FEARS A HEAVY DROP
IN PRODUCTS OF FARM
High Cost and Labor Shrotage
May Cut Down Planting.
Washington Warns.

Washington. Feb. 25.--Warning that
serious risk of reduced food production
impends because OF high wages demanded
by farm laborers, high cost of equipment
and supplies, and pronounced movements
of people from the farms to the cities,
was given bv the department of agricul-
ture today on the basis of reports and
letters from all sections of the country
The most definite of these reports
come from New York State, the depart
ment said. During the last year the
people on 3,775 representative farms de-
creased nearly per cent and the hired
men decreased more than II per cent.
If the same ratio holds for all farms in the
State, about 5000 men and boys left
farming TO 90 into other industries, while
only about II 900 have changed from
other industries to farming.
Another New York report, appli-
cable in some degree in every part of the
country, Is that farm wages this year
will average ii per cent higher than they
were in 1919, although in 1919 they were
50 per cent higher than they were at the
beginning of the war. Estimates indicate
that farm. help, hired by the mounth,
will be paid this year about S52 a month
and board, as compared with $3.50
last year" Experienced married men,
not boarded, but provided with house
and farm products, will get about $3.50
q month, against 500 last year.
Letters TO the department indicate q
disposition to cut down planting.

CITY'S OLDEST FATHER.
Ezra Comfort, Who Wed at 81
Bride of 20, Had Two Chill
drcn.

The story in Every Evening Of Friday
last to the effect that John Dennis Lewis,
OF Philadelphia, who on that day cele-
brated his 10th birthday, was born when
his father, Revolutionary War veteran
had attained the venerable age OF 80,
and his new bride, 10, recalls that Ezra
Comfort, of this city, was married at 81
and two children were born unto him and
hls wife of abont ~ before he passed away.
E,rn Comfort, our informant recalls,
was milkman Of about 40 years or more
ago and, despite his years was active in
business long after he had reached foux
score years. He served milk for many
years and despite the laborio,Is work and
the fact that he was exposedbn all kinds Of
weather he was almost always strong and
lusty
But the oldest parent palm is clearly
won by John She'll Of Kentucky, who is
13I years old and has a son aged five years.
Shell, who is still active, remembers the
death of Washington, in 1850. He un-
doubtedly Ia both the oldest father as
well ms the oldest man in the United States.

NEW PLAN FOR THE
PURCHASE OF FLOUR
To be Resumed by u. S. Grain
Corporation After Suspension
of Two Months.

The United States Grain Corporation
announces that, commencing Tuesday.
March >. il will receive offers of flour
under its regular flour offer plan, with GER
tain notifications covered IN the bulletin
TO interested dealers and millerS.
In rs,sumng buying in this manner after
a suspension of general purchases for two
months, Julius II. Barnes, United States
wheat director, stated that although there
arc large stocks of -four in the Atlantic
ports today still waiting sale and ship
menf. the Wheat Guarantee act. passed by
Congress specifies "A preference IN the eN-
port Of wheat -four, rather than wheat
Within the past few days the wheat
price, in certain markets and for certain
grades, has fallen to the guarantee basis
again. said Mir Barnes. Consequently
purchasing by the Grain Corporation in
protection of the guarantee, has recon-
mended on a small scale Therefore, if the
-four market falls TO the fair reflection of
the guarantee price of wheat, the Grain
Corporation must, IN some manner, take
care Of the purchases of flour in fulhlment
Of the government wheat guarantee.

LODGE WILL FORCE
SENATE ACTION ON
TREATY OF PEACE
Will Call it Up Tomorrow and
Give it the Right of
Way.
EARLY VOTE PREDICTED

Washington, Feb 25.--Final dis
position oil the Peace Treaty by tn, Senate
rs now expected within reasonably
brief time rs a result of two developments
Yesterday
The first of these was the announce
ment in the Senate by Senator Lodge
that he would call up the treaty Thurs
day and insist that it be kept before the
Senate to the exclusion of other business
until il WAS disposed Of
The other development was decision
by Senator Hitchcock not 10 call a con-
ference of Democratic Senators for the
purpose of deciding the party's co1YSe
with respect to reservations.
IL will not take long. Senators said, to
dispose of the treaty under these cir
cumstances. Some Senators predicted that
with week or ten DAYS the final vote
would be taken.
Mr.. Lodge : announcement was made
soon after the Senate met. He explained
that the treaty would not be taken llp
yesterday because he had thought that
Senator Hitchcock, who was absent from
the city yesterday, would not return SO
soon.

of the treaty until some disposition is
ruaia of II y

of the treaty until some disposition is
made OF it.
Some Senators thought that Mr. Lodge
intended To keep the Senate in constant
session until the treaty was acted on.
He explained to them that he had no such
plan, but would insist that the treaty be
not laid aside from day 10 day. 1t must
have the right of way, he said, until the
Senate ratifes or respects it,
Mr.. Lodges decision thus to force the
issue was pleasing to a large number of
his Republican colleagues who have been
chatting over the delay.
The announcement also seemed TO
fortify those Democrats who wanted MIR.
Hitchcock to call an informal conference
of the Democratic Senators. to discuss
whether they should stand pat on reser-
vations or yield to the Republicans and
take the Lodge program, including the
reservations on Article X and the Monroe
Doctrine. MIR. Hitchcock said that he
could not see the necessity for such n
conference. Hr said nc would call it if a
request for il came from any considerable
number of Democrats.
Late in the day, after he had discussed
the matter with other Senators, Mr.
Hitchcock said that he had virtually
decided against the conference plan. His
position is that n conference that would
not he binding upon those attending it
would be OF no value IL might, on the
other hand, intensity differences among
Democrats After the conference Demo-
crats would vote on the reservations just
as they would vote without a conference
The Senator said that he had no word
from the White House. He added that
he did not expect any
Those Democratic Senators who wanted
the conference will now seek by other
means To learn how many Democratic
votes can be mustered for the Lodge
program as il stands But so far as the
party organization goes, its position is TO
remain as it was last November, when it
formally and officially accepted the Hitch
cock reservations, the same which the
President said he accepted rs they stood.
