NATIONS PROGRESS
ON PEACE PLAN
WILSON'S SCHEME is SLOWLY
TAKING FORM ACCORDING TO,
PARIS REPORTS.

Paris AS far as it has developed
the general scheme for a league OF
nations agrees with previous fore
casts. 1t is learned that the United
States, Great Britain, France, Italy
and Japan will form the nucleus and
will declare that the league will pre-
serve the peace of the world and JUS
tice to all. An arbitrai court will be
created and it will be backed by the
combined force of ali.
The central powers and neutral ma
tions, it is said, will be taken in as
probationers as fast as they demon
strate that they are self-governing
people and give evidence Of good
faith to abide by the decisions OF the
league. .sf
What it calls '.the American plan
for league Of natiens" is outlined
by the Paris edition of the London
Daily Mail. The paper says that the
British government has accepted the
plan and IS prepared to go much
farther.

CLUBS AID FEEDING METHODS
Very Noticeable Changes Have Come
About as Result of Demonstra-
tlons by Members.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
One of the outstanding effects OF
the boys and girls pig club work is the
Improvement in feeding methods en-
ployed by adults who have followed
the lead of some club member. Even
in the leading hog-producing states,
where the quality of the hogs is high,
very noticeable changes in feeding
practices have come about as the re-
suit of the demonstrate made by
club members.
In some instances 1t mas been the
use of a self-feeder for fattening hogs
by club member that was the means
OF causing the farmers of that commu-
nifty to adopt the same method. In
other sections the use of balanced
ration by a club member caused the
farmers in his neighborhood to realize
that corn alone is poor and expen-
sive hog feed, or that grazing crops or
good pastures are essential to ecpnomi-
cal gains on swine. In one county In
Kentucky the pig-club demonstrations
were the means of increasing the use
of tankage, as a supplement to corn,
from two tons to Is tons per year in
two years time. In Alabama the pig
club agent obtained pound Of rape
seed for each member who made pre-
liminary report on his or her pig. AS
a result of this small beginning one
store in one county sold over 1000
pounds of rape seed that fall and l.
500 pounds the following spring, and
now that county is green with grazing
crops for hogs. Since rape has made
a place for itself in that county, the
use of soy beans, cowpeas. velvet
beans. ETC., is now being pushed. Sim
liar results, though perhaps less strik-
ing, have been obtained in other states.
Sixty-eae per cent of the members who
completed their work last year report
the use of grazing or pasture crops.
The demonstrations by the boys are
closely watched by the adults. The

and final weights, the amounts and
