The Knox Resolution

Senator Knox has again introduced in the senate
the resolution declaring end of the against the
imperial German government, which passed at the
preceding of congress and vetoed by Prcs-
dent Wilson.
This official statement of undsputed fact is
both necessary and desirable under existing conditions
The United States must either accept the treaty of Ver
sales and raty the covenant of the League of Nations
or it must continue indefinitely theoretical state
of war with Germany, or it must make some procama-
ton similar to that presented by Senator Knox.
The objections raised against this resolution, aside
from those of the advocates of the league plan that
was rejected in the election last fall, of two kinds
BY such resolution, is claimed, shall make peace
with Germany, and thereby abandon all the gains OF
the war; and shall also break faith with the Allied
powers to whom pledged support in the difficult
problems of peace making
1t is to these objections that the Knox resou-
ton contains reservations that must be taken

The Harding administration cannot will not and should
not accept membership in the League of Nations. 1t

able reservations it ought declare its nssence upon
its rights regards Germany, and its recognition of its
obligations to its associates.

The Colombian Treaty

Many Republicans will be surprised and some Of
them dspleased to hear that President Harding now
advocates the ratification of the treaty with Colombia
which provides for the payment of large amount of
money to that republic in connection with the secession
of the state of Panama that made possible the construc
ton of the Panama canal
There nothing to be added to the argument for
against the taken by the Roosevelt administra-
on at that time The facts in the are matters
history and there has been any attempt to
cea the facts. Opinions concerning those facts have
been very largely matter of partisan prejudice. One
might easily imagine that Democratic president would
do exactly what President Roosevelt did and in that
case he would be universally applauded by the Demo
Gratis and universally condemned by the Republicans
AS it happens, the relations between tho United
Stats and the republics of South Central America
have reached stage where in the opinion of Rerlb-
ican president and of Republican leaders in the senate
make the that has been the subject of so much
bitter partisan discussion.
1t may be presumed that President Harding Secre-
tary Hughes Senator Knox and other Republican leaders
would not advocate the ratification of this treaty. unless
they satisfied that it is for the national Interests
1t may also be presumed that their intention
to reflect discredt upon that great American president
who made possible the building of the canal
If the payment of this money opens the way TO the
rehabilitation of Mexico the permanent pacfication of
Central America and of close friendship with
the republics of South America the money will be we'll

things he needs himself, and putting
forth small money crop which will

farmer. and especially the farmer who
belongs to a farmer organization. Is
rapidly getting this idea. He is also
getting the idea that when no markets

eliminating at least some of the mid

for IT. Small crops, production for
homo consumption, and community co.

The worst difficulty which the farm

Is that chance and weather have a

lie can decide how much land he will
plant in n given crop and he does
consider this matter moro and more
carefully with ono eye on tho market
But he cannot decide how much the
land will produce. That depends on
the weather In onions. tho same land
may produce as little as $50 bushels
per acre or as much as 500 bushels.
Thus tho farmer may intend to pro-
ducc small crop and produce a large
one In spite OF himself.

II is ono OF tho strange features OF

have two distinct and dissimilar
names for what is essentially the same
article, for a Ghorkin is nothing more
than a cucumber, OF the small variety
used for picking. The explanation OF
the difference between the two words
lies in the fact that "Cherkin" comes
down 10 US thru the Dutch aEurkjc,
taken in turn from the Arabian khir-
gar and the Hindu khivar, all OF
which mean cucumber. In tho case of
cucumber" itself. however. tho name
is taken from tho Latin cucumis, or
which the arcusativc is cucumcrem.
I, is for this reason that "Ehcrkin'
Is used principally in sections where
the Dutch element prevails, while
cucumber is tho generally accepted
term.
Though We arc apt TO consider this
vegetable as "A product OF modern cul-
tivstion. tho cucumber must have been
known and used in very ancient
times. for tho Old Testament mentions

By Frederic J. HaskIn-

Washington. d. C. April li.-If you
are one of those thrifty persons who
cut down the cost OF living by buying
what tho market offers at n bargain.
you will feature onions on your liable
this spring.
The market is gluttod with onions.
There arc said to be $500 carloads tf
them on hand. which will soon DC
useless IL not eaten. And at the same
time tho human system has a special
need for onions. They are, according
to experts. one OF the very bcs. OF
tain vitamines. and tho mineral salts
in which u civilized diet is 80 poor.
but also certain essential oils that
have tho specific effect OF stimulating
tho liver. And the liver is usually an
important factor in that springtimc
feeling of lassitude and general indif-
ference which the poet does not si1g.
Tho present glut in the onion market
has forced down tho price OF that
vegetable, which took rank as a lux
ury during the war, to two cents
pound. In the producing regions you
can buy them for as littlo as half a
cent. This situation, which is so
happy for the onion eater and so sad
for the onion grower, is a part of sho
general collapse OF the values of farm
products-a collapse which is under
mining the economic health of tho
part to a popularity OF the business
of onion growing.
There are two great nion-nroducirS
regions in the United States. The
most important of these Is In the north.
1t runs from Massachusetts 10 Michi-
gan In an unbrokon belt across the
country, then jumps the prairie states
and appears in Colorado and northern
California. This region produces 81
per cent of all of our onions. From II
como the big white. red and yellow
onions which you can buy all winter
at tho grocery store. They are har-
vested in the early fall and arc placed
Ia special onion storage houses, which
are so constructed as TO resist tho
frost. These storage houses may be
owned by tho onion growers in some
cases. but arc moro often tho property
of local dealers. The onions are so,t
to market as they are needed.
southern Crop
In the South, especially in tho Gulf
states, there is another onion belt.
which produces tho other Is per cent
Of our onions. These arc tho Bermuda
onions which you soc figured on
menus about this time of tho year.
They are planted III December and
carly in tho spring. They

HAVE AN ONION

arc supposed to come on the market
Just as tho northern crop, stored the
ihll bctorc, is becoming exhausted In
tnis case, tho northern crop has not
been exhausted. Thousands OF tons OF
northern onions remain in tho mrkot
10 compete with the southern crop
And the southern crop won't keep
harvested in warm weather. II must
be moved and eaten with three or four
weeks. or 1t will spoil. Hence, not only
u the grower OF the northern onions
being forced to take n very low price
for his crop, but tho southern onion
man is apt to see his crop rot in
storage.
This situation is typical of the con-
ditions which are causing tho Amcri-
can farmer so much distress. Tho
price that he gets for his product is
regulated by demand and supply. I'm
fortunately he cannot control the de-
mand at all, and he can control tho
supply very little. Besides this, when
prices fan, n disproportionatc share Of
tho loss falls upon tho farmer. The
other agencies which handle his pro-
duct usually suffer very little when
prices fall. and they usually make
rise.
Tho Department Of Agriculture tries
TO help the farmer by telling him how
much to plant, so that he may avoid
gluttinG tho market and forcing down
tho price of his own product. For ok
ample. as soon as II has learned tho
size OF tho northern onion crop. tho
department. advises tho southern
onion mon about how much they may
safely plant. In the same way they
advise the farmers as to their potato
paintings, and abou. many other
crope. Much temporary good is ac-
comrlishcd in this way. but of course
this constitutes no solution Of the
problem OF how TO assure the farmer
a fair return for his investment and
his labor. 1t also leaves ne all In a
position which is a little absurd.
The population is increasing faster
than the food supply. Moreover. every
year socs n larger proportion of that
population crowded into the cities, and
n smaller proportion OF IL on the
fsrms. Hence we all urge the farmers
to produce as much food as possible.
Hut the interest of tho farmer lies tho
other way. When crops arc small, he
gets good prices. The city people suf-
fer when crops are large tho farmer
loses money, while the city people get
food at lower prices.
An Economic Abssvdity.
SO the better the farmer does for
the city people, the worse he docs for
himself. The best thing for him to do
