be put on the cables before tomorroy night or Saturday.
 Polk to Examine Draft
 The original draft, prepared by Mr. Wilson, was sent to Acting Sec retary Polk for his personal study as he was the head of the American mis- sion when the Adriatic settlement, Of December 9, was reached at Paris with the consent and approval of the presl- dent and it, therefore, thoroughly fla miliar with all the preliminary negotia- tions.
 After Mir. Polk has completed his examination of the document and it has been put in the usual diplomatic form it probably will be returned to the White House for final approval before it is dispatched to Ambassador Davis at London for presentation to the premiers.
 Holds to Former Position
 The president is understood to have adhered to the position taken in his note of February 10, in which he in- formed the allies that if they were to proceed to a settlement of the Adriatic question without the participation or the American government, situation might be created where the United States might have to consider whether it could become a party to the treaty of Versailles and the F'ranco-Ameri- can pact
 While conciliatory, the premiers' re- ply to this original note was argumen- tative. MT. Wilson, in his answer, is understood to have met the argument point by point and is believed to have again called attention to the principle of self lf-determination as enunciated in his If points and his other declara- tions during the war, which were ac- cepted by the central powers as the basis for peace.
 Expect Additional Notes
 Although it makes clear that the American government has not changed the position it took when the original Adriatic agreement was made at Paris, the presidents note is not regarded as the final chapter in the negotiations.
 The premiers, in their reply to the original communication, are said to have left the way open for agreement along the lines previously accepted by the United States. and with the re- ceipt of the American note it will be for them to decide whether the ultima tum previously sent to JugO-SlaVIa, the settlement to which the, United States did not subscribe, will stand.

 Root Principal Platforms
 The women were apparently satis- fled with the appointment of one of their number as one of the alternate delegates at large.
 The principal proposals put forward
 Decentralization of the presidents executive power, ratification of the peace treaty with some amendments, reform of the league of nations cove nant by a congress or nations at the call of a republican president imme- diately after March 4, 1921" limita7 ton of the right to strike, taxation re- visions and universal military train ing.

 The alternate delegates at large se 1ected include Mrs. Arthur L. Liver more of Yonkers and Charles W An derson. prominent negro political leader.
 Party leaders declared tonight that the convention would not instruct the delegation to support any particular political candidate
 Most striking of Mir. Roots pro posals were:
 Decentralization of the executive powers which have made the presi- dent more autocratic than any sovereign in the civilized world"
 Ratification of the peace treaty with senate amendments Tong before the presidential elections"
 Reform of the League of Nations covenant by a congress of nations at the call of a, republican president i'm mediately after March 1921,'' to -es- tablish the rule of public right rather than the rule ofmere expediency."
 Rigid governmental economy and the adoption of an executive budget.
 Would Limit Right To Strike
 Limitation of the right to strike at point where it conflicts with self preservation of the community; eS- tablishment of labor tribunal with power to enforce its mandates.
 Revision of the system of taxation which involves the tariff Americanization and the elimination of "a lot of bolsheviki or bolsheviki SympathiZerS from public office.
 Universal military training.

 Explaining to the delegates repre- senting more than 30 agricultural bod ies. the work of the federal trade com mission Mir Murdock, said it was the economic eye" of the government to ascertain the facts regarding these movements in order that the public might be protected. The work of the commission in the past has been "al- most elementary" said MT. Murdock, adding that the commission was about to embark on the study of ''other and graver problems,''e affecting the na- tion's business. Further than that he did not elaborate his statement, which aroused keen interest among the dele gates in view of recent investigations into meat packing, coal mining and other primary industries.

PRECOTT, Ariz., Feb. 19.- Two heavily armed bandits entered the bank at Camp Verde, 60 miles north east of here, at noon today, held up Cashier Butler, and escaped with ap- proximately S1,000.
 After completing the robbery, the bandits conducted Cashier Butler one mile out of town and there left him under threat of death if he summoned help.
 Butler later returned to Camp Verde, reported the holdup, and a woman, whose name has not been learned, rode several miles to the nearest telephone and notified the sheriff's office here.
 Posses were quickly formed from the surrounding district and are in search of the men. The bandits had sorrel horses and weer each about six feet tall.

 Loan

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1s.-Rec-
 lamation of unusued lands in the
 west and south through bond is-
 sues operating similar to the fed
 eral farm loan system, would be
 authorized by bill introduced to-
 day by Senator Fletcher, demo-
 crat, Florida. A similar measure
 will be offered in the house tomor-
 row by Representative Smith, re-
 publican, Idaho.
 Under the plan. $20,oO0,O 0,OcO
 worth of bonds would be sold the
 first year, $3o,ooo, GOO the second,
 $40 ,00O, 900 the third and $50, ,0O0,-
 GOO the fourth year, with a total
 not exceeding $35o, 100000.
 The measure represents the con- cert of action of the south and the west for a great national, rather than a sectional plan. The southern inter ests, including the governors of states and officials of the southern Commer- cial congress, met here last month and evolved a bill which the representa- tives of the west, under the chair of Governor Davis of Idaho. later approved. Former Governor Spry of Utah has remained in Washington in charge of the legislative program of the west.
 The Southern Commercial congress estimated that the program, if adopted, would make feasible the reclamation of 5,000.O00 to 7.000,000 acres of land by the end of the tenth year.
