during the fall. He had learned from
the county agent how to kill the
weevils. The only expense he went
to, although his corn brought so much
better price, was for sacks and the
weevil exterminator. He said the
shucks were worth all that for rough
age for his cows. This gave him S1OO
more for 200 bushels of corn than
his neighbor who sold the same day.

France to Take Away
Swiss Free Trade Zones
Privileges in Territory Near
Geneva To Be Wiped Out
Under Proposed Bill

PARIS, March 20 (By The Associated
press).-The French government has
notified Switzerland that it must insist
upon suppression of the free economic
zones set up by the Treaty OF 1919, as
we'll as the neutral military zone pro-
vided for in the Treaty Of Vienna. 1t
ia understood the Swiss government IS
willing to consent to abolition OF the
military neutral zone, as stipulated IN
the Treaty of Versailles, but will re-
sist abrogation of the privilege OF deal
ing. free from customs duties, IN the
two small strips of French territory
north and south of Geneva.
Discussion Of the matter has reached
an acute stage and bill is about to be
introduced in the Chamber Of Deputies
extending the French customs line to
Frances political frontier.
BERNE. Switzerland, March 29.--The
Swiss newspapers comment in severe
terms on the proposal of the French
Government to suppress the free eco
nomic zones on French territory
around Geneva. They hold that the
treaty providing for the zones remains
in full effect and contend that aooi-
ton Of the zones would constitute
violation of the Treaty of Versailles.

His Friendship for Whitman
In 1868 he went to Washington with
the intention of entering the army,
but changed his mind and instead
sought civil employment at the hands
of the government. 1t is said that he
presented as his only credentials some
verses which he had written. How
ever that may have been. he was ap
pointed watchman in the Treasury
Building. then a clerk. then a national
bank examiner and chief of the organ
Ization division in the banking bu-
reau. While there he made the ac-
quaintance of Walt Whitman. an Incl
dent which had profound influence
over all his after life. He once gave
,vivacious account of their first meet
Ing and Of Whitman's appearance:
my merchant friend walked up to
Walt on Pennsylvania Avenue in Wash
lngton and said that country boy in
whom he was interested wanted to
meet him. Late one afternoon Walt
came to the store of my friend, where
! was waiting. l knew him at once

bacco, and has been quoted as saying
that he would favor a law prohibiting
not only its manufacture but even the
cultivation of the plant. To the end Of
his life he took as keen an interest in
current affairs the world over as
though he had dwelt in the heart of
Manhattan instead of in secluded syl-
van hermitage.

Walt would roll off the back platform

his tardiness. After breakfast she

In 1872 Mr.. Burroughs left Washil- 3
ton and became receiver Of q bank at
Middleton, N. Y. The next year he
purchased farm of dozen acres on
the western shore of the Hudson River,
opposite Hyde Park, in place now
known as West Park. Here he built
pleasant house and planted vineyard,
New-York tribune., 1921-03-30

calling the place Riverby. There was
hts family home ever afterward, and
the name has long been known in the
market on crates of grapes of excep-
tionai quality. But the river shore in
a few years became too much popu-
lated and too fashionable to agrc with
his passion for nature In her primitive
aspects. Accordingly he went couple
Of miles back from the river, to
secluded spot in the unbroken woods,
and there built log cabin, which he
aptly named Slabsides. and which
thereafter was his favorite retreat
though he maintained his Riverby home
for Mrs. Burroughs and the children
He had married Miss Ursula North in
1870 He was not an extensive trav-
eler. though he made some tours
abroad. and in 1911 he made. in COM
pany with the veteran John Muir, a
notable trip among the canyons and
, mountain ranges of the Far West.
Mr. Burroughs was to have addressed
the American Academy of Arts and Let
ters in this city March 20, 1917, tho
event having been nrraaged in honor of
his approaching eightietA birthday In
stead he gathered sap and chopped
wood. Mrs. Burroughs had died three
weeks previously, and he could not
bring himself to participate, even as q
! loved and honored guest, in the meet
ing. The paper he had prepared was
read by Augustus Thomas.
The greatest HOBO of his last years
John Burroughs lived to realize-the
stamping out of Prussian militarism.
Despite his never-hagging literary COM

/ sophical problems, his thoughts
through out the four years of the World
War never we've long absent from
that conflict, and he was all through it
a frequent and most vigorous contrib

letters calculated to arouse American
patriotism and to cause true realization
of the atrocious character of the Hun

At eighty-two years of age and more,
in November, 1919, he travelled to Gar
