Soviets To Take Stricter
Control Over Churches

RIGA, July 27.-Russian Soviet
government officials have decided to
take stricter control over the church
es in Russia, according to Moscow
newspapers received here. A recent
number of the Isvestia says that ser
mons are to be allowed only ON the
condition that they are of strictly
religious character.
1t appears that the Soviet govern
ment, while continuing to permit re-
ligious worship, is to present rival
attractions in the church buildings
in the shape Of lectures on Com
munist doctrines.
Independent advices received in
Riga recently indicated that in some
villages in South Russia the women
and old men of the peasantry had ac
tually come to blows with the young
er and communistically-educated gen.
GRAFTON on religious subjects. Vii
lagos were divided into two camps
and in one reported instance some
casualties occurred.

CHRISTIANITY, Norway, July 27-
The officers OF the American battle
ship squadron which recently paid a
two weeks visit to this port were
very popular and were entertained
privately in Norwegian homes but
the leading newspapers of the CITY
criticised severely the conduct of
some Of the sailors while on shore
leave.
The squadron was composed Of the
Kansas, Michigan, Connecticut, South
Carolina and Minnesota, under the
command of Rear Admiral Hughes.
The Christiania newspapers pub
llshed several articles protesting be-
cause the American sailors made too
violent love to the Norwegian girls
while riding about the city IN taxi
cabs, asserting that the sailors

40 FARMERS
PASTURE MEET
Pastures On Wise, Bell
And Oliver & Barrow
Places Visited

Paul Tabor, J. F. Jackson and R.
F. Winslow, constituted a party of
visitors here yesterday in the interest
of developing the cattle industry in
Sumter county. Tabor, represen-
tative Of the State College of Agri-
culture s. Athens. visited three farms
in GmGpany with the others, where
he made addresses upon the value of
fl4l3Uus pasture grasses most adapt
atde for growing III this section.
Farms visited were those of Oliver
\ Barrow in the 23th district, and
Sam ?. Wise and Thomas l.. Bell in
me 18th district.
AT the Oliver g. Barrow pasture
MAS shown a 15-year-old pasture,
@gToWn naturally, without cultivation
Of any kind, This pasture is filled
with tespeaeaa and carpet grass and
dallis grass, which provides contin-
uous grazing throughout the year.
Specimens of these grasses were
collected by Tabor. Jackson and
Wihslow and displayed to the As far
mers present, the value of each be
ing separately explained. George O.
Marshall, county farm demonstration
agent, who arranged the trip, accom-
panied the party and assisted in the
demonstration. All of the farmers
present are engaged in the cattle in
dustry, and many of them 'are grow
ing permanent pastures.

who accompanied the party of Geor-
gians on a farm inspection tour,
through Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Ken

seen during his trip, which includ-
ed visits to many prize cattle farms
OF the Middle West.
Marshall had invited 200 farmers
to attend, but many of these were
prevented from being present by the
necessity of doing field work as a
result Of the recent rainy weather.

other herds are going by train.
