WILL CO UP
NEXT SUMMER AS
FARMERS STRIKE
INDICATIONS OF DECREASE IN
ACREAGE is ALREADY BE-
ING SHOWN
PRODUCERS ARE
LOSING MONEY
High Price of Everything That Goes
Into Crop Deters Farmers
From Planting

Washington Jan. 6-Farmers are
determined to produced less for mar
ket and more for themselves, DR..
III. c. Taylor, head of the bureau of
farm management of the agricultur-
al department said here today.
"There will be a decided drop in
the amount of produce offered next
summer and fall" said Taylor "un-
less big cuts are made before spring
in fertilizer, machinery and other
"things the farmer must buy"
Smaller crops next summer and
fall will mean rising prices for foods
according to government economists.
Low prices paid for farm products
this summer and fall have discourag-
ed farmers and many of them have
lost money, according to agricultur-
al department reports.
Farmers already have begun to re-
tal:ate, the records show. Winter
wheat has just been planted. The
acreage is 2.8 per cent below that OF
the previous crop. The previous
crop was light one so that the 1920
winter wheat acreage is far below
normal. The rye -acreage just
planted showed a decrease of II per
cent for the entire country as COM
pared with the previous crop. In
North Dakota, the rye acreage was
reduced 35 per cent.
Agricultural department officials
believe that farmers yet can be en-
.couraged to plant bumper acreage
for the 1921 harvest provided their
operating costs can be cut before
planting time next spring.
"The farmers are willing to take
Their losses provided other business
men take theirs now" said DR.. Tay-
lor. Manufacturers of all farm
supplies must make big slashes be-
fore spring. If that occurs the
farmers will go along as usual. If
the price reductions do not come in
the things the farmer has to buy the
farmer will carry his readjustment
into 1922 and 1928. That means
the harvests will grow smaller each
year"

MRS. MOTT PLACES
BLAME FOR DEATH
HUSBAND ON WADE
(By United Press.)

Bridgeport, Conn.,, Jan. 6-The
state today practically completed
presentation of its case in the trial
of Elwood B. Wade, charged with
the murder of George Mott, who was
killed in his home in the presence
of his wife and two children August
20.
Homer S. Cummings states attor-
ney, fired the prosecutions big gun
when he placed the widow Mrs. Eth
ell Hutchinson Mott, on the stand. She
testified less than an hour and sew
eral times was on the verge of col
laps'hg but in that time she placed
the entire responsibility for the muir
der upon Wade, her acknowledged
lover. She refuted a written con-
fession by Wade, in which he de-
clared Mrs. Mott killed her husband
TN self defense, and even asserted
lIldI uuIllIS ClIS hS SuIllS IliS ANNSS
home she was injured while trying
to separate Wade and Mott.
John Edward Johnston a pal Of
Wade, and jointly charged with the
latter and Mrs. Mott, followed her
on the stand and while declaring that
Wade killed Mott testified that the
widow helped to plan the crime, and
acquiesced in it's execution.
There was some speculation today
as to whether Cummings would call
upon the Mott children, Ruth 19 and
George Jr., IL to testify for the
state. Under orders either of Wade
or their mother-each of the latter
accuses the other on this point
they played jazz music on mechaa-
ical piano to dron the noise of the
fight between Wade and their father
and the latter's cries. The children
would be expected to clear up this
incident.

Washington, Jan. 6-SenatOr
Boise Penrose, of Pennsylvania
chairman of the Senate finance
committee, today abandoned his
opposition to the Fordney emer-
gency tariff biH and announced
that he will support and push 1t
to final passage at the present
session of congress.
Senator Penrose's announcement
changes the aspect Of the tarif sit
uation. His cooperation with the
Democrats who oppose the tariff
measure, was counted on to defeat
it. Now its enactment seems al
most certain. a -.-4s
The Pennsylvania senator, rec
ognized as representative Of the big
interests, also said that he will urge
the House members to pass the tar
iff measure promptly as a means of
relieving the farmers of the coun-
try.
Members of the finance commit
tee explained that Penrose's shift IS
due to the fact that the steel in
dustry of Pennsylvania is also una
BILE to finance their export business
and the pressure from farm states
was augmented to such an extent by
pressure from the industrial regions
that he agreed that there is necessi-
ty for an emergency tariff.
