REVOLUTION IN GERMANY
 PREDICTED BY GERMAN

Amsterdam, Feb. 25.-A revolution in Germany was predicted by Dr. Cohn, independent Socialist deputy in an address to the Reichstag Frl- day. the Volks Zeitung of Cologne says. Dr. Cohn's address, made dur ;no the debate on the peace treaty with Ukraine, threw the Reichstag in to an uproar.
 "It is not correct to say that the neople of Russia's Baltic provinces are longing for German rule," he said.
 "The treaty with Ukraine IS not the first step toward general peace. T see the day coming when reyolu- lion will reach Germany and the people will take the fate of their rul- CTS into their own hands,"
 The independent Socialists cheered the speaker. From other parts of the house came shouts of sTraitor!"

SAYS PEACH
 TREES DEAD
c. C. Hamilton of the Department of Agriculture Visits Jackson COun-
 ty Last Week.

C. c. Hamilton, of the U. s. Depart ment of Agriculture, was in Jackson county last week, working with Coun- ty Demonstrator Banks. The result of his trips over the county, including spraying and pruning of fruit trees, led him to believe that practically all the peach trees are dead.
 This is sad news to the patriotic housewife, who has planned to can peaches this summer, and will be a serious financial loss in many of the fruit sections of Arkansas. If the tree owners do not want to lose a year in their orchards, they had bet ter get busy. Peach trees planted in the next three weeks will grow all right, but any great delay now means a year behind on the new orchard.
 After hard winter where so much feed has been used, the quickest way to get more feed for stock is the best.
 Since feed will be and is very high to buy, a crop of spring oats is the best way. Spring oats cut for hay will give feed in early June, and will tide the work stock over until corn is gathered. Then be prepared to fol- low the oats immediately with either peas for hay, or late corn.
