CHICAGO. Til.. Dec. 1. The ag
ricultural and financial representa
tives of the heart of the corn belt
met here today with Secretary Jar
dine of the department of agricul
ture and other government offi
cials to discuss ways and means
or enabling the farmers to cash In
their record breaking corn
cron of this year by a process of
orderly marketing.
Government machinery to expand
credit facilities so that the farmer
might hold or feed his corn In
stead of sacrificing it at 50 cents
a bushel, was set in motion.
Coolldgo Sends Greeting
President Coolldge sent his greet
ings to the conference and ex
pressed through Secretary Jardine
"the hope and expectation that out
of the conference will come con
structive help."
Tho Iowa bankers, business men
and farm leaders adopted resolu
tions 'reaffirming their faith in
the richest arrlcultural state in
the union (Iowa), again normal in
.business and its banks stronger
than ever before In cash resources
and liquid assets.
Capital Stock S250.000
Two national agricultural credit
corporations, to be located at Fort
Dodge and Des Moines, Iowa, with
capital stock of $250,000 each
.were organized and granted char
ters and the stock all subscribed
at tho meeting. These two banks, I
under the federal Intermediate
.credit will be able to take farm
paper up to $5,000,000 with corn
In tho crib or livestock In tho feed
ing pens as collateral.
Tho. organization of the two agr
icultural credit corporations, It
.was emphasized by the Iowa bank
ers, was not to bo taken as a re
flection of depression in Iowa, but
merely to handle "the turnover of
agriculture" along the lines of
metropolitan business and help the
farmer realize the utmost on his
Jieavy corn crop, either as cash
grain or as feed for livestock to be
.marketed later.
Fifty Ccntfl Too Law
. The report to Secretary Jardine
jot the investigation of the Iowa
situation by A. C. Williams of the
farm loan board and N. A. Olsen
of the bureau of agriculture econ
omics, concluded with the state
ment that the "federal intermedi
ate crop bank (of Omaha) is pre
pared to accept farm storage cer
tificates of grain as collateral to
notes of solvent farmers, following
Hie plan of tho Iowa corn crib
credit act.
"We are here," said Secretary
Jardine, In opening the conference,
"to devise methods to enable the
farmer to market his corn In or
derly fashion. Fifty cents a bushel
for corn is too low. Between now
and the next crop some one Is go
ing to get better prices for this
year's corn crop and it should be
the farmer."

BERLIN, Dec. 1. Should WIU
liam Hohenzollern return to Ger
many as a private citizen he prob
ably will find a beautiful castle
set aside for him at Homburg-Van-Der-Hoehe,
near Frankfort.
This is one of the interesting pro
visions of the bill which the Prus
sian finance ministry has framed
for introduction into the diet for
final settlement tof the Hohenaol
lern family's claims.
This bill, which the Hphenzol
lerns already have agreed to ac
cept, provides for a cash payment
ot 30,000,000 marks (about J7,
.150,000) and the restoration of
three palaces and other property
of the erstwhile ruling house.
One clause of the bill provides
that the state place the castle and
park of Homburg at the disposal
of the former kaiser as a residence
for himself and his wife during
their life time.
The Homburg castle Is regarded
as one of the most artistically ar
ranged castles in Germany.
Under the Prussian . govern
ment's bill, the former crown
prince Frederick William will re
tain only his estate at Oels, in
Silesia, with the valuable lands at
tached. But for him, his wife,
children and grandchildren, the
state proposes to set aside Cecll
ienhof castle, near Potsdam. The
state would retain the title to both
.Homburg and CeciUenhof.

PANAMA CANAL BLAMED FOR
ROAD'S FAILURE
(By The Associated Press)
WASHINGTON, Dec. 1. H. E.
Byram, former president and pow
a receiver of the Chicago, Mil
waukee and St. Paul railroad, to
day gave his account of the road's
financial disaster to tho interstate
commerce commission.
A major cause of the railroad's
failure early this year to meet Its
obligations, he said, lay In Panama
canal competition with transcon
tinental railroads, with a cessation
of business expansion in the
Northwest, which affected all
railroads in the territory, a con
tributory factor.
Ho defended the railroad's busi
ness policies prior to the received
chip on every point raised during
critical qucstloninlng by J. J.
Hickey, chief of the commission's
bureau of investigation. Telling of
efforts made to avoid tho receiv
ership, Mr. Byram said that the
only way out of the situation
brought about by reduced earnings
was the receivership and the con
sequent writing down of bonded
obligations.

of the Dawes plan the first real
step toward peaco between Ger

(By The Associated Press)
PHILADELPHIA. Dec. 1. An
thracite operators today offered to
resume negotiations with represen
tatives of the striking coal miners
on the basis of plans submitted to

Lewis, president of the miners' or
ganization. In renewing the offer today Ma
jor W. W. Inglis, chairman of the
operators' wage negotiating com
mittee, said It was an open door to
peaco and should furnish the basis
for "tajtlng up anew the differences
which havo kept the mines Idle for
three months."
The plan, which was outlined
yesterday In the operators' letter to
Governor Pinchot. rejecting, his
peace proposals, would provide for
on Immediate return to work at
wages paid prior to suspension, re
sumption of wage negotiations, a
five-year contract and tho refer
ence to. a board for settlement of
any matters In dispute and not dis
posed of within 80 days after the
resumption of negotiations.
"There Is nothing unique In the
plan," said M-'i. Inglis. "It Is
the only fnlr n..aod ot sottling In
dustrial disputes. Mr. Lewis has
declined It, but still has to assign
some good reason for this attitude."
