WANT TARIFFS
COVERING ALL
FARM PRODUCE
Protection Demanded BY
Farmers On ''From Pea.
nuts to Wool" List.

Indianapolis, Ind, Dec. 7.-(Unit-
ed Press. demands for protective
tariffs covering farm products from
peanuts to wool, were demanded by
delegates to the convention of the
American Farm Bureau Federation
in session here today.
President J. r. Howard declared
sentiment from all sections of the
country was solidifying behind a
tariff program, though in the past
the farmer has been regarded as
free trader"
Our tariff demands are not radi-
cal" Howard said. "All that we
want is equality in tariff legislation
as it pertains. to industrial anu ag-
ricultural products"
The proposed duty on foreign
peanuts is not intended to make the
bags at the ball parks smaller, but
merely to afford protection for
southern growers who turn much
Of their product into oil They are
now facing serious competition
from foreign imports OF vegetable
oil.
Delegates from Michigan anu CAL
ifornia, the largest bean producing
states, are clamoring for a duty on
Japanese beans, contending that
shipments from that country where
labor is comparatively cheap are
running the industry in this coun-
try. Canadian shipments of pota-
toes also are worrying American
farmers. Canadian farmers can
place potatoes on the Detroit mar
ket cheaper because of the freight
Ilstsss than -eao5a 5ahe. Americas ,proe
ducers in that city. Howard said.
Sheep producers are vigorously
opposing shipments duty free OF
wool from Australia and meats
from Argentina. claiming the sheep
industry in the United States is
endangered by this competition.

Days Program.

Geneva. Dec. by the Asso-
ciated Press. )-Plans for coopera-
tion on technical organizations OF
the League of Nations by represen-
tatives of Armenia and former Rus
sian states, though these states are
not admitted to full membership
in the league, we're discussed by
the assembly of the league here to-
day. This was the principal item
on the agenda. having been brought
into prominence by the decision
yesterday Of the committee on the
admission of the central states.
The assembly also continued the
work OF laying a working basis for
the league which would enable il
to function as efficiently as possi-
BILE, pending the time necessary to
get q clear Interpretation of var
ious matters and note the practi-
cal effects OF the intricate system
by which the assembly and coun-
Gil dovetail.
The most enthusiastic support
ers Of the league admit that there
are problems in the covenant which
seem, for the moment at least. be-
yond solution, since it is impossible
to tell how present arrangements
are going to work out. The gen
eral policy adopted seems to be to
let time work out a solution od
some Of the problems.
This decision was reached by the
committee on relations between the
assembly and the council last night
to apply this policy to the contest
ed point as to whether the word
exclusive should be eliminated
from the second of the four gen.
eral principles enunciated by the
committee as a working basis for
the league. This sentence reads
at present:
The assembly has no power to
modify decisions coming within the
exclusive competence of the coun-
cil.'
The committee decided to rec
ommend that the whole paragraph
be dropped from the report rather
than prolong a discussion which
might be fruit less.
Work in the typhus campaign
now going on in Poland and plans
looking to the welfare Of children
In Europe were also discussed to-
day.
Announcement was made today
that Honorio Pueyrredon. head oi
the Argentine delegation, which
has Withdrawn from the assembly
Of the League Of Nations. will leave
Geneva tonight. 1t was said a,
the Argentine headquarters this
morning that the rest OF the dele
CATION would depart tomorrow.

FARM BUREAU NEWS

THE year 1919 saw In cortin To-
calities, particularly parts OF tho
corn belt and other portions al the
central states, the most feyerIsh
speculation in land ever known.
For the first time tt seemed to be
realized that there Is shortage of
good land. Prices in q few states
are said to have gone up one humid
red dollars an acre on an average.
In Bear Lake County there have
been no radical changes.
Great Plumbers OF farms have
changed hands. some farmers giving
up work and moving into towns. and
others going to cheaper soils

prices. arc fairly TO be congratulated
on at last gaining their reward
But some OF the gains have been
made by spectators who added
nothing to resources.
II prices OF farm products, as the
result OF near bankruptcy in Europe.
should now take tumble, these new
values may prove to have been
mostly on paper. However many
authorities claim that land prices
will stay nearly where they are in
any case.
High prices for land make it more
difficult for the young man to get
start as a farmer. or for the farm
renter to become an owner. The
renter Is more likely TO exhaust his
soil, and less likely to make perma-
nent improvements. Also higher
prices for land must be paid for by
consumers OF food products. Thus
they tend to keep up the present
level of living costs, which already
are SO badly inflated. Bankers are
generally discouraging this specula-
ton, which for the time seems TO
have died down. feeling that 1t has
been too fast and furious to be
healthful.
