WHO'LL REPRESENT
 U. 5. IS QUESTION
Peace Conference to Re- sume Sittings At San
 Reno April 10
er A.sooIated pre.s

Paris March 31.-The resumption of
 the sitting of the peace conference,
 which now seems definitely set for
 April 10 or Il at San Reno, Italy,
 brings up the question whether the
 United States will be represented and
 if so, by whom. Hug c. Wallace, the
 American ambassador to France. has
 been sitting in the peace conference
 sessions held in Paris, and Ambassa-
 dor John w. Davis at London.
 They are sitting not as active dele-
 gates but by courtesy of the represen-
 tative of the allied powers so that they
 may keep in touch with the course of the negotiations and thus be ready either to take part in them officially
 or to acquaint new American delegates
 if any are appointed should the United
 States resume it's place at the peace
 conference table.
 San Reno, however. is situated in the territory of Americas recently ap- pointed diplomatic representative, Am
 bassador Robert Underwood Johnson, and it is doubtful if Mrc Wallace will journey to SaknRemo and resume his place as an interested spectator at the conference table. It is possible Mr. Johnson may take that post. No instructions have been received

HAIRY VETCH IS
WORTH ATTENTION
OF OUR FARMERS

Hairy vetch thrives in nearly all
soils and climates, is probably as
widely distributed as any other
leguminous forage crop, and Is used
for nearly every purpose for which
forage crops are employed. It is re-
markable for it's ability to grow on
poor soil, to resist cold, drought and
alkai, and for it's comparative inn
munity from insects and diseases.
Despite all these advantages.
hairy vetch is not one Of the .majo
forage crops. The acreage is far
below that of several others of less
value. Forage specialists Of the

The high cost of seeding has been

they assert that the advantages of

More than $4,000 inspections of
fruits and vegetables moving in inter-
state commerce were made by repre-

June 80, 1920. This is an increase
of IS per cent over the number of
inspections for the preceding year.
BY the use of the food products in
spection service shippers, receivers,
and others interested can obtain
sworn statements attesting the con
Titi Il of peIishable products received
at central markets. With immed ate
evidence of the condition of the food
sales are made promptly, thereby ia
cilitating the distribution of the prod

terioration and waste on account of
delays resulting from disputes as to
the condition of products, hastens
the release of cars and prevents un-

The bureau has some forty repre-

It is generally agreed that if food

farm products must be perfected

Should Sell Produce by weight
The bureau of markets is charged
with the enforcement of the United
States standard contatner act, which
provides only for standard capaci-

application of this law has resulted
in the widespread use of these con-

ciate the benefits derived from the
Use of uniform methods Of market

Standardization OF larger shipping

course, the best method is to sell
produce by the pound, where 1t is
impracticable to sell by weight uni

is true of any other food commodity

methods result in dissatisfaction is

recently shipped potatoes to the New

which the trade was not familiar.
Although the potatoes were of high

This involves production of
sufficient food and feed to make

sustaining, the growing of more
legumes and practice of crop
rotations to maintain soil fertil-
tty, increased production of pure

simplest method of overcoming the
difficulty about which you write.
There is no way by WHICH yous can
prevent the milk leaking except to
draw it more frequently than you
are now doing. There are two rea-
sons for this trouble. First, the
sphincter muscle at the bottom of the
teat has become relaxed and allows
the milk to leak out. This Is not an
uncommon trouble. You know, Of
course, that a rubber band, If stretch
ed for sufficient number of times,
loses part of it's elasticity. This
is what has happened in the case Of
your cow. By milking her oftener
and relieving the udder you can re-
duce the leakage. Sometimes this
practice cures the trouble.

Even though this food was greatly

Sweet potatoes can be easily and
cheaply grown in Georgia. They con-
stitute one Of our most desirable
crops. They provide 55S calories per

they are slightly sweeter than Irish
potatoes. They contain Is per cent

they have a higher fuel value per

constituents of the dietary, the
Georgia sweet potato will be found
food not only for the children, but
for the entire family as well. The
principal drawback to it's cultiva-
the difficulty experienced in curing
it. When properly cured, it can be
shipped to al parts of the United
states and can be kept for several
months after the harvest in an al
most ideal condition. The structures
necessary to store sweet potatoes
are neither difficult or costly to
build. The picture above presents a
sweet potato storage house. If one
of these were established in every
small hamlet, or town in Georgia, we
could double our output of sweet
potatoes ard End a profitable and ac-
ceptable market for them at home

not only a profitable industry, bu,
