BRANDON INSTITUTE
|S0NE BIG SUCCESS
Attendance At All Sessions
Large And Program Help
full And Instructive

Reports brought to Mt. Vernon of
the farmers institute, the closing ses-
sions of which were held Saturday at
Brandon, indicate it to have been a
complete success. Despite adverse
weather conditions making travel
difficult if not impossible, the attend
ance at most of the sessions Of this
Independent institute filled the hall to
its capacity.
John A. HummOn of Leipsic, the
chief speaker of the institute, proved
to be not only a good and capable in
structor, but a real entertainer as
well. His talks were based upon a
wealth of experience in life and his
jokes and witticisms were most ap-
propriate. His talk on Successes
and Failures Have Made" might
easily be applied to almost anyone.
Miss Hilda Horst, coming from the
college of agriculture, Ohio State uni
versity, gave her listeners a lot of
food for thought and action in her
talks on Future of the Rural Girl"
and "Home Making Clubs for Girls
1t was decided before the close of the
institute that this important work
should not be neglected, and that the
Brandon community shall back the
girls as we'll as the boys in their club
work.
Austin Carpenter boys leader in
club work at Brandon, gave an inter-
esting discussion of boys club work,
placing strong emphasis upon the nec-
essity for community support IL this
work is to be made real success.
The past work the Farm Bureau
was reviewed by Ralph Litzenburg of
Hilliar township. He pointed out that
no member of the Farm Bureau had
failed to get back the cost of his mem
bership with good, big interest add.
ed. "The weak part of the organiza.
tion is the local community" he said.
"The national organization, the state
organization, and the county organiza.
tion are already doing as much as
they can. 1t now remains for the To-
cal communities to get busy"
County Agent s. l.. Anderson dis
cussed the community program from
the standpoint of getting something
done, emphasizing the necessity for
first deciding what to to, starting it,
and finally of keeping at it until it is
| finished.
The institute elected the following
loficers for the year:
President-Clyde Milligan.
Vice Pres.-Harry Baxter.

NAVAL TREATY
is DESCRIBED
BY CHAS. WEST
(Continued from Page u


ton conference is the latest dramatic
interludc furnished by the French in
the resignation OF Premier BRAND.
When the news reached Washington
Of the overthrow of the French gov.
ernment the conference with startling
suddenness was thrown into a state
Of intense excitement and confusion.
Although the French policy at
Washington has been one of opposi-
tion, IL not actual obstruction, Prem
Ter BRAND must be given credit even
| for the moderation he did show in the
face of tremendous opposition from
his militaristic political enemies in
the French Chamber. The overthrow
of his government has been due, in
fact, largely to his attempt to follow
policy Of moderation and compro-
mise.
Undoubtedly the opposition to NJ.
BRAND has largely developed since
the beginning of the Washington con-
| ference. 1t has, of course, become
intensified during the recent meeting
of the Supreme Council at Cannes
where Lloyd George sought to secure
French cooperation with respect to
allied policy toward Germany by Of
fering France treaty or pledge guar
anteeing protection against the men,
ace of German aggression.
The immediate result of this crisis
in French governmental affairs 80 far
as the Washington conference is con-
cerned is the momentary feeling of
uncertainty with respect to future
French policy. France is signatory
to the new four power Pacific treaty.
She is also expected to become par
ty to the five power naval agreement.
The validity of the three power naval
agreement between Great Britain, Ja-
pan and the United States involving
the naval holiday and the scrapping
program depends upon the French
policy. All of the treaties or COM
mitments to which France is sigma
tory must be ratified by the French
Chamber with the approval of the
new government which is now con-
trolled by militaristic leaders who
are dominating French policy.
French Attitude
Undoubtedly the new French atti-
tude toward the Washington confer
ence will soon be made clear. But in
a larger sense France is adopting a
course that is bound to be followed
by consequences of the gravest char
acter. The identical situation has de-
veloped which former President Will
son predicted three years ago when
he warned the Senate of the tragic
consequences that might follow a re-
fusal to ratify the Treaty of Versailles
and the League of Nations Covenant.
France is today dominated by a spirit
Of militarism and Imperialism. She
is playing lone hand following a
path that leads to moral isolation, and
her policy of obstruction and opposi-
tion to liberal plans for. international
cooperation have eliminated in this
course which means practical def
ance of world sentiment for peace.

In the past four years, during which

the common barberry has baen In

that the shrub is a most persistent

Extensive Root System.
The root system Of the common bar
berry Is extensive. The roots Of a bush
four or FIVE feet tall may penetrate
the soil TO n depth Of three to five
feet and spread Iaterally an equal
distance. In larger bushes the root
spread is considerably greater. The
root system OF the plant varies some

lands where a layer Of rich humus
soil caps a more compact and less
rich stratum of soil, the roots are
chiefly confined TO the humus layer,

Of soil which is fairly uniform at its
various levels the root system is

When muck and peat land is to be
drained by tile the area should first be
drained by a system of open bitches.
according to the bureau OF public
roads. United States Department of
Agriculture. Such soils settle or sub
side considerably after drainage and
tend TO disturb the grade or slope of
the tile line. After such soils have
been drained for a year or so they be-
come compact enough to permit the
installation OF tile drains. Usually the
best method, says the bureau, is to
dig the bitches where the tile is to be
laid later, and after the tile is laid
and the ditch back-flIed there will be
nothing to interfere with cultivation.
