PARIS SEES NEW . CONCESSIONS MADE
Thinks France Has Again Given in tO Allies
By The As.o.iatsd Press.

By The Associated Press.
 Paris. Nov. 24.-lt is felt in off
 cial circles here that France made another important concession to the allies and to Germany in the con-
 tract signed yesterday with the ] Stinnes group of Ruhr industrialists. l In this contract it is stipulated that all deliveries in kind shall be cred ted to Germany on reparation ac- count. while the taxes collected by , the occupying countries shall be paid
 into what is called productive 1 pledge fund"
 i From this fund the occupying au- thorities would pay the cost of the occupation, subject to the rights of tho rCparstion commission. This is understood 10 mean that France and
 Belgium will he unable to use the re- ccipts from taxes even to pay the cost of maintaining their forces in the
 Euhr unless permission to do so is given by the reparation commission. The importance of this concession is reflected in the prudence with which the accord with the industrial ists is commented upon in the French press. Opinion in reparation circles is that Premier Poincsre has begun to recognize the necessity Of yielding on some points in order to prepare the way for final repara- ton settlement. and that his success in bringing the chamber of deputies 10 approve the concession made to Great Britain in drafting the recent note to Germany on military control gives him greater latitude in dealing with the question.

Gist Says Farmers Greatly
Benefited by Cold Weather

MONTGOMERY, Ala, Feb. 22.--
Continued cold for short period
each winter would be beneficial to
Alabama's crops, is the opinion Of
F. W. Gist, state agricultural statis-
tician
Despite the fact that it seems to
be the fad to make a big 'bug-a-
lear out of every cold snap that
we have, 1 am of the opinion that
1T is an aid to the farmers instead
of a harm" Mr.. Gist declared.
Taking the territory from the
gulf counties up through the state,
there has probably not been enough
cold to injure the Satsuma crop, and
with nothing else except cabbage
growing, the damage was very slight.
THE strawberry section at Castle
berry was probably affected to the
extent that setting of fruit was
stopped. while the cold weather may
have interfered with the output,

which should now be at its peak,
Mr.. Gist said.
Oats were not injured to any ex-
tent, and nothing else is now grow
ing in the state that could have been
harmed, with the possible exception
of garden products in a few small
areas. the statistician pointed out.
THE effect of the weather on the
boil weevl was probably beneficial
in destroying some of the weevils IN
the north Alabama counties, although
those in the southern part were not
harmed"
Mr.. Gist pointed out that due to the
fact the weevil hibernated during the
winter, it would not be killed unless
exposed to severe cold.
"A great many other insects, how
ever, We're probably destroyed, CHIEF
among them being the turnip louise
which has proved very destructive
for the past few seasons" Mr.. Gist
said, "the insect being without the
protection of a she'll probably was
affected greatly"
