London. Sept. l6.-The arrange.
ments tor the proposed Irish peace
conference are cance,ed, but the ne
gotiations still are not ruptured.
That in brief, is the story of yester-
days unexpected and surprising de-
velcpment
Eamon he Ya'era, the Irish re-
publican leader, having reafHrmed his
claim TO enter the conference as the
representative OF an independent SOW
ereign state, Premier Lloyd-George
declares t.iat such admission Is i'm.
possible. He announces the cancela-
tion of the arrangements for a confer
ence and the necessity Of his consult
ing his colleagues on the subject.
Lloyd-GeOrse Laid Up"
The premier is careful not to close
the door to possible resumption OF the
negotiations. On the contrary he
gives De Valera and his supporters
the amplest time and opportunity to
reconsider their position he de-
scribes himself even as laid up at
Gairloch. necessitating few days
delay. He IS suffering from a chill
and will have TO remain indoors for a
few days,
Declaring that there was but one
answer to claim which would be
equivalent to Great Britain's ac-
knowledging Irelands right to nego-
tiate treaty of closer association
with some other foreign power he
mildly reproaches the Irish people
for taking no single step to meet the
generous advances OF the British gov
ernment.
The whole tone OF the letter, in
fact. reveals that the premier still
retains hope OF some more favorable
development Incidentally, the pre-
mers letter clears up the mystily-
ing events Of the last few days, show
ing that De Valera's reply was taken
by McGrath and Boland to Gairloch'
but that the premier tried unsuccess'
fully to persuade modification of its
tenor, and offered to regard 1t as not
having been delivered.
De Valera's Attitude Serious Factor
The fact that De Valera and his
colleagues failed to take advantage
of this offer is considered an adverse
factor and lends a serious aspect to
tle situation.
The prospect is that there will be
no move now from either side for a
few days.

SKILLET CREEK
FARMERS CLUB
Soils Are Discussed by William
Toole and Professor Griffith
Richards Of University

The last meeting OF the Skillet
Greek Farmers club was al the home
of Mr.. and Mrs. Wilbur Cahoon on
Friday evening. About 70 members
and friends were present and the
meeting was called to order by the
president, Mrs. Alex Smith. The min
utes were read and accepted.
Throughout the evening the W1ch-
ern-Templin and Koppke quaftette
gave some very pleasing songs which
elected the ready applause they so
fully deserved.
William Toole spoke in general
terms of what constitutes soil fertll-
itv and laid special stress on the val
us of humus, which is the name given
to decayed vegetation which has be-
come a part of the soil. The prlnc1-
nal difference between new and worn
out soils is the presence or absence
of humus. Humus holds the various
elements of soil fertility and helps to
promote the changes which make the
food elements available for plants.
He described the work of the various
kinds of soil bacteria which help to
secure nitrogen for plant food but al
so promote chemical changes to make
other plant food elements available
Very few farmers can depend alone on
barnyard manure to keep up the fer
tility of the farm and none can do it
with the products of the farm alone.
After the Sunshine march and a
very pleasant visiting intermission
Mrs. George Martiny with her girls
chorus gave several songs which were
encored with delight.
Griffith Richards, assistant Profes
sor of Soils of the College Of Agricul
ture, gave a very interesting talk on
! the value of commercial fertilizers to
help build up the fertility of the farms
| Farmers are steadily increasing their
iuse. These fertilizers supply three
!elements of plant nutrition, nitrogen
phosphorus and potash. The nitrogen
furnished is helpful but farmers
should depend on growing legumes
and with the aid of the bacteria make
the nitrogen supply a farm product
Phosphate Of lime is the plant food
that is most necessary to supply
i through commercial fertilizers.
The department of Agriculture at
/ Madison is ready to assist those who
wish to improve their farms. This
will be done through examining the
soils and advice given. There are
some fees required but good share
Of the expense is paid from special
fund. The cost is less per farmer
where five or more farmers club to-
gether to get the service, but any
number of persons one or more can
arrange to secure this service For in

culture, Madison, Wis.

Of the upper portion of the house it was

pany.
