TRICKERY SEEN IN
RUSSIAN PROPOSAL
Red 0ifcr for Conference With Allies
Attempt to Gain Recognition, Be-
lief. United States Will Take No

iN'' tHitSu STATES W Ill lHhc NO
Action Now.
Washington, July 2G.--Russia's pro-
posal for conference with the Allies
in London was regarded unomcially
here today as a skillful mancuvcr to
effect a quasi recognition Of the So
Wet regime. Officially the state de-
partmcnt was without any knowledge
or the Soviet suggestion, but it was
clear that unless some moro urgent
reason than onw is apparent is given,
the United states will be in no haste
to accept an invitation to Join in such
a conference, even though one were
extended.
/ was assumed hcro that the Uni
ted states would be asked to partici-
pate, but the prevailing opinion ap-
pcarcd to be that the specific question
at iSSuc--thc cessation Of the war
with Poland--might better be consid-
cred first by the principals. The Uni
ted States, it was explained, has a
peculiar interest in the situation,
aside from that Of desiring stabliza-
ton Of political conditions throughout
Europe, but the method suggested by
Russia was regarded generally as a
contrivanco OF the Soviet authorities
to use the Polish situation to advance
the international status Of their re-
gimc.
President Wilson, it was said today,
has kept informed regarding the de-
|vclopmcnts not only as to the Russo
Polish situation but also as to the Sit
uation in its broader aspect. The po-
sition the President will take was not
even Spcculatcd upon by other ofic-
ias of the government but it has been
indicated that, unless he otherwise di-
rectcd, the attitude Of the United
States would be that OF an interested
observer and that for the present. no
expression Of moral support" or more
active aid would be extended TO the
Poles.

Roland. France and England May

Washington, July 22.-Without Of
ilcial information regarding the dcci-
sion OF the Allied powers to furnish
military aid to Poland in her struggle
with the Bolshcviki, government oflic-
ials rcfrancd today from formal ex-
preston of opinion, but unohicially
profcsscd to sec in the new situation
most of the elements of European
war on broad scale.
Army officers and officials at the
state department generally were
frankly pcssimistic as to the ability
of France and Great Britain to place
armies in Poland in time TO check the
Russian advance before Warsaw falls,
and many Of them were skeptical Of
the power Of either France or Great
Britain to drive their war weary popu-
lations into the struggle without a Sc
rious unbalancing Of domestic affairs.
Although technically, the President
still is endowed with the specially
conferred war powers, there was no
disposition in official circles TO assume
that he would involve the United
States in a war between the Bolshe-
wiki and the Allies, unless action
might be justified by some overt act
against the army Of occupation on
the Rhine. Reports to the state de-
partment indicate increasing tension
between the conservative and pro-rad-
ical groups in Germany and it was
generally believed that unless the rad
ical element gained the asccndancy
the chances Of the United States be-
coming involved in the new situation
were slight, although a suggestion Of
American cooperation from France and
Great Britain was regarded as prob,

Two-Mule Outfits
Show Better Results
Than One-Mule System

Cultivation cost is largely reduced
by using adequate power harneSSed
to modern cu1tivating machinery.
Figures compiled by the United
States department of agriculture IN
farm management studies conducted
upon southern farms show that the
two-mule team hitched to a two
mule implement saves time and mon
ey over the usual one-mule outfit. In
Texas, where the farms are COM
paratively large, the two or four
mule hitch is generally used, but the
farmers in the southeastern states
are inclined to depend upon the sim
gle rig to do their blowing, planting
and cultivating, even where their
acreage is large. In preparing the
land for cultivating crops the south
eastern farmer with his one mule
makes five trips across his field to
the Texas farmers one. The Texas
man cultivateS both sides of the row
and the middle at q single trip, but
a/one-mule hitch must make two or
three trips to accomplish as much
| Moreover, the single-mule farmer
uses twice as much man labor as
does the chap who drives a team
In some cases the one-mule farmers
get around this difficulty by. eX-
changing mule labor and working
tWo-mule teams.
An ALABAMA farm study furnishes
dollars-and-cents accounting of the
two methods. when the rows were
laid out with the contour Of the land
and cultivated only one way, the
cost of cultivation was $1.3S an acre
and the hoeing cost 70 cents an acre.
When the corn was check-rowed and
cultivated both ways, the cost of cul-
tivation was reduced to $1.10 an
acre and the hoeing cost was only 81
cents an acre" Such treatment is
only possible with adequate machin-

BALE TO AN ACRE
DESPITE WEEVIL
AT BAILEY. CA

BAILEY, Ga, Sept. 2S.-That cot
ton can be grown under boil weevil
conditions and unfavorable weather
conditions, to yield bale to the acre,
is being shown on the county dem
onstration farm near BaXley.
Fourteen acres of cotton on the
demonstration farm will yield thir-
teen bales of cotton. This result
was obtained by the use of calcium
arsenate. One block Or acre was
grown without the, use of the poison
to show the difference between
blocks poisoned and those where cal
cium arsenate were not used. Be
tween the blocks poisoned and those
where no poison was used, there was
difference in yield from 200 to 800
pounds per acre, after the top crop"
This difference will be even greater
after the second and third pickings.
time averaged 1,418 pounds per acre.
-Four applications of the calcium
arsenate were made on the crop. The
cost of material and applying is only
lew dollars per acre. For the
busting experiments Louis So was
used.
While the purpose of the work on
this farm this year Is not for making
variety tests or fertilizer tests, but
to show the farmers how to combat
the weeVil, and to overcome unfavor-
able weather conditions, fourteen va
riety tests have been made. These
varieties are the best adapted for
southern Georgia soil and climate.
Fertilizer tests have been made,
which will further aid the Appling
county farmer in producing cotton,
if he will take advantage of the OPP
portunity to learn at the demonstra-
ton farm.
Mr.. Gaddis, demonstration farmer,
declares that the seasons have been
more unfavorable to the production
of cotton than ever before in his long
experience, but that the yields are
greater.
The farmers Of this and the sur
rounding %Gunties are urged to visit
the demonstration farm before the
| last picking, in order that they may
| observe the splendid results obtained
| by the use of calcium arsenate.
! Seeds will be distributed among the
| farmers OF the county, the farm re-
serving the right to place them in
the hands of those farmers who will
give the closest attention to grow
ing cotton under boil weevil condl-
| lions.

A lair of the. Military Order of the Serpent will be organized in Norwich at a meeting to be held Saturday ev- ening in the state arnory, Mckinley avenue, by members and honorary members of Griswold Camp, No. G., Spanish War Veterans. The Military Order of the Serpent is founded on the Khatee Punan Society of native Fflipinos. This was a. secret society organized to do away with Ameri- cans. The story of the activities of this organization was brought back to the states by soldiers who had serv- ed in the Philippine Islands and it was later decided to organize the Military Order of the Serpent, which has of course much different princi- pies and aims than the Khatee Pu- nan.
 The Military Order of the Serpent is conducted in the nature of an auxiliary to the Spanish War Veter- ans and membership is limited to members and honorary members. The officers of lair are as follows:
 Gu Gu Grandississimo; Dato: Thrice Infamous Inferior Gu Gu: Lord High Keeper of the Sacred Am phora; four slick and slimy keepers of the ophidian.
 Twenty six names are attached to petition for a charter fer the new organization. Those wno have sign ed the petition are as follows:
