Conan Doyle Didn't Think
Danger" Idea Was Loaded

Il pointed out in the story three
different methods by which the dan
ger might be avoided, but war has
come upon us so rapidly that none
of these methods could be adopted.
In the story I place the fact of a
submarine blockade some years
renee. 1t was a story of the future.
my reason was that after study
ing the subject I concluded that the
submarine at present was not capa-
BILE of the results which I depicted,
but is still is my opinion that if this
war had been delayed five years
and if the submarine, during that
time, had gone on improving as rap
idly as it has done in the past,
England would have been placed
in a most serious position exactly
as outlined in the story.
Il am quite sure, in present cir
cumstances, that although We may
possibly lose more ships, the Ger
man blockade can have no serious
effects on the war"
This great war story, of unusual
interest at the present time, is to
be published serially in the News
Budget and the first installment will
be found in this ISSUE The News

TROUBLE DUE OVER
TREATIES IN SENATE
Fight for Open Debate to Be Re-
neWed II Colombian Pact Is
Pressed.

II the Administration this winter
should trv to force the Colombian treaty
through the Senate. there will he
trouble. There also will be opposition to
the Nicaragua treaty, but not so Wig
orous as to the former.
When either of these treaties are
brought up in the Senate. there will be
demand that they be considered in open
session.
From time immemorial. treaties have
been considered in executive sessions
Of the Senate. SO have nominations and
lot of other things. Senator'S even have
been threatened with expulsion IL they
revealed the inner workings OF the exc
cutivc session.
But there Is a growing feeling in the
Senate that the public business ouSnt
to be transacted in the open. and that.
as a matter of fact. there is no excuse
for transacting any Senate business in
secret. Z the country is not to have any
entangling alliances with foreign powers
so 1t is argued. at least-there Is little
reason for shielding the facts from the
public.
Several Senators To Lead.
Several Senators will lead in this ef-
fort who long advocated public sessions
on practically all matters. They con-
ccde only that in a time of great public
danger executive sessions might be ad-
visable-
Whether the effort to get the treaties
considered in the light of day instead of
behind closed doors will succeed or fail.
the opposition to each one OF them will
he strong. Especially will II be to the
Colombian treaty. IT is extremely doubt
full II two-thirds Of the Senate will agree
. to ratifv this treaty.
The Nicaraguan treaty. so Tar as the
concession for canal route goes, has
more support. The indications are that
the recent closing OF the Panama canal
by slides has added strength to the
Nicara guam treaty. because many mem
bers feel that If the Panama canal is
not going to be satisfa ctory as water
way. II may be well to have another
canal route in Uncle Sans grip.
Guardian Needed For Haiti.
So far as Haiti is concerned. the feel
ing is strong in Congress that a long
arm is needed TO hold down the situs-

the Admnistra tons course of sending

republic TO deal with the situation at a
time when Congress was not in session

Summer Tillage as Labor Saver
The principal criticism associated with
summer tillage is that it involves large
amount of extra labor. According to
Philip Held, who is a successful farmer
in Logan county, this criticism is more
apparent than real. Concession is made
that large amounts Of labor are associ-
ated with summer tillage, but during
the three years following deep summer
tillage, the ground is in such condition
that comparatively little labor is needed
for successful production Of crops. No
blowing is done at any time until the
land is plowed again for the next sum-
mer tillage. Just as soon as the first
crop grown on the summer titled land
has been harvested the field is disked.
The object of the disking is to destroy
weeds, reduce losses from evaporation
and to leave the land in suitable tilth
to receive the winter rains and SHOWS.
In the early spring, the land is disked
again and is planted to some kind of cul-
tivated crop, usually corn. Only few
civilizations are needed to keep the
weeds down. After the removal of the
cultivated crop, no cultural operations
are performed until the following spring,
when the land is disked and seeded to q
small grain crop.-James D. Marshall,
Colo. Ag. College.
