THERE were II free states and
- II slave states in the Union, il
1920, when Missouri sought to en-
ter as a slave state. The north re
sisted this attempt, and confusion
and bitter feeling reigned in Con
gress, when Henry Clay, able
statesman and speaker OF the
House Of Representatives at the
time, offered a compromise. With
Maine coming in as free state
he suggested that that part oil
Missouri below latitude $500 entel
as slave state, while the rest OF
the territory could come in latei
as free states.
This and other great compro
misses, in his career, earned Henry
Clay the nickname OF "The Great
Compromised" Always lie sought
to preserve the Union in peace and
harmony. In Jackson's admins
tration, South Carolina objected t.
the high tariffs which protected the
northern industries at the expense
of the southern planters, and
threatened to withdraw from the
Union. And again Clay offered
compromise, by reducing the tar.

UNEMPLOYMENT CUT
BY CHRISTMAS TRADE
December Pay Rolls Reported Up
$13,300,000 a Week Over
November.
Nv tina Associated Press


Secretary Perkins reported yesterday
that the best Christmas business since
before the depression helped bring a
$4,000 reduction in the Nations I'M
employment rolls last month.
Pay rolls throughout industry were
greater by $13,300.000 a week than
they were in November, she added.
Factory employment, Miss Perkins
said, decreased during December by
only o. per cent, much less than the
Labor Department had expected in
view Of the change in dates-from
January to October-for new automo-
bile models. In II of the last l6
years, factory employment in Deem
her dropped off more than it did last
month.
The cabinet member also expressed
pleasure in noting that both employ
ment and weekly pay rolls in factories
were greater than they were in any
month since November, 1880, with the
exception Of the two months imme-
diately preceding.

KRUPP PROFITS HIT
MILLION AND HALF
Money Turned Back Into Factory
Improvements and Re-
search Work.

BY tho ASSoClAtSu FIeSb.
ESSEN. Germany, January as
Germany's rearmament boosted the
profits Of Krupp by more than 81
million marks (around 81 ,500.000)
during the year ending September 30.
1885, the annual report Of the great
wartime gun-founders dynasty dis
closed today.
Net income was 10.340,000 marks
approximately 1929. 400,, as seainst
6,650,000 marks ($2,726,500) Ia the
preceding year.
It was the second consecutive year
Of profits, all Of which were turned
back into factory improvements and
research for raw materials substitutes.
A dividend may be possible, the re-
port said, If business maintains its
present level.
The report frankly attributed the
increase to measures taken by the
Reich government, which created de-
mands for the company's iron and
steel products"
Attempts to find wider foreign
markets, however, were unfruitful, and
with the increasing profits Krupp's
taxes, likewise, have doubled.

Questions Pertaining To
Agriculture and Home
Problems Confronting Farmers and
Homemakers Answered BY
University Farm

Considering the scarcity of feed
crops and the high price of wheat,
would you advise me to seed win
ter wheat this fall on my farm in
southern Minnesota?
Your question is very pertinent
one. On good, productive land in
southern Minnesota where it is not
unduly exposed to high winds, we
would recommend very strongly
that you seed some winter wheat
this year. The variety of winter
wheat which we have found best in
Minnesota one that has stood up
for many years very successfully,
Is Minturki. This variety is very
winter hardy and has been making
high yields throughout southern
Minnesota for some time. Farmers
may expect a yield of from 20 to
30 bushels per acre under favorable
conditions. Higher yields have fire.
quently been reported. Another
worth while consideration is that in
case the winter wheat should result
in thin stand, farmers can go on
the land in the spring using drill
and seed early oats or barley and
cut the entire crop for a feed crop.
We certainly think you are more
than justified in growing wheat
this year.-Ralph f. Grim, extern
sion agronomist.
