ly what land is to be kept in woods and
what is to be cleared for farm pur-
poses. On many farms there are small
areas improbable for farm purposes
which should be r~eforested as soon as
the price of nursery stock and labor
becomes normal. Now is the time to
make the plans for the future, laying
out with the assistance Of the county
agent a program of woodland improve
ment which shall have for its object
the growing on the land available of
the greatest possible amount Of the
most valuable or most rapid-growing
trees. Then, as time and labor be-
come available, the plans can be car
ried out. The poorer species of trees
should be gradually eliminated and
openings in the woodland filed in just
as the farmer replants the failed place
in his cornfield. A few days spent now
in carefully considering these subjects
will bring ample returns in the future.

DECLARES BERLIN
BROUGHT ON WAR

Count Won Berchtold, who as for
eign minister of Austria Hungary for
mulated and sent the ultimatum to
Serbia which brought about the world
war, was asked to answer these ques-
tions, says Berlin.
l. Why he had made alterations in
the original drafts of records of cabi-
net meetings in Vienna?
2 Whether the German ambassador
at Vienna, Won Tschirschky, had given
him the impression that Berlin wanted
war with Serbia.
Whether 1t was true that he had
no given Won Tschirschky the textual
contents of the ultimatum to Serbian?
4 Whether it was true that he had
not given Berlin any answer to Sir
Edward Grey's last proposal for media
ton, which was forwarded to the Aus
trian government by Berlin?
The count sent the following an
Swer:
81 The subsequent charges and cor
rections in the protocol drafts were
made because the recorder, not being
a stenographer, had made notes in
longhand but not verbatim. AS a re-
suit of this incorrect versions occur
red even whole passages being omit
ed.
20 Repeated conversations and in
terviews, | had with Won Tschirschky
could create nc other impression than
that his (the Germany government ex-
pected warlike action on our part
gainst Serbia. Especially a converse
ton had with him during the early
half of July convinced me that if we
did not show this time that we were
in earnest then on the next occasion
Berlin not only would not support us
but would in fact orient itself in some
other direction.
"3- Tschirschky was informed about
the material points In the ultimatum
to Serbia before the final editing of
the note, and the texual contents
were given to him two days before the
Belgrade demarche.
4 we accepted IN principle Greys
last mediation proposal, with two res
creations which the military found
necessary. The delay in answering
Grey's proposal was due to the fact
that the answer was not determined
by us until July 80, and the ministerial
council, as far as recall, could not
convene until the following day be-
cause of the absence of Tisza.'
