Intervention by the United States
In behalf of Germany to obtain a re-
duction in the indemnity levied upon
her by the allies will be proposed In
a resolution to be offered in the
Senate this week by Senator France.
DIsAGREEs WITH ALLIES.
Senator France announced his In
tention of introducing the resolution
today. Concurrently. he said. he VIII
submit a plan to- nx the German In
demnity at $4,000. 900, ,0O0. .OOO' to be
liquidated in part by the sale 10 the
United States of the German African
colonies and the German capies sei@oo
by the allies.
The action OF the allied commits
sioners in liking the repsrations ng.
ure at approximately $o6,ooo'ooo'oVo
evoked his severe criticism.
He characterized II as consistent
with the policy of the allies TO Keep
Germany PROSTATE and demoralized.'
He added:
Germany will never be able to
pay such a colossal sum. such
huge indemnity will place chattei
on every article Germany Will pro-
duce for years to come. and German
capital and German workmen cannot
be employed to produce articles
wholly for the enrichment OF other
peoples"
SENATOR'S NEW PLAN.
Describing the plan he is to pro-
pose for the adjustment OF the In
demnity question as well as the other
financial problems OF the world, the
Senator stated IL contains the follow
ing three main propositions:
Fix the German indemnity at $15,-
900, 900, or at 1000. 900, 900 a year for
twenty.eight years for the easy pay
ment of principal and accruing in
: terest.
2-Allow Germany credit OF
$4,000, 100000 against the indemnity
for the German colonies in Africa
and the German cables that were
taken over by the allies during the
war.
3-Authorize the purchase of the
colonies and cables by thS United States
for the same sum, the price to be ap-
piled to the debts the allies owe this
country.
Senator France said:
"This way the foreign debt Of
Germany ,will be materially reduced
and she will be placed in a position
where she can buy Immediately the
raw products necessary for the re-
habilitation of her industries, with
out which she can pay no indemnity
whatever.
CANCEL PART OF ALLIED DEBT.
'"Then the United States should en-
ter into negotiations with the allied
and associated powers, seeking to pur-
chase from them the German-African
colonies and cables.
"In return, these powers should re-
ceive credit for the debts owing to
the. United States to the amount Of
$4,000. 900, 900.
''The result of this transaction
would be a marvellous change in all
the financial relationships Of tho ma
tions. For debts of doubtful value the
United States would receive territory
of great value that Is in extent one
third Of the area of this country.
"The European nations would be so
greatly relieved by this credit that
they would at once be able to begin
the purchase Of materials they SO
greatly need"

SWIFT PRODUCE REVIEW

Continued declines have been noted
in the butter market during the week
but at the close the market has
firmed up with improved demand
from the retail trade.
Heavy volume of live poultry
reaching the market has resulted in
lower quotations on both live and
dressed poultry.
Poultry plants generally have suf-
ficient help to take care Of average
receipts, but any sudden large in
crease in volume would make it diff
ficult to handle. Even marketing is
therefore suggested.
Egg production is about normal fol-
this season of the year, but, because
Of inferior quality, only small pro-
portion Of the eggs will command TOP
prices. Better care and attention on
the farm and more frequent market
ing will result in higher prices being
paid to the producers.

FIELD-SELECTED SEED WILL

growing states as we'll as scores Of
farmers in every state have shown
by sctual tests that field-selected corn
given proper care after gathering
gives highly profitable increases in
yield over ordinary crib.selected seed,
according to E. ]. Kinney, crop spe.
cialist at the Kentucky Agricultural
Experiment Station. The increased
yields due to selected seed may vary
from year to year, being greatest
when the ordinary crop is late in ma
turing and subject to a hard freeze
before thoroughly dry. AS has been
pointed out, the termination of corn
containing a large percentage Of
moisture may be partially or even
wholly destroyed by hard freezing.
Even when the termination is appar.
emily good large percentage of the
plants may be weak and subject to
insect and disease attacks. Corn
gathered early from healthy, vigorous
stalks and stored so that it may dry
quickly gives seed that terminates
promptly and produces strong,
healthy plants, the specialist said.

Thompson, of Chicago, TO Congress.
man Martin B. Madden, of Illinois.
He is the third to reach home out of
10 birds from the farm, which were
liberated as part Of the Chicago
Pageant of Progress, July 80.
One Of these broke worlds record
by covering the 6l4h miles in %
hours elapsed time, which, in the
opinion Of Albert Jacobson, expert
in charge of homing pigeons, means
les sthan 16 hours actual flying. This
bird bore message from Mayor
Thompson to President Harding.
The speed with which he covered the
distance seemed to indicate that he
realized the Importance of his errand,
but when he arrived at the home loft
he was so overcome with modeSty
he slipped in without even ringing
the signal. Supt. Jacobson had been
making hourly visits to the loft and
found him there, and the record was
officially clicked at the homing pige-
on club. The shortest actual flying
time ever made before between the
two points was 25 hours.
The second bird, bearing a message
to Congressman Britton, arrived Aug
ust 7. Another, bearing a duplicate
message, reached Dry Fork, Va,
where it became exhausted and was
taken in by a farmer. What misad-
ventures befell the latest arrival in
his 18-day journey the attendants are
unable TO tell. 1t is supposed that
he became weak and was obliged to
stop and search for food and shelter.
That he was able TO resume his
flight and find his way is regarded at
Beltsville as a remarkable exhibition
of the homing instinct.

FARMERS ASK LOWER FREIGHT
RATES

The price which farmers receive
for their commodities is fixed not by
them, but at some point where the
surplus accumulates. The price Of
grain is determined in Liverpool and
the price of wool in Boston. The
farmer does not receive this price,
however; there is deducted from it
several commissions and the cost Of
shipping the grain from his local
station to the point where the price
il established. Therefore, any in
crease or decrease IN the cost Of
transportation is reflected directly
by an increase or decrease in the
amount of money which the farmer
receives for his products. In add.
ton to this, when freight rates are
high, the farmer always pays a toll
on the great amount Of manufactured
products which he brings to his farm
to consume or to use in the produc-
ton of crops. Thus the high freight
rates "cut both ways" with the farm.
err. 1t has caught him at a time
when the price of farm products are
back to pre-war level.
This was the gist Of the argument
advanced by President j. R. Howard
in opening the case Of the American
Farm Bureau Federation before the
Interstate Commerce Commission in
Washington on August Is. Mr.. How.
ard cited the large number Of farm
foreclosures reported in Illinois and
other agricultural states in the west
and predicted that unless conditions
change so percent Of the renters in
Illinois will not operate next year.
He maintained that the excessive rail-
road rates were largely responsible
for the dilemma in which agriculture
finds itself and stated that the pres.
ent cost of production and continue.
ton of high transportation rates
would cause the farmer to produce
fewer crops next year. Even with
conditions as they are at present in
many parts of the west, farms will
not be operated next year and still
larger acreage will be seeded to
grass.

ESTABLISHES BUREAU FOR
TRUCK OWNERS

Truck users are coming to realize
that tires have very important part
in successful truck operation, ant
that the tires are a separate prob.
lem from the truck itself.
As much money is wasted today
on wrong tires as on poor ones.
Some truck owners wonder why their
tire bills are so high while others
are moderate. The answer is to be
found in many cases in the fact that
the wrong type or the wrong size of
tires has been selected.
In the interest of greater economy,
the United States Tire Company has
established a Technical Service De-
partment, made up Of tire engineers,
which will give impartial, disinterest-
ed advice to everybody engaged in
truck operation. A full statement Of
any tire problem from any truck OPP
orator in the world will bring a de-
tailed reply from the Department CIV
ing the latest scientific information
on the points involved. Making
complete line CT tires, the company
need favor no type above another.
AS the largest rubber company in the
world has a large staff of chemical
and engineering experts which is
made available to the truck operator
thru the Technical Service Depart
ment.
