France i - simply acting as colleiliii finf'.i :t debtor unwilling to dis-clo-c hi i assets. Germany Failed To Deliver ■ Promised Coal The tii .-t mention of the Ruhr is lo l.e 'mind in the nogojjations held at Hie Spa Conference. Ac--(online stipulations regixtere.1 in the IVace Treaty (Part Vlllj Am. i - V. Par. II). Germany agreed to deliver to France two million; toiu of coal monthly for a certain; term of rears to offset the wilful! destruci ion of French coal mines.! Up to July. 1920, at which time the Spa Conference was held, the delivcrir- of coal amounted to nine, humiicd tons per nyonth. Mr. Sii tines. the coal magnate, assisted by .p rppie cntalive of the Lalsir Union, lieilarerl at the Spa Confer > enre that it was physically Impos-j rible for Germany to deliver more; than one million one hundred thou-; sand tons i>cr month. The Allies! representative* held a different \ view an ildccideil, after conferring j ' with their res|ietcive cabinets, to issue an ultimatum to insure the ■tipulutcd delivery of two million

; ton-, reserving the right to occupy the Ruhr Basin as a penalty for nen compliance on the part of Gor-j1 -many with the terms of the treaty • Vwn receiving the ultimatum, ' Genua?,;, changed her mind, and - the alleged physical impossibility ' changed into a reality, with the 1 result that two million tons weerji regularly delivered every month1! for a tertain time, in 1922, Ger-'1 many failed again to fulfill her oh-;1 'ligation, anil foil behind the slip- j ulated terms Up to January, 1923, 1 when the French army began to , 1 occupy the Ruhr. 1 Again we find a similar jjl-will ' for the delivery of wood necessi- i hded hy the wilful destruction of : the forests in Northern France • during the German invasion. Over 1 . thirty per cent of the German for-1' fsts Wong to municipalities or to 1 the government. Fifty-four per 1 cent of the tleninhiig for wood have 1 h«" complftd with. In this con- ! ' nection a most interesting fact! must he l«irne in nund, namely, that up to 1911 the production of the forests belonging to the Ger- j man State was eleven times the - quantity demanded today by the Allies. Germany's Disregard of Agreemunts Sole Cause V. • t could the non-delivery of ; wood !»> railed hut an intenmtional ' ev.i i ,,r that part of the treaty? • From time to time concessions I have been made hy the Allies, but ' as a matter of fact the more con- , reunions to Germany the less will- ! ingti'- by Germany to keep her word. Notes have boen addressed t„ t r : ■ ■ (human government without Wincing any results. The same 1 disregard for the observance of ; "Iher clauses of the treaty are to '■e , found whenever Germany derides to disregarvl them. One needs only to analyze the fact referring to the financial "debacle" organized by the leaders of German finance, assisted and nbetlf,,l by the captains of German industry. it i« wcu t0 recall in this Connection that Germany has fooled the world with worthless Paper money, which is nothing j hut a merchandise. This country; atone lias sunk nine hundred mil-'i '"'ii dollars of that so-called "val-j ue. for which sound money has t '"*n given. If the German government is not in possession of , 'bat money, then it is evident that| either it is among the German peo- ! p'e or Hlepositod abroad to sub-; miniate the fallacious theory of j a bankrupt Germany. It must not be forgotten that France is entitled to a reparation for the destruction of her mine* ami of her factories, which reparation cannot, by any stretch of ""agination, ho called indemnity. t

INTERESTING NOTES FOR THE FARMERS What Corn Do You Plant? Select the best — It's none too | kooll. ! , f 'What^com will yied the greatest : numlier of bushels of shelletl corn ' ' per acre is the question for mi»st ■ of our com growers. There are instances where corn growers are so satisfied with their') yield that it would be difficult for , them to believe that any other , . corn could yield more than theirs. . ( , Some others know that their corn t •iocs not yield equal to/ that of , I j their neighbors but it is not discarded because it is easy to husk t or has been in the family for years f lor perhaps furnishes more fodder. L : It is safe to say that those farm- ' ers who are so tin-progressive as/ , not lie looking for the highest ! j . Yielding strains of corn are not! . readers of a country paper. Fortunately for the last five or t ! six years there have been conduct- : ^ e ctl several com variety demonstra-1

y j Hons, whereby progressive corn j s j growers are belter able, by tlie re- ! - ; suits obtained, to choose a suitable i strain of corn for their conditions. -The most recent work done along I j this line was done last year by Edi j ward Phillips, of Cape May and 1 I I W. S. Thompson, of Goshen. These j I ; men chose to plant eleven strains I of corn side by making the . ' conditions of planting, culture and i fertilization the same. The vari- , ! ous varieties or tsrains of corn ■ - locatetl by th« County Agent : i and came mostly from Cape May ' t County, but some corn was secur- i - ctl from Delaware, Pennsylvania i I ami Central Jersey. ! IsisC fall the corn of each plot • was husked ami wcighetl and the ' • yields computed on an acre basis, 1 '■ allowing 72 pounds of "corn-on-the ' ' oar" for one bushel of actual corn. 1 J j At that time 35 pounds of each ■ ' variety was kept for spring shell- 1 ling, to show the Iosh of water and 1 ' cob. Thus weight of shelled I ! as shelletl in April shows the ' I I shelling percentage of each variety ■ applying each percentage to the full weight the amount of act- , j ual shelletl corn in the Spring can . ; be found. 1 j The figures of W. S. Thompson's plot in Goshen is available at this time and ia given below. Fall Sprins Man". Con- Whit* — H "
