Geneva.-The difficulty of any sin
gle power or influence dominating the
league of nations was demonstrated
when the council of that body in spite
of determined protests by the British
members, decided finally to give con-
troll in the permanent mandates com
mission to non-mandatory powers.
The commission will be composed of
representatives of five non-mandatory
powers and four OF the mandatory
states.
The first American treaties to be
filed with the league Of nations we're
put officially on record when Sweden
presented the text of two agreements
with the United States.
Under the covenant of the league Of

file all treaties and agreements made
since January 10 OF the present year,
even those in which the other contract
ing party is not member of the
league.
The arrival of the first American
treaties, -lthough they are minor
ones, was an occasion of considerable
interest among the league members
and officials.
A total OF 81 treaties and agreements
have been filed with the league. OF
these, 10 were filed by Great Britain,
II by France four by Sweden, six by
Switzerland and Is by other nations
which filed one each Germany, al
though not a member has voluntarily
filed nine treaties.

TO VISIT FARM IN NORTHWEST
 ARKANSAS

Practical instruction coupled with visits to farms that show what far mer may do by correct and judicicus methods of farming will be given the farmers who attend the Farmers Short Course at Fayetteville, August TYPO. Dean Badford Knapp of the College of Agriculture believes that one actual example of what farmer has been able to do is worth whole series of lectures on what he ought to do.
 Arrangements have been made with the Rotary Club of Rogers for trip of inspection to farms of Benton coun- ty for all farmers attending the Short course. A special train will leave Fayetteville that evening. The Rog- CTS Rotary Club voted to support the program in every possible way. Au- tomobiles sufficient to carry the entire party will be at the train to take the Benton county.
 Arkansas farmers will be taken to some of the best farms in the north west part of the state. Farms are be- ing selected which will represent men VITO began at the bottom and have made a success. Stops will be made on the trip at two or three orchards, two dairy farms one live stock farm.
 One of the orchards selected is that of H. w. Gipple, west of Rogers. MT. Gipple's farm is known as Applicable Fruit farm. He has 450 acres of land of which 200 acres are in apple trees. Besides raising apples MT. Gip- pie sells over 800 head of Poland China hogs each year. Beginning 25 years ago with nothing but enthusi- asm and determination he now has a well equipped farm, an apple evapora- tor, grading and packing shed, trac- tors and modern machinery of all sorts.
 Another farm to be visited is that of A. w. Carlson, live stock farmer. Here the farmers will see land which has been brought up to righ produc- tion by the use of manure and good farm practices. MT. Carlson is a breeder of shorthorn cattle. He has some of the finest specimens of the shorthorn breed to be found in Ar kansas. MT. Carlson began farming with almost no resources whatever on land which was considered poor. He has built his land up until he has null tiplied his production more than three times what it was when he began operations 15 years ago.
 The remaining orchards and dairy farms to be visited have not yet been selected ut will be announced in a short time. Further information re- garding these farms will be published in the final program for the short course.

OUTBREAK OF ANTHRAX IN
 SOUTHEASTERN, ARK ANSAS

Several fatalities from anthrax have been reported from southeastern Arkansas. One of the sections which has been stricken most seriously is that around Dewitt in Arkansas coun- ty, reports Dr. J. H. Bux, acting state veterinarian.
 There is no cure for yirulent an thrax, says Dr. Bux, so farmers in the infected regions should protect their we'll animals by vaccination. The di- sease can be controlled by vaccination of we'll animals and the restriction of the movement of animals from in fected premises. All animals that die of anthrax should be burned immedi- ately. Burying is not safe. The an- thrax germs will live in the ground from one year to the next and thrive in damp wet soil.
 When anthrax attacks an animal intense swellings appear on different parts of the body that increase until some vital organ is reached when the animal dies. Afflicted animals also have very high fever. Anthrax at tacks all farm animals. The present outbreak seems to be subsiding, ac- cording to Dr. Bux and is only pres ent in those sections where the disease has been prevalent before.

SELECT TOMATO SEED FROM
 HIGH PRODUCING PLANTS

Experiments have brought out the fact that tomato seed from high pro- ducing plants may produce yields 800 percent greater than seed from low yielding plants, says c. Wooslef, hor- yielding plants, says C.. Woosley, hor- ticulturist, of the Agricultural Divi- sion, University of Arkansas.
 In selecting seed, Mir. Woosley points out that the tomotoes should points out that the tomatoes should be selected while still on the plant and the plant as whole considered. Se- lect the plant and then leave it until the fruit is dead ripe. Use care to select only those plants showing wig orous growth and healthy color. Do not select plants with any indication of Fulsarium wilt. Only plants bear ing evenly colored fruit throughout should be selected. The plants should show heavy set of firm uniform
The Carlisle independent., 1920-08-12

fruit of the desired shape and color. A deep tomato from. stem to blossom end is best. Do not select a plant bearing a flat tomato. Use those fruits for seed that have fairly small cavity with thick walls and an abundance of pulp. This is indicated by the frmness of the fruit. Save only the large and more perfectly de- veloped fruits on each stalk.
 After picking, the tomatoes should be placed in barrel or tub and mash ed. Or the tomoto may be cut in half and the seed squeezed out without wasting the pulp. A quantity of wa ter equal to that of the pulp should be added and the contents stirred wig orously. Allow the contents to fer ment for two days with occasional stirring. After fermentation has talk en place the seed should be taken out and washed several times in clean wa ter. The good seed will sink to the bottom and the refuse can be poured off the top.
 Dry the seed in a breezy place in the sunlight and stir to keep them from sticking together. The seed should be stored in cool dry place away from a flunctuating temperature One bushel of tomatoes will produce about three and one fourtr ounces of seed.

ORIENTAL FUNERAL HELD IN
 CALDWELL
Feast Spread Before the Gods as an
 Earnest of Mans Love

One of the largest funeral services ever held in this city was conducted here Sunday afternoon on Main street between Kimball and Ninth avenues. The services were held for Louie Quongmen, a Chinese gardener, who died here last Wednesday morning. A number of Chinamen and one Chinese woman from Boise were present.
 The services were conducted by one of the Boise Chinamen. The coffin was brought out into the street and opened. Two tables were placed at the foot of the coffin and rug spread in front of the table. On the table was placed roast chicken, ham, cooked rice, a large box of Chinese candy, oranges, Becco, cigarettes and a box containing red Chinese candles and in which was placed during the ceremony lighted sticks of incense. There was also a large floral Masonic emblem.
 The Chinamen that seemed to lead in the services took cymbals and as he walked around the corpse clapped them together He then knelt upon the carpet before the table and taking bits of the food and drink tossed the bits under the table, then each in turn knelt before the table, the sole China woman coming last. All the time the leader was saying something in Chi nese-either chanting or reciting the burial services.
 It was stated that the deceased was a high Chinese mason. After the ser vices on the street were finished the remains were placed in the hearse and taken to the Canyon Hill cemetery where another service was conducted. At this time the black and white mourning strings a, a nun,baf of oa- pers burned during the service.
