Copies of the document were not only distributed in the churches of Rome, but also were sent out of the country by special couriers which action drew Fascist ridicule. News Review of Current Events the World Over Alfalfa Favored as Legume Hay Superior r ? . . i. - i. . i," A.7" Contains Most Protein and Lime;: Says Expert. .m Good legume hays are excellent feeds, because they contain a high percentage of protein and lime, says EL P.' Reed, extension specialist in soils and crops at the Ohio State university. A ton of alfalfa, he .points out, con- tains 212 pounds of crude digestible protein and 51 pounds of lime. A ton of red clover contains 152 pounds of digestible crude protein and 43.2 pounds of lime; a ton of sweet clover, .200 pounds of digestible crude protein and 51.2 pounds of lime, and a ton of timothy .contains only 60 pounds of digestible crude protein and 4 pounds' of lime. - The most practical method of making hay in Ohio, Reed believes, is found in the windrow method. After the hay is cut, it should be left in the swath until well wilted. It is then raked into small windrows with a side delivery rake. The small windrow permits uniform drying of both stems and leaves and there is a minimum loss of leaf. To complete the curing process, the windrow should be turned at least once each day until dry enough for storage. As the top of the windrow dries, turn it over on dry ground so that the under surface is exposed. If the hay becomes wet from rain, the same process of curing and drying is recommended, except that the turning should be more frequent. When the hay is sufficiently dry it is most efficiently taken up with a web hay loader rather than the push arm type which knocks off many of the ; leaves. Will Increase Yields . By EDWARD W. PICKARD Mutual liming worthwhile? Frank Moore, Clay county, Illinois, contends the man who is farming sour soil will be doing something else ten years from now if he doesnt lime. He has been a lime and legume convert iever since he moved to that flat land farm in the central part of the state 13 years ago. At that time he harvested 10 to 20 bushels of corn to the acre. Now his yields are 45 bushels. Lime and sweet clover will make this prairie land produce better than the timber land of the same region, said Mr. Moore. The only time lime fails is on the place where the owner is always going to apply it It wont do any good if it isnt spread on the land. Mr. Moore contends that it is better to buy the flat, sour land at a low price than to pay the going price for highly productive land in other parts of the state at the figure it commands. Raspberry Worm This raspberry fruit worm is the larva of a beetle about of an inch long. These beetles do some damage themselves In eating the flower buds and leaves, besides laying the eggs which hatch into these worms that live in the fruit. The best method of control is to spray before the flowers open with arsenate of lead, 2V2 pounds to 100 gallons of water. Cultivation of the ground under the plants will also help In destroying the pupal form of this insect which winters in the ground near the plant. one-seven- Soybeans Immune Fortunately the . soybean, together with all other legumes, is immune from chinch bug attacks. If land next to wheat is not planted it would be well to put in soybeans. The beans likely will be at least as profitable as corn. While it is profitable and practical to construct a barrier to protect corn and sorghum crops from chinch bugs yet this barrier will require considerable time and some expense. bug-infeste- d by the United States and France, obtained by clever negotiation, resulted In the acceptance of the Hoover moratorium plan in by the principle French government. All other important nations Already had accepted, so President Julius Curtlus Hoover announced that the plan might be considered as in effect as of date of July 1. ' i Brefly summarized, the agreement provides that debtor governments shall be relieved of payments due between July 1, 1931, and July 1, 1932, aggregating approximately 800 millions of dollars. Germany will be relieved of reparations payments to the former allied and associated governments totaling nearly 400 millions of dollars. Great Britain, France, Italy, Belgium, and other debtors will be relieved of war debt payments approximating 400 millions. The greatest sacrifice will be made by the United States, which will forego war debt receipts totaling 260 millions. Beginning July 1, 1933, the deferred reparations and war debt payments will be paid in installments during a period, in addition to the regular current payments. Payment by Germany of conditional reparations totaling 243 millions will be unreservedly suspended. Germany will be required, however, to pay the unconditional reparations, amounting to $130,600,000, with the understanding that this amount in full will be loaned back to Germany. A loan of about 25 millions will be made to Central European countries If necessary by the federal reserve banks of the United States and European central banks. The accord reached was entirely satisfactory to both the Americans and the French. President Hoover gained his chief point, the gist of the whole plan, for Germany does not have to pay any international debts for one year. The French statesmen congratulate themselves because the accord calls for the moral support of the signatories in getting a private loan for Frances central European friends, and lays upon Germany moral responsibility for not using her moratorium saving for armaments. Foreign Secretary Julius Curtius and Chancellor Bruening of Germany, of course, are pleased beyond expression, and the former paid warm tribute to the work accomplished in Paris by Secretary Mellon. The German press, however, professes to be disgusted with the compromise, several Influential papers declaring that it wrecks the plan entirely. In concluding his announcement of Hoover the agreement. President touched on the question of world disarmament, which he considers the second feature of his program for restoring economic prosperity. ten-ye- Lime and Sweet Clover Is Hoover Moratorium Plan, With French Modifications, in Effect Great Britain Calls Conference to Work Out Details. ar ably seconded Mr. HAVING effort to bring about the moratorium, the British government called a conference of the powers to work out the details of the plan. The premiers and foreign ministers are to meet In London, and It is expected Secretary Stimson will participate as an official observer when he reaches ' England. This conference will meet from time to time for several months, it is understood, and may continue to function for several years. PRESIDENT came out in the open in earnest opposition to the policies of the federal farm board, and, in company with Senator Arthur Capper of Kansas, went before Chairman Stone' and Carl Williams of the board to urge that it change its stand its wheat holdings. The two Kansans argued for hours that this wheat should not be put on the market until the price reached 85 cents, but Mr. Stone refused to make any such pledge. He did state, however, that the board would not offer any of Its wheat at the present low prices. But he made VICE Shear sheep only when the wool is dry. Damp wool will' spoil.

Mr. Curtis activity In the controversy over the boards wheat holdings has been interpreted as Indicating a desire on his part to avoid renomination for the vice presidency and to run for the Kansas senator-shiwhich he formerly held. When asked about his political plans, he replied Theyll not get anything out of me for at least three months. Senator Watson of Indiana, Republican leader of the senate, also has been trying to influence the farm board, arguing for 92 cents, which is said to be the average price paid by the stabilization corporation for its wheat, as the figure below which the board should not sell. Senator William E. Borah, insurgent Republican of Idaho and chairman of the agricultural committee named at the progressive conference last March, has insisted that the board defer all sales until wheat goes to $1.25. p OECRETARY OF STATE STIMSON is having a pleasanter time on his European vacation than, has fallen to the lot of Secretary of the Treasury Mellon. Starting too late to get mixed up in the moratorium negotiations, Mr. Stimson arrived at Naples Tuesday on the steamship Conte Grande, accompanied by Mrs. Stimson. He was met by Ambassador Garrett.- and, following a visit to Pompeii and Herculaneum, went to Rome by automobile. Thurday evening he called on Premier Mussolini at the Palazzo Venezia and later met him at a dinner given by the American embassy. In Mr. s honor the ruins of the ancient Roman Forum, just beyond the e hill, were brilliantly lighted up at night. The secretarys European vacation will last two months and he will devote considerable time to an investigation of conditions on the continent. - Stim-son- Capi-tolin- JOSEPH L rR. L' France, former United States senator from Maryland, evidently was in deadly earnest when recently he announced that he was a candidate for the Republican nomination for the Presidency in 1932. Already he has started on his summer campaign, and his many friends are helping to the extent of their powers. The doings began with a public meeting at Mount Ararat farms, the doctors country estate In Cecil county, Maryland. Very soon, it is expected, he will make a tour through the grain states of the West. Assisting France in getting his campaign under way are Jonathan Bourne, former senator from Oregon and head of the Republican publicity bureau during the Wilson administration, and Lyle Rader, who is described as a prominent New York chemist and Bible speaker. Doctor France says that on his trip in the West he will give bis reasons for seeking the Presidential nomination and will discuss the grave world crisis and its remedy through the application of the principle of righteousness to economic, social and International problems. i. It is un-derstood In Rome that Pope Pius and T-HO- A Premier Mussolini have both decided to avoid any precipitate action in their controversy, they continue to hammer at each other with encyclicals and newspaper articles. The pope steadily maintains that the church is suffering persecution at the hands of the Fascist rulers of Italy, but for the present at least he will not consider the withdrawal of the papal nuncio to Rome, Mgr. The nuncio, for his part, has been doing all he could to bring about a peaceful settlement of the quarrel.

It was declared by the speakers that the St. Lawrence canal was considered only because the farmers of the Middle West wanted it for an outlet for their surplus grain, and Mr. Fish said the Russian wheat situation now makes the building of a ship canal through Canada a fantastic myth.
