Legislature cannot cure all the
ills that agriculture is suffering
from. A large portion of it must be
done by the farmers themselves, In
fact, all of it because the legislation
necessary will only be secured when
the farmers make their representa-

they need and keep after them un-
til they get it.
Farmers can do much to improve
their condition by diversifying their
crops, at least to the extent OF that

There are numerous other things

Tennessee where those products
cannot be produced cheaper than

WASHINGTON, June 25.-Indiea-

ment is preparing 10 make an *
traordinary effort, az result Of the
Illinois massacre Of non-union miners,
10 bring operators and labor chiefs to-
gether In an attempt 90 settle the min

II Is understood az the request Of Sec.
retary Of Labor Davis, and will con

u. Ogle. president Of the National Coal
Association, is on his way 10 Wash.

ment of Labor tomorrow.
Although Official confirmation Is
lacking. IL was said to-day that the
labor secretary, acting for President
Harding. ia prepared 20 lay a definite
proposal before the leading figures IN
the situation, which VII at least have
the object OF bringing them into con-
ference for discussion Of settle
mont OF the strike. The course upon
which the government Is about 20 move,
it was said, would call for general sep.
arate gatherings here % labor heads
and mine owners should the prelimi-
nary meeting tomorrow be success
full These second, larger meetings OF
the two groups would only be asked,
under the present plan, 20 consider the

not discuss to-morrow's conference
however. except 20 say he believes thu
miners would fayorably receive an,
Federal move toward settlement.
There is every moral and economic
reason why adjustment Of the strik'
should be effected az an early date,
said Mr.. Lewis. THE interests Of th'
country and its citizenship dictate such
course. The public is nov beins
