SEEK PRECEDENTS
FOR NAVY RUM WAR
Cooperation of U. S. and
England Combating Snug
uIers Now Under Discussion.

While an unofficial survey is in
progress to determine what naval IA
cilities are available to wage war or
rum runners within the three-mile
limit. important measures for CO
operation between the United States
and British governments to prevent
smuggling are under discussion.
No official intimation has come from
the White House that the Navy vii,
he drawn into the dry" fight, but
naval officers proceeded yesterday on
Fridays semi official declaration that
the ma tier was under consideration,
and it was learned at the State De
partment that every possible aid was
being given there to the work OF
prohibition enforcement.
1t became known also that NUM-
her of methods of preventing SNUG
Cling on the high seas had been sug-
rested to the State Department.,
among them the precedent set during
the period of the slave trade for
seizure outside of the threemile limit
and that they had been found to lack
the necessary basis under inter
national law.
Result of Treaties.
Cooperation in suppressins tire
slave trade, it was pointed out, was
the result Of treaties concluded az
various times between the United
States and Great Britain. Inasmuch,
however. as the British government
a Stfnilay
treaty for the purpose of suppressing
the traffic in alcoholic liquors, the
search and seizure of rum vessels in
the view of the United States govern
ment would not be legal. 1t was also
pointed out that the treaties of slave
DAYS conferred no jurisdiction OIL
local courts Of either of the contract
ing parties to determine whether the
ships belonging to the nationals OF
the other party were subject TO
seizure and confiscation. Therefore
under the present circumstances, even
If British ships were seized outside
the three mile limit by American
brought to American courts, which
would have no authority under treaty
rights. to try the cases.
Furthermore, II was said, In the
absence of uniformity In policies o.
the two governments with respect 10
the use of Intoxicating liquors foT
beverage purposes, an agreement
would not likely be possible for dis
position of the vessels under pre-
visions similar to those contained in
the old treaties.
AS indicating the activities Of the
State Department in the matter or
rum ships, in addition to the negoti.
ations pending with Great Britain, u
was pointed out that Canadian au-
thorities had issued instructions that
a Shipping Board permit should &C
company applications TO transfer
vessels from American to Canadian
registry. The department has taken
up with the British ambassador the
question of cancelling the British
registry of American owned vessels
used for smuggling liquor and has
asked the Canadian authorities to re-
fuse clearance papers to liQ0or yes
sells destined for the United states.

HOW INCOME MAY BE
INCREASED IN WINTER
Feeding Of Beef or Dairy Cattle Offers
Best Opportunity.

Many Minnesota farmers are trying
50 to adjust their farm business that
better use can be made of the winter
months. They would like to increase
their income during the winter, for
they have heard that detailed records
show there are farms where the re.
turns or income from an hour of labor
is just as great during the winter as
It Is in summer.
R. C. Engberg. until recently with
the farm management division Of the
University Of minnesota, says some
farmers find profitable employment
during the winter by conducting a
small seed business. Even II one
does not care to prepare seed for the
market, extra time spent during the
winter preparing ones own seed pays
very well, he says.
"The most important way of secur.
ing employment during the winter is
through the feeding Of beef or dairy
cattle, together with hogs" says Mr.
Engberg. Dairy cattle require the
most labor and consequently offer one
of the best ways Of adding to the in
come during the winter. II the cows
are made to freshen in the fall, the
heavy work with them commences
when the rush with the crops Is out
of the way. This also fits in very well
with the price of dairy products-eith
or butterfat or whole milk-as the
price begins to go up in the fall and
reaches high points during the winter
months when one will have the most
time available for milking.
1.-THE better. the cows are, Of course,
the greater will be the return from
the winter work. In 1892, according
to records secured from 81 farms In
Steele county, Mimi, dairy cows paid
on the average 1914 cents an hour FOL
all time spent on them. That is not
a high wage, of course, but it is bet
ter than nothing at all. An average
of 1859 hours were spent on the dairy
enterprise on these farms which meant
that the dairy enterprise Increased
the farm income by about $3.50. Most
of this labor was done at time when
It did not conflict with the crop work
ION some of the farms the winter
work paid higher returns than the
summer work. The better the cows
are and the more economical the pro-
duction the higher will be the returns
for this winter work. On some farms,
the cows earned over SO cents an
hour for the labor spent on them. But
even where only small wage is earn
ed, for example 10 cents an hour, the
income will still be increased some
by milking unless something can be
found that is more profitable at that
time Of year"

SEPT. 1920 RECOMMENDED
FOR SEED CORN TIME
None Too Early for Planning the 1924
Crop, Say ~" Men.

September 10 to 20 is again recon-
mended for Seed Corn Time in Min
nesota by farm crops division and az
ricultural extension service men OF
the university. Seed corn for next
seasons planting should be selected
in the field from the standing stalks
either Just before, II the corn has rip.
ened, or during September 10 to 20.
The university men believe that
preparations for the 1924 crop should
be commenced now with the selection
of nearly, IL not quite, double the
amount Of seed corn which will be re-
quired next year.
A. C. Army, in charge Of the farm
crops section at University Farm, says
the best time to select seed corn Is
when the leaves of the plants are still
green, the husks beginning to turn
yellow, and the ears well denied.
when the seed ears are selected
from the plants as they are maturing,
says Mr.. Army, "the choice can be
made on a sound basis to maintain Of
increase the yielding power OF the
variety, while at the same time d.
seased plants can be recognized and
avoided. To put off selection until
the leaves of most Of the plants are
yellow from natural ripening or from
killing by frost makes efficient selec
ton difficult"
AS to the amount of seed to select
Mr.. Army says that Sc pounds OF shell
ed and graded seed corn Is sufficient
to plant seven or eight acres when
checked 8 feet 6 inches apart and {
or 4 kernels per hill. One and quar-
ter to one and a half bushels of ears
selected at the proper time from
strong plants usually provides ample
seed corn for planting Z or 8 acres
and still allows considerable latitude
for discarding undesirable ears and
ears that are diseased or low in germ
ination. -... "..

MINNESOTA GETS LAKE
STATES FOREST STATION
Or. Raphael Zon, Renowned as For.
ester, Will Be In Charge.

Minnesota has secured the lake
states forest experiment station in
competition with Wisconsin and Michi.
gan. The station was authorized by
a recent act Of congress which appro-
priated $4,000 for investigational
work and expenses the first year. The
headquarters will be in the forestry
division of the university's depart
ment of agriculture at University
Farm, st. Paul. The Cloquet station
of the University of Minnesota, which
was established about ten years ago.
will be one of the series Of field sta
tions maintained in the three states.
DR.. Raphael Zon Of the Washington
office of the federal forest service, has
been appointed director Of the lake
for his staff at University Farm. Four
experienced foresters will be associat
ed with him. DR.. Zon is a native OF
Russia, but has lived the last % years
in Washington, D. c. He was educat'
ed in Russia, Belgium, and England

land problem in this country" says
DR.. Zon. Forests are as much crop
of the soil as are corn and wheat, the
only difference being that they take
longer to mature. The forest expert.
ment station over which l will have
charge will study how to grow wood
State foresters and forest schools are
doing splendid work, but 1t Is necesr
sary that the lake states region, az
an economic unit, work out program
to get the most out Of the land. We
will welcome cooperation and will un
dertake to form a regional research
council to be made up Of representa-
tives Of the lumbermen, the agricul.
tural colleges of Minnesota, Wiscon
sin, and Michigan, the forest schools
and the state foresters. We will thus
get together and survey the entire
field and find what are the most ur-
gent problems. This will do away
with a great deal Of duplication"
