PICKING OUT POOR HENS
Poultry cuIIins Demonstrations Held
in This County Last Week


The poultry culling demonstrations
held last week by County Agent Shaw,
and the extension specialist, A. L.
Smith, go TO show how valuable the
work of the Farm Bureau is to the
farmers and to the general public who
take advantage of this opportunity of
getting valuable agricultural informant
ion.
Meetings were held in nine towns
with a total attendance of 1873 peo-
pie. Seventy-two different flocks
were represented with total of 3441
birds. There was much interest mani
tested at all of the meetings and Mr..
Smith had several of the people at
each meeting handling and culling the
birds successfully in order that they
might Gull their own flock judiciously
Last fall nearly $4,000 birds were
culled in the state and SO per cent
were thrown out. Therefore approx
imately 1900 of the S441 represented
at this culling should be disposed OF
by September 1st.
1t costs practically 25 cents per
month to keep mature fowl. One
can clearly see the value of culling
at the proper time in order TO make
poultry keeping profitable.

British Fire on Boats, Killing

FEW DETAILS ARE KNOWN
Skeleton Crews Composed Of Germans
Swim or Take Small Boats
From Ships

Berlin June 22.-Most of the great
warships surrendered by Germany
are at the bottom of the waters of
Scapa Flow, north of the Scottish
mainland, having been scuttled by
their German crews. The Germans
either swan ashore or went in small
boats. Some were fired on by the
British guardships.
Before the Germans opened the sea
cocks to sink the ships, the Imperial
German ensign was hoisted on all the
fieet. Only meagre details of the
dramatic event are obtainable. The
Admiralty last evening issued this
statement:
According to the lateset reports
from Scapa Flow, all the interned
battleships' and battle cruisers have
sunk except the battleship Baden,
which is still afloat. Five light
cruisers have sunk, but three have
been beached Eighteen destroyers
were beached by local tugs Four des-
troyers are still afloat. The rest OF
the destroyers have sunk.
A German. rear admiral and most oi
the Germans from the ships are now
in custody aboard British ships. Some
boats from the ships refused to stoI
when ordered and were fired on. A
small number of Germans were kill
ed or wounded.
In accordance with the terms of the
armistice the German ships were in
termed with skeleton crews as care
takers and without British guards
aboard.

Washington, June 22.-Decision of
the German National Assembly today
to sign the treaty of peace formulated
by the Versailles conference was in
nowise surprising to officials in Wash
ington. Belief has been general in
official circles here since the Germans
were handed the peace terms that
eventually the German delegation
would be instructed to affix its sigma
ture. This feeling was much accentu-
ated by the fall Of the Scheidmann
cabinet
Many officials predicted privately at
the outset of the negotiations with
the German delegates that the minis
try headed by Philip Schiedmann
would give way to another cabinet
before the actual signing took place
The large majority recorded in the
Weimar Assembly in favor Of signing
the treaty was considered by officials
here as an accurate reflection of the
dominant desire of the German people
for peace at the earliest moment.

ITALIANS DISTURBED
BY PARIS CRITICISM
Blame French Propasandists for Ae-
eusatlons Against Italian Politics

Paris, June 2l.--The Italian delega.
tion to the Peace Conference has
been much disturbed by frequent sug
gestions in the French newspapers
that German influences are affecting
Italian politics and also by intima-
tions that the Italians have supplied
arms and ammunition to Bella Kuns
Soviet Government In Hungary.
Members OF the Italian delegation
say the alleged French feeling
against Italy is easily explained by
the work of French propagandists,
who are blamed by the Italian for the
recent unfriendliness OF the Italians
to President Wilson and the United
States. The delegation has been ad-
vised from Rome Of the designation
by King Victor Emmanuel OF Signor
Nitti to form new Cabinet. Up to
the present, however, the members of
the delegation are without official In.
