A New Trade Treaty
(New York Times)


 Secretary Huls newest trade agreement, with the Netherlands, is ingenious bargain Dutch tariffs are relatively low and have not constituted has an extensive system of quotas" under which our trade has suffered. We have quota" system, but many of tariffs prohibitve The agree ment, the terms of which published recently, adaptS itself to these circumstances. We reduce a number of tariffs Dutch goods, and in return the Netherlands liberazes number of quantitative restrictions exports The result should be mutually advantageous. The agreement applies to trade not only with the Netherlands, but also with the Dutch colonial possessions-ncluding those in the East Indies and West Indies, well Dutch Guiana.
 AS in the case of all Mir Hulls earlier trade treaties this is the ninth he has negotiaed) the tariff reductions made this particular agreement will be generalzed for the benefit of all other na- tions-excluding only those which Qike Germany discriminate against our products. Approximately forty cassifications of imports thus affected by the present treaty. The recent treaty with Canada lowered tariffs in twenty caSsfications; the treaty with Sweden made reductions in thirty five cases, and the treaty with Belgium made re- auctions in forty seven.
 The significance of what is happening should not be overlooked. The Government is not merely negotiating a series of bilateral trade pacts Be- of the practice of generazing all reductions | it is gradually rewriting the Hawey Shoot tariff of 193o About 150 of the rates established by that celebrated tariff of abomnatons" have already been scaled down. to the advantage of all nations which trade with without discrimination Secretary Hull is accomplishing indirectly, and with some compensation in each case what the advocates of a unilatera reduction of tariffs have long urged but long regarded politically impossible.

THEY'RE GROOMING LANDON

Coy. Ali Landon of Kansas is momentarily the bright bubble of Republican hopes judging from the recent trek to Topeka. Even MT. Hoover who apparently still controls the destnies of the Re- publican Party, has dropped in to the Governor and undoubtedly, to sound him out potential timber The former President doesn't like Senator Borah and may be dubious in his own mind whether he can win the nomination at Cleveland if Borah to do, he is looking for the compromise candidate.
 Gov. Landon be identified the who balanced the Kansas State budget with the aid of ten million dollars from the Federal treasury Little is said by the Republicans about the little item of ten millions from kindly Government when stress is being laid by the party cheftains how Landon balanced his budget, but, of course, why bring that up when the Governor is tabbed the economy candidate" None other than MT. Hearst, the pub fisher has labeled Landon the economy standard bearer and the publisher has been among those visiting in Topeka. Ever since, his papers have been printing countless pictures of the Kansan and MT. Hearst and Arthur Brisbane his right hand man. having been writing columns about him.
 Yes, Gov Landon has arrived Whether he will be able to enter the sacred portals at Cleveland is still another matter There are, of course MT Frank Knox, MT. Borah MT. Hamilton Fish and few others who might like to puncture the Landor bubble. aa

READING, A WORLD FIGURE

In the death of Lord Reading of England, former viceroy of India another world wide figure passes from the international picture. He will be recalled to Americans the who headed the Anglo French loan mission to this country during the World War and borrowed half billion dollars when the Allied cause was in jeopardy.
 At the top of his powers Lord Reading probably was England's most skillful diplomat His talents gave brilliant service to his country, and perhaps the most important his mission to America He was a personal friend of Lloyd George, ther Chancellor of the Exchequer, when the Allies came to their desperate pass in 1915 and Lloyd Georg, picked him to head the money finding commission to America.
 His job in America, subsequently,. entailed fal more than the securing of the loan Among tn, activities he initiated the movement of sive from the United States vaults to India at a time when scarcity there great and meant trouble
 Lord Reading told the story at public dime just before he sailed for India.
 ssThere was a great scarcity of silver in India where it was essential that the paper note shoulc be convertible immediately into the silver rupee

U. S. AT THE NAVAL CONFERENCE

Position of the United States at the London Naval Conference which reconvenes next Monday after the holiday recess has been causing some to other nations, particularly Japan, which feels that Uncle Sam with the aid of Great Britain is keeping her from gaining naval parity The fact is that this country is seeking nothing at the naval conference, asking increase in naval power con tending ever for only sufficient defensive power to guarantee defense.
 In his opening address Norman H Davis Chair man of the United States delegation, stated the position of his country fairly and clearly wher he said:
 On behalf of my Government declare
 emphatically that the United States will
 not take the initiative in naval competi-
 ton. We want naval increase We want
 limitation and reduction. Our present build
 ing program which is essentially of replacement, is consistent with this desire. For ten years ceased naval construction.
 Under present plans, the strengths allotted to us by the London treaty
 of the end of 1886 will not be attained until 1922. We have no wish to exceed those treaty limits. I may say also that the United States which is definitely
 the way to recovery from the severe de- pression through which it has been going and from which no nation has escaped, is most anxious to devote it's energies and material resources to the upbuilding of the
 country.
 As MT. Davis indicates this country cares not for or aggression It is interested primarily in devoting it's energies and material resources to the upbulding of the nation. If are strong from within we need have no fear of trouble from without.

Eleven months from now when the American people go to the polls to elect President they will pay at least much attention to the character and reputation and personal attractiveness of the Re- publican and Democratic nominees as to the policies which those nominees pledged to carry out.
 The Republicans will doom themselves to defeat if they get the idea that because MT. Roosevelt's policies slipping they win, whenever they nominate
 Their hope for victory lies in presenting to the country nominee who will appeal strongly to it, as well as a program that will appeal to it more strongly than MT RooSevets policies do

Short Session of Congress
(NeWark NeWS.l

(Newark NewS)
 The people invariably dread the approach of a Congress session. and there is disputng the fact that there has been greater equanimity since the national lawmakers adjourned August 3l after eight months of continuous activity.
 A short session with few important measures on the agenda is good psychology from the Admin istration standpoint. It carries the implication that in almost three years the big work is done and out of the way and that Experimentation is a thing of the past To load down the session with new and big undertakings would be confession of ineffectiveness.

and we were hard pressed to find the needed metallic reserve he said.
 Tn the vaults of the American treasury there were vast stores held as the backing of notes issued by act of Congress-but this silver could not be disturbed. No matter how much it might be wanted it could not be taken out of the vaults save by act of Congress
 Tt was then that the United States admin istrators and members of Congress of every party, joined in passing an act practically without discus sion because any debate would have been serious.
 Tt became law in few days and vast mill lions of ounces of silver from the vaults sent across the ocean to India-a country with which America had no concern-smply because Americas leaders saw how necessary it at that particular moment to help the British empire. So far I know, America has never claimed anything in the way of recognition for that service"

Pastures Do Better When
Allowed Breathing Spell

"A breathing spell for pastures
pays good dividends in more for
age and better gains in weight of
cattle, according to tests by the
Bureau of Animal Industry at the
Ardmore field station, Ard
more, S. D.
Two-year-old steers grazed con-
tinuously on native range stocked
at the rate of one steer to ten acres
from May Is to September IA (122
days), gained SO pounds per steer
as compared with 157 pounds
gained by similar steers on alter
nate grazing but at the same rate
of stocking.
It was estimated that from 10 to
Is per cent more grass remained
at the end of the experiment when
the area was grazed alternately
than when it was grazed continu-
ously.
Steers receiving barley supple
ment of 9.57 pounds per head daily
on alternately grazed range gained
297 pounds per head. An addition
al group fed a barley supplement
of 90 pounds per head daily for
the last &c days on grass gained
227 pounds per head.

Good Pasture Is
Needed for Stock
Permanent Feeding Grounds
Prevent Topsoil Losses,
Check Gullies

Cattle get plenty of exercise but
produce little meat and milk from
worn out pastures. Properly man
aged pastures control erosion on
sloping fields and produce the
cheapest of all live stock feeds.
Overgrazed pastures are soon re-
duced to a playground for hungry
cows and mules.
Good permanent pastures pre-
vent losses of topsoil and the
formation of gullies. Together with
trees they represent the only nat
ural and income-producing means
for protecting slopes too steep for
the production of clean-cultivated
crops.
If you want to keep your pasture
from becoming a live stock gymna-
SUM and protect the soil from
washing away, application of these
timely pasture hints is suggested:
l. Do not Craze heavily in dry
seasons.
2. Now the weeds and shrubs
that rob moisture.
3. Let new seedlings make a good
top growth before grazing.
4. Plant temporary pastures of
Sudan grass, soy beans, cowpeas,
etc., to tide the livestock over the
entire season.

Water Required by Horse

Water requirements of the horse
are largely dependent on the
amount and kind-of work performed
and the feed used. Carbonaceous
feeds oxidize more completely than
heterogeneous feeds. A horse fed tim
othy hay and oats, with compara-
BILE weight and work, will drink
less water than one fed alfalfa
and grain of a higher protein con-
tent. At medium work, a 1,400-
pound horse will average drinking
IL to IA gallons of water daily
