WAY TO ADD TO THE FARM
TNfA0MEs

"The time will come-and soon in
some regions the foresters say-when
| it will be necessary to set aside areas
to produce wood and to manage these
areas for maximum wood production in
the shortest possible time,'' according
to advices received at University Farm
from the department Of agriculture in
Washington, D. G. cit is not desir-
able," continues the message, "to de-
vote good agricultural land to this use.
Generally the inferior land on farms
will grow sufficient fuel to supply reg
ularly each years needs.''
This is in line with information
which has been sent out from the col
lege of agriculture, forestry and home
economics to the farmers and owners
Of land in Minnesota. Minnesota is
rich in forest productiveness, and this
"tip' on means of adding to the
farm income as a result Of the certain
increase in the costs of fuel should re-
ceive, say the people Of the college, the
most careful consideration. The farm
er or the land owner who takes advan'
tage of it now and begins to prepare
for the day when the fuel shortage
will become more or less acute, will
some day thank his stars that he heard
opportunity knocking at his door and
was wise enough to open it.
Municipal forests are suggested in
the advices from Washington, and the
information is included that some towns
already own forest tracts which are to
be used for the growing of fuel crops.

THIS THE TIME TO MAKE SURE
OF CROPS.

Right now is the time to make sure
of crops, or at least to begin to make
sure Of crops for the coming summer,
says G. P: Bull, University Farm, st.
Paul. Well cleaned and well graded
seed give better yieds and higher quail
ity Of grains, adds MI. Bull, and this
is the time to clean and grade seed.
BY well cleaned and graded seed Mr..
Bull means seeds which are free from
all badly weathered, blighted, or other
wise light kernels, and which should
have at least the standard weight of
their kind go pounds for wheat, 4s
pounds for barley, etc.
IF seed from the crop grown last year
is not of good quality and at least 80
per cent pure, according to the variety
represented. Mr.. Bull advises its sale
and the purchase Of pure, well graded
seed stock for spring sowing.

WAR COUNCIL WILL
ACT ON PROPOSALS
THREE AMENDMENTS TO LEAGUE
OF NATIONS CONSTITUTION
HAVE BEEN OFFERED.
OPPOSES SPECIAL SECTION
Lord Robert Cecil Says He Con-
= siders League as Proposed Will
Strengthen Effect Of the
Monroe Doctrine.

Paris, March 20.-Three amend.
ments to the covenant of the proposed
League of Nations have been offered
and will be considered by the supreme
war council of the peace conference.
Lord Robert Cecil, British repre-
sentative on the League of Nations
commission, told group of newspa.
per correspondents he did not expect
consideration of the amendments
would delay adoption of the covenant,
declaring they do not affect the ma.
ture of the League.
Lord Cecil said the League, as pro.
posed, would strengthen the Monroe
doctrine, in his opinion, and he did not
favor a special reservation on that sub.
ject in the covenant.
Objects to Special Paragraph.
Asked if insertion of a special para.
graph to cover the Monroe Doctrine is
possible, Cecil replied:
Il doubt the advisability of putting
any power in a special position in ref
erence to the rest of the world"
Discussing Japan's contention for
racial equality, he said:~ However
much we sympathize with the theory
of racial equality, we cannot insert
such a provision in the covenant with
out infringing on the domestic rights
OF individual governments"
Armament Control Limited.
The conference commission on arma-
ment has eliminated indefinite control
by the Allies of German armament, fol-
lowing objection to that course by Ad-
miral w. S. Benson Of the United
States Navy. As amended, the limita.
lions on the German army and navy
will continue only until the delivery
OF German materials, guns and ships
has been completed
international Labor Code Finished
The commission on international
labor legislation had probably its last
meeting today when it reached an
agreement on all points at issue. The
American contention that each country
should settle it's internal labor prob
lens, without invoking the power OF
the League of Nations, prevailed.
Financial Agreement Seen.
The big powers, it is learned are
now In practical agreement regarding
the principle of working out financial
affairs, namely, that the final bill for
reparation must be based on what ex.
perts find Germany will be able to pay
over a comparatively short period OF
years. With the government heads al
ready agreed on this basis, fixing OF
the definite amount of indemnity ap.
peared to be matter Of only a few
days.
Premier Lloyd George has decided to
remain in Paris until the draft of the
treaty of peace is concluded, it is an.
nounced officially.

topic from different angles. Senator

agreed upon by the commission Of the
Peace conference" as porous instru.
ment" on the Interpretation Of which
the signers themselves would be at
odds within II months.
DR.. Lowell admitted that the cove.
nant needed clarifcation,2 but argued
that in substance, as a plan for the
prevention of war, it was sound. .

Reports received from officials of
different states by the department of
agriculture officials at Washing ton
give out the information that there will
be 100000 miles Of new highway built
in 1919 at cost of 1925, 100000, and
an additional sum of $10O,0OO,OOO will
be devoted to the maintenance of 3d.
900 miles of public highways. For CO.
operative road building the federal
government will have at least 1884,
100000 to expend during the next
three years. State highway depart
ments estimate there will be an expen-
diture of $3S5,000,00o for roads and
bridges this year, $4,000 more than
the average for 1916 and 1917. The
new road act, approved by President
Wilson raised the limit of the govern
meht g contribution from not exceed
ing $4,000 to not exceeding $4,000 a
mile. From the foregoing, together
with other plans for the future, it is
evident that road building throughout
the nation is to take on a forward
movement of tremendous proportions.

Due to the fact that majority was

the republicans last fall, they claim
that it is they and not the democratic
administration that speaks the coun-
try's voice. But, there was just re-

rock ribbed republican district of
Pennsylvania due to the death of the
incumbent. Last November the repub-
lican, was elected by over 1000 major
ity. In the special election, the demo
crat defeated the republican candidate,
by 500 majority. It is just possible
that the republican leaders are mis-
taken in their contention.

BUSINESS NEED NOT FEAR FUT-
URE-Bv CARTER GLASS.

Instead of days of dark fOrebod1ng,
these should be days of rejoicing, OF
confidence and of hi gh resolve. America
is least injured Of any of the nations
which took active part in the death
grapple with autocracy on the soil OF
France and Flanders. Except for the
sixty thousand who gave up their lives
and the other thousands who are re-
turning manned, the United States has
made no real sacrifice. Our fields have
not been devastated, our homes and fac
tories have not been RACED, famine does
not stalk among us. In all material
things the nation is richer and strong
er than it was before we went to war.
Is the American spirit less courag>
eous than is the spirit Of the French or
of the Belgians? France, sorrowing,
but undaunted, has set about to repair
the wreck the ruthless invader wrought,
and refuses to view the future darkly.
Belgium, stripped of all save honor,
looks forward to the day when great
er nation will arise on the ruins of the
old. Shall America, then, bend and
groan under the imaginings Of a burden
which it should bear lightly, if felt at
all?
Sight should never be lost of the fact
that America 8 war debt is substantial
]y all owed to the American people.
Money to meet the interest charges on
it and eventually to pay off the princip-
al will flow back to the sources whence
it came. A national debt Of this char
acter is not burden to cripple future
business.
The coming issue of Government
bonds has been designated the Victory
Liberty Loan. It seems to me it might
well be termed the Thanksgiving loan,
for if ever a people had cause for
thanksgiving, We are that people.
