PROSPECTS BRIGHT
FOR END OF DEADLOCK
OVER FARM RELIEF

those who are supporting the admin
istration and who are opposed to the
debenture clause. If there Is to be a
real break between the administration
and the Senate, right at the outset of
the Hoover administration, the set up
for brisk fight during the next four
years has been made.
Much Depends on Fight.
The fear Of the Republican leaders in
the Senate has been that the coalition
between the insurgent Republicans and
the Democrats on the debenture clause
of the farm bill might be made perma-
nent and be carried through on other
important measures which come before
the Upper House. Much depends upon
how the present fight between the Pres
ident and the Senate over the farm
bill is ended.
If there is to be no farm bill, be-
cause of Observation-Disclosures e
II there is to be no farm bill, because
Of the determination of the Senate to
stick by the debenture clause, it is be-
lieved that the President will not hes
itate to carry the issue to the country
itself However, II a farm bill that is
satisfactory to the administration car
now be put through, it is clear that
there will be no good reason for ar
appeal to the country, forcing a greater
break between the President andsmem-
bers of his party in the Senate. Not 6
little hangs on the present situation
therefore. particularly with a congress
sional election coming OH next year
in which one-third Of the Senate mem
bership and the entire House member
ship must stand for reelection.

CROWDS ACCLAIM
 PRINCESS MARTHA Swedish Princess Focus of Warm
 Ovation by NorWegians

Oslo, Norway. March 20 P-- her last day Of unmarried life today with Norwegians outdoing them selves to make it pleasant for her
 Tomorrow she becomes the bride Of Prince Olaf. crown prince Of Norway, but before that ceremony takes place she will have eXper- fenced the full measure Of Norway's welcome 10 the woman who one day may be its Quean.
 NoI since the dissolution of the lmjon Of the Scandinavian peninsula in Ig#5 has there been such a dem- ou~tration for q Swede in this coun- lry as was accorded Princess Martha yesterday during q ride through pslo'- streets. For an hour and a half longer than had originally been intended she and Prince Olaf were driven about the city and pelted with flowers from cheering throngs
 Prince Olaf caught many Of the bouquets skiufu.ly while his dancee blew kisses 10 her admirers. At the end of the drive the tall King Haa- kor was forced to lift her bodily rom the mass Of flowers ill the car riase and put her on the ground.
 King Haakon iH the course of the demonstration entered the crowd like any Of his subjects and waved and eaeered with the most humble Of them. In the midst of the eIthusi- asm a man nearly bowled over the monarch. Turning to make apolo- gIes the man vas astonlshcd to find his victim his own ruler. The king laughed heartily, seemingly delight ed with the incident.
 In the evening Princess Martha appeared at ball at the palace in a beautiful gown Of yellow with motifs in sparkling paillettas. She opened the dancing with Prince Diaf, while King Haakon danced with her mother, Princess lngeborg, and the queen with the Duke Of York.

MAY DELAY ACTION
 UPON COURT ENTRY.
Senate Opposition Ezpecta- Special Session May Pass Buck

Washington, March 20 P - The final formula for American adher- ence to the world court is arousing some concern among friends in the court at the capitol
 Their concern centers in private expressions of discontent with the proposal made in circles which were opposed to adherence when the question was before the senate three years ago.
 A vigorous fight was made at that time, and, as the new proposal re- quires action by the senate, such ex- pressions emphasize the possibility of a renewal of the controversy, Re- vival of the opposition on acceptance of the modified formula, leaders ad- init, might permanently block the way for American entry into the court,
 With that situation in view, the idea that il might be advisable to let the question rest until the regu- lar December session of congress is gaining support. By that time, the League of Nations and the other 40 nations adhering to the court would have an opportunity to disclose their attitude toward the formula. and Chairman Borah of the foreign re- lations committee. among others would prefer 10 know what they are going to do about it before taking II up.
 The formula, worked out by Elihu Root and members of the commis- sion of international jurists engaged at Geneva in revising the courts rules, has to do with the controvert- d question of advisory opinions by the tribunal. The senate's reserva- ton that such opinions should not be rendered without the consent of this government in cases in which i, has or claims to have an interest was rejected by the world powers and Mir Roots efforts have been di- rected toward the formulation of ar arrangement which would satisfy both viewpoints.
 While no official comment has been made on the results of that effort, as announced at Geneva
 through the Associated Press, Mir Root is known to have kept this gov prnment fully advised on the pro- .ress of the discussions. and It is as- sumed that his modified plan was presented to Washington authorities before it was adopted by the interna' tional commission.

The date has been set tentatively for

serve banks will be the issuing body
for both greenbacks reduced one-third
in size from the present bills. The
treasury department regards the one
third shrinkage as a profit, however,
expecting to save that proportion Of

Corn Stalk Problem.

THE picturesque bundles of corn
stalks between which the golden
pumpkins shine are all well enough
from the esthetic point of view. but to
the Bureau of Plant Industry Of the
Department of Commerce, they are q
source of a serious problem.
The specialists at the bureau, whose
interest lies primarily in the produce
ton of food for the body, would re-
move this source of inspiration from
the poet and his food for the soul. In
fact, they are out to exterminate the
piles of corn stalks which are LETT IN
the fields.
The trouble all lies in little parasitic
fungus which struggles along under the
name of gibberella saubinetii. This
fungus was responsible for heavy loss
in Spring wheat and barley in the
corn belt States last year. 1t will also
dine upon barley, oats, rye, corn and a
number of types of wild grasses.
Like the wheat rust, which seems to
require the barberry for a host at one
time during the cycle of its life, this
fungus must dwell a while with corn
before it can spread its destruction
elsewhere. It finds in old corn stalks a
residence to its liking, and after a
sojourn there attacks other grain when
It is in bloom or shortly after. If the
season be especially wet, so much the
better from the fungus point Of view.
And II other grain should be planted
after crop Of corn has been grown,
then the fungus is In ideal sur
roundings.
The answer Is not so difficult, the
bureau experts believe. II the corn
stalks are removed. burned or CONF
pleteiy buried, much of the danger is
removed. Proper treating Of the seed
also has its beneficial effect, and. to
ant types oi grain are being developed.
