nowadays be impossible; even the few

1t has always been the policy of the
Conservation Commission to welcome
tho public at the fire observation sta

Chateau Thierry, It can be justly said
Of each OF many factors that the war
could not have been won without this
or that particular contribution. In
that sense IL seems to me IL can truly
be said that without the contribution
of the Peronni Brothers and OF their
industrial organization of 100000 men
that they brought together in tho
Ansaldo works the great war could
not have been won. For Italy's
cause would have been lost and with
that loss might have come the down
fall OF the great cause. But now what
OF the future of this and other great
developed in Italy?
In many ways Italy struck me as
being richer in human material than
any other European country that
visited. These northern Italians seem
to have genius for Industrial oryanI-
zation. One of the great Industrial
plants OF the world Is the Fiat works
al Turin: and there are a goodly
number OF well planned, we'll equipped
industrial establishments in northern
Italy that have at hand an efficient,
skilled and more than ample labor
supply. But they must have coal. and
to get that must somehow, and at
once. have the power 10 pay either in
goods or In dollars or pounds sterling.
1t is not a matter Of the individual
credit OF these industries. II Is not
at all n question OF the domestic
wealth of these concerns. 1t Is a
question OF italian national position
with respect to the international ex-
changes.
Italy Must Have Coal.
Italy az a national unit must be
able TO sell to the world a sufficient
amount OF her own products 10 pay
for the coal, and the cotton. the wool,
| the petroleum products, the rubber
and the other raw materials which
she must have. If for the time being
she cannot do that and cannot make
up the balance from enltcrants' re-
mittances and tourists expenditures.
she must have credits or her indus
tries must In part close down. II all
amounts to the inevitable logic OF
two plus two. There Is no getting
away from the few fundamental fac
tors that are involved In international
trade,
To buy anything abroad Italy must
sell her own products or make loans

years prior TO the war. and in spite
of a deficient volume Of exports, Italy
was able fully to balance her inter-
national account without making for
eign loans, through the aid of these
two great sources Of annual income
the expenditure by tourists and the
remittance from her emigrants.
The war has wholly changed this
satisfactory position. During the war
Italy incurred foreign obligations
amounting to $500, 900, 900, the an
nual interest charge on which is say
sl55, 100000. This alone would have
thrown her international account Sc
verely out of balance and would have
been extremely serious. because she
has no way by which Il Is feasible
promptly to increase her exports. But
the mourning of the foreign obliga-
ton with It's annual interest require

difYiculties. The embargo on travel all

on Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
The opening session will be held

make an address at the afternoon
session on Friday.
The greatest care has been exer-
cised by the posts of the State,
which number $50 in selecting dele
gates for this convention. Represent
ing over 100000 service men OF

introduce resolutions from their

sILAGE TO STOCK
No Better or More Economical Feed
as Rouohage for Finished
Stock for Market

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of A~griculture.)
As a roughage for finished stock
there is no better or more economical
feed than silage for it produces large
daily gains and aids in keeping the
animals in a healthy condition SO that
they a handle other feeds more ef-
Ssctivdy. An advantage in feeding
shsge to beef cattle that is often over
looked, is that it enables the feeder
to carry his stock for a long time so
hs to pass owe a period of depression
In the market. y
Silage also can be profitably used to
supplement pastures for steers during
q time Of drought, when they ire be-
Ing finished for market.
For many years the belief was gen.
eral that cattle which received silage
as a major portion Of the roughage
would have to be kept in warm barns
and not exposed to the cold. While
they do need protection from the cold
winds and rains and need a dry place
to lie down, it has been clearly demon
strated that warm barns + not only
unnecessary, but that fattened cattle
make both larger and cheaper gains
when fed In the open sheds than when
confined in barns. Stocker or thin cat
tie receiving silage will, Of course,
need more protection than animals
which are being fatteaed.
The theory that silage-fed cattle
shrink very heavily in shipping to mar.
ket is erroneous. While the actual
shrinkage during transit Is sometimes
greater, the fill taken at market is
usually good, and if good judgment
is used in preparing them for shipping
the net %shrinkage is no greater than
for cattle which have been fed or dry

similarity Of the bills that have been

In every Northwestern state, with
the sole exception of North Dakota,
bills were introduced to go back to
the corrupt convention system Of NOM
mating candidates for office, thus kill
ing the direct primary, for which the
people carried on a battle for years.
In Idaho the bill repeating the direct
primary has been enacted into law
and signed by the governor. In Mime

and the governor stands ready to sign
