Today's Letter Takes Up

Narrower. Article v declares that ex-
cent where otherwise expressly pro-
vided decisions of the Assembly o.
Council shall require b consent VI
ali the members of the League repre-
sented at the meeting. But an uhanl-
nous decision of forty-nve eouhtIies
can never be attained where there -
anv serious difference of opinion, and
where there is not 1t is needless. 10
authorize the Assembly to take unanl-
nous action on any subject they pleas
ed would, therefore. be Simply con
ferring a power that cannot be USED.
Importance of Discussion.
In view of the other SPECIFIC pro-
visions of the Covenant the Intention
of the clause is perfectly clear. ~
means that the Assembly is authorized
not to decide. but to discuss, all mat
tiers within the sphere OF acton OF me
League or that affect the peace OF the
world. In this 1t is the successor 20
the conferences at the Hague. save
for the very limited authority ex-
pressly vested in 1t the function OF the
Assembly is discussion, and that IS
of immense importance. The mere
fact that any nation, however small,
can bring it's grievances and its as
pirations before a general body OF rep
resentatives gathered from all the
free, orderly and civilized peoples or
the earth is of inestimable value. 1t
is a fertile means of creating that n
lightened public opinion on interna-
tional questions which has been
heralded as one of the chief objects or
a League.
International distrust often arises
from misunderstanding which can De
removed by open conferences; n
points of contact are points of mutual
comprehension. The influence Of ex-
ternal public opinion may well tend to
enlarge and thus reduce what is bad
in excessive chauvinism without less
ening healthy patriotic spirit.
An Inquest of the World.
Disraeli once said hat Pertinent
was the great inquest of the nation.
The Assembly of the League may wei
become the great inquest of the world;
the body where plans for the better
ment of mankind are advocated, and
where codes of international law are
prepared and debated.
1t may be observed that although
each member Of the League Is entitled
send three representatives to the
Assembly the voting is by states. Some
have desired a great parlia-
of the peoples of the earth, but
as vet that is utopian. The organiza-
of the modern world is built upon
and whatever a remote
future may bring forth, at present
peace and order, justice, progress and
must be based upon a con
cert Of free nations.

If some men would go to work for

SPRAY TO DISCOURAGE MITES
Poutryman Who Sprays Three Times
During Season Will Have Little
to Worry About.

The farmer who sprays his chicken
roOstS thoroughly three times during
the season, beginning in April, will
have little cause to worry about mites,
say experienced poutrymcn.
The troublesome poultry house mite
Is almost sure to appear when warm
weather comes. The most common
means OF control IS Kerosene sprayed
upon the perches each week; some
farmers give the rOosts an occasional
coat Of whtewash. These methods,
however, are not always effective, un-
less thoroughly done, for the mite Is
very hardy creature.

preparations which will not mix with

at the New York State College of Agri-
culture say they last longer and do
tho work better. 1t is well to dilute
the acid or coal tar products with
kerosene, so that spray pump can
be used to apply them.
A common formula is one part of
acid to three parts Of Kerosene.

OVERLOOK VALUE OF MANURE
As Agricultural Sections Grow Older
Farmer Learns lts Worth by
Experience.

It Is the history Of the beginnings of
every large agricultural development
on arid or seminrid lands that the
farmer seldom appreciates the value
Of manure, either burning 1t, or ap.
plying 1t carclessly with n view more
Of getting rid Of II than of profting by
1T. AS the irrigated sections grow old
er the farmer learns by dear expert

more frugal farmers carefully save

should be open and free. Permanent
brOUdcr houses should have cement
floors, and the doors and the windows
should be screened with Onc-inch mesh
wire fencing. If such precautions are
taken rats and weaselS usually do lit
tie damage, says the New York State
College OF Agriculture.
If skunkS. foxes and dogs bother the
chickens. Il fence around the field often
proves effective. The fencing should
be five or six feet high and should be
tackled at the bottom to boards that
are sunk in the ground three or four
inches. SllunkS can be trapped sue
c"&4fully during The open season,
When a cat forms the habit Of
catching little chickens usually the
only way to stop further loss is to kill
the cat. This may cause complications
when the animal is n pet or a neigh
bor's property, but it is the best rem
cdy.
Owls often kill many chickens that
roOSr in trees or exposed places. They
even enter the open windows of brood
cr houses and attack the chickens. TO
avoid this danger it is best for the
farmer to keep all the chickens in
doors at night and to- screen the win
