To Save lives. ~
Mr.. Brown confined his remarks 70
formal words of thanks and the ex-l
preston Of the hope that the agree
ment would result in the saving OF
lives
Russia Is, by the terms Of the con-
tract. made the beneficiary Of a. far
reaching program which includes not
the famine stricken volsa region but
the combating of epidemics. Tho
task of preventing the outbreak OF
contagious diseases among the fugi-
tive thousands who have fled from
their homes. is considered great.
Cholera has appeared in various dis
tricts and there is in many places
danger of epidemics such as have in
the past swept away victims and
reached distant parts Of the conti-
nent.
Order Food Shipped.
1t is understood orders have all
ready gone to Hamburg. Danzig and
New York directing that relief ships
be loaded with food and medicines
for Russia. Actual work In Russia
may possibly commence in a little
more than a week. :s
Political and commercial activities
will be outside the realm Of the
workers duties and any violation OF
this clause of the agreement may be
cause for expulsion from Ruszia up-
on proofs being submitted to the di-
rectors Of the relief work. All Anaeri-
cans engaged in feeding and caring
for the famine sufferers will enjoy
diplomatic rights. q.

Dublin, Aug. 20. (By the Associat-

sions of various sub-committees Of
the Dali, Eireann, which we're re-

Irish political quarters here did not
appear today to regard Mr.. Lloyd
Georges speech as anything in the
nature of a ';rattling of the sabre"
The prime minister, in their view,
had left several openings Tor further
negotiations.
Dublin. Aug. 2O.-Leaders Of the
Irish republican parliament were e9x- 9
pected to confer with Eamonn de
Valera today at Black Rock, where he
is spending the week end at the home
of professor John MacNeill, speaker.
There has been a growing tension
here during the last couple Of days
and Dublin castle authorities have
given expression Of their fear that
fighting might possibly be precipf-
tated by extremists on either side.
Only incidents of a minor nature have
occurred, however, and it Is hoped
that a violation OF the truce estab-
tished last month may be averted.

BADGER FARMERS
FEED THEIR SOILS
Results Justify Liberal Use of
Lime, Which Corrects Acid
Condition.

Soils, as well as men, may be in
disposed.
When you see a field which, year
after year refuses to grow good
stands of clover or alfalfa, it will be
entirely safe to lay at least part OF
the blame on something or some one
else than the dealer who sold the
iced.
1t will take but little time, labor or
money to find out whether on not you
are right in concluding that the soil is
acid and needs lime in one form or an
other.
Soils, as you know, are made up
Of great many different substances.
But these can be divided into two
great classes: acid substances and
basic substances. Common vinegar.
muriatic acid, acid phosphate are all
acid substances, burnt lime and caus-
tic potash are basic substances.
Nature Has Best Way.
When acid and bf sic substances are
mixed they always join together and
form new substances that are neither
acid nor basic, but are called neutral.
In most new soilg nature has COM
bined these acid and basic substances
to form neutral substances.
In the cropping of soils the basic
substances are used and leached away
by the rain water much more rapidly
than are the acids. This results in an
over supply of acids, and then, of
course, the soils are acid. This is the
main reason why upland soils become
acid. Marsh soils become sour large
ly because the rotting organic mat
ter forms too much acid.

FARM POINTERS

Make use of all logs and trash in
burning dead stumps.
Land seeded during August will
make better crop than spring seed
ing.
Kill the old ROSTERS now to make
room for young. pure bred cockerels
later.
One good cow is worth three poor
ones and sometimes shows more net
profit than a whole herd.
Start right by cutting all brush
and small trees close to the ground.
Use them to burn out dead stumps.
Crowd the pigs. One days growth
now is better than three days during
the winter, unless you have very
good place for the pigs.
Haul out all manure and spread
evenly on the land where it will do
the most good. 1t helps to keep the
land seeded when sowed on meadows.
Level land free from stumps, is
worth more for hay than rough land
stumps and level the land work up a
good seed bed and SOW to clover and
timothy.
Rye is a good crop to raise here.
Seed now as soon as you can get the
ground ready and sow grass with it.
Very often a good hay crop can be
cut in the fall after crop of rye has
been removed.
Grow your hay and buy your grain
until you get a good, big patch cleared
on your farm. Later you can grow
the grain and fodder you need, but
hay pays the biggest net profit of any
crop grown here.
Try fall feeding of grain or bran
if your pastures are thin. The milk
flow should show a profit at present
prices of grain and milk and your
cows will go into the winter in better
shape if they are kept in good cOndi-
fion through the fall season.

BUILDS fine HOME
BY D|L|GENT WORK
WHY FARM LOANS
ARE HARD TO GET

T. C. Jones says that farm loans
are hard to get for the reason that
they are taxed so much that they do
not pay the big investor as well as
municipal bonds and like securities
which are tax free or partially tax
free. There are around thirty billion
dollars worth of, these tax-free secur-
tiles in the United States says Mr.
Jones.
The Farm Bureau is fighting to get
all bonds and loans taxed alike and
they are strong enough in numbers
to make their wants known in con-
gress.
