MANDATE QUESTION
IN CABLE TANGLE
Objection of Japan to Use Of
Island of zap Believed to
Hinge on This.

Final disposition of the German ca
bles seized by Great Britain. France
and Japan during the world war has
become interviewer with the larger
question of the status of the various
mandates assumed by or proposed to
be granted to the allied powers.
One of the parties to the negotia-
lions between the allied and associat-
ed governments concerning the cables
said yesterday that the Japanese gov
eminent probably would not have Of
fered objection to the American pro-
posal to make the Island Of zap avail
able for cable and communication
uses to all nations on an equal foot
decision would not affect the validity
of the Japanese claim to an exclusive
mandate over that former German is
land.
No British Instructions.
The international communications
conference here has been considering
the possibility of compromising the
positions of the various parties to the
conference by separating the cable
question from that concerning man
dates. There will be further discus
sion on that subject when the con-
ference resumes it's sessions Monday.
1t is understood that the British
ueleSdte 10 the conference sui is
without final instructions from his
government. 1t is the absence of
these instructions which has caused
postponement of the sessions. 1t is
explained that the pressure of other
matters of great Importance. such as
the reassembling of parliament. the
Irish question, and the settlement of
the reparations issues. has prevented
the British government from goving
to the report of it's exports who at
tended the first sessions of the con-
ference that study which is deemed
necessary before a final decision can
be reached.

TIMELY REMEDIES OUTLINED
Ten Times as Many Pigs Lost in First

(By J. 3. RICEl

While We usually figure the profits
and losses in raising hogs from the
tine Of weaving to marketing, there
Is chance to make some difference
in the cost of production up To the
time the pigs are taken from the SOW.
Cholera causes a greater financial
loss than any other disease, but about
ten times as many pigs are lost in the
first two months after narrowing than

heard of s'lch cases. These stories
usually are not told in a "nonbrag-
ging" way. That is why we hear of
such records. The man who raises
three pigs per sow seldom remembers
much about the record or very firmly
establishes the fact in the minds of
his neighbOrs. The normal farrow of
sow is seven to nine pigs. About 10
per cent of these either are dead
when they come or die during the first
"a hours. Then, due to various causes
during the first week or ten days, as
many more die or are killed; and by
the time the pigs are two months old,

UNIFORM PRODUCTS FAVORED
Find Better Market, Bring Higher
Prices and Are Handled at Less
Expense Than Others.

Without uniform standards for farm
produce there is no recognized basis
for the business of buying and selling,
says the bureau of markets, United
States Department of Agriculture.
Standardization of products gives
seller and purchaser a common Ian
guage and set quality upon which
prices may ne compared and fixed Ex-
perience has shown that the products
which are sold by grade find better
market, bring letter prices, and can be
handled at less expense than thosNs sold
without reference to standards. Stand
ards have already been fixed for many
farm commodities. such as American
Upland cotton, shelled corn, wheat,
oats, and for small fruit containers.
These Federal standards apply only
when the product is intended for In
terstate or foreign ceSmerce 1t Is
highly important to secure state co
operation so that the provisions that
apply to few products will apply to
all that are offered for sale.

WHITE ANTS INJURE TlMBERs
Insects Enter Wood Wherever II Comes
in Contact With Damp Earth
and Eat Into Beams.

Winged white ants are often oh
served flying about houses in spring,
and are sometimes supposed to have
come in from outside. The bureau OF
entomology Of the United States De-
partment Of Agriculture explains that
these winged insects really are hatched
inside the buildings, and usually are
to be taken as indicating nests Of
wingless white ants working destI ue-
tion in the timbers.
These insects, which really are NOT
properly ants, enter the wood wher-
ever 1t comes in contact with damp
earth, and often eat into the center II
an upright beam without manifesting
their presence on the outside until the
wood is entirely ruined, and possibly
settling and cracking of the build
ing has resulted.
The department urges that build
ings be constructed with such founda-
tons that no wood touches the ground,
or IL it Is necessary to use wood, that
1t be impregnated with tar creOsOte.
Concrete floors should be laid on q
gravel base to prevent dampness and
cracking, and where cracks occur they
should be promptly filed.

MANURE is BEST FERTILIZER
Contains Plenty Of Humus and All
Other Necessary Plant Foods
Add Acid Phosphate.

The home gardener who can get a
load of well-rotted stable manure need
not worry about fertilizer, anyone who
has ever done any gardening is well
aware.
Manure contains humus in plenty
and all the necessary plant materials,
as well as bacteria which put these
materials into the most disable shape
for crops. To get the full benefit of
stable manure, however, it should be
balanced with acid phosphate, which
is comparatively inexpensive, garden.
ers at the Iowa state college Of agri.
culture say.
An application Of one ton of stable
manure, which Is about an average
two-horse load, is not too much for
garden 30 by 60 feet, and SO pounds
of acid phosphate may be used With It,
Fresh stable manure should not be
applied in the spring. 1t contains too
much readily available nitrogen and
may cause in some plants growth
of stems and leaves at the expense Of
fruits. This is especially true Of to-
matoeS.

and they n ay have been brooded care
fully for the first two or three weeks,
but unless they receive proper care
and management during their later
growing period they viii not develop
properly and many of tpem will be
lost by sickness and disease. This Is
the timely warning made by poultry
men of the United States Depart

tials to proper growth and develop

and girls poultry clubs.
Suitable Food and Care.
The chief essentials to the proper
growth of chicks, according to the bull
letin, are good coops, or houses, clean
illness, proper feed and water, shade
and free range. Growing chicks
should be provided with large, roomy
coc2s or houses, which will give them
a comfortable place to stay at night
and during stormy weather. The bull
letin suggests no particular kind OF
house, but states it should be so bull,

DIARY OF MUCH IMPORTANCE

UTILIZATION OF FARM LAND
Proportion of Total Area Can
Be Made Productive.

Effective utilization of farm land
means high percentage of income
producing area, say specialists of the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture. The value of farm depends
upon what proportion of its total area
is productive. Compare farm Of 100
acres at $500 an acre, 95 acres being
in shape to yield available products.
with another farm of the same acre
age at $50 an acre, but with only IS
productive acres. If all the other fea-
lures of the two farms are similar,
the former should be the most profit
able because it's profit-producing land
costs but $120 an acre against $3.50 an
acre on the second farm.
The Pioche record. [volume] (Pioche, Nev.) 1908-1925, 1921-05-06

plenty of light, pure air and sunshine,
and protect them from dampness and
storms Of all kinds.
Chicks should never be crowded In
brood coops, for crowding will cause
them to become overheated, resulting
dead chicks.
Sickness or disease usually starts
in unclean quarters, and In such
places lice and mites are always more
plentiful, the bulletin says. The coops
should be cleaned and sprayed once a
week, and clean shavings, chaff, or
sand put on the floor. Examine the
chicks and houses often for lice and
mites, and If found they should be
gotten rid of at once. Farmers Bull
letn ITO gives directions for fighting
lice and mites.
Feed Right for Rapid Growth.
The three kinds of feeds most nee
essary for rapid growth are grain
feed, green feed and dry mash. A
grain mixture should be fed night and
morning, giving as large a quantity as
the chicks will eat clean, but no more.
A good mixture for growing chicks
consists Of three parts cracked corn,
two parts wheat and two parts hulled
oats. Kafir corn or rolled or huled
barley may be substituted for hulled
cats. A supply of fresh green feed is
almost as necessary as grain for grow
ing chicks. They obtain plenty Of it
ii they have free range, but if kept In
confinement, lawn grass, beet tops,
| cabbage, lettuce or other such green
feed should be supplied regularly.
Grit and oyster shells should be pro-
vided so the chicks may help them
selves whenever they wish. When sour
milk can he obtained 1t should also
be kept before the chicks, as no feed
| Is regarded better for them. When
this is given the amount of beef scrap
in the dry mash may be reduced one
| half. Plenty Of fresh, clean water is
| absolutely necessary, and in hot
weather 1t should be provided twice
daily in dishes that have been thor
oughly cleaned.
