ment Temporary arrangement cover
ing period OF five years. The French
prepared Immediately to leave for their
homes. carrying with them an Ameri-

20 continue discussions for a perman-

period.
The agreement provides FOR annual
payments to the United States Of So
100000 to be considered, Undersecre-
tary Winston announced, as the full
current interest on the total debt,
pending the further negotiations.
It is contemplated that negotiations
will be resumed when the French gov

Finance Minister Caillaux told the
Americans that he had authority for
his government to make full settle
ment, but questioned his own right to
enter into temporary settlement such
as here proposed. The French finance
minister, therefore, did not sign an
iron-bound agreement.
The offer, described as the best the
French delegation felt their govern
ment could support, was worked out in
a conference Of subcommittee OF the
two commissions.

pared list of edibles to be taken.
This list was carefully locked up

search Of food and, not being success
full in their search, they were ready
to attack anything that looked like
food. especially any kind of food to
which they are especially attracted

June Pig Survey
Shows Decrease

Boston. July 15-A decrease for the
United States of 1873 percent in the
number Of sows farrowed in the
Spring of 1925 from the number in
June pig survey of the U. S. Dept. of
Agriculture. The decrease in the
Corn Belt states is 1919 percent. Be-
cause of the increased number of
pigs saved per litter, the number of
pigs saved this Spring is only 81
percent less than last Spring in the
United States and 10.6 percent less
in the Corn Belt.
The number of sows bred for Fall
farrow this year is reported as As
percent larger than the number ac-
tually farrowed- in the Fall of 1924
for the United States and about one
percent larger in the Corn Belt. Pre-
vious surveys have shown that Fall
farrowings have been 20 to 25 per-
cent less than the numbers reported
bred. Because of the increased pric-
es of hogs this Summer and the
prospects for very large corn crop,
ii is probable that actual farrowings
this Fall will more nearly approach
numbers reported bred than during
the three previous years.
Compared with 1923 the peak pro-
duction year, the number of sows
farrowed this Spring is about 36
percent smaller, both in the United
States and in the Corn Belt.
