Turkish nationalists, in the opinion
of Demetrios Gounaris, the Greek min

she will not accept the proposals Of
the London conference, and is de-
handing the return of Thrace and
Smyrna, obtained by Greece as the re-
suit of. the war;
rs also is being openly declared
that the Turkish forces in Cilicia are
being withdrawn for use against the
Greeks, and we have news of KEN
alist concentration against our army.
Therefore, the latter has been rein
forced, and three classes of reserves,
numbering $4,000 men, have been
called out as the result of an urgent
decision by the council, after consul
tation with the premier and myself.
"Such precautions must be taken,
and the commander-in-chief has taken
all the military measures for the safe

what this portends, but in all prob
ability it portends a Greek offensive.

completion of the Turkish concentra-

punched. Hens with goslings may
be confined to the coop and the gos-.
lings allowed to range. In mild
weather the hens are allowed to brood
the gosliigs from seven to ten days,
when the latter are able to take care
of themselves. 1t is very necessary
to keep the young goslings dry, so they
are usually kept confined In the
morning until the dew is dried off, and
they should not be allowed to get into
water until partly feathered. This oc-
ours when they are from two to four
weeks old, depending on the weather
and their range. Goslings caught and
apparently drowned in cold rain may
sometimes be revived by drying in fan
mel near fire.
Good-sized growing coops with
board floors should be provided for the
goslings, which must be protected
from their enemies. When on range,
the young bird needs some attention,
as they may get lost or caught in
post holes and odd corners. Young
goslings, If confined, should be given
grass yards and the coops removed
frequently to fresh grass. 1t is bet
ter to keep the growing goslings sepa-
rate from the old stock. Shade should
be provided in hot weather. If very
young gOslings are allowed to run with
large animals, they are apt to be in
jured or killed.

POTATOES TAKE FERTIL-
ITY TO GROW A BIG CROP

Potatoes respond to liberal fertili-
zation more than any other farm crop,
according to the Ohio Experiment
Station. Tests show that without
fertilizer yields of potatoes decrease
rapidly, averaging loss Of IA BUSH
els in 20 years. y
Tests with field potatoes at the
Ohio Experiment Station are made in
a rotation of potatoes, wheat and
clover. Where the potatoes have
been fertilized at the rate of 100
pounds Of acid phosphate per acre
there is an average increase of s
bushels per acre, but when 100
pounds of muriate of potash was add
! ed to each of the potato and wheat
crops, the average is increased by "a
bushels per acre, or total yield of
166 bushels.
| Eight tons Of manure applied to
clover sod before ploWlng down for
potatoes has given a 25-year average
of I'll bushels.
Specialists state that it is best to
grow field potatoes in regular rota-
ton, keeping an interval of 2 or more
years between the potato crops be-
cause of the liability Of disease, car
rying over from one crop to the other.
Flowing down a clover sod which
has been treated with 10 tons of ma
nure per acre and the potatoes fer
tilized with 300 to 400 pounds Of acid
phosphate will satisfy the fertility re-
quirements for the crop.

BETTER BULLS ADD PROFITS
Associations Make Possible Improved
Sires at but Small Additional
M Cost to Dairyman.

fPrepared by the United States Depart
& ment of Agriculture)
Il Two years ago bull association
was organized In Webster County,
Mo-. and a year later another one in
the adjoining counties Of Wright and
Douglas. The experience of these two
associations illustrates the tendencies
that such organizations display. A
tabular comparison Is given below,
from which it will be noted that both
organizations brought about great
reduction in the number of bulls need
ed. Before organizing, Webster coun-
ty had ! bull for, every II cows, and
Wright and Douglas counties bull
for every 20 cows; but in each locality
after they got the association into
operation they found / bull for every
30 cows was enough.
"a Another great change was in the
value Of the bulls. Before the bull as
sociations were organized the bulls
which the members owned were valued
at SIS each. After organizing, the
bulls purchased and owned by the two
associations were worth on the aver
age about $275 each, which is nearly
four times as much as the privately
owned bulls.
Yet the cost was not much greater
per farm. When an individual owns
bull, the value of the bull and the
amount of the investment are the
same but in cooperative associa-
tion each man pays only part of the
cost. The tabulation shows that the
investment per farmer, that is, the
average amount that each man had to
pay was about one and quarter
times as much after the organization
as it was before, in Webster county
and a little over twice as much in the
Wright-Douglas association, but in
