International News Review

Sunday evening Mr.. Welles pro-
ceeded, again going by way of Switz-
erland where he was to make another
stop of two or three days, toward his
next Observation-Disclosures. From that
city he will go on to London, and then
Mussolini wants him to come back
to Rome before he returns to Wash
ington.
Nature of Welles Mission.
A lot of transformation has been
spread concerning the real mission
of Mr.. Welles in Europe, but the sim
pie fact is that he went over there
as the representative of President
Roosevelt and Secretary of State Cor
dell Hull as sort of official reporter.
He was instructed to ask questions,
and to report the answers given him
to his superiors. He was expressly
told not to offer proposals of any
kind; he was not to make suggestions;
he was not to attempt to end the
European wars; he was merely to
listen and to report.

Soil Sign-up Me cts
Draw More Attention

Farmers in Pine county have re-
Gently completed attending sign-up
meetings for the 1910 Agricultural
Conservation program. Nineteen of
these meetings have been held in diff
ferent parts of the county, and the
attendance this year has been larger
than last year, according to Melvin
Anderson, chairman.
Indications are that farmers are
taking advantage of the lining prac-
tice to much larger extent this year
than they ever have in the past. 9th
er soil building practices which are
attracting attention are (D practice
of re-seeding old pastures, (2) seed
ing of alfalfa and clover, and (3)
woodlot improvement is receiving
some consideration, although ruling
this year that woodlot practice can
be earned only once every five years
is in effect.
Application of phosphate and pot
ash can also help to earn soil build
ing allowance if not applied to soil
depicting crops. Lime, of course, can
be applied on any land and payment
received up to the amount of the soil
building allowance.
1t is necessary for anybody who
expects to receive a payment under
the 1910 program to sign an inten-
ton form by May l, according to
Mr.. Anderson.
