BRYAN's ACTION
IS INDEPENDENT
FEW OF THE OTHER NATIONS
CARE TO RECOGNIZE CHINA
a. At THIS TIME.

washington, d. c., April 5.--A
least one great power already has de-
clined to join the United States In
recognizing the new Chinese republic
at thiE stage and there II reason to ex-
pect some Of the other powers to take
q similar attitude. One protest has
been lodged against the course to b
taken by the United States but there
exists at some foreign capitals such
doubt Of the success of the attempts
Of the constituent assembly to organ.
lie a complete and stable govern.
ment on April 8 that some Of the
powers deem 1t prudent to withhold
formal recognition for the present, at
least.
The appearance of at least one rival
candidate for tho presidential once,
when it was supposed that Juan Shi
Kai's selection practically WAS assured
with reports Of powerful support for
this new candidate from southern
China, is believed to be the basis for
the hesitation shown by some Of the
powers in dealing with the question or
recognition.
At any rate, It is certain that while
SecretarJ Bryan's proposition will re-
ceive the cordial support OF number
Of the governments addressed by him
there will surely be certain number
OF the powers holding aloof though not
in any sense protesting against the
Independent action of the United
States, s'.f., ..s

DAILY Hints on Farm Topics

time If a grower sets himself resolute-
~ for a number of years to the task Of
selecting from blight-free vines found
growing each year in badly infested
plots it would seem possible to do this.
A to buying seed from seedsmen
rather than to use that which had so
good saving as described,-I think the
man might be quite foolish If he did. II
he could know to certainty that he
was getting seeds from exceptionally
good melons from unusually good fields
it might be wise to do So But large
lot of the melon seed Is saved from
melons that are inferior, are culls, or
are picked late in the season after the
chance to market them to the melon
buyers is gone. This seed is shipped IN
large quantities out of every melon
growing district in the country every
year. Wholesale seedsmen buy this and
it is distributed to retail trade. I'm
doubtedly many an Iowa melon grower
has had his own melon seed sold back
to him al an increased price in just this
very way. In view Of these conditions 1t
would certainly seem wisdom to use
seed such as the inquirer describes
rather than run the risk Of getting
much worse. -, 3.
Sowing Alfalfa After Early Potatoes.
One farmer living near town has
called at the office recently to ask II
it was good practice to sow alfalfa on
a field where early potatoes had just
been harvested. He stated that he had
tried this plan in the past with appar-
emily good success.
In my estimation this is one Of the
very best ways to get good stand of
slfalfa. The potatoes constitute crop
which does not exhaust the soil mOis-
ture so largely as do some of the small
grain crops. Being a cultivated crop
they provide good physical conditions
for the alfalfa to succeed. so. ~,
Chickens Will Eat Alfalfa. 80,
The same farmer who asked the
above question wants to know how to
re-seed some alfalfa that failed to
make stand because the chickens ran
over it. This brings up a point that
shuold be remembered when trying al
falfa for the first time-that is not to
sow the seed where chickens or pigs
can run over it until the second season
CT the results will generally be unsat
isfactory. A flock Of good live chickens
will be on the plot at daylight every
morning waiting for the first leaf to
appear to be picked off. ..o,

Aarrowinu Fall Wheat.

Narrowing fall wheat or rye to
break up the crust and prevent the
evaporation Of moisture is splendld
practice The work should be done as
soon as the surface of the field Is in ex-
cellent condition for working. The har-
rowing should be done with the harrow
set quite slanting, the aim being to
break the crust and fill up the cracks
and checks in the soil. If one has sown
clover on this crop early In the season
this narrowing will help to cover the
clover seed and insure stand. If the
ground seems very loose on wheat or
rye field 1t is sometimes advisable 70
roll it. The roller should always be FOL
lowed with drag harrow in order that
the surface may be left rough thar
"blowine OUT may not occur. A tool
that is sometimes used to take the place
OF both the drag and the harrow Is the
corrugated roller. There are several
types Of this tool made but probably
one Of the best is the one made up with
a rolling surface, formed from small
gas pipes.
Melon Diseases.
A few days ago a man called at the
Crop Improvement association office to
inquire what could be done to treat
melon seed for the wilt or blight. There
is no treatment of the seed, so far as
known, that will be efficacious in this
trouble. One can treat onion seeds for
smut but so far as have been able to
learn no results have been achieved IN
treating melon seeds. =
Should ! Buy Ny Melon Seed?
This is another question that has
come up at the association office with
In the last few days. The party asking
went on to explain that he had saved
good lot of watermelon seed from some
exceptionally good melons. except that
the specimens were sunburned, max
ing them more or less unmarketable.
For that reason he used them to save
seed from. He. had been told that he
would have more blight il he used seeds
that were home grown. ,.
In answer to the mans question II
may be said that the probable solution
Of the melon blight trouble lies In the
selection and breeding of restraint
strains. The Colorado growers have
been able to do this in their cantalopue
work. In the opinion of the ritter the
same thing can be accomplished with
watermelons with due patience and
