) BALKAN PEACE POT " AGAIN SIMMERING O Tsue of Macedonian Tnde- pendence Arises BY L. A. BROPHY (Associated Press Feature Editor) Washington, Dec. 13 P—The Bal- | kan pot is simmering again with the old issue of Macedonian indepen- dence applying the steam. Ivan Michailoff, - leader of the! belligerent faction of the Macedo- nian revolutionary party, has re- opened violently the question that| has stirred the Balkans for' years' with his tirades against certain members of the Bulgarian govern-| ment at Sofia, the country's capital, and threats to march on the city. Macedonta, which never has ex- isted as an organic state, has been an irritant in the cross-fire of vexa- tious questions that have embroiled the Balkans since 1893 when the revolutionary party came into ex- istence. The territory historically known as Macedonia today consists of the southern tip of Jugoslavia, a part of north central Greece and a small | slice of Bulgaria. . | Michalloff, at the town of Pet-! ritch, is in Bulgarian territory. The Macedonian revolutionary party has been known as a virtual sovernment within a government. | Its announced purpose is and has been to create an independent Macedonian state. When that happens, say the party members, it will make possible the | creation of an effective Balkan | confederation, which admittedly ; would result in more family peace in the Balkans. The federation is conceived as consisting of the states of independent Macedonia, Jugo- slavia, Greece, Bulgaria, Serbla and | the other odds and ends of Balkan possessions, Enemies of the party deny that aim. They assert the group seeks to deliver Macedonia to Bulgaria. Jugoslavia has protested to Bul- garia time and again to put down | the activities of the militant wing | of the revolutionary party, declar- ing the fermentation creeps over the | border. 1In reply, it has been point- ed out that Bulgaria’s standing army under treaty regulations consists of | only 12,000 men. There is another thing: a great many Bulgarian sol- | diers are Macedonian: There has been dissension in the | revolutionary party and a section of the Sofia government has been urged to strike at the group while it seems to be divided. That, it is believed led to the renewed ac- tivity of Michailoff. | The story of Macedonia is one of treaty and counter-treaty, of war and counter-struggle since 1878, when the treaty of Berlin created a much greater Bulgaria than ithe present country, exténding into Jugoslavia. It was a Turkish prin- ‘ cipality. There were other shuntings back | and fourth between then and 1908, but at that time, Bulgaria threw | off the Turkish yoke. In 1912, Serbia, Bulgaria and Greece defeated Turkey and what was left of that country's posses- sions in the embroiled area—Mace- | donia, Thrace and Eastern Thrace ——were ceded to the three allies. The second Balkan war, a year later, found Grecce and Serbia aligned against Bulgaria, and the treaty of Bucharest gave to the victorious first two countries most of that territory which had been known as Macedonia. Now, Bul- garia has only a small part of Mace- donia, 1t Macedonia were to become an fndependent state, something that few can conceive, it would mean taking a good portion of territory away from Jugoslavia and from Greece. 'The inflammable effects of the controversy on Balkan peace are admittedly great.

Weight of Soybean Bayb Tripled by Inoculation ' Middleburg, Va., Dec. 13 UP—F, R. Fred, a farmer near Middleburg, points to a personal experience thu' shows the benefit of inoculating soy- bean seed with nodule bacteria. After planting the major portion of a 30-acre field on the tep of a bigh hill with inoculated seed, Fred found his supply of soybeans ex- hausted. While waiting for more, he drilled untreated seed. . Long before harvest fhe result became visible to the whole country- side. From the lowlands and from the opposite hills a great yellow square became more and more dis- tinct as the'acres planted with inocu- lated seed grew steadily greener and darker and the plans from untreated seed grew yellower and brighter. Whn harvested, a plot of hay from as much as hay from the same sized plot of untreated seed. Rye Kings Preparing To Hold Sovereignty South Manitou, Mich., Dec. 13 (#— Marking time on their 12¥-acre farm, 10 miles from the mainland in Lake Michigan, George Hutzler, and his son, Lewis, “Michigan's rye kings,” are preparing to defend their crown against all challengers at the international grain and hay show in Chicago December 1 to 8. For six of the last seven years the Hutzlers have gone to the Chi- cago show and returned with the rye championship of the United States and Canada. They supply the only registered Rosen rye seed that can be obtained in the United States. Their farm is segregated from the rest of the world, on South Manitou 1sland, and no pollen from other rye fields is carried to their own to be- come crossed with the pure Rosen strain. While yields are not heavy on their light-sandy soil. the culture is pure and for many years the quality has been better than any other rye producer could boast. branch of the navy's technical serv- Ilinr ordnance.” IT'S A BIG CHRISTMAS IN |lnoqullted seed weighed three times e BIG OUTPUT OF WATCHES New York, Dec. 13 (P—Watches and clocks prodwced in the United States this year will have a’ value in excess of $80,000,000, almost equal to the combined output of Switzerland and Germany, the closest competitors.
