Many Prisoners Taken

WARSAW, April % (By The Asso-
ciated Press) A general advance by
Polish forces along 180-mile front
into the Ukraine was announced in to-
days communique by the Polish gen
cral staff. The movement, it is set
forth, is for the expulsion of the
"foreign invaders" (Russian Bolshe-
viki).
The Poles covered about fifty miles
on the first day of their forward move
ment, their advance line taking them
within sixty miles of Kiev.
The advance was explained in a
proclamation issued in the name of
General Pilsudski, head Of the Polish
state, and posted in the cities and
villages through which the Polish
forces marched. The document an
nounced that after the expulsion of
the foreign elements the Poles would
remain in the Ukraine only until an
authorized Ukrainian government
should take control. The proclama-
ton, dated April 26, was printed in
Warsaw and then rushed to the front
Thousands of copies were taken by the
Poles for distribution within the new
ly occupied territory. One section of
the proclamation reads:

Germany to Report on
Her Financial Condition

BERLIN, April 28.-Germany's eco
nomic situation, in its bearing on fur
ther payments the country will be able
to make toward reparation and ndem-
niication will be set forth in detail
in memorial being drafted by the
Ministries of Finance and Economics
for presentation to the Allies May 10.
1t will be a candid presentation Of
the conditions now obtaining and pros
poets of their improvement in the near
future, and will show Germany's ability
to meet the balance of her obligations,
on which she has already paid 10000
100000 marks in coin and commodities.
Official quarters have declined to say
whether the memorial will indicate
any specific sum, but limited it would
make detailed, definite proposal. In
formation received permits the con-
clusion the total sum of 100000, ,OOO, 900
marks, the amount originally proposed
as reparation, is not considered by the
Berlin government as being within
Germany's physical capacity to pay.
THAT figure was suggested under
other circumstances" said an official
to-day, "but now we are deprived of
our merchant fleet and colonies. our
economic productiveness is seriously
curtailed and our ability to meet heavy
reparation and Naturalization paw

WASHINGTON, April 28.-The naval

any extension of that program.
provision for retention in active
service of 10000 naval reserves and
1900 reserve officers was adopted by
the Senate to maintain the present
fleet Because Of disappointing enlist
ments and desertions-the latter said
last year-the temporary forces, the
Senate was told, are imperative for
efficient operation of the ships.
Another amendment added by the
Senate provides for developing the
naval oil reserves, through lease, sale
or government operation. Senator
King, Democrat, of Utah. introduced a
separate resolution authorizing Secre-
tary Daniels to investigate the oil
situation with a view to further gov
ernment acquisitions, which will be
taken up later.
An amendment by Senator King to
authorize sale of twenty-five torpedo
boat destroyers went out on a point Of
order by Senator Lodge, Republican
leader. Mr.. King insisted there were
many unnecessary destroyers and that
England is selling vessels of that type.

seed after being cleaned and graded.
It is decidedly preferable to buy new
seed IL the latter is at all likely to
prove poorly adapted to local condi-
tons. In cleaning and grading the
oats one-third to one-half Of the total
bulk should be removed. leaving only
the heaviest and plumpest kernels for
sowing. Usually it will be advisable
to treat the seed for smut. This may
be omitted, however. If last years crop
was practically free from it and If the
separator with which it was thrashed
was also free from smut spores. The
formaldehyde treatment is well known
and 1t is only necessary to remind the
farmer that If the seed is treated dur
Ing cold weather it should not be al
lowed to freeze while 1t Is wet. AS
the cost OF the formaldehyde treatment
is so small, many prefer to take no
chances and so treat the seed every
year. If 1t Is sown before 1t Is dry,
one must make allowance for its SWELL
ing in setting the drill, otherwise h
stand will not be sufficiently dense.
Experts recommend that between z
and 3 bushels of seed be used to the
acre. A larger allotment than this
will not often result in material in
! crease. In some cases on land free
from weeds as little as III bushels per
acre has produced satisfactory results.
| The yield Of straw is usually cOarser
and greater from thin than from heay-
Ter seeding. and the danger from lodg-
ing Is increased.
The varieties recommended for SOW
ing in the corn belt include oats OF
the Sixty-Day or Kherson type, espec-
tally some of the pure-line selections,
such as have been put out by various
experiment stations. These include
the Iowar and Albion (Iowa No. 1O3)
from the Iowa station, and Nebraska
No. q, from Nebraska. There is moth
ing better than the Silvermine for
those who prefer a larger kernel,
which natures later. This applies
particularly to northern Illinois. north
ern Iowa, Wisconsin and Minnesota.
Here also the Sixty-Day type is de-
cidedly popular because Of It's large
yields. In the cooler sections larger

| grain, and two of timothy and clover.
Where this practice prevails it is
logical that oats be used as the transit
ton crop from corn to the grasses.
If oats is to be made the important
crop which experts contend 1t should
be, the question naturally arises as to
how the best returns can be secured.
Ordinarily the most profitable way is
to sow oats on disked corn land. II
the land was well plowed last year and
IS fairly free from weeds 1t is un-
necessary to pillow 1t again for oats.
If corn stalks are still standing in the
ield selected, they should be broken
down and then cut into short lengths
with a disk harrow so that they will
not interfere with the drill or with
harvesting machinery.
Sowing should be done as soon as
the land can be gotten into proper con-
iition In the spring. Delay may seri-
ously reduce the harvest returns. The
practice of seeding broadcast IS much
less satisfactory than sowing with a
drill, since by the former method I'M

kernels are buried too deep.
