GIFT CORN WEEK ).
IN SOUTH DAKOTA
Z, &. HibblsOn Named Chairman Of
Gift.COm Relief For COuaty

This Is gift-corn week in South Da-
kota. Farmers from probably a dozen
to twenty counties are hauling corn
{ market to be given Il the starving
people of Europe, China and the Near
East under the direction of Herbert
Hoover and other chairmen of relief
committees.
+ G. Hibbison, of Miller township,
has been named as chairman OF the
gift-corn relief for Hand county. Full
details for hauling the corn have been
sent to him, together with instructions
for Smelling, labelling the car with the
county banner and shipping under di-
rections Of the gift-corn relief commit
tee in Chicago. The contribution from
this county will be g part of the Co.
900 900 bushels which American far
mers are undertaking to supply.
Gift-corn is known all over the
world as a big humanitarian project
fostered by the American Farm Blu
a federation, and all the corn states
are taking part in 1t. ". S. Hill, presi-
dent of the South Dakota Farm Blu
reau, has appointed chairmen through
put the state to look after the gift
work in their respective counties in
cooperation with the local farm bu-
reaus and county agents. Whether
conditions permitting, about a half
million bushels may be contributed
this week.
This means a great deal to South
Dakota. according to President Hill.
Not only does it give notice to the rest
of the world that our farmers are big
hearted in a big way but also that this
state Is now one of the leaders in the
great corn belt" We truly hope the
entire corn section of the state will
give literally this week for what it
means to the needy parts of the world
and to ourselves.
Corn day "a observed in Nebraska
on March 10. Ohio farmers plan to
haul to market and shell $50 carloads
in n day, approximately half mil
lion bushels. Illinois got busy two
weeks ago and hos now contributed
than any two other states COM
bined. The South Dakota Farm Bu-
reau has notified Carl Vrooman, direc-
tor of the gift-corn relief committee
in Chicago, that the Sunshine State
a IL necessary supply twice her
quota Of 100000 bushels. Farmers
who want to put it all over Ohio and
some other states should get i'm touch
with their local farm bureau officials
now.

GERMANY MUST PAY BY MAY list

Paris, March 15.-Germany was call
ed upon yesterday by the allied repair
ations commission to carry out Article
235 OF the Versailles treaty, which sti-
pilates Germany must pay before May
1, 1921, the equivalent of 20, 1000. 000, 900
gold marks. The treaty provides that
this payment may be made in gold,
commodities. ships, securities or other
~valuables and that out of this sum the
expenses OF the armies of occupation
are first to be met.
The commission also took steps to
carry out Article 233 of the treaty
which provides that Germany must be
notified before May 1, next, of the
total amount of wal damage imposed
upon her by the treaty
IF Germany persists i'm refusing to
make payment" says the Petit Parisien
in discussing the action of the COM
mission, she will force us to impose
upon her the integral execution of the
treaty. That was the significance of
yesterdays meeting"
In discussing the protest made to the
league OF nations by Germany against
the penalties being enforced by the al
lies on Germany because of her refus-
al to carry out her PREPARATION obliga-
tons the Petit Parisien says Germany
is not qualified to demand arbitration
from the league as she is not a member
of it"
Negotiations between France and
Germany concerning the transfer of
funds collected for the purpose of pay
ing disability and old age insurance
TO residents Of Alsace and Lorraine
have failed and France, it is declared,
is prepared to ask that Article II of
the Versailles treaty be enforced. This
provides that the German gov
eminent shall undertake to pay over
the French government a D
ton of all reserves accumulated by the
empire or by public or private bodies
upon 1t for the purpose of
disability and old age insurance.

Reaction Inn Wheat
AS Support Fails
After Early Rise
Gains at Start Made ON
Crop Damage Reports
and Improved Outlook;
Corn Holds Fairly Firm

CHICAGO, May 10--Dearth Of buy
ing orders led to reactions in the
wheat market to-day from an advance
that was ascribed largely to crop
damage In the Southwest. The mar
ket closed unsettled, at &c net de-
cline to. aAc gain, with May s1.SsM to
s1.3s%. and July s1.12A to $1.1s. Corn
finished quieter at Sac to &c up. Oats
unchanged to 1ac higher, and provi-
sions showing q setback Of tic to 40c.
One OF the circumstances which re-
bullish sentiment regarding wheat
was the tradition of calendar traders that
May 10 has been date favorable for
spring selling and therefore time to
avoid purchase commitments. Further
more, slowness OF -four demand at Mime
apolis induced belief that spring wheat
shipments would more largely be directed
to Chicago for the time being. Inactivity
on the part OF exporters tended likewise
to offset the strength which at first the
market displayed in connection with un-
favorable field advices from Oklahoma and
Kansas. Knowledge that the government
reports on winter wheat indicated a less
looked for was to some extent a stirnulat-
ing factor, but not of q lasting sort.
Corn and oats developed a little inde-
pendent strength as result of rains
which delayed corn planting, In addition
crop reports to oats were bullsh
Provisions were weak In line with hog
values.
