CROP FUMIGATION
URGED FOR FARMERS
Small Producers Can Save Much

Insect Pests.

Immediate fumigation to rid the

crops Of insect pests Immediately

of the United States Department OF
Agriculture, as means of saving
American farmers millions of dollars

large share Of their profits each year
by causing them to sell their newly
harvested grain as soon as possible
to avoid loss from insect attack. BY
treating 1t themselves at small cost

and realize later on good market re.

have shown that nearly all cereal
crops, except those of the far North,
are more or less infested when the
grain ripens in the fields at harvest
time, and delay in getting the crop
under cover where it can be treated
gives the insects a chance to multi

Even a single days delay Is costly.
Furnigation can destroy every insect
in the bins, but this is done more
eaesily immed iately upon harvesting.
Although the idea that insects gen.

Legion In Syria, viii face court-mar-
tial on charges OF desertion on July

been In the citadel of Damascus since

James III. Harvey, an English mem.
Der of the legion, who is accused OF
leaving his post at the same time as
Doty, win be tried on the same date.
The French Judge advocate, Capt.
Pugney, has conducted an exhaustive
investigation into the affair because
Of what he terms the wild reports"
sent to the United States by some
American correspondents during the
first week in June, when Doty was re-
ported as having been already tried
and executed.
1t is expected that Doty will not
suffer anything more serious than a
brief prison sentence.
In a recent interview with a CORE
spondent for the Associated Press at
the citadel prison in Damascus
young Doty said that it was home
sickness which caused him to- leave
his company while actively engaged
against the Druses. He pointed Wig
orously to the citation which he had
received in battle as proof that he
was no coward and told the corre-
spondent that he hoped to serve out
his enlistment and recover his honoc
as a soldier. Although admitting that
he had left the company, Doty said
that he surrendered voluntarily as
soon as he realized his breach Of mill
tary rules.

WASHINGTON, Dec. II (AP)-
McNary and Haugen parted COM
pany today and new farm re-
lief proposal under the name of
McNary- -Fulmer5 came into the
House as a companion for the
Senate bill.
Immediately the farm forces be-
gan to lay plans for bringing the
new bill to a vote this session, but
decision by the House agricul-
ture committee to discontinue fur
ther meetings until after the holi-
days indicated inaction until jan
uary. The Senate committee also
plans no meetings until after re-
cess.
Senator McNary's bill was intro
duced in the House by Representa-
tive Fulmer, Democrat, South Car
olina, and was identical except for
a provision to postpone application
of the equalization fee on cotton
until two years after passage.
While plans of the farm leaders
were being pushed quietly new in
terest was attached to the remarks
of Representative Dickinson, Re-
publican, Iowa, with publication in
revised form of his Wednesdays
speech in the record.
Members. who discussedsit infor-
'mally were plainly surprised by
the directness of Dickinson's S
threat to the administration unless
it supports the farm relief program
'Tit ought not to be continued in
political power"
Even more surprised, however,
were the members over Mr., Dick
inson's statement as to presiden-
tial prerequisites, which followed in
the record directly after a print of
remarks by Fronk o. Lowden, form
er Illinois governor, before a Chi
cago farm meeting.
The Iowan had been questioned
as to whether he believed Mr.. Low
den to be too old ''tO understand
the problem of agriculture, much
less to be a candidate for presi-
dent of the United States"
That" Dickinson replied, "in
my judgement with good health,
is not nearly so serious q handi-
cap in a candidate for president
as trying to exceed the standard
eight years limit that has so been
unanimously fixed by precedent in
previous years on presidential cam

NEW YORK, Dec. II (AP)-An
enormous demand for the common
stock Of the United States Steel
corporation, inspired by the unex-
pected declaration of a 40 perent
stock dividend, carried that issue
up over five points today to 160 1-2

The proposed distribution of a

CHICAGO, Dec. II (AP)-Infiu-

crop advices from parts of Argen-

Closing quotations on wheat were
unsettled at the same as yester-

with corn unchanged to half cent
up, oats at 1-8 to IA cent decline
to an equal advance, and provisions
varying from five cents drop to a
rise Of 20 cents.
Although displaying considerable
strength in the late trade, the
wheat market was running into
more liberal offerings just as the
close. Commission house buying
on resting orders, however, absorb
ed the surplus offerings.

1.-THE Buenos Aires market tended
further to bring about late price
rallies here, despite gossip current
that the Buenos Aires advance was
at least partly due to 3,500,000

been bought for shipment to Eng
land.
Liverpool quotations, lower than
expected, together with Argentine
reports of favorable harvest wea-
ther, had much to do with self

sertions that Chicago May deliv-
cry is the highest priced wheat in
the world, and that export outlets
are still needed to avoid burden
some domestic carry-over at the
end of the crop year
Corn and oats followed the trend
of wheat, developing firmness after
an early decline. Country offer
ings of corn were mainly held
above buyers views.
Provisions were firmer, helped
by an upturn in the value Of hogs.
