THE GENOA CONFERENCE

Several weeks ago it was proposed Tin
Europe) that an international conference
should be held in Genoa, Italy, and prep
srations have been made there for &C
commodating 1000 delegates and 100
newspaper men. All hotels in that city
have been requisitioned, and the Royal
Palace has been prepared for the confer
ence sittings 1t appears that the pro-
moments of the conference assumed that
Ahe United States would send delegates,
bot when it bee anne known that Germany
and the Bolshevists of Russia had been
invited to send delegates and that it had
been planned to establish wireless COM
munication between Genoa, Berlin and
Moscow, the people of the United States,
already suspicious, became gun shy. Even
now, after weeks of delay, they are I'M
certain as to what the conference will
consider. They infer from the dispatches
which come from various European
sources and from the propaganda in this
country, that the recognition of soviet
4XONcIumCut III AAuoSio3 ShS 49,
qnf Allied debts, reduction of the Ger
man reparations and the opening OF
American markets to free and unre-
stricted trade to all Europe are to be dis
cussed, each in turn.
All Europe needs the pacification OF
r ussia, its resources and its trade. In a
lesser degree the United States would be
bene fitted Herewith. But the soviet gov-
eminent is rabidly insane and has terror
ICED the masses of the Russian people. 1t
is thief and murderer. 1t refuses to
gay its honest debts. 1t is a menace to
good government in all Europe and its
age ncies are fomenting sedition in this
country. Instead of being recognized by
9th er nations as being safe and sane it
should be put in strait-iacket. But the
European nations are its keepers and the
United States is not director in any of
the European institutions The reduction
of German reparations is their business,
not ours. 1t is not necessary for US to
send delegates to Genoa to make known
the fact that we want the European ma
tions to refund their debts to us into
negotiable bonds. We are not going to
open our markets to free trade and nail
boards over the windows of our factories.
If these are the matters to be discussed
at Genoa, the seats reserved for delegates
from the United States will be vacant.

A western newspaper says there are on
the Rhine IA 900 soldiers and 500 officers,
and says that it is costing American tax
payers one million dollars year to keep
them there and that there is no reason
why they should be kept there. The
facts are that there are 2,2l7 men and
1863 officers there. This entire force
consists of the 9Th U. S. Infantry,
which is a part of our regular army,
and would be retained in the service,
paid, clothed and fed if they were re-
turned to the United States. The cost
of their maintenance while in Germany
is paid by the Germans. When this small
American force is withdrawn its place
will be taken by French troops and 1t is
said that the Germans prefer to have the
Americans who have been more consid-
ate in their treatment of civilians than
troops of other nations have been.

The National Industrial Conference
Board says that at the peak of war prices
the cost for food was little more than
twice the cost in 1914, and that at the
present time the cost is about half way
between the cost in 1914 and the peak.
The cost of clothing is considerably low
er, but the percentage is not given. Coal,
instead of falling in price seems to have
gone cover the top"

MUSCLE SHOALS

The Muscle Shoals dam and nitrate
plants have been under much discussion
of late and so much selfish propaganda
and misinformation concerning them has
been current that most people have
given up all hope of being able to get at
the facts. The Muscle Shoals enterprise
,vas undertaken by the government for
q the purpos. of making nitrates and was
; war measure and begun early IN 1913
Work was stopped Immediately after the
armistice was signed. At that time the
government had expended more than one
hundred million dollars and had nothing
To show for the expenditure except one
sntirely worthless nitrate plant, one nj

ASHLAND SEED WHEAT
FOR KY. FARM Use:
(By Associated 7~ess)

Lexington, KY, July Zap
proximately 2O,100 bushels OF
seed wheat from the Ashland
strain new pedigreed and high
yielding one developed at the
Kentucky Agricultural Expert
ment Station, will be produced
in Kentucky this year, according
to. Ralph Kenney, crops extern
sion. specialist of the College Of
Agriculture.
An inspection of GO fields OF
Ashland scattered throughout ali
parts of the state and comprising
total of 1000 acres has just
been completed by the college
agronomy department in order to
determine if grain from them
will be suitable for seed purpos-
es. Approximately 100 other
fields of wheat from this strain
are being grown in the state btu
were not inspected by Mr.. Ken
ney.
Crops from IS of the inspected
fields will be suitable for seed.
Noxious weeds and mixtures Of
wheat and rye were the chief
things looked for in the inspec-
ton.
As an average for seven wears,
Ashland has produced 2.3' bflsh
els OF grain more an acre on the
Kentucky station farm than any
other variety of soft wheat COM
monty grown in the state.
Following the good results
that have. been obtained with the
new strain, a heavy demand is
being made for seed from it,
many formers having been I'M
able to get any last fall at seed
ing time, Mr.. Kenney continued.
The amount that will be avail
able this year is extremely small
in view of the fact that the state
annually uses about $4,000 bush
els Of seed wheat, he added The
supply in many counties where
the wheat was grown this year
will be Insufficient to meet local
demands.
A list of growers having Ash
land that is suitable for seed is
being prepared and will be plac-
ed in the hands of all. county ag-
ricultural agents in the state and
in order to help farmers who de
sire to obtain this seed this fall.
Copies are also available on re
quest from the station at Lex
ington.
