KELLOGG SUGGESTS EXCHANGE OF VIEWS ON COURT MATTERS Says Proposed Protocol Adopt- ed in 1926 Does Not Give U. S. Protection Washington, Feb. 20-—4~M)—A ~ gestion has been made by Secretary Kellogg to the world court nations that an informal exchange of views be:reen themselves might lead to an agreement upon some provision which in unobjectionable form would pro- tect the rights and interests of the United States as an adherent to the court statute. terday to the representatives of the world court nations Mr. Kellogg said the proposed protocol regarding ad- herence of the United States, adopted by these nations in 1926, would not furnish adequate protection of the rights and interests of this country. There seemed to be little difference regarding the substance of these rights and interests, he said. The protocol gave court members the right to withdraw their approval at some future time of the fifth res- ervation made by the United States for this country’s adherence to the court. The fifth reservation prevents the court from accepting requests for advisory opinions on disputes in nich the United States “has or ims an interest.” Twenty-four governments belong- i-3 to the world court accepted this Protocol, but the United States balked at the stipulation which gave court membérs the right to withdraw ap- proval of the reservation. Cecretary Kellogg in identic notes delivered to Washington diplomatic representatives of the nations con- cerned said: “The government of the United States feels such an exchange of informal views as is contemplated by the 24 governments should, as herein suggested, lead to agreement upon some provision which in unob- jectionable form would protect the rights and interests of the United States as an adherent to the court statute, and this expectation is strongly supported by the fact that there seems to be little difference re- garding the substance of these rights and interests.” Kilauea Active Again, Spouts Voleanic Fire Hilo, Hawaii, Feb. 20—(#)—Kilauca, world’s largest active volcano, began erupting early today.

Johnson, general agricultural agent of the Soo Line, today issucti warning to North Dakota durum wheat growers in northern counti:s that many lots of seed wheat grows i very poorly. Acting promptly on ru- mors that many lots of seed wheat showed poor germination, the Soo ag- ricultural department, cooperating with local elevator managers through- out the northern part of North Da- kota, nas been quietly collecting rep- resentative samples of duruin seed wheat from scattered points along the Soo Line in Ward, Burke, Renviiic, Eottineau, Rolette, Benson, Rais Towner and Cavalier counties. Tests of these samples indicat? that pns- sibly 50 per cent of the durum sced wheat will ¢ 2w too poorly to be used for seed. At one point in Ward county 12 samples were collected and only one showed a germination of 85 per cent or better. Several sumples in this lot showed over 60 kerne's out of 100 to be dead. Wide Survey Being Made A thorough survey of most of the Soo Line territory in North Dakota and parts of Minnesota is now well under way. Local Soo agents and ele- vator managers are cooperating in collecting representative samples. The Soo agricultural department, aide] by the line elevator companies, is testing these samples to ¢-termine the actual situation at all points. This survey is undertaken for a double purpose: first, to determine the general seed condition at east point, and second, to locate those lots of seed wheat which grow well enough to be cons:dered for use as seed. Mr. Johnson, in discuss- ing the situation, said: “I think it is possible in virtually all communities to find enough lots of good seed to replace those of poor Burns received from a can of flam- | germina .on. We have asked’ all cle- vator amen to cooperate with us and help locate lots cf,seed. wheat that canbe shipped to points at which we do not locate enough secd.” ‘Test—Don’t Guess The slogan “Test—dor.'t guess” has been adopted for the campaign. Any farmer can easily try ct his own seed to sce if it will grow. Many fac- tors may cause poor germination of seed wheat. Early frost before wheat: is mature is one of the most common and also the most: serious, as the ex- tent of the demage is frequen‘:.; not evident to the average eye. Some dis- eases like root-rot or pink scab may affect germination. Sprouting or heating in the shdck, or storage, and especially heating in Rorage when threshed before dry enough to keep, all have effect on germinetion.
