LEAGUE SEEKING NATION WILLING
 TO MEDIATE TURK ARMENIAN FIGHT
Assembly Favors Fighting Turk Leader If No Other Way Found to End Con- flict in Armenia.
TRepubIIcan A. p. Leased wIre1

GENEVA, Nov. 22-The assembly of the league of nations decided without a dissenting vote today to appeal to the powers in the hope of finding a gov ernment willing to undertake media ton between the Turkish nationalists under Mustapha Renal Pasha and the Armenians.
 An earnest debate preceded the vote on the resolution presented by M. Vii viani, forme~ premier of France, in- viting the council of the league to take the action indicated. It threatened at times. however, to justify the predic- tions of the leagues opponents that the work of assembly would founder on the rule requiring unanimous vote.
 Lord Robert Cecil, A. J. Balfour, Hvalmar Granting, pr. Fridtjof Nan sen, c. J. Dougherty (Canada), and M. Staliovich Ougo- -Slavia), participated but the real contest was between Vii viani and Mir. Balfour. MT. Balfour explained that the failure of the league council to find mandatory for Armenia. He referred to the refusal of the United States to accept such a mandate and hoped that the committee of the assembly might do better.
 The former French premier pleaded warmly for prompt action, provoking the first enthusiastic demonstration of the assembly. He declared that if the assembly was unable to do better than name another committee it would proclaim it's own impotence.
 It was remarked that Lord Robert Cecil applauded vigorously from the South African bench while the Eng fish delegates, MT. Balfour and H. A L. Fisher, remained stolidly indifferent It seemed evident that MT. Balfour was fighting against an eventual military expedition more than against mediation as proposed by M. Viviani. Although Dl. Nansen was the only one to speak boldly in favor of ar expeditionary force to deal with the Turkish nationalist leader, Mustaphs Renal Pasha, all the others, with the exception of Mir. Balfour, approached as closely as they could to this event uality without actually saying so.
 Favor Fighting Turks The general impression after the de bate was that the assembly favored fighting Renal Pasha if no other wa, was found, to end the conflict in Arme- mia. There was a moment of suprem, tension when the vote was reached, a! the attitude of Mir. Balfour seemed t indicate that he would prevent al unanimous vote.
 M. viviani, Gastoa De Cunha, LOT, Robert Cecil, NJ La Fontaine (Bel- gian), H. Brainting and Dr. Nansel conferred and decided to combine ol the proposition as advocated by tn French and South African delegates.
 To the great relief and surprise c the assembly, MT. Balfour was one c the first to rise and vote in favor c the resolution.
 The council of the league met thi evening but took no action relative the resolution.
 MT Balfour, upon leaving the assem- bly, room, was asked what action ha been taken. He shrugged his shoul ders and merely described the proceed ings as that curious meeting thi morning"
 Dr. Da Cunha of Brazil, in replyin to a question as to what action ha
 been taken, sad:
 unfortunately no action has bee
 taken"

pies. Instead of having nails driven
in it all around to slice the apples
I would have heavy teeth or spikes
or carving devices of some kind,
and instead Of having the roller lie
horizontally ! would have it stand
upright l would have it attached
ito driving power so that it would
whirl round and round and keep
slicing on the face of the bank ahead
of it, throwing the dirt back all the
time and piling it up behind it we'll
pulverized. That would throw the
top dirt on the top, the middle dirt
in the middle and the bottom dirt
in the bottom, when operated at the
proper speed. OF course it could not
be operated where there were rocks.
Louble Dimensions
When q man wants to advance a
new idea he generally has to en-
phasize matters to get attention. In
made the dimensions twice as big
talking about my new kind of plow
as / wanted them and would have
been very glad indeed to find some
body with pulverizer that would
pulverize the ground two feet or
three feet deep. / thought the men
engaged in beet culture ought to
be interested in this pillow that would
do the deep pulverizing but they are
not. have not found any one yet
who does not ridicule my ideas about
deep blowing. 1t is we'll estab-
lished fact that the roots of the sugar
beet, l mean the fine roots like cob
webs, fill the earth down to depth
of about six feet and for three or
four feet on each side Of every beet,
and where the beets are planted only
a few inches apart the earth for six
feet down is a mass of root-like
cobwebs. Since ! learned that,
have more reason to believe that my
six foot pillow is the thing the beet
growers need, and it will take some
thing more than ridicule to keep me
from believing in it. This thing of
blowing eight or ten inches deep for
a crop that sends roots down six feet
does not look to me like giving the
crop fair chance. Soil that has
lain idle for a thousand or several
thousand years 1:,hout ever being
stirred is not fit place for a seed
bed and root bed. This thing Of
scratching six or eight or ten inches
deep, planting seeds in it and leaving
the plant to drill its way down in
very hard earth to get the nourish-
ment out of which to build the crop
is to my mind giving the plant the
worst of 1t. To me it looks like vast
ing our efforts to plant seed in the
ground and then not give it chance
for it's greatest development.
Bigger, Better Beet Crop
Suppose we should prospect the
ground on our farms and find that
the soil was six feet deep. Suppose
that a man came along with ma
chine that would pulverize that
ground six feet deep, laying the bot
tom dirt in the bottom, the top dirt
on the top and the middle dirt in
the middle of the mass and leave it
all pulverized. Suppose that you
pulverize in this manner a belt across
your farm and planted that to sugar
beets and planted sugar beets on

Beets, Politics and Progress
By Byrd Trego
CHAPTER xxx.

Three and four years ago when
dry farming was making some prog
ress in the Snake river plains I took
a course of schooling by visiting
every dry farmer on the desert, as
nearly as ! could. In general way
I got each of them to tell me all
he could about dry farming and es-.
pecially about the methods that were
a little different from what most
peopie were doing them. I visited
nearly all the irrigated farms in the
county, working on the same plan.
BY the time had finished this
course of schooling am speaking Of,
I found there was one matter in
which l did not agree with hardly
anybody else and hardly any one else
agreed with me. The professors in
the department of agriculture don't
agree with me, the fellows in the
university extension courses don't
agree with me, the county agents
do not, and the plain every day prac-
tical farmers do not. That all goes

still am not convinced. When a
fellow is wrong and concludes to
stay wrong he must be hard nut
to crack but it is his privilege to
stay wrong if it doesn't hurt any
body else. That's me.
A Different Plow Needed
? Three years ago / began to tell
people that we need a different kind
of pillow from anything that has ever
been invented. told them I wanted
something that plowed very deep and
when I would say that to the aver
age man he would lift his eyebrows
and say that I probably meant some
thing that would pillow ten or eleven
inches deep. That was not what I
meant at all. If you talk to man
about blowing twenty inches deep or
two feet deep he discounts you and
says it isn't worth while and it can't
be done. In order to get hearing
on the question I set my figures
higher and told men wanted pillow
that would stir the ground in fur
row four feet wide and six feet deep,
leaving the bottom soil in the bot
tom, the top soil on the top and have
it all pulverized when it was laid
back in place back of the plow or
pulverizer.
A Revolution in Flowing
When I tell men that, they do
something more than merely lift
their eyebrows and look surprised,
but I get them clear away from the
thought Of blowing ten or eleven
inches deep. open up new field
of speculation for them. OF course,
they say it cannot be done. They
go further than that and call man
several kinds Of fool for thinking
about it. Sometimes man would
do me the honor to ask me what
kind of darn pillow would have them
build anyhow. Then I would wash
my hands of the whole matter by
telling them was not an inventor,
that never could build anything in
my life and seldom ever could put
a machine together after the other
fellow had built it. But my idea of
the pulverizing pillow that was talk
ing about was to build q cylinder

used in a cider mill for grinding sp-

it.
A Recent Discovery
Last winter / made a discovery
and it was a man in one of Oar
higher institutions of learning that
got me connected with it. l was
telling him about my deep pillow that
l wanted somebody to build and he
told me that there was already a
pillow built and being tested to do
just about the same thing only 1t
did not go SO deep as I desired. 1t
is called the Hamshaw rotary pillow
and is built by the rotary pillow COM
pany of 1880 Henry building, Seattle,
Wash. 1t differs from my pillow in
several respects. First, it works,
which, of course, my pillow would
not. 1t pulverizes twenty-four
inches deep but it mixes the dirt SO
that the top dirt, the bottom dirt
and the middle dirt are all thrown
out and thoroly mixed, but pulver-
lied fine. The pillow is built in three
sizes, cutting a width of six and a
half feet, ten feet and fifteen feet.
It will pillow in clean ground, stubble
ground, meadows full Of roots and
will go thru willow patches and
grind up everything. 1t has seeder
attachment and any kind of crop
can be seeded as the blowing is be-
ing done. When this outfit is used
no other tools are necessary. No
plows, harrows, disks, rollers, nor
anything of the kind. One trip across
the field completes the job and there
is not a wheel mark or a hoof mark
left on the ground after it is plowed
and seeded.
What a Chinaman Said
When the rotary pillow was being
tested near Walla Walla, Chinese
gardener, who was present, became
excited and said to the man operat-
ing the plow, you plowee my gar
den, me givee you $40 ee acre"
tried to get rotary pillow shipped
in here for demonstration last spring
but they could not spare one and
they were making some improve
ments in the pillow and did not care
to put any out for demonstration
until they had it perfected. I have
been trying for good while to get
cuts to print the pictures of the out
fit but Mr.. Hamshaw, the inventor,
is so busy I have not been able to
get the cuts yet. He is in New York
now on business connected with the
perfecting of the machine and per-
fecting arrangements for its whole
sale manufacture and distribution.
will put some small pictures Of it
in my office window by the time this
paper comes out and leave them in
the window for a few days for in
spection. Lam still looking forward
to the day when we can ship ma
chine in here for demonstration and
! want to pulverize strips across sew
eral of the best farms in the country
where conditions are different in the
different farms. 1t will be a fine
demonstration to note the difference
in the crops on those strips from
year to year If there is any differ
ence, and I think there will be.
