VERY SERIOUS OBJECTION

Senator McCumber: Is there any
objection to their being produced before
the committee?'
The President: Il think there is
very serious objection. The reason
we constituted that very small confer
ence was so we could speak with the
utmost absence of restraint, and think
it would be mistake to make of those
discussions outside. l do not remember
any blazing indiscretion of my own

NOTICE TO NATIONS

The President: Merely as an argu-
ment to the conscience Of the nations. IN
other words, it is a notice served on
them that their colleagues will expect
that at the time they withdraw they
will have fulfilled their obligations.
The President acquisced in sugges-
ton by Senator Pittman that any change
would require resubmission to Germany
Senator Lodge: "I had supposed it
had been the general diplomatic prac-
tice with regard to reservation
which apply only to the reserving
power-that silence was regarded as
accordance and acquiescence."
The, President: There is some dt1-
ference of opinion among the authori- :
ties, / am informed. I have not had
time to look them up myself about
that: but it is clear to me that IN
treaty which involves so many sis ni-
tories a series of reservations-Whlr
would ensue undoubtedly would very
much obscure our confident opinion as
to how the treaty was going to work.
Senator Williams: Mr.. President,
suppose, for example, that we adopted
a reservation, as the senator from
Massachusetts calls it, and that Ger
RAINY did nothing about it at all, and
aflerward contended that 50 far as that
was concerned it was new matter 70

Ing with the agricultural agents who
go there in their interests. The
planting of so many soy beans by
the farmers is one of the best things
they can do for the land. The SOW
bean is regarded by many as even
a better plant for the land than is
the COW pea. Mr.. Brammer is also
promoting much interest in tn e
raising of better live stock in Jack

about two months ago, the farm
agent has been instrumental in
placing IN that county two thorough

states that he regards the work of

JAMES N. GRAY HELPS
JACKSON FARM AGENTS

District Agent James M. Gray, of
the mountain agricultural extension
work, returned yesterday from jazz
son county where he went the lat
ter part of the week in the interest
of forming organization meetings in
the different townships of that coun-
ty. The meetings were called by
county and home demonstration
agents of that county. John Bram-
mer is the Jackson county farm
agent and Miss Feimster is the home
demonstration agent.
Agent Gray reports that the meet
ings were we'll attended and that
much enthusiasm and cooperation
was shown the three agents by the
Jackson county people. Meetings
were held at Qualla, Glenville and
Tuckase;gee. At Qualla Grady Coop
er and others were instrumental in
promoting interest in the meetings.
W. NJ. Fowler, a merchant and farm
er, of Glenville, took much interest
in the meetings at place and at
Tuckaseigee John Tritt, Baxter
Hooper and others were the leaders
OF the community in promoting an
organization meeting at that place.
Glenville, where one of the organi-
zatiOn meetings was held, has an
altitude of $500 feet above sea
level.
County Agent Brammer has been
doing some sp4eldlI work Il JACK
son county, according to Mr.. Gray.
While Agent Gray was with him
the Jackson county man received a
Car load, CTS bushels, of soy beans,
ordered by him for the farmers
Two years ago, it is said. there were
practically no soy beans or other
leguminous plants used in that
county. This is regarded as great
advancement for the Jackson cogln-
ty farmers and Agent Gray is well
pleased with the way in which the

TO THE FARMERS

10 the farmers of Jackson county
/ ! wish to say few words about or.
Eganlzation. First, we have a Coun.
~ demonstration and why can't we
organize and give him something
TO DO that will benefit us? He
seems very willing to help the
farmer more, if they would organ.
lze so he could reach us without
gong to each one individually,
which is impossible.
Now | may hit the farmers of
my own community, but they
Know it is true. Last year, or rath-
:er in the fall of 1917, we organized
a Farmers Union at Glenville, ard
1t was thriving nicely until the peo-
pie had secured their fertilizer for
the coming season and then thew
quit. 1t is very easy to organize
the farmers when they want to
buy something or sell something.
AS we have Demonstration and
are paying him any way, lets or
eanlze and get something out of it.
Ii the farmers of each township
were organized we could send him
to market to buy our seeds and fer
tilizer and also send him to the
market to sell our farm products
and think we would realize more
out of what we raise to sell and get
what we buy cheaper. | think the
Farmers Uuion is the best thing
Tor the farmers, but we don't neces-
sarlly have to buy a charter from
the State and pay the dues, which
are very small. Why not the
farmers meet once each month in
every township in the county and
elect them a president and secretary
or business agent aud an executive
committee and discuss the questions
that are most vital to them, and
let each farmer report to the secre-
tary just what he wants to buy OIL
sell and then let each secretary OF
each organization throughout the
County report to the County
demonstration? Then he would know
each month just what the farmers
want to buy or sell.
What do you say about o7eaniza-
ton? THos. F. Moss.

THE FAIR.

The fate of the Jackson County
Fair hangs in the balance, and
whether this institution, that has
accomplished a great deal in the
agricultural development of.th {
county and section, shall be contin:
ued, rests with the people of the
county.
1t is admitted that the fact that
cheap shows and clap trap gambling
devices connected with carnivals
that have visited the Fairs in the
past have tended to cheaper the
whole institution and have given it
an unWh0lesome flavor. But there
is so much of the good conn. cted
with it and the bad can be so easily
eliminated that it is inconceivable
that we shall allow the Fair to die
because of lack of popular appre-
citation and patronage, at the time
when it should just be entering upon
the era of its greatest usefulness.
This county has just passed
through the crisis of its history and
by the grace of God has come out
OF the crucible with flying colors,
and the boys are returning from
overseas thinking, breathing and
talking progress. We have both a
County Farm Demonstration Agent
and Home Demonstration Agent,
both of whom are on the Job CO op-
Grating with the people in stimulat-
ing the farming industry and assist
ing in the development of home
economics. The county, the section,
the town (the interests of all of
which are so closely connected and
interviewer as to beinseperable) are
just at the dawning of their progress
and prosperity. Progress should be
our watchword. We cannot afford
to take a backward step in any re-
spect. sy'
Let us hear from the people in
regard to this matter. Let the d.
rectors of the Fair Association know
where you stand. And then let us
all work together for clean, whole
some Fair that will be a time of
good-fellowship and thanksgiving at
the |close of the harvest season this
year.
