News Review of Current Events the World Over Sino-Japanese Row Provides Severe Test for League of Nations —Chancellor Bruening Defies Fascists and Reds. By EDWARD W. PICKARD

REAL war between ’China and Japan became during the week more of a probability than a threat. Moreover, the situation in the Far

East developed into a I crucial’ test of the worth of the League of Stations aS an organization for 'the preservation of peace, I and made likely an equally important test Los the value of the multilateral Kellogg treaty i'qinnlng war. It Wilk believed that. if the efforts of the council failed, the United States and the JeagUe would in-

Alfred Sze. Chinese representative, and Kenkicht Yoshizawa. Japanese delegate, spoke at length. The former demanded Immediate action by the league, declaring that a miscarriage of Justice would jeopardize the faith of the world’in.Geneva and doom to failure the International disarmament conference next February. Yoshizawa countered by explaining and defending Japan's a.-turns in Mate l.'.iria, and reiterate*! the. intention of hi* gov erament t<> permit no outside inter vention in the dispute. He said the matter could be settled only by direct negotiation* between Japan. ami China. Doctor Sze replied: "(’ltina will never ug/ve to such a course so. long I aa Japanese troops Invade her soil and until Japan makes Just repara tions for the Ins* of Chinese lives and property."

Marshal Chang was moving his troops to strategic points, and evidently was hacked up by President Chiang Kai-shek, who has declared himself prepared to go to war with Japan if the efforts of t* ■ league and the United States*, are (utile. SPAIN’S national assembly t»; an overwhelming vote adopted an article in the new constitution ■ the republic which declares that “no state religion exists." Thus was the Catholic church divorced from Its union with the state which has existed for many’ centuries. The article alsobans the church from engaging in commercial, industrial and educational activities. Another article which would dissolve all church orders Nvas rejected, but one Was adopted that provides for the expulsion* of all Jesuits from Spain, to take place when the constitution goes into effect. Only the Socialist radicals insisted on the wholesale expulsion of monks'and nuns. The action of the Cortes was followed by antl-clerica! demonstrations in a number of citfta, and at Santander an attempt wa. made to burn a Carmelite convent. Not in sympathy with against the ( . • . r decs, President Zamora resigned and Minister of Wat*Manuel Asana became head of the government. Incorporated under the laws of Delaware, the National Credit corporation was prepared to go ahead with its mission of assisting banks throughout the country “to utilise their resources to further the stabilization of financial and economic conditions" The corporation has 12 directors, «• from each federal reserve

district, and each of them holds one of the 12 shares of SIOO par value. The funds within which the corporation will operate will be raised through the sale of debentures tot the banks of the country on the basis . of 2 per cent of their aggregate! deposits, or the legal limit of investments, If that Is lower. , j These deposits aggregate $43,000,000,000. Corporations and private banking firms are expected to subscribe for the debentures also and it is possible that the total funds raised for the corporation will approximate $1,000,000,000. Administration officials in Washington believe agriculture will share indirectly but largely in the benefits from the operations of the corporation. Hanks In agricultural sections will be enabled-to realize on frozen asset* through services of the tanking pool. Credit thus will be made available to put banks in a better position to lend for agriculturn' as well as other purjs.ses. At the same time banks will be enable*! to ease up on their demands. which will re act In turn to lessen the pressure upon farmers and live stock producers who have obligations outstanding PRESIDENT HOOVER and bit ad • visers were studying various plans for the relief of the railroads, but nothing was decided on. and if tie interstate commerce commission grants the increase in freight rales the mads ask. no further steps for helping the railways are likely to be taken before congress meets. -■ Chancellor bruening jar Ger Domic dictator of his country.

Long of Louisiana and Lieut Gov. PauKN. Cyr. Though elected on the same ticket, the two men have been personal and political enemies, and ' Cyr has tried repeatedly to get Long out of the office. His latest coup was to take the oath of office as governor on the claim that Long was a United States senator and therefore not gov-

eroor. This he did at Shreveport, and Long, who was in New Orleans, heard Cyr was moving on Batcn Rouge, the state capital He raced back by automobile and called out part of the National Guard to repel invasion, but the report of Cyr's march proving unfounded, the militia were sent home. Cyr repaired to his home In southern Louisiana after sending a letter to Long formally demanding surrender of the governor’s chair. He said if Long refused he would begin ouster proceedings. A T THE time of writing it is still unknown whom Governor Larson of New Jersey will appoint to the senate seat left vacant by the death

of Dwight Morrow. I One of the leading possibilities is Ed- | ward C. Stokes, who was governor of New Jersey in 1905-1908. and has always been active in Republican politics of the state. He is a banker and resides in Trenton. The governor was urged to name Mrs. Morrow by many advisers. and A. Harry

Goldfiurst was convicted of using- the mails to defraud, was sent to Atlanta penitentiary in Oc- I tober, 193 ft, and last July it was an- j nounced that he would be paroled on ■ April 15. 1953. The Virginia senator said it was reported that a conference had been held t»etween Goldhurst, Bishop Cannon. and an unnamed New York politician. and that subsequently Goldhurst changed his plea of not guilty to one of guilty.

He did hot have an advance agent to do hi 3 advertising, neither did he have his photograph put in the (daily paper will- a sensational announcement upon his arrival at Corinth. His method of gaining a foothold in Corinth was: 1, Finding a home (v. 7). This he found with Aquila and Priscilla. Jews who were recently expelled from Rome by the cruel edict of Claudius. 2. He toiled for his daily bread (v. 3). He was of the same craft with his hosts, who were tent makers. Every child among the Jews was taught Some trade by means of which he could gain a Hveli'iond should occasion require. Missionaries and Christian workers today should not be above honest toil, i . U. Preaching in the Synagogue at Corinth (vv. 4-S). 1. Though compelled t|o toll for a living while getting a foothold In Corinth, he did not lose sight of his main work (v. 4). He reasoned in the synagogue every Sabbath, persuading the Jews and the Greeks. 2. His activity was increased when Silas and Timothy came (v. 5). which resulted from three cansjes: a. They brought good news from the church at Thessalonb a (1 Thess. 3:6). To hear of the steadfastness of those who had confessed Clufist under his minisiry put new vigor into his labors. b. They brought pejeuniary gins from the Macedonian church (Phil. 4:15; Il Cor. 11:9). Bring relieved from the necessity of toliling for a living. he could now devb'e more time and energy to the preaching of the gospel. c. Silas and Timothy became assistants to Paul in the work' 3. Pau! opposed (vJ 6). His increased activity was met with increased opposition. As the Lord’s ministers liecome more agglressive in their work, the ministers of patan pnt**Yorth corresponding efforts in opposition. 4. Paul announces bi* purpose to turn to the Gentiles (vj 6), because of , the blasphemy and opposition of the 1 Jews. 5. He did not go fur away (v. 7). He remained sufficiently near those whose hearts God had touched so that I they could easily find him. I 6. His success (v. 8). Crispus, the chief ruler of the synagogue, was converted. Perhaps Paul's severity in t turning away from them moved Crispus to act.\ Pressure to an immediate decision is. helpful to some. They realize that it is now or never.

Paul varied frotn his usual cus-, tom and baptized Cfispus. who was i an Important man (1 Cor. 1:14). 111, Paul's Vision (vv. 9-11). ; His experiences since coming to Europe were very trying. He needed encouragement at this time. It is just like the Lord to,e<>me at the time of the servant’s greatest need. Note the Lord’s words’to him 1. "Be not afraid.” When one Is executing the commission of the Lord he need not be afraid. 2. "Speak and hold not thy peace." The one who has heard the voice of God cannot refrain from spewing. 3. "I am with thtje ” The Lord is with everyone who faithfully carries OUt his command. | 4. "No man shaP set on thee to hurt I thee.” The one sept by the laird to ■. do a work is immune from harm until | his work is done. 5 “I have much people in this city." ; It te most encouraging to know that j in the great cities the Lonl has his 1 own people and that the one who goes ; in his name shall have fruit for his service IV. Paul Before Gallio (vv. 12-17). 1. The charge against him (v. 13). i They accused him of persuading men i to worship God contrary to the law. 2. Gallio’s decision (vv. 14-16). He ■ decided that It was not his concern to , settle disputes concerning matters of the Jewish law. 3. Sosthenes beaten (v. 17). In all probability he was leading tbe attack ui»on Paul. The Greeks seemed to have sympathized with Paul. Therefore, they turned against his enemy Keeping oa the Track The engine Is happy and safe when it keeps to the track, but It is useless and a wreck when It leaves the track. So It i« witb man.

TWO METHODS OF ELIMINATING LICE User Declares Pest Can Be Done Away With. Poultry lice is one oi the unnecessary evils which many farmers tolerate. The extermination of the lice is n<«t expensive nor complex. There are two practical methods which any housewife or farmer may use with every assurance of success. One of ' these is the use of an artificial dust- I bin in some dry, protected place. The breathing organs of the lice are small openings on the sides of «.he body. These openings are readily clogged with dust and if the hens have access to a dust-bin there will be little need of controlling lice in the poultry flock. The second method of eradicating i lice from a flock of poultry is a sodium fluoride dip. This dip is made by adding one ounce ot the powder, which may be purchased at.any drug store. ■ to one gallon of water. It. is a good plan to have the water slightly warmed before adding the powder. The birds may then be held with wing* over the back and submerged. While under the water the feathers must he ruffled several times. After wetting the birds thoroughly, hold the beak between the thumb and finger ■ mid dip the bird’s head under the water a time or two. It is a good plan to dip all of the birds in the flock when the weather is warm, and then provide the dust- j . bin the rest of the year. The writer has used this plan for several years and has found it successful.* —The Dairy Farmer. . i Rotation in Green Feed of Highest Importance The most successful poultry keeper will lytve no missing links in his yearly rotation for green feed. Be- j ginning with November, ear cabbage, swiss chard or New Zealand spinach .can often be used until December. Late cabbage can be fed until January. Green feed in succulent form is not i suitable, to feed when rhe, temperature in the poultry house goes much below freezing. Beginning with November, or even before, and until j May. the use of dried green feed In the form of high quality, immature cut alfalfa, red clover or soybean hay seems to be rhe best solution of the winter green-feed problem. After April or .May. dandelions, red clover and the blue grass or red clover range can he depended upon until July or August, when the chicken garden of early cabbage, swiss chard or New Zealand spinach comes in to make rhe final connecting link for the comple- , tlon of the vear.—Farm Journal. ' | Avoid Overcrowding Toe picking, cannibalism and feath- , er pulling are not due as much to a ( lack of something to eat as for a - lack of something to do and overcrowding, according to L. M. Hurd. Cornell university. Large numbers of chk-ks should | •not be kept together. Three hundred ' chicks are usually enough to keep in one lot oi house. A range on grass i and plenty of feeding space ar rhe i hoopers will do much to keep down bad habits. Sufficient space can be provided by affording one feeder three feet long'for each 100 chicks the first week. After the first week a feeder four feet long should be provided for each 100. Laying Hens Need Water Poultry experts tell us that lUO laying hen* will transpire about three to four gallons <»f water every 24 hours, and nonlaying hens and pullets about half that much. Although this seems hard to believe, it is this moisture -which forms the heavy coating of frost found on the Inside of the poultry house in t-old weather. The only way to eliminate such frost is to insulate thoroughly the walls by dead air spaces or sheet insulation in such a way that the inside wall will be kept from getting cold, and then to provide a straw loft or some other met flor of ventilation to remove the excess moisture. Incubation Planning Fresh laid eggs hatch in fewer flours and show more vitality than those kept longer before being set for incubation. although they can be kept up to two weeks with every expectation of a reasonable hatch. After that the vitality of the chick Is doubtful, although chicks have grown from ma turity that were hatched from eggs that were three months old. It Is claimed. Eggs that *re only one day old will hatch a day sooner than those tha» are two weeks old. Growth Without Forcing Body development in pullets should be assured before production commences. When chicks are batched in the normal season there is ample time to grow the bird te maturity before the winter. Animal protein can be greatly reduced until tbe pullets are matured. Normal development will assure body size and the absence of animal protein tn the mash will allow tbe pullets to grow without undue stimulation of the egg-producing organs. Wyandotte Chickens Silver-Laced Wyandotte* when first Introduced in 1879 were known as American Sebright*, but were admitted to the American Standard of Perfection In 1883 as Wyandotte*; later as Silver-Laced Wyandotte*. They were originated by crossing Sebright* with - black-and-yellow Chittagong fowls, the latter being Imported from Asia by New England sea captains. Hamburg and Dark Brahma crosses were also used, says a chicken fancier in the Philadelphia Ledger.

Danger of Poison in the Pastures Under Some Circumstances Plants Will Develop Prussic Acid. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.)—WNU Service. Some plants on which live stock are pastured may develop poisonous properties as a result oi drought, frost, wilting, or severe trampling. The department has investigated reports of live stock poisoning, and such plants as sudan grass, velvet grass, sorghum, and Johnson grass have been found to develop prussic acid when their growth is retarded by abnormal conditions such as those mentioned. Under normal conditions prussic acid is not found in any of these giants. Once animals have eaten plants containing prussic acid, there is tittle that the stockman can do. the department says. The poison acts quickly and very often the affected animal will die within half an hour. While lhere are a few remedies that are suggested for exceptional cases, they are usually of little avail after the animal has taken enough” of the injurious substance to ' cause symptoms to develop. Preventive -measures are advocated by the department as the best means of dealing with this condition. One precaution that may be taken is to feed stock a grain ration such as corn fetereta. milo, or alfalfa hay before turning them - into the suspected pas- , ture. i It is also possible to avoid the danger by mowing pastures known to be , unsafe and allowing the cut grass to dry thoroughly before pasturing. Ali though green sorghum, velvet grass and others that have had their growth stunted are dangerous,'the acid usually disappears when the crop is made into hay. Sorghums in the southern i states rarely develop pru«sic acid ! poisoning, but those in the North are i subject to it although the exact reason I for this is not known. -The sorghums have this poisonous tendency to a marked degree. Sudan grass also is frequently the cause of i poisoning. Flax is also dangerous ! if it is frozen before ripening fully. In the Northwest, in the flax-growing r regions, live stock men have been warned against the danger of animals ! eating flaxseed or straw from plants that dd not reach maturity. A list of the more important plants of the United States which develop i prussic acid when their growth is retarded includes: chockcherry, black cherry, sorghum. Johnson grass, arrowgrass, sudan grass, ,and velvet i grass. Effective Results With ■ “Blow Sand” Farm Land" Treating “blow sand" farm land with limestone and manure on the ; Oquawka experiment farm in Ilendhri son county. Illinois, has resulted in ! large.increases- in yields and'in profits ■ per acre. A profit of 515.75 an acre ; more than the-untreated land was the I average per year increase in five years. I If animal manure is not available. ; organic matter from leguriie crops i should be plowed under as often as ; possible, C. H. Farnham, assistant in i soil experiment fields, suggested. I Enough lime Should be applied so as j to take advantage of the maximum use j of alfalfa, and the clovers, Farnluim I stated. The rotation of the sand land which gave the best returns is corn, soy beans, rye, red clover-alfalfa hay. wheat with a sweet clover catch crop and alfalfa. The alfalfa Is sown and left for five years.—Prairie Farmer. Good in Cane Molasses The Ohio station seems to have found something new in the. nutritional value of cane molasses. White rats fed on nothing but whole milk until nutritional anemia was evidenced, had the hemoglobin content of their blood restored when cane molasses was added to the diet. Beet molasses did not prove effective in this respect. An analysis of the two kinds of molasses used in this trial resulted in a much higher content of iron and copper in the cane molasses. The greater amount of these two minerals in the cane molasses is thought to be the factor which gave the rats fe«l this- product .the better showing in the feeding trial. Wheat, SI Per Bushel Wheat fed to hogs In the spring brought $1 per bushel to O. C. Axtell, Castro county demonstrator in Sunnyside ommunity. By feeding 71 hogs in a self feeder with tankage and cotton seed meal, a market was found for SB4 bushels of ground wheat. The hogs gained I’A pounds for 140-dny feeding period. The original cost for 40-pound pigs was $373.20 ; 660 pounds cotton seed meal and 950 pounds tankage was $42.20: and the final selling price was $1,299, leaving SSSff.OO for wheat and labor.—Farm and Ranch. To Advertise Beans Pinto bean growers of Colorado and New Mexico are planning an advertising campaign to familiarize consumers everywhere witb their product. Production of pintos has increased rapidly the last two years and it is felt that consumers must be told about the benefits of the beans as a food product In order to create an adequate market. A small deduction will be made from each bag of beans sold to pay for the advertising.—Colorado State College Bulletin. • ■ Serviceable Pump Jack To reduce! speed discarded automobile transmissions serve well. Two or these can be placed in a series. One farmer uses two old motor car transmissions to reduce the speed of his electric motor sufficiently to pump water. By running these In reverse he gets 39 strokes per minute. By running them in low the strokes per minute are 56. By utilizing the clutch assembly stopping and starting facilities are provided.— Michigan Farmer.

DAIRY FACTS DAIRY HERDS SHOW VALUE OF SYSTEM Excellent Results Traced to Co-Operation. On January 1. 1931, according to information received from 2S states, ! there were 859 active co-operative j dairy bull associations in the United j States. This is 63 more associations i than were reported on January 1, 1939. I The associations have a total of 7.037 ■ members, who co-operatively own 1,609 pure-bred dairy bulls, which are bred : annually to more than 58.000 cows. One of the important features of these bull associations is the systei niatic exchange of bulls every two I years, making it possible to keep two : bulls in service, without the necessity of inbreeding, until the records of their daughters prove the bulls’ value. At the present time the bureau of dairy industry has the records of 84 bull association bulls that have been proved. Each of these bulls had five or more daughters whose yearly ntilk and butterfat records were compared j with the yearly milk and butterfat ! records of their dams. All told, the records of 725 daughters and dams i have been compared. The dams ti> 1 Which, these sires were mated, proi duced, on an average, 9,888 pounds . milk containing 355 pounds fat. The daughters produced, on an average, 10,304 pounds milk containing 414 i pounds fat. The daughters, therefore, I excelled the dams by 416 pounds, or 4.2 per cent, in milk production, and by 29 pounds, or 7.5 per Cent; in butterfat production. Tliis splendid increase in production of the daughters over such high producing dams shows that co-operative bull associations are accomplishing the purpose for which they were organized, namely, the building of better darty herds.; — Hoard’s Dairyman. Three-Teated Cows Not Worth Keeping in Herd There are probably no statistics available to. show how many cows j there are with only three teats. But . the number is large, much larger than it should he, declares the American Agriculturist. In the first place, there ; are few cows with three teats that are worth keeping; especially in these times. Such cows should be sold forthwith.. In the second place, we are convinced from our own experience that if a cow gets a caked.udder the inflammation and swelling, can be re- , -duced and the quarter saved if the owner will work hard enough. Most farmers, however, in the pressure of other work, will not take the infinite care and trouble that is necessary to save a caked udder. It can be done with almost no end of massaging, with the use of warm water and a good ointment. The most effective part of the cure is the rubbing. The i udder should have attention three or ! four times a day and the quarter should he carefully and thoroughly massaged each time for at least fifteen ] minutes —the longer the better. Which Grain? The dairyman is often faced with the problem of buying grains. Which should tie choose to keep his costs ( down? In this case tbtai nutrients are to- be purchased, for grains are ' added to the ration for that purpose. This time the cost per bushel or cost. i per ton should only guide us when it indicates the lowest cost per pound of ■ total digestible nutrients. For an ex- ; ample, corn may be purchased for 75 cents a bushel,- wheat for 70 cents. '! oats for 35 cents, and barley for 52 cents. At these prices one pound of total digestible nutrients in corn would cost 1.65 cents, in wheat 1.46 i cents, in oats 1-55 cents, and barley 1.36 cents. The dairyman now could ' • readily choose the cheapest milk producing grain .to buy* How Much Grass for Cow? How much grass is required in the cow’s daily diet? A test was coni ducted at the Huntley (Mont.) e.xperij merit station to answer the question, i One Holstein, which weighed 1,685 pounds, consumed 21S green ! pasture grass one day. The grass : was cut each day and weighed to a herd of cows on test. The average : consumption was 140 pounds a day , when the cows were given all they { would eat. It was found the cows . might eat a large amount of grass one ' day and rest the next with compare- , > I lively lbw consumption. J. R. Dawson, i who had charge of the experiment, esti- ’ j mated that an average consumption of 75 pounds would maintain production. Dairying in Canada The output of Canadian dairy factories in 1930 had a value of $127,184,513 of which creamery butter accounted for $57,177.798; factory cheese. $18,105,447; concentrated milk products, $10,039,369 and miscellaneous products $41,861,899. The number of • dairy factories in operation last year totaled 2,719 of which 1,200 were creameries, 1,202 cheese factories, 291 combined butter and cheese factories, and 26 concentrated milk plants, says a recently issued official report. Palatability of Fodder Palatability Is an Important factor in the value of a ration for dairy cows. Legume hay of a leafy nature with a green fresh appearance is much more readily consumed than when in a coarse, stemmy, bleached condition. That palatability has any, marked effect upon the actual, digestibility of ’ i the ration Is doubtful, but research work has proved that rations adequately supplied with mineral matter are more digestible than those in which a mineral deficiency exists.
