— ALES of its wheat and cotton have been stopped by the federal farm board until next year, according to the announcement made by Chairman James C. Stone. He said the board and the American Cotton Co-operative associa. tion had agreed to the terms laid down by the Reconstruction Finance corporation for a loan of $50,000,- 000, stipulating that their holdings of near- ly 2,000,000 bales of cotton be taken off the market until 1933. Mr. Stone also an- nounced that the board had sold all Its stabilization wheat except 3,000, 000 bushels. This means the grain sta. bilization corporation has disposed of more than 254,000,000 bushels of wheat since July 1, 1031, and more than 186,000,000 bushels since Novem- ber 1 last. The stabilization corpora- tion, therefor, is no longer a factor in the grain market. It still holds what Mr. Stone called “a certain amount of futures contracts” which will be held at least until after the beginning of the next year, A loophole for the disposal of the cash wheat was left by the provision that, though this wheat would be kept off the market until the new year, this limitation would not apply to possible sales to foreign countries not reckoned as important buyers of American grain, In making the arnounceme.t, Chair. man Stone explained that the purpose of the arrangements was to make a better market for the farmers. The cotton growers, he pointed out, will get the full benefit of the market for their crop of this year without the price-dulling interference of the hold. over crop. The Cotton Stabilization corporation and the Co-oper- ative association, Mr. Stone sald, would gra liquidate their hold- ings “durin inds when more active demand is anticipated.” J. C. Stone Cotton owas striking Jarmers did not ap- prove of the truce called by the bead of their “holiday” -~ssociation and made preparations to renew the picketing of the highways around the larger cities. They also called on Gov. Dan Turner to try to induce the gov- ernors of several middle west states, at a conference in Sioux City, to in. stitute an embargo “upon all food- stuffs from the middle western states at less than production costs.” Pickets outside Sioux City wrecked & number of trucks and injured the drivers, but the sheriffs forces then got busy and dispersed them and re moved frem the roads the formidable obstructions placed by the farmers. In Nebraska the picketing was aban- doned for tne present. Frasca circles of the country were intensely interested to read of the new plans for the Continental Illinois Bank and Trust company of Chicago, largest bank outside of Now York city. The directors voted to na- tionalize the institution and to set up special reserves of $40,000,000 out of surplus to cover losses incurred. As a further mark of conservatism they voted a quarterly dividend of $2 a share in comparison with $3 in each of the two preceding periods and with a former annual rate of $16. The bank's capital remains unchanged at $75,000.00, The directors explained to the stock- holders that “the development of a plan for nationalizing the bank was suggested by recent legislative pro- posals regarding the banking system of the United States, all of which in- dicates a distinct trend in the direc tion of a more unified national struc ture, strengthened and controlled by the federal banking authorities” RED HOVEY of Omaha, Neb. has been appointed head of the agri- cultural credit organization of the Reconstruction Finance corporation and already is busy in his office In Wash- ington. For many years Mr, Hovey has been connected with the Stock Yards Na- tional bank of South Omaha. He is so fa- miliar with conditions and the needs of the stock raisers of the West that officials of the corporation feel he is especially well fitted to carry out the live stock feeders’ loan program, This Is to be the first work andertaken by the new Agricultural Credit corpor- ation and 1s looked on as of vast im- portance, HIS year's national alr races at Cleveland wound up In a blaze of glory for Maj.

Rodriguez, who was chosen for the position by the congress after Pascual Ortiz Rublo resigned because of political differences and his ill health. Rodriguez, who has been holding the portfolio of min- ister of war, is one of the strong military figures in the repub- lic and in 1020 sup- pressed the Escobar revolt. On taking of- fice he issued a state. ment In which he said: “Naturally | shall continue the same friendly, cordial relations with the United States that have existed.” In the new cabinet Manuel Tellez remains as foreign minister and Al. berto J. Panl as secretary of the treasury; several others were reap- pointed. Gen. Pablo Quiroga was given the war portfolio. The entire diplomatic corps in Mexico City called on President Rodriguez, and hundreds of congratulatory messages were received by him, including one from President Hoover. President Rodriguez —————— Boyia was reported to have flat- ly rejected the plea of the neutral Latin-American nations for a with Paraguay In their dispute over the Gran Chaco. The Paraguayans assumed that this meant certain and went ahead with their preparations. It was officially an- nounced In La Paz that a Paraguayan force had attacked a defense post on the frontier and was repulsed by Jolivian troops, truce had an agreement with the navy that the latter would not indulge in hos- tilities for the time being: but the rebels fired machine guns on naval planes dropping manifestos over Montserrat, which seemed to end the semi-neutral attitude of the navy. Seven of its planes flew over Fort Itaipu at the entrance of Santos har bor and destroyed it with bombs. The federal forces were sald to have made considerable gains from both the north and the south. V HILE the Germans were prepar- ing for the crucial session of the reichstag, called for September 12 by Hermann Goering, the Nationa!

The demand had been submitted to France in the form of an aide memoire and some days later was given to the public by Baron Von Neurath, foreign minister. It Is really an ultimatum, announcing that unless the equality in armaments Is granted by the powers, Germany will quit the world disarmament con- ference, Before and after the publication of the note, Gen. Kurt von Schleicher, minister of defense, declared In ad- dresses and Interviews that if the de- mand were not granted Germany would arm anyway, and he was most emphatic In his statements. To newspaper men in Koenigsberg he as serted stormily: *“I mean everything I have sald. We will no longer stand for being treated like a second rate nation.” Premier Herriot decided that France's reply to the Germvins should be a refusal to discuss their demands, and in this he was upheld by the cab. inet. He also disapproved mixing up modification of the Versailles treaty with the disarmament conference, and In his answer sald that if the Ger mans questioned the accepted Inter. pretation of the Versailles treaty and the League covenant, the matter must be referred to arbitration by the League council or the world court. Some stress was also placed on the fact that the military clauses in the treaty of Versailles form the tials of many other post-war treaties and that the entire edifice of post-war turope will be imperiled if they are tampered with, Hermann Goering N BEPTEMBER 11, the eight. eenth anniversary of the Battle of the Marne, a fine memorial of that mighty struggl> was presented to the French nation by America, whose clit- izens to the number 4,000,000 con- tributed its cost.

Often severe losses are sustained and opportunities for improvement are overlooked be cause beekeepers are so busy harvest ing their crop and preparing it for son. In localities which do not have a fall honey flow, the latter part of the early homey flow is an excellent fnferior queens. Even though it may seem difficult to do in these busy days, often the most profitable work in the apiary is that of replacing poor queens with good ones while this can be done advantageously. Another Important stone in the foundation for next year's honey crop In localities not having a fall honey flow is that of providing a super of honey, food chamber, for each colony to be sure to have an abund. ance of stores for fall, winter and spring. Believes in Limestone The champion limestone user of I nois, it may safely be stated, says ao writer in the Prairie Farmer, is D, M. Hardy, eighty-four-yearold Monroe county farmer, who last year applied 3400 tons, or approximately 85 car loads, on 1,000 acres of land. While he admits that this Is a sizable order he says: “My experience with lime. stone running over several years has been that it Is one of the highest.pay- ing farm practices that has been de veloped for modern agriculture.” A Study Means to Put End to Farm “Waste” Specialists Seek Methods of Using By-Products. Each year we make new progress toward economic perfection on the farm and still there are plenty of waste materials, This isn't because We are not careful and willing to save, but because means have not been we throw away, law material to board, acetic acid, alcohols, acetone and charcoal needed each year in the United States is found in the straw of wheat, oats, barley, rye and rice, marsh grasses, The waste of these materials Is es timated at over 260,000,000 tons a year. The chemists know about it and so do the manufacturers. The trouble is that the materials are so bulky and the expense of gathering them is so great that they are not wanted when more compact and more easily handled stuff Is available. Most of the paper and other commercial goods mentioned fbove are now made from other raw materials, principally wood and corn, The various materials named are not wasted altogether, of i and fertilizing value. are burned, a modicum constituents Is restored to for the benefit of succeeding crops.
