A SYSTEMATIC HOG ROTATION

There is nothing that gives tho
farmer more clear profit than hogs, If
they are cared for in the right way
The rotation plots not only furnish
feed for the hogs at small cost, but
the land on which these crops grow is
made better each day, and soon we
find that the crop yield Is more than
doubled. This, Of course, is due to the
fact that all the crops grown on the
land is returned to the soil in the shape
of manure, and If the crops are sys
tematically arranged, legumes have
been planted that filled the soil with
nitrogen, the most expensive fertil-
izer that we have to buy.
During the past few months we have
sold comparatively three light cars Of
hogs that netted the farmers more
than 100000. Had the cars been full
the return would have been at least
|S600O.O0. The cooperative plan gives
the man with one hog the same ad
vantage as the fellow with so head.
1t is now time to plan definitely 70
the spring crops. Each farmer shOul'
plan his on crops, but few genera
points will apply to all. Oats, Rye
and Rape will always do we'll as graz
ing crops Rape will furnish as mucl
grazing as any thing that could b

Rape will furnish excellent grazing Ill

Announcement by the state depart
ment of the United States of the lift
ing Of trade restrictions with Russia
came Unexpectedly. Since Secretary of
State Colby had stated just before his
departure for San Francisco that no
action was of immediate prospect, it
is regarded as a recently adopted pol
icy. The announcement expressly
states that no recognition of the soviet
government is implied and that fndi-
viduals and corporations trading with
Russia must do so at their own risk
and are not to expect assistance or
protection from consular authorities;
also that the post office department
Va NC AdO W Q(NCPL h0AA W SOfiCl
Russia and that goods cannot be for
warded by parcel post. Materials for
war purposes continue under the ban
and the state department will continue
to refuse passports for Russia. The
announcement means in effect that
persons or corporations desiring to
trade with Russia may do so by deal
ing with soviet agents in the United
States or in other countries. The state
department warns American citizens
against the risks incident to the &C
ceptance of commodities or other
values which may later be brought In
to question. 1t is explained hat the
United States does not recognize the
validity of Industrial or commercial
concessions granted by an existing
Russian authority.
AS a winding up Of one of the prob
lens growing out Of the war, owe
$150,O00,000 of property seized as n
envy owned during the conflict, is now
ready to be returned under qualifica-
tons provided for in the amendment
to the trading with the enemy act,
passed during the closing days of the
last congress. Among those who may
obtain the release of their property
are American women who married
alien enemies. enemy diplomats,
aliens who were interned, citizens Of
new nations created from enemy terri
tory by the treaty of peace, m Of
allied or neutral countries who mar
ried enemy subjects. and Americans
who were forced TO remain in Ger
many during the war. Property mis-
takenly seized viii also be returned
and American creditors r permitted
to bring claims against enemy debtors
whose property was seized.
Reports of banditry, but on a
somewhat reduced scale, continue to
filter in from Mexico. On the other
hand come reports that Francisco villa
has entered into an armistice with the
new government. and agreed to cease
attacks On trains, garrisons and towns.
This is in direct con~travention of a
manifesto issued a short time ago by
ten of Villas generals, including his
chief Of staff, and a number of civil
ians, that war IN the new regime
would be continued. The burden of
the manifesto was that the Obregon
and De La Huerta government is the
product of a military coup and, at
tempting to establish itself with the
same passions, j~ealousies, ambitions
and mistakes as of old. will be impo-

Republican leaders meeting in Chi
cage the day after the Democratic ma
tional convention, decided to make the
Illinois city the principal headquarters
of the party and to wage the campaign
largely west of the Alleghenies. The
nomination of Cox came as a surprise
to the leaders as they had planned a
campaign against McAdoo. They an
nounced, however, that the issues
would not be materially affected, the
chief fight being conferred on the
League of Nations, with Democratic
conduct of the war and reconstruction
a secondary issue. 1t was also decided
to frown upon any attempt to intro
duce the wet and dry question into the
national campaign or to make the per-
sonality of the candidates a prominent
factor. independence of action, but a
