Things To Do on The Farm
in April

April is busy month for farmers Il
Tennessee. II is planting time TO
many crops and the farmer who hai
spent most of the time during the win.
ter months 10 making plans and gettinl
everything about the place in readiness
for this period will find that things ruI
much more smoothly than the farmel
who has put everything off until th'
last minute,
The following activities for the opera
ions in the field. with livestock, etti
are suggested by specialists of.the Di
vision Of Extension: /.
IN THE FIELD
Plant silsge'crops near the silo to re-
duce the haul. You need two fields,
one for corn and sorghum, and the Other
for barley followed by Crimson clover,
Alternate these crops on the two fields.
Plant corn little thicker than you
would fol- grain growing End add 8 to
pounds of sorghum per acre in the same
row. As soon as silage is cut, SOW
barley. Work the other field thoroly
and SOW Crimson clover to be pastured
and turned under in preparation for
silage crop next spring.
WITH LIVESTOCK
Use self feeders for fa tening hogs in
Crimson clover field. If buying feed
for work stock. remember l pound
whole corn is worth little more than !
pound Of whole Data. To cheapen ra
tioh and secure better results feed work
horses and mules pounds cottonsee1
meal per head daily with other grain,
Gsuge the cotton seed meal ration OF
steers by the trend of the market.
Craze grass lightly if at all; give dry
feed 10 addition. Feed dairy cows some
dry feed until pastures are good
Watch the market for fat stock, as
April is often the high point. Change
of sheep from dry roughage to pastue
should be veiy gradual.
CLUB WORK
A good ration for young pigs is equa
parts of corn and wheat middlings with
skim milk. Dairy calves and purebrec
beef calves may be fed ration of
parts cracked corn. l part wheat mid
dlings and l part cracked oats. Be-
club members begin work with ons
more colonies of bees In frame hive,
and two extra supers for each colvny
Purebred queens are profitable. Clubs
should continue meeting twice a month
after school closes. Set out tomato
plants.
FARM ENGINEERING
Keep the pillow going and plow deep
Use cultipacker IL the seed bed il
cloddy. Make dipping vat for lie,
and ticks. Drag the roads after every
rain. Investigate farm truck. Sav,
labor by using gang plow. Get goot
lime .spreader. Keep tractor goini
early and late with plenty OF water sns
oil. Keep plow points sharp.
urArru u,nro
Screen your homes. Cut down your
meat diet by increasing vegetables and
fruits. Plan for balanced ration
Since warm weather is approaching gei
the oil stove In readiness and make ,
fireless cooker II you have not one.

Wells on Washington
New York, Dec. II, 1921.
To the Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: II. G. Wells is attending the
Washington conference as an observer
and to write for our information about
the members and the debates which
clarity opinion and lead to agreement.
In his widely read Outline of His
tory" to fill in the outline of United
States history he speaks necessarily of
George Washington. There was no man
whose life is so open to the student,
no man in our existence as a nation
more active snd Industrious in public
affairs and private interests. Yet in
Wells's book, Volume 2, Chapter 81,
Paragraph 6, he says that Washington
was "a man Of conspicuous Incidence"
not that he enjoyed periods of we'll
earned leisure, but that he was in
dolent, conspicuously SO. We know
that this is not true. Would a person
competent to judge men and write his
tory say it7 w. H. D.

The internally Debt
Reasons Advanced for Partial Can
collation. by America
70 the Editor Of The Tribune.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: The foreign debt situation
brings to mind the warning Of old
Polonius: "a loan oft loseth both It,
self and friend" American statesmen
seem to think that we have only to give
our debtors plenty Of time. On the
other hand, some foreigners, whose
backs already are breaking under heavy
taxation, think that the debts to US
have been largely or wholly Offset and
that we ought to agree to cancellation,
at least to some extent. Herein lies
danger to international good will.
We cannot get any money from
Europe and we should not expect any.
The debts originated in our lending
money, but with the understanding that
it should be spent here. 1t was so
spent for food, clothing, weapons, am
munition. No money left our shores
and there is mono to come back. If
foreigners pay up it would have TO be
through the sale Of their goods in our
markets. What economic disturbance
would result from a flood of foreign
goods!
An important point is that in pre-
serving our neutrality we loaned moth
ing until after we had entered the war
ourselves. All our loans were to our
allies and to enable them to fight in our
interest as we'll as in their own. In the
eyes Of those who had already suffered
for thirty-two months the incalculable
losses of blood and treasure in the
worst of all wars, America, coming into
the fray without any preparation, ought
to have been willing to contribute
money freely rather than merely to
lend it.
We should remember, too, that our
delay in declaring war made period of
tremendous profit to our people. They
sold vast quantities Of goods to our
war stricken friends and at very high
prces. We drew from Europe all Of its
loose gold, then we drew the American
securities which happened to be owned
there, and then we drew European
bonds and became the one great
creditor nation in all the world.
From every point Of view the inter
Allied debt situation demands study, not
to find out how much we can possibly
collect but how much Of what is owing
to us we ought voluntarily to wipe out
Surely VIC are not entitled to any
thing at all from countries which were
devastated by German armies while we
were pocketing huge profits.
Americas great deeds in the last
year of the war do not warrant the
ignoring Of the earlier period.

The Jitney Traffic Remedy

If low fares plus increased eff
cheney could be secured by replacing
the surface cars with jitney busses
the public would approve the change
But in spite Of Mr.. Hylan's advocacy
of busses all the indications are that
they would bring only increased con-
fusion and higher fares.
Apparently no figures as to the
actual cost of the present bus lines
equipment and operation are
available. But Mr.. Shearn, counsel
for the Transit Commission, esti-
mates that the purchase Of enough
buses to carry the normal traffic Of
one billion passengers year would
require $75,O00,00O. Furthermore,
the junking of the surface lines pro-
posed by the Mayor would cost $780,
100000. This would make the jitney
business a pretty expensive enter
prise right from the start.
Lines that are run at loss will
not be run for long. Therefore it
is necessary to secure the sort of
transportation whose permanence
can be assured by it's profitable opcr-
alton.
How to do this is something that
the Transit Commission is patiently
seeking to discover. Mr.. Shearn, it's
counsel, long an advocate Of public
ownership, can be acquitted of any
prejudice in favor of the established
transit lines. He seems persuaded
already that the jitney scheme is not
workable. John A. Ritchie, presi-
dent of the company that operates
the Fifth Avenue busses, told the
commission that it costs the COM
pany 8.4 cents to carry every pas
senger. The fare charged is 10
cents. At Scent fare the COM
pany would have had deficit last
year Of $1,30o,o0o.
Wherever jitneys have been sue
cessfully operated at lower fare
than 10 cents they have served only
as feeders for surface, elevated or
subway lines. In suburban districts,
where there is no traffic congestion,
they do very well. To operate them
in the crowded streets on Manhattan
Island would be both difficult and
troublesome, as any one who has
ridden through town in touring
car or taxi can testify.
What is needed just now is some
method of reducing or diverting the
automobile traffic, not of increasing
it by the addition Of hundreds of
cumbersome busses. There is no dis
position on the part Of the public to
reject any suggested remedy merely

Alaska S Forests
Opposition to Transfer to Interior
Department

OppOS1tlon 10 transfer 10 interior
Department
To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: 1t was indeed a pleasure to read
your editorial supporting the wise pol
icy of utilizing but not devastating the
Alaskan forests. These forests contain
enough timber to supply annually
100000 tons Of paper, or about half
the requirements Of the United States,
without depletion. This represents
the interest on the forest capital
owned by the United States, and can
be secured in perpetuity if the income
is utilized and the capital is kept in
tact.
The Department of Agriculture,
through the Forest Service, is develop
ing the forests Of Alaska on sound
forestry principles. It provides for
cutting the present mature crop of
timber and producing future crops. 1t
is managing tho forests efficiently and
in the best interests of the local COM
munities and Of the country as whole.
But there is a movement on foot TO
undo the work of the Department Of
Agriculture by transferring these for
ests to the Interior Department. This
is one Of the provisions Of a Bills.
2382-now before the Senate Commit
tee on Territories and Insular Posses
sions. sincerely hope that every one
interested in the permanent and wise
utilization Of the Alaskan forests under
skilled and experienced management
will write to the chairman of the above
mentioned committee urging that the
provision in S. 1882 taking the forests
from the Department of Agriculture be
stricken from the bill.

After Bolshevim Is Attained

Paxton Hibben, who recently COM
pleted a 5,750-mile tour of European
Russia, estimates that three million
Russians are doomed to die of starva-
tion in Russia in spite of all the
American Relief Administration can
do. He adds, however, that the help
given will make it possible to save
twelve million who otherwise would
perish.
A good deal Of loose talk about
going Bolshevist is heard. This or
that country is about to be attacked
by Bolshevism if something is not
done. But the conversation seldom
goes so far as to discuss what occurs
after the Elysium is reached. Boil
shevism is spoken of as if it were a
tinality. But time and events do not
stop, and what happens following an
arrival at Bolshevism is indicated
sadly by Mr.. Hibben Heavy were

than the price she has paid for listen
ing to such as Lenine. If the outside
world had been practically friendly
to Russia it would have brought Boil
shevism to quick close when there
was a chance. The French policy
was the right one.
Captain Hibben thinks the worlds
unemployment problem will be solved
when Russia once more is fully ops~
to trade. 1t is not perhaps we'll to
cherish lively hopes. Russia has lit
tie to sell and has not wherewith to
buy. How, under such circum-
stances, are large scale exchanges
possible?
No, it will take years for Russia
to recover from the economic effects
of applying communist principles, nc
matter what element is in political
leadership. 1t is easy to destroy, but
it takes long to rebuild.

The Judge With Two Jobs

Were a grave and reverend iurist
Of the type of William H. Taft to
step down from the bench every day
or two to settle a row between
baseball players and baseball man
ayers the public would be properly
scandalized. Mr.. Taft couldn't drag
his robes over the diamond without
losing something of the veneration
generally accorded him.
But Judge Kenesaw Mountain
Lands is a different sort of Judge.
We make this statement without a
shadow of contempt. Since his eleva-
tion to the bench he has been an
individualist rather than stickler
for convention. He interprets the
law for others and makes it for HIM
self. Furthermore, he gets away
with it.
For the second time bill has been
introduced in Congress whose pur-
pose is to send the judge back to
the bench and keep him there. Yet
nobody seems enthusiastic about it's
passage. The fact is that the judge
has done good deal to purge base
ball of some of its unpleasant fea-
lures. The boys in the ball yards
regard him with awe. What he says
goes. And baseball, when he took
its general management over, needed
lot of cleaning up.
W. feel sure that if Judge Lands
were deprived Of his title and ex-
'slted vocation he would lose prestige
with the somewhat uncultivated per-
sons he now rules so successfully.
To them the law is a fearsome
enough thing when administered by
a police officer. When handed down
to them directly from the bench it is
overpowering.
Congress may we'll let Judge

A Building Armisticc
If all parties concerned accept

If all parties concerned accept the
suggestion Of the board of governors
of the Building Trades Council that
the present wage scale be continued
for sixty days New York City is
likely to enjoy peace in the building
business for the entire year. 1t is
the best method yet offered Of avert
ing disastrous strike Of $4,000
workingmen in various building
lines.
Tho proposal is that board Of
arbitration be composed of members
appointed by the presidents of the
American Federation of Labor, Of
the Chamber of Commerce of the
State Of New York, Of the Mer-
chants Association and of the New
York Chapter of the American In
stitute Of Architects, and fifty men,
bers to be appointed by the Gov
ernor. No employing builder is to
be on the board. This body could
deal with such diaoutes as might
arise in minor nns~vers, leaving
wages as they are for another sixty
days.
Building begets building. Build
ing booms are epidemic. If opera
tions are continued on large scale,
as they will be under this arrange
ment, the house shortage soon will
be taken care of. Also, there will
be an increased demand for labor,
which will tend to adjust the wage
scale satisfactorily.
1t is to the credit Of the Building
Trades Council that it put forward
this plan. 1t is conclliatory in it's
purpose, and will result in benefit
all around if it is accepted. If it is
rejected and the strike takes place,
building is going to suffer setback
which viii cost millions Of dollars to

ARTICLE I


"The high contracting parties agree
as between themselves to respect
their rights In relation to their insu-
lar possessions and insular domin-
ions in the regions Of the Pacific
Ocean"
The grammar of the article is de-
fective. Its phraseology isn't very
happy. Yet what does it mean? A
common-sense Interpretation Of it
would seem to be that each power
binds itself to respect the rights Of
the other three powers in relation to
insular possessions and insular do
minions acquired in Pacific waters.
France has Pacific colonies. Great
Britain has self-governing domin
ions, colonies and mandate territory
assigned to the United Kingdom and
to the self-governing dominions. The
United States has territory, Ha
waii; a dependency, the Philippines,
and minor possessions like Guam,
Wake Island, Midway Island and
Tutuila. Japan has Formosa, the
Pescadores, the Kuriles, Saghalin
and the mandated German islands
north Of the equator.
1t is said by some that the Jap
anese homeland is included in the
phrase "insular possessions and in
sular dominions" because Japan
consists in the main of islands.
Japan clearly has insular posses
sions and dominions in the Pacific.
But is Japan the holder of these
possessions at the same time an Gin
sular possession" Of Japan. the
treaty signatory?
A reasonable reading would put
the four powers on the same basis,
a distinction being drawn in each
case between the holder and the
holdings. A distinction Of this sort
is made in the proposed agreement
as to insular fortihcation. Japan
proper" as the communique puts it,,
is not affected by the status Qato re-
striction. Neither are Australia and
New Zealand, self-governing domin-
ions and signatories, nor Hawaii,
which as a territory is already a
half-sister in our union of states.
Great Britain, France, Japan and
the United States are all Pacific
powers. Can Japan be put in spe-
cial category because the seat Of her
sovereignty happens to be in a Pa
cific island?

crs of s'Thc Times" Yet it wasn't
corrected. Mr.. Tumulty now en-
balms 1t in his book.
Colonel Roosevelt in the first
weeks of the war accepted the Will
son policy of neutrality. But as
tho implications Of that policy
became clearer especially after
the German submarine blockade
declaration and the sinking of the
Lusitania and other unarmed pas
scnger ships-~he turned vehemently
against it, as did millions Of other
indignant Americans. What can
Mr.. Creel and Mr.. Tumulty hope
to accomplish by pcrverting the
record?

The Careless Pedestrian

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Your editorial Don't Blams
the Autos" appealed to ME particularly
because it states both sides Of the
question. For some reason newspapers
and legislators and even the courts
seem usually to ignore the responsible
ity of the pedestrian.
The Police Department, under for-
mer Commissioner Arthur Woods, found
that 80 per cent Of the accidents are
due to carelessness Of pedestrians
Commissioner Enright has testified be-
fore a traffic committee that rs per
cent Of the accidents are due to the
carelessness of pedestrians.
To reduce accidents it is necessary
that a campaign of education be ear
ried on instructing pedestrians thai
they must use more care. The City OF
Buffalo year ago last summer carried
on regular police campaign againss

The Tribune to Move

(Frons Tho Brooklyn Daily EaoIe)
The rapidly increasing requirements
for the publication of great newspapers
are emphasized by the announcement in
The New York Tribune that it will
build for itself all adequate new home
on Fortieth Street, between Seventh
and Eighth avenues, and will move to
it in little more than year.
The Tribune has been published at
the corner Of Spruce Street and Park
Row for eighty years-it is just few
months older than "The Eagle"-and
in the journalism, the politics and the
intelligence of the country. When Hor-
ace Greeley started it and wrote his
copy on board laid across two barrels
there were twelve daily newspapers in
the city. Newspapers were not then
great commercial enterprises but Of
ten the personal venture of some man
who wanted to write and who ran the
business end Of the paper from hand
to mouth. But The Tribune, as the
champion Of the Wings and later the
Republican party, attained to ma
tional reputation and following which
made Horace Greeley great political
force for the last twenty years of his
life.
But the building which The Tribune
is now to abandon has history also
In the '70s there was not a single
tower, except on churches, in the City
Of New York. When Whitelaw Reid
shot up the then new Tribune Building
for thirteen stories Charles A. Dana
called him "the young man in the tall
tower" and the Tribune tower became
as much an object Of interest to sight
seers as the Woolworth tower is to-
day. That was before the days of
skeleton frames of steel, and good
deal of valuable rental space in the
Tribune Building is lost through the
thick walls of the lower story, needed
to sustain a weight at that time with
out precedent. OF course, with 80
costly an undertaking, provision was
made for every development of the
newspaper which could be foreseen;
yet to-day The Tribune will move be-
cause the contracted space for its
mechanical department. limits its size
to twentyfour pages. In Fortieth
Street it will find room according to
its strength. An uptown location also
1,,t1 L
railway stations and facilitate its de-
livery outside the city. Its move is
part Of the strong uptown trend, bu,
there is no institution whose departure
would lend 80 much emphasis to that
change.
