NEWS review OF
CURRENT EVENTS

The Supreme courts decision up
holding the prohibition amendment
and the Volstead act came at an OPP
perfume time to relieve the platform
trainers Of embarrassment on the
question. The hopes of anti-prohibi-
tionists which went from wet to moist
are now scarcely humid. Their only
recourse is in the election of con-
gress which will repeal or amend the
VOlstead law.
Gov. Edward L Edwards Of New
Jersey, who is making the race for the
Democratic presidential nomination
largely on the question Of personal lib
ferty, advocates a nationwide refer
endum on the question Of prohibition.
He believes that the sentiment Of the
people so expressed, will force an
amendment to the law. His conten-
ton is that the act goes too far in
attempting to regulate the habits Of
millions Of citizens; that it places in
the lawbreaking and criminal class
millions Of women all over the coun-
try who make light wines from home
lBEOWu 1O1 uOLuCSI4S Uhu
millions Of farmers who make and ma
ture cider from their own orchards /;
that by the prohibition Of beverages
of light alcoholic content, it has in
creased the Illicit distillation of harm
full liquors to twentyfold their former
production; that many Of the agents
of enforcement, both state and fed
eral, have become either blackmailers
of the lawbreakers or partners in
crime; that it is the main impelling
cause why 100000 men of foreign
birth have returned to their native
lands and that it menaces the whole
industrial fabric, and millions of work
;ers are filled with resentment on &C
count of the invasion of their personal
liberties.

truism prevents the acceptance Of o

In spite Of the uncertain political
situation in Germany, the problems
with which the Spa conference win
wrestle, the state Of affairs in Russia
and in the near and far East, a note
Of distinct optimism comes from Eng
land and from sources close to Prime
Minister Lloyd George. The word In
that the whole world Is settling down
and that nations gradually are return
ing to sanity. Ireland is said to show
definite signs Of returning to peace on
q basis Of permanent connection with
the British empire; Egypt is ready to
abandon its claim to complete indie
pendence and to accept a progressive
constitution; pan-Moslem agitation in
India is said to be dying down and
the Turkish situation is clearing. In
this optimistic condition Of mind it 10
impossible to say to what extent the
wish fathers the thought. But If Eng
lish problems really are clearing II
argues well for improved conditions
all around. That the principal coun-
tries of Europe are achieving better
basis, materially at Least, is evident
in increased production, more ship
ments to the United States and a
slight ameliOration of exchange cOndi-
lions. Past history has shown France
and England at least, to be wonder
full in the comeback sense.

who undoubtedly number In their
ranks many extreme radicals.

The Spa conference at the insist
ence of Germans and Italians and in
the hope that the United States will
send representative, has been post
poned until July 5. One of Germany's
big protests at the conference, aside
from the reparations bill, will be
against reimbursing the allied nations
for the expenses of the armies Of oc-
cupation and Of the several control
commissions. These expenses are said
to amount to upward Of 1OO,0OO,OOO
marks or normally about $25,OOO,OOO a
day. IF the conferees can be con-
WINGED that German resources will
stand this big sum in addition to the
huge reparations, the money will be
very acceptable in Tightening the mill
tary budgets of England, France, and

German elections which we're relied
upon to clarity the political atmos-
phere and settle the immediate course
Of government in that country, appar-
emily have failed Of effect. The re-
suit seems to be Of the nature Of
stalemate, and while President Ebert
appears to have pulled through by
small majority the coalition govern
ment which he heads is so beset by
the right and left opposition that par
liamentary chaos is almost inevitable.
Ebert and the forces nearest to him
are moderate socialists. The OppOsi-
ton of the right contains, under vari-
Gus party names and shades of pOlit-
ical belief, the democrats, reaction
aries, limited monarchists and uphold
ers Of the old regime. The left con-
tains the independent socialists and
all the more radical representation.
The government, endeavoring to steer
q middle course and yet an ultra-lib-
eral one for Germany. between these
4rreconcilable elements, will be in q
difficult position.
Indications are that the coalition
will be obliged to continue at the helm
in order to make an appearance Of
stable government before the allied
powers which will meet at the Spa
conference to settle the amount OF
German reparations and other impOr-
tant questions. After that confer
ence new elections aDnear to be q
necessity to remove the ambiguous
complexion of German affairs. One
seemingly bright ray from the recent
elections was the small vote polled
by the party of the extreme left-the
communists or German bolshevists as
they properly may be termed. This
happy result, however, was somewhat
vitiated by the extremely heavy vote
polled by the Independent socialists

egg production of their flocks to a
marked debree by the consistent weed
ing out Of the many loafers in the
poultry flocks followed by careful
breeding to secure eggs for the spring
hatch will provide a means for rapid
improvement.
Much interest has been shown in
the discussion Of poultry diseases and
poultry house construction. Inspec-
ton of poultry flocks throughout the
county indicate that lack of proper
housing is responsible for more sick
ness and chronic diseases in poultry
than anything else. Those who have
attended poultry culling demonstra-
tons were able to learn the essential
points to be observed in constructing
poultry houses. In many cases the
old poultry house can be converted
into the approved type. Proper
housing conditions, balanced rations,
and plenty of feed following the con-
sistent culling will make poultry rails
ing one of the most profitable sourc-
es Of income on the farm.

PIG CROP.

Farmers are asking each other how
their pig crop is getting along at this
season of the year. 1t is generally
known that there is a shortage and it
is quite important that the remaining
animals be cared for properly. AT
this season of the year there is dan
ger of undertaking owing to the
shortage of pasture. Farmers who
have provided forage crop seedlings
in extra lots about the farm are now
we'll supplied with good pasture land.
The Blue Grass pasture is especially
poor at this time of the season and We
call attention to the results of expert.
mental work done at Ames station the
need of sufficient grain with Blue
Grass ration was shown.
Pigs that received only one percent.
corn ration twice daily with pasture
made an average daily gain of only a
quarter of pound. On a three per
cent corn ration another lot Of pigs
made .S3 pound gain daily. When
pigs were full fed shelled corn twice
daily they made an average daily gain
Of 1.20 pounds. A fourth lot of pigs
settled shelled corn and tankage in
separate feeders made an average
daily gain of 1.35 pounds. After 120
days OF these various methods of feed
ing, the first lot averaged only 70
pounds in weight while the fourth lot
averaged 204 pounds.
"If you want to use blue grass as
pasture and tankage to make 200 pound
pigs in the least time, with the least
labor and at the lowest cost, look to
the self-feeder for the inspiration and
the means.

ust farm tour will be scheduled for
the purpose Of inspecting some OF
these alfalfa fields and one or two
farms where commercial fertilizers
are being used on corn. A definite
date will soon be set for this tour. All

make a special effort to attend this
tour. Already several requests have
come in to the office in regard to the
time set for this tour. These per-

MORE ALFALFA.

Ivan Boone, who lives west of Della
ware, has finished putting up the sec
ond crop of alfalfa. Mr.. Boone says
that he cut five tons off from one acre
OF alfalfa this year and II the season
is favorable there will be another good
cutting.
Mr.. Boone states that there is moth
ing like alfalfa in the feed line for
dairy cattle. He feels that the time
has come when farmers should put tn
more alfalfa in order to reduce the
amount OF mill feed necessary for or
binary feeding purposes.
