1t is provided that the treaty shall

Unusually high temperatures for this

PENALTY For WAR
FORMER KAISER TO BE PLACED
ON TRIAL BEFORE A TRIBUNAL
AT LONDON
Lloyd George, Who Gives Unqualified
Approval to Work Of Peace Confer
enee, Promises Punishment for
Mad Dog of Europe.

LOndon.-In the house of commons
on July B, Premier Lloyd George de
livered an explanatio OF the peace
treaty, which he described as the most
"moment0us document to which the
British empire ever affixed its SEAL"
Though showing the effects of his
long labors at Paris and lacking his
usual fire, the premier at times made
Iimpassioned utterances, and was loud
~ cheered. His announcement that
the former German emperor would
soon be placed on trial before trib.
iunal sitting In London was cheered
most of all, while his presentation OF
the Anglo-French convention, provid-
ing for British aid if Germany should
attack France unprovoked--a conven.
ltion analogous to one between the
United States and France--was greet.
ed with restrained approval.
Discussing the determination of the
allied and associated powers to place
on trial William Hohenzollern, the for
mer German emperor, as the man held
chiefly responsible for the war, he de-
clared that if such a course had been
followed after other wars, "there
would have been fewer wars" 1t was
the intention to make such an example
of Germany as to discourage others
from fever again attempting to repeat
this infamy."
There was a significant passage
when the premier first mentioned the
League Of Nations. Many of the mem
'bers cheered, but seemingly nearly an
equal number burst into laughter.
Il beg Of you to try it. beg of you
to take it seriously" the psemier pro-
tested.
Proceeding, he declared: "If it saved
only one generation from the horrors
of war, it would be a great achieve
ment."

FARMERS OVERLOOK
VALUE OF PEANUTS
Great Difficulty Exists in Procur-
ing Pure Seed.
Few Years Of Proper Selection WIN
Give Grower Strain OF Seed That
Cannot Be Had From Any
Other Source.

: prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
Scarcely a day passes that Inquiries
! are not received relative to the peanut
industry. In the South. 1t is strange,
indeed, that the southern farmers
have SO long overlooked the real value
Of the peanut as part Of their crop
ping system and that the present high
market prices Of peanuts were nee,
essary to awaken the farmers to their
opportunity. Nothing has been found
that will excel the true Spanish va
riety for general cultivation, on south
ern farms. Great difficulty exists,
however, in procuring pure seed. The
only way that the farmers Of the
South can be sure of a high-producing
strain of pure Spanish is by growing
q seed patch from specially selected
seed.
Thirty-six pounds Of clean Spanish
peanuts in the shell will plant an acre,
and one-acre seed patch, If properly
handled. will produce enough seed to
plant about 30 acres the next year.
With this fact before them, 1t should
be a comparatively easy matter for
the peanut growers to get on the right
basis, SO far as the seed supply is
concerned. The seed used for plant
ing the seed acre should first be
carefully selected in the pr, then
shelled by hand, and the shelled peas
again carefully gone over, and all that
are orr color or inferior either in
size or shape should be discarded.
A few years of proper selection win
give the farmer a strain Of seed pea
nuts for his conditions that cannot
be had from any other source. By
this method, together with proper cul
tural practices and crop rotation, the
yield per acre can be greatly in.
creased. About the only method
whereby the farmer can hope to make
profit is by cutting down production
costs through increased yields per
acre. The future of the peanut in.
dustry in the South is almost with.
out limitations, and the farmers who
get into the business on the right
basis are going to obtain the highest
profits. /
