GERMAN PROPOSAL or
PEACE MADE TO FRANCE

London. Oct. 80 u2;55 u. M The
Daily Chronicles Paris correspondent
asserts that with view TO detach-
ing France from the allies, Germany
made an offer 10 conclude peace on
the basis Of the cessation OF Metz and
possibly portion of Asacc to France.
The offer. according TO the correspon'
dent was rejected
The proposal, the correspondent
says. was conveyed to certain lnflu-
entail lerenchmen who were expected
10 act as Intermediates The pr0po-
sal was that the German government,
recognizing the courage of the French
armies and never having regarded
France as principal enemy was
ready to make peace on terms not
merely honorable but generous for
the republic. These terms would in
clude the transfer of Metz and the
neighboring portion OF Lorraine.

TREAT SEED CATS FOR SMiT.
4 Practical. and Inexpensive Method Which
 Anyone Cau Use.
(By Martin Nelson, Director, Arkanses
 Experi nent Station)

(By Martin Nelson, Director, Arkanses
 Experi nent Station.)
 Many oats in the state last year were severely damaged by smut. The loss due to this disease was needless because it is easily pre- vented. Treating the seed with fornaldehyde before planting is practical and effective.
 First: Mix one pound Gone pint of formaldehyde with forty gallons of water in large size barrel.
 Second: Put bushel or more of oats in a two bushel bag. "A cheap gunny sack of very coarse open material. )
 Third: Dip bag and oats into the solution and shake up and down until all oats are thoroughly wet. Elevate and drain.
 Fourth: Allow the oats to re- main in the bag for about two hours, or empty in heap and leave for about two hours.
 Fifth: Spread them out to dry. When nearly dry. drying may be hastened by sprinkling them with thoroughly air slacked lime.
 Sixth: Sow about ten per cent more per acre to allow for the swelling,
 Seventh: The machinery and receptacles to be used in handling the oats after they are treated should first be thoroughly eleansed W tn the solution.
 Note: Mix the solution just be- fore using. Apply the treatment just before seeding.
 For convenience a bully may be erected directly over the open end of the barrel and through it a rope can be used for dipping. shaking and draining the bags of oats. Another method sometimes used in treating seed with formaldehyde consists of spreading the seed out in three inch layer on smooth clean floor. sprinkling them with the solution, and then shoveling back and forth to insure contact of all seed with the solution. The treated seed are then shoveled into pile and covered with sacks or canvas to keep the gas enclosed. After six or eight hours the covers are removed and the oats spread out to dry.

County Fairs to Aid.

County fairs throughout Arkan- sas will aid in the campaign to raise the $lOO,OOO for the Arkansas Exhibit at the Panama Exposition. It has been suggested that they set aside day to be known as State Exhibit Day. A speaker will be furnished by the fair commission CTS, or at the suggestion of Gov ernor Hays, who will address the county fair that day and tell of the benefits of a state exhibit at San Francisco. A division of gate re- ceipts for that day could be ar ranged so that part would go to the state exhibit fund. Governor Hays will himself visit as many as possible of the county fairs on those dates.

Arkansas State Indebtedness.

The United States Department of Commerce and Labor has just completed a report giving the in debtedness of the different states of the Union, the nation and the world.
