UPHEAvAL OF OCEANS FLOOR.

Salt Lake Tribune: Important changes are
believed to have resulted from the recent ire
nendous upheaval of the floor Of the Pacific
ocean at a point not determined. Whether
these changes in currents are permanent or
only temporary remains to be seen. II per-
manent, the shifts will be a matter OF vast
importance to navigators. Experts on ocean
ographY however, are inclined to the belleI
that whatever variations in the directions OF
rivers of the sea may have followed lmme-
diately upon the disturbance will soon dis
appear and that the currents heretofore re-
garded as established will continue to func-
ton in the manner i'll which they have tunc-
toned in the past. A curious phase OF this
condition is reported from the northwest
coast where it is said sudden change in
currents in those waters caused Puget sound
and other bays and harbors to be invaded
by many unknown and rare species OF hsh,
some hitherto caught only at great distances
from shore. Other food fishes, such as hall
but, mackerel and cod, usually taken with
hook and line off the coast OF Vancouver Is
land, have appeared in large numbers III
Puget sound and are taken within a few hun
dred feet of the deepwater piers in cities.
Fishermen seinlng Tor smelts were surprised
to find their nets filled with species OF
gray fish, very desirable food fish, but lit
tie known in northwestern Pacific waters.
Seiners working at Bremerton navy yard,
near Seattle, discovered immense schools OF
tiny fish, which, when brought into the
boats, closely resembled in every particular
the Norway sardine. The sudden influx into
coast waters of fishes whose habitat is at
remote places in the Pacific is not the only
indication OF the effect OF the mighty up
heava for various kinds OF drift have also
appeared. With the restoration OF tranquility,
however, these signs of the unusual have been
gradually fading; but there is no doubt that
whatever catastrophe occurred at the bottom
of the ocean was OF stupendous proportions.

CASH FOR FERTILIZER.
From the Savannah Press.

The fertilizer manufacturers in Savannah
report conditions in the interior of the state
very much improved. They have found this
out though the increased sale OF fertilizers to
the farmers OF Georgia. 1t is interesting to
note that the fertilizer business is about to
reach normal again. The business done last
spring was only 80 per cent OF normal That
for this spring is reported so per cent better
than year ago, or 90 per cent OF normal.
And one, OF the pleasing features OF the
business is that it is being done this season
on d cash basis. No fertilizer is being sold
in Savannah on credit except in the most I'M
usual cases. The result has been that the fer
tilizer manufacturers have found that there
is good deal OF money in the interior There
have been prompt payments for all the
goods ordered and the orders have not quit
coming in yet.
The sale OF fertilizer indicates large cotton
acreage III Georgia this year 1t is hard to
get the Georgia cropper away from his cot
ton acreage. The boil weevil may cat him up
this year, but he takes d chance again when
the new planting season arrives.
Judging from the way the money IS sent
into Savannah for the fertilizer sunply of
1922, The country is far from being broke. The
money Is there. 1t may be inactive and not
drawing interest in the banks, but II seems
to be where the farmer can put his hand on
it when he needs it. In the opinion of the
Savannah fertilizer men, Georgia is Jar from
being in a bad way

GETTING OUT OF EUROPE.

The decision of the administration to bring

ago Indeed, public opinion in this country

occupation. Now, when there is dispute with
France over settlement OF the United States

soldiers is stronger than ever As a matter Of
TACT American interests in military affairs and
conditions in Europe ceased when the war had
been won by the allied and associated pow
ers The United States went into the war
to defeat Germany and her allies, but not
for conquest of territory nor to impose an

a settlement that promised peace for the fu-

DOG DERBLES POPULAR.

Within the last fifteen years unique Win
ter sport had its origin in the great northland,
Alaska. where men and dogs perhaps find
a closer companonship than anywhere else
in all the world, and where dog racing was
the outgrowth and desire for better breed
of species Alaska is not heard of now in
connection with this sport, which has been
appropriated by several communities in the
United States and Canada, but it was there
that it originated some fourteen or fifteen
years ago.
The Nome Kennel club was organized by
number OF dog drivers, men who almost
daily during the long winter employ seds
for quick travel between mining camps. The
club decided to hold an annual all-Alaska
sweepstake dog race and the course was laid
from Nome to Candle and return. The total
distance was 412 miles. A purse of $4,000
was provided for the initial event, and this
amount in gold coin was exhibited for days
in the window Of a bank The gold just filled
a gigantic silver loving cup, a trophy also
provided for the winner. The race was sue
cess from the beginning, attracting wide At
tention both locally and in the big cities in
the states.
New England, the north, middle west, Can
ada and the Yellowstone all hold sweepstake
dog races now nearly every winter. The
courses are watched with intense interest, and
descriptions of the races, together with pho
tographic reproduction OF the entrants, are
most desirable material for the biggest news
papers of the country. The secret, of course,
lies in the novelty OF the contest.

One year ago Mrs. D. c. Pierce was elect
ed mayor of the town OF Goodhue, MINI.
During her year in office she cleaned up the
town by enforcing the laws. She put the
punch boards out of existence and compell-
ed the pool halls to obey the regulations. She
stopped bootlegging in Goodhue Last week,
in a wet-dry contest, she was defeated for
reelection. She concludes that "the folks"
did not like her program of law enforcement.
In spite of the fact that it is the business OF
law officers to enforce the law it appears that
the short cut to unpopularity is law enforce
ment. Disrespect for law is a national dis
ease.

County Agent Notes
H. G. Seyforth

This Is the season when |. few
timely remarks concerning chicks are
in order When the chick is Matched
it is supplied for the first few DAYS
with sufficient food in the form of
a yolk sack. Under no circumstance
should incubator Matched chicks be
fed solid food until they are at least
as hours old. After the first few DAYS
a great deal of feed is necessary. The
chick rapidly multiplies its body
weight and must be literally fed to
10 this. The best rule is to give a
great variety of feed so that each
chick will have chance to eat feed
of a number of kinds. Chick feeds
are very good for feeding chicks that
are kept in large lots in brooders and
for feeding any that are raised early
in the season. The feed can be worked
into litter of chaff or chopped straw
and the chicks are forced to exercise
in hunting for it. This is especially
beneficial during stormy days, when
the chicks must be kept inside. Exer-
else is very important in developing
good, strong body and on this ac-
count chick feeds have proved espec-
tally valuable. The following are
some good chick rations:
$50 pounds of cornmeal
100 pounds of wheat bran
100 pounds of wheat middlings
25 pounds of rolled oats
20 pounds of meat scraps
pounds of oil meal
pounds of salt.

The above is chick mash. For a
scratch feed 100 pounds Of cracked
corn and 100 ponds of finely cracked
wheat are recommended.
We still have number of bulletins
on poultry which can be had for the
asking If anybody is Interested in
purchasing day old chicks from good
reliable hatcheries / can give them
list of inspected hatcheries in the
state of Wisconsin. A few poultry
men have listed Matching eggs with
ME for sale.
Most of the seed oats to be used for
planting the coming season are light.
They should be tested for germina-
ton before planting. Sow hundred
kernels in moist soil or saw dust and
notice how they terminate. Light
seed oats can be used in Wisconsin for
a year or two without any decided
fall off in yield, providing the soil
is prepared better than usual and a
few loads of we'll rotted manure ap-
piled to each acre This is the sug-
gestion made by R. A. Moore, of the
agronomy department of the Univer-
sity of Wisconsin, to the farmers
seeking information on the subject.
The addition Of the manure and the
extra culture of the seed will aid the
weak plants in getting a good root
system for sturdy growth.
Beware of seed bargains if you are
buying seeds. TIL bargain is for the
seller and not for you. The best
grade of seed is the cheapest, re-
CARELESS of the price. Beware OF
travelling seed agents. The pictures
they have are attractive and easy to
look at, but the seeds they deliver are
usually of low quality. Now is the

time to select seeds. There is plen-
ty of time and large quantity to
choose from. While there are large
stocks of most seeds the best grades
move first and the shortage of red
clover will make it hard to obtain
good quality at any price later in the
season. Good seed oats are scarce in
Wisconsin. Look out for western and
Canadian oats; they usually contain
wild oats. Sow two-year-old seed if
possible. If not, thoroughly clean
some good variety of oats grown this
season. Beware of imported clover
seed; it often contains bad weed seeds
and winterkills in this Latitude. If
you have clover seed to sell get it
tested and cleaned. You can then sell
it locally for more than you can get
if you ship it.
