COMMUNISTS
GROW STRONCER
In Hungary-Denounced As Aiming
To Enslave Our Noble Ger
man Brothers,"

Vienna, May 16.-Reports from
Budapest say that the position of the
Hungarian Communist Government
appears to have grown stronger in
the last few days.
Halt of the Rumanian advance has
encouraged Communists who believe
the Rumanians undertook more than
they were able to accomplish if their
intention was to reach Budapest. (Of-
fetal announcement has been made
that Allied troops moving on Buda-
pest were ordered last week to halt
their advance last week by the Peace
Conference.) The Rumanians, how
ever, have effected a junction with
the Czecho-Slovaks and have cut off
communication between Budapest
and Russia by way or Ukraine.
Peace negotiations in Paris are be-
ing watched by the Communist Gov
arnment. The Volks Timme and
other newspapers in Budapest de-
nounce the peace treaty as "sapital-
istic," aiming at enslavement of "our
noble German brothers."
Because there are no cloth factor
les in operation the Hungarian gov
eminent has ordered further requisi-
tions of cloth, cotton, linen goods
and the bed and personal clothing
of the men and women of the bourg-
eoisie for use in making white I'M
derwear for the Red Guard Army.
Women of the bourgeoisie are being
forced to make over their own linger-
lie into shirts and other garments.
The Communist Government APP
parently is working against time in
the hope that the peasants of Ru-
mania will revolt and erect a Com
munist government Religious
schools in Hungary have been secu-
larized and theological seminaries
are closed. Representation by the
Allies have saved the converts.
The Communist Government has
made an announcement that it is
proud of the fact that there is Meth
er drunkenness nor begging in Hun
gary.

A Moscow dispatch says that the
Bolshevik leaders, in order to shake
the faith of the masses, have. caused
the elimination of the bones of St.
Tikhon and Saint Mitrofan.
There is said to be a growing move
ment among the religious element in
Russia to bring about a protest of all
churches Of the world against the
Bolshevik violations of religion. The
Metropolitan of Odessa may go
aboard soon on behalf of the project.

BUILDING SWEET
POTATO STORAGE HOUSES

This will be big year in sweet-po-
tato storage-house construction in the
South. according to a specialist of the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture, who recently made an inspection
of storage-houses in Louisiana erected
in the fall of 1918. The success of
these houses is remarkable. he reports,
when the adverse conditions under
which the crop was harvested are con-
sidered. Records kept by several
growers show loss from rot as low as
| per cent. Plans have already been
made for erection this season in Louis
lana of eight storage houses with an
average capacity of 10000 bushels.
A Georgia company is operating stor-
age-houses with an aggregate capacity
of more than l25.000 bushels. These
houses, which have been in successful
operation for many years, were erected
according to plans furnished by the
Bureau of Markets.

ASSESSOR UPHELD IN DECISION

Assessor ]. H. Word was taken at
his word this week when the court de-
cided in his favor in the case of Gould
vs.. Word. 1t seems that the Gould
holdings sent in their assessment at
about $4,OOO,0O0, and Assessor Word
raised it more than half again. The
company paid its taxes on the $4,000
600, but refused to pay the remainder;
holding that the assessor had not the
right to raise the assessment. Judge
Boone rendered the decision in favor
Of Word. The attorneys who repre-
sented Mr.. Word were W. M. Lyles
and Fern NJ, Wood. The attorneys for
the plaintiff were Bernstein and ShouI-
ders of monroe. and Foster and Woos-
ley Of LeesyilIe.
This session of the civil court closed
this week.
Several cattle dipping cases came up
but nothing was done with any Of
them. In one case a decision was rem
dered, but judgement was withheld.

Ithaca. N, Y. Journal Of May 10Th:
Miss Annie LaBarre. head, of the
English Department of the Ithaca High
School died yesterday afternoon at the
Carman Hospital. Her health has been
impaired since last August when she
underwent a serious operation. Re
Gently another operation was deemed
advisable, and for several weeks her
condition has been critical.
Born in Ludlowville, Feb. 20, 1859.
Miss LeBarre was a graduate of the
. Cortland Normal School and has taken
special work in Cornell University.
Her experience as a teacher covered a
period of u years of which p years
had been spent in the Ithaca Public
Schools.
In addition to her regular duties,
she had edited an English syllabus
which had been published several
times in revised editions and had served
as a member Of several state education
committees.

ADDITIONAL SILO TO
BE BUILT AT us. FARM

In order to make the best use Of the
abundant feed that would otherwise go
to waste, new silo. is to be built at
the colony this year as a part of the
United States Demonstration Farm
equipment, according to Mr.. w. A.
Dougherty. The slaves for the silo are
now being made at the colony planning
mill and it will be put up during the
summer some time.
The large tank which was formerly
used as the STABLES water supply was
taken down last fall and converted in
10 silo. 1t was filled with sugar cane
tops and sweet potato vines, with some
other vegetation, and was fed to hogs,
cattle, and mules.
With the coming of the pure bred
Holstein calves being sent by the agri-
cultural department to the U. S. Farm,
a greater supply Of ensilage will be
needed. Last years use of sweet po-
tato vines and sugar cane showed the
value Of this feed when properly con-
served. The use of silos is quite ex-
tensive in the North. They are highly
recommended by the government.
Stock soon becomes accustomed TO the
taste Of ensilage. They become fond
of it. The food value is high. It is
particularly good for milk COWS.

what canning clubs in various parts of

Beginning with June first the Stables
Library will close at seven o'clock ex-
cept on rainy nights when it will re-
main open until eight-thirty as usual.
The evenings are nice now and much
shorter than in the winter, which re-
suits in the reading Of fewer books and
consequent smaller patronage. IF il
will be convenient for people to come
early the Librarian will consider it a
great favor.

these youngsters like to eat often.

form apple-grade law. Apple dealers,
county agricultural agents, and state
college horticulturists were also con-
suited on the question. Ninety per
cent of the growers and dealers who
were visited were in favor of apple
grading laws, and county agents and
college horticulturists were unanimous
in their favor.
Benefits of Standardization.
Without established grades, the spe-
cialists say, there is no recognized ba-
sis for buying and selling; there is no
common language by which the grower,
shipper, transportation company, deal
er and consumer may clearly under
stand each other; and there is no
standard quality by which values and
prices may be fixed. Such basis can
not be established through individual
producers and associations represent
ing hundreds Of thousands of farms in
widely separated districts, shipping
their products to the same markets.
Confidence is the foundation of trade,
and without grade standardization con-
f1dence in the fruit and produce mar
ket cannot be established and main
tanned, For the want Of confidence
fruits and vegetables are largely sold
subject to inspection, or consigned to
commission houses to be sold on their
merits as revealed when the packages
are opened A misunderstanding or
difference Of opinion as to what the
grade or quality should be results in
many reflections, which necessitates re-
sales and consequent delays and high
er prices in placing the product in the
hands of the consumer.
Standardized grades furnish a basis
for market quotations and tend to sta
bilize the price of the commodity. Ex-
cept as based on recognized standard
grades, market quotations cannot be
comprehensive and reliable, and the
national market news service cannot
be developed to it's highest efficiency.
The value of such market reports de-
pends to a large extent upon the ac-
curacy with which the product may be
described through the use of fixed
grade terms.
There is an educational value in en-
forcing standardized grades. By being
forced to comply with definite stand
ards the producer will improve his
methods in both growing and handling
his crop, and he will be compensated
for his efforts by increased returns,
due to the reduction in waste and mar
keting expenses.

tatOes spent their winters in crude
and primitive dirt banks in the open
field, and under such storage condi-
tions many of them decayed; but now
they are stored in specially designed
and constructed storage houses in
which it is possible to regulate the
temperature and ventilation in such
way that this formerly unstable and
perishable product can be marketed
with practically no loss at any season
of the year.

PREPARE DUCKS FOR MARKET
Fowls Should Be Fattened for Two
Weeks Before KilIing-Green
Feed CoIors Flesh.

Ducklings to be marketed should be
fattened for two weeks before killing
on a ration made of three parts, by
weight, of cornmeal, two parts of mid
dlings, one part of bran, one-half part
Of beef scrap, with 3 per cent grit
and 10 per cent green feed added to
this mash, or a mash of three parts
cornmeal, one part lowgrade wheat
flour, one part bran, one-quarter part
beef scrap with the green feed and
grit, and per cent oyster shell added.
Feed this mash three times daily,
giving all the ducklings will clean up
in a half hour. The green feed is
sometimes left out Of the ration dur
ing the last seven days Of fattening,
as it tends to color the meat and may
produce slightly flabby, rather than
firm. flesh. However, it is easier to
keep the ducklings In good feeding
condition on a mash containing green
