League Believed to Acquiesce in Amer.
ica's Contentious on Mandates.

Washington, June 17.-In the appeal
OF the president Of the Council of the
League Of Nations to Great Britain,
France and Japan to adjust with the
i'United States the question at issue
to clear the way for solution Of the
mandate problems administration Of
ficials. professed today to see evidence
of the leagues acquiescence in the
American contention that the United
States lbe accorded her full rights as
one OF the victors in the World War.
The state department had not received
a copy Of the communication and until
1t does official comment is expected to
be withheld.
The two important controversies
between the United States and the
mandatory powers are those concern
ing the island Of Yap and Mesopotamia.
The initial effort Of the United States
was directed toward their adjustment
by the nations involved, members Of
the league sought to bring the cases
before the body for adjustment.
There has been lacking, however. a
unanimity Of opinion among the pow
ers represented at the seat OF the
league on The advisability Of burden
ing the council with the full respon-
sibility OF adjusting the issues, and
British officials have been represent
cd as being especially dcsirous that
the zap question be handled by di-
rect negotiations between the United
States and Japan. The British posi-
ton on Mesopotamia, however, has
been somewhat different it was
pointed out. for when France sug-
gcstcd that she would bring before
the council the question OF zap, it
was Great Britain that ntimated that
the council was the proper place for
the Judgement Of complaints concern
ing Mesopotamia.
1t was suggested today that the will
ingness Of Japan to discuss the Japan
question directly might be due to init
nations that such course would have
the approval Of tho powers.

WET WEATHER. AND WEEDS
So Farmers In Eastern Section Can't
Do Flowing

Eastern Kansas farmers are nav
ing difficulty with their fall plow-
ing because Of the growth OF weeds
which are reported to be much more
rank than usual. But, mt the same
time, this growth OF vegetation
serves as a valuable layer of fertii-
izer once the soil Is turned, says the
weekly crop report Of the state board
of agriculture.
Livestock markets continue unat-
tractive to holders Of grass fed cattle
and the movement is reported as
slow.
The hog cholera still Is reported In
many parts OF central and eastern
Kansas, but the disease now Is well
under control, J. G.. Mohler, secre-
tary of the board, reports.
Hot winds which did considerable
damage to late crops In the central
part of the state and dry weather
prevailed throughout the week In all
parts of the state. Consequently
rain is needed quite badly In the
central and western thirds where In
most counties the ground Is too hard
for fall blowing.

WILL SWAT THE SMUT
Extensive Drive Is Being Carried
On By Farmers Now

An intensive campaign to smite
sinking smut of wheat is being car
ried on In the state Of Kansas by
the extension division Of the Agri-
cultural College in cooperation with
the county agricultural agents. A
survey Of the state showed fields OF
wheat with a trace to as high as 80
per cent of sinking smut. Some
farmers received a dOckage Of as
high as 40 cents a bushel while
others were docked 4 and cents a
busheI. Some counties report smut
to average to 10 per cent.
This loss is only a small part OF
the loss caused by smut. for the
smutted head is useless. and 10 per
cent smut means a reduction Of 10
ner cent of the crOr Three million
dollars would be conservative esti-
mate Of the loss caused by smut this
year in the state Of Kansas.
