IMPROVEMENTS
ON FARM CUT,
SURVEY SHOWS
Def7ation Cuts Purchases of
Machinery and Handicaps
Production Likewise
REPORTS BASED ON
FARM BUREAU UNITS
Inability to Buy Equipment
to Handicap Planting
and Harvesting

St. Paul, Sept. 22.-Sales of farm
machinery have fallen SO 70 30 per
cent below in Minnesota this year,
and improvements OH iarms and farm
homes have decreased "aimost to
nothing," the Minnesota Farfn Bu"
reau federation asserted today. IN
announcing the results Of statewide
investigation into the effects Of de-
flation on agricultural progress.
The fcdcration'S review CT condl-
lions as reflected in machinery pur-
chases and improvements on Mime
sofa farms is based on reports trom
60 county farm bureaus. The reports
of the county bureaus, federation Of
ticers said, were based on inspec-
tons of majority of the, farms in
the counties reporting, and on state
ments obtained from retail dealers in
lumber, tile, fencing and farm ma
chincry.
Three of the 60 counties placed
purchases of farm machinery at SO
per cent of normal; the other GG de-
clared that decreased buying power
had compelled farmers to reduce
their machinery purchases to rs or
even 5 per cent of normal.
Only koochi chingand Mile Laos
counties estimated farm machinery
sales as large as in normal times.
In 80 counties, the farm bureau
reports predicted, inability to- buy
equipment will be serious handi-
cap in the planting and harvesting
of next years crop. In many Of the
other counties, farmers said the lack
Of new machinery would not hamper
them, because they arc exchanging
both machinery and labor, and re-
pairing every serviceable bit Of
equipment with parts taken from
castoff implements.
| While five counties reported sales
Of farm machinery normal for at
least so per cent Of normal, not one
county reported its farmers making
the usual amount Of repairs and i'm
provcmcnts on their land and build
lngs. Reports from Il counties e.,-
innate unkccp expenditures at more
than half Of normal; 80 report such
expenditures are from SO to 95 per
cent less than normal.
"nccroascs and increases in the
| purchase Oh PuulDmenE necessary to
produce crops, and in the upkecp Of
farm homes ard farm buildings re-
fleet the agricultural progress Of the
state as nothing else can" the fed
Grafton said in announcing results
of its investigation. "The fact thnt
improvements on farm homes have
virtually ceased, and that in half the
counties Of the state purchases Of
machinery have fallen Off to a point
where tho efficiency of production
is seriously threatened, is due solely
to the absolute inability Of the far
mer to buy. The farmer will not de-
libcratcly curtail production. Re-
| duccd production, eXccDt in rare in
stances, means reduced incomes for
| the individual farmer. But unless
the dcnation that has brought the
farmers products to prc-War prices
operates as effectively on the sup
plies TIE farmer must buy, he will
be forced to economic processes over
which he has no control, to produce
less. That eventually means much
higher prices for the consumer.

ARBUCKLE PRELIMINARY
OPENS This AFTERNOON
Movie Comedians Fate Now
Depends Largely Upon
Outcome of Hearing
(By United Pressl

San Francisco, Sept. 22.--Battle
lines were sharply drawn today Tor
the fight that will decide whether
Roscoe Arbuckle must go on triai
with even his life in jeopardy for the
murder of Virginia Rape.
The defense, still reservlng the
right of silence, was known to have
prepared a case designed to set up
for Arbuckle a contention that Miss
Rappe's death might have been caus-
ed by any one of the several causes
other than the alleged attack by Ar
buckle. It was not expected, how
ever, that the defense would offer
any witnesses at the Arbuckle pre-
liminary hearing today.
The state had summed up witnesses
and perhaps a dozen of less import
ance we're said to be available.
DR.. Arthur Beardsley, one of Miss
Rappe's attending physicians before
her death, remained an unknown
quantity in the case today. He had
not arrived up to an early hour from
his hunting camp in the Sierras, and a
detective was detailed to search for
him. He has been expected here
every day since Monday. Miss May
Parsons, wanted witness, was
also missing.
Arbuckle's preliminary hearing,
opening this afternoon, was expected
to last the remainder of the week.
There may be any one Of three out
comes: The court may require Ar
buckle to stand trial for murder; may
reduce the charge to man-slaugh ter
punishable by ten years imprison-
men; or may release Arbuckle on the
grounds of insufficient evidence.

GERMAN DEATH TOLL
ESTIMATED AT 1900
Poisonous Vapor Holds Back
Relief Work After Gas
Explosion Wednesday
(By United Press)

Berlin, Sept. 22.-(By Carl D.
Groat) -Penetrating the fog of poi
sonous vapor, which still hovers over
Oppau, which was victim of one OF
the greatest explosion disasters IN
German history, a rescue corps with
gas masks today sought for the lives
of possible survivors,, while reports
came back of death toll totaling not
less than 1900.
Five hundred bodies have been
taken from the shattered ruins about
the plant of the Badische Anilinfa-
brik Works, near Ludwigshaten,
which was destroyed together with
the little town of Oppau by series
of terrific explosions yesterday morn
ing. Scores of injured were taken
from the wreckage far from the
scene of the original explosion, but
it was feared all of those trapped in
the fatal area were killed by the poi
sonous fumes. Pitious scenes were
witnessed where the bodies of nearly
200 dead were layed out for identlil-
cation by relatives.
In most instances the victims were
so mutilated by the explosion that
they could not be recognized. IN
vestigaton as to the cause of the eX-
plosion will be started at once. Ru-
mors blaming the Bolshcvik and 9TH
err enemies of Germany for the dis
aster were current here, but were
not confirmed.
The first explosion occurred at
1880 yesterday morning while a
change of shifts was under way. 1t
was followed an instant later by
another which actually lifted the
main factory building from the
ground, hurled machinery and men
hundreds of feet into the air, COM
pletely buried and destroyed three
shift trains bringing workers to the
factory, and was felt for a distance
Of SO miles around.
The commissioner has allocatco
100, 900 marks for relief work in OPP
pau, the little village which was COM
pletely destroyed.
