HOW MUCH FENCE TO THE ACRE,

National Crop Improvement servics.l
If asked, man would say that no
matter what the shape of the acre,
the same amount Of fencing would be
needed, but a moments reflection will
make 1t clear that the nearer a plot
is square, the less fence it viii take.
for instance, one square acre is -
rods, 10 feet and o inches on each side,
and win require 80 rods and 10 feet
of fence. If the acre is 16 rods long
and 10 rods wide, it win take 50 rods.
If the acre is s rods wide and 20t rods
long, it will take IS rods.
In figuring larger tracts, thet num-
Der of acres does not matter. If you
have the dimensions of length and
width. 1t win take one mile of fence
to inclose 40 acres, if squaps, but it
only takes two miles to encllsse plot
four times as large or 100 acres
If the ground is uneven, "a Will take
just the same amount of fence posts
that it would if the ground were level.
1t win take more fence wire, but II
you will remember your old problegn
In arithmetic, the numbsr of posts on
side hill plot will be. just the Same
as on 81 level plot because they sand
perpendcular.
Posts are generally placed orsaI rod

and over again, notably in 1890 and
in 1906, when having Resolved,
further that the senate, as part OF
this ratification" it made certain
reservations. In each of these
cases, the other parties accepted the
amendments and no further action
by our government was required.
The same thing can be done again
done in forty-eight hours after
the treaty is received If the terms of
peace with Germany only be brought
under consideration. Not a single
senator would vote or speak a word
against those terms pronounced sat
isfactory by the European Allies.
But that, we are duly informed, Mr..
Wilson will not have. 1t is not
peace that he wants; it is his pre-
cious league He will have that or
nothing.
None can deny the magnitude of
Mr.. Wilson's sacrifice. it is stupen-
dous. Naturally he wants his re-
ward his coveted prize; and the
only way he can get it is by brow
Audubon Republican. [volume] (Audubon, Iowa) 1894-1925, 1919-05-22
THE RESPONSIBILITY

The mandate has gone forth. The
senate must confirm the peace trea-
ty, including the league covenant,
without dotting an or crossing a t.,
or the president will keep the coun-
try at war with Germany. That is
the threat which is oozing daily
with increasing emphasis out of
Paris. Mr.. Wilson has stamped his
heel into the ground. He must
have his own way in every particu-
lar. His Interpretation of the
vices in the air transcends the col
lective wisdom of all other Ameri-
can statesmen. Whoever may VEN
ture to doubt his omniscience or
oppose his determination shall be
crushed. He will go to the people.
He is firm.
To which we say, Shucks! We
have heard that kind of talk before.
gressional election last fall Or
lando and Sonnino heard it only a
fortnight ago And the American
people heard it in the first instance
| and the Italian people in the sec
ond, with consequences to the would
be dictator strikingly similar to
those experienced by the traditional
lad iyited to the woodshed by a reso-
lutte sire with single in his hand.
But it is the province of school
masters to teach, not to learn. So
we are to have 1t all over again.
Undoubtedly the inspired World
speaks by the card when it declares
that "this is treaty that cannot be
made over by the senate" that
anything less than out-and-out rat
ification is equivalent to rejection"
and that IL the whole thing is not
approved "as 1t stands" the United
States will be excluded from the
peace" and state of war will con-
tinue indefinitely. Consequently
the senate must waive its constitu-
tional prerogatives, ignore its re-
sponsibilites and refuse to perform
the duty imposed and accepted by
the oath of office, at the behest of an
individual, simply because for the
time being he happens to the presi-
dent.
1t is all buncombe, of course.
Probably, though far from surely,
not even the World would maintain
that the senate would have been en-
dowed with the right to amend pro-
posed treaties IL it had not been ex-
pected to exercise that right. And
there is nothing peculiar in the ex-
listing situation in a technical sense.
The senate can amend and ratify at
the same time. 1t has done so over
Audubon Republican. [volume] (Audubon, Iowa) 1894-1925, 1919-05-22

beating the senate; hence the pros
pective appeal to the people to rise
en- masse and forbid the dotting OF
an or the crossing of a t.
Well, however deeply we may and
ordinarily do sympathize with one
who strives but vainly with all his
might and main, it can't be done.
Whatever form the changes may
take, whether of complete excision of
all references to the league or of
amendments designed to safeguard
the traditional policies of the coun-
try, the present senate will never ac-
cept the odious covenant, "as Ut
stands"
And If peace settlement shall fail
or be delayed in consequence of Mr..
Wilson's refusal to let the people
themselves determine the way of
the destiny of their own republic,
the responsibility for that failure or
delay will rest squarely upon him
and him alone.-Harvey's Weekly

FARMERS ATTENTION

We have plenty of seed corn and
can take SO to rs acres more for our
factory. We are paying $500 per
ton and the planters have what
husks and cobs they can use.
On account of the heavy rains
which deloyed farm work, there will
doubtless be some fields that cannot

can be planted until the middle of
