highest point in history in 1919. This
years yield will be only slightly less.
At the same time. the marketing OF
hay has become . more particular un-
dertaking. Formerly nearly all hay
was sold within 80 miles Of the place
where 1t was grown. Now large part
Of It Is shipped by rail and some ex-
ported.
Two Klnds Of Markets.
Market hay may be divided into two
general classes: City market hay and
local. or country. market hay. The line
Of distinction between the two classes

may be said that the demand In re
gard to quality and better grades Is
more rigid in the city than on the local
market. 1t requires a better quality

I would like you to bring into the conference not only the ablest representative of agricultural pro- duction which shall represent our great country in the broadest pos sible way, but I think much good would come if you will include in the conference those who are engaged in industry most intimately asso- ciated with agriculture. It will clar- fly our views if we may have present representatives of the more impor- tant interests which are closely re- lated and dependent on agriculture I trust these repre- esentatives will be invited. I must leave the makeup of the conference to your more intimate knowledge of those who may confer most helpfully but I will be glad if you will immediately issue invita- tions so that both country and the government may have the benefit of the earliest possible suggestions which will come from such a meet 1 ing.

United States collector of the customs heee-
 Mir. Fowler also said that the cid Boniilas bridge crossing would be closed permanently Sunday. The Bonillas bridge crossing has been one of the two gateways into Mexico here for pedestrians and vehicles for many years. It was closed for some time because of revolutions in Mexico but was reopened a year ago.
 The building of the Grand Avenue gateway required months of work and the expenditure Of many thous- ands of dollars. The cost of the work was paid by contributions by Sec retary de la Hue-ta of the Mexican treasury department, the city of No gales, Sonora. and merchants on both sides of the border.
 A movement now has been begun here to raise S1OO.00O for the con struction of mammoth arch at the new gateway. IL is planned to make the arch the largest at any gateway between the two countries and to have it ready for dedication at the time of the proposed international exposition here in 1923.

|FIkAL DRAF l IF TARIFF MEASURE | ID bE READY IN
 EARLY FEBRUARY
Senate Finance Committee To Start Drafting Perm anent Tariff Bill Next Week
Republican A. p. Leased wlrel

WASHINGTON, Dec. 30-Senate tariff makers plan to start next week the drafting of the so-called per manent tariff bill, passed by the house last spring. The aim is to have the measure ready for the sen ate by early February but because of the great task involved in passing in more than 100000 items in the bill, this hope may not be realized.
 The first task before the finance committee is a decision as to the adoption of straight-out American valuation plan of assessing duties, or the substitution of a plan similar to that outlined by President Harding in his message to congress early this month. Most members of the com mittee apparently are agreed that some arrangement will have to be made if the measure is to afford real protection to American industry from the cheap producing countries in central Europe.
 Hearings on the tariff virtually were closed today, though on Jan. 9, representatives of the Southern Tar if association will appear. Lumber and dairy products were the principal subjects discussed today. the lumber hearings being marked by charges by Robert B. Allen of Seattle. speaking for the West Coast Lumber Manu- lecturers association. that "a Cana dian lobby" in Washington was fos-
 tering an insiduous propaganda against the proposed duty of 30 cents a thousand on shingles and the pro- vision of the Fordney bill giving the president authority to impose a duty
 on lumber if countries now taxing
 lumber import decline to remove that tax
 MT. Allen supported these provi- sions while they were opposed by Donald D. Coon of Minneapolis. for the Western Pine Manufacturers 1 association; Harris Patton. for the Northwestern Lumbermen's associa- ton and other witnesses. Mir. Conn referring to Mir. Aliens charges said l he was unaware that there was q Canadian lobby" in Washington ana | that if there was one T am it H' added, however. that the Canadian i holdings of the interests for which hs spoke were very small as compared | to their American holdings.
 l A duty of 10 cents a pound on but ter in place of the proposed eigh cents with a corresponding tax or | other dairy products brought int, | this country, was urged by R. w l Balderson of Philadelphia. secretar! | of the Interstate MIX Producers as l sociation and A. NJ. Loomis of Wash ! ington, who. said he represented tn,
 National Dairy union and the Ma l tional Grange.
 These witnesses charged that tn Danes were making the Unite,

CHILEAN AMBASSADOR SAYS PERU PROPOSAL IS TOO COMPLICATED

WASHINGTON. Dec. s0-Dr. Bel tran Matheiu, Chilean ambassador to the United States in a statement is- sued today, said the Peruvian pro- posal that all differences between Chile and Peru growing out of the treaty of Ancon be arbitrated by President Harding would neces- sarily set up an issue so complicated that no government would care to undertake it's solution
 Tt is apparent~that the Chilean governments generous initiative. :" said Ambassador Mathieus state ment, "is becoming so tied up with diplomatic red tape that instead of being amplified into the single clean cut Issue which is the only one really involved, the problem is being hope lessly complicated by the injection of extraneous clements"
 The ambassadors statement, large iy devoted to a review of the ex- changes between his government and Peru. follows in part;
 Tn harmony with the prevailing atmosphere of international concilia- tions. the government of Chile has invited the government of Peru to join in solving the differences out standing with respect to the definite ownership of the territories of TaCna and Africa by holding the plebisCite provided for in the treaty concluded at Ancon, between the two countries.
 "The government of Peru has re- piled to the government of Chile. pro- posing to the latter to submit the dispute to the decision of an arbi- trator
 The government of Chile accepts that proposal, but insists that the -s-..- -4 bitrator shall relate solely to the ! basis of the plebiscite, which is the only question that has been discussed l between the two governments "Perus refusal. if it is a fact. tC confine the arbitration to the con crete question would necessarily set l up an issue so complicated that nc | government would care to undertake | its solution"

 Secretary wallace said tonight that the date of the conference0had not yet been fixed nor. a complete in vitation list made up. It is expected however the conference will be held within a month and that in addition to farmers and their organizations, Industries associated directly and in directly with agriculture will be called in to assist in the efforts to improve conditions.

American Relief Director Finds Startling Condi- tions In Russian Famine District
rRepublican A. P. Leased wIre1

NEW YORK, Dec. 30.-The com- munists in Moscow and Petrograd are reve1ing in the luxurieS Of life, while starvation is taking heavy toll in the interior districts and heaps or dead babies remain unburied, Carl E. FToete, the American relief adminls- tration's representative in the district of Pugatchov, declared today. He has just returned to this country. Ienine rode around Moscow in Luxurious automobile, he declared, and the women's display of jewelry and expensive furs outshone anything seen in any other city. A guard or 500 soldiers around the Kremlin com prised the best fed ever seen there, he asserted.
 / MT. Fl0ete drew startling con- Hast of conditions among the starv- ing population in the interior of Rus . sia.
 .sThey don't have time to bury the dead and they hayn't the strength II they had the time" he declared. "Thev stack 'em up. Forty is the most ever saw in one pile anS they were babies. But don't believe they have got to cannibalism yet. except perhaps in some Of the remote country districts"
 The relief worker said he had fed about 50,000 in Pugatchov, formerly called Nicolaiev, the name having been changed because it was the scene of one of the bloodiest com- faunist uprisings in the early days of the revolution.
 q believe they are feeding 100000 now.n he said "But it's only a drop in the bucket All Russia is the same except in the big cities, Moscow and T T., r4-f,n starving to feed the 600.000 com munists who are running it. There is plenty of food the flneS flour and the most delicious pastry you can get anywhere in Moscow ant Petrograd.
 The soldiers stole our supplies al along the line" MT. Floete continued ssWhen we got to Pugatchov the! came to us and wanted us to sel them food. They said if we did no sell they would steal it, so we hat better sell it. We went to the off cials to have registration Of tn district. They registered the com munists first, so they would be sur to be fed. But it really didn't mak any difference. They all had to b fed. But it really didn't make an difference.

We gathered them up and pu them in the refugee houses and fe them. Some of them lived and som of them died. We just had to do tn - best we could feed them an hope they would live"
 Mir. Floete said the Russian rail roads were in good condition an statements that food could not be dis tributed because the transportatio system had broken down were un founded.
 'The railroads run and the trair get there" he added, "and the tele graph is working all right. The con munists keep up the lines of con
