HIGH FREIGHT RATES
PERIL THE FARMER

Washington, Aug. 2O.-Railroads
must share with the farmers and
others the burden of the present eco
nomic situation by reducing freight
rates, Secretary Wallace said before
the Interstate Commerce commission,
which is investigating rates on grain
and hay.
High freight rates have stopped
production, he said, adding that II
the present situation continued pro-
duction from the farms would be re-
duced materially.
eve cannot afford to let our agri-
culture be destroyed" he said. an
attempting to relieve the distress of
the farmers we are dealing with great
economic forces. All our people ought
to share the burden of the present
depression"
The farmer is bearing more than
his share TO the economic load, he
said, because the purchasing power
of farm products is below the aver
age of other commodities. He pre-
scented figures to showthat in Iowa
the purchasing power of oats was 48
per cent Of what it was from 1909 to
1914.
Reductions in freight rates on the
commodities under investigation, cs-
pccially on hay, he said, would be re-
hectcd in a larger volume of traffic
and therefore in greater revenues for
the railroads. The prosperity Of the
railroads, he added, depends largely
on the prosperity of the farmers.
Many young farmers buying land
at high prices at times of abnormal
prices were forcclosed when the de-
preston came, he said, causing stu
alton which should be a matter Of
public concern because Of reduced
production.

INDIANS TO COLLECT
SEEDS OF THE FOREST
Forest Reserves of Northern
Minnesota to Be Combed
for Tree Seeds

The forestry department OF the
state is again asking the Indians Oh
the north woods to assist in gathering
the fall harvest of tree seeds in the
forest reserves of the northern part
of the state according to State Forest
er w. T. Cox.
Th collection of the pine cones from
spruce, white Norway and jack pines
commences about the last OF August
and continues through the early part
of September.
About 100 bushels Of cones are to
be collected for which the Indians are
paid from SO cents to $3.50 per
bushel according to the kind OF cote
and the crop.
One bushel Of cones will yield one
half pound of seed an done pound OF
seed runs from 20.0GU to 100000
seeds.
There are three methods OF collect
ing cones, from felled trees, from
standing trees and from squirrel
boards or caches. Where logging
operations are going on it Is often
possible to pick the cones from fellfd
trees and from the ground after the
brush is cleared away. In collecting
from standing timber it is often nee
essary to climb to the highest point
to reach the best cones, ana entails
considerable labor on the pan OF the
harveSters.
When the Zones are collected they
are sent to ClOquct, ';,H"a park OF
Cass Lake, where Ia " 'r' hi'cu ana
the seed extracted. Ihr process o!
extracting the seed sometimes is done
with a threshing "Outfit' not unlik"
the method used in threshing small
grain. The seed is then sent to the
various nurseries under state super
vision where they are planted in BEDS
and tho young trees are alio"ed |"
gain strength for several years, when
they are transplanted in the parks.

RELIEF TERMS ARE -.
ACCEPTABLE TO RUSSIA
American Relief Will Begin
to Go to Needy Russians
Immediately

Washington, Aug. 20.-A satisfac-
story agreement has been reached
with the Soviet authorities at Riga
under which the American relief adj
ministration will begin Immediately
to fight famine among the children of
Russia, Secretary Hoover announced
Thursday. The agreement, he added,
accepts conditions laid down by the
American Experimentation safeguard
ing the lives Of relief workers and in
suring American CONTROL Of food sup
plies.
The secretary said it may be a day
or two before formal agreement is
signed. Important details such as
means of transportation and location
of serious famine areas remain to be
worked out, he said. 4
The work of food relief in Russia
will begin at once, hehdeclared, add
ing that the New York office of the
administration was preparing vessels
to rush supplies to DanZig for trans
shipment into Russia. The quantity
Of food needed, it is understood, cam
not be determined until a survey of
Russian famine conditions is made.
A letter from President Harding
indorsing the effort to mitigate fam
inc in Russia and asking unity of the
relief work in one American organi-
zation was made public by Mr.. Hoov-
err
The council is composed of the
American relief administration,
American friends service committee,
American Red Cross, Federal Council
of the Churches of Christ in America,
Jewish Joint Distribution committee,
Knights TO Columbus, Young Mems
Christian association and the Catholic
welfare committee.
"It is not the intention Of the
American relief administration" Mr..
Hoover said, "to make any public
appeals for funds as it feels that the
economic situation in America does
not warrant such demand until the
whole employment and business stu
alton is greatly improved. Many per-
sons who desire to contribute are
recommended to do so through any
of the cooperative organizations"

(By United Press)

Fearing a negro mob would storm
his jail to rescue three negroes held
here, Sheriff Rosenthal early today
asked the commander of Camp Per

He said that he had been informed

three negroes arrested on charge
of attacking Miss Gertrude Butler.
A white mob has twice approached
the Jail threatening to lynch.
