sey interests in the county.
SHORT HORN BREEDERS MEET
ING.
On June 21st the Sh0rth0rn breed
ers of the county held a meeting at
the county seat. There was not the
usual large attendance, however those
present talked over the plans for fu-
ture work. The Committee on Sales
was instructed to take an inventory
of the possible consignment Of live
stock that would be offered at the
general sale this fall, and if enough
A No. l. stock is not available the
sale will not be scheduled. An effort
will be made to secure cOnsignments
outside of the county if necessary.
The pure bred heifer club will be
organized sometime in the near future
by the Shorthorn Association. 1t Is
hoped that goodly number OF peo-
pie in the county will take part in
this effort to introt|.ce more pure
bred livestock into the County.
TREE SPECIALIST COMING.
The Farm Bureau has secured the
services of specialist to prune orch
ards in the county for the next thirty
days. The conditions under which this
specialist may be secured are that he
be transported to the farm and pro-
vided with board and lodging while
there. He Is to receive 40c an hour
for his services. This will average
the cost to about 15c to Acc tree.
Large trees that have been neglected
for long time will need considerable
work to be put in the proper shape.
Summer pruning is being recognized
the country over as the most desirable
time in that it eliminates water
sprouts; will encourage fruitfulness
and lessons excessive growth. Those
interested in securing the services OF
this specialist should notify the Coun-
ty Agent at once in order that rout-
ings may be made In due time.
HOGGING DOWN RYE.
The lack of labor may entice some
farmers to hog down rye crops this
season. From our experience we have
not found rye a very desirable crop
to hog down but it makes an excellent
fall and spring pasture and has sery-
ed it's purpose as a forage crop. but
should be permitted to ripen and be
cut for grain il good stand is Sc
cured.
!, We quote the following experiments
to verify our statements. The Ohio
Station experimental three different
varied in weight from 81 to 1856 pounds
for the different years. They averaged
4bout fifteen head an acre and pas
tured thirty days. Each received on
an average of one fourth pound of tank
age per day. The average daily gain
on the rye was .46 pound, not quite
one-half a pound day. 1t required
on an average of FIVE hundred and for
ty pounds of rye to produce one hun
dred pounds of pork in addition to the
one-fourth pound OF tankage daily.
Another group Of hogs run on Glow
er pasture, fed ear corn and received
the same amount Of tankage as the

GERMAN WOMEN
FORCE OUR ARMY
TO SUPPLY SOAP

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES of The
Associated Press)--The German wash
erw0men of Coblenz have wen vic
tory in their first skirmish with Off
GERS of the American Army of Occu-
patton Lack of soap caused the com
plications.
In Germany soap is in greater de-
mand than chocolate OF tobacco The
poorer classes virtually have been
without it for years, managing to get
along some how by the use of inferior
mineral substitutes. Many of the
washerwomen of pre-war days had
gone out of business-tilT the Ameri-
cans came.
When the travel soiIed Americans
arrived in CobIenz by the thousands,
naturally there was grand rush to
send out bundles of washing. The
women were perfectly willing to do
the work, but they demanded cake
of soap with each consignment of
clothing. The Americans scoffed at
the suggestion.
The laundries had all they could
do to attend to their old customers
and limited number of new ones,
and bundle after bundle sent out by
generals and colonies and privates,
too, were returned in a hurry. And
back again to the washerwomen went
the bundles, and the women returned
them to the officers with the simple
explanation mo soap" All the plead
ings of the German speaking orderlies
had absolutely no effect.
Even the terms of the armistice
were considered, but there was 10 ref
erence to the shortage of soap, and so
the situation became worse day after
day. Just when it appeared that the
Army of Occupation would be COM
PEELED to go into the laundry business,
a United States sales commissary OPP
ened in Coblenz and an officer discov-
cred plenty of soap for few cents a
cake
Then the bundles began going to the
washerwomen again in great numbers
and wrapped in the center Of each was
a nice little white piece of soap. And
when the bundles came back, all the
clothing was clean and the washerwo-
men of Coblenz are now doing the
greatest business in their history
