ket The loss on export wheat could
be easily absorbed by the increase In
the price in this country, he SAID.
The bill would permit the President
to put an embargo on agricultural
imports and to adjust the tariff, so
that the level of farm products
prices in the United States would
remain the same US that of manu-
featured goods, he said.
Objections to the Norris-Slnclair
bill now pending in Congress are that
it puts the government directly into
the business of buying and selling,
could not affect the price of wheat
or other commodities and could Of
fer no substantial remedy for the
disparity in price levels. The McNary-
HRugcn bill, which he said is favored
by Secretary Wallace, would by adj
herencc to the principles of protec-
ton bring justice to the farmer, Nh
Davis asserted.
The farming sections which have
been hit hardest are the grain rails
ing sections, such as North Dakota
Montana, South Dakota and other
Northwest states; he said. Diversifi-
cation cannot be spread over night
he said While there is a great in
crease in ivcrsification, he assert
cd that emergency remedies must be
based on price adjustment.

COOLIDGE FOR
COULTER PLAN
President Gives Unqualified
Endorsement of Bill

Washington, Jan. 22.-President
Coolidge gave his unqualified en-
dorsemcnt today to the Burtncss-
Norbcck bill for government loans
to Northwestern farmers for pur-
chase Of livestock.
The President announced his en-
dorsement of the measure after a
conference with members Of the
house agricultural committee to
whom he offered his assistance in
bringing about this enactment. The
bill is based on plan worked out
by DR.. John Lee Coulter and r. E.
Murphy, publisher of the Minneapolis
Tribune, both of whom held several
conferences with Mr.. Coolidge last
fall.
Mr.. Coolidge regards the measure
rs directly in line with his recon-
mendation in his message to Congress
that such loans as are needed to as
sist buying stock and other materials
should be financed through gov
eminent agency as temporary and
emergency expedient. Safeguards
should be thrown about these loans,
Mr.. Coolidge believes, so that farm,
ers taking advantage of them could
not be foreclosed by other creditors

That State and Nebraska Held
Chief Concern of Federal
Financiers
NORTH DAKOTA LEFTOUT

Chicago, Jan. % -(By the A. =.
Representative of the financial
powers of the government named by
President Coolidge went at their task
today after conferences lasting until
midnight last night in efforts to find
a prompt and effectual means for
bolstering up the credit of the
Northwest.
Banking representatives from Chi
cago and several states, including
the Dakotas and Minnesota, met with
federal officials, Henry Dawes, comp
tloller Of the currency; Eugene May
er, Jr., director of the War Finance
Corporation, j. H. Cunningham and
George r james, members of the
federal reserve board.
Although Comptroller Dawes, in
charge of the conferences has APP
piled himself to the banking problems
OF the Northwest since he and his
party arrived yesterday afternoon
and kept the conferences continuing
until midnight he had withheld any
public statement as to how it was
planned to relieve conditions in
South Oak ota, where half dozen
banks have closed since January l.,
and in Montana, where a similar sit
uation prevails, and in Minnesota
and Nebraska
With the Northwest clamoring for
Immediate aid, especially outside of
federal assistance, Mr.. Dawes and
his conferees, back at the conference
room at 10 o'clock to resume their
work, left off at midnight.
1t is understood the officials will
visit South Dakota. Nebraska and
other middle western states of the
, wheat belt to investigate depression
conditions. They will report on the
ACCESSIBILITY of emergency action by
the government to help western banks
until they are able to realize on as
sets classed as frozen" because of
inability of farmers to. discharge
their indebtedness.

Montana officials, farmers and

c. Davis of Helena, Montana, said
while in Bismarck on his way to.
Washington to confer with President
Coolidge and Secretary Of Agricul-
ture Wallace Mr.. Davis discussed
agricultural conditions with officials
and citizens here.
Montana is backing the McNary-

bring about this equalization, Mr..
Davis said. The Montana State

citation are united on this program

continuing their efforts through the
Agricultural Export League, recently
formed, which he will represent in
Washington.
| Using the average price of COM
moditics prior to the war as nor
nal basis, Il comparison of commo-
dity prices for the last three years
shows that wheat, hogs and other
agricultural and livestock products
are proportionatcly lower in price
than other commodities, be said. If
wheat were being sold on level with
prices Of other commodities it would
command so cents :. bushel more
than it now does, he said. The pur-
pose Of the McNary-Haugen bill, he
said, is to either lower the other
commodity prices or to raise the
wheat price to their level
The proposal on which Montana is
united he said, is that an agricul-
tural export corporation be formed
by the government, that it purchase
the cXportable surplus, sell it and
then allow the wheat sold at higher
domestic price to absorb the loss
What is asked Of Congress, he said
is machinery that Will put into op
Grafton the principles of tariff ant

CORN RAISING
FITS IN n. D.
ROTATION PLAN
Commissioner Of Agriculture
and Labor Sees Corn
Growing on Increase
PROSPERITY CRITERION
BY JOSEPH 4. KITCHEN,
Commissioner of Agriculture and
Labor.

Corn is the only cereal the New
World gave TO the old Corn had
grown in America from untraced
time and its culture in America
antedates the romance Of the world
greatest adventurcr and discoverer-
Columbus-for probable past ages.
In the area designated in geograph-
les as North Dakota, nomadic tribes
grew this plant as a useful food Tor
man and quadruped.
The United States is the greatest
corn producing country. The aver
age yield in the United States FOR
1928 has been estimated by the fed
cral Department of Agriculture as
23.2 bushels per acre. The number
OF bushels produced in the United
States last year was estimated at
1880, 900 bushels. These figures
are almost beyond the human mind
amount, The eye. OF Amer. AGrl-
culture figured, u years crop Of L.
S. corn if placed on wagons, 80 bush
els to a load, and allowing 20 feet
per wagon, that such an arrangement
would reach around the world NINE
times.
At present corn fits in the North
Dakota plan for crop rotation just
about 100 percent. While many
thousands of acres of another cul-
tivatcd crop, potatoes, are annually
raised, the potato acreage will never
he sufficient for crop rotation plan
calling, for Il cultivated crop; and
certainly no other crop in rotation
will afford sufficient cultivabl,
land. Also, the promising yields of
corn from year to year in North
Dakota is an inspiration to all actual
farmers who know Il cultivated crop
is essential to North Dakota farming
success. Besides it provided worl
for help and horses during the sum,
mer between seasons when other Ger
calls are planted and reaped. Corr
is not a cash but generally feed
crop. Fields Of corn denote stocl
and hogs and cheese factories anc
crcameries. The percentage of corr
to other crops may safely be takel
as criterion of the prosperity of ;
North Dakota farmer-anyway it soor
will be. Cornfields give US an indie!
of the farmer-ra clean field spe ak
for careful farmer; weedy corn
field is the earmark of farming de
cadence
From 1918 when the state had 361
T62 acres in corn to 1922 with 776,
1856 acres, each year has seen a re
markable increase in corn acreage
the 1924 acreage will exceed 1000
COO acres. For the same period o
time, the acreagcs of clover and al
falfa increased from $4,000 to 1856
Sl3 acres; the pounds of butterfa
marketed through cream station onl,
from 7,315,859 pounds in 1918 to 49,
S17,O26, in 1913. Give the farmer
of North Dakota fair price TO
their products in comparison to man
ufactured articles, freight rates, la
Dor, etc, and the state will emerg,
phoenix-like, and prosperity wi
reign. We are engaging in these d
verse farm operations fast and SAT
enough if the goemetric progressio
OF acreages and milk productio
continues.

not previously indorsed the Commits

was that of the board of directors, to
which George Brown replied that the
action of the board of directors was
the action of the chamber He said
that Washington did not want and
should not have military govern
ment, which would be the case should
Army officers be appointed, and took
occasion to condemn statements that
had been broadcast that there was
more crime and drunkenness here
than anywhere else.

M. A. Leese, speaking in favor of
the amendment Of Mr.. Darr. said that
two better commissioners could not
be found than Messrs, Rudolph and

Mr.. Zeiler sought to have both the
original resolution and the amend
ment separated into two resolutions.
saying that those who were in favor
OF the original might not be in favor
OF the amendment. James T. Lloyd,
first vice president, who was presid-
ing in the absence of President Isaac
Cans. sought to separate the resolu-
ton and the amendment into two
resolutions, but Mr.. Darr said this
could not be done, as a vote on the
amendment would be "a vote on the
resolution. After some further argu-
ment between the chair and Mr.. Darr,
the resolution and amendment were
not separated.
Chaplin Brown also objected to di-
viding the resolution and amendment,
pointing out that the two incumbentS
were good Commissioners, and added
that there was bound to be some op-
position among 100000 peop.e. He
lauded them in the highest terms.
pointing out that both had made
great monetary sacrifices in order to
accept the appointments.
Zeiler asked Mr.. Brown, If the Com
were appointed again, If he
would urge another, term at the end
of the next three years, to which
the latter replied that he would con-
tinue to indorse them as long as they
performed their duties faithfully.
