Field Bored Members
With Queries

CHICAGO. Sept. 5. -tP-Mrs-

Mrs. Field. whose husband Is

a neighbor-
The evils OF rum were being dis
cussed with ardor when Mrs. Field
inuuired if she might ask a ques-
ton The w. c. T. u. members
knew Mrs. Field as a foe of their
cause but told her TO so ahead n
ask.
Mrs. Field wanted TO know why.
If the liquor question had been
settled. a certain institution for the
cure OF inebriety had a greater pa
tronage than before prohibition.
That's simple" replied Miss
Helen Hood. president OF the w. @.
IT. u. 1T Is because the institu-
ton to which you refer now has a
monopoly on a business formerly
shared by dozens OF institutions now
closed. And besides, they now treat
drug cases"
Mrs. Field then walked to the
platform and made a short talk OF
a nature alien to the aims Of the
W. c. 7. U.
Reports that the discussion be-
came heated and even boisterous
brought denials from Mrs. c. t.

Mrs. Fields made a lot Of ridi-
culous statements" Mrs. TibbetS
said. Some Of the. ladies we're

things. Feeling ran pretty high,
but Mere was no fighting"
Axs. Field declined to discuss the
matter.

GROWERS Of SEED
Ridden COOPERATE

Commercial Dealers Desire to
Extend Farmers Advan-
tages Of Reputation

Fargo, N. D.. Jan. 15.-F-Bet:er
cooperation between seed growers and
commercial seedsmen will produce
bigger profits and more satisfaction
for both. w. H. Magill, Fargo seeds
man, said In an address to the second
annual North Dakota Seed-G Growers
school here.
Methods used by the seed trade in
locating supplies and purchasing re-
quirements were outlined in detail
and other phases Of the seed business
were discussed In order that the seed
producerS>might have a better UNDER
standing Of the problem Of the man
at the marketing end Of the business.
Phases covered by Magill in his talk
were the time when purchases usual
ly are made, the delivery date, meth
DDS of determining dockage and the
quality of seed desired.
Growers who market through we'll
established seedhouses have a distinct
advantage, he said. in that they share
the reputation Of the house and r
certain to be treated in accordance
with tho best established practices.
Bust Analyses Marketing
Problems encountered by farmers
in marketing seed grain. were dis
cussed at the state seed school here
today by G. A. Bust.
Four avenues Of distribution arc
open to the average farmer, Bust said.
They are to sell his crop to neigh
bors: to solicit business by mail and
advertising; to Join q cooperative
seed growers organization or to sell
to commercial seedsmen.
The farmer who attempts to sell d.
rect must clean. pack and advertise
his product and hi: selling expense
will make It necessary to- obtain a
higher price. In edition he runs the
rick that his sales will fall short OF
his production.
BY joining a cooperative he be-
comes an indirect seller. The costs
Of cleaning and selling ore borne by
the association but the price he re-
ceives will be lower. However. his
sales volume may be larger, enabling
him to make more net profit at q
smaller margin per bushel.
"A larger demand for pedigreed and
certified seed increases the outlet
through commercial seedsmen." Bust
said. Annually a great many CAR
loads Of seed grains. certified by crop
improvement associations. are pur-
chased from growers by commercial
seedsmen.
TN Minnesota, the crop improve
ment association has arranged a spe-
| cial service to certify seed corn grown
by farmers on contracts with seeds
men.

ASSOCIATED Press Correspondent

Geneva, Jan. 15.-F)-Whilc the
world has been watching momentous
events in international politics
chiefly concerned with Anglo-Amer-
lean relations and naval questions
the League of Nations in the last
quarter of 1929 has been carrying out
IN extensive economic program.
Leaders Of the leagues economic
work, pleased and hopeful because
of their political brcthrcn's apparent
progress toward disarmament and
security, are striving to develop a
spirit of economic cooperation among
nations as their contribution to world
peace.
Widest interest. perhaps. attaches
to launching of the scheme for a
tariff truce" The leagues economic
committee has framed a draft treaty
for tho proposed customs armistice
and governments of all countries
have been asked to give their opin-
ions as to the ACCESSIBILITY of holding
q diplomatic conference as a further
step.
Studying Agriculture
The economic committee also has
arranged to convene early in 1880 q
meeting of experts from all parts Of
the world to study agricultural in
'dustries. which arc said to be gener-
ally in q poor state.
The fiscal. committee which. like
the economic committee. has an
American member, has contributed
a plan for eliminating double taxa
ton, and another plan for abolish
ing taxation on touring automobiles
in foreign countries.
A multilateral agreement for equal
treatment of foreigners wa devised
mt Paris in November by q conference
under league auspices. Questions in
volved in this cooperative move also
are largely economic.
Fear Chaos In Coal
Another league-engendered con-
ference at Paris hopes to give effect
to the treaty for abolition Of import
and export restrictions and pr0hibi-
tions, which the United States has
ratified.
These activities are the work OF
the league secretariat. The interna-
tlOIdl laDOT OlAlCS. Tic lGdSuc AL
stitution which deals with industrial
matters, also has been active.
Anxious because of the chaos in
the European coal world. the labor
office has summoned for January a
meeting Of technical experts from,
nine principal coal producing coun-
tries to make a accommodating attack
On problems in this basic industry.
A survey Of living costs in the
great industrial cities Of Europe has
been organized by the Labor office.
This survey is in response to a re-
quest from the Ford Motor company
of Detroit, which wants information
that will serve es a basis for fixing
n wage scale in its projected Europ-
can factories equivalent to the wage
scale fer it's American plants.

EXPERIMENT FARMS
PIONEER IN BETTER
SEEDPR0DUC7ION
Montana Agronomist Tells the
School at Fargo How Crop
Improvement Starts

Fargo, N. D., Jan. 15.-(R-One Of
the most difficult tasks facing those
promoting the use Of better seed Is
that Of convincing farmers generally
that they will profit by using it,
Clyde Mckee, agronomist at the
Montana Agricultural college, told
the North Dakota state seed school
here.
It is the principal function Of agri-
cultural experiment stations, he said,
to conduct exhaustive tests to deter
mine the best varieties for planting
under given conditions and to rec
onmend the standard varieties for
general Isl in the state, Mckee said.
After this is done, comes the job Of
convincing the farmer and the public
generally that the facts thus obtained
are worth acting upon. Tests made
in various sections Of the state are
usually q sound method Of convincing
farmers and seed growers of thu. de-
STABILITY Of q strongly recommended
variety Of any crop, Mckee said. They
may not believe what they hear but
they will believe what they see. Such
demonstrations, he said, not only con
vince doubters of the superiority of
the variety demonstrated, but brings
home to them the advantages of
standardizing on a few superior var-
ieties rather than grow a number Of
miscellaneous varieties and thus COM
plicating the marketing problem.
A third and necessary step In any
crop improvement program through
the use Of better seed Is to make it
easy for the average farmer to obtain
pure seed OF the standard varieties
recommended.
In this work. he said, the expert
ment station furnishes the founda-
ton seed stock. The extension de-
partment and the seed growers asso-
citation turn this over to seed grow
ers OF outstanding ability and inter-
est who will increase the foundation
stock for distribution to registered
seed growers. Close inspection keeps
the seed pure and the requirements
are rigidly adhered to.
The result, Mckee said, Is that in
a relatively short time a new crop
variety, the purity of which has been
maintained, is available for use by
the public generally.

What many people call indigestion
very often means excess acid in the
stomach. The stomach nerves have
been over-stimulated, and food sours.
The corrective is an alakli, which
neutralizes acids instantly. And the
best alkali known to medical science
is Phillips Milk of Magnesia. It has
remained the standard with physi-
clans In the so years since its lnven-
ton.
One spoonful of this harmless,
tasteless alkali in water will neutral
ize instantly many times as much
acid, and the symptoms disappear at
