MEXICAN STATUS
 AGAIN INVOLVED
Ending of Smuggling Treaty
 Causes Speculation

Washington, March g P,-Con
 siderable interest was manifest in
 unofficial circles today over the ef-
 feet, if any, that termination by the
 United States of the smuggling con-
 vention with Mexico will have on
 the attitude of the American gov
 ernment toward lifting of the presi-
 dential embargo on arms shipments into the southern republic.
 Even in the face of authoritative !, information from the state depart
 ment that President Coolidge in re- | cent conferences with department officials has given no consideration
 10 the advisability of lifting the em- bargo. the subject bobbed up in in formal conversations and press dis patches Mexico touching upon this
 point were read with interest.
 Mexico City dispatches threw no positive light on the situation. They said, however, that the decision 10 terminate the smuggling pact next Monday. had given rise of the ques- ton of whether this move would be followed by the lifting of the arms embargo Many thought. one dis patch said that removal of the em- hargo would result in increased Gales government.
 Senator Norris Of Nebraska. chair man Of the senate judiciary com mittee, interpreted termination of the convention as an invitation to revolution and running, declar- ing that 'it simply means that we are going to permit the shipping of arms and ammunition into Mexico without any restriction" Chairman Borah of the senate foreign rela- tons committee, also viewed ter imitation of the treaty as an act that would be regarded by the Mexican people as an unfriendly gesture.
 The smuggling convention has a direct bearing on the American en- bargo against shipment of arms into Mexico. Under the convention. even If the embargo were lifted. the United States would be required to notify Mexico Of impending ship ments from the United States of arms or any other commodities pro- scribed from importation under Mexican law.
 The department in q statement explaining it's action said that inas- much as the United States has no commercial treaty with Mexico. 'it is not deemed advisable 10 continue in effect an agreement which might in certain contingencies bind the United States 10 cooperation for the of laws or decreeS re- lating to the importation of con- modities of all sorts into another country with which this government has no arrangement, by treaty or otherwise. safe guarding American commerce against possible discrim- nation"
 The explanation gave rise 10 the belief in some quarters that the government again had been unsuccessful in efforts to ne sorate q commercial treaty with ifs sister republic, but the depart ment said there had been no re- cent move to open negotiations on this subject
 Termination of the treaty was de- l
 sded upon after a conference be- | tween President Coolidge, Secretary Kellogg and Ambassador Tellez. of | Mexico, who recently returned from | q brief visit 10 the Mexican capital. | The Mexican ambassador did not | interpret the action as advance mo- 'lCe of lifting Of the embargo and | 5aid the smuggling pact had not been | of great value to either country.

PLAN ID BOOST
 POTATO OUTPUT
New England Crop Expected to
 Surpass 1926 Report

Wakefield. Mass. March 23.-LP Fifteen per cent more potatoes than were harvested in 1926 will be planted this year if March 1 plans of the country's potato raisers ma terialize, the New England crop re- porting service announced here to- day,
 The intended acreage will yield more than 400 million bushels, giv- en an average season. This will be r per cent larger than the har- vested acreage in 1925. and almost 9 per cent above that in the bumper crop year Of 1924 when prices were very low.
 Current reports from 50,oo0 farm CTS show intentions to plant B. 620,00O acres, although fl was pointed out that varying conditions may ultimately change this figure. Past experience, however. has shown that for large areas these preliminary estimates give a signifi- cant indication of what may be eX- pected.
 In the New England states, Maine growers appear 10 have studied the subject soundly, the report says. They plan an intended increase in acreage of only per cent contrast cd with 10 for New Hampshire and Massachusetts; for Vermont: 13 in Rhode Island and 20 in Connecti- cut.
 Other state increases include, New York. 12 per cent; Pennsyi- 10: Minnesota, It and North Da- kota. 20.

SMUT EVIDENT
IN WHEAT SEED
A. {. Plant Path0logist Urges
Treating With Formalde-
hyde, Copper Carbonate

Much smut is evident in the wheat
which is going to be sown this year
according to W. 4. Brentzcl, plant
pathologist, North Dakota Agricul-
tural college. who has examined many
samples of wheat in the last few
weeks. The samples were sent in
by growers from different points in
the state and all the varieties COM
monty grown were represented
These were given careful examin-
alton for bunt or sinking smut.
The examination revealed that the
durum varieties are as badly infested
as the common wheat varieties. A
total of 1913 amber durum samples
were received. Smut was found in
% samples of this lot A total of
81 red durum samples were received
and Of these contained smut. A
total Of 1853 sarnples Of common
wheat were received and 20 of these
were smutty. In all eases smut was
present in sufficient quantities to
cause dockage on the market.
If these samples represent the
state at large we may conclude that
more than Is per cent Of the amber
durum wheat in the state is smutty,"
states Mr.. Brentzel. more than q
per cent of the red durum and more
than IL per cent Of the common
wheat in the state is smutty.
This wheat will be used for seed
this spring and it will be good bust
ness II wheat growers treat every
bushel before sowing. Formaldehyde
or copper carbonate will destroy this
smut if used properly"
