HUGO SHINES WILL
PROBABLY VISIT u. S.
German Financicr Seeking Rcsump-
ton Of Trade With So
Wet Russia.

Berlin, Dec. S1.-Hugo SHINES,
Germany's foremost financier and in
dustrial leader, plans to visit the
United States in the near future for
the purpose OF comforting with AM
erican bankers regarding his plans
for resumption Of large-scale com
merce between Germany arc Soviet
Russia, according to persistent re-
rcrts circulated here.
The purpose of Shines recent visit
to London has never been definitely
learned, altho 1t was generally under
stood he discussed a proposed loan
to Germany and his own plans for
trade with Russia. II is extremely
difficult TO ascertain any facts in con-
nection with the financier's plans, as
he is very secretive and only confides
in his most intimate business as
sociates, who are pledged to utmost
secrecy.
Russians adhering to the anti
Bolshevist factions have warned Ger
man political leaders that they would
repudiate any negotiations instituted
with the Soviet authorities, but these
threats have not deferred SHINES,
who goes right ahead with his own
scenes for rehabilitation of German
trade in every possible quarter of the
world.
Reports persist that an Anglo-Ger-
man trade arrangement with the Mos
COW government It's in the offering, but
no confirmation of these rumors was
obtainable in political quarters, which
refer all inquiries to the industrial
leaders.
From sources close to SHINES the
impression was gained he was mark
ing time. while negotiating the best
possible terms for loan to Germany

and was working to rejuvenate Ger

FARM DEPARTMENT.

tistics In the world. Reports come TO
the dspartment from every town, and
there is not a county in the country
that does not have its reporter. A
trained statistician or field agent is
nlaced in every state or group of sim
liar states to supervise the work in
The territory under his charge. Local
reporters send their observations to
him.
Reports are made for about 60
crops, and they cover the acreage,
condition, yield, total production,
stock on farms, progress of farm
work, wages and suggly of farm Ia
Dor. These reports are kept sealed
until the meeting of the board, and
they are opened behind the locked
doors. With all the information be-
fore him each member makes his in
dividual estimate. The chairman lists
these in parallel columns and reads
them, after which they are discussed
and a single adjusted report adopted.
As a general rule the individual es-
Inmates are very near the same. Ex-

in order for each state and get the to-

means that she could talk continuous

WORK UNDER LOCKED
AND GUARDED DOORS

1t seems strange that any govern
ment officials should have to work in
rooms where all doors are locked, all
telephones disconnected and armed
guards pace before the doris; but that
happens once a month in the depart
ment of agriculture at Washington
This little group Of men, consisting
usually of about half a dozen, who
are cut off from the world one day a
month from the crop reporting board,
At 2:15 sharp the doors are opened
and the report given to the represen-
tatives of the press who are waiting
for it, and a moment later the news is
flying to every part of the country.
To get that news a little in advance
would be worth thousands of dollars
10 some men. To try 10 give ii out
ahead of time is punishable by fine
of $4,000 or imprisonment for 10
years or both. Only once was il at

Shortly before the time to issue the
report the secretary of agriculture is
admitted into the room to approve it,,
after reviewing the work of the
board. 1t is he who sets the time for
the release. An hour later the man
uscript goes over to the government
printing office for publication in the
Monthly Crop Reporter.

Farmers Advised To Plow Less And
Grow More Grass.

Grow More Grass.
Lexington, KY, Jan. 2.-Much of
the soil in the 100000 acres that
are being plowed each year in the
State to produce cultivated crops is
too poor to produce paying yields,
members of the soils and crops de-
partment of the College of Agricul-
ture have declared in their recon-
mendations to farmers of the State.
They have suggested that farmers re-
duce the acreage of cultivated crops
about one-third and increase the
acreage of grasses and legumes a
corresponding amount during the
coming year as means of icreas-
ed profits.
OF the 5000, 600 acres being plow-
ed each year, 100000 acres are util-
lied for cereals, corn being the prin-
cipal one with an acreage of $780,
600 acres. On the other hand, only
about 100000 acres of hay and for
age crops are being grown each year,
the specialists declare.

work was begun two years ago as q
result of observations made by Lord
Northcliffe during visit to the United
States in 1919. The English enroll
ment is Insignificant when compared

Before attending the Royal Agricul-

reted for the gold cup, the American
boys visited Edinburgh, parts Of Scot
land famous for Shorthorn cattle and
Clydesdale horses, number of Eng
hsh stock farms, and a typical coun-
ty fair at Doncaster. At the royal
show they attended one Of the an
nual auction sales that drew buyers
from Denmark, France, Spain, and
even from the Far East. Following
the show the party took a flying trip
to the French battlef1elds, reaching
Paris in time to witness the celebra-

Of the United States Department Of

''Our boys impressed the English
breeders with their thorough knowl-
edge and ready appraisement Of the
animals shown them,' said Mr.. Cham
bers. ''They were keenly alert to
the opportunities that came to them
to study the results Of generations OF
painstaking work by English live
stock breeders. The contest gave them
an opportunity to demonstrate to old
England the, benefits resulting from
the inspiration and training that
half million American farm boys and
girls receive every year under the
guidance Of the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture and the state
