GREY LIKES IDEA
OF WORLD LEAGUE
British Foreign Minister Hopes
to See Plan Applied After
War-Wants the United
States to Lead.

New York, Nav 15.-Theodore Mar
burg, of Baltimore. formerly United
States minister to Belgium, at a innei
given him here last night by members.
of h League to Enforce Peace. told
of an interview he had with Sir Ed
ward Grey, in which the British foreign
minister said he was wholly in favor
OF the plan of the League to Enforce
Peace. The proposal is that a league
OF the great powers be formed at the
close of war in Europe to guarantee
a lasting peace nv pledgiEg the use Of
their Joint armed force, together with
economic pressure, against any sigma
tory nation which snail refuse to keep
its agreement to -ry ar%bitrational
methods before beginning hostilities or
declaring war.
Sir Edward Grey" said Mr.. Mar
burg, who recently returned from Eu-
rope, Expressed the opinion that if
some such plan had been in operation
when the present was was threatened,
the war would not have occurred. As
the attitude of England would greatly
influence the action OF her allies, the
view of Sir Edward will carry great
weight when the terms of peace come
to be discussed.
Il found other leading men in Eng
and quite in sympathy with President
Wilson's aspiration for some sort Of
joint guarantee of peace on the part

come home convinced that there is a
real prospect of the great ideal of the

phasia needs to be laid OH a serioas
study of all problems involved new. SO
that the ENJOYS who gather 10 rayne
a treaty Of peace at the end of the
war will come to the conference with,
a plan, the principal features Of which
have been approved by the various
chancellories.
Il found it was generally felt that
the United States, which is HI great
est example of a league Of states.
might pronerly take the initiative in
this matter.
responsible body of opinion in
England desires the ACKNOWLEDGMENT of
Germany. What the allies demand is
that h German attitude should so
change from the inside tina the rest of
the world a live with her comforta-
bly,. This can probably be brought
abou only through the success Of the
allies in the war; at least that is their
conviction.
IF a change does come in the Ger
man point of view we can live with
and work with one of the most helpful
and inspiritfng countries of the world.
And it is believed that in such an event
Germany could be counted upon to
Join a league of nations for justice
and that out of justice would come

FARMERS ARE URGED
TO MAKE START NOW
FOR CORN BREEDING
South Dakota Agronomist Gives
System For BARROW Test
Labor Not Great.

Bookings. S. D., May 12.-South
Dakota farmers may we'll afford to lay
out a corn breeding plot this year, sug-
geSts agronomist A: N.Gume, OF State
ito plan definitely in the direction of
corn Improvement. 1t is highly desira-
BILE that seed corn improvement be
made by ear-row test plots, whereby
the poorest yielding strains of corn in
this state may be largely eliminated,
and replaced with better yielding
strains of own stock.
The method of the ear-row test is
In fact very simple. The gist of it is
that kernels from each of a number of
ears of corn are planted in separate
rows. The rows are to be planted as
nearly alike as possible in regard to
the number of kernels per hill M to-
tai length of row. The rows are to be
harvested separately and the corn yield
or each row separately recorded.
The yields from these separate rows
thus indicate h relative producing
w of the strains represented by the
mother ears planted in the separate
rows and it is possible accordingly to
select seed corn for a following yea
from only the highest yielding sepa-
rate rows of the ear-row test.
The easiest place for conducting
such an ear-row test will be probably
at one end of the general field. Select
SANS VI Soul Illlclu IlSII llOW
which has the best area of even ground
n lay out an area of that ground,
say one or more acres in extent, for an
ear-row test. If the rows in the ear
row test plot are to be 20 rods in
length, a test plot Of one acre will be
eight rods by 20 rods. If the rows are
planted 1916 inches apart, 1t will thus
be possible to plant 40 rows-each 20
rods long-on an acre.
Forty rows are none too many. The
greater tho number Of rows planted,
the greater will be the opportunity for
selection, but 1t must also be remem-
bered that he greater the number Of
rows planted, the greater will be the
amount OF work harvesting the sepa-
rate rows. All that is necessary in
starting this ear-row test at the pres
ent time OF year is to thus lay out the
ground at n side Of the general corn
held and, having selected the separate
seed ears, to plant seed from each one
IN Its own row.
obviously, it is we'll to mark off
the ground of the ear-row test with
stakes and to omit a row of corn
aroun the ear-row test between it and
the general cornfield. The ear-row test
plot car thus be cultivated just like
the general field and at the same time
Wlthoul extra attention in that regard.
Inc chlef amount of extra work will be
caused by the necessity of harvesting
the separate rows of the ear-row test
separately. but harvesting will not
come until later.

stock was raised on Clifford Bros, farm,
southwest Of Mitchell. In. the ship
ment were 1875 head OF steers, which
were sold for 1886 per 100. or an av-
erage price of $162 each. There were
1S4 head Of hogs. which averaged 300.

Schumacher of Edmunds county passed
from st. Paul, where he had sold a car
load of hogs which topped the market
at $3.50. This was the seventh carload

from his $50 acre farm within the past
II months, four carloads being cattle
and three hogs. In addition to cattle
and hogs. Mr. Schumacher has sold a
number Of horses tina: were raised on

day, bringing 5000. In addition to the
livestock. Schumacher raises a large
amount of small grain, and is making
a great success of alfalfa. Schumach-
ers land sells for less han $40 an acre,
or would ii it was for sale, but it is
claimed the annual production is more
than on Illinois and Iowa land selling
for 1900 an acre. Some one has esti-
mated that since Schumacher settled on

daily income from his farm has av-
eraged better thar $40 and possibly as
much as SIS a day, day in and day out,

year, the scheme proves success
full, then consolidation OF all the
schools will be effected.
The school board at Grover,

the same thing this year with
greatly increased efficiency in
the school.
This is what any sensible far
mer would DO with improved

Flour And Oil Will
Keep Rust Away

Machines and polished parts Of
machines not in daily use, and
subjected to ordinary atmospner-
ic conditions, will soon rust,
thereby rendering them insight
". and in time will cause a very
noticeable deterioration.
When machines are laid up for
a time, such as farm machinery,
the parts not actually painted
should be coated with a rust pre-
venttive. Such 4 substance
should have the qualities of
cheapness. ease OF application
and removal. and not be iniur.
ious to the surface coated.
A good and inexpensive coat
may be made by mixing flour
with common or lubrlcating oil.
This mixture should have a con.
sistency of thin paste. 1t may
be applied with a paint brush.
The flour keeps the oil from dry.
ing hard. and the oil will pre-.
vent the air and moisture from
coming into contact with the sur
face Of the parts treated, there
by preventing rust or corrosive
effects.
This coating may be easily re.
moved by n cloth or a piece of
waste saturated with coal oil or
gasoline. L. d. Grain, Colorado

Kerosene Will Remove
Stains From Bath Tub

The most efficient method of
removing that oily deposit which
forms on the sides of the porce-
lain bath tub and bowl is to use
kerosene. Take some soft pa
per, moisten with kerosene and
rub over the soiled part. This
will cut the grease easily and the
extra kerosene can be wiped with
more paper. which, with the
first should be burned, to avoid
danger. The fixtures may then
be washed with plenty Of soap
and hot water and they are
clean. This method requires
very little rubbing and is not in
furious to the finish.
Avoid the use of soda or scour-
ing powders. These will in time
injure the finish of the enamel.
To remove brown stains caused
by standing OF dripping water
use a little oxaIic acid and wash
out with plenty of clear water.
This is very effective. Nellie

To Remove White Spots
From Vanished Table

The spots which appear on the
top of the table, due to the acct
dental application of heat from
hot dishes need not worry the
careful housewife long if she
will remember that the original
appearance of the varnish may
be restored by simply reforming
its surface. To do this it is nee
essary to apply some varnish
solvent-not varnish remover
and then allow it to dry. The
most easily obtained solvents are
alcohol and ammonia. Moisten
a bit of clean cloth with the SOL
vent, rub it quickly over the
spot, then let it dry. Permit
the moistened cloth to touch the
varnish but a few seconds for as
soon as the varnish is acted upon
by the solvent it will rub off,
leaving the wood of the table
bare. L. s. Foltz, Colorado Ag-
