Proposed Congress
Of Latin American
Neutra1s Abandoned

Correspondence Associated Press)
Buenos Aires, April 22.-With
the departure Of the Mexican dele
gates who came to this country as
special embassy from the presi-
dent of Mexico and whose diplomat
lie credentials were not recognized
by the government, the long-discuss-
ed congress of Latin American
neutrals appears to have been de-
finitelv abandoned nv this country.
This proposed conference was to
have brought the South and Central
American republics into closer un-
ion to oppose pressure from larger
nations and it has been stated here
that it even vas to have served as
the basis for Spanish-American
Union by leading to another con-
ference between diplomatic repre-
sentatives of the member republics
and diplomatic agents of Spain, that
country already having announced
it's intention of seeking closer rela-
tions with South America as soon as
the war is over.
That this neutrality conference
was once the dream Of President
Z Irigoyen as the browning glory of
q lid siHIcIAuIlOHdl pOliCy ID uO IOuS
Ter doubted, but it has met with such
cold reception since the South Am
erican republics began, one by one,
to throw aside their neutrality and
cast their lots with the entente al
lies that no one was surprised when
1t was announced that the proposed
conference has been indefinitely
postponed.
The aims and purposes of the pro-
posed congress never were clearly
set forth despite the fact that sew
eral nations invited to it insisted
on such statement being made be-
fore they accepted the invitation.
The Mexican delegates who had
been assigned to attend this confer
ence continued their journey to Ar
gentina after being notified that the
conference had been postponed, and
they were coolly received by both the
people and the government of Ar
gentina.
Senior Cabrera did succeed in ar
ranging with this government for
\ the chartering of Argentina trans
ports to carry cereals to Mexico, but
this arrangement was cancelled by
the government.

described as being an economic OPP
portunity for city families and at the
same time an essential part OF the
campaign for increasing poultry pro

The smallest and least favorably sit

offers opportunity to keep at least
enough hens to supply eggs for the
household. The number or hens needed
for that purpose is twice the number
of persons to be supplied. Hence, the

A coop for a flock Of four hens
should have a floor area OF about
twenty square feet or about five feet
per hen. For larger flocks the space
allowed per bird may be little less.
because the space is used in common
and each bird has the use of all the
coop except what her companions &C

of ten to fifteen hens, the space al

Powder plants Under way.

Two additional enormous govern
ment powder plants recently have
been started at Nashville, Tenn. and
Charleston, w. Va, and 1t may be a
year or mere before they are produc-
ing the means Of carrying into effect

force without stint or limit.
Washington hears evidence on ev-
cry hand that the American war ma
chine is being built up with the idea
that it will have many years to run.
My first impression back of the Brit
ish front in France was the permari-
ent character Of the works built up
for the maintenance of the army
the warehouses, the railroads. the
telegraph and telephone lines, the
water works system-and it seemed
to me the British must be preparing
for another thirty years. war, pro-
vided it should take that long to ac-
complish the defeat of the German
army.
The. so-called temporary buildings
in Washington which have sprung in
to being since the entry of America
into the war are being planned in
manner which indicates more and
more clearly that they may be occu-
pied for long, long time.
Every department OF the govern
ment is convinced of the necessity of
looking forward to an Indefinite per-
iod of warfare. The food administra-
ton in particular is looking far into
the future, but of. course the food sit
uation in the world may be worse
the year after peace is declared than
at any time during the progress of the
war, and the machinery for admins
tering the worlds supply of food
stuffs must be maintained for more
heroic service at that time than any
it heretofore has been called upon to
perform.
The sooner the country realizes the
situation the better it will be. Pres
ident Wilson undoubtedly will do his
share in impressing upon the people
the habit of looking forward to a sus-
tanned period Of warfare.

United States Preparing For Long War

The country at large does not full
IL grasp the. extent to which Amer
ica's war preparations are reaching.
The government is making ready for
q long war. There never has been an
idea here that 1918 would see the
close Of hostilities. There has been
distinct feeling that this may. be
the deciding year--deciding In the
sense that 1t will bring about clos
er unity among the allies and arouse
a greater determination than ever to
fight the war to a successful con-
clusion. but there Is no thought that
the end is in sight.~Quite the con-
trary.
Immense contracts have been let
by the government within the last
week for the building up of war in
dustries which are not scheduled ev-
en- to begin production until more
4 than year from now. The officials
in Washington are anxious that these
facts shall be. impressed upon the
public. The people must steel them
selves to long war and must I'M
4 derstand that i'm the closer govern
ment councils, where the situation
is fully appreciated, plans are going
ahead as If there were every assur-
ance<in the world that America must
still be fighting three or four or five
wears hence.
1t is not difficult to recall the
amazement with which the English
2 people heard the prediction of Lord
Kitchener in 1914 that the war sure
ly would last three years or more.
They were incredulous. And 80 it is
with Americans today. They distinct
ly gained the impression that with
Americas entry into the field of bat
tie the end could not be very far off,
Visitors to Washington have brought
this view with them from various
parts of the country But they are

Germany's Power Demonstrated.
If anything were needed to. en-
phasize the necessity of preparing
for several years OF war it was fur
nished in the power of the German
offensive. The dominance of the mil
itary party in Germany, the strength
of the German military machine. the
fighting ability of the German army,
all have been brought home with a
force which should leave no doubt in
the mind of any thinking person as
to the seriousness of the task that
confronts the United States. If the
German military power Is to be brok-
en- America must do 1T, and the un-
dertakipg is one which we'll may call
for plans that look some distance in
to the future.
1t is no evidence of delay that the
government is just now letting con-
tracts for war plants which cannot be
finished for az year or more. 1t is
instead an indication of fuller grasp
of Just what the allies are expecting
of the people of the United States
The plans of war six months from
now may make even those of today
seem small in comparison. War ever
is progressive. 1t calls always for
more and more. 1t was not an easy
matter to make the United States
over into a military nation in few
months, but we are becoming more
proficient with each passing day and
it is possible now to talk in the most
casual way of projects so enormous
that half year ago they would have
caused a gasp from even the biggest
and most forward looking men of the
administration.
There are reports this week. for in

duction of some of this toluoI is~not

against these losses regardless Of the
weather conditions. The understood,
shriveled, irregular, and cracked beans
do not terminate well and their remov-
al will help to secure a uniform stand.
No chances should be taken with the
1918 crop. Only the very best seed
available should be used.
Test Termination.
termination tests should be made to
determine what percentage of the seed
will grow. Follow the method COM
monty employed for testing the ger
mination Of corn. The seeds may be
laid between moist blotters or folds of
cloth placed in a shallow dish, COW
cred with a plate and kept In a warm
room; or they may be planted in sand
or soil.
If the termination is poor, the fact
must be taken into account when de-
Gliding upon the rate Of planting, in or
der to insure a good stand. 1t Is very
important that seed be tested this
year, since early frosts in the fall Of
1917 prevented the crop from matur-
ing properly In some of the principal
bean-growing sections Of the country.
A failure to do so may result in a
poor stand and much reduced yield.
