adopted and employed by the Asso-
citation Of Official Seed Analysts OF
North America.
Our Kentucky farmers and seeds
men may submit samples to the
Experiment Station for testing,
which will be done free. Because
of the congestion Of work in the
station laboratories, however, the
larger seed concerns are advised To
provide for their own testing.
Circular No. 5 Of the Department
Of Entomology and Botany carries
a short discussion Of the new law,
together with an exposition of APP
proved methods Of sampling, test
ing and labelling seeds. Those in
terested in the production and sale
of farm seeds may obtain the circu-
lar upon application.

PLANTING PEAR TREES.
Good Distance Is Fifteen by Thirty
Feet.

A good distance for planting stand.
ard pear trees Is 10 by 80 feet-that is.
the rows are thirty feet apart and the
trees fifteen feet apart in the rows.
The object Of this method is to obtain
larger crops of fruit from the same
ground until the trees become large
enough to interfere with each other:
then each alternate tree In the row Is
cut out. leaving the trees in the entire
orchard at distance of thirty feet
each way. This system has the advan-
tage Of more fully utilizing the land
for fruit production until the thinning
out becomes necessary. Another plan
is to plant the trees twenty feet apart
each way. This distance will afford
free circulation OF air and abundance
of sunlight. both Of which are essential
to well developed and highly colored
fruit.

A Clod crusher.

1t sometimes happens that land gets
very lumpy or full of clods, and to get
the best results these clods should be
mashed or ground up. To do this a
homemade clod crusher will be found
to do the work in most satisfactory
manner
The accompanying drawing shows
how such a crusher can be made at

THE KENTUCKY PURE SEED LAW

Much to Seed Industry in

The new pure seed law, enacted at

erative this month II is a matter
Of common undcrs' N ling that our
. most needed legsl tion is, almost
invariably, attaIr at cost of
years Of persister patient effort.
The course of the new law, from its
inception to its enc ment, has been
in close conformit With this rule.
The interests of , the farmer
and the scotsman comprehend
ed by the new law rs intention is
10 afford the farmer ample protec-
tion against minated and
worthless seeds r4- at the same
time 10 protect and encourage those
parties engaged in the production
and marketing OF high grade farm
seeds. The reputation and adapta-
ton Of Kentucky for the seeds of
blue grass, sweet clover, hemp and
white hurley tobacco is already
recognized and the operation Of the
pure law is expected TO establish
our seed-producing industry on a
still more secure basis.
Under the provisions OF the new
law seedsmen are permitted TO test
their own seeds and TO use the re-
suits Of these tests upon their tags.

Carranza Accepts Responsibility.

Washington, June 26-The United
States yesterday demanded of the Car
rama government the immediate re-
lease of the American troopers taken
prisoners at Carrizal and that an early
statement of the intentions of the
Carranza government is expected.
The note to Mexico disclosed that the
state department received Saturday a
communication from the de facto
government stating that the Carrizal
fight was the direct result of orders
to attack the American soldiers, NOV
ing otherwise than toward the border,
personally issued by Carranza to Gen
eral Trevino and by the latter com
municated to Pershing.
In his reply Secretary Lansing re-
quires the de facto government to
transmit definite statement 'as to
the course of action it has determined
upon" through the usual diplomatic
channels and mot through subordi-
nate military officers
The Mexican communication is con-
strued as a formal avowal of delib-
erately hostile action against the for
ces of the United States now in Mex
leo and of the purpose 20 attack with
out provocation whenever they move
from their present position, despite
the friend mission on which they are
engaged, and which is reaffirmed in
the American rejoinder. General Car
rama is required to place himself on
record formally and the plain intima-
tion lies behind the. restrained lang
uage in Lansings' communication that
force will be met with force. Appar-
emily, however, the Washington gov
ernment is determined that the de
facto government sh.ll not evade re-
sponsibility before the world, if war
is forced upon the United States.

ton in Mexico, twelve thousand strong
is ready for any action, if action is
necessary.
His southern outpost, according to
the best information, is near FL Valle,
fifty miles from colonia DubIan, the

Reports from the front indicate the
highest morale among the men. The
equipment is in the best of condition,
the horses and mules have been test
ed, big motor trains, loaded with sup
plies, are lined up ready for the ad-
vance. Every empty motor truck at
Columbus has been sent to the front
for infantry transport, and not a
wounded or incapacitated man is with
the force in Mexico.
II was feared today that some action
by a subordinate Mexican commander
might precipitate hostilities before the
Washington Mexico City exchanges
are completed. .-

Washington, D. c., June 26.
Whether a state of war shall
exist between the United States
and Mexico, depends on the
formal policy of declaration by
Carranza, which is expected
hourly in response to the note
sent yesterday. The note also
demanded the release of the
seventeen prisoners at Chihua-
hua.
Although Captain Morey's
letter indicated that the Ameri-
cans were responsible to some
extent for the Carrizal clash,
this has no particular bearing
on the present situation.
No plans have been made
for Wilson's address to a joint
session of congress.
