League of Nations is
Not Only Possible. But
Probable. Says Grey

NEW YORK, June 2S-The pos
s.bility Of the formation Of a league
OF nations, the necessity Of such a
plan and the agreements necessary
TO the success OF such a league. have
been fully set forth by Niscount
Grey, former British foreign secre-
tary These statements were given
out by the British information serv-
ice. Niscount Grey's statement. in
part. follows.
This wsr is he greatest trial Of
which there is any record in history.
If war does not teach mankind new
lessons that viii 80 dominate thought
and feeling OF those who survive il
as 10 make new things possible. then
war Will be the greatest catastrophe
as well as the most grievOus trial
and suffering. Of which mankind has
any record.
Therefore il does not follow that
a league of nations TO secure the
peace Of the world will remain i'm
possible because il has not been pos
sible hitherto.
Must Work Earnestly.

reasons for being or continuing 10 be

20 render lip service 10 other persons
whom it is inconvenient or ungra-
cious TO displease. They must lead
and not follow. They must compel,
if necessary. and not be compelled.
This condition was not present be-
fore the war. To what extent is il
present now. 1t is not possible TO an

BUGKWHEAT To
REPLACE CORN
New Crop May be Planted
Where Frost Killed
First Sowing.

News Times special Service
LAFAYETTE. Ind. June 2s.-
Because of the frost damage to the
corn crop in northern Indiana the
use Of buckwheat is being advocated
widely as an early maturing crop
and one which may be planted with
safety even until Aug l.. as it takes
ONLY 80 to 90 days for it 10 mature.
Planting about July I. however. is
the best time. Some good pointers
or the sowing of this product were
given by Prof. NJ. L. Fisher. assist
ant chief in the soils and crops de-
Iartment at Purdue university. Here
is what ne says:
Buckwheat will grow on prac-
tically any type Of soil, but it is best
not TO SOW it on peaty soils OF lands
too highly fortified with manure
or heterogeneous fertilizers. Flowing
should not be delayed until Just be-
fore sowing, as it is much better
TO handle land plOwed early so that
the seed bed has settled. The prep
aration can be continued al seeding
time 10y disking and narrowing. thus
pulvering the ground well. 4 seed
led much like that for wheat is
needed, although it should not be
SO compact
Direction for Use.
The usual rate of seeding is a
bushel. but il may vary from three
10 five pecks 10 the acre. This crop
begins TO blossom when it is a few
inches nigh and continues until
stopped rs the frost, so that the
close of growing season will see
blossoms. green and ripe seed all
at the same time. Harvesting should
be done just before danger from
frost.
Common, Silver Hull and Japa
nese are good varieties which are
well adapted 10 Indiana conditions.
The highest yield obtained on plots
at the Purdue experiment station
was in 1909 when the common va
riety was used. Twenty-seven bush
els were obtained. A bushel of
buckwheat is usually counted as
weighing as pounds and in the mill
ing operations will produce from %
70 rs pounds of -four per bushel.
Hence "A - bushel crop will yield
approximately 500 pounds Of buck
wheat -four
considerable quantities OF seed
have been located by the Purdue ex-
tension department which is en-
deavoring TO meet the frost situa-
ton. Lists of all available buck
wheat. soy beans and other seeds
have been sent county agents"
