seed this fall? This is a question
every farmer should ask himself

every farmer should ask himself.
Owing to the peculiar weather
conditions this past winter and spring
there is a larger number Of diseases
prevalent in the wheat as we'll as
other crops. Some of those diseases
are loose smut, covered or shrinking
smut, black stem rust, leaf rust, and
two kinds of scab which has caused
the blasted heads. Some fields ran
30 per cent diseased.
The disease can be treated by US
ing the hot-water method and for
maldehyde treatment and the scabs by
longer system OF rotation.
All farmers who have pure wheat
of high yield, and comparatively free
of disease should get in touch with
the county agent. Many farmers will
need new seed wheat this fall. Only
by careful selection can the yield be
raised and the cost of production
lowered. Select your seed in the field
when it is being threshed and in the
bin.

day. the fourteenth of July, will wit
ness scenes of patriotic fervor prob.
ably unparalleled in the history of the
republic, for that is the date pro
visionally agreed upon as most ap-
propriate for the grand march of the
victorious French army through the
streets of the capital.
The program is already beginning
to assume definite shape. The route
will be from the Porte Maillot, at the
main entrance to the Boise de Bou-
logne through the Arc de Triumphe,
along the Avenue des Champs Elysees,
the Place de la Concorde and the Rue
de Rivoli to the Place de Ia Repub-
lique: distance of some eight miles

of decorations have been arranged

of forty. appointed by NJ. Laferre,
minister of Public Instruction, has ap-
proved the scheme submitted.
At the Porte Maillot, between huge
pylons, tribunes will be erected
where the city fathers will welcome
Ithe heroes of Verdun and the Marne.
Along the Avenue de la Grande Armee
decorative plaques will commemorate
battles, the names of which are house
hold words throughout the world
No superfiuous decoration will mar
the architectural beauty of the Arc de
Triumphe. but the vast circus where
twelve noble avenues converge will
be made into one vast ampitheatre
for thousands of spectators.
Decked with profusion of flowers
and flags the Ayenue des Champs

cent spectacle. A monument repre-
senting the League of Nations
symbolizing Victory and Peace. will
be erected on the Terrasse des Feuil.

The Luxor Obelisk on the Place de
la Concorde will form the center OF
an Immense decorative scheme extend
ing to the famous statues represent
ing the chief cities of France. The
decoration of the other streets through
which the pageant will pass, will be
left in the hands of the authorities OF
the different city wards.
Regret is felt in some quarters that
by July so many of the actual part
icipents in the great battles will have
been demobilized. This will, however
not detract from the fervent homage
that will be paid to the coors of the
famous French regiments which cover
ed themselves with glory.

Paris, May 31.---Premier Clemenceau,
as president of the peace conference
to-day replied to the last two German
notes. Official statements on the re.
plies have not been Issued.
The greater part OF the objections
raised in the German counter.propos.
ais have, in the opinion of the French
diplomatic and political circles, already
been set forth in separate German
notes and duly answered by the Allies
Consequently, It is said, there can be
no modification of the peace terms.
and there is no necessity for verbal
discussions in which Berlin desired
to involve the Allies. It is understood
that the council Of four will agree
in taking this view In answering the
Germans. The German peace delega.
tion has been notified that the period
Of delay for presenting further obser.
vations having expired Thursday, no

ALLIES HAVE GERMAN REPLY
Council Of Four viii Report Back
EARLY Decision .

Paris, May 31.-The representatives
of the allied and associated powers
at last have before them the answer
of Germany TO the terms of the peace
treaty
The members of the Council Of Four
will digest the views of the enemy
and report back their decision as
quickly as possible, This decision is
to be final and Germany then will be
compelled either to sign or reject the
treaty.
In case of declination to sign,
British, French and American troops
are prepared to take such steps as
Marshal Foch may deem necessary,
while at sea the old blockade against
Germany is ready to be frightened
again. A plan of the allies to have
Switzerland in the event of a refusal
by Germany to sign, enforce more
severe blockade against Germany il
necessary, is reported to have failed
Switzerland claiming this would in
| fringe Swiss neutrality.
