United States Government Sends Note
to Council Of the League Of
Nations.

Paris, Feb. 25-The United States
government, in its note to the council
OF the League of Nations on the ques-
ton Of mandates claims an equal con-
Germ and interest with the other prin-
cipal allied and associated powers in

This was shown when the note sent
by the American State department and
laid before the council of the league

The council again took up the note,
considering it with particular refer
ence to this claim advanced by the
United States. Some of the other mem
bers held that America had forfeited
such rights by Withdrawing, as an as
ISOLATED power, from the supreme
council.
In the summary of the note, which
was made public Wednesday, it was
revealed that the United States de
clared that It had never given its CON

The principal feature of the note in
addition to the points contained in the
summary. was the American conten-
ton of equal right and interest in dis
posing of Germany's overseas posses
sions. on this the note said:
"As one of the principal allied and
associated powers the United States

BEST CABBAGE FOR STORING
Should Be Carefully Grown and Of Va
riety Well Adapted to Keeping,
Say Experts.

Cabbage for storing should be care
fully grown and handled and of a va
riety well adapted to keeping, say the
vegetable specialists of the United
States Department of Agriculture
The heads should be solid and all
loose leaves removed and practically
free from injuries caused by insects
and diseases. They should be placed
in a storage house so constructed and
arranged as TO prevent drip from the
structure striking the stored heads. 1t
is also essential that moisture and ven
tilation be so controlled as to prevent
the condensation of moisture on the
cabbage while in storage. The tenn
perature maintained in common stor-
age houses may vary from 81 to 40 or
so degrees Fahrenheit. depending on
outdoor conditions. In no case should
the cabbage be allowed to freeze.
The usual type of construction en-
ployed in commercial storage houses
is that Of a broad, low house with an
alley sufficiently wide to admit a team
and wagon through the center, and
with the storage bins or shelves ar
ranged on either side. The cabbage Is
placed on shelves in layers, one to
three layers deep, or In crates or venti-
lated bins. Banks, pits and cellars
are also largely used for the keeping
OF the crop.

AFFECT FARM VALUES
BY CHANGES In TYPE
Certain Crops Have Ceased to
Be Profitable.
Farmer In Making New Selection VIII
Do Well to Look Back and Follow
Economic Changes That Have
Occurred.
prepared by the United states Department

prepared by the United States Department
of Agricultural
Many farmers. before buying a farm,
have saved themselves future losses
by looking we'll into the matter of
probable change in the type OF
farming practiced in the region they
have under consideration. Certain
crops may cease to be profitable owing
to the development of other regions
more favOrably situated for their pro-
ductiOn and marketing Some crops
may have to be abandoned because
of disease, insect pests or other causes.
The United States Department of Ag-
riculture suggests the test question:
Is the farm selected adapted to such
possible changes?
For instance. the farm selected may
how be growing beans. potatoes, corn,
oats, clover and hay, with the pros
pect that beans and potatoes will soon
cease to be profitable. The question
then arises-can some other crop or
crops be found to replace them? Very
few regions have a wide range of
crops. especially in general farming,
and adaptability to new crops is very
important consideration.
Can the beef cattle farm be made
over into a dairy farm? Can the
dairy farm be made into a sheep farm?
Can the fruit farm he made into
hay, grain or live stock farm? In
many instances it will be found that
the farm In question demands a type
of farming that cannot be easily
changed TO meet the needs of chang
ing conditions
When making a selection, look back
and follow the local economic changes
that have occurred in the last 30
years, and then judge for yourself
the farm you have under con-
has the adaptability neces-
sary for meeting the changes that are
bound to come in the future.
