two grain experts issued conflicting state

another report stated that the outlook was

Preparations Must
Be Settled Before
Mark Becomes Stable

| Berlin. Nov. 14-(By A. P.)-The
German note to the Preparations
commission. made public here today
contends that final Sterilization OF
the mark can only be possible liter
the Preparations question has oeen
definitely settled in accordance With
Germany's capacity to pay.
Since Germany cannot await such
| final settlement, she proposes /,
provisional one, but. even to achieve
this, foreign assistance must be
forthcoming. The Reichsbank is de-
clared to be in readiness to place
500, 100000 gold marks at the dispos
al of the government for the pur-
pose of stalibization.
The project. il is set forth, depends
upon the following conditions:
First. Germany must be freed
for three or four years from all pay
ments in cash or in kind under the
treaty of Versailles. although she
will continue to make deliveries iii
kind for the devastated areas so far
as these do not entail any increas,
in her floating debt.
Second. Germany considers she
should receive a minimum of $500.
100000 gold marks from foreign
banks.
The foregoing conditions the
Reichsbank considers necessary
prior to giving the gold from its re-
serve. The money to be advanced
by the Reichsbank and by the for
eign banks. will be administered by
an independent board. When the
progress of Sterilization is sufficient
ly advanced the German tvern-
ment will issue an internal gold loan.

Lewiston, Nc. Nov. 14.-1t costs
s19244 to maintain a milking COW
for one year declared NJ. D. Jones of
the state farm extension service here
today at the State Dairymen's meet
ing which opened three day confer
cnce of agricultural interests.
At the morning session reports OF
officers were heard followed by the
annual address of President H. H.
Nash of Camden.
The cost of this milking cow said
Mr.. Jones was made up of the fol-
lowing items: 2125 pounds of grain.
$42S6; 2907 pounds Of hay, $30.59;
Also pounds Of silage, s14.64; 1882
pounds of other feeds. $4.52; pasture.
SlO15; total of $10276 for feed.
Labor was s3S73, and other items OF
cost covering interest. taxes, housing.
ice. hauling milk. etc, amounted to
s50.95. The amount of grain used
this year was larger than usual be-
cause of the short hay crop of 1921.
These records showed that in or
der to produce 100 pounds of milk it
required 1856 pounds of grain, 52.S
pounds Of hay. 1874 pounds of silage,
1871 pounds of other feed and 2.3S
hours of labor.
The question is often raised as to
what part Of the total cost the vari-
GUS items represent. In these II
herds grain constituted % percent of
the total cost, hay 16 percent, silage
S percent. other feeds and pasture Z
percent, labor 20 percent and other
costs 81 percent.
A study of these costs is of inter-
est because of the Importance Of the
dairy business to the agriculture of
the state. The success of the farm
ing business in great many sections
depends upon the success Of the dairy
tusiness and unless conditions are
such that dairying will pay. the
