Paris, Wednesday. April 23.-(Bv
the Associated Press. THE date Of
the arrival of the German peace
delegation at Versailles is still IN
determined and the allied represen-
tatives apparently are not pressing g
for haste in view of the fact that
the uncertainties of the Italian
situation might possibly make en-
early Inauguration of formal dis

of the allied powers and the Ger

Andre Tardieu, who is in charge Of

any freedom being given the Ger

must continue to be treated as en-

Some Decisions Not Reached.
The supposition that the delay il

treaty has been due entirely to ma

dored. it being admitted in confer
ence circles that final decisions
have not yet been reached on
of secondary questions
which though of minor importance,
must be included in the document.
Among these questions are the de-
tails relative to the disposition OF
the German cables. some aspects
as to reparations, the agreement OF

BETTER SWINE AND PROFITS
Farmers Learning to Be More Careful
In Selection Of Their Breed
Ing Animals.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
Farmers throughout the country are
using improved hog-breeding stock
more generally than ever before. re-
port specialists of the United States
department of agriculture, as they are
learning that the best stock yields the
most profits, and hence are more care
full In their selection Of breeding ami
mails. Farmers, as rule. seem to be
pleased with the outlook for the hog
raiser. and the indications point to a
large increase In the number of filters
to be narrowed this fall. Much trouble
was experienced with the early spring
filters because Of cold weather at far
rowing time and on account of feed
shortage and the high price Of pro-
tein feeds, causing many stOckmen to
allow their brood sows to get into poor
condition. with the result that small
and weak filters were farrowed. In
the main. these farmers have learned
. costly lesson, and henceforward 1t il
presumed that they will provide better
housing and narrowing conditions as
well as ample food Of the right mix
ture for their porkers.
