Corn Production Resolution

The following resolution was
passed by the Farm Bureau Di-
rectors: asit,Eir s.
That it be advisable to reduce
the corn acreage to a normal basis
and more land be put into a leg
ume crop.
During the war period the far
mer responded to the cry of more
food and plowed up his grass land
in order to increase the acreage of
grain. Following the war with
high prices this land was still put
into grain crop in order to be of
immedis tie financial benefit to the
farmer. Also a great deal Of land
was left in grain on account Of the
failure to get a stand of clover du-
ring the last few years.
Statistics show that we have not
decreased in acreage great deal
and in 1920 had the next to the
highest acreage ever planted with
forty-six bushels per acre average
or the highest on record. The
farmer has not only this great crop
on hand but up to the present he
is without a market for it. With
these different things in view, it
will surely seem advisable to get
our farms down to the normal
corn acreage. In doing this there
should be enough corn on hand for

He yawned, stretched himself,
rose, went to the door, and yelled
this at the mail carrier who had
paused at his box: "Hey! the roads
are blocked ahead. You can't get

and settled down by the warm
fireside, while the poor shivering
mail man passed on to renew his

Sabbath Reflection.
When, in his latter days, Napo-
leon compared himself4with Christ
he was startled by his own. little
ness. The contrast caused him to
see himself as through an inverted
telescope little midget wander
ing far away. He beheld his own
selfish plans and manner of con-
quering the world utterly uprooted
and reversed by the meek and
kindly ways of Jesus who with
love and kindness is subduing the
remotest hooks of the earth. Even
the hideous savage Of the jungle is
slowly transformed into a thing of
beauty by the eternal influence Of
Christ. Napoleon is one 4of the
greatest characters in history, but
he is also one of the greatest fail
ures. Christ is the greatest and
most beautiful character that ever
appeared in the worlds history.
Continued mediation upon his
character and teachings develops
peace and virtue within us and
weaves the fabric of Immortality
into our poor little lives.

Berlin. June 1O.-A series of confer
ences, official and unofficial. but all

determination that the first step to-
ward ending the insurrection must be
the withdrawal Of the Germans from
certain positions. The Germans have
agreed to leave part of Annaberg, and

ed into zone which will prevent
fighting.
Conferences have been held in Oppeln

committee of twelve political leaders. In

are being made to develop plan which
will obviate further fighting. Already
that though the insurgent army is dis
banding. the armed demonstration has
served its purpose.
Dixtrust on Both Sides.
The hitch in the negotiations is over
the problem as to who will police the
area. The insurgents propose the use
of the militia already formed. but this is
looked upon as confirming the occupa-
tion or as preparation for a new
seizure of power as soon as the allies
leave. A week ago the French proposed
the formation of community guard or
"garde communalc." and almost succeed
ed in having the plan adopted 1t would
have favored the Poles by taking the
control from the central commission and
placing it in the hands of regional con-
trollers.
The Germans insist that the insurgent
"war criminals" must be tried.
This morning about 200 armed insur-
gents from Sosnitza tried to capture the
Gleiwitz station on the outskirts of the
city, which has a population of $4,000
and is in the industrial area. The Ger
man police permitted the insurgents to
enter the city. surrounded them. forced
them to surrender and turned the pris-
oners over to the French garrison.
