connection with the timing OF the
American peace note. Mr.. Lansing
would have held IT for an opportune
moment.
Lansing Expected to Co Soon.
Following that disagreement came
Mr.. Lansing's amazing explanation
of the peace note and then. within a
few hours, after answering a sum
mons to the white house. the ex-
PLANTATION OF the explanation. Be.
fore that time gossip in the inner
circles Of official Washington pre-
dicted the resignation Of Secretary
Lansing within a few months. Since
that time the date OF the resignation
has been moved many months nearer
If 1t came within month, or as
soon as the present peace flutter had
died down, no well-informed man in
Washington would be surprised.
Secretary Of the Treasury Will
liam G.. MeAdoo wants to resign as
soon as It can be done without en-.
barrassment to his father-in-law.
President Wilson. The reason is, ac.
cording to Mr.. McAdoo's friends.
that he cannot afford to stay in his
present rather poorly paid position
Secretary Of War Newton D. Baker.
the most ambitious man in the Cab.
met, is not fond of his present posi-.
lion. His whole tendency is very
much toward the pacifists, and he
realizes, as well as others realize,
that he Is out Of place. He hates sol
diers and things military, and he
does not see how as Secretary of
War he can make the kind of
national reputation he wants TO make.
The plan is to shift him to the De-
partment of Justice, which is far
more to his taste, and is likely to
offer big opportunities.
Gregory Wants to Be Judge.
Attorney General Thomas Watt
Gregory, despite Sherman, likes
Texas aud prefers 1t as a residence
to washington. His desire is to be
appointed to the United States Court
of Appeals. The appointment will
come as soon as there is a vacancy,
at which time Mr.. Baker will sue

Burleson's home is in the same Texas
city as Mr. Gregory's Counting in

HANDLING THE GRAIN.
Reason Why It Is More Advisable to
Thrash From Stack Than Shock

Reason Why II Is More Advisable to
Thrash From Stack Than Shock
Stacking and stack thrashing Of grain
are often advisable in spite Of the fact
that the cost is from 10 to 20 per cent
higher than the cost Of shock thrash-
ing, says Professor Peck of the Mime
sofa station. From five to eight mine
utes more are required to stack and
stack thrash bushef of wheat than to
shock thrash the same amount.
The farmer gains by stacking be-
cause he distributes his labor over a
longer period, leaving his thrashing to
be done later, when shock thrashing,
owing to weather conditions, lack Of
machines or scarcity of relatively high
priced labor, would have been mad
visable or impossible
Stacking protects the grain, though
little evidence of the gain here is avail
able.
Stacking preserves the straw much
better for feeding and bedding live
stock, and stack thrashing can usually
be more profitably done near the barns
than can shock thrashing.
If, again, a community has not
enough machines to thrash the grain
in short time, stacking as a measure
Of protection and safety is advisable.

New Treatment For Watermelon Stem
End Rot Is Successful.


End Rot Is Successful.
The application of "A copper sulphate
starch paste Or bordeaux paste to the
freshly cut, stems of watermelOns has
been found to prevent the stem end rot
that has caused heavy losses to melons
in transit in previous years.
This treatment was recommended in
farmers bulletin No S21 recently is
sued and has lccn demonstrated at
loading stat 'ons by agents of the Omit
ed States department of agriculture.
The treated melons have been prac-
tically free from stem end rot, where
as shipments sent from infected dis
tricts without treatment have given
much trouble. In one case, two cars
arrived in northwestern city on the
same day. One untreated in yenti
lated car had 25 per cent Of decay,
while the other, which had been treat
ed, although in an ordinary, unventi-
lated box car. had only 2 per cent Of
decay.
Several large shippers are now in
sisting that this treatment be given all
melons they buy. and it appears likely
that the departments method Of con-
troll will quickly come into general use.
The results secured in Florida and
south Georgia justify the adoption OF
the treatment in districts now shipping.

We have been watching our
law makers at Pierre this winter
through the columns of our
papers, just to see what they
would do about our personal pro-
perty taxes, in which most farm
ers are interested. But it must
be that some one got them inter-
ested in Tipping dollars and
made them forget about the per-
sonal property taxes and the
farmers that pay them.
Steel highway bridges will
cost 100 per cent more in 1917
than 1916 and $50 per cent more
than they did in 1915. Most G
us like to see permanent steel

prices make the proposition as to
which is best at the present time
whether to put in a
steel bridge or temporary wood
culvert.
