OFFERED BY COLLEGE
Department of Farm Crops Will Dis
tribute Seed of Standard and New
Varieties of Wheat to
Farmers

Pure seed wheat of standard va
rieties, and new varieties believed to
be superior to those commonly grown
in the district in question, will be
distributed this fall by the depart
ment of farm crops of the State Col
lege at prices which include the mar
ket price and the actual cost OF
cleaning. grading and handling for
seed purposes.
Wheatmcn wishing to secure guam
titles of the seed are advised to APP
ply through their county agricul-
tural agents.
The following wheat varieties are
available:
Hybrid 1928; Turkey Red; Triplet;
Jones Winter Fife; Rudy; White
Winter Barley.
Commenting upon the use of this
pure seed, Professor e. &. Schafer
says:
Special care should be exercised
by persons obtaining pure seed to
plant it on clean ground in order to
prevent the mixing of other varieties.
If a variety proves to be superior,
after two or three years of test, the
resulting crop may be used for fur
Their distribution in that particular
region. new variety should be
grown experimentally for two or
three years before being generally
introduced.
''Triplet has proved TO be good
yielding variety and has been tested
in few places We believe it SUI
perior TO Jones Winter Fife in Sec
tions where that variety is grown.
Ruddy is a red wheat with red cnaff
and has a long beardless head. 1t
has been one of our very best yield
ing varieties.
Special attention may be called
to the White Winter barley 1t is
less hardy than winter wheat and
subject to greater winter injury.
" hen it comes through the winter
successfully it frequently produces
more pounds of grain than any other

Hundred Barrels Daily
Local People to Take
Stock

Within the next three months
Pullman will have an operating flour
mill of at least 100 barrels capacity,
the Community Milling company
having purchased the Pullman flour
mill, which has been idle for several
years past. The capacity of the mill
at present is but so barrels daily, but
the entire mill will be remodeled
under 200-barrel design, with two
separate 100-barrel units One of
these units will be installed at once
and will be in operation by Novem-
Der Is, while the second will be COM
pleted as soon as conditions warrant
Local persons, principally farmers,
are taking keen interest in the new
enterprise and practically enough
stock has already been promised to
insure the success of the undertake
ing on cooperative basis. Both
local wheat and imported hard wheat
will be milled, only enough of the
latter to be shipped in to blend for
local consumption. Quantities of
wheat will be ground here to be
shipped to blending plants at other
consuming points.
The local community is asked by
| the parent company to take stock in
the concern equaling one-half the
cost of the mill each community in
which the mills are operated to be
an integral part of the parent COM
pany. The head office of the Com
| munity Milling company is at Spo-
kane. and through this office all of
the surplus flour miled in the yari-
us communities where mills are in
stalled will be marketed.

Paying the highest wages for har-
yestt work in the history of Whit

threshing outfits in the vicinity took

OF the operators were able to fill
their crews with good hands but

Guilty in filling all the calls for help,
Several operators from the Cotton
and Uniontown district have come
to Pullman for hands and this has
reduced somewhat the available sup
ply for local threshermen, although
up to the present every call has been
filled. A few transient hands have
been holding out for shorter hours
but little objection to the wages paid
has been heard.
I'VE have been taking care of the
help situation very nicely" said Mr.
Henry yesterday, but o few more

NO PEACE TREATY UNTIL
 IT IS RATIFIED BY SENATE

Paris, March 14.-(By The A. P.) An interesting question of importance to the United States has arisen here. Upon it's answer depends the cortin- ued operation of much war legisla- ton, such as control of railroads, the prohibition of the manufacture and sale of liquors and similar enactments with reference to the date on which the war officially will cease.
 Assuming that Secretary of State Lansing will sign the peace treaty for the United States, along with the uowers associated with the United States in the war when it is signed
 by the Germans, it ise pointed out that
 this act will not become effective, as far as the United States is concerned,
 until it is ratified by the United
 States senate. Even if that body
 were favOrably disposed. it was stated
 today. ratification might be long de- ferred because the senate is in recess and so will remain until called into special session by the president. It is true the president might do this bv cabled proclamation, his per scnal attendance upon ihe session not being required, but even at best, it is
 asserted, it ss possible that the United
 states might be placed n the peculiar position Of ta"- ~" alone at war with Germany long after her as- sGciates had formally concluded l peace.
 One solution Of the problem that 1 has been suggested is that in the i peace treaty itself the date for for mally ending the war be placed far enough in the future to permit of ac- i tion by the senate in the interim, but ! thus far no definite conclusion has | been reached,

ADMIRAL SIMS MAKES
 FAREWELL SPEECH IN LONDON

London, March 14-Vice Admiral William s. Sims, commander of the American naval forces in the war zone, in a farewell speech at the American Luncheon club today, said that in 1910 when sixteen American warships spent several weeks in European waters, he submitted a secret report to the ad- mirai commanding that in his opinion, and that of many American and Brit ish officers war could not be put off more than four years. He stated that he just wanted to mention this fact for what it was worth.
 After referring to his 'undiplomatic remarks at the Guildhall in London several years ago, when he asserted that Great Britain and the United States wound be found together in the next year, he reviewed the work of the navy, saying that it had co-operated closely with the American army in keeping communication lines.
 There was no friction" Admiral ] Sims declared. That may seem a 1 platitude, but all my reading of naval 1 history has convinced me that this was l the first instance in the world when
 an army and navy really co-operated. l Most commanders spent the balance of
 their lives writing how the other fel- low was mistaken. I have the great
 est admiration for John Pershing. He
 had the greatest job any commander
 ever had, and you would be surprised | if you knew the trouble we had to get 1 the army to the front.
 T not only have the greatest regard
 for General Pershing, but the greatest contempt for the way certain people in the United States are criticizine him. If anyone needs praise, he does
 with a lot of small things on the othel side barking at his heels.'' @n

rose is to be chairman of the great senate committee of fiuance and the reactionarieS are dictatinS the policy of the party"
 Secretary Daniels declared in his address that he was curious to know just what evidence would convince the 'proie ssional partisan leaders of the republican party" that the sober sentiment of the great majority Of our people, desires the league of nations.
 Tt would seem fair to assume said MT. Daniels, that d mandate Of con- gress, passed by a practically unani- nous vote of both houses, directing the president to do all i'll his power I to create such d league, might answer their fastidious requirements. Let Us see. for q moment, how such iegls- latiou could be drawn Gp and make q First, naturally, would come q p1eamt- guess at their attitude toward It. ble on the policy of the country. Let us start it out something like this:
 It is hereby declared that it is the policy of the United States to adjust and settle it's international disputes through mediation or arbi- tration, to the end that war may be honorably avoided
 This should be followed by a di- rcction to the president to take prac tiCal steps to carry out the policy We might well put it this way: Tn view of the premises, the premises, the president is authorized and requested to invite, at an ap- prCpriate time, not later than the close of the war in Europe, all the great governments of the world tc send representatives to conference which shall be charged with the duty r1. t,,,r 1.,,. arbitration or other tribunal, to which disputed questions between nations shall be referred for adjudi- cation and peaceful settlement"
 Stating that this would seem tt cover the situation pretty thorough ly." MT. Daniels added:
 ! Gentlemen what l have read is no a fanciful sketch of a proposed piece of legislation. It is a law of the United States of America, now or our statute boks, passed by these same gentlemen in 1916 which yol may verify for yourselves by readm! the naval appropriation act approv ed by the president of the United States on August 20, 1916.
 The text of the act, as quoted b, him, said:
 ''It is hereby declared to be tn, policy of the United States to adjus and settle it's international dispute, through mediation or arbitration tt the end that war may be hOnora bly avoided It 1eoiSss with apprehension and disfavor upon a general increase of armament throughout the world but it realizes that no single natiol can disarm, and without common agreement upon the subject ever, ! considerable power must maintain relative standing in military strength
