The tremendous development of

growth of the telephone in the life Of

more rapid than the increase in popu-

GERMANY GIVING IN

1t is reported from Europe that the German government is
about ready to cave in and quit its resistance to Frances efforts
to collect just reparations for the damage done to her cities and
property. 1t was inevitable that the end to an intolerable situation
would come sometime. France realized that she had no other
recourse IN order to collect an account than to go into the Ruhr
and stay until Germany came across with real payments.
Germany has hoped that in some way she could avoid pay
ments. Great Britain's unwilingness to help France collect was
Germany's hope but at last it has been driven home to the Ger
mans that France is determined to stay in the Ruhr in spite of
Great Britans objections.
The German governments debt to its own people for money
borrowed during the war has been cancelled with worthless marks.
1t is as though our own government had r~epudiated all of it's
Liberty bonds. The time has come when Germany must have real
and Frances struggle hold on the industrial throat of the
country makes it apparent that the German people must either
pay France or starve.
France said that her occupancy of the industrial district of
Germany would be a test of endurance. The one who could hold
out the longer would win. Germany is showing signs of weaken
ing. Negotiations are on. All Germany has to do is to begin
paying. AS she pays France will recede. The German people will
have no war debt taxes to pay. They have robbed their own
people for that. They can begin to pay taxes to France to repair
the property they wantonly destroyed on French soil. Wher
Germany begins to pay its just debt of reparation to France
Europe will begin to right itself economically. 1t looks as though
the dawn might have come.

MONEY IN WHEAT

Why is wheat grown in the eastern and southern sections
of our country in competition with Minnesota, the Dakotas, Mon
tana and other wheat growing sections of the country?
The answer to this question is obvious the moment the facts
are set down on a map of the country. Wheat grown in South
Carolina brings the grower So cents per bushel more than the
grower IN South Dakota receives for his product.
In South Carolina not enough wheat is grown to supply local
demands. The grower in this situation gets the terminal wheat
market price plus cost of transportation from that point to his
local people. The South Dakota and the Montana grower gets
for his wheat the terminal market price less the cost of trans
portation.
The Virginia growers get SO cents per bushel more for their
wheat than the average Kansas grower receives. Ohio growers
have a ten cent margin over Illinois producers.
Intensive farming is showing some remarkable results in
wheat growing as it is in other directions. The Ohio Farmer, a
paper devoted to agriculture in that section of the country, re-
Gently described the process used last season by Charles Harms
who threshed out $40 bushels of wheat from a ten acre field. an
average yield of So bushels per acre. This reads like the old yield
IN the Gallat1n-yet it comes from a section never noted for high
wheat yields.
This result was achieved in a crop rotation program which
included wise and careful use of clover, manuring, potatoes and
cultivation.
For some years our agricultural college people have been
telling us that so far we have been doing little more than scratch
ing the surface of the agricultural possibilities of this country.
Results right here in Bozeman show that grain crops for the first
two years following clover or alfalfa show remarkable yields with
the output of grain the third year dropping down to about half
the yield OF the first two seasons. And yet many of our farmers
on irrigated land too, keep on cropping wheat, oats and barley
year after year.
A small acreage in wheat in South Carolina, if handled in a
manner to get the best results, will, even now, yield a handsome
profit. Dlverslfcation of crops will bring relief to wheat grow.
ing states where depression now prevails. In some of our north
western states seventy-five per cent of the cultivated area is
devoted to wheat growing. This is just a case of placing too MANY
eggs IN the same basket. Of course there are many farms that
can grow nothing but wheat, as for instance the drv land sections
OF the GaLlatin. But how come SO many irrigated farmers keer

TURN STATES-EVIDENCE

The Mine Workers of America at last have discovered that
murder and slaughter of human beings in labor controversy is a
crime that must be hung on to somebody else in order to protect
the miners union from becoming an outlaw in the minds of the
general public.
The published indictment of communists in their effort to
control the labor union contains the charge that "Eighty-six Lith-
uanian ~boshevsts led the Herrin massacre of non-union miners.
The mob leaders, sixty-seven of them, were members at Herrin of
erica"
This revolving, inexcusable crime was fomented, promoted
and caused solely by communists" says the writer of the miners
unions indictment. ct was a carefully planned affair, schemed
with all the diabolic cruelty and disregard for law that character
ICES the communist movement"
That is the language now used by an official document of
the United Mine Workers of America in describing the Herrin
massacre. It is an admission that the public press was right about
it and it is a repetition of the most severe censure that those out
side of the miners union have given to that horrible affair.
But when the state of Illinois attempted to bring the muir
derers to justice it was the miners union that furnished the
funds for the defense; it was union miners who terrorized the
community to such an extent that a jury dared not convict those
who had tortured and massacred their fellowmen.
While the crime at Herrin was breeding terror and fear every
where it was other union miners who drove about in mobs and
forced all Independent or nonunion mines to close under threats
1t is something for the United Mine Workers of America
sacre. In order to clear its organization of either completely OF
sympathy it should now conduct a vigorous prosecution on its
own account. If the United Mine Workers of America wants tc
rid its labor union of the boshevist element and regain the sym.
pathy of the public it should bring the Herrin murderers to justice
through the power of its own union. The miners union should
turn states-evidence.
