Washington. July l2.-The sugges-
ton of President Harding looking to
disarmament conference at WASH
ington was expected by officials here
to meet ready response from the
powers concerned. Their attitude to-
ward such a proposal, 1t was said,
was sounded In advance through
American embassies.
Tending to confirm this belief, In
the opinion Of officials, was the state
ment of Premier Lloyd George in the
House Of Commons welcoming the
initiative of President Harding in the
matter.
1t Is understood that the powers
were sounded also on the question of
the Far East. and whether discus
sion Of this problem would be proper
In connection with consideration OF
disarmament. As result the impress
sion obtains that the Far Eastern
problem will be prominently consld-
cred.
The details OF organization Of the
conference will be left until the pow
ers formally accept.
Before the conference actually
meets there may be some definition
of the subjects to be considered, how
ever, and an understanding given Of
what the powers consider their spe.
clal interests.
No date for the gathering has been
set, nor has the American represents
ton to the conference been deter
mined. 1t is believed that Secretary
Hughes may head the American dele
CATION.
London.-Premier Lloyd George, in
statement to the House Of Commons,
gave a full and frank explanation Of
the steps leading to the proposed con-
ference for the discussion Of arma-
ments. The first principle Of the Brit.
lsh policy, he declared, was friendly
cooperation with the United States.
1--WE are convinced" said the pre-
mier, shat upon this, more than any
single factor, depends the peace and
well being Of the world"
The initiative of President Harding
with respect to an International con-
ference on the limitations of arma.
ments had been received with the ut.
most pleasure by Great Britain, said
Mr.. Lloyd George. and he added that
he spoke for the empire as Il whole.
At the same time, Great Britain de.
sired to maintain close friendship and
cooperation with japan. which har.
monied the influences Of the two great
Asiatic powers and constituted an es-
sential safeguard to the well being Of
the British empire and the peace Of
the East. The "open door" In China
was another aim Of the government

MANY VALUABLE SUGGESTIONS

Prepared by the United States Depart

A community can ''live around" from
church building to church building
from schoolhouse to schoolhouse,
from hall to hall, but so long as 1t
iives that way 1t will never expert
ence the distinct pleasure that comes
from occupying a home of its own in
the form OF a community house. A
good community house adds something
to the life of the community, in the
opinion Of specialists Of the United
states Department of Agriculture, set
forth In Farmers Bulletin 1173,
"Pians OF Rural Community Build
ings," now ready for distribution.
Before community decides the
question Of erecting a building, says
this bulletin, 1t should make thor
ough study Of the local situation.
The study should show that an actual
need for the building is felt by the
varied organizations of a public ma
ture and by the people themselves. 1t
should demonstrate that the building

or all grain feeds usually supplied
to farm poultry, corn has been, and
still is, the most popular. This prob
ably is due to It's abundance and rel
atlve cheapness. and because 1t is the
most relished OF all the grains. Corn
Is heating and fattenlng, aud when
fed TO fowls as the only feed, fat rath-
er than eggs is the usual result. Ii
should be balanced with meat, bone,
bran, and such feeds as are rich In
nitrogenous matter, in which corn Is
deficient. When corn is fed to laying
hens that have opportunity to take
plenty OF exercise and to obtain in
sects and green feed, more satisfac-
tory results are likely to be obtained.
1t may be fed more freely during the
winter than surlng the summer, say
poultry specialists of United States
Department of Agriculture.
Wheat ls Safest.
Wheat is generally regarded as the
safest grain to be fed alone. 1t Is
not quite so fattening as corn, but Is
too fattening when fed alone. Wheat
should be supplemented by the same
feeds as advised TO use with corn to
increase the proportion of protein.
Wheat contains little more protein
than corn, about the same amount Of
carbohydrates. but less fat, and on
the whole Is considered not 50 valu-
able for fattening. but slightly better
for growth. Good grades Of wheat
are relatively too high In price to
be used freely In feeds at the pres
ent time. Wheat screenings Of a
good grade can frequently be pur-
chased and fed to advantage. OF
course, there is always the danger Of
introducing weed seeds on the farm.
Burnt wheat" seldom can be fed ad-
vantageously, the difference In price
between this and good wheat being
usually too slight to warrant Its use.
Oats Needed for Variety.
Oats, while not as good as corn or
wheat, are necessary for variety,
They contain more indigestible fiber
than the other grains. Hulled oats
are rellshed by poultry and are excel.

CULTIVATE POTATOES OFTEN
Hoeing Should Be Done Once a Week
for Six Weeks After Plants
Appear-klli Bugs.

Potatoes must be hoed or cultivated
at least once week for about six
weeks after the plants appear. While
cultivating, the soil should be drawn
about the plants, forming hills to pro
tect the potatoes from the sun.
Potato bugs, old-fashioned "hard
shells" and their children, the soft
shells or slugs. are sure to eat the
foliage Of potatoes unless prevented
from doing so. The "hard shell" bugs
that are first to appear can often be
picked OFF by hand and killed, but
about the only way to control the
young soft bugs or slugs is to poison
them. This can be done by spraying
or sprinkIlng the potato leaves with
a mixture consisting Of one ounce Of
arsenate Of lead In one gallon Of wa
ter or the plants may be busted with
powdered lime to which paris green
has been added at the rate of one
ounce to four quarts Of lime. say spe-
clalists of the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture. The dust should
be slfted over the plants during the
early morning while the dew is upon
the leaves. It will not be necessary
to dust or spray all the plants, but
only those where the bugs have start
ed, then go over the potatoes every
few days to see that the bugs have
not gotten fresh start.

MANY USE NEIGHB0RS' SIRES

by Simple Plan.

That the use Of good purebred sires
does not necessarily involve owner
ship is shown by developments In the

Of domestic animals In the country.
A Minnesota breeder In Kittson coun-

owns purebred bull but uses neigh
bor's Percheron stallion and also a
neighbor's purebred boar. To. obtain
poultry Of improved breeding he pur-
chased eggs from a breeder of stand

Aonther live stock owner In the
same county states In n letter to the
United States Department OF Agrlcul-
ture: ~ do not own purebred bull,
but all cows are bred by a purebred
bull owned by a neighbor." In these
cases the quantity Of farm live stock
kept was relatively small and under
such circumstances the arrangements
stated are both simple and practical.

Barley does not seem to be rellshed
by hens, but may be used to give va

tie more protein than corn and little
less than oats.
Buckwheat is quite liked by fowls,

that before an attempt is made to es-
innate the funds available well-di-
rected campaign Of enlightenment be
carried on throughout the surrounding
country, with the object of making
known the benefits to be derived from
the erection Of the building.
Every community will have Its own
particular uses for a building, and
these can be determined only by the
people themselves. A standard COM
IMMUNITY building, however. 1t is point
ed out, should have as a minimum
these accommodations:
Accommodations Of Every Building.
An assembly room, perhaps with
movable seats. that can be used as a
meeting place for the people or for
various organizations. With the seats
removed the room VII be available as
a gymnasium. as game room, as a
dining room, or for fairs and exhibits.
A stage on which lectures, plays
and various entertainments can be
given and which may have a screen
for motion pictures.
A kitchen where food may be pre-
pared.
A place where lunches. suppers and
banquets may be served.
The more advanced communities
would need, 1t is thought, other accom-
modations. These should be carefully
estimated In determining the size of
the structure. 1t Is well to take fu-
ture growth into consideration. de-
tails Of the varieus features Of plan
ming. constructing, and maintaining a

quarts Of crude carbolic acid. Apply
with a spray pump or brush. This, II
properly put on, not only kills the
mites. but destroys all their eggs and
makes the house or any building where
II is used fresh and clean.
Cleanliness Is Of the greatest Inn
portance in keeping lice, mites, fieas,
and other insects under control. The
poultry houses, roosts, dropping
boards, brood coops, and all other
places that the fowls occupy should be
kept clean. An abundance Of light and
fresh air should be provided. While
these things cannot be depended on to
keep away lice and mites, they make
II easier to determine when the pests
are present and help to keep the
fowls healthy, vigorous, and better
able to withstand an attack Of lice
and mites. Sick or diseased fowls
are always the first victims OF these
parasites, which makes 1t important
that the fowls be kept healthy.
