All Other Problems Will Be Settled in Short Order, is Opinion of Leading Delegates.
Desire of Great Britain to Reduce Number of U- Boats Is Expected to Lead to Lengthy Arguments.

Washington, Dec. 12.-0}y Associ- ated Press )-Submarines promise to present the arms conference with it's next big issue.
 On all the other major subjects be- fore the conference the delegates pro- fessed today 10 see a prospect of early solution. But the question of Wheth- CT submarines are to be included in quantity in the fleets of the future is developing widely divergent opinion.
 The submarine problem, which in- wolves among other things a question of whether undersea craft are to be considered at all as legitimate instru- ments of warfare, is said by delegates to be entirely separate from all of these.
 Expect Long Argument.
 In the American Naval reduction plan Great BSitain and the United States each would be given a submar- inc tonnage of 90,OOO tons as com pared with 54,OOO tons for Japan and a quantity yet to be fixed for France and Italy. Great Britain thinks these figures should be cut in half and a British spokesman predicted today that the conflict of views might lead to considerable controversy"
 It was stated today that the British would not attempt to make an issue on the question if convinced that the majority of the conference was Op- posed to them. But they said frank ly they intended to make a strong eff fort to present the British viewpoint as set out by Mir. Balfour in his speech before the conference, with such additional reinforcement of de- tails as to bring support to their po- sition.

Fall Flowing Is Good Practice,

For various spring. sown crops, espe.
cially grain, fall plowing Is q profitable
operation In many sections. As an eco.
nomic measure, 1t prevents the piling up
of work at critical period. Spring
grain usually can be sown to advantage
as soon as the frost is out and the ground
is dry enough to work, and it is to the
farmers advantage to have 1t In the
ground as early as practicable. The
greatest obstacle to early planting Is get.
ting the ground In shape. On large oper.
ations, where either plowing or seeding
takes q month, waiting for the man and
horsepower to finish plowing before 1t
can be used In seeding often means q de-
lay that Is disastrous. II the ground Is
plowed in the fall, when other work is
not pressing, only disking or narrowing
will be required in the spring.
Fall plowing serves other valuable pur-
poses. 1t permits the ground to store
up moisture from winter SHOWS and
rains, and often dislodges eggs and larvm
of insect pests which had found snug
winter quarters In the soil, exposing
them so they will be killed by the cold.
Stubble and other vegetable matter left
from the harvest, If turned under in the
fall, has many more months to rot and
become incorporated with the soil.
Whether to plow In the fall 10 of course
largely question of local conditions and
individual judgment. Sandy soils, for
instance, may be rendered liable to blow.
ing II plowed and left unseeded all win.
ter. Heavy coils are usually benefited

There are three cardinal points
in Names Water Power Program
that have been brought to the front
during the several years I have
served in the Legislature.
'The first two have been settled by
law and charter amendment and have
been endorsed by an overwhelming
public sentiment. The third Is yet
to be settled.
First: Names Water Powers must
be kept in Maine for the beneit Of
Maine people and Maine industries
It has taken several years of hard
work in the Legislature to establish
this principle beyond recall.
Second: Where the Legislature
has given away q franchise in Names
public lakes and natural storage res
ervofrs, the State reserves the right, II
the public needs require II, to take
back the franchise without paying for
It. This means that the State would
pay a fair price for aA improvements
and developments, and for all money
invested in the property, out would
not be obliged to pay for the tran
chise which the State ttseH gave
away. This principle has been estab-
hshed within the past fve years.

GREATEST IN PLAINS STATES
Matter Of Farm Risks Established BY
Records Kept by the Depart
ment OF Agriculture.

Risks in the production Of three
great staple crops-corn. wheat and
oats-are greatest in the plains states.
extending from Texas to North Da-
kota. This general fact Is established
by the average deviation Of the yield
per acre from the average yield, COM
puted by the bureau Of crop estimates.
Department Of Agriculture, for these
three crops for each state from the
records Of 80 years.
On the other hand, the North At
lantic and the western states are re-
gions of comparatively low risk, or
deviation of yield per acre from the
average, for wheat and oats. and the
entire Atlantic coast and the west for
corn.
The great corn belt with its enor-
nous production and surplus above
local consumption, Is, after all, prom
lnently subject to risks ct weather, In
sects and disease In the production OF
crops, and, while 1t would be going too
far to say Of this region as a whole
that the results Of Its agriculture are
either "a feast or famine" yet there
is q tendency in this direction as the
area covered by the average becomes
more restricted to county. township
and individual farm.
