FRANCE TO MAKE UP BIG MAN LOSSES —11 Plan to Spend Billion Francs for Additional Power—Re habilitation Project on In FulJ Swing. Paris (U. P.)—A vast project for the electrification of the agricultural regions of France is being prepared by the government. Under the scheme, as outlined by Minister of Agriculture Cheron, the state would arrange credits and aid in placing electric power at the disposal of every farmer. Under the projected law the nation would advance to individuals and re gional syndicates the sum of 600,000, 000 francs. The syndicates and In dividuals would furnish an equal amount—making a total of 1,200,000, 000 francs. The basic object of the scheme is to intensify domestic farm production, to modernize the machinery on farms and thus alleviate the shortage of manpower resulting from France’s war losses. If the scheme is success ful, within a few years the country side would be a network of electric power lines reaching tens of thou sands of farms and furnishing them with power for labor saving ma chinery. Cheron’s idea is that France must garner from her own soil the means of rehabilitating the country and ren dering France economically indepen dent and the only method is to mod ernize and intensify production. According to the tentative plans* the state loans would be for a period of not under 30 years at a rate not to exceed 4 per cent. Agricultural authorities predict that such electrification would im mensely increase France’s production of foodstuffs and enable her to be come a big exporter, because at pres ent, despite the fertility of the soil, and toilsome labor by the peasants, production is unsatisfactory, owing to the use of old fashioned farm ma chinery. In many places oxen are still used in plowing with the same style of p!c»ws that were used 100 years ago. FORMER SIOUX CITY MAN GIVEN PROMOTION Aberdeen. S. D., March (Spe cial.)—O. N.
