Austrian boundaries and completed
the task of defining them in a session
with the foreign minister. Such prog
ress was made that the members OF
the council believe that the Austrian
treaty may be completed within a few
days.
Paris.-The first exchange between
Count Won Brockdorff- -Rantzau and the
skirmish to the main battle, and as
disclosing the allied position as, in ef-
feet: Accept the treaty as 1t stands,
or reject it, one or the other, as there
is no middle ground" This was the
prevailing view in conference circles
generally after the four notes had
been analyzed. The head of the Ger
man delegation also was thought to
accept this construction, as reports
were that he was giving his chief at
tention to the formulation Of COM
plete treaty which he would present
as counter project in about five
days, instead of seeking to amend or
modify the terms of the allied treaty.
This counter treaty would be treated
the same as the German plans for
League Of Nations, neither Of which
will be considered, the only question
being the acceptance or rejection Of
the allied treaty.
The German project for League Of
Nations, which the reply to Count Won
Brockdorff- -Rantzau said had been re-
ferred to committee, has been hand
ed to the council of four. The plan
was drawn by Professor Schuecking
Of the German delegation, and is in the
form of a general thesis on the merits
Of a world parliament which seeks to
bring about the propOrtiOnate limita-
ton Of armaments of all nations alike,
on sea as well as on land, and an
equality Of economic conditions -
bringing about sort of economic
brotherhood.
"The project" a member of the COM
mittee said, "has only academic inter-
est, as the committee will not examine
or consider it, for it has no purpose
to let the Germans confuse the allied
project, which has unanimous sup
port"
Much comment has arisen over the
fact that Italy is not included in the
proposed engagement between the
United States. Great Britain and
France for mutual action against Ger
many should Germany again become
aggressive toward France
1t is said that Premier Orlando was
ready to bring Italy into the agree
ment and that he took part in some of
the early discussions, although the
plans were consummated about the
time of the high tension which re-
moved Premier Orlando from active
participation in the council of four.

Be Had Cheap.

A large area Of the land in several
counties in Ohio prepared for spring
seeding will be seeded with Marquis
wheat-a spring variety. This wheat is
imported from Western Canada. 1t was
about three years ago that the first OF
this seed was imported into the States.
and the result watched each succeed
fng year, proved that Ohio soil and
spring seeding was a success. The
demand for the seed has now become
30 great that one Of the largest seed
houses in the state, that has been pur-
chasing from Western Canada farmers
and importing 1t. has decided to pur-
chase a large block of land in that
country for the purpose Of growing the
grain themselves. They will devote
a considerable portion of their West
ern Canada holdings to growing oats.
barley and rye. Their action IS
strong Endorsement Of the product. For
some time past a considerable guam
tity of seed oats has also been Import
ed. The prolific yield reported was
what probably gave an impetus to the
Introduction Of wheat.
II WAS lOunu, tIlOukI, ultCA Noup'S
Of years the quality Of the oats. as
well as the yield, began to deteriorate
when grown seed was used. making 1t
necessary for fresh importations every
couple Of years. 1t Is possible that
the same experience may follow the
growing Of Western Canada wheat. In
fact It is quite probable, and the Ohio
farmer will find It necessary to import
every two years.
With the success that has followed
the Ohio farmers experiments with
this imported seed IT is possible other
states now growing winter wheat will
begin growing spring wheat. 1t may
therefore he taken for granted that
Western Canada, In addition to Its
ability to produce hundreds Of mill
lions Of bushels Of wheat possessing
the greatest percentage Of gluten Of
any wheat in the world. will shortly
be called upon to provide the seed
that will be grown on the additional
acres in the United States that may be
devoted to spring wheat.
1t is a well-established fact that the
further north any product Of the farm
can be brought to a state Of maturity,
the more vigorous It becomes. This
has been proven in the grains that
have been produced in Western Cam
ada; 1t has been shown in the devel-
opment Of its horses. its cattle, its
sheep and its hogs; also in its people.
The neighbor to the north really has
splendid future before him, and
many years will not have passed be-
fore the lands that are selling today
at much less than their producing
value will bring prices more commen-
surate with their true worth than they
do today. Think Of lands that yield in
their operation a profit Of from fifteen
to twenty-five dollars an acre year
selling at figures less than $40 an acre.
1t does not require mathematician
to figure the percentage Of profit. 1t
Is unfair to these lands to ask them
to continue these profits for long. So
1t is safe to make the prediction that
In very few years they will place
themselves on a parity with other
lands that today produce less and sell
for much more.-Advertisem
