TURK STRAITS PROBLEM
PROGRESSES SLOWLY

LAUSANNE, Dec. 22-The
impression that settlement of the
problem of the Turkish Straits was
not progressing as rapidly as an
ticipated became general today as
the result of a statement issued by
the Turkish delegation. This made
it clear that the decision to ap-
point an international commission
OF control depended upon the ac-
ceptance of certain demands made
by the Turks.

Center was opened to the pub
lie and dedicated with impressive
exercises Thursday afternoon.
The beautiful new chapel was
filled to capacity at 2 O'Clock when
the formal program of the occasion
was presented. On the stage were
President Elmer A. Darling, Prin-
cipal o. d. Mathewson, Former

Norris, G. NJ. Campbell, J. T. Glea-
son and w. n. Hubbard of Lyn-
donville, of the board of trustees.
Other members Of the board and
their guests occupied seats at the
front of the hall. Twenty of the
twenty-six members of the board
were present.
President Darling presided, and
in opening called attention TO the
fact that less than year ago
that spot was the scene of loss and
desolation. Whether the fire was
a disaster or a blessing in disguise
remained to be seen. He said that
in all the work Of reconstruction
they had had reverent regard to
the old traditions and had tried 10
merge them in the new.
The orator Of the afternoon was
Governor Mccall. His splendid

OF the board of trustees and has
always taken a lively interest in
the welfare Of the school. Mrs.
Mccall was an interested specta-
tor. She is a graduate of Lyndon
Institute, the daughter of it's first
Sumner s. Thompson.
Gov. Gates and Principal Wilson
brought the cordial greetings from
St. Johnsbury Academy. Gov.
Gates as president of its board of
trustees and Mr., Wilson as the
head of its faculty assured the In
stitute board of their hearty CO.
operation and best wishes. Gov.
Gates said his personal interest in
the school was deepened because
so many Of his warm personal |
friends were actively engaged in its
welfare. Principal Wilson con-
trasted the change in educational
surroundings today and the time
when ideal conditions were suppos-
cd to be Mark Hopkins on one
end of log and boy on the
other, or when proper education
was supposed to result only when
a teacher was on one end of
stick and the boy on the other.
Todays methods give US all ad-
of fresh air and beautiful
landscape surroundings of those
days through modern appliances
and conveniences He called at
tention to how Prof. Colby, the |
first principal of st. Johnsbuly !
Academy, was urged by the late /
Senator Morrill,, years ago, to
agricultural development
in education.

ways prided ourselves as the lead

TO DULUTH ELKS
Sir Hairy Surprised Hearers
in Speech Against. War;.

Sir Harry Lauder was the guest of
honor at the Elks' club last Saturday
at a luncheon after which he was
called upon for an address. Everyone
present expected, as he himself said,
"to hear comic man." They had
come there prepared to laugh, and
Sir Harry did tell a number of good
stories. many of them on himself,
that brought down the house,"
and created much merriment.
But they did not laugh long, for
Sir Harry proved himself to be
equally as interesting philoso-
pher as he is comedian on the
stage. He spoke for more than an
hour. holding his audience SPELL
bound, as he appealed for more
neighborliness and more friendlin ess
among peoples and nations. It was
the appeal Of master. 1t revealed
Sir Harry Lauder in a different light
than the world has learned to know
him.
Papers Were Silent.
1t is regrettable that the daily
newspapers do not give space7"now-
aGays to the speeches that touch the.
heart strings and convey such a mes
sage as was; brought to the Duluth
Elks by Sir Harry Lauder. They
seem to feel that their stories of
murder, robbery and other >outla wry
are more to be desired, by the read
ing public They wou.d follow the
public thought rather than properly
direct it. In any event what Mr..
Lauder said to the E'lks was not
printed. 1t is being carried by word
Of mouth from one to the other.
The war seems, to have transfig-
ured Mr.. Lauder. It cost him his only
son who made the supreme sacrifice
1t has affected him and he seems to
have accepted commission from
on high to do his bit, whenever and
wherever the opportunity is present
ed, to register his protest against war
and to appeal for more friendliness
and more neighborbness among .peo-
pies and, nations. H9 carries the mes:

when Wheat is Harvested

Wheat ripens in some important
producing section of the world in all
but three or four months of the year.
Even in those months minor coun-
tries are harvesting SO that the pro-
cess is practically continuous.
Cutting of winter wheat begins in
the southeastern part of the United
States about June 10. 1t continues
through most of July and is followed
by the spring wheat harvest in Aug
ust
Canada, Argentina, Australia and
India are the other prominent wheat
exporting countries whose harvest
dates it is we'll for the grower to
keep in mind. Canadian wheat ripens
in August and September or little
later than our spring wheat. By
November cutting begins in Argen-
tina and continues through Deem
Der. Australian wheat natures in
January, while India harvests in
March and April.
About two months are required to
move Argentine and Australian wheat
to Europe, where most of the sur
plus is consumed. Whenever stocks
of old wheat are well exhausted in
the southern hemisphere, European
countries must do the bulk of their
buying in North America until late

TREASURE STATE FARM AND LIVESTOCK
The Hen and the Co1U--a Good
Combination

(, Mash: Eight pounds of bran (mill
rum, four pounds of corn meal, four
pounds of pea meal, four pounds oil
wheat meal, one-fourth pound OF
powdered charcoal. To be fed in
self-feeding hoppers.
1 And all the sour (warm) milk
they would drink and no water. They
had shell, grit, bone and alfalfa. hay
for green feed. He had 1873 hens, UNI
culled For December and the first
/ days in January they averaged 121
eggs per day. These hens had cleo
trio lights, mornings. | do not have
record since, but will say that there
were times during the period reported
when it was more than 20 degrees
below zero.
Peas should not be fed to hens I'M
less there is at least some sour milk
for them. Hens do not appear to be
able to digest peas and assimilate
them when not fed sour milk It APP
pears that the Tactic acid in sour milk
serves as an assimilating agency. 1t
is always best to feed milk sour But
termilk and separator milk appear to
produce about the same results.
When both are available, it is we'll
to mix them as the buttermilk aids
in souring the sweet milk. Always
feed the milk warm in cold weather
and fairly sour. 1t is best to feed
no water if there is sufficient sour
milk. Every farmer who feeds hens
should milk enough cows to furnish
all the sour milk the hens will drink
and every man who milks cows
should feed enough hens to consume
the SKINNED milk.
Such a combination will add very
materially to the agricultural wealth
of Idaho. The combination will re-
duce the production cost of both eggs
and milk. Idaho can never expect
to be very large consuming state,
but is necessarily large producing
one. The products must be concen-
trated to reduce transportation cost
The development of the hen and the
cow industry need not interfere with
other production. They are added
agricultural assets.

4 highly concentrated food product
The slogan of the University of Idaho
and the state farm bureau for Idaho
is ''The COW, the pig and the hen. .
| believe in this slogan fully, but
suggest that milk be not wasted by
feeding to hogs. Good hens will
make more money from a hundred
pounds of sour SKINNED milk or but
termilk than the best hogs in the
world can make from a ton of it. |
appreciate the necessity for increased
swine production in Idaho, but sug-
gest that they be grown more cheap
" than by feeding them good milk.
Milk is good for hogs, but can be
more profitably fed to good hens.
Farmers by the thousand, in Idaho,
are beginning to realize the value of
this combination. The cow and the
hen have furnished the only cash in
come the past winter for thousands
of farmers.
Feeding experiments for egg pro-
duction were begun at the University
of Idaho when the department of
poultry husbandry was first estab-
lished. This work has been contin-
ued ever since. Animal food in some
form is known to be necessary for
profitable egg production. Idaho is
an inter-mountain state and freight
rates make prepared feeds of this ma
ture very expensive. There are no
large meat packing plants in the
state. The department recognized
that if the poultry industry was to
become a factor in the agricultural
of the state that it was
necessary to produce, in the state,
substitute for beef scrap and fish
meal.
Feeding tests have proven, in each
instance, that milk fed in competition
with beef scrap under like conditions,
produced the greatest profit. The
milk has always been charged to the
hens at its commercial value. There
have been times in these feeding ex-
periments when, owing to circum-
stances, it came pretty high. How
ever, it has always shown a greater
return on the investment than any
other system of feeding. There is
not room in this article to include
data.
Following is feed formula of one
Idaho farmer and partial results the /
last winter:
Scratch feed: Ten pounds of wheat,
five pounds of corn, one pound of |
peas. Feed three quarts morning
and five quarts night for each 100
hens.
