JAPANESE NOTE
FULLY ANALYzED
BY PARTMENT
WILSON and BRYAN BUSY
No PrOCraStinatiOn In Case,
They Say

Washington, D. c., June 7.-Secrc-
tary Bryan returned from Pittsburg
today and prepared to take up with
Counsellor Moore Japans latest note
on the California anti-alien land leg
islation. In the verbal exchanges be-
tween the secretary and Ambassador
Chinda and between the ambassador
and President Wilson, the state de-
partment has been to some extent pre-
pared for the newest points made by
the Tokia foreign office
But because of their novelty, such
as that relating to the fourteenth
amendment and fine distinctions
sought to be drawn between the rela-
tive functions of the national and
state governments, the rejoinder must
be carefully analyzed before any Sc
rious effort can be made to draft a
reply
The administration, however, has
no disposition to lay itself open to the
charge of procrastination, so Secra-
tary Bryan and President Wilson will
almost immediately devote them
selves to preparation of a legal argii-
ment to cover the Japanese rejoinder
as far as that may be done.
Except for the possible adverse ef-
feet upon the general relations be-
tween the United States and japan

FEEDSTUFFS CROP
DECREASING FAST
Agricultural Reports Show
GeOrgia'S Loss

That Georgia is each year raising
less feedstuff for domestic animals
TIA it consumes and becoming more
deuendcnt on other parts of the coun-
try is shown by reports of the state
department of agriculture. At the
1lesent rate at which feedstuff
stamps are being sold more than TO-
OOG tons Of feed will be shipped into
Georgia from outside states than was
received last year
Stamp sales from January / to May
81. 1918, amounted to $17,3920S,
against 11,331.SO for the same period
of 1912. The total stamp sales for
1912 were $26, ,55O2O. At this rate the
total for 1913 will amount to $40,-
621.SO, an increase of $14O71.6O.
Stamps are placed on concentrated
commercial feedstuffs shipped into
the state. The present rate of in
crease will make the increase more
than 10000 tons for this year.
practically all of this feedstuif
could be raised in Georgia said j. j.
Brown, assistant commissioner OF
agriculture. "The increase over last
year will be more than 10000 tons
This is regrettable and the farmers Of
Georgia should busy themselves.
"There is no reason why all of this
feedstuff should not be raised in this
state, and there is no doubt about the
farmer being able to dispose of every
bit which he raises. 1t would take
many years for Georgia to raise crops
equal to the demand right here at
home"
