farm products are directly the result
of the operation of the corporation in
the opinion of some officials OF the
government. Throughout most of
1921, farmers, unable to obtain suffi-
cient credit, were forced to dispose of
their crops at prices which were low
er than the cost of production, the Of
fetal reports indicate. Last falk
prices Of farm products began to rise.
The general level is now approx
mately per cent above the level of
nine months ago. Cotton prices es-
pecially show strong advance. A
year ago, the average price for cot
ton at the plantation gate was be-
tween 9 and 10 cents per pound.
Today. producers are receiving more
than 20 cents.
Approximately s22,000.000 was ad-
vanced to assist cotton producers by

Simple Cure for Slipping Fan Belt

One ingenious motomst who was

the trouble by applying a little belt
compound to the pulley surfaces. Belt
compound. by the way, is a some
what sticky substance that is used in
machine shops. power plants and fac
tories to insure the gripping of the
pulley by the belt with sufficient force
to transmit the power without slip
ping. Just trifling amount of COM
pound is enough for fan belt. Oft
en- it may be obtained from a garage
machine shop, but if not there. it will
be found almost anywhere that belts
are used. Such small amount is re-
quired that it is not worth while to
buy a can Of it.-Scientific American.

Washington

Construction work on fourteen cap
ital ships was suspended recently by
order OF Secretary DENLY under direc-
ton Of President Harding. The step
was taken in anticipation of ratifica-
ton of the naval limitation treaty
winch resulted from the Washington
conference and under which only three
of the vessels involved will be COM
pleted as war craft.
A bill appropriating $4,000 for es-
tablishment by the department of agri-
culture Of an experiment station to de-
velop pecan nut culture was introduc.
ed by Senator Harris, democrat, Geor-
gia.
A legislative program, contemplate
ing ratification of the treaties grow
ing out of the arms conference and
passage of the tariff soldiers bonus,
farm credit and merchant marine
bills, with adjournment OF congress
about June l, was said to have been
agreed upon at a white house dinner
recently.
The house cooperative marketing
bill, a measure designed to aid the
agricultural interests and pressed by
the farm bloc passed the senate there
being recorded only one vote against
the measure-that of Senator Gerry OF
Rhode Island. who is a Democrat.
Funds to pay the soldier bonus will
be raised by direct taxation, imposing
burden of at least $400Q00,OOO a
year for three years. The house WAYS
and means committee has reached this
conclusion, and is now seeking the
taxes that can best be utilized. In
cluded in the general scheme Is the
raising of first class postage from 2
cents to cents
Means of lending the aid of the gov.
ernment's credit to the railroads of
the country are under consideration in
administration circles.
The bill creating a commission and
otherwise making provision for the
conversion of the eleven billion dollar
debt owed the United States by the
allied powers has been signed by the
president
The field of possible soldiers bonus
taxes has been virtually narrowed to
eight sources by the Republican mem.
bers of the house ways and means
committee.
The first effect of the armament
conference on the employment situa.
ton was felt when several thousand
mechanics and artificers in navy
yards were temporarily laid off, after
Secretary DENLY had ordered suspend.
cd all ordnance work designed for ma
val vessels slated for "scrapping" un.
der the naval limitation treaty. The
instructions were issued in line with
President Harding's order suspending
work on the vessels under construc.
ton effected by the treaty. Probably
eleven thousand employees will be eff
fected by the order.

Price Of Farm Products Decrease.

The farmers products are bringing
still lower prices than last year-the
peak OF the wave of business deprss-
sion-and that principal items neces-
sary to agriculture have not declined
in proportion, is disclosed in the Jan.
vary price report of Frank Parker,
Agricultural statistician Of the Co
operative Crop Reporting service.
Mr.. Parker's statement shows that
while there is talk and signs Of bet
ter business and returning prosperity,
the farmers boat is being badly bat
tered on the rocks Of financial stress
because OF the most precipitate and
demoralizing plunge taken by prices
OF involved agricultural products.
Other commodities have come down.
but the farmers products hit the bot
tom the hardest-and are still sticking
there, with few exceptions.
