For about a month, all we could say was that it was hot. Now we can change our line quite often, som times saying that it is hot, that it is| cool, that it is wet, that it is dry,| that it is rather uncertain, that it is| unseasonable, that it is untimely, that | it is showery, etc., ete. | —Anything to Agree— | And Nobody Kicked, at That | A news report states that John| Wanamaker began the 84th year of | his life by getting to his desk at 8:15, July 11.

They would Iike more battles than they get, but as we don’t allow no-decision contests, nobody who considers him- self anything of a champ will risk his title unless the financial inducement is very high. So you sce, our champs are soft, too. We have plenty of good boys, but must of them have had an Ameri- can training.

They naturally went to the | foreign office and No. 10 Downing| street, and something had to be done. | The next day the foreign office spokesman blandly referred inquirers | to the freshly-printed sheets of “Hansard,” which contained no refer- ence to the premier having mention- ed expeeting replies from the United | States, Japan or China. ‘“‘Anybody | quoting the premier differently to the | official parliamentary record must| have misunderstood him,” was all| that could be extracted from the for- | eign office. | Leading newspapers, with implicit faith in their parliamenfury experts, | were not satisfied with this and went! to the premier’s office. Soon after-| ward an official statement was issued, | saying that somehow of other the| words “would depend on replies from | the United States, Japan and China” | had been “omitted” from Hansard, but that these~“words were actually used by, the premier and had accord- ingly been inserted in the official record. | There the matter ended officially, and the newspapers did not press the point any further, for the average British editor has a very high sense of patriotic duty where delicate mat- ters of foreign policy are concerned. The corrected proofs of Hansard, for July 7, were nc# available for in- spection, so nobody can say just who eliminated these important words from the premier’s statement. That they were deleted was obvious, also that the deletion cculd only have been done by somebody close to Lloyd George, if not, indeed, the pre- mier himse!f. The impression was that Lloyd George, who had been se- verely baited in preceding questions, had said rather more than he had in- tended when replying to the harm- less-looking Anglo-Japanese question, and that he had corrected the error| as soon as possible. But the official | reinsertion of these words had every- body guessing. Then, in his promised statement. on to give it up for any|July 11, Lloyd George blandly stated «. that when he said he expected “re- plies from the United States, Japan and China,” he meant that Curzon had had’ conversations with the Unit- ed States and Japanese ambassadors and the Chinese minister, in which he had laid before them the views of the British cabinet, and that they had promised to report any replies they might receive. The explanation generally favored was, that Lloyd George feeling com- pelled to do something about the An- glo-Japanese treaty and to meet the views of the Dominion premiers, then in conference in London, had soug: to provoke the talked-of, but so far unmaterialized, invitation from Washington on the Far East ques- tion. i Washington “came across,” and if this was his objeet, it was attained very nicely. And as Washington was the only capital that really mat- tered, the question of a conference was happily launched. But, did Lloyd George invite Har- ding, or did Harding invite Lloyd George?

In the course of the work he was cutting alongside a hedge with a pair of clippers. “Ba-a-a,” came from"the other side of the hedge. Goecke looked up. A neighbor was sitting on the porch reading. Goecke resumed his clipping. “Ba-u-a!” sounded again. Goecke straightened up and shot | | fierce glances at his neighbor. But the Ingter’s face was concealed back of the newspaper.

Why, no! What makes you think so?” “Well, stop that ‘baa-ing!’” Goecke said. “Oh, that’s it. I'll show you what that is.” and the neighbor went back among the bushes and pulled out a lamb. “I bought it yesterday,” he ex- plained. Immediately Goecke was seized with an idea. “Lend it to me, will you?” he asked. The neighbor was obliging. The lamb finished the grass cutting Job, and Goecke enjoyed the cool and quiet of a shady nook on his porch. GREATEST IN PLAINS STATES Matter of Farm Risks Established by Records Kept by the Depart- ment of Agriculture. Risks in the production of three great staple ‘crops—corn, wheat and outs—are greatest in the plains states, extending from Texas to North Da- kota. This general fact is established by the ‘uverage deviation of the yield per acre from the average yield, com- puted by the bureau of crop estimates, Department of Agriculture, for these three' crops for each state fvom the records of 50 years. On the other hand, the North At- lantic and the western states are re- gions of comparatively low risk, or tion of yield per acre from the age, for wheat and oats, and the re Atlantic coast and the west for corn, The gmeat corn belt, with its enor- mous production and suyplus above loeal consumption, aftér all, prom- Inently subject to risks of weather, in- sects and disease in the production of crops, and, while it would be going oo far to say of this region as a whole | that the results of its agriculture ure either “a feast or a famine,” yet there |: is a tendency in this direction as the area covered by the average becomes more restricted to county, township and individual farm. —_— Defense, Then Prosecution Rests.

(Prepared by the United States Depart- ment of Agriculture.) More than 9,500,000 pounds of but- ter was made by 93 creameries in the Southern states in the year ending De- cember 31, 1919. Thirty of the 54 cheese factories scattered throughout the mountain region turned out 481, 000 pounds of Cheddar cheese. Silos, modern dairy barns, and purebred dairy cows are becoming common. “Fifteen years ago dairying as an in- dustry had been scarcely started in the southern states,” said a specialist in the dairy division, United States Department of Agriculture. “The South probably has made more prog- ress_in the last 13 years than any other section of the country. The in- crease in the number of dairy cows from 1907 to 1920 was more than 50 per cent. The increase for the en- tire United States durirng the same period was 13.8 per cent.” While the increase in number of cows has been large, it is pointed out ¢y men working co-operatively with the federal government and the state agricultural college that the improve- ment in quality has been of even great- er importance. Purebreds have been shipped in every year in large num- bers, and great- interest has been shown in the use of purebred sires. There are now 48 bull asociations’ in these states. The latest census fig- ures available show there are 5,184| Lead of purebred dairy cattle in South | Carolina and 9,586 in Virginia. “Dairy development began 'in the southern states shortly after 1906,” said ‘one of the specialists, “but the| improvement whs slow at first. It was diflicult to convince growers in my territory that there was anything for them in dairying. But an object lesson was found that finally con- vinced hem. On cne side of a road was a field of cotton that yielded two bales per acre; on the other side a fieJd gave half a bale. The farm that grew two bales to the acre had kept cows for five years, and the manure had produced the change. Farmers| were, taken from miles around to see these two fields. | “This little demonstration illustrates | the purpose for.which dairy cows were BUT: Vi ThHe value of silage compared with rotienseed hulls was very striking, even in the diys when hulls were only §4 or’$5 a ton. A dairy farm near IXloxi, Miss, where 40 tons of silage were fed instead of cottonseed hulls, reported a saving of $250 for the win- ter. “From a local standpoint,” writes one of the federal agents of the dairy division, “the establishing of dairying in the boll-weevil districts of Mississip- pi has been one ,of the greatest achievements. Anyone acquainted with the despondency of farmers in 1912 in southern Mississippi, d who was enabled later to see the change wrought by the dairy cows, will agree that en- thusiasm for dairying is well founded in a region .that was floundering for some means of a lvelihood, now changed to a country in which the | farmers are supplying whole milk for New Orleans and other points.
