RUSSIA HAS EDGE
AT CE0NA MEET
Nations Court Soviet Favors As
Worlds Conference Opens
U. S. Not Represented.

Genoa-The preliminary moves on
the European chess board, to which
the day before the opening of the eco
nomic conference was largely devoted,
plainly showed all nations, great and
small, counting Russia, although they
wished to appear not over eager in
the courtship. Therefore, the Rus.
slams seemed to hold a position of
distinct advantage, all depending on
how they manipulated their pawns in
their project to be admitted to Jthe
council OF nations as the representa-
tives OF the Russian state.
The conditions Of Russia's entry are
the outstanding and dominating sub
ject Of the conference.
In the meantime the Allied chiefs
have had two lengthy sessions which
were marked by some sharp ex-
changes between the British prime
minister, Mr.. Lloyd George, and Louis
Barthou, representing France, and set
tied on definite program of technical
work for the conference.
The appointment of commissioners
as at the Washington conference was
arranged for, composed Of representa-
tives of all the nations, with subcom-
missions, the membership of which is
restricted to the nations having par
ticular interest in the particular eco
nomic topics to be taken up. The
French delegates announced that com
plete accord existed between Great
Britain and France in all matters.
Soviet Russia and Japan speak for
Asia in the conference; Canada repre-.
sents North America, and the South
African federation will speak for the
great dark continent, South America
is the single great land division of the
world without spokesman.

FOREST PROTECTION WEEK
By the County Agent.

This week of April 18th to 22nd
has been designated Forest Protec-
tion Week by Governor Preus in a
proclamation in which he calls atten-
tion TO the economic and esthetic
Importance of our forests.
To no county of the state is for
est protection of greater importance
than to this county. With thou
sands of acres of land unsuited to
agriculture yet most favorably so to
forestry, the county has in it's for
ests. under the system of manage
ment which must come to pass, a
perpetual source of employment and
income. 1t has, too, in those forests
one of the most essential features
in that beauty which is drawing to
it as a vacation ground the thousands
of tourists who live in scenically less
favored parts of the central states,
If j, the sojourn of those visitors is
|tofbecome a valuable, source of in
co1ne through the demand it will
create for the products of garden
and dairy and other service, it is
clearly to the interest of all residents
in the county that the beauty of its
woodlands be preserved. 1t would
be difficult to picture a scene more
desolate than burnt-over forest
tract Lake and stream lose their
charm and make even more apparent
the desolation of their setting.

PROCLAMATION
STATE OF MINNESOTA.
Executive Department,
ST. PAUL

From the time the snow leaves
the ground in the spring, until it
again covers the ground in early
winter, forest fires constitute Sc
rious menace to our forest resources,
and to the settlers in the timbered
area.
Nearly one thousand people have
been burned to death by forest fires
In Minnesota. Counting also the
grief to survivors, the broken fami-
lies, the blasted hopes, the discour-
aging effect on prospective settlers,
the loss of opportunities for labor,
it is easily seen that forest fire pre-
vention is one of our states greatest
problems.
The property loss, in our state in
the last 80 years has averaged $2,-
100000 per year. This makes no
allowance for the potential value of
young, growing timber actually de-
stroyed. Forest fires kill valuable
wild game, destroy beautiful lake
shore scenery, retard agricultural de-
velopment and discourage reforesta+
tion.
We are spending millions on out
side timber we can just as we'll
produce in Minnesota, with proper
protection and propagation. Nearly
all forest fires are caused by human
agencies, most of them by careless
ness. With properly supported for
est service, much can be done in pre-
venting forest fires. But there can
be, no security until al persons in
our woods, settlers, campers, hunt
ers, raj lroad men and lumbermen, are
, thoroughly impressed with the neces-
sity for the utmost caution in hand
ling fires, and the danger in leaving
,, fires unquenched or in setting fires
which may get beyond control. This
can be accomplished partly by legis+
lation and law enforcement, but more
by education.
Spring being an appropriate time
to make plans for fire. prevention
during the coming season, I, j. A.
0. Preus, Governor of Minnesota, dc
hereby designate the week of April
10th to 22d, as
FOREST PROTECTION WEEK
and urge private citizens, public of
t1c1als, newspapers and Our schools
to cooperate in spreading informa
tlon concerning the need of conserv
ing our, timber resources, protecting
our settlers and giving encouragement,
to every industry in our timber anc
cut-over regions.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF. hav,
hereunto set my hand and caused tn,
Great Seal Of the State to be affixed
hereto this twenty-ninth day O.
March, 1922.

Governor of Minnesota

PLANTING WINDBREAks

The designation of April 28th as
Arbor Day and Bird Day is timely
reminder of tree planting. While
this day falls too early for the act
ual planting Of trees in this county,
it's purpose is fulfilled if interest is
aroused and planting follows when
conditions are Fl t. Although the
observance of the day originated in
the treeless prairies where the winds
alone are powerful argument in it's
favor, it has become general through
out the states and through the CO.
operation o f the schools and fores-
try organizations has steadily
growing Influence in aropsing pub
lie interest in tree planting g for util-
ity and beauty.
In starting the farm home in this
county the settler in nearly every in.
stance had to clear space for house
and barn. From that space the
clearing proceeded until, in most
cases, the farm house and buildings
now stand as unsheltered as any to
be found on the prairies before the
practice of planting shelter belts be-
gan. Where farmsteads are so stu
ated, it is. worth while considering
the planting of a windbreak. AS
eVergreens are of somewhat slow
growth but are, when grown, of the
greatest value for shelter purposes,
it is necessary to plant some more
rapidly growing tree or shrub. OF
this kind, none is better than the
golden willow, as it is known to
grow vigorously in this county and
will in a few years attain. such size
as to be a material shelter. 1t has
the further advantage that it. + is
easily started from !. cuttings that
are as easily set out. To give the
best protection, several rows Of cut
tings should be- set out. While it. is
undoubtedly difficult to transplant
evergreens that have attained con-
siderable size in their; wild surround
ings, better success can be had BY
choosing those which are Of. such
size that they can be moved with
very little, if any, disturbance Of thei
root system. In transplanting, it Isl |
advantage to have to move
the tree IS short q distance as pos
sible, as there is then less risk Of the |
drying out Of the root system While

DENNY WARNS OF RED PLOT
Secretary Orders Personnel Of Navy
to Guard Against Radicals.

Washington Secretary DENLY
served blunt warning on officers and
men of the navy to guard themselves
ashore and af1oat from the preach
ings Of sovietism, communism and
anarchy" through a specia. order to
the entire service, which declared that
no lenience would be shown to men
who committed acts of disloyalty." ;"
The order arose, Mr.. DENLY said,
from the fact that his attention had
been called to sinister propaganda
by societies having their origin in
foreign countries to undermine the
morale of the navy and to insinuate
into its personnel elements of dis
loyalty and disorder"

-four now may be imported into Ger:
many without. special import license.
It is semi-officially explained that this
is due to the fact that prices of foreign
flour recently have been lower than
for the German product. Official stat
istics show that the price Of German
agricultural products has risen aston
ishingly during the last month. AS
an instance wheat flour, which at the
beginning of February brought 1,1SO
marks per 100 Kilograms, had risen to
5000 marks at the end Of March.
