United States, said report by Ed
win w. Thompson, commercial at
tache OF the bureau of foreign and
domestic commerce, made public to-
day.
Mr.. Thompson outlined a plan by
which Danish and Dutch traders NAV
be furnished cotton for resale to Ger
many and allowed to assume part of
the risk. Out of 4,O67,O1S bales of
cotton on storage in the United States
on June 30, he estimated very large
preparation was classified in the low
er grades which are especially suit
able for German mills.
Need Lower Grades.
AT this time the German mills
should be eager buyers for the low
est grades Mr.. Thompson's report
said, pointing out that during the war
they have been operating on wastes,
shoddy, nettle fibre and paper, owing
to the pressure of the blockade.
Cotton experts are agreed that the
cotton in public storehouses in the
United States is of the lower grades.
and is the most desired by these
mills"
Declaring that the problem for the
American producers and holders of
cotton was to find way to offer large
assorted stocks Of cotton to German
spinners, and at the same time be Sc
fnr tho ,l,,4
Mr.. Thompson said that warehouses
in Rotterdam. Holland, were now
available for handling such trade
Could Finance 1t.
Several strong trading compa-
MES in Rotterdam are in a position
to handle and finance cotton into
Germany as fast as they can consume
it," he said. Matters can be so ar
ranged with them that American
bankers can finance the cotton in any
amount into safe warehouses in Hol-
land and the Hollanders can arrange
their own credits for delivery to Ger
mar spinncrS in lots to suit their
weekly or monthly requirements
Owing to great labor troubles at
the moment, it would be hard to start
up spinning at full capacity. even if
the cotton were on the spot, but it is
estimated in few months after the
cotton arrives the mills could use 49,
600 bales month.
Danish traders are willing also. to
resume handling cotton into Russia
and would also stand willing to join
in supplying Germany.

Alfalfa for Hogs.

There is no crop suitable for hog
grazing that will give such encourage
ing results as alfalfa 1t furnishes
a large amount OF green feed to the
acre and the grazing season extends
over several months of the year. From
the experiments carried on at the
Kansas experiment station it is shown
that an acre of alfalfa pasture
(grazed for 9S days. was equal to
1,544 pounds of grain, and when the
price of $4,000 per ton is placed upon
the grain used an acre of alfalfa for
the 9S days would be worth $23.16.
We can Craze alfalfa here over six
months of the year.
Hogs, when running on alfalfa.
need little or no other feed. If you
are looking for a way to grow hogs
easily and economically and have
land suited to alfalfa growing, it
would pay you to look into this mat
ter.

OF INTEREST TO THE FARMERS
BY w. F. HOWELL. COUNTY AGENT.

Efforts are now being made in this
county to arouse interest in commuu-
fty fairs. These fairs are held quite
generally throughout all sections of
the state, and it is planned to have n
series of them held in the various sec
tions of Lancaster county this fall
To do this, it is necessary to get the
people interested at work at very
early date making plans and arrange
ments for the fair in their own i'm
mediate section.
The community fair arouses inter
est and pride in local achievement,
fosters the spirit of cooperation,
brings the people together in friendly
rivalry, and affords an opportunity for
wholesome community recreation. It
is also good way to get into your
community those men and women
who have made a success Of some
special line of work, ana get the ben
eft OF their experience.

the first ten to twelve months of their
lives. the importance of properly feed
ing the SOW and the pigs is at once
apparent.
The sows should receive feeds that
are high in protein and mineral mat
ter, because such rations are required
FOR the proper nourishment of their
bodies and for the development of the
unborn pig. Forage crops are the
basis for profitable pork production.
The pigs should be developed up to
weaving as cheaply as possible, and
the only way to accomplish this is to
provide as easily as possible forage
crops throughout the year. And while
forage crops reduce the cost of pro-
duction, 1t must be borne In mind that
for the most economical production
they must be supplemented with some
grain feeds. The sow should not bo
Kept too fat during pregnancy, be-
cause this will result in small weak
pigs probably more frequently than
having the sows too thin, but every
farmer will recognize the thrifty con-
dition which characterizes all classes
Of animals.
Corn alone Is too fattening for the
brood SOW, and sows fed heavily on
this food usually produce weak pigs.
However, combination of corn and
such protein forages as cowpeas, soy
beans, rape, bur clover, crimson cloy-
er, ETC., make an ideal ration. When
forage crops are not available, such
feeds high in protein and mineral
matter, as skim milk or tankage.
should be used to supplement the
corn. With leguminous forage crops
as a supplement sows may be main
tanned in good condition when corn
makes up from l to 2%o of their live
weight. When no pasture is provided.
the SOW should receive 3 20 of her live
weight in grain. Corn, because of its
fattening qualities and it's deficiency
In protein and mineral matter. should
never be fed alone. When no forage
crops are available the following ra
tions are suggested: corn and skim
milk In the proportion of one part of
corn to 3 or pounds of skim milk.
Corn by weight 9 parts-tankage l
part
Corn by weight parts-wheat
shorts l part
Corn by weight parts-peanut
meal l part.
Mineral matter in the form OF char
coal should be kept accessible to the
sows at all times. When leguminous
hays are grown it is well to provide
a small rack for these roughages and
let the sows have access to il, since
the leaves of these crops are very high
in protein and mineral matter.

But clover is one of the best, cheap

gumes for soil building. The south

ing Srop.
If any Of the fall grains are to be
sown alone for soiling; that is. for
feeding green off the land, il must
necessarily be abruzzi rye, as this is
the only one that will give large
yields of green feed during the win
ter. AS winter grazing crop it can
not be surpassed by any other of the
grains. 1t can be planted at the time
of laying by the corn or cotton, and
on good land will be ready to cut
earlier than any other of the grains.
Where used as a soiling crop, il has
frequently been known to head out
by Christmas. If not sown when the
crop is laid by, it can be planted the
same as grain mixture from the lat
ter part of August to the middle of
October. When this rye is sown for

Feeding the Sow Previous to Farrow-
ing

The feeding of the pig should begin
before 1t is born. BY far too many
hog raisers practice very scant feed
ing OF the brood SOW, and as a result
the SOW farrows in thin condition and
many times the pigs are weak, which
retards their growth and makes 1t
more difficult as well as more costly
to properly develop them. Pigs that
are weak at birth may never grow
into large hogs. When one considers
that properly fed pigs may make ap-
proximately half their growth as well
as the most economical gains during

bic to President Wilson at
~ - Paris. -

/. Paris, April 12.-The report OF
the committee on international labor
legislation, which drafted program
to govern international regulation Of
employment conditions was adopted
by the peace conference today with
amendments proposed by George Nj
coll Barnes minister without port
folio in the British cabinet, and one
of the representatives of his country
on the labor committee.
]. When MI. Barnes was recognized
he offered motion approving the
draft of convention to, create a
permanent organization for the pro-
motion of international labor condi-
tions and requesting the various
governments to nominate delegates
forthwith.
A series of amendments proposed
by the British members also was pre-
sented by Mr.. Barnes One of them
would extend the period for ratifca-
ton of labor proposals to 1S months
instead of one year Another of the
amendments follows:
SIN framing an act, recommends
ton or draft of a convention OF gen.
eral application the conference shall
have due regard to those countries
in which climatic conditions, the
imperfect development of industrial
organization or other special cir
cumstances make industries condi-
ton substantially different, and shall
suggest notifications, if any, which
it considers may be required to meet
the case of such countries"
The proceedings were largely for
NAL with speeches by Mr.. Barnes, M
Colliard and M. Vandervelde, repre-
senting British, French and Belgian
labor interests.
In moving the adoption Of the la
bor amendment, Mr.. Barnes said il
was anticipated that the first meet
ing of the permanent organization
would be held at Washington mex
October. This announcement brought
President Wilson to his feet with tht
assurance that such a labor gather

+ The Americans assert that they
can see the possibility that the ways
and means of holding Germany to
payment will grow weaker as the
years pass and that Germany may
take advantage Of some convenient
opportunity in later years to repudi-
ate her obligations to the present
allied powers under the peace treaty
They recall the action Of Russia in
[repudiating the restrictive Black Sea
clauses of the treaty imposed at the
conclusion of the Crimean War at a
moment when a new political con-
stellation in Europe gave the emper-
or of Russia a fair amount Of GER
tainty that Russia could do this with
impunity. +,i. ..
For this reason the American and
other delegates on the reparations
commission have opposed new pro-
posal which the French brought in
to specify labor and other requisi-
tions for the restoration of the de-
vastated French provinces in the
first few years after peace, main
tanning this revived the principles of
priority as between the various cred
itors of Germany, which had been
rejected by the commission and the
council of four. They argued that
France in this way might receive
disproportionately, a large share of
claims in the first years while the
! ability of the associated governments
to enforce payments was still good
and that other states dependent upon
later payments in money and materi-
ais might be left, "holding the bag"
if Germany proved recalcitrant.
The difficulty probably will be met
by the French offer to account to the
other countries for the cash value
of labor, materials, cattle ana other
/ things exacted for the restoration of
the nine northern provinces.
Germany, although her prisoners
will be released at the end of the ar
mistice, will probably be required
in the peace settlement to provide a
part of the labor needed for rebuild
ing of devastated regions as we'll as
labor at home in the manufacture or
production of materials to be used in
restoration work.

member of the British cabinet. This
amendment recognizes that "condi.
