Moscow Uborevitch. OF the
Far Eastern Republics revolutionary
army. has begun negotiations with the
japanese commander and the Vladi-
vostok consular representatives for the
surrender OF Vladivostok. according 10
advices received by the Soviet Govern
ment from Chita.
The dispatches say the American
consul handed General Uboreyiteh a
note requesting him to guarantee the
personal safety OF American citizens.
Similar requests were made on behalf
Of the British and Japanese consulates
and the safety of foreigners and OF
property was assured by General
Cborevitch on condition that the Red
Army be allowed to enter Vladivostok
Immediately.
The dispatches assert that disorders
broke out in various parts Of Nladivo
stok in connection with the Japanese
retreat. and the American Consulate
sent word later to General Uborevitch
that the Americans were impatiently
awaiting the Far Eastern troops 10 re-
store order.

Vladivostok.- The curtain has been

10 the Soviets are departing. few
hundred persons have been killed, and
the people are sitting back waiting for
their new rulers, the Soviet leaders

The White Guards OF the Vladi-
yostok Government fought desperately
from October S, the day they came in
contact with the Soviet forces at
Spassk. until nearly two weeks later
the Reds utterly defeated them and
forced them to cross the Manchurian
frontier.
The men who bore the brunt of the
fighting were soldiers who had re-
treated from the Volga river to this
last stronghold of the White Guards.
Vladivostok sent General Diederichs
only l76 men in reply TO his call for
reinforcements. which led the dictator
to declare:
where are the sacrifices which were
TO he made for brethren who for two
years have borne the cross which was
laid on Russia for the sins of all?"

not usually the practice TO bind

will pay well to do SO. The same

there are more crops of the sor-

In the northern part Of the Plains
country there will be considerable
acreage OF winter wheat planted
anyhow and winter pasture will be
available from II 10 supplement the
feed supply However,. farmers in
those sections OF West Texas where
wheat Is not a general crop will
find il very profitable 10 plant a
small grain crop OF winter wheat
this fall for winter pasture For
pasture, winter wheat should be
planted early so as 20 give Il plenty
Of time 10 make a good fall growth.
September and early October plant
ing will usually furnish more graz
ing than later paintings.
Rye for Winter Grazing
Rye and winter barley are also
good small grain crops TO plant for
winter pasture, Rye will perhaps
make more pasture 70 the acre than
either wheat or barley because Of
the fact that Il will make more
growth at lower temperatures Rye
also will do some better on the
lighter or sander soils than wheat,
and there is an opportunity also 10
harvest fair grain crop from rye
which has been heavily pastured.
NJ X. Watson, farmer near Amar-
lilo, harvested n crop OF rye for
grain last year which yielded %
bushels TO the acre This was one
of the first trials with Rosen rye,
which Is a new variety 10 this see
ton, and Mr.. Watson was well pleas
ed with its Weld.
Since winter wheat seed can us
ually be had locally at a reasonable
price most anywhere in the Plains
country, and rye or barley seed for
planting likely have TO be shipped,
wheat will usually be the most pro
fitable small grain 10 plant for graz
ing. There is the further fact TO be |
considered that by grazing the wheat |
nj intervals and judiciously, remov-
ing the animals during wet weather !
and taking them off in April, a fair |
wheat crop can be harvested. In !
the wheat growing sections of West |
Texas the wheat growers who have /
made it a practice Of pasturing their .
wheat, figure the grazing is all pro
fit and If handled properly, the /
grain crop is not reduced. and the [
grazing alone pays the cost Of plant .
