II. Discing land upon which a
corr crop has been raised and kept
free from weeds is as good prepara-
ton for the succeeding grain crops
as blowing the same land.
Probably the most important of
these conclusions in No. 7, regarding
the prevention of growth of weeds
and its comparison with other results
with cultivation.
This county is badly infested with
noxious weeds and the infestation
has become ors year by year. The
farm problem in order to be a sue
cess viii have to be carried out gen
orally on a smaller plan with enough
summer tillage to control these pests.
When this plan is realized and adopt
ed by all the farmers and not just a
few as in present conditions, farm
ing will be put on q different basis.
1t is a long route but a sure one.
The average rainfall during the
growing season of the last 36 years
from April to August was 81 inches.
This is enough precipitation if fairly
evenly distributed to guarantee a
good crop.
The fact has been proven that
summer tillage is properly APP
Piled, the ground kept clean, and the
weeds kept from sapping all the mois-
and nutriment from the soil a
good crop is the inevitable result.
In 1920 the precipitation for May,
June. July and August was about AZ
inches and several farmers had yields
# wheat running as high as 20 bu.
Der acre, but in no case were there
ligh yields where there was a large
.onnage Of Russian thistles.
Another thing we are facing and
hat is the control of insects and
tests. Unless conditions are unfa-
.orable for the reproduction of insect
ife, especially grasshoppers, from
low Until their growing season we

The only artificial control of these
Insects is by poisoning and by me
hanical devices to catch the hoppers.
SO with all these natural conditions
are with US, estimate the situa-
ion and plan your farming accord

THE PLACE TO LIVE

There's a town called Don't-You-
Worry,
On the banks of the River Smile,
Where the Cheer-up and Be-Happy
Blossom sweetly all the while.
Where the Never Grumble flowers
Bloom beside the fragrant Try,
And the Ne'r-Give-Up and Patience
Point their faces to the sky.
IN the valley of Contentment,
In the province of I-Will,
lou viii find the lovely city,
At the foot of No-fret hill.
There are thoroughfares delightful
In this very charming town,
And on every hand are shade trees
Named the V%ery-Seldom Frown.

CONTENTS OF NEW NOTE TO BIER. LIN IS NOT MADE
 PUBLIC.
MONEY AVAILABLE IN GOLD
Germans Failure To Pay Is Consider ed a Violation of the Treaty of Versailles-Reparation Com.
 mission Meets.

Paris.-The Preparation Commission has considered the German statement regarding the non-payment of the |. ooo,0 100000 gold marks today. the date liked by the allies for payment and is forwarding communication to the German government, says an official announcement. This communication Will be delivered in Berlin at once.
 The action of the allies, provided satisfaction is not given by the Ger. man government, is expected to be an extension of the penalties already ap- piled, by the occupation of further ter rltory east of the Rhine or of some German port. It is not thought likely that the allies will take into considera- ton the German proposals referring to the estimated value of the payments already made by them.
 The incident is regarded here as not changing the situation between the Germans and the allies, as viola tions of the treaty in other respects are regarded as justifying the applica. ton of all penalties provided for under the treaty. This, however, is the first specific refusal of the Germans to exc cute provision of the treaty within the time limit fixed by the treaty.
 The German note insists that the 20,00O, 100000 marks which the peace treaty provided should be handed over by May has been more than paid.
 The note asks that joint commis- sion of experts fix the value of the German deliveries on reparations ac- count but it declares chat in any event it would be impossible to pay 12,000,000,000 marks by the first oF May.
 The note concludes as follows:
 If, after the experts have con- ferred, it is established that there is a deficit in the payments by Germany she is ready to begin negotiations with the Preparation Commission regarding the floating of loan abroad
 The Preparation Commission met to consider the Gern an reply which was transmitted from Berlin recently.
 The Germans failure to pay is con- sidered a violation of the treaty of Versailles, which the commission will report to the allied governments. The allies will then determine what meas ures shall be taken.
 It is said that the German experts already have been heard by the com mission, which listened to their argu- ments before fixing the valuation of the German deliverance counted as payments against the 10000, 900 900 marks. The valuation therefore was considered final, because the treaty gives the commission sole jurisdic- tion.
