Felt "AH Choked Up
At Historic Troop
ReUiew, Says wilson

ON BOARD PRESIDENT WILSON'S
SPECIAL TRAIN EN- ROUTE TO
CALAIS, Dee. 26 (By The Associated
Press .-Presidcnt Wilson left Chau-
mont for England late yesterday after
noon feeling more strongly than ever
the magnificent part American soldiers
took in the winning of the war. Yestcr-
days review, in which ten thousand
American soldiers marched before him,
created a deep impression on the Pres
ident, quite apart from the historic
significance of reviewing fighting men
on foreign soil for the first time
When addressing his troops as Gel
low countrymen' he told them that he
believed that he could "promisc them
happy New Year. This was consid-
cred the keynote of the address and
friends about Mr.. Wilson construed
his words to mean that he was begin
ming to see the way more clearly tow
ard the attainment of the detectives
he has set for himself at, the peace
conference.
AT least one very important address
may be expected from the President
while he is in England. 1t may define
his line of thought more clearly ON
issues in which Great Britain is so
deeply intercs ted He will take oppor-
tunty to do this in the course of con-
ferences he will hold with Premier
Lloyd George, A. J. Balfour, Secretary
of State for Foreign Affairs, and
Andrew Bonar Law, Chancellor of the
EXchequcr; but whatever public speech
he will make will be, of course, in
explanation to the English people them
selves, who, he believes, are in accord
with the principles upon which the
making of peace has, been begun.
in his address 20 the American
troops yesterday President Wilson said
he had found no difference in prin-
clples or of fundamental purpose. He
expects to return to Paris to continue
the work of the peace conference with
what may be differences Of opinion
cleared away, or on the way to ac-
commodation.
Yesterdays review was picture
worthy of a great painter. The sight
of 10000 American veterans carrying
the United States flag on the soil of
a sister republic, a comradc in arms
IN a great cause, was just u little too
much to permit the President to sup
press his emotion. He frankly admit
ted being call choked up"
Mr.. Wilson'S visit to soldiers billets
in nearby towns Will long be rcmem-
bcrcd. At one place he climbed a lad
der TO the loft of stable to talk with
soldiers quartered there. Everywhere
the boys and girls of the little villages
brought native flowers or gifts to him.
One spry little miss actually hoped
INTO INTO his car and planted Il kiss on
ms check before the President know
what was going on Ambassador and

Turkish Parliament Out

WASHINGTON, Dec Dissolu-
ton of the Turkish Parliament was
proclaimed yesterday by the Minister
Of the Interior, according to dis
patch from Constantinople to the "Pe-
tit Parisien," reported to Washington
to-day through official channels. 1t
had been expected that the Turkish
Cabinet would fall. the report said,
but instead the House of Deputies was
dissolved by proclamation.
Later the minister read long dec
laration in reply to Interpolation from
the Deputies Of the opposition, in
which he outlined the history of the
war and pointed out that Turkey was
led into the war through no necessity,
but to satisfy The ambitions of some
high officials.

Germans Planning
New York-Hamburg
Zeppelin Service
Paris Hears Disarmed Aerial
War Craft Are To Be
Turned Into Merchant
men - Idea Is Feasible

PARIS, Dec. 26.-Dsarmed German
Zeppelins will be converted into aerial
merchantmen to ply between New
York and Hamburg, according to the
Echo de Paris" which says it has
received its information from 'relia-
able sources"
The report that disarmcd German
Zeppclins would be converted into
aerial merchantmen occasioned no
surprise in aeronautical quarters here.
Alan r. Hawley, president of the Aero
Club of America, said that such a plan
was entirely practicable and possible.
This also was the opinion of Major
Thomas S. Baldwin L. s. A. c., re-
garded as one of the best authorities
en- balloons and dirigibles in the coun-
try. who said the Germans have ma
chimes that can stay in the air for
two weeks at an altitude of $4,000
feet.
Can Make 80 Miles an Hour
Asked how fast these Zeppelins
could travel, Major Baldwin replied
that, so far as it is known, they aver
aged from 70 to 80 miles an hour.
He said that even the relatively small
American balloons are capable Of so
miles an hour.
Mr.. Hawley then expressed the be-
lief that the discovery of a non-in-
tiammablc gas, through the research
carried on by aeronautical experts Of
the government, would remove much
of the danger
He also was of the opinion that the
use Of the gas by American fleets of
dirigibles would give an American air
venture immense advantages over that
OF the German Zeppelin because it is
believed the Germans have no knowl
edge as yet of the discovery of this
gas.
With regard to the possibility of
carrying freight by means of the Yep
peIin, Mr.. Hawley stated that 1000
cubic feet of gas could maintain
seventy pounds of freight
tlfty-iive per cent Of these seventy
pounds. he said, however. would con
sist of the balloon and its fixtures. The
other As per cent could consist of pas
sengers, food, gasolene and whatever
space for freight was left.
Mr. Hawley said that when it is con
sidered that some of these Zeppelins

hold 100000 feet OF cubic gas, the
transportation OF $4,000 to 10000
pounds of freight was not at all i'm
practicable and extremely possible.
In answer to q question as TO the
activity of the United States in de.
vcloping the aeronautical resources Of
this country, Major Baldwin said that
when the figures and the general re-
port are made public the country will
be amazed at the scope Of the govern
monL's actiNl-ios.

Furloughs to Help Farm Work

For the purpose of augmenting
agricultural production it is the in
tention of the War Department to
grant furloughs to enlisted men to
enable them to engage in farming
during the present season. Com
handing officers may grant such fur
loughs within prescribed rules when
ever it appears they will contribute
to increase farm production.
Burroughs may be given by COM
handing officers of posts, camps, can
tonments, divisions, and departments.
They will be for short periods, large
ly for seeding and harvesting time.
They will not be granted to enlisted
men of or above the grade Of first
sergeant, nor in an organization that
has been ordered to move or is in
transit from points of mobilization
or training to a port of embarkation.
All furloughs granted will be sre-
called and the men ordered to their
organizations when they have re-
ceived preparatory orders for duty
overseas.
Burroughs granted for farm work
will be without pay and allowances,
except that enough pay will be re-
tanned in each case to meet al1ot-
ments in force on the day of the or
der, war-risk insurance, and pledges
on Liberty bonds.
For specially qualified experts in
agriculture furloughs may be grant
ed by the Secretary of War upon ap-
plication by the Secretary Of Agri-
culture, providing such furloughs
are voluntarily accepted by the per-
sons for whom application is made.
Individual applications for fur
on a form to be furnished by local
draft boards. Two sections are to be
made out and presented to the local
board, which will complete the form.
If the furlough is granted the ap-
plication will be filed by the COM
handing officer and certificate
furnished the soldier If not granted,
the application will be returned with
reasons for disapproval.
If the soldier initiated the applica-
ton he will give the name of the
person for whom he desires to work.
from whom will be ascertained the
need for. farm service.
Burroughs may be granted en- bloc
to men who are willing to accept
them, upon requests Of farmers, when
time consumed in travelling from the
post to the place of labor will not
exceed "a hours. In making these
applications farmers will use form
of the Provost Marshal Generals
office, also going to the local board.

MAKE CONCESSIONS
TO WHEAT GROWERS
New Wheat Grades Announced by
Secretary Houston Effective
July Is

The new wheat grades effective
July Is were officially promulgated
by Secretary of Agriculture David
Houston Tuesday. There are some
notifications from the present grades
but not to the extent asked for the
wheat growers or to the extent out
lined in the tentative changes which
were the subject of discussion at the
hearing at Minneapolis
Five grades and sample are re-
tanned. Test weight for No. 1 north
ern is reduced from So to So pounds,
while Nos. 2, 3 and remain as at
present and No. is reduced from
81 to SO pounds.
Instead of Is per cent moisture
content, as permitted under the tent
alive grades, No. / is allowed, IA
per cent; No. 2, 14.5 per cent; No.
8, Is per cent and Nos. and 5 Is
per cent. With the exception of No.
2, this is an increase of IL per cent
over the present rules.
The gardes are most lenient on

being permitted in No. 1 now, as
against 2 per cent. Ten per cent is
permitted in other grades, and no
wheat will be graded less than No.
because of mixture.
DAMAGED WHEAT AMOUNT DOU-
BLEED
The amount of damaged wheat in
No. 1 is doubled, and kernels dam
aged by heat are permitted in Nos.
1 and 2.
Dockage is considered only in
terms of whole per cent, unless wheat
contains 1 per cent, dockage is not
counted. The reference to INSOFAR
able foreign material, to which the
northwest has objected most strenu-
ously, has been eliminated.
The amount of smut permitted be-
fore wheat is designated as "smutty''
has been doubled.

account, be overlooked. The good
layer is always active and alert. She
is up and hustling early in the morn
ing, and the latest on the roost at
night. She stands squarely on legs
set we'll apart, has deep, broad
body with great capacity, a compar-
atively short, we'll curved beak, a
broad crown to her head, and fine
texture to the comb. She is usually
a good singer and always looking for
her feed. Good disposition in hen
is an asset every time and should be
cultivated. The male heading the
pen is half the flock, and it is very
important that his dam possess all
characteristics stated.
The size of the breeding pen must
be adjusted to the needs of the own
err. If the sale Of the Matching eggs
is not to be part of the business, it
will be easy to decide the number of
breeders you will need. 1t should be
the rule to have the pen large enough
that Matching eggs would not need
be held more than a week in collect
ing enough for a setting. In all ex-
cept the smallest matings, it will be
found advantageous to use two males
for each pen, and remember that
yearling hens are much better than
pullets for breeders as they give bet
ter fertility, better hatchability and
stronger chicks.
It will not be a big task on most
farms to provide an adequate run or
a breeding pen and it will be found
profitable investment

Fish Fry for Farm Ponds

The federal government aided by a
representative in Minnesota, is I'M

neglected source of food supply. This
source is the fresh water lake or pond

Selecting the Breeding Pens

Farmers and other breeders of
poultry should practice selective mat
ing to improve their f1ocks and as an
economic proposition. There are
many good reasons for selective mat
ing of the breeding in our, poultry.
1t is through this practice that
breeds, varieties and strains have
been built up ITO an ideal. 1t
suggests the Importance Of the
selecting one of the various
breeds of varieties of standardized

the correct type Of your breed and
follow closely in mating up your

habits count for even more than type

important feature must not, on any

SPECIAL DAY SET TO
ERADICATE BARBERRY
CAMPAIGN Will Be Made in Mime.
sofa for Complete Destruction Of
Plant

Minnesota and the federal govern
ment have mapped out a campaign
for the complete destruction of the
common barberry plant which is the
natural ally of black stem rust OF
wheat and other cereal crops which,
in 1915, robbed Minnesota's farmers
of about 3O,OOO,00O bushels of wheat.
The first move in this campaign
was the recent action of the Comm1s-
sion of Public Safety declaring May
d as Burberry Eradication Day. On
that day all patriotic citizens OF the
state including the boys and girls OF
schools will be asked to make spe-
cial effort to find and destroy all
common barberry plants in their sew
eral communities.
This action was taken at the sug-
gestion of E. M. Freeman, dean OF
the college of agriculture and heao
of the division which treats with
plant diseases.
The common barberry is known to
harbor the rust itself and to be one
of the chief sources from which GER
cal crops become infected. There are
two common forms-the green and
the purple. They grow from four to
eight feet tall. In the spring, spores
of the black stem rust from wheat
stubble are blown into the air and
fall on barberry leaves in the vic1nl-
tv. The rust developes on the bar
1orr,, 1oavoc from aar1v in Nav until
about June Is. The rust spores pro-
duced are then carried by the wind
to the wheat fields and to other GER
calls often causing the loss of tens OF
millions of dollars.
Care should be taken in attempt
ing to eradicate the common barberry
not to disturb the japanese bar
berry which does not harbor the rust
itself.

Farmers Will Need Help

When the schools are out for the
summer vacation there will be many
boys and young men looking TOT
work who have had some experience
on farms. Farm help is going to be
scarce this year and must be ar
ranged for now before the rush comes
on. Those who will be able to do
farm work, or farmers needing help,
should make their wants known
ahead of time and a good plan would
be to get in touch with the county
agent, as he should be in position
to get the farmers and men together
Everyone who can help on the farms
should do so as patriotic duty.
