NORRIS BILL
STILLFAVORED
BY FARM BLOC
Agricultural Senators Not
Enthusiastic Over Admins
tratiOn's Export Scheme.

! WASHINGTON, July 27.-Opposition
was renewed today by the senatorial
| agricultural bloc" to the Administration j
| substitution to the Norris bill to create
| S1OO0O0,O00 finance corporation for
financing agricultural exports. Members
fthe Senate Agricultural Committee,
headed by Senator Norris (Rep., Nob.)
met before the Senate reconvened further
to amend the Norris bill in an effort to
meet some of the Administrators OBJ
jections to it. 1t was agreed to eliminate
the provision which would have had the
Federal Government engage in the buy
ing and selling Of farm products for ex-
port and to cut the proposed $10OO,OOO,-
coo bond issue to $500, 100000.
By changing the bill to make it con
form more with the Administration view
point the agricultural bloc" planned to
offer a substitute for the Norris plan
and thereby to block the Administration
measure Senators Unidentified with the
bloc" declared it was their purpose to
test the sincerity Of the Administrations
opposition to the Norris bill but then
they admit the Administration bill prob
ably will prevail in the end They in
sist however, that but for the strong
support the Norris bill had mustered
the Administration would not have put
forth any plan for a further extension Of
credits to the farmers, even through the
War Finance Corporation and they ex-
pressed themselves as not altogether dis
satisfied with the latest developments.
Until the rumpus over the agricultural
legislation has subsidized, and the Ad-
ministrations bill is either passed OF
rejected. no action Is contemplated by the
Senate leaders on the Presidents pro-
posal for assisting the railroads through
the War Finance Corporation.

In lakes and ponds. no doubt. the de
aging vegetation and the dying Of the
minute animal life comprising the plank
ton in these waters fastened by ex-
trcmely high temperatures, has had a
great deal TO do with the inadequately

Added to this is the fact that we
have had very little rainfall and windy
weather. which are the principal agents
In supplying oxygen 10 stlll waters. In
lakes and ponds, as well as streams, the
dearth Of oxygen is responsible for the
death Of many fish. and This is not an
unusual circumstance during hot and

good rain storms will bring an end to
these conditions"

ANSWER FROM

Sim Fem Leaders Confer in
Utmost Secrecy Over
Peace Offer.
BRITISH ARE HOPEFUL

LONDON, July 27.-With the Sim Fem
chieftains comforting among themselves
in secret at Dublin. the opinion was ad-
vanced in semi Official circles today that
Premier Lloyd George will not receive a
formal reply to his peace offer from
Eamonn De Valera until Friday.
1t then will be necessary to com
municate with the Unionist government
at Belfast
II conditions are such that a general
Irish peace parley can be held in Lon
don it probably will open during the first
/ ten days of August. De Valera, Arthur
Griffith, Michael Collins and the other
members of the Sim Feln cabinet at
Dublin, who have been comforting daily
since Sunday have maintained the utmost
secrecy and have given no intimation as
to their decision.
British officials are hopeful the Sim
Feiners will adopt a cOnclliatory attitude
now they have given up their demand
for an Irish republic. 1t is believed that
the Irish Will not insist on their right
to maintain an army and navy but Will
content themselves with an Irish police
force.
The Unionists Of South Ireland who are
already in accord with the Republicans
have been carrying on conversations with
the Ulsuer Unionists and there seems to be
ground for the belief that they have
reached an agreement Of some kind.
II the negotiations work out to a salts
factory conclusion and the general peace
parley is held to work out a final agree
ment upon the basis Of dominion home
rule for Ireland. It is probable that Par
lament viii take the month Of December
to debate and ratify the solution.

issue a public proclamation on New
Years day announcing the new status OF
Ireland. However, this Is contingent
upon a satisfactory agreement Of the
various political factions in the meantime
and there is a disposition TO minimize
the obstacles that Will have been encoun-
tered in the meantime.
Difference between the Republican and
British military STATS in Ireland have
been arranged satisfactory and Ireland
now Is enjoying real tranquility for the
first time in many months.

Winter Packing Of Bees.

Clemson College, Oct. Ito Win
ter bees successfully it is necessary
that conditions be correct. Just now
there is ain active honey flow in most
sections of the state from fall flowers
which probably makes feeding un-
necessary. The colonies to be WIN
tered should be strong and there
should be a good active cI:een IN
each. A strong colony should have
three or four frames full of brood,
with plenty of stores, preferably well
ripened honey. By seeing to it that
these conditions exist at time of pack
ing, the beekeeper provides the SAT-
est and most certain conditions to
prevent winter loss and to insure
strong colonies in early spring foi
the first honey flow. The conditions
above referred to should exist about
ten days to two weeks before pack
ing. The average time for putting the
packing on is during the first week
in November.

Besides fumigation the farmer
should consider the following points
in connection with stored corn in
sects:
1. The loose fitting shuck does not
protect the ear against weevils, but
encourages them, as it gives them
protection. These loose shucks en-
able the weevil to travel from the
field to the crib with the greatest
possible comfort. In the crib these
loose shucks are employed by rats and
mice when making their nests.
2. The best shuck protection oc-
ours where the shuck completely COW
ers the ear, and where the tip of the
ear hangs downward to shed water
during rains.
These facts should be taken into
consideration by farmers in selecting
their seed corn, at the same time
bearing in mind the yielding quail
ties.
