features of the program. Mr.. Adair is
a pioneer rancher, having been n prac-
teal farmer for II years, and from ex.
perience and well established precedence
he believes that cover crops do increase
duction-sometimes as much as 100

over the world. His observations that
the immense crops in foreign lands are
due to cover srops, supported Mr.. Adairs
remarks.

dorse the cow testing association to

CONSTANTINOrLE, Sept. 30.-..With
British and Turks on the verge of war
in the neutral zone, General Harrington,
british commander chief, dispatched
a new demaud TO Mustapha Kemal TO-
dav that he evacuate the Chanak area.
1t was understood that no time limit
was set.
The dispatch of the fresh ultimatum
followed the receipt of an ultimatum
from Kenal in which he demanded that
the British evaeuate the Asiatie side of
the straits.
Kemal's note was considered decid-
edly hostile.
One high British official stated that
the note had closed the door to peace
The allies are also in receipt of ke-
NAL s acceptance Of the invitation to
meet in Il preliminary peace parley al
Murania.
This note was hostile in tone and
demanded that both eastern and western
Thrace be evacuated at once and turn
ed over to the Turks.
In making this demand, Kemal ag-
gravates to greater degree the already
tense situation. In the allied peace
proposal dispatched a week ago, Kemal
was promised eastern Thrace as far as
the Maritza river. Thus Kemal not
only wants the portion promised but
demands the western section also.
The fact that this is the last day
for the evacuation Of two hundred thou
sand, Christians in Asia Minor, added
TO the gravity of the situation.

Eastern peace will be discussed, it was

mand of the leader of the Turkish
nationalists that Great Britain with

will be met by firm refusal, it was
unofficially stated.
Kemal, who made the counter demand
when the British ordered him to with
draw from the neutral zone was de-
scribed by officials as defiant. -
The gravity of the situation was
brought home to the public by large
headlines in the conservative press
stating that Great Britain was on "thc
