Grain Elevators For France Are Being Planned COULOMMIERS, France, Nov. 26. France Is to have a modem sys tem oi grain elevators, strange as it may seem there are but few ele vo trr. ttt TiVan atiri mntt rtf tVtnca that are modern are at the ports France's wheat crop Is stored rather haphazardly. Jean Hennes-sy, minister- of agriculture, told a congress of farmers here that the government, would help to build enouch up-to-date elevators to iJinandle 30.000.000 bushels, a tenth of cars iiaticsi. Ikl. l L. . . It is the lack of storace facilities to which Hennessv thinks is duiL.rtt mucii oi me wiue iiucvuauuu jji rain prices. Small farmers sell 8 lelr wheat immediately after har vest and the market Is glutted. The government has an "agricultural credit fund to loan on warenouse receipts but as there aren't many warehouses the fund is of slight use. Wheat is sacked as soon as threshed. Part of the crop is threshed as soon as it has dried after harvesting, but much of it Is stored In the stalk in barns and sometimes In the open, protected with a roof of straw. The loss is heavy through dampness and deterioration. Shortage of threshing machines has much to do with this condition. To remedy this Minister Henneaay Is encouraging co-operative owning of modern threshing machines. Old-fashioned threshing, with a horse turning a machine genera tions old still is used In many parts of France. Now and then one sees hand threshing, the beating with fulls of the grain scattered on a spot of smooth ground. Much of the hand threshed grain is damaged by the flails.

Nov. 26 The Ram- sav Macdonald government has made a good start by capturing the imagination oi tne enure woria with its fearless policies and there is every reason to believe that it: will remain In office for a lona time.

It is posslb'e that none of a six months' tour of Canada and!hn bov mentioned towns will is staying here for a short holiday before returning home. The new government of Great Britain, as Mr. Steele terms it. is iraDDlInK with he.-culean problems in a businesslike manner and. with resolute determination, has already demonstrated that it is entitled to:cring peace by creatine a new a fair break in the eniorcement or its policies. The leaders of the Liberal and Conservative parties are too astute to join forces to defeat the new government, Mr. Steele believes, as such a move would undoubtedly react against them and In all probability result in the Labor party being returned to power with an overwhelming majority.
