between 10000, 100000 and 10000
100000 gold marks by the allied re-

exact figure will depend upon the So

considered.
In case Germany resists settlement,
the newspaper declares, it is accepted
by the allies that France will recall
two classes of recruits to the colors
and proceed to occupy the Ruhr

Farmers Urged to Form
Strong Organization in
Fight for New Laws

Washington, d. c., April a.
Farmers should build up an organiza-
ton capable of presenting facts to
congress on matters affecting agri-
culture, Secretary Wallace declared
before the conference of the Aneri-
can Farm Federation bureau.
He "deplored" the complaint that
appropriations for agriculture are in
the nature of subsidizing class,
since they are for the benefit Of the
farmers. Such appropriations are
actually more for the benefit OF the
consumers than OF the farmers, he
said.
Chairman McFadden of the house
banking and currency committee, an
nounced that examination of the fl
nancial support of farm organiza-
tions, begun in the last session, would
be continued.
The executive committees of the
National Milk Producers association
and of the National Grange met in
preparation ior the meeting tomor-
row of number of farm organiza-
tions which will endeavor to agres
