Many of the most successful poultry.
men feed part Of the daily grain ra'

ground grain moistened with milk OF
water, although more feed it dry. A
fowls gizzard can grind all kinds OF
grain, but it is considered more eco
nomical to have a part Of the grind
ing done by steam or water power.
However, the soft-feed idea should
not be overworked. Beginners often

for the fowl to grind the grain; but

Give what they will eat readily in Il
to 20 minutes.
Poultrymen do not agree as to the
time Of day when soft feed should be
fed. Some say it should be fed in
the morning. others at noon, and still
others at night. Many give the ground
feed in the morning, large number
at noon, and a few at night. The
number who feed at noon, however
is becoming larger. In the 4gg-laying
experiment in West Virginia report.

of Agriculture, the egg production was
practically the same whether mash
was fed in the morning or at night.

ers. So, to some extent, swarmlng
may be reduced by careful selection
in breeding.
Colonies having large brood-cham-
bers are less inclined to swarm than
those in quarters too small. Strong
colonies having good queens may need
10000 to 10000 cells for rearing of
brood, during the period Of extensive
brood-rearing in the spring, in add.
tion to the cells used for storing honey
and pollen. Colonies having good
combs throughout are less inclined to
swarm than colonies having poor
combs. Inferior combs may greatly
increase the swarming tendency, both
by reducing the amoant of available
brood.rearing space and by acting as
barriers in the way of a free expansion
of the brOod-nest. The bulletin gives
a dozen or more swarm-preventixe
measures to be taken by bee owners.

Head Of Delegation Goes To Much

Genoa.-If the Russians DO not give
q categorical affirmative answer to
the memorandum that has been sub
mitted to them, France will not go on
with the negotiations, and if no ar.
rangement is made with the Russians
the non-aggression pact becomes i'm.
possible, NJ. Barthou, head Of the
French delegtion to the economic con.
ference and vice premier in the French
cabinet, said to the Americn and Eng
lish newspapr correspondents.
NJ Bathou himself suggested the
meeting, which proved of historic
consequence, because the French lead.
er emphasized repeatedly that France
had sided with Belgium on question
Of principle, and not because she
wishes to line herself up against
Great Britain. The vital problem is
that of protection Of the property in
Russia Of foreigners, and France be-
lieves that Belgium is nearer the
truth in treating this important Ques'
ton, he said
France, NJ. Barthou declared, desires
only to maintain always her long.
time friendship and union with Great
Britain. His first request, that ques'
tions be put to him On the status OF
the conference, met with no response,
which brought the pleasantly;
Gentlemen, your silence is not
helpful" He continued:
"Then let me say what IS in my
mind frankly and openly, and do not
forget that my words are carefully
chosen and that I speak as the CHIEF
representative of the French govern
ment. We have been here month.
Some newspapers-and I am not re"
ferring especially to American or Eng
lish-seem to doubt the sincerity OF
France, and seem to doubt the senti'
ments with which we came to Genoa
But we have collaborated in every pos
sible way. France gave proof OF ner
good will and loyalty, and continually
made concessions, so that the confer.
ence could go on.
AT the outset we had semi.offlclal
conversations with the Russians at
Mr.. Lloyd Georges villa, and my attl'
tude was approved by the French gov.
ernment Then came the sensational
disclosure of the Russo-German sepa'
rate treaty. You know how everybody
felt about that.
If France, as alleged by some, pos
sessed secret or sinister Intentions
that was her opportunity to wreck
the conference. While we were sitting
unofficially with the Russian delega'
tion and meeting them officially
around the tables Of the commission
on Russian affairs, We were struck IN
the back. Had we left the conference
then and there, had we wrecked it,
I believe there are few people in the
United States or England who would
have blamed US. Yet, despite this
blow from behind, we continued 10y.

CHIEF VALUE Of SANDY SOIL
Roots of Plants Are Permitted to Pass
Through Readily, but It Dries
Out Quickly.

The chief virtue of sandy soil Is that
the roots of plants can pass through
1t readily; its chief fault is that it
dries out too quickly. Clay soil holds
water well, but it tends to pack and
harden. Both types of soil need stable
manure-it loosens up clay and helps
sand to hold moisture.

ALLOTMENT MADE TO REIN

FOR EXPENSES
DEFICIENCY IS MADE UP
For The First Time In History The
State viii Have A Complete In
yentory OF All Publicly Onwed
Lands In Louisiana.

Baton Rouge, La.-LOuislana Will
receive from the federal government
$4,000 acres of land that will be USED
for the benefit Of the public schools
OF the state. Announcement to this
effect comes from the State Land IN
yentory Commission in its report TO
the governor and the Legislature, just
completed.
These lands are to indemnify the
state for sixteenth section school
lands that we're found to be short.
Many years ago Congress passed an
act dedicating to the state, for the
benefit Of the public schools, every
sixteenth section Of land. In checking
ND the sections it was found that a
large number of them were short the
requisite $40 acres because OF old land
grants or bodies Of water TO make
up this deficiency Congress authorlz-
ed other public lands to be patented
to the states. These became known
Is indemnity lands.
Through some oversight or neglect
on the part Of the state the sixteenth
section lands never were checked to
ascertain the shortage until recently.
the legislature in 1920, on recommen
dation of Governor Parker, passed an
act creating the Louisiana Land In
yentory Commission and clothing the
commission with authority to make a
complete inventory and Investigation
Of all public land in the state. The
act appropriated $4,000 to defray ex-
penses Of the commission.
The commission is composed OF At
torney General A. V. Coco and Land
Registrar Fred ]. Grace, ex.officio
members, and Sam W. Mason of
Shreveport and Augustus M. Mayo OF
Lake Charles. C. e. Bauer Of Baton
Rouge is secretary and has done the
active work.
The land that will be received from
the government will far more than in
demnify the state for the expense
Of the comission.
In addition to securing several
thousand acres Of land for the benefit
Of the schools, the state will, for the
first time in It's history, have a com.
plets inventory Of all publicly owned
lands. This will be an extremely val
liable record and Is something that
has been needed ever since Louisiana
was organized as a state.
The Land Inventory Boards report
received from the United States 621,'
1874 acres OF sixteenth section lands
in place Of which 436,447.26 acres
have been sold, leaving balance Of
1S4,74o.15yowned by the state for

which there remains unsold and owned
