BETTER STOCK PRODUCTION IS URGED BREEDERS

Christie Advocates Adoption of Better. Management Methods on Indiana Farms. INDIANAPOLIS, March 20. Speaking before 600 members of the Indiana Beef and Dairy Cattle Breeders' associations, other stockmen and their guests from adjoining states at a banquet at Tomlinson hall last night, a forerunner of the state-wide live stock rally to be held today, O. I. Christie, assistant secretary of agriculture, made a plea for the keeping of more and better live stock on and the more general adoption of better management of Hoosier forms. His address, vrhfch was filled with stories of success taken from actual cases in this state, served as an inspiration for the keeping of more animals of a higher type. "More and better live stock will make Indiana agriculture more permanent and profitable," said Prof. Christie, "evidence from thousands of farms proves this statement. "Reports from the Bureau of Crop Estimates show an increase of 927,000 head of live stock on Indiana farms Jan. 1, 1919, over that of 1910. The placing of 40,000 silos on lloosier farms Is also conclusive proof that live stock - production is on the Increase. More Live Stock Needed.. "But more livestock should be kept to save a tremendous loss of soil fertility which is now being sold from farms in this state. During the last year farmers sold in corn, rye, oats, barley, hay and straw, fertility valued at more than $300.00,000. They bought back fertility in the form of commercial fertilizer to the extent of $5,000,-

000. While farmers might purchase a larger amount of . fertilizer to replace the fertility sold in crops, yet the humus content of the soil is not

replenished or maintained by such a

system. Live stock farming not only retains the fertility on the farm, but

aids in a direct and effective way in the soil. In this way will the production of the farms bo maintained and increased. "Livestock on many farms" will stand Improvement. It has been found that many farmers are supporting live stock that is not returning them market prices for the corn used. "A survey of 100 farms in Indiana reveals the fact that in 1917 farmers with ordinary or scrub stock made a labor income of $339 while farmers with stock of quality and good breeding secured an income of $1,201.

WILSON HALTS Continued From Page One. to their rigid primary purpose of preserving , Anglo-American solidarity. Once more, the French, who were called on as usual to make whatever material sacrifice was necessary, have made it with the utmost promptitude. The French sacrifice was twofold. They had been promised that before the end of March a preliminary peace would Bettle the question of their eastern frontiers, and they believed' it would give them at least a start in the direction of financial reparation. No Change in Terms. I do not understand that there is any question that the actual terms of what was to have been a preliminary treaty of peace have been challenged by Mr. Wilson. It may well be that Lloyd George and Clemenceau in conference with the president reached an agreement that postponement would not bring any such challenge, but this remains to be disclosed In the future. It would be inaccurate to say that Mr. Wilson had won a new victory, because he encountered no opposition, nor was there any thought on the part of either the French or the British to make even an indirect proposal to Republican opposition in America. The truth is that the British and the

French up to the moment of the president's arrival, believed he was in accord with what was being done. Once this was rather surprisingly disclosed to be a mistake, they promptly changed their plans to suit his desire. There is no gainsaying the fact that the change may bring real and widespread disappointment in Europe. The desire for some sort of preliminary arrangement which should at least make a real beginning in peace conditions and make it promptly was almost Incalculable. But if the desire is universal, recognition of the necessity of preserving the good will of America

is as generally existent; neither Lloyd George nor Clemenceau could afford to make issue over a question in which ttio nreairiont nf thn United States

manifested an inflexible determination

to press his own policy. . What Incident Illustrates. Knr ia it wian to conclude that be-

cause there will be a general disap- . . - . m J 1

polntment it there is a runner uemy, there will be enduring resentment. On the contrary, the whole episode illustrates what I have so often attempted to explain in my dispatches, namely the conviction in Europe that at all costs American wishes should be complied with; second the conviction that the president of the United States speaks the will of America. The truth is that so great was the desire in Europe for a prompt arrangement that not a few believed the president's course might arouse actual opposition. When no opposition materialized it was recognized that Mr. Wilson had resumed the position which he occupied at the outset, that his prestige had been" enhanced rather than decreased by the events of hi American visit. Now comes a great question: How long is postponement of the preliminary peace treaty to be expected? I am told by the American spokesman that the league of nations covenant can be in shape on Thursday, and that the wtinln trMtv ran be ready for the

Germans on Aprli 1. I am told in cer

tain other quarters tnai u wm De May 1 before the preliminary treaty is ready. Delay May Be Slight. If the treaty is ready by April 1, the delay will be slight, although it will at least momentarily interrupt British and French demobilization, which can not go much further until Germany is disarmed. If there be no treaty before May, it will mean deferring European hopes for at least five weeks One important circumstance is the future course of . Lloyd George. He was to go to England at the end of this week; his presence there was required by conditions growiDg out of the miners' strike. If he goes, decisions will necessrily wait on his return. But at least among Americans

there is great hope, and some expet that he will stay on. In sum, the situation is this: Mr. Wilson has upset a program. He and his American associates are striving desperately to pull the league of nations covenant together so that there may be no actual delay in the proceedings as a result of the change in program. They hope that they will sue-

ceed; they now declare that they expect to succeed, but we can not yet know whether their hopes will be realized. No Treaty Without League. The best one can say is that the American commission expects a preliminary peace which in all important respects will be the final treaty of peace to be signed by April 7. This

treaty will contain the covenant to

the league of nations and no treaty or armistice without the covenant is to be signed in the meantime. Thus Mr. Wilson will make good his declaration in his New York speech. All that Is problematical now is how long the delay incident to the change in program will be, and the American view Is that it will be inconsiderable.

SEVERE TEST SHOWS HOW. TO SAVE SHOES "A molder in our foundry wore a pair of shoes with Neolin Soles every day for ten months and two weeks both in the foundry, and to and from his work and they are just worn out." The Sessions Foundry Company of Bristol, Connecticut, makes this report on a pair of Neslin-soled molders' shoes given them for test. Neelin Soles have none of the shortcomings of other soles. They do not burn or crack under conditions such as these nor do they wear out quickly under the grind of abrasive materials. They are made by Science to be especially tough and durable, will stand the roughest kind of usage and so wear longer and save money. Moreover, they are comfortable and waterproof. You can get them on new shoes in many styles for men, women and childrenor as re-soles. They are manufactured by The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co., Akron, Ohio, who also make Wingfoot Heels guaranteed to outwear all other heels. fleolin Soles Y!ti Mark ttem. U.S. Pat. Off.
