Geneva.--World disarmament must
be a slow ano gradual process, the
league of nations assembly commits
sion, which has been celebrating on
the question more than three weeks,
decided on December IL. Opinions
Of leading members are that neither
the political situation nor public opin-
ion is yet ready for full realization OF
that object.
In fact, even beginning reduction of
ornaments Is not considered possible
by the commission at present.
Accordingly, the program to be pre-
sented to the assembly Is to proceed
In three stages. The first involves an
agreement between the powers to make
no further increase In armament. The
second viii provide a gradual reduc-
ton on basis to be laid down by the
armament commission. The third will
provide for general and complete dis
armament when 1t may be found that
the situation permits it.
viscOunt Ishii has improved the oc-
casiOn to give notice that japan cam
not reduce her armament while the
United States increases hers. One con-
spicuous fact is the necessity Of prop
uganda to prepare the world for a
radical solution Of the question.

The growing Of sorghum for forage
In this country has increased until the
1918 crop amounted to more than
100000 acres. according to Farmers
Bulletin 116S. Just issued BY the Unit
ed States Department Of Agriculture.
Most Of this acreage was located in
the southeastern states and In the
southern half of the great plains.
Useful Hay Crop.
Sorghum Is most useful as q hay
crop in the southern states because Of
Its certainty Of producing crop and
on account Of the failure Of ordinary
hay crops. such as timothy and alfalfa,
In that section. Both the sweet sor-
ghums and the grain sorghums are ex-
cellent silage crops. The department
advises that stockmen in the great
plains area can avoid the loss OF thou
sands Of cattle by feeding sorghum
silage which has been stored at small
expense in pit silos.
The principal varieties of the sweet
sorghum, considered from a forage
standpoint, are the Minnesota Amber,
Red Amber, Orange. Sumac, Honey
and Gooseneck. The grain sorghums
most valuable for forage are the Black
hull, Red, Pink and Dwarf kafira.
One Serious Disadvantage.
The most serious disadvantage in
the use Of sorghums as a pasture or
soiling crop Is the danger Of prussic-
acid poisoning. Almost every farmer
