GERMANY HAS ASKED UNITED
STATES TO QUERY THE ALLIES
Makes Informal Request That England France and Russia
Be Sounded as to Terms Of Peace:

lor's remarks from recollection,
which substantially were as follows:
Appreciates Interest.
Germany appreciated the Ameri-
can governments interest and offer
of services in trying to make peace.
Even if she defeats France she must
vanquish Great Britain and Russia
also, as all three have agreed not to
make peace except by common con-
sent. England has announced that
she intends to fight to the limit OF
her endurance. In view of that de-
termination the United States ought
to get peace proposals from the al
lies Germany could accept only a
lasting peace, one that would make
her people secure against future at
tacks. To accept mediation now
would be interpreted by the allies as
q sign of weakness and also would be
misunderstood by the German peo-
pie, who, having made great sacri-
fees, had the right to demand guar
antees of security"

LEVY OF 40 CENTS A POUND is
PROPOSAL OF COMMITTEE.
On All Exceeding Fifty Per Cent of
This Years Crop, or Instead May
Assess $4,000 Per Acre.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Members
of the congressional cotton confer
ence committee tonight postponed
until tomorrow consideration Of the
plans suggested by special commit
tee for federal taxation to restrict the
production of cotton next year.
Owing to the failing market this
year because of the war it is deemed
imperative by senators and repre-
sentatives from cotton growing states
that there should be short crop next
year in order to avert surplus and
decentralization of prices.
A special committee composed Of
Senators Williams, White and Clarke
of Arkansas, and Representatives
Hardwick and Burgess has reported
that federal imposition of prohlbl-
tive tax on production would be con-
stitutional They propose that a tax
of 10 cents a pound should be levied
next year on all cotton in excess OF
so per cent of this years produc-
ton or that a tax of $40 an acre
should be assessed on acreage plant
ed with cotton in excess of so per
cent of this years acreage.
The cotton conference is to discuss
the advisability of submitting bill
to congress.

COTTON SEED SELECTION
IMPORTANT TO THE FARMER
Valuable Suggestions Offered Georgia Planters By
Board Of Entomology.

Atlanta, Ga.-Georgia farmers have
already begun to select their cotton
seed for next years planting, and the
State Board of Entomology is offering
Its aid by furnishing rules and sugges-
lions bearing on this important work.
All Of the Boards rules are based
on practical experiments, and If care
fully followed by the farmers will ma
terially help in increasing individual
acreage yields and in eliminating plant
pests and diseases generally from the
fields of this state.
The important points to be consid-
cred, says State Entomologist E. Lee
Worsham, are resistance to black root
or wilt disease; resistance to root
knot and anthracnose; fruitfulness and
earliness; percentage, length and
strength Of lint; type Of plant and dis
tribution Of fruit ON the plant.
The best place to make selections
from resistant strains Is in the spots
where the ordinary cotton dies the
most, and then select the hardest and
best developed plants.
Root knot or nematode worms may
be starved out by rotation of crops,
while the best way to guard against
this pest in selection is by choosing
stalks which are not stunted.
Anthracnose is to be especially
avoided. This is a fungus disease
which causes the bolls to rot. Crop ro-
tation and careful seed selection are
the best protection against this dis
ease. A plant affected by anthracnose
should not be selected even though it
is resistant to wilt and we'll fruited.
After the above mentioned diseases
are guarded against, the department
urges the selection Of the most fruitful
stalks with view to increasing the
acreage yield
In the face of the boil weevl ad-
vance it is of vital importance, paTt1c-
ular1y in Southwest Georgia, to plant
early varieties. Early resistant cot
ton may be obtained by selections
from wilt resistant strains Of the ear
lest maturing varieties.
While in upland cotton length OF
staple is not so important as in long
staple, the staple should not be less
than rs of an inch long. The strength
can be tested by hand. No stalk
sfAould be selected which yields less
than SO 1-3 per cent Of lint The only
satisfactory way to determine quality
of lint is to gin each stalk separately
with a hand gin.

WASHINGTON, D. Germany
has suggested informally that the
United States should undertake to
elicit from Great Britain, France,
and Russia a statement of terms I'M
der which the allies would make
peace.
The suggestion was made by the
Imperial Chancellor, Won Bethmann
Hollweg, to Ambassador Gerard at
Berlin as result of an inquiry sent
by the American government to learn
whether Emperor William desired to
discuss peace, as Count Won Bern
storff, the German ambassador and
Oscar Straus recently had reported.
Emperor William himself made no
reply nor did the Imperial Chancellor
indicate whether he spoke on behalf
of his monarch. Ambassador Gerard
cabled President Wilson the Chancel-
The Dawson news. (Dawson, Ga.) 1889-current, 1914-09-22

AS to type OF plant, the best stalks
to select are those having long fruit
ing limbs close to the ground with
joints close together. The fewer large
stalky branches the stalk has, the bet
ter. providing the fruiting branches
are more numerous. 1t is best to Sc
lect the plants that have most or the
fruit on the lower part Of the stalk
for such begin fruiting early.
To maintain the resistant quality,
roguing should be practiced. That IS,
the diseased and stunted stalks should
be cut out about July list and August
1st to prevent crossing with the resist
ant plants.
The proper ginning Of cotton select
ed for seed Is very important. A hand
gin should be used, IL possible, as this
does away with danger OF adulteration
or mixture with diseased seed. II the
seed cotton is ginned in a public gin
all the seed should be removed from
the breast of the gin and other parts
before the cotton Is run through, ana
the seed should be allowed to drop on
the floor or in a sheet; 1t should never
be run through the seed-carrying auger
The State Board has small gin run
by electricity and will gin free any In
diyidual selections the farmer may
send. The board will also be glad, Mr..
Worsham states, to assist any farmer
in making individual selections. Far
ties desiring to secure some OF the
State Boards resistant seed this winter
shonld write to the office Of the State
Entomologist here.
AS an illustration of what can be
done through seed selection and proper
breeding, the State Department
of Entomology, through Mr.. A.
C. Lewis, assistant, has de-
yeloped a new cotton called "Dlxa-
fiji" which is a combination OF Dixie
and Egyptian, and makes a long staple
upland variety. This cotton grown from
seed furnished by the state Depart
ment, has a staple l IA inches long,
and is now in good demand at IA cents
a pound. 1t will bring even more.
The department has a small quantity
of this seed on hand which 1t Will sup
pIy to growers as long as it lasts.
If any cotton grower making a spe-
cialty Of seed selection, desires 1t and
will write to the department, special
representative will be sent to his
farm and will render all possible assist

COLUMBUS, Ga.-Just what is a
progressive democrat? So many peo-
pie have harped on the term, and it
cut such figure in the recent Macon
convention, that Henry R. Gotechus
of Columbus, Ca, wrote to House
Leader Oscar w. Underwood to ask
his Interpretation of the term.
Mr.. Underwood replied: Il do not
think there is any desire on the part
of the president of the United States
to draw a political line between those
who supported him before the nom1-
nation and those who did not, but 1t
is human nature for some of his pre-
convention supporters to make the
most of their position for their per-
sonal political advantage, and as the
president is popular in the country
of course, it is effective.
There are so many different peo-
pie calling themselves progressive
democrats that are going in different
directions that I am unable to dehne
what the average man means Wheh
he says he is a progressive democrat:
So far as / am personally con2erned
I have believed that the great prlncl-
ples of the democratic party were "a
yorable to the masses of the people,

crat of any kind to explain his polit-

UNDERWOOD HAS
GOOD ROADS DAY

Last Friday was good roads day in
the Underwood district. At II 80
O'Clock Friday morning the following
good roads enthusiasts arrived at Un.
derwood and viewed the Hood View
road leading to White Salmon: Sam
Hill, State Highway Commissioner Roy,
Skamanla County Commissioners Boyd
and Willard, j. W. Shipley and How
ard Gates. Alter looking over the
scenic Hood View road. they were
transported in a big touring car over
the magnificent road leading from I'M
derwood to the home of MIR. and Mrs.
Ii. F. Suekney, Highland Orchards.
Stops were made en- route at the
homes of II. A. Hussey, A. j. Haynes.
j. W. Shipley and II. W. Hamlin. At
every point the visitors expressed their
delight at the beautiful scenery.
At Highland Orchards Mrs. Stickney
and Mrs. Hamlin served the party with
luncheon, after which they were trans
ported to the Gates ranch in mountain
hacks. An evening dinner awaited
them there. The party was then taken
to Cooks over the new state aided
highway. All boarded the train at
Cocks, bound to Maryhlll, the country
estate of Sam Hill.
In speaking of the tour of the visit
ing road enthusiasts, Harry f. Stickney
says:
Both Mr.. Hill and State Highway
Commissioner Roy were very much
impressed with the wonderful advance
made in road work in our section in
the past two years and gave attentive
ear to the arguments of the present
county commissioners and the prospec-
tive commissioner, MIR. Shipley. 1t is
not saying too much to state that Port
land will be connected with Klickitat
county points by state highway with
in a year or two. The men in charge
of this big state work have to be
shown and they say they surely were
Friday. They went home with more
conviction than ever that we need the
highway for which they pledge their
best efforts"

UNUSUALLYQUIET

FEW PRIMARY CONTESTS WARM
Numerous GubematiOral Candidates to
Choose FrOm-LOcal Candidates Fire
Last VOlleys Before the FRAY

While the political pot has been bub-
ollng very slowly in Hood River eoun-
IT, candidates have been mingling with
local citizens the past week, advancing
arguments ard seeking votes for the
primaries tomorrow. Although a small
army of candidates are seeking the gu-
bernatorial nomination, the names of
but few candidates are heard men.
toned. The average voter, in all prob
ability. is not able to name the differ
cnt aspirants. The bewildering num-
Der, perhaps, has had something to do
with the lack of interest of the voter.
so Few have been the expressions as to
the Republican preference among the
local Republican voters that estimates
as to the vote tomorrow are difficult to
make.
Chas. A. Johns will undoubtedly re-
ceive large vote in Hood River coun-
ty from Republicans. MIR. Johns is
we'll known throughout the state. he
has the backing of prominent men in
all sections and will be a formidable
candidate. His well known character
as business man, the sincerity of his
platform announcements and the en-
dorsements he has received are telling
with the voters.
DIR. James Withycombe, former di-
rector of the Oregon Agricultural Col
lege experiment station, is well known
IN Hood River county and is receiving
the support of numeruos local citizens,
many of whom have come in contact
with him at the Agricultural College.
From state wide reports, Gus A.
Moser will be near the top of the Re-
publican ticket at the final count.
Indications from reports throughout
the state point to very warm contest
between Judge A. S. Bennett, of The
Dalles, and DR.. c. J. Smith, formerly
of Pendleton, but who now resides in
Portland.
While DIR. Smith will apparently re-
ceive number of votes here, the choice
of local Democrats will undoubtedly be
Judge Bennett, who has for many years
been regarded as one of the districts
leading citizens.
An interesting contest is presented in
the race for the joint representative
ship from Hood River and Wasco coun-
ties. Two nominations are to be made
from the four candidates DR.. j. e. An
derson and G. II. Stranahan, who seek
reelection and j. l.. Kelly and A. |.
Mason. Mr.. Mason's former record for
the support of freak legislation will
work against him in both counties.
All of the candidates are running inde-
pendently and without any affiliations
with each other.
