During the past week, milk produc-
ton has been affected by the seasonal
decline, and in most sections by ex-
tremely hot weather. Receipts of
butter on the principal consuming
markets have decreased, and consid-
ering the receipts, the markets have
been unsettled, with demand some

The general market condition on
eggs is unsatisfactory, due to the fact
that receipts have been liberal, pro-
duction has held up remarkably wen
for this season and demand is light.
Arrivals have been heavier than
needed for current consumption which
resulted in an apparent jndisposition

Condemnation Proceedings
MAY Reduce Transfer Costs
Process of Acquiring Right of Way
Described in State Highway Bull
letin-Will Save Time

Condemnation proceedings may
seem useless red tape when land
owner is willing to sell land for high
way right of way at the price offered,
but frequently they are found to be
the simplest and least expensive
method of conveying title, according
to a bulletin from the State highway
department..
This is true when land owners are
not able to give clear title. In that
case they are advised that condem-
nation will simplify matters. The
land value may be stipulated, saving
the appraisal expense ito the owner.
When it is found necessary to con-
denim certain parcels of land to avoid
paying an exorbitant price, other
parcels needed for the same project
which might be bought at fair price
may be included in the proceedings.
This done so that all owners will be
paid on the same basis. The apprais-
ers named by the district judge are
usually local men familiar with land
values.
Benefits which road may bring to
the land owner are not considered by
the State department in determining
land values, but they are frequently
considered by the appraisers appoint
ed by the court. Consequently it Of
ten happens that land owners who re-
fust the price offered, get less when
the value is determined through con-
demnation.
The departments policy is to pay
the full and fair value Of the land tax
en-. If no buildings are affected, the
price may be less than the price per
acre of the entire farm with build
ings. Allowance is made for crops
which may be destroyed, for moving
fences or building new ones and fol-

BURTON OUTLINES
VIEWS ON EUROPE
Tells President He Doubts
Arms Cut or World Court
Acceptance of U. S.
BY j. RUSSELL YOUNG.

Representative Theodore Burton OF
Ohio, who has just returned from
Europe. where he participated in the
sessions of the Interparliamentary
Union at Geneva and was a spectator
at the closing sessions of the Council
of the League of Nations, called on
President Coolidge at the White
House today and gave him a report
on conditions in Europe as he found
them.
Representative Burton said he was
deeply impressed by the formal ac-
ceptance of Germany into the League
and he expressed the belief that this
will go a long way toward improving
the economic situation Of the nations
of Europe as we'll as promoting more
amicable relations.
Mr.. Burton made it very plain that
from his observation there is not
much likelihood of the acceptance of
| the United States into the World
Court under the terms laid down by
| this country.
He said there is no doubt about the
| eagerness on the part of the powers
to have the United States a member
| Of the World Court. but some of the
| leaders with whom he conferred eX-

pressed the opinion that the United
States already has received too many
concessions from Europe and that 1t
should adhere to the court under
terms more acceptable to the powers
in question.
Neither does he feel optimistic about
any definite or constructive result In
the way of disarmament, following
proceedings of the Geneva conference
being held under the auspices of the
Lague of Nations. In his opinion.
matters have been made complex and
befuddied as the result of chickering's
on the part of various technical en-
perts.
Mr.. Burton said that while Some
feeling against Americans now exists
in France. he is inclined to believe that
the reports regarding anti-Amerlcan
demonstrations have been exaggerated
There is little doubt in his mind
about the final acceptance by the
French and the United States OF the
terms of settling the French debt

although l look upon the pros
poets as being poor for any immediate
results from the Geneva Arms Con

convinced the time is not far distant
when something constructive will be
accomplished in this direction. There
is no mistaking the general desire on
the part of the peoples of Europe Tor
