rule, never issued fat more subversive
of human rights, more defiant of all
principles of International law, more
calculated TO breed needless trouble
and embroil peaceful peoples in strife

versy. 1t Is fraught with the most
tremendous, the most disastrous con-
sequences, not merely to the United
States, but to the whole Of Europe. |

has to do with colonizing, extending
power. The Venezuelan question is

A country For Rye.

Grand Forks News: The News has
been insisting that farmers should raise
some rye, in imitation of Farmer Stokes
who has in 60 acres growing on his big
farm north of the city. Rye -four is high
or than wheat -four and our bakers would
give the homo product the preference.
If in country like Red River valley
where wheat crops are seldom or never
failures from drouth, people over that
way raise it at better profit that wheat
how much more profitable and safer it
would be on the Missouri slope where dry
spells sometimes injures the growing
crops. Rye can stand more drou:h than
any other grain crop that can be grown
in this section.
