TO INCREASE FLOW OF MILK
Essential That Cow Should Have Some

There Is no question but that a COW

be fed. The COW that gives small
average quantity of milk will produce
but little more If fed grain while on

producing COW the case is quite differ.
ent and it Is necessary that she be fed
grain or she will not continue on the
high level Of production long. The
necessity Of feeding grain to the high
producing COW arises from the fact
that she cannot secure sufficient
amount Of nutrients from the grass

trated feed In the form OF grain In or.

MAY LURE RECRUITS BY
USE OF MOVING PICTURE

Washington, May S.-Use of motion
pictures of army life as the medium
through which the 10000 men neces-
sary every year for the military es-
tablishment might be recruited Is ad-
vocated by Major R. G. Croxton, U. s.

the stimulation of interest by the re-
production of actual scenes in camp
and field, better recruits could be
secured fewer recruiting agencies
would be necessary and a great saw

suit.
Major Croxton's plan would include
the display of army films in the pic
ture theatres throughout the country
Each set of films would be accompan
led by a silver-tongued army man, wei
grounded in his subject and capable
of putting the advantages of military
| life in a convincing manner. TIT

Grafton of agricultural problems and

per cent for some of the money that
they borrow to handle their crops
while other of the bankers declared
that this high rate was exceptional
and that loans we're being made al
the lowest possible figures, consistent
with good banking. This and Other

Washington, May S.-First among
Secretary Bryan's callers when he
reaches Washington from Sacramento
today probably will be Viscount Chin
da, the Japanese Ambassador. It has
been assumed that the Ambassador
has been waiting this opportunity to
deliver personally to the Secretary of
State a protest from his government
against the California alien land legis-
lation, but it is believed now the first
effort of the ambassador will be to get
from the Secretary some idea of what
the administration proposes to do after
Gov, johnson signs the land bill, as it
is generally expected he will do. Be-
fore answering this question, however,
Mr.. Bryan must report and confer with
President Wilson regarding his Cali
fornia mission, so he probably will sug-
gest that his conference with Viscount
Chinda be postponed for short time.
It is understood that the effect OF
this will be simply to delay the presen-
tation of the Japanese protest unless
Secretary Bryan is able to suggest
some means of dealing with the pres
ent phase Of the question that will
make the protest unnecessary. 1t has
been suggested that this may take the
form of the proposal to negotiate
new treaty to replace the existing one
A new treaty expressly disclaiming the
right of citizens Of either country tc
acquire real property in the othel
might meet the needs of the case anc
save Japanese pride by removing
ground for the charge of discrimina
tion This, it is pointed out, woult
work hardship upon American mis-
sionary interests and some large busi
ness concerns which now hold rea
estate in Japan under the "superf1ce
law" a modified form Of the American
ground rate system.
Some of the legal minds of the ad
ministration have come to the conclt
sion that in the event the Californi
law is contested in the courts the cas-
must not rest upon the existing treat!
which, they say, the law does not tecl
nically violate, but upon the broa
nrinciples of international law. N
treaty specifically describes all of tn
rights which an alien may enjoy in tn
country of his residence, and in tn
opinion of some of these internationi
lawyers the disregard or violation OF
right common to all civilized peoples
as much a discrimination as a Wilt
disregard of treaty provision.
