SENATORS AND THE. TREATY

There seems TO be an opinion
An eXpectation-in some quar-
tiers that the breathing spell be-
tween the special session and .he
regular session of Congress will
have an Influence On the peace
treaty situation that senators
will spend the time sounding
home sentiment OH the subject.
and return to Capitol Hill dis
posed to heed what they may
have gathered by such CONFER
cree.
The time is short-only week.
How much Information on so inn
portant matter may be gather
ed i'll so brief a period ? And
how, granting the purpose, will
senators go about the business :?
Hold one or more conferences
with lieutenantS, and lump the
sentiment of the rank and file in
that way ?
This expectation seems to as
sumo two things First, that
senators were not III close touch
with their constituents while the
p~otracted debate was proceed
ing, and. second, that they are
holding their opinions rather
lightly, Neither proposition is
t-"abje. Senators must have
kept themselves advised about
home sentiment at every stage of
the debate, and the debate has
shown that all participants have
been very much in earnest in
every word spoken and vote cast.
Let us take the situation as it
actually stands, and reason from
that.
AT the outset, there were two
propositions. One. based upon
the Presidents position, was that
the pact must be ratified as pre-
scented, without the dotting Of
All i, or the crossing of t." The
ofher was that reservation were
essential, and must accompany
ratification. A third PROPOSE
ton, that the treaty should not
be ratified al all, either with or
without reservation, had so few
supporters it was negligible.
After tustle. lasting for
months, matters came to this ::
There must be reservations. But
Of what character, and how ex-
pressed? AS no agreement could
be reached on that point, ratif-
cation failed. Immediately fter
the vote Congress adjourned for
the session, and there we are.
Can it be truly said that an
agreement on reservation is i'm
possible ? The open ATTEMPT to
reach al agreement at the special
session was begun late. There
was a good deal Of jockeving BY
both sides-too much for the
good of the treaty. Some pride
of opinion showed itself, and
soAle maneuverings from the
mere JOY Of battle could be de-
tected.
WHY, when Congress reas assem-
bles. should not both sides move
for an agreement? Why not drop
al! Jockeying. and get down to
cases ? When the issue was resc1-
yat1OnS or no reservations.
warm contest was in the nature
OF things. But reservations are
conceded now, and the only ques-
ton relates to their scope and
form. A fortnight, we'll en-
ployed, should suffice to bring
tile two sides together.-Wash-
iugton Evening Star.

Sorghum Syrup-The average yield OF

Clanton to Ship Hogs

Probate Judge Reynolds and Tox Coilec-
tor Collins of Chiffon county are IN
teresting themselves in securing market
for several carloads of hogs raised by
the farmers of Chiffon county AS Chill
ton county does not provide an approp-i-
alton for a farm demonstration agent III
that county, officials have appealed 10
the division Of markets of the Alabama
extension service at Auburn for assis-
lance.
NJ. II. Pearson, marketing specialist
has just returned from Clanton, where
temporary arrangements have been per-
fected as to pens, and scales, and the SAFE
will take pla &c on Tuesday, November
25th. This will be the first cooperative
sale conducted in Chiffon county, and
with the active assistance of the coui-
ty officials it will no doubt be success.
A good many pure bred hogs are raised
in that section.

Meat Consumption

That the farmers are the chief PORK
and poultry consumers, when COMPARE
son is made on a per capita, while the
city jewellers eat greater proportion of
beef, veal and mutton is shown by the
estimates of the per capita consumption
of each kind of meat and poultry by the
urban rural population. which have just
been completed by the bureau of crop
estimates. This is the first adequate IN
formation concerning the meat consump-
ton of various sections of the county
and of the city and country population
that has ever been obtained.
The total meat consumption per capita
is per cent greater in the country than
In the city, and excess in varying degrees
is found in every one of the customary
geographic divisions. Beef consumption is
nearly two-thirds greater in the city than
in the country
In both veal and mutton consump-
ton per capita, the city exceeds the coun-
try, veal by I19 per cent, and there is a
varying preponderdance of the city con-
sumption in all sections, except that NUT
ton consumption per capita is greater in
the country in the west; that is. between
the great plains and the Pacific ocean.
If beef, veal, and mutton are combined,
the city exceeds the country in per capita
consumption by two-thirds
What the country loses in comparison
with the city in the per capita consuinp~
ton of beef, veal and mutton, is more
than offset by what it gains in the cor
sumption of pork and poultry. These are
the meats, If poultry may be called meat,
that are more especially adapted to the
country than the others. The per capita
consumption of pork and poultry in the
country IS everywhere above that in the
city, and for the United States as whole
the country is nearly two-thirds for pork
and more than one-third for poultry.
Beef, veal, and poultry consumption rer
capita are higher in the north than in the
south, but in pork consumption the south
is higher. The west is above the other
sections in beef and mutton consumption
and Is barely below the leading section,
the north Atlantic, in veal consumption,
but 1t is lowest in poultry consumption,
and except in comparison with the north
Atlantic states, is lowest in pork consuIrp-
ton.

Diseased Carcasses

Warning against the feeding of diseas-
ed cattle carcasses to hogs is sounded by
the United States department of agricul-
ture. A conference of state and federal
officials, held early in October to deal
with matters of tuberculosis eracation
brought to light numerous instances
where hogs contracted tuberculosis after
feeding on carcasses of tuberculous cattle
In one case nearly an entire drove of hogs
showed LESSONS of tuberculosis which at
first the owner could not account for.
Later he admitted to the veterinarian
investigating the case that several months
gefore he had fed the hogs the carcass
of COW that ''rever did very WELL
The bureau of animal industry urges
live stock owners to have a careful
autopsy made on animals dying on the
farm or killed because of sickness in
order that the definite cause of trouble
may be learned Carcasses that show
LESSONS of infectious diseases should not
be fed. Instead, such carcasses should
be cared for so that no part can be eaten
by hogs. Thorough destruction of the
carcass by burning, or by deep burial
under a liberal application of quicklime,
is the proper procedure in such cases
Attention is called also to the danger of
feeding offal from slaughtered animals
to swine as such a practice is another
source of infection.

turned out to be very unsatisfactory.
while that of the runner variety was bet

evidently due to the fact that harvest was

Make Stock Famous

The farmers of New Hampshire have
recently given proof of their determine
ton to make their state known for the
quality of it's live stock by organizing
Holstein, Jersey. AYRSHIRE and Guern-
sey associations and by a quickened in
terest in the New England Hereford
Breeders association and the State Sheep
Breeders association. The National
Guernsey Cattle club has selected Peter
boro, N. H., as its permanent headquar
tiers.
These activities are expected to accel-
crate the progress of the Better Sires-
Better Stock campaign recently insti-
tuted in the state by the New Hampshire
College of Agriculture and the United
States department of agriculture. Al
ready there has developed great interest
in the official federal-statf emblem, be-
slowed free of charge upon those who
have been certified as using only pure
bred sires of good quality.

Kept From Crossing

While keeping two distinct breeds of
poultry in one yard without mixing the
creeds seems difficult, it can be accom-
plished easily and with satisfactory re-
suits, as shown by the account of an ex-
perience just received by the department
of agriculture from New England poul-
try raiser. One of the kinds kept is a
SO called egg breed, the other being a
general-purpose variety of poultry. The
method of preventing crossing is as fol-
lows:
One year BOOSTERS of the egglaying breed
are retained and used for breeding, no
other males being kept The following
year ROSTERS of only the general purpose
stock are kept. The difference in the
color of eggs of the two breeds selected
is so great that Matching eggs have al
ways been selected with certainty as to
the breed laying them. The plan neces-
states introducing new males, but the
advantages of keeping the blood lines of
two breeds separate outweigh the slight
cost of purchasing the males. The de-
parement of agriculture points out that
when this method is followed on two
neighboring farms an exchange of roost-
ers might readily be arranged.

FIRST CALL WAS FOR SOAP
Nothing Germans at cobIenz Would
Net nn for That Article
Pepper Came Next.

German supplies were getting rather
SHORT when the American army Of oc-
cupation moved across the Rhine at
Coblenz. The population was eating
a tough black bread which was nothing
more than bran mash, wearing paper
clothes, and going virtually unWHlshed,
as they had no soap.
There is almost nothing the Ger
mans won't do for piece of Ameri-
can soap. The washwomen will darn
impossible holes in the doughboy's
socks, mend his trousers, scrub his
leggins, and would stand guard in his
place if assured they will be rewarded
with portion of this delicacy. Soap
! takes the preference over cigarettes,
| chocolates or chewing gum.
The Germans have an imitation soap
| they provide for the populace. 1t looks
like soap and makes a rich-appeaiing
| lather, but 1t isn't soap. 1t doesn't do
the work. You might as well try to
shave with the foam from their bad
| oils or fats in it, 1t is plain camou
| flage.
| Another thing the Germans are shy
on is pepper. A person who has al
ways had pepper might give it little
thought and it probably would be the
last thing included in an "iron ration,

you'll begin to think that it is the staf
