ANOTHER Big STRIKE
THREATENS BRITAIN
Government Decides to End
Control Of Agriculture,
Opening New Crisis.
By the Associated Press


LONDON, June IA further Industrial
dispute may be added to the existing
controversies IN the coal. cotton and engi-
neering trades (by which some 1000. 900
men are out of work. through the deci-
sion of the Government to cease control
Of agriculture.
This decision Ia due to the financial
crisis through which the country is pass
ing. It has already been seen by the
Government that the protracted depres-
sion in trade, which has been intensified
by the continued suspension of work in
the Goa! fields, involving the Government
in heavy expenditures for the mainte-
nance OF unemployed. and the heavy
deficit of the railways. which still are
under Government control, will com
pletely upset all budget estimates. Hence
It seems that the Government Is hasten
ing to do away with all control which
involves financial liability.
The cessation Of control of agriculture,
which will require the assent of Parlia-
ment would mean the abolition of guar
anteed prices for wheat and oats and of
the powers possessed by the County
Councils to enforce proper cultivation.
1t would also result in doing away with
the Agricultural Wages Board which
fixed minimum wages. varying from as
to SO shillings weekly for agricultural
laborers.
This would mean that farmers would
be permitted to resume their freedom
from legal restrictions In the payment of
wages. and 1t is considered certain that
they would reduce the scale of wages
now in force. which probably would lead

It's Iced-tea Time

And welcome to our City
is the unanimous greeting. You
see the tall, amber-filled glasses,
hear the CHEEKY tinkle of the ice
in restaurants, clubs and
homes. In none of them would
tea the purity of which was
not known be served. In most
of them equally scrupulous care
is exercised in demanding ice
purity. For however pure the
tea, if the ice used be not of a
guaranteed quality, the tempt
ing drink can't be safe.
That's why Knickerbocker Ice made
from 4-times filtered water, frozen IN
sanitary containers-delirered an clean

ULTIMATUM ON SILESIA
PROTESTED BY MAYER
Action Deemed Recognition
of Gen. uon Hoefer.
BIZ the Associated Press.

PARIS, June 7.-Dr. Wilhelm, Mayer,
the German Ambassador. called at the
French Foreign Office to-day to protest
in the name Of his Government against
the ultimatum delivered to Gen. Won
Hoefer, head of the German defence
troops in Upper Silesia, by the Inter-
allied Commission there, demanding that
the German troops be withdrawn.
Foreign Office officials remarked that
this action on the part Of the German
Government was tantamount to recogni-
ton by 1t of Gen. Won Hoefer. DR..
Mayer was asked by the officials IL he
desired 1t to be understood that his
Government approved Gen. Won Hoefer.
The British Government, according to
information received here to-day. has
notified the German Government that
the allied forces In Upper Silesia will
soon be sufficient In number to suppress
the disorders in that region.
The German proposals to relieve the
British troops. therefore. the notification
said, were unnecessary and would tend
to augment. rather than to diminish the
difficulties of the present situation.
A Berlin despatch of May quoted
the then German Chancellor. DR.. Fehren-
bach, as asserting that the German Gov
ernment had requested the Allies to re-
enforce the troops in Silesia so that the
revolt there might be suppressed and or
der restored. Germany was willing. he
added. to help bring about normal con-
ditions in the disturbed area

PARIS, June French official circles
are taking an unofficial interest in the
discussion of a Franco-British alliance
by the newspapers. They are not yet
ready to make any comment, however.
further than to say that France always
is ready to consider in the friendliest
spirit any proposition looking toward a
continuance and intensification Of the
good feeling between France and
Great Britain. which has suffered lat
terly from the difficulties attending the
discussion of questions in which the in
terests OF the two countries have d.
verged.
The French press is somewhat divided
as TO whether the possibility Is present
ing itself for closer accord with Great
Britain. So far as 1t Is possible to
judge. public opinion welcomes the suy-

France final and complete security from

GREEN GRASS AND CURED
HAY VARY GREATLY IN VALUE
Cattle VIII Gain on Grass in Summer
Hut all to Show Gain When Win
tered on Hay Unless Fed Some
Protein

Agricultural College Notes
4 big problem Of the Colorado
range man has been TO keep up the
normal growth Of his cattle while
carrying them thru the winter. Dur
ing the summer the cattle generally
make good gains on grass alone, but
when they are fed hay thru the win
ter their growth apparently ceases
and although they may put on con-
siderable fat, they come out onto
grass next year undcrsized and stunt
ed.
As the hay fed has been made
from the same grass that gave such
satisfactory gains during the summer
il is at first hard TO figure why such
poor results are secured during the
winter.
The trouble, however. is caused by
the different nutritive value of the
green, growing grass and cured hay.
The green. growing grass furnishes
ample protein for bone and muscle
growth in the animal, while the pro-
tcin content is so low in the maturcd
hay that when il is fed alone, ordin-
ary growth does not take place. There
fore. for best results. some proteins
must be fed with the native hay thru
the winter
Protein in concentrated form is gen
orally most desirable. Cottonseed
cake or linseed oil cake or meal con-
tain excellent protein. They are usu-
ally fed at the rate of from u to ! y
pounds per head daily. Linseed oil
cake is laxative in nature, while cot
tonsced cake has the opposite effect,
and for this reason is fed to older ami
mails. Some succulent feed should be
fed with cottonseed cake for the best
results, so says f. J. Manyard of the
Agricultural College Mt Fort Collins.
A good growing ration fed during
the winter will mean cattle marketed
year ahead of the present time, and
at practically the same weight.

Speaking of a recent article in the
Sews-Champion concerning the failure
of plants and shrubs on the wst side
of fence or building and sheltered
from the morning sun to do we'll, Mrs.
C. G. Miller of Pitkin relates that this
is exactly her experience. A number
of Towering garden plants were so
placed this summer and never bios
somed at all, while exactly similar
plants in the open did very well. The
point is, they must have the morning
sun. News-Champion questions, how
ever, whether this applies to such
plants as pansies, lilies Of the valley
and columbines which enjoy more
shady places and cooler weather, and
in the case Of peonies which ordinari-
ly blossom in June, it might delay
the blossoms for month or SO and
do no harm. Mrs. Miller came down
Wednesday from Pitkin for a short
stay with Gunnison friends.
