While it is not considered pos
sible to balance the budget dur
ing the present fiscal year, which
ends on June 80. 1888, the Presi-
dent is undoubtedly determined to
effect a balance between outgo
and income in the next fiscal
year. Apparently, he has con-
eluded that it is time to stop
the "pump-priming'' and see if
the nation can function normally
without a definite recession. If
there is a pronounced downward
movement, or certain unexpected
contingencies occur, the budget
may not be balanced even in the
next fiscal year.

just what the nations of the
world can do, short of actual
warfare, to influence Japan is a
problem. The Quarantine" sug-
gested by the President would
apparently isolate aggressors from
world commerce. This, in time,
would effectively wreck japanese
and Italian economy. Certainly,
there is little reason to hope that
either nation will submit to such
action without resort to war. The
conclusion seems to be inevitable
that the peaee-loving nations must
face the prospect of fighting if
they would secure the goals
sought.

The furore over the one-time
membership of Justice Black in
the Ku KIux Khan has many OBJ
servers puzzled. The story broke
in certain newspapers, was ex-
plotted for political effect in other
areas and has been carried along
by the press to an astonishing ex-
tent. What puzzles observers is
whether the public is as much in
terested in the disclosure" as the
newspapers seem to think. Ger
tainly, no one defends intolerance
in high places but there is quite
question as to whether the peo-
pie believe Justice Black to be as
intolerant as his detractors seek
to make him appear. His de
tenders are not very voeiferous.

peace whether this is to be a
permanent role or not.
That the world is heading to-
ward a definite showdown fac
ing world war or world peace is
undoubtedly true. The attitude
of Great Britain and France to-
ward the participation of Italy in
the Spanish war presents Dicta-
tor Mussolini with an opportunity
for war or peace. Unless one
side or the other backs down, the
issue is just that. Some observ-
ers believe that the effort to
liquidate the European situation
is born of determination to take
action in the Far East.

The issue may drag along in
certain journals and be used for
political effect for some time but
our candid opinion is that con-
tinued agitation will react in
favor of the Justice and in addi-
ton, give much needed advertise
nent to the almost defunct Khan.
The radio speech of the Justice
if accepted, clears him of the in
tolerance charge, although he had
to admit early membership in the

international issues took the
spotlight last week when Presi-
dent Roosevelt urged peace-lov-
ing nations to take concerted ac-
ton for peace" Closely follow
ing his Itterances, the League OF
Nations Far Eastern Advisory
Committee condemned Japan as
an invader and treaty-breaker
and recommended that League
members take no action which
would weaken China and that
they consider how far they can
extend aid to China. This was
followed by an official statement
of the United States Government
that condemned Japan as
treaty-violator in China and de-
clared that the conclusions of the
Government "are in general ac-
cord" with. the League stand.
The Presidents speech was
evidently timed to test public
sentiment in this country and to
prepare the people for some un-
disclosed cooperation with other
nations to prevent the spread OF
'.the epidemic of world lawless-
ness" Insisting that we are de
termined to keep out of war,
the President declared that he
would "adopt every practicable
measure to avoid involvement in
war" At the same time, he con-
cIuded. There is no escape
through more isolation or neu-
trality," that "the peace of the
world and the welfare and sc.
curity Of every nation Is being
threatened by those willing to
''run the risk of plunging the
whole world into war by invad-
ing and violating in contravention
of solemn treaties the territory OF
other nations that have done
them no real harm and which are
too weak to protect themselves
adequately"

With "innocent peoples and ma
tons being cruelty sacrificed to
the greed for power and supre-
macy which is devoid of all sense
of justice and humane considera-
tion," Mr.. Roosevelt insisted that
if these things "come to pass in
other parts Of the world, let no
one imagine that America viii
escape, that it may expect mercy,
that this Western Hemisphere
viii not be attacked and that ii
viii continue tranquility and
peacefully to carry on the ethics
and arts of civilization"

While the Presidents address
did not attempt to formulate any

iterated insistenee that 'sthe

peace can rest secure" He said
that s'the overwhelming majority

Dairy Cows Need
Best OF RatiOns
Amount And Quality Of Milk
Dependent Upon Quality
And Variety OF Food.

Even the humblest dairy cow has
her own idea about what she likes
to eat, and only palatable feed will
tempt her to eat enough to main
tain a full milk flow.
A good dairy cow has tremen-
dous capacity for converting feed
into milk, said John A. Arey, of
State College, and to make full use
of this capacity, she should be in
duced to eat all she can.
A healthy cow relishes grain
mixture containing several differ
ent feeds, but she usually gets tired
of a ration containing only one or
two kinds of grain.
Variety in the grain mixture on
ly makes it more palatable, Arey
pointed out; it also insures against
a shortage of minerals and provides
needed proteins.
The grain mixture should not be
too concentrated. IF it weighs
about one pound per quart, it has
the right amount of bulk.
Such feeds as wheat bran, ground
oats, ground barley, and beet pulp
are often used to add bulk and va
riety to the mixture.
But grain is only supplement-
airy feed, Arey emphasized. Cows
nesd plenty of good pasture when
it is available and a full feed of
silage and legume hay in winter.
Dairymen who buy feed for their
cattle VIII get better results if thy
purchase only fe ID in which the
percentage of ingredienca is fairly
high. When the percentage of
crud e fbra runs high, the
fibre fills Up the cows stomach
without providing the digestibl-
nutrients she ought to have.

Explains How To
Get Good Prices

Stabilizing agricultural prices at a
''fair level" makes it possible for the
farmer to follow a balance cropping
system that conserves the soil.
There is a direct relation between
The up and down price of farm COM
modities and the care that is given
the soil, said E. Y. Floyd, of State
College.
When prices are ruinously low, he
said, farmers tend to grow all the
cash they get in an effort to wrest
a living from the land. They are
virtually forced to keep every pos
sibl acre in cash crops.
And under the pinch of low in
come, few farmers are able to carry
out the good practices necessary to
enrich the soil and conserve it for
futures years.
Thus low prices work in two ways
to force type of farming that rap
idly depletes the soil, Floyd pointed
out.
On the other hand, high prices
induce farmers to raise all the cash
crops they can in their desire to
make money while the making is
good. And farmers tend to neglect
their soil.
In places, the custom of growing
cash crops year after year with few
soil-building crops in rotation or as
a cover has so reduced the fertility
of the land that it is impossible to
make a decent living farming this
land, he continued.
The 1888 agricultural conserva-
ton program, he said, is intended to
stabilize prices at a level that will
encourage farmers to carry out good
soil-conserving practices and check
the wasteful depletion of the land.

Both the Senate and the House
have business on their hands. AS to
the upper legislative body, there is
the farm bill, the first bill having
a distinctive White House backing
to come forward for consideration,
with plans to make it law without
loss of time About a half billion
dollars is involved, but it is said
to contain no tax provisions to
meet its demands, that, perhaps,
being a matter for subsequent con-
sideration. It's chief provisions in
clude, as to wheat and cotton, acre
age control made compulsory by a
two third vote of the growers, a
similar control of cotton, and a
strong hand laid on tobacco and
rice growing. with penalties for
over-acreage, all coupled with pay
ments equal to or greater than those
proposed by certain measures sent
to the discard by the Supreme
Court or otherwise.
The Wages and Hours Bill seems
to have grounded hard on rock,
taking the form of disappearing
letter from Mr.. Green, of the Am
erican Federation of Labor, who
feels that administration of labor
legislation by independent govern
mental agncies is fatally defective,
and that a shorter working day,
coupled with a shorter working
week are essential to the cure of
what is called a serious recession of
business. The government attitude
seems to be to bring the bill to an
early vote, though possibly with
some conciliatoIy amendments In
the meantime there is a House
movement to get the matter out of
hand by December Is, and every
thing may be over by Christmas.
On the horizon, but already Wis
lille, is the Administrative plan to
improve hoU,ing conditions, the OBJ
stable being the high cost of bulls
ing and the financing Of such opera
tons: The assumption is that there
ars large boards of idle money that
could be put to work for the pur-
pose indicated. If private enter
prise docs not come forward
promptly the screws Of legislation
can be applied.
The Brussels conference, con-
vened in the hope of doing some
thing for China, seems likely to ex-
pire peacefully and be buried with
decorum, at no very distant date.
There is an almost forgotten col
lege song which begins: ''When you
hear the roll Of the big bass drum,
then you may know that the Dutch
have come" The reference to the
Dutch Or Germans, has nothing to do
with the situation and was quoted
merely to finish the couplet The
Brussels meeting had no more po-
tent weapon than sound, the roll
of the big drum, behind it. The
lack of substantial means toward
an acknowledged end made the
conference an affair that ranged
from formal and diplomatic chatter
to what Shakespeare calls "angry
parle'', and when all was over the
Chinese found themselves right
where they were when the confab
began. Soviet Russia has warned
Japan to keep her hands off Mon
golia. japanese ambition may dis
regard the Russian mandate. Chi
ma in the end may have to rely on
help that is near home. Out of the
whole conflict may come a Red
China, and if that result occurs, the
rest of the world will have them
selves to thank for placing too
much confidence on bare noise in a
condition that called for action.
