WILSON CHARGED
WITH LEAGUE BAR
Sister of Late Theodore Roosevelt
Says Democrats Forced to
Withdraw Support.
BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, January 4.-Mrs.
Corinne Roosevelt Robinson, sister OF
the late Theodore Roosevelt told the
Foreign Policy Association today that
President Wilson had caused the de-
feat 10 years ago Of the proposed en-
try of the United States into the
League of Nations by forcing Demo-
cratic Senators to withdraw promised
support from Republicans advocating
entry with six reservations.
Mrs. Robinson, who spoke in reply
10 Henry Morgenthau, former AmbaS-
sador to Turkey, said the late Senator
the morning the Senate voted on the
proposal that Republican Senator'S
were going to combine with certain
Democrats to approve the entry. The
support OF these Democrats was with
drawn at the command of the Presi-
Gent, she said, with resulting defeat of
the measure. Morgenthau said Re-
pupihcan Senators would not have ap-
proved entry OF the United States into
the League 10 years ago even If PreSi-
dent Wilson had approved the reser-
vatlonS they asked The reason for
this "foulest conspiracy" he declared
was that the Republicans did not want
TO have the Democrats get the credit
for the entry.

asking the governor to issue o.. blanket
pardon on the ground that the % per-
sons were convicted on false testimony
given by undercoyer agents working for
the county.
Not satisfied with this action Mayor

INSURANCE WOULD LIFT
DEBTS FROM FARMS

Creation OF an estate for agricuI-
ture through life insurance is appar-
emily the only way in which farmers
may eventually own their own land,
according to Farm Bureau officials,
who are concerned over the mortgage
ed Indebtedness of agriculture. Farms
in Minnesota, as elsewhere, are heav-
lily mortgaged, some being plaster
ed" almost to their full limit of
value. There is nothing in sight to
indicate that these mortgages can be
paid, nothing to indicate that at some
time in the future the farms may
not be taken over by the holders Of
the mortgages.
Insurance on the life of the hus-
bandman, however, would pay off the
farms mortgage, and provide the
wife and children with a home after
the death of the husband and father,
says j. S. Jones, secretary-treasurer
OF the Minnesota Farm Bureau. The
Farm Bureau leader holds that each
farmer should carry life insurance at
least on the amount of his mortgage.

MINI. SWINE FEEDERS
DAY ON OCTOBER II

With larger number of pigs to be
reported on than ever before, the an
nual Minnesota Swine Feeders Day
will be held at University Farm, St.
Paul, on Friday, October II, accord
ing to an announcement this week by
Prof. E. F. Ferrin of the animal hus-
bandry department.
Swine feeders day is an annual
Occasion on which farmers from all
over the state come to the expert
ment station to learn first hand the
results of the years experimental
trials with hogs, to hear these results
interpreted by the stations staff
members, and to see the pigs used in
the experiments.
One exceedingly timely subject
upon which this years experiments
will throw some light is the feeding
of wheat to growing pigs. Many
other vital problems of the hog pro-
Queer have been investigated, in
Guiding the value of different kinds
of grains, the frequency Of feeding,
and individual versus group feed

WHEAT EQUAL TO CORN
FOR DAIRY FEEDING

Substituting wheat for corn in the
dairy ration is advisable whenever
the price for pound of wheat is
lower than that for a pound of corn,
according to DR.. C. H. Eckles, chief
of the dairy division, University
Farm. Pound for pound, the feeding
value of wheat and corn are practic-
ALLY equal for dairy cows, DR.. Eckles
says, and good general rule for the
dairyman to go by is to use which
ever one is cheaper.
Due to the difference in weight
per bushel of the two grains it is i'm
portant that they be compared on the
basis of price, per pound or per ton
instead of price per bushel. Wheat
is slightly less palatable than corn
and is inclined to be somewhat
sticky when eaten, but these obiec-
lions are negligible if the wheat is
fed mixed with other grains in pro-
portions not exceeding one-fourth or
one-third of the total grain ration.
Because of the hardness of wheat
it should be ground for dairy cows as
otherwise large percentage might
not be digested. The manner of feed
ing is very simple, DR.. Eckles ex-
plains, as wheat should be used in
exactly the same way as corn, up to
the extent of one-third of the total
ration. Farmers who understand
feeding corn will have not trouble in
making a judicious use of wheat, he
says.
With large spread between the
per pound prices Of wheat and corn,
such as obtained early in September,
dairymen should be able to make
considerable savings by feeding
wheat in place of corn, particularly
durum wheats and the lower grades
of other wheats, DR. Eckles points
out.

TO DISCUSS OUTLOOK
FOR HOG GROWERS

The outlook for the Minnesota hog
producer is to be the subject of a
series of farmers meetings to be
held in large number of counties
this fall, beginning about the middle
Of October. The meetings are being
arranged by county agents for the
purpose of helping farmers to an un-
|derstandng of the swine situation,
particularly with reference to market
land consumption trends. Agricultur-
|al extension specialists in farm man.
|agement and livestock production
from University Farm will be the
speakers.
The farm management men will
discuss the markets. situation, hog
supplies, probable price trends and
|other factors that indicate whether
the farmer should expand or cut
down his hog production. The live
stock specialists will take up the
Economics of production, swine sani-
tation and other points having to do
with efficient hog management.
Counties which have already re-
4uested such meetings include Wa
tonwan, Rock, Rice, Cottonwood, Rem
vile, Lyon, Brown, Mower, Faribault,
Houston, West Ottertail, and West
Polk. Depending on the number of
counties to be served, from two to
four meeting will be held in each,
with two specialists attending each
meeting.

with $500 bushels of oats and barley
and also quite a large amount of

The Window fire department was
