E. N. Hurley Declares Failure to Settle Reparation Question is Serious FOR UNITED STATES Shipping is Held Up and Every Community in the Country is Effected (United Press Service) Chicago, April 27—(Special to Daily Democrat) —Failure to settle the German reparations question its costing American business millions of dollars each day, E. N. Hurley, i ormer chairman of the United States shipping board said to the United Press today. "This question, although it may seem remote to us, affects every community in the country,” said Hurley. "Forty per cent of our steamships are tied up in the docks; fifty per cent of the railroads are experiencing slack tijnes; the United State and the whole world is at a standstill. “Until France, Italy and Belgium know what are their accounts receivable and Germany knows what are her accounts payable, the balance sheet of the world is going to be upset.” The peoples of the earth must set ! their house in order” before business will become normal, according to Hurley. Not only are the big nations of Europe affected by the unceHaint? arising from tjie failure of Germany, and the allies to agree how much Germany must pay as a war debt, but the “little fellows” have no basis for business. aggression, he stated. Hurley said the ' farmer, disheartened by slack markets and uncertain prices, owes his present condition to the European muddle. “If wo do 85 per cent of last year’s business we should be pretty well satisfied,” he said.

FOR THE FARMERS I ——. ( Items of Interest to the < Farmers of Adams County. How Much It Costa to Keep Cow. Souie goverumunt atudltm of dairy coislH in Vermont may be regarded uh fairly typical of the rest of the country. A cow needs half a ton of concentrates. Nearly two tons of dry roughage. Two and a hulf tons of silage. Three acres of pasture. Man labor, 123 hours. Horse labor, 24 hours. Other items of cost, taxes, etc.. $25.36. Roughly you might figure this feed and pasture at $75, and th® labor at $45 —and thereby you would need to take in about $l5O a year on your cow before you could begin to figure u profit. Os course, tho above items will vary in every community, and with every : caucn, but they give you a basis on which to calculate th ■ probable profit or losses—of your dairy cows — par year.—Farm Life. This Is the Month— To go fishing. To teed timothy. To get up the fly screens. To tighten up the silo bauds. To plant a little sorghum for your sweet tooth’s sake. To put away tho incubator. Clean with scalding water and use a disinfectant freely. To plant the main crop of potatoes. I Don’t neglect the formaldehyde treat nient for scab. To take off the boys’ and the horses’ : Ito 'S. Going barefoot in <h ' spring helps both. To sell all the old roosters. Don’t be partial to any. Better get new blood next year anyway. To sow mangels or stock beets if there is no silo. But it ts better to provide for both silo and silage now. To fight lice. Titis is the hatching month for louse eggs as well as hen eggs. Whitewash, kerosene, powder—all will help. To spray apples and pears again for scab, leaf spot; also for lice, moth and curculio. Lime-sulphur , with arsenate of lead is good.—Farm Life. The regular monthly meeting of the Washington Township Farmers' Fed-1 .elation will be held at the Brandyberry school, April 28, at 7:45 p. m.
