THOSE PEACE TREATIES

Secretary Bryan has a good record
to send down in history, and espe-
cially that part relating to the peace
treaties. He has negotiated % of
them and is about to add four more,
that four being England France,
Spain and China. So we will have rs
peace treaties that will stand as a
bulwark against war. These treaties
propose, when diplomacy fails to set
tie any question between this and the
other countries, there shall be an in
vestigation by accredited agents on
both sides of the controversy, to see
If the dispute can not be peacefully
settled, and in the meantime the two
nations shall refrain from all warlike
movements.
The adea Is to investigate and dur
ing the time necessary to confer. the
war fever will let up. 1t will every
time. Give the passions time to cool
and they will cool. All the nations,
including those now at war in Europe,
except Austria-Hungary, have signifi-
ed their consent to enter into this ar
rangement. On the basis of these
treaties, the United States need never
go to war. 1t can stop building its
dreandaughts and dismiss its NAVY.
There will be no more need of any
ships, except the ships of peace

HAVE YOU CATARRH?
IT'S Dangerous Disease-Hyomei is
the Effective Remedy

checked surely spreads to the delicate
lining of the air passages, and fire.
quently destroys the hearing.
To cure catarrh you must have
something that will quickly reach the
diseased tissues, kill the germs, and
drive out the poison.
Hyomei is just such remedy. Be-
ing a mixture of antiseptic oils that
you breathe through a small inhaler
its health-restoring medication cannot
help going direct to the raw and in
famed lining of the nose and throat,
quickly relieving that chocked-up feel

and healing the sore spots-you

pleasant or so satisfying as Hyomei.

CITRUS FRUIT ESTIMATE

The estimates from Florida run
from 100000 to 100000 boxes of
fruit; not much increase in oranges,
but about so per cent increase in
grapefruit over last year.
California is looking for a some
what lighter crop than year ago,
about 10000 cars, which, roughly
figured, would mean about 10000 900
boxes of oranges and lemons, grape
fruit cutting no figure in the Cali
fornia shipments. OF this amount
there will probably be something like
5000 cars of lemons.
Other citrus sections of this coun-
try cut very little figure. Oranges are
raised in Texas, Louisiana, Missippi
and Alabama. The Louisiana crop
will run close to 100000 boxes, but
the output from other states is hard
ly worth considering at this time.
The crop on the Isle of Pines, al
most wholly grapefruit, has been in
creasing rapidly, and must be con-
sidered as a factor even now, though
in years to come it will be such as to
make the growers there serious COM
petitors of Florida pomelo men. This
year they expect to ship 100000
boxes; this fruit going by steamer
direct to New York and being sold
wholly in that city.
Porto Rico shipped to New York
last season $4,000 boxes of oranges
and 10000 boxes of grapefruit. The
growers are claiming that they will
have a so per cent crop increase this
season.

But Grady was the apostle of de-

AS GREATEST GOOD
AMERICA Is GRASS

The negro, the diamond, and certain
grains introduced in this country
from the Dark Continent may have
proven to be of great value. but what
promises to be the most valuable
thing for the American farmer COM
ing from Africa is plant supposed to
be the parent of the sorghum family,
and native of the Sudan country.
1t was discovered by the experts sent
out by the United States Department
of Agriculture searching all parts of
the world for plants of value to the
American farmer.
In 1909 a few seeds were sent to
Texas and distributed among the sew
eral experimental stations under the
general direction of the A. and NJ. Col
legt. The report uniformly placed
this new grass at the head of the list,
and after being subjected to all sorts
of severe tests it was pronounced su-
perior to anything among the grasses.
The Farmers Congress next passed
upon it with enthusiastic favor, and
soon every progressive farmer in the
Southwest was wanting the seed,
which became so scarce that last
year it sold for 81 to 81 per pound.
1t is cheaper this season with probab-
ly one and one-half million pounds of
seed grown in Texas. Every one who
grew it last season expects to SOW it
the next, so the demand is still on the
increase in this and other parts of the
country Wherever tried it produces
more and better hay to the acre than
any other grass known, and it is ex
pected to cover the entire country as
no other grass has ever done. This
year experiments have been made by
agricultural stations from Maryland
to Oregon with astonishing success.
While it is presumed to grow more
luxuriantly with a larger number of
cuttings each season in the Southern
States, some of the best results have
come from the Northwestern states.
1t grows from to 10 feet high and
yields to tons of dry hay per acre,
making it very desirable for the stock
raiser, and under ordinary conditions
produces from 400 to 1000 pounds of
seed per acre.
This Sudan grass resembles the
oldtime Johnson grass in general ap-
pearance as well as the sorghums,
but possesses all of their merits with
none of the Objectionable features. Be
ing an annual, it dies down every year
so does not become a pest, but may
be grown where most desired. 1t ma
lures in IS to 80 days from sowing
and makes an abundant supply of ex-
cellent forage, silage and hay All
kinds of live stock prefer it to alfalfa
hay and poultry like the seed. 1t is
well adapted to the arid regions, does
fine in the rain belt, prairie and hill
country. In fact, seems to grow rea-
sOnably we'll in all kinds of soil in the
south, East, North and West. 1t is
indeed wonderful grass and worthy
of a trial by everyone who can pro-
cure the seed. 1t is the grass that
laughs at drought and smiles at rain.
