FARMERS HAVE GOOD FINANCIAL
OUTLOOK THIS YEAR.

OOOU uDauCIdl prospects IOf
farmers this year are seen by
the United States of Agriculture
which says in it's July report on
the agricultural situation that
given strengthening livestock
markets and fair feed crops,
plus fair returns from wheat and
cotton. farmers would come out
of 1925 better than they have in
most of the years since 1919"
Much can happen between now
and the harvest of fall crops, it
is pointed out. but taken as a
whole, the main crops promise
fairly we'll except in the case of
winter wheat. The present nice
balance in both livestock and
crop production is a tribute to
the readjustments made by Am
erican farmers since the fall of
1921"
The central fact in the present
outlook is that while production
will be ample to meet consump.
tion needs, agriculture will not
be in the market this fal! with
any large surplus of the major
products.
Wheat harvest is in full
swing" the report continues.
The grain ripened prematurely
over much of the western part
of the belt, and harvest is early.
Threshings so far have turned
out unsatisfactory yields. but
the grain is of fairly good quail.
ity. It appears evident that the
winter wheat crop is decidedly
short of last years crop: so
much so that the chief conjec.
ture throughout the wheat grow.
ing world is how the shrinkage
in this country will balance up
against better crops abroad. The
spring wheat region from Min.
nesota to Montana has high
hopes in spite of local floods in
the East and minor setbacks
elsewhere.
THE outlook in the Corn Belt
is apparently good. Hogs are
relatively high priced and may
go higher. The pig survey shows
decline of IL per cent in the
number of spring pigs compared
to last year. Corn prices are
not so high as to prohibit feed
ing, and everything points to a
profitable feeding season ahead.
1t is from conditions like this
year, when price rations furnish
stimulus to feeding, that the
Corn Belt can usually hope for
some degree of prosperity"
The departments price index
of 80 farm products is placed at
147 for June compared with 146
in May, the five year period
19O9-14 being used as a base of
100. Present. tendencies in the
general business situation point
to little change in prices of non
agricultural commodities, and
consequently no marked change
in the purchasing power of farm
products need be expected for
June. the farm purchasing power
figure for May having been 90.
the same as in April.

HYPN0lIZED' OR NOT?
Weird Story Told In Court That Professor is Under Spell of Indian and Aids in Propaganda.

New York, Feb. IA weird tale that Dr. Herschel c. Parker, former professor of physics at Columbia university, who proved that Dr. Frederick A. Cooke was a faker in his claims of having climbed Mount Mckinley, has been hypnotized by a Swami and used to further anti Brit ish propaganda in India, has been told in court here.
 The story was told at the hearing of the divorce action brought by Mrs. Evelyn Kegele Parker. She said that her husband had been missing since 1919 and that every effort to locate him had failed. Counsel for Mrs. Parker related the story. He said an unidentified woman informed him over the telephone that pr. Parker had been hypnotized by a Hindu named Swami Radedandan, who had taken him to India. Mrs. Parker said that her husband had inherited a collection. of antiques worth sS6,ooo. but that no trace of 1t was found.
 Mrs. Parker filed suit for separa- ton in 1919. At that time, accord ing to his lawyer, Dr. Parker was a broken man, living on the charity of friends.

SPECIAL TRAINING
Vocational Education Convention Listens To Various Views of Ex- perts In That Line.

By The Associated Press.
 Chicago, Feb. 12.-Specia train ing should be provided to aid those who are required by the constant change in industry to shift from one occupation to another, Charles A. Prosser, director of the William Hood Dunwoody Industrial institute said today in an address prepared for delivery before the convention on vocational education.
 Inventions of new machines and processes, while contributing much to the general welfare of society, often inconvenience the individual whose place is taken by machine, Prosser pointed out, and urged that industrial education should be pro. vided for such individuals to enable them to be successful elsewhere.
 Vocational methods of 150 years ago are not suited to our modern industrial problems, according 10 Layton $. Hawkins, educational di- rector of the Associated Tile manu- lecturers, i've shall not get much farthe rim our vocational training in the public schools until the indus farther in our vocational training in the public schools" he said.

FIGHT IN THE WEST

Kearns Says Dempsey is as Likely
 to Give Battle There as in the
 Eastern States,
 Los Angeles, Cal, Feb. 12.-Los Angeles or other Pacific coast cities are looked upon as probable loca- tions for the next heavyweight title bout between Jack Dempsey and "any other man in the world" as well as New York, despite the con- struction of great arena there. Jack Kearns, the champions manager. declared today.
 Kearns viewed the location prob lem in that light as an answer to eastern whisperings that . he was financially interested with Charles S. Henderson in the construction of Long Island city arena.
 Concerning the so-called 'im- pending war of promoters" between Tex Rickard and Henderson es to who will stage the next title bout, Kearns said: Dempsey might not fight for either of them" although he admitted that negotiations with both were being considered.
 "I am not financially interested with either of the promoters" Kearns said. 'Neither have I any definite promises with Henderson in writing. The highest bidder will win. That's all"

WILL SUPPORT HEREOF
This Is Base of New Resolution De- signed To Promote Harmony
 In Socialist Ranks.

Grenoble, France, Feb. 12.-Thc committee Of the Socialist Congress appointed to draft a resolution on which unanimity within the party can be attained, yesterday reached all agreement on the text of reso- lution prepared by q subcommittee consisting of NM. Blum, Rcnaudcl, and Bracke under which a policy of continuing the party's support of the Iierriot ministry will be approved.
 At the same time, however. this resolution, in referring to the text of the resolution, adopted last June formally assuring Premier Hcrrlot Of the support of the Socialists, will de- clare that the Socialist parliamen- tary group while continuing its sup port of the cabinet, "connot con- stitutc a permanent and obligatory element of the parliamentary ma jority."
 This satisfies the left section of the party. but not the members of the right. It IS expected however, after consideration among the lead CTS the Rightists also will accept it tomorrow. In any case the text of tho resolution. 10 which the finish ing touches were heinz put tonight is certain to be adopted almost un- animoUsly.
