the work of participation. Congress
has given the States three- years' in
which to get themselves in position
to do this.
Hon. John N. Holder, the disting
uished chairman of the. State High

ty approval of the plan for a state
bond issue by which Georgia can con
tinue to get her share of the Federal

—each Georgia county that has issu
ed bonds will got its money back, the
State taking over the entire county-

issue will cost the taxpayers nothing,

Mansion house of representatives of
the Southern Irish constituencies, who
formally ratified the treaty, Eamon J.
Duggan, took the Dublin castle, a copy

PLAN STABILIZING
PRICES FOR CROPS
DI8CU8SION WILL BE THOROUGH
LY GONE INTO AT MEETING
TO COME OFF SOON
SUGGEST INSURANCE
Former Experiments Of Insurance, Say
Experts, Have Proven Sueceeq—Will
Present Other Important Feature*
Washington.—Insurance of crops as
a method of stabilising prices of farm
products Is expected to be one of many
suggestions put forward at the national
agricultural conference which opens
here January 22, for Inclusion in a
permanent national farm policy. Dis
cussion within tho conference would
bo expected to develop whether the
proponents would recommend that tho
lnsnranco bo carried by *.he farmers
cooperatively, by private companies,
or through government aid.
Hall Insurance has already been
tried by: tobacco growers and storm
Insurance lu In force In some sections
of the West, but experts expect that
the suggestion will be presented for
the first time for an insurance against
all crop risks.
Crop Insurance has been tested to
a certain extent, It was declared, both
by mutual companies and by private
lnsuranoe companies and agricultural
experts declare It has proven success
ful.
Balancing production with consump
tion is another Important topic which
tho conference leaders expect will
come up. The relation of the supply
of orops and foodstuffs to markets
has long bden studied and suggestions
which are likely to come from confer
ence delegates, It was said, will range
from acroago limitation to a more
careful study of world production and
consumption. Along with these would
bo crop surveys In America which
would enablo tho producers, In the
opinion of agricultural leaders, In ad
vance of crop planting, to gauge tho
consumption demnnd.
The importance of developing sta
tistical Information was pointed out
by exports In discussing this subjact.
They said that for n number of yanrs
figures-on production have been fairly
complete, but similar data on con
sumption has been sby.
Valorization, or price fixing, was
said to he on the minds of several
delegates. Bills on this subject now
before congress and suggestions from
tho outHlde have come for minimum
price guarantees for certain staple
commodities as wheat, corn, cotton
and tlin liko.
Extension of the co-oporatlvo move
ment also Is oxpectcd to ho proposod
to tho conference. Smaller co-opera
live organizations have proven suc
cessful, agricultural authorities said,
and ndvoeatoa of extension of the
movement will bo In tho gathering of
delegates.
