Crop Resume

(By Charles F. COLLISION, Minneapo-
lis Tribune Farm Expert)
The cow, the sow and the little
red hen, the great trio of balanced
agriculture" the farmers best
friends along the long, long lane to
prosperity, are helping him i'm
mensely to solve his farming prob
lens.
The most remarkable progress
ever made along the "cow paths to
prosperity in the whole history Of
America is revealed in a survey
recently made by The Tribune. It
shows eight years achievments of
- the northwestern farmer since 1921
to 1890.
Nobody can glance over the fol-
lowing record Of what has been ac-
complished, in rebuilding our agri-
culture in the northwest, without
becoming an optimist and boost
er for good farming"
Did you realize that in these
eight years, for example. a COM
plete revolution has occurred in
northwestern farming?
Without farm relief" or tariff
rvisions or aid from the farm
board, or new farm legislation, the
farmer himself, cooperating with
the business interests, has wrought
a tremendous change in northwest
ern agriculture.
Thousands of farmers have learn
ed that it is "time to milk" Thous-
ands Of grain growers have adopt
ed crop rotations, started growing
feed crops on their old wheat acre
age, raising livestock and poultry
where none were raised before, US
ing purebred sires to increase and
improve their sires to increase and
improve their fiocks and herds.
AS a result, general farm income
in the four states. Minnesota, the
Dakotas and Montana, has increas-
ed II per cent in eight years.
The "cow-sow-hen" income, in the
same time has increased 81 per
cent.
They brought $431, ,241, 900 in 1921
which leaped up to $S07, $4,000 in
1929. The gain amounts to $685.
SO8,OO0 in value in 1929 over their
1921 output.
This $8O7, ,549, 900 in 1929 from the
@'cow-sow-hen' trio, is more than
four times all the wheat crops
grown in the great spring wheat
belt of the country, stretching from
the Mississippi river to the Rocky
mountains.
All the wheat grown there
brought only $17s, 900 (192s) at
about 81 a bushel. Wheat is no
longer king in this bread and
butter land of plenty.
This "cow-sow-hen" income was
also larger than all the field

beauty competition, and a sham
battle, were staged under Legion
auspices.
At Appleton ITO registered. Be

in Naval Treaty.

Without roll call and without oppo-
sition the Senate today adopted the
Norris reservation to the London naval
treaty resolution of ratification.
The Norris reservation provides that

Supporters of the treaty did not OPP
pose the Norris reservation, although
President Hoover and Senators Reed of
Pennsylvania and Robinson of Arkan-
sas, members of the American delega-
ton at London, have repeatedly assured
the Senate that vthere are no secret
agreements relating to the treaty.
The Norris reservation was modified
by eliminating the preambles which it
originally contained.
Watson Assured of Vote.
Senator Watson, Republican leader,
said this afternoon he had assurance
from opponents of the treaty that they
would not oppose taking vote tomor-
row. For that reason, he said, unless
the treaty could be ratified by or 6

by Keech-Effective z Am.
Wednesday.

Counsel for the two Washington
street car companies and the Public
Utilities Commission conferred today
on the terms of the decree settling the
10-cent carfare case to be presented
for signature to Justice Jennings
Bailey of District Supreme Court. The
decree will be taken to Justice Bailey
10 o'clock tomorrow and it will be made
effective at 2 am. the next day.
The Public Utilities Commission late
this afternoon directed Acting .Corpor-
alton Counsel Vernon L. West to note
an appeal from the decision of Justice
Bailey. It will be taken to the Court
of Appeals at the earliest practicable
date.
Peoples Counsel Keech informed the
commission at its brief meeting today
that he would file a formal motion
seeking complete revaluation of the
properties of the two street car COM
panies.
Time for Retaliation.
"I think it is about time we had this
one during the course of the hearings,
but failed There is too much doubt
as to what the value of these companies
really is. If 1t should turn out after
Ievaluation that the 10-cent fare is
justified, will be satisfied that at least
have not passed up any opportunities
to get 1t back down to what consider
more reasonable level"
At the conference the companies
q NHh0 ~
sengers who must now pay 10 cents
for a joint street car-bus ride, will get
it for 9I2 cents. At present there are
some places where passenger on pay
ment of an Scent cash fare on street
car can get transfer to bus for 2
cents additional, making 10 cents in
all. Under the terms of the decree ne
may now pay token on the street
car costing 7l2 cents. and be given his
transfer to the bus for 2 cents addi-
tional, making ga cents.
Two DEGREES Desired.
Mr. Keech, who attended the confer
ence, said that he would insist that the
court sign two DEGREES, one in the case of
each company. so that either case might
be appealed without reference to the
other. Attorneys for the companies
have not agreed to his and the matter
will be put up to Justice Bailey in the
moAning.
Those who attended the conference
were Acting Corporation Counsel Ver-
non L. West, Assistant Corporation
Counsel Francis H. Stephens Peoples

TOXIC, July 21.-Torrential rains
and terrific winds today had claimed
toll of at least 408 lives and devastated
huge areas in Southern Japan and
Korea, laying waste property valued by
conservative Toxic newspapers at mil
lions of dollars.
In one area alone, Kiushiu Island
at the foot of the japanese empire,
property damage reached $4,000, 900
Other districts reported great damage
from storms of the last two weeks, but
official figures were lacking.
There were IS known dead on
Kiushiu. Many were missing and hun
dreds injured
So Deaths on Friday.
Seoul dispatches to Toxic newspa-
pers said So deaths were known to have
resulted from last Fridays typhoon
which swept in from the Pacific, dashed
Kiushiu, and whipped across Korea
straight into the provinces of Keisho-
nando, Keishohokudo, Kankyonando
and Kogendo. The provinces, still suf-
fering from the effects of recent floods
which killed at least 2s5 persons and
made thousands homeless, were hard
hit by the typhoon.
Property damage in Korea was much
smaller than on Kiushiu, but only be-
cause of the comparative poverty of the
inhabitants.
Indications were the Korean death
toll would mount much higher. Ninety
two fishing craft, carrying more than
500 fishermen, were missing at sea
Eighty-three persons were unaccounted
for ashore.
$50 Craft Sink in Typhoon.
More than 100 vessels, mostly fishing
craft, were missing from Kiushiu
Island, where $50 craft of the same
type were sunk by the typhoon.
