tors and the organization is intended
to keep up the interest of the farmers
in what the county agent is doing"
At another point in the hearings,
Chairman McFadden said:
eve have all known the Grange as
long as we have lived. But your or
ganization (the Farm Bureau feder-
ation) and the size to which it has
grown has been due entirely to the
fact that the Smith-Lever appropria-
tion provided for this organization of
county agents, around which was
built up the county Farm Bureaus or
the clubs, and then someone inter-
ested in active organization saw the
possibilities of federating them, and
that was DONE"
Congressman Otis Wingo of Arkan-
sas developed another side of this
same situation when he said during
the hearings:
The National leader., 1922-02-06
Bureau Federation Heads Violate Law

"The natural sequence will be that,
where the federal government gets be-
hind any county organization, it is go
ing to destroy the influence and
numerical strength of all other farm
organizations, and those who feel that
they have been crowded out are not
going to feel very cordial"
Congressman James E. Strong Of
Kansas, using information furnished
him by the Farmers union and other
genuine farmer sources of that state,
brought out how the Farm Bureau
federations, in spite Of other strong
organizations, through which county
agents could have worked, insisted
upon organizing their own fedora
tions. Summing up, in an examina-
tion Of DR.. True, he said:
"Yet they went in there and organ
lied the Farm Bureaus and the county
agents work through the Farm Bu-
reaus, rather than the other farm or
ganizations. * * Il Why could they
not have worked just as we'll through
the Farmers unions or the Grange as
war necessity, as they could through
a new association
DR.. True obstinately declared that
the existing farm organizations were
not "broad" enough and that there
had to be these new, rival organiza-
tions, formed by the county agents, if
wartime food production was to be
stimulated. Driving home his point,
Congressman Strong said:
81 am bringing out this line of
questions because have had farmers
protest to me against the government,
against congress making appropria-
tions through it's departments to build
up new farmers organization in op-
position to the one they themselves
have built up, and I just wondered if
there was any place where you did
cooperate with existing organiza-
tions."
DR.. True said there were few such
cases of cooperation, but admitted
that they were scarce. s.Z
Another important factor in the
paternalistic source, and hence the
vast power of the Farm Bureau feder-
alton, is the fact that the Farm Bu-:
reau federation has drawn most Of it's
prominent, active workers directly
from among county agents or extern
sion departments This was admitted
by DR.. True. It is notably the case

WIEDFELDT'S RICHES PLAY
PART IN CHOICE AS ENVOY

WASHINGTON. March iS.-Although no

officials in the Krupps organization, mas
been submitted by the German Govern
ment to the United States to determine
his acceptbility as Ambassador from

Press reports from Berlin for some
time had indicated that Wiedfeldt would
be the choice Of the German Govern
ment
Great difficulty has been experienced
in obtaining a man Of sufficient pri-
vate means to represent Berlin in Amer
ca. 1t is estimated that the expense
of maintaining a suitable embassy In
Washington would amount to approxi-
mately 100,000,000 marks a year, with
the present unfavorable rate of exchange
against Germany and the problem OF
finding a man who could pay large
share of that cost from his own wealth
has delayed selection of an Ambassador.
DR.. Wiedfeldt has been managing di-
rector of the Krupp works at Essen.

patch last night from London said he
had resigned the directorate. He is one

day.
Refusal OF state Department officials
to comment on the request for considera-
ton OF DR.. Wiedfeldt was explained as
due TO the fact that such a request prop
erly was a matter for the consideration
of President Harding.
BERLIN, March 1S.-The Clerical organ
Gernanid, which is close to the Govern
ment, says that the appointment of DIR.

him TO accept the Washington post. Die

comes the forthcoming appointment as
the initial step in a process which will
eventually result in the filling of i'm
portant political diplomatic posts witt

It is generally believed in Parlia-

After reviewing the history of naval

This treaty" he said appears to
me to reduce international relationship
to minimum terms. l cannot conceive
of anything simpler than an agreement
such as this which binds nations to re-
spect each others rights to meet and
discuss them if any difficulties arise.
1t is not an alliance for war. but for
peace. 1t Is an essential step toward
the adoption of the other treaties which
would assure world peace. If not
adopted and ratified. there will be no

PLENTY OF WHEAT
FOR ALL NATIONS
Surplus of 1900, 900 Tons in
Exporting Countries From
Years Crops.

RoME, March is (Associated Press)
After setting aside the quantities OF
wheat required for home consumption
until the next harvest. the wheat ex-
porting countries will have an export
able surplus of 11.s0,000 metric tons,
says statement concerning the worlds
wheat supply just issued by the Inter-
national Institute of Agriculture.
1t Is impossible to form an accurate
estimate of the quantities the import
ing countries will require before the
end OF July, when their next wneau crop
will be gathered adds the stat,rnent.
but 1t is ascertained that the aggre-
gate wheat crops in the importing coun-
tries which are furnishing data 10 the
institute will De considerably larger
than last year. being 27,700,000 metric
tons, as compared with 2l,S00,009 met
ric tons last year.
Imports OF all the importing countries
together between August and December
1921, were larger than the previous year
and. supposing the shipments between
January and July of 1922 reach the
same figure (despite the increased
yields and additional quantities i'm
ported during the last five months). the
totals, according to the institute, will
still be within the limits of the export
able surplus II is even probable that
an exportable surplus will still exist

The aggregate showing of wheat dur
Ing this winter extended TO 107,000.000
acres, or 1.3 per cent. more than last
year. Rye sowings reached 20,000.00C
acres, or more than IL per cent. greater
than last season.
A reduction in the areas under wheat
occurred in Europe, and there was also
slight reduction in the wheat area
in the United States, but this Is neutral

The appointment of Viscount Peel as
Secretary of State for India has had a
quieting effect on the British political
turmoil by adjusting temporarily. at
least, the India controversy. But the
leaders, as well as the rank and file of
all parties, and perhaps most of all the
friends of the Prime Minister. are anx-
iously awaiting word from Criccieth in
Wales, where Mr.. Lloyd George is rest

selection of a peer for the Indian post
election would have resulted If a mem

IS somewhat strengthened by the fact
that both Arthur Balfour and Andrew

most likely to take his place If he does
retire, are also away, in the south OF
France.
The Prime Minister'S friends say that
he has come to no decision. However,
the fact that he is arranging to go to
