WASHINGTON. Sept 26-Presi- dent Harding today formally opened the national unemployment confer ence which the administration hopes will evolve the means of putting most nations involuntarily idle back to work.

He said we are "funda- mentally sound. financially strong, in dustrially uuimpaired, commercially consistent and politically unafraid." | ne preSiuent asserted tnere ought to be work for everybody in the United States who chooses to work and our condition at home and our place in the world depends upon everybody working and pursuing work with that patriotism and de votion which makes fortunes and happy people" The president assert ed "open. sure and onward way" to rid nations of wars aftermath de pression involved liquidation. re-or- ganization. re-adiustment and re-es- tablshment. taking account of things done and a sober contemplation of things to be done"

 Although every business man." reads the outline, recognizes that the United States can never return to it's former commercial isolation, as regards world trade, few realize that it is our interscctional isolation which is doing more than any one factor to delay the return to normal business conditions.

 This program contemplates the presentation to the convention of To- cal problems facing each section of the country. The bankers, having their fingers on the industpial pulse of the country, are in a position to present these barely local problems in their entirety.
 With such concrete data before the convention the bankers will have the oportunity of segrcEating prob lcms of a strictly local nature from those which are merely a part of general national conditions. The con cmsions to be reached at this con vcntion are being looked forward to by business men throughout the country. It is doubtful if ever a body of men had so fine an opportunity to accomplish such far reaching re suits as this gathering of American bankers. Not only have they the opportunity of doing much toward stabilizing conditions in the United States, but such a result will have it's effect on trade conditions through out the world"

from the accumulation Of snow in the
lee, and the conservation Of this mois-
ture. Here cultivation was possible
within four feet Of the trunks Of the
trees. so that the increased yield OF
the field, amounting to about ii BUSH
els an acre at the highest point, was
practically clear gain. The total gain
for the whole field amounted to the
yield Of a strip OF ground as long as
the windbreak, and three times as wide
as It's height. Or. had the windbreak,
which was 20 feet high, occupied
strip Of gcrund 60 feet wide. the gain
in the field crop would have paid the
rental on all this ground.
The corn crops showed more consist
ent and marked benedG from protec-
ton than any others. In the region
concerned the summer winds are al
most wholly from the south, so that
the only effective rows and belts ex-
tended in an east-west direction. The
effect on corn was very mraked for
short distance on the south side of
such windbreaks, and for much
greater distance on the north side.
Fields Of young corn showed much
better growth in the area protected
and warmed by the windbreak.
The effect was visible early in the
season, which was rather cold Height
measurements on one field showed the
plants to be Az feet high in the first
IS rows next to the windhreak. while
beyond this protected zone the height
was only pig feet. This luxuriant
growth was still in evidence at the end
Of the season, and not only produced
more fodder. but bigger and heavier
ears. The field showed q production
of 50 bushels to the acre in the pro-
tected area. The net gain. including
the area shaded by the trees. was
equivalent to the yield of a strip
twice as wide as the height CT the
trees. which were IS feet high. The
increased yield paid. then, for strip
IS feet wide. The windbreak happen
ed TO be wider than this, but need not
have been to afford the same amount
of protection.
With ordinary field crops the farm
er may count on a benefit from wind
break protection which will compen-
safe for the loss of the area used by
the trees. Under Middle West condi-
tions--lllinois. Iowa. Minnesota. Da-
kotas, Nebraska and Kansas wind

two or three times its height will mere
timber it may produce.

Whether the total effect OF a wind
| break is good or bad depends upon
whether the benefits derived from its
| influence are greater or less than the
injury resulting from the sappins and
| shading of the ground near by. Some
crops do better than others when
! shaded. Seeding crops, such as tim
cthy and alfalfa. are least affected
Grains which develop early in the
spring, such as oats ana wheat, are
! most affected. and corn takes an in
termediate position.
The old argument that a windbreak
uses more ground than 1t il worth con-
tinues to bob up occasionally, support
ed mostly by farmers who have not
investigated carefully. 1t IL admitted
frankly, that the effect Of q wind
break is not beneficial in every respect
and that there are ways in which it
is quite plainly injurious. Every farm
er knows that trees spread their roots
extensively to fields seeking moisture;
and they take net only the moisture
but some of the nitrogen content of
the soil also. But this does not dis
pose Of the question Of having or net
having windbreak
To determine the total effect. crop
measurements Were made by forestry
experts in Nebraska. Kansas, Iowa and
Minnesota. Average. rather than ex-
ceptional. conditions We're used. the
object being to discover the effect of
those influences which are continuous
and affect every annual crop grown
These measurements convinced Off
Gals of the forest service Of the Uni
ted States department Of agriculture
that the crop gain in fields of small
grain. in he protected zCne. Is suf-
ficient to offset fully the effects of
shading and sapping.
windbreak the gain amounted to about
10 bushels an acre where the protcc-
tion was most @omplete. and Sraiu-
ally became less as the distance fram
the windbreak increased. The lotni
gain was about equal to the amourt
of grain that co ,,i rave been grown
on the shaded ground near tue tt,.s
The season in which the measu-. alsntS
were taken was not enc Of high winds
nor did it lack moisture. 1t appeared
therefore, that in windy year when
evaporation was high the fetal ,uin
for the field would much more than
balance the loss.
In another instance. on the south o.
