EUROPEAN FARMS
BACK TO NORMAL
Land Well Titled In Germany and
Devastated Portions of France
High Prices for Cattle.

WASHINGTON. July 20-Agriculture
in western Europe is being rapidly re
established ON a normal basis accord
ing to Nat G. Murray. crop statistician
Of the department OF agriculture who
has Just returned from an investiga-
tion of European crop conditions
Farm lands in Germany are well
titled and the farm houses are well
kept" said Mr.. Murray today. In the
devastated parts of northern France
the land has been brought back to nor
NAL state of cultivation.
THE American farmer visiting west
ern Europe is impressed by the small
size but high state OF cultivation of
fields, the large proportion of hand labor
as contrasted with machine labor on
American farms, the large use of women
as laborers in the fields. and the use
of oxen instead of horses as work ami
mails. Two wheeled carts instead of
four wheeled wagons are universally
used and few automobiles are seen in
the farming districts.
Mr. Murray said he was impressed in
England by the high prices at which 100
pure-bred Fresian cattle from South
Africa sold at an auction sale. The
AVERAGE price for the lot was $1,000 a
head one cow bringing $4,000 and a
bull calf born the day before the sale
selling for more than 500

result OF a scarcity in any product is a
hlgher price to the consumer. The strike
mas brought about the scarcity. Miners
ana operators will each profit by the sit
uatlon IN the end and the public will pay
the bill. Officials freely admit this
though they have already endeavored to
regulate the price of coal. What the sit
uatlon Will be next winter however. is
another question and there is no way bv
which the government can keep the price
of coal down if the natural laws of sun
ply and demand are permitted to oper-
ate.
Labor Distrusts Harding.
Efforts to locate the responsibility for
the continuance of the strike are bound
to be made when congress gets into ac-
ton. Senator. BOrah, Samuel Gompers
ana John l.. Lewis are putting their
heads together. The labor viewpoint is
that Mr.. Harding has fallen a victim for
the strategy of certain operators and il
ne mad insisted upon getting all the rep
fesentatlye operators of the union dis
trIctS to Washington instead of what is
termed a 'handpic1ed group" chosen by
A.. VI. Ogle, president of the National
Coal association, the deadlock would not
have occurred
Among the operators on the other hand
one hearS the charge that labor politics
i at the bottom of the trouble and that
John Il. Lewis, president of the miners
depends for votes on keeping the wages
the same. IN the central competitive field
irrespective of economic conditions which
the operators say demands the opposite
OF uniformity. Until Lewis's hold on the
union Is broken or until the operators
show signs of breaking up the early end
OF the strike may be said to be doubtful.
1wo days ago it looked as if new con
ference might be called by President
Harding. He is following out. however
the plan of using troops as the operators
request. When that alternative is ex
hausted, conference of the disputants is
inevitable
