REPEATS OPPOSITION
Wilson Restates His Objection to
Peace Treaty Reservations.

Washington President Wilson has
re.stated for Democratic senators his
opposition to any Peace treaty reser-
vations which would weaken the full
force of Article 10, or otherwise ma
terially impair the provisions Of the
League covenant.
Without saying specifically what
qualification he would or would not
accept, he wrote, in a letter to Sena-
tor Hitchcock, that almost all of the
reservations, he had heard suggested
were lin effect virtual notifications"
of the treaty articles to which they
applied.
II hear Of reservationists and mild
reservationists," the letter added, "but
cannot understand the difference be.
tween a nullifier and mild multi.
fer"
Discussing Article 10 particularly,
the President wrote that there was
mo escaping the moral obligations
which are expressed in positive
TERMS" though there would be no OBJ.
lection to explaining in an interpreta.
ton the constitutional methods by
which such an obligation would have
to be fulfilled. The very heart" Of
the covenant, he reiterated, would be
1mperilled by weakening Article 10.
Regarding this article the president
says.
ANY reservation which seeks to de.
prive the League Of Nations Of the
force OF Article 10 cuts at the very
heart and life Of the covenant itself.
Any League Of Nations which does
not guarantee as matter of incon.

dence and integrity Of each Of its
members might be hardly more than
futile scrap of paper, as ineffective
in operation as the agreement between
Belgium and Germany which the Ger.
mans violated in 1914. Article 10 as
written into the treaty of Versailles,
represents the remuneration by Great
Britain and Japan, which before the
war had begun to find so many inter.

France, by Italy-by all the great

old pretensions of political conquest
and territorial ACKNOWLEDGMENT. It is
q new doctrine in the worlds affairs
and must be recognized or there is no
secure basis for the peace which the
whole world so longingly desires and
SO desperately needs. If Article 10 is
not adopted and acted upon, the gov.
ernments which reject it will, think,
be guilty of bad faith to their people
who they induced to make the infinite
sacrifices of the war by the pledge
that they would be- fighting to redeem
the world from the old orders Of force
and aggression. They will be acting
also in bad faith to the opinion Of the
world at large to which they appealed
for support in concerted stand
against the aggressions and preten.

Get Winter Wheat In
Ground About Sept. LIST

Brookings, S. D., Aug. 23.--Get the
winter wheat in the ground as near
September | as possible, is the sug-
gestion offered to South Dakota farm
ers by Manley Champlin, extension
~agronomist at State college. Time of
seeding experiments indicate in gen.
eral that September is the best month
for seeding, though fair yields have
been secured from October seedlings.
The late seedlings often fail to germin-
ate in the fall and lie in the ground
dormant, awaiting spring.
Tests at B%rookings indicate that five
recks is the best average rate of seed
ing, though very good results have
been obtained with one bushel.
In general cornstalk ground is best.
The wheat can be sown between the
corr rows with a one horse five-row
drill with disc furrow openers, or if
this is inconvenient it can be sown
in the corn stubble after the silage
or fodder is removed. In the latter
case the seeding can be done with an
ordinary grain drill. When the tod
der or silage is cut the binder should
Ec set to leave a high stubble. The
more protection given the wheat the
better are the chances of success.
Winter wheat can be sown in grain
or millet stubble which gives it fair
protection but the yields obtained are
not as large as on corn ground in
most seasons, due to the lack of prev
ious cultivation and the resulting con
served moisture and freedom from
weeds.
Fall plowingis usually too dry and
too bare for good results and sum
mer-fOllowing is not generally sue
Cessful under local conditions, due to
lack of protection for the wheat
Llants, though in limited areas as at
Newall, for example ummer-fallow
has proved a satisfactory preparation.
