COUNTY AGENT STARTS co
OPERATIVE CREAMERY

The establishment Of a cooper
ative creamery in Wilson County,
Tenn, less than two years ago and
the success it has attained is an
example Of the benefits county
agents are giving the farmers
they serve. Two years ago there
was very little dairying in Wilson
County, only three men being en-
gagged in shipping cream and no
one shipping milk. Through the
efforts Of the local county agent,
dairy extension specialists, and a
number of interested farmers a
cooperative creamery was estab-
lished which now has 229 regular
patrons. From this start a cow
testing association, one Of the best
in the State, has been organized !;
46 silos were built last season and
number Of dairy barns were re-
planned and furnished with mod
ern dairy equipment. Three
pure-bred bulls have been brought
into the county and several men
bought new dairy cattle. The
creamery manufactures as much
as 500 pounds of butter day.
The patrons received last winter
so cents a pound for butterfat
whereas two years ago they were
receiving 16 cents pound for
country-made butter.

The press dispatch from Vladivostolk
reporting Gen. Semenoff at ocds with
the Omsk all-Russian government
gave the State Department the first
unfavorable news that has come from

for the elimination of bolshevism and
the establishment of a stable gov

Plans also were worked out where
by in order to permit the United
States to visualize the promlem of
food control at home Great Britain,
France and Italy agreed to put in
legalized and compulsory control of
foodstuffs in their countries.
The principal recommendations of
the American delegations, headed by
Colonel E. NJ. House as President
Wilson's personal representative, are:
"That the United States exert all
their influence to secure the entire
unity of effort, military, naval and
economic, between themselves and
the countries associated with them
in the war.
"Inasmuch as the successful ter
mination of the war by the United
States and the allies can be greatly
hastened by the extension of the Uni
ted States shipping program, that
the government and the people Of the
United States bend every effort to-
wards accomplishing this result by
systematic coordination of re-
sources Of men and materials.
"That the fighting forces of the
United States be dispatched to Eur
ope with the least possible delay, in
cident to training and equipment"
Governments Statement
The following statement by the
state department was made public
in connection with the recommends
tons:
"a review Of the report filed with
the department of state by Colonel
House, the head of the special war
mission which visited Great Britain
and France, in November, shows that
it succeeded in it's purpose of reach
ing a definite working plan for the
prosecution of the war through CO.
operation Of the governments repre-
sented at the conferences held in
Paris in the various fields of activity
and through marshaling the re-
sources of the nations at war with
the central powers and co-ordinating
their uses under a common author
ity thus avoiding the waste and un-
certainties that arise from indepen-
dent action.
"The results of the conference, as
shown in the report are most graft
flying to this government, first, be-
cause they indicate that the confer
ees were inspired by the desire to be
mutually helpful, and, second, be-
cause the agreements, which were
reached when in full operation will
greatly increase the effectiveness Of
the efforts now being put forth by
the United States and the allies in
the conflict against Germany and
Austro- Hungary.

SINCERITY OF PEACE
OFFER QUESTIONED.
WASHINGTON OFFICIALS SEE IN
1T MERELY AN ATTEMPT TO
PROLONG PARLEY

Washington, Dec. 27.-The condi-
tions surrounding Count Czernin's
proposals for basis of peace cause
officials here to feel some apprehens-
ion for their sincerity. There is
great disposition to feel that the OBJ
iect of the German plenipotcntiaries
is simply to protract the negotiations
as long as possible without any ex-
pectation of an immediate peace
! agreement with the double purpose
of leading the German people to be-
lieve that their government really is
desirous of making peace, and Of
gaining time for the furthass
strengthening of the German linesin
the west.
One condition regarded as impos-
sible, for the present at least, is that
the adherence Of all belligerents must
be secured to the peace the Germans
are trying to make with Russia be-
fore it can become effective. This
is accompanied by demand for the
return of the German colonies now
in the possession of Russia's allies.
1t can be stated authoritatively
that the position of the American
government has not changed in any
respect with regard to it's determine
ton to enter into no agreement with
a government which does not repre-
sent the free will of the governed
people. This would dispose of any
hope the Germans might have that
the Russians could induce America
to subscribe to the peace treaty
which they are now trying to ar
range. AS for the German colonies
the American government has never
recorded itself on the subject and
Lloyd George recently declared that
was a subject for the peace confer
ence.
No provision is made in Count
Czernin's terms for the return to.
France of Alsace- Lorraine, which is
regarded here as conditio nthat
must be met as preliminary to any
peace agreement.
