Japan Makes No Protest
on California Land Law

TOXIC, Dec. 30.-The state
ment Is made In official circles
that Japan has not protested the
California land measure in view
Of the negotiations which are
pending. The declaration made
on December 81 by Representa-
tive Kahn Of California, 1t Is be-
lieved, was due possibly to mis-
apprehension over the speech
made by Viscount Uchida, on
December "a, In which he ex-
pressed the opinion that new
characterization treaty would
be concluded, leading to nullifi-
cation Of the California land law.
State Department officials at
Washington have already de-
clared that Representative Kahn
was mistaken in his impression
that Japan had withdrawn oppo-
sition to the California anti-Jap-
anese land law.

SPLENDID BATON FOR FOCH
Most Costly Ever Presented Even to

guisheo Predecessors.

Ferdinand Foeh, marshal of France,
win soon be the recipient of the most
expensive baton ever presented to q
marshal of France. At the base of the
baton, which is 201a inches long. are
embossed in gold the names Of Mar
shall Foch's capital victories-Metz,
st. Gond, the second Marine, Strasburg,
etc. Above this, in gold on red copper,
appears the legend: 'Terror belli, de-
Gus Pacis"-'Terrible in war, gentle In
peace" Then beyond the field of blue
and stars appears the inscription,
'Marechal Ferdinand Foch, 1914-19."
and this is surmounted by the golden
arms of France, the United States.
Lorraine's dual cross and the arms Of
the Knights of Columbus. The alloy
of the metal parts Of the baton is

STRIPED CUCUMBER BEETLES
Clean Garden of All Forms of Vegeta.
ton in Fall and Burn 1t to De-
stroy Harmful Pests.

The best way to handle the striped
cucumber beetle is by cleaning the
garden in the fall of all forms of veg
citation and making q bonfire of it.
The adjacent plots to the garden
should also be raked and the rubbish
burned. In this way many species of
insects will be killed that would 9TH
erwise live through the winter. Many
small gardeners leave the garden
cleaning until spring and then wonder
at the numerous forms Of insect life.
One day of cleaning and burning In
the fall saves several days of insect
picking during the spring and the loss
of number of plants. Some observ-
ers make the statement that one day
In the fall is equal to ten days Of
fighting the young in the spring. Among
the birds that have been seen eating
the cucumber beetle on several occa-
sions are the quail. English sparrow,
wren, grosbeck and oriole.

SOME RECORD AIR FLIGHTS
Give Proof That Birds Are Still the
Undisputed Champions in the
Flying Game.

Long distance flights by birdmen
have long been anticipated by the birds
themselves. says the Christian Science
Monitor. Recent proof of their endur-
ance and wanderlust comes in a re
port from Capetown, which says that
five swallows have been traced recent
" from hangers In England to tenn
porary homes in South Africa. These
birds were ringed as nestlings and
found by happy chance at the other
end of the world. One nesting ringed
In Lancashire, was found in Cape
Province in February of the next year ;
another, ringed in Ayrshire was re-
ported next March In Orange Free
State; another, ringed in Yorkshire,
was recovered in East Griqualand the
following February; fourth swallow,
this time an adult, ringed In Stafford
shire, was recovered in Natal 10
months afterward, the fifth bird,
ringed on June /, 1919 In Stirlingshire,
was found in February, 1920. at Lake
Chrissie.
The ringing scheme was inaugurated

Birds.

CARING FOR BREEDING BULL
Male Calf Should Be Separated From
Heifers When About Six Months
OId-Feed Skim Milk.

The bull calf intended for breeding
purposes should be well fed during
the growing period. An understood
breeding animal is never looked upon
with favor. The male calf should be
separated from the heifers when about
six monthsly old. If plenty Of skim
milk is available. it is well to continue
feeding 1t until the calf is eight
months old as it will stimulate growth
greatly. Pasture in summer and Glow
err or alfalfa hay with silage in win
ter constitute the best roughage. For
winter a light grain ration Of corn
and bran or oats is desirable. The
two most common mistakes made in
handling. bulls are excessive use when
young as a result of allowing them to
run with the cows and lack of exercise
and too much fat when the bull be-
comes old.

OATS BEST CROP
Statistics Show Advantages
Over Corn Growing.
On Comparatively Cheap Land In
Western Canada Farmers Get Rec
ord Yields-cost Per Acre Much
Less Than Corn.

How much more does IL cost 70
grow an acre of corn than to grow an
acre of oats? To get proper com
parison it is necessary to take an H.
lustration from farm on which both
crops are grown successfully. An ex-
ample has just been brought to the
writer's attention of the comparative
cost of growing corn and oats on n
Minnesota farm. 1t is furnished by
Albert Inner, well-known farmer in
Cottonwood county, Mimi, in an ar
ticle which appeared In the Cotton
wood Citizen.
Mr.. Inner says: 81 had curiosity
to know how much it would cost to
raise an acre of oats and corn. To
find out kept account. during the
year, of the time required and the
cash expended to grow the above men,
toned crops" His figures show that
it cost him S31.49 to grow an acre of
corn and S1S13 1-3 to grow an acre of
oats, or difference Of $1,000 an acre
in favor of oats.
Provided the respective crop yields
are not altogether out of proportion to
the cost of growing the crop, this
seems to be a good argument in favor
of growing oats. But to grow oats
successfully it is not necessary to use
$3.50 or 5000 land. In western Canada
some of the best oat-growing land in
the world can be bought for about $50
an acre. On this land good yields and
a high quality of grain is obtainable.
Fifty to sixty bushels to the acre
in properly prepared land is a fair
average yield for oats in western Can
ada in a normal season but yields of
up to 100 bushels, and even more, to
the acre lave been frequent in good
years. The quality of oats grown in
western Canada is attested by the fact
that at all the international exhibit
tons for many years past oats grown
in western Canada have been award
ed the leading prizes. There is on
record oats grown in western Canada
that have weighed as much as 4S
pounds to the measured buslcel, and
the dominion grain inspector is author
ity for the statement that So per cent
of the oats examined by him in west
ern Canada weigh more than ~
pounds to the measured bushel. The
standard weight for bushel of oats
is "a pounds.
Samples of these oats weighing up
ward of 45 pounds to the bushel are
on exhibition at the Canadian govern
ment information bureau, located in
various cities in the United States.-

PLAN TO MAKE YARD
FOR POULTRY FLOCK
South Side Of Building Is
Favored by Experts.
Height Of Fences Will Need to Be REQ.
uIated by the Variety of Fowls
Hexagonai Wire Netting Is
Not Expensive.

II convenient it In well to have
double yards, for then one may rotate
green crops. Small yards may be
sown to oats, wheat, rye, rapeseed, ETC.,
out II large yards are available they
can be kept In a permanent sod OF
bluegrass, alfalfa, or clover While the
fowls are using one yard the green
feed in the other is getting a fresh
start.
II the yards are to be on only one
side of the house, they should be on
the south side in order that the fowls
may have the benefit of the first dry
ground in early spring. 1t not infre-
quenuy happens that in localities
where snow is abundant the ground on
the south side is dry many days be-
fore that on the north side.
If the yards are to be in permanent
sod and are to furnish green feed for
the fowls, 20 to so square feet should
be allowed for each bird If part of the
green feed is to be provided for other
wise, and the yards used mainly for
exercise grounds. 35 to 40 square feet
for each bird will be sufficient, poul-
try specialists Of the United States
department of agriculture say.
Hexagonal wire netting, pinch
mesh, is suitable for fencing and can
be bought cheaply. Where several
runs are adjoining, the fences may be
boarded up at the bottom to height
of 2 to pa feet. or 1-inch mesh wire
can be used in place of these boards,
to prevent the males fighting one an
other. Height of fences will need to
be regulated by the variety of fowls.
The heaviest breeds, like the Brahmas,
may be restrained by 4-foot fence,
while most of the other breeds can be
kept in by a 6-foot fence. Some Of the
Hamburgs and le3horns. however, need
Z or s foot fence. BY clipping the
flight feathers on one wing they can
be kept in without much trouble.
Gates should be provided in order to
permit access from one yard to the
next
Shade of some kind should be pro-
vided, and this can often be advan-
tageously furnished by planting fruit
trees (such as pear, plum, peach,
cherry and applet in the yard.
