Of Agreement.

Increased strength in the opposition
to the league of nations was claimed
yesterday by Senator's. who are lead
ing the fight against acceptance of
the league by the Senate.
Part of the optimism Of the league
opponents was due to the return to

since they. pledged themselves to OPP
pose the league. Among those who
returned were Senators wadsworth,
of New York, and Watson, Of Indiana
Both declared themselves unreserved- :
ly against the league covenant in its
present form.
Senator Wesley Jones, of Washing
ton. said he is in favor of a number
of radical changes in the document
and that unless these changes are
made he will not vote for It. ,
Senator Wadsworth said the people
Of New York will oppose ratification
OF the present draft.
Senator Watson said he will not
vote for the league unless radical
changes are made.
Opponents of the league have not
given up hope Of winning over SEN
ator McNary. Of Oregon Senator
Poindexter. of Washington, sharply
criticized President wilson's stand on
the Japanese-Chinese controversy over
the Shantung peninsula.

FARM BUREAU sWORK
PROVES SUCCESSFUL
Monthly Report of Work Done
in Idaho Shows Excellent
Progress Made in Cow Test

The monthly report of farm bureau
work for the state of Idaho under the

In cooperation with the United States
department of agriculture covering the
work done during January, 1919, shows
that the progress made in cow testing

excellent.
The report covers each county.
Counties are governed by president
and county agent. That the counties
are entirely in sympathy with the
movement of getting better results
from farming and stock growing by
the agriculturists attending meetings
and working hand in hand with the
county agent, is evidenced by the ac-
ton of the county commissioners of
Bannoclz county appropriating $4,000
for farm bureau work in 1919, the
commissioners of Bonneville county
