FRENCH DESERVING FARMS;
NATION BECOMES ALARMED
0ne-Tenth of Agricultural
Property Is for Sale, Due
to Acute Shortage of Man.
Power

PARIS, Dec. 4.-By the Associ-
ated Press)-With more than one.
tenth of the farming lands of
France for, sale, there have been
frequent expressions of alarm as to
the fate of agriculture. The cry was
recently raised in the chamber of
deputies, that France was "for
sale"
Various suggestions have been
made to prevent the increasing
movement to the cities and to per-
suade the people to go back to the
land. When unemployed persons
with farming experience apply for
work at the employment bureaus,
it was proposed to send them to
farms needing help.
The shortage of labor because of
the losses among the peasantry in
the World war is one of the reasons
why so much farming land has been
placed on the market. Many women
whose husbands and sons were
killed prefer to sell rather than to
struggle with the difficult problem
of working q farm.
Some of the farmers, enriched with
war profits, are going into retire
nent, while many farms in northern
France are not cultivated because
their owners have disappeared. The
high wages paid by the factories as
compared with the remuneration
commanded by agricultural help are
attracting many young men and
girls from the country to the city.
The price of farms on the market
vary according to size and location.
Competent authorities place the
average ut between 1850 and 1900
francs per acre.
Notwithstanding the growing I'M
popularity of agriculture the French
farmer is the most protected indl.
Vidual in France. His interests are
looked after with greater care in
the national legislature than those
of any other class and he gets off
with comparative ease in his taxes,
paying but one-fftiCth part of the
total income tax collected.
Prices Of farm products are still
high and are not always sufficient
to meet the demand, Judging from
the fact that the farm products, eX-
elusive of grain, were imported last
year to the amount of about $780,
100000. The chamber of deputies
has just passed an appropriation to
put into use motion picture propa
ganda in an effort to popularizC
| farming and post farmers on i'm
proved methods of agriculture.

HOOVER ASKS FOR
LIBERAL ZAT|ON Of
ANTITRUST LAWS

WASHINGTON, Dec. 4-Liberall-
cation of the Sherman antitrust law
and supplementary restraint of
trade acts" to enable cooperative
organizations, as distinguished from
capital consultations, to be legally
formed, is advocated by Secretary
of Commerce Hoover, in his annual
report, parts of which were made
public today.
IIoover's plan for legally sanction
ing such cooperative ventures, to-
gether with his arguments in it's
favor as set forth in his report, fol
lows:
1T has often been argued that the
original intent of the restraint of
trade acts was not to inhibit any
sort of economic collective action
which was in interest of public well
fare, and that the time has come
when the act should be limited so as
to leave free all such action.
without entering upon debate as
to the difficulties of such a course
it is possible to consider a narrower
field of liberalization of law; that
is, for the law to be liberaliZed to
tn extent that cooperative organi-
cations generally, as distinguished
from capital consultations, should
be permitted to file with some ap.
prOpriate governmental agency the
plan of their operations, the func:
tons they proposed to carry on, and
the detectives they proposed to
reach; that upon approval such of
these functions as did not apparently
contraVene public interest might be
proceeded with; that upon complaint,
however, either of individuals or the
law officers Of the government that
these functions had reacted against
public interest, then after a hearing
before some suitable tribunal the
right to continue these particular
functions should, if the complaints
are justified, be suspended.
eff thereafter these functions
were continued or if it should be
proved that the activities had been
extended beyond the functions in the
original proposals, the organizations
should be likewise subject to prose.
cution under the present acts. Par.
ties who did not wish to avail them
selves of this privilege could con.
tinue in the present status.
"All who know the situation in
such matters will realize that the
problems Of cooperative action are
mainly the concern of the smaller
business. Such a measure as that
suggested above would serve actual
" to protect small business and thus
to maintain competition. Big bust
ness takes care of itself. Legiti-
mate trade associations and other
forms of business cooperation would
be greatly stimulated along lines of
public welfare if such a plan were
adopted.
ut appears to me that the time
has come when we should take cog
nizance of these necessities if we are
to have a progressive, economic sys
tenn. It's growing complexity, its
shift of objective and service, require
a determination based upon a pro
per sense of maintenance of long
view competition, initiative, business
stability. and public interest"

of the murder of Newton Taylor,

Ambassador Herriick
.Peeved at Reports Of
"Wetness'' of Dinner
(Leased Wire Service to The Journal.)
Copyright, 1929

PARIS, Dec. 4.-Because a single
correspondent misrepresented the
facts, Ambassador Myron T. Herrick
is considering withdrawing as hon
orary president of the Anglo.Ameri-
can Press association.
1t all dates back to the recent
dinner when the ambassador made
q wonderful hit with Paris general
of the organization until after 4
o'clock. AS related in these dis
patches at the time the ambassador
not only stayed until nearly the end
of the program, but made a very
happy speech as he departed.
However, another correspondent
in his cables ;ntimated that the din
ner was a very wet one and that it
was distinctly undignified in char
Iacter. An incident also misrep-e-
scented was that which ensued when

AS matter of fact, as was stated
at the time, this picturesque Incl

some of the facts apparently were
distorted and it is understood the
ambassador has received a great

Doesn't Play Politics
No such sanguine theory prevailed
in Mr.. HOoVer's mind, but he did
come to realize that by party affilia-
ton he might be able to accomplish
more than by staying in midstream.
He has not won the affection of the
strict party men since he has been
in office, because he isn't in the
habit of playing politics. He has
tried to concentrate on the big tasks
of the administration, feeling that
there was credit enough for every
body in a job we'll done.
It's an open secret that President
Harding leans heavily on Secretary
Hoover. OF all the men in the cabi-
net none played so big a part in
the huge administrative machinery
of the war as did Herbert Hoover
He is accustt ned to doing big
things and accepting large response
bility, hence, in many emergencies,
it is Mr.. Harding's custom to turn
> the secretary of commerce even
for some matters which logically do
not fall in that department any
other. Mr.. Hoover doesn't mind an
increase of responsibilities He
seems to have an unlimited appetite
for executive tasks. Some of the
men in the inner C.:Cles who are
no. accustomed to the Hoover type,
have upon occasion gotten - i'm
preston that he wanted to do other
peoples jobs and that lie had some
political motive in the back of his
head because of it. There is no real
foundation for their suspicion and
Mr.. Harding, who knows Mr.. HooV-
err, and who put him in the cabinet
over the protest of some Of the
| strict party men, wishes many a
| time, no doubt, that he had a few
| more men of vision like Mr. Hoover
| particularly in the legislative branch
| of the government.
The comment of Mr.. Hoover that

candidate is a significant statement

HARDING ! ATTENDS
JAMES R. MANN
FUNERAL SERVICES

WASHINGTON, Dec. Ain the
hall Of the house, where the best
years of his life were spent, the
nation Saturday paid final tribute to
Representative James r. Mann, of
Illinois.
Tonight the body of the house vet
feran was on its way home to Chi
cago for burial, under escort of a
congressional delegation composed
of his colleagues from Illinois and
friends closest to him in his work.
President Harding and his cab
ir.at. the senate and house, members
of the diplomatic corps, representa-
tives of every branch of the gov
eminent Mr.. Mann had served for
upwards of a quarter of a century,
and many of the humblest EN-
p!oyes who had known and respect
ed him, attended the ceremony.
None of the colleagues of the dead
Republican leader spoke in praise
of him at the funeral services. That
was as Mr.. Mann had wished. There
was only one funeral grafton, that
by the Rev. James +. Freeman,
rector of the Church of the Epiphany,
of Washington, which Mr.. Mann at
tended. The orator expressed the
appreciation of the nation that in
the most critical time in human his
tory the Illinois veteran had been
so placed as to exercise a command
ing influence in the American con-
gress.
With it's hushed silence and I'M
dertone of whispered conversation
the house presented a strange con-
trast to the hubbub that prevailed
in years gone by, when Mann, of
Illinois, was called upto the step to
the front and lead the legions of his
party in parliamentary battle. Col
leagues who often sat silent as he
lifted his voice in storming times of
the past were silent again and touch
ed with emotion today as they came
to say goodbye to their old war
rior.
The casket was placed in the we'll
of the house several hours before
time for the funeral. Members of
Mr.. Mann's office force stood silent
and in tears as a great profusion of
floral offerings was placed about the
casket.
The president and his cabinet &C.
cupied the first row of seats on the
left side of the chamber and inn
mediately behind them were mem
ibers of the diplomatic corps and
ranking officers of the army and
navy. On the right side. members
of the supreme court, headed by
Chief Justice Taft, sat nearest the
casllet, and the senate occupied the
section Immediately behind them.
The remainder Of the chamber was
occupied by members of the house
and relatives, Every seat in the gal
leries was filled.
Among those who visited the cham
Der before the doors were opened to
members generally, were former
Speaker Cannon, a lifelong friend
and companion of Mr.. Mann, and
Representative Madden, who had
worked with him for many years.
Uncle Joe walked into the chamber
alone, and proceeded halfway down
the aisle toward the catafalque, but
retracted his steps before reaching
the we'll of the house.
John Barton Payne, head of the
American Red Cross, and Mr..
Mann's nephew, was with Mrs.
Mann and Mrs. Donnelly.

Average Yield


General average yield per acre in
the five states, 1877 bushels; total
crop, 1858, 900 bushels.
Good Results Certain
The foregoing tables register
story full of interest. They clearly
indicate that up to date farmers are
giving closer attention to the soy
bean. This interest will intensity,
and good results will be won.
What about prices? In 1919. the
general average farm price for soys,
$3.50 per bushel in 1920, the price
was $500 per bushel. In 1890, Geor-
gia beans sold at $685.; Alabama 81,
and Mississippi So per bushel.
1t is generally conceded that
southern soil and climate are espe-
cially adapted to the (soy bean. 1t
is easy of cultivation, and can be
made highly profitable crop. The
general average yield should be
brought to 25 or 80 bushels per acre.
In many instances, the yield per
acre can be brought up to 40 bushels
per acre.
There are many varieties of the
sc s-some adapted to forage and
hay production; others as producers
of food for man. I would transcend
my self fixed limit, as to time and
space, if L were to yield to the sug-
gestion to tell something about the
soys adapted to the ta' lie.
