NO NEED LOSE
OATS FROM SMUT
A SMALL TASK TO TREAT SEED
BEFORE PLANTING. MEANS A
GREAT SAVING IN END.
By J.. A. JOHNSON.

Perhaps it has soaked in, and per
haps it hasn't.
But it isn't untimely to say that
these losses OF from to 20 per cent
of oat heads in so very. very many oat
fields in this county ought to sink in
on some who persistently refuse to
take a little time and about one cent
per bushel to treat oat seed before
they are planted.
1t would astonish you to know just
how many bushels of oats will be
missing from our always never plant
ed enough" crop this year on account
of smut.
Contrary TO the views OF many who
say and believe that oat smut is caus-
ed by dry weather. it is a fungus dis
ease and is carried over from year to
year on the seed.
This bung-hole leak caused by smut
can be prevented by ting the seed
before planting with bluestone or with
formalin.
1t is just as important to treat oat'
seed as it is to treat wheat seed. Bread
for the mules is just as necessary as
bread for ourselves.

ministry is undoubtedly powerful and making for the retention of the, present coalition ministry-first, MT. Asquith's known skill in surmounting political diff ficu'ties and holding his team together. and, second, the problem of itndinG an alternative government to the present coalition, and the repugnance felt in large sections of the country to a change in the government at a critical stage of the nations history.
 In the event of the retirement of Mr. Asquith as result of his refusal to re- main member of a government resort ing to universal service, MT. Lloyd George is regarded in many quarters as his natural successor But against this solution is the fact that a very strong section of the unionist party is entirely opposed to MT. Lloyd-George, as it is to Mir. Asauith. Moreover, it is known that Andrew Bonar Law, who is a con- scriptionist in principle and who was lead by the conscriptionist party into entering the coalition cabinet and whose reputation as parlamentarian has grown enormously since the war, making him a possible successor to MT. Asquith, attaches the utmost importance in the national interest to the maintenance of the present coalition ministry in power.

NO. AGREEMENT ON
 SUGAR BILL BY THE
 SENATE COMMITTEE
Conferees of House and Senate Un- able to Agree on Measure-May
 Agree on House Bill

Washington, April 1S.-Majority Leader Kitchin reported tonight to the House . that the conferees of the House and Senate had been unable to agree on the sugar bill. Tomorrow he will ask the House to reaffirm it's original position favoring absolute repeal of the free sugar law, instead of agreeing to the Senate amendment to postpone placing sugar on the free list only until May 1, 1920.
 There Is a strong belief in the Senate that eventually the House bill will have to be agreed to. In final unsuccessful effort to line up the conferees in favor of the Senate amendment today. Senator Simmons reported that President Wilson had informed him that he favored the amendment.
 A caucus of democratic senators has been called for tomorrow night. Lead CTS on both sides of the capitol are urg- ing the necessity of immediate action on the bill. If the. Underwood Simmons law is permitted to go into effect on May 1. the present tax of 1 cent pound on all sugar importations, or about $45,- O00,00 a year, will be lost.

Question of Universal Military Service Creates Serious Crisis No designations Have Been Rendered. Marquis of Crewe Admits Gravity of Situation -Asquith May Retire

London, April 1S--That a grave British cabinet crisis exists over the question of universal military service is undeniable, but according to an authoritative state ment tonight, no resignations, either ministerial or rnilisarv, havsF vet been rendered. 1t viii probably be several days before the crisis is ended
 The Marquis of Crewe, lord president of the council, in a statement to the House of Lords today, which was the first official admission of the gravity and complexity of the problems dividing the ministers, intimated that Premier Asquith might not be prepared even on Thursday to make his promised state- ment, in which case the House would sit the following Monday.
 Both sides in the momentous conflict are marshalling all their available forces for the parliamentary struggle over Sir Edward Carson's motion for universal military service Strong whips are out and all the, members of the House of Commons serving at the front have been granted leave oremain in London until a division is taken.
 Political gossip tonight centers mainly around Minister of Munitions Lloyd George succeeding MT. Asquith as the head of the government.

GERMAN EMBASSY DEMANDS RETURN
 OF PAPEN'S PAPERS
Claimed Documents Were Taken From Officer of the Embassy-Demand Re-
 lease of Won Igel

Washington, April 1S.--.rhc Ger man embassy today demanded of the state department the immediate re- turn of papers and documents seized by agents of the department of jus tice in New York from the office formerly occupied by Capt. Franz von Papen, the recalled military attache of the embassy.
 At the same time the embassy re- quested the release of Wolfe won Igel, Won Papen's former secretary, ar rested by the authorities in New York on an indictment charging conspiracy to blow up the Welland canal.
 Counsellor Polk of the state department. to whom the requests were made, at to return the papers and to free Von Igle unless the charges against him were committed before he became connected with the embassy staff.
 Attorney General Warren, in charge of neutrality prosecutions, said tonight the matter had not been brought to his attention. It was understood that the safe departments request would be acted on tomorrow.
 Prince Won Hatzfeldt. counsellor of the embassy, who made the representations, demanded that the papers and docu- ments be sealed and restored without be- ing photographed or copied. The action was based upon the ground that the of flee in which the seizures occurred in reality is a branch .of the embassy It was said at the embassy that the con tents of the papers was unknown there and that the demand for their restora- tion was made after Won Igel had com municated over the long distance tele- phone from New York.
 State department records show that formal notification of the appointment of Won Igel was received, during last Sep tember, after Won Papen had been de- clared persona non grata Won Igel had been in the office of Von .Papen for several months prior to that.
 Teutonic officials appeared to be sur prised on being informed that the re- lease of Won Igel had been conditionally ordered. They indicated that they had been informed that the instructions for release of the prisoner would be uncon- ditional. A lengthy report on the affair was understood to have been forwarded tonight to the Berlin foreign office.

Combined Action of Black Sea Fleet and Land Forces Reduces Important Turk ish Position
IS MOST IMPORTANT
 FORT OF TURKS ON
 ANATOLIAN COAST
Commands Point Where the Chief Trade Route of Persia and Central Asia Descends to the Sea

Petrograd, April 1S.-(Via London.D The fall of Trebixond to the Russian arms was confirmed in an official com munication issued late today.
 The statement says:
 "Trebizond has been taken. The united energetic efforts our Caucasian army and Black sea fleet have been crowned by the conquest of this fortified town, the most important position on the Anatolian coast.
 Our valient troops, after the sanguin- any battle of the 14th on the Kara Dere river, passed the Turks without respite and surmounted incredible obstacles, everywhere breaking the fire resistance of the enemy. The we'll combined action of the fleet permitted the execution of most hazardous landing operations and lent the support of it's artillery to the troops operating in the coastal regions.
 Credit for this fresh victory also is partly due to the assistance given the Caucasian army by the troops operating in other directions in Asia Minor By their desperate fighting and heroic ex- ploits they did everything in their power, to facilitate the task of the detachments ons the coast''
 Trebizond is city of Asia Minos, CD. the Black seq J5.s miles east of Constanti- nople and 100 miles northeast. of Ereze- rum, the town stormed by the Russians on February 16. Trebizond has a popu- lation of about 40,O00, including some IS, ,oO0 Christians
 The importance of the Black sea port was due to it's command of the point where the chief trade route from Persia and central Asia descends to the sea. It is separated from the rest of Asia Minor by a barrier of rugged mountains 1000 to 5000 feet high, which the Russian armies had to traverse.
 Aided by the Russian fleet, the invaders pushed past the last series of natural ob- stacles along the. coast when on Sunday they occupied strongly fortified Turk ish position on the left bank of the Kara Dere, 12 miles outside the fortress.
 Since the fall of Erzerum and the cap ture three weeks later of Bitis the Turks are said to have increased the Trebizond garrison until it contained three com plete divisions, or about 540OO men, and to have done everything possible to strengthen the Black sea port
