The problem of soft pork is one of the most important'now confronting the hog growers of the United States. That a more definite knowledge of this question might be available Congress has appropriated $20,000 to be used by the United States Department of Agriculture for a study of this question. It is the inI tention of the department to make a +hf? effect of feed OUUUjr & ?? ing both peanuts' and soy beans tc hogs. Possibility of hardening hogs fed on these feeds will be looked inV to to determine the maximum amounl 11 that may be fed in conjunction wit! | other feeds and still produce hare I pork. The department hopes bj close study, covering a large numbei 'j of hogs and several years' time, tc r; determine some facts and solve some i1 problems that are now facing the lj American farmer, because of the rej duced price paid at the central mar! kets for hogs supposed to be soft, I Many of the agricultural experiment !( stations will cooperate closely with |j the department in these studies. I j FARMERS' WEEK NOTES. i Ciemson College, July 29.?This issue of the Weekly News Notes goes to pres when the Farmers' Week j program is only half completed, but the success of the first two days in, iicates that the entire period and I program is going to be even more of a success than was anticipated. So far several hundred farmers have been present, many driving in for the day only, and many registered and quartered in the dormitories for most if not all of the week. Remarks on the beauty of the campus and the scope of the work of the college are heard on every side from those who have not visited the institution before. An important phase of the benefit derived by those attending is in the many personal and group con| ferences with the specialists of the I college. The tractor demonstration given on Tuesday and Wednesday after* # i v _ 1.1 noons drew Dig crowds ior ine xaoor i situation is forcing farmers into power farming. Big crowds are to be found at aH hours around the displays of farm machinery. The audiences at the morning lectures and discussions have followed attentively and have been eager for information, especially in regard to livestock and other means of diversifying. The address by Editor Clarence Poe on cooperation among farmer's was heard by at least 500 farmers and was most nterestng and beneficial. That the boll weevil is now considered the "black beast" of South Carolina farmers is evident from re marks and discussions heard on aiii sides and from the eagerness with which they seek for and listen to j what the specialste have to say, about the pest. sunstroke" in horses. Clemson College, July 29.?Sun-j stroke, a disorder of the nexvous system caused by exposure to the direct rays of the sun, is likely to cause trouble in hot weather, says the veterinary division. In severe cases, death is sudden, due to paralysis of the nerve centers in the brain controlling the respira-| tion and circulation. In the less severe cases, there may ibe marked excitement, the animal bseoming uncontrollable; or the opposite condition may be present, the animal appearing sleepy and depressed As the condition occurs ir. the open, and usually while he animal is at hard work, the first step is to get the animal in a cool shady spot out of doors. If there is excitement, all precautions should be taken to prevent the animal injuring itself. Then cold water, or better still, ice should be ! applied to the head If ice is not j available, it is well to turn the garden hose on the animal's head. The I cold water tends to relieve the con | gested condition of the brain and I the colder the better. The water j should not be applied all over the I body, but only to the head. i The animal should not be drenchi ed, for he is likely to be unconscious and the drench will, in that case, pass into the lungs where it j may set up a fatal inflammation. | Following sunstroke the animal | should be rested for several days, j and brought back to hard work 1 gradually. C. E. HUGHES FAVORS LEAGUE OF NATIONS WITH RESERVATIONS Wasmngton, JUiy zs.?^naries E. Hughes, Republican candidate in the last presidential election, has 3 drawn up a resolution whiah he of- J n fers for adoption by the United;u i States senate, consenting to the in- * elusion of the League of Nations s i covenant in the peace treaty, but ^ suggesting four reservations to pre- ^ > vent "sacrificing the essential inter- 0 i ests of the United States." ^ This became known today whenj ; correspondence between Mr. Hughes1 a i and Senator Frederick Hale, Repub-' ^ Ijlican, of Maine, dealing with ratifi-j*1 r cation of the treaty, was made pub- c lie. | ? J While finding ambiguities in Ar-j" !. ticles I and XV, dealing, respective-^ i ly, with withdrawal form the league j h and questions of purely a domestic jc nature, Mr. Hughes takes chief ex- 6 , ception to articles XXI and X, which P ; concern the Monroe doctrine and the i liaibiiity of the United States to provde armed forces to protect other ^ members of the league. j d The "descriptive phrase" employ- 0 ed in connection with the Monroe doctrine is said toy Mr. Hughes to be b ' "inaccurate", while article X is Cl branded by ihim as a "trouble breeder," which, if not eliminated, should S be thoroughly interpreted. Any "reservations," Mr. Hughes added, should be incorporated in "the instrument of ratification" to make it valid, but the fact that such reser-j^ vations are made should not lead to ^ the assumption that the treaty would ^ have to resume operations. ? P EX-PREMIER OF FRANCE DENIES SEEKING PEACE 2U Paris, July 28.?"A distortion of C( the truth" was the characterization rc applied today by Alexandre Ribot ^ to the recent statement by Mathias Erzberger, German finance minister, j declaring that Great Britain and (Jj | France made peace overtures to Ger- ^ I many through the Vatican in 1917, I which Germany rejected. M. Ribot, J ^ who was French premier and for-1 eign minister at the time in ques-j 1 tion, made this declaration in a; statement to Marcel Hutin, of the Echo de Paris. The former premier j ? explained the occurrence as follows: Pope Benedict, in August, 1917,! suggested proposals to serve as a basis for overtures to Germany.) France and Great Britain iboth de-! cided to decline the proposals. The1 political acknowledgement was made' to the pope, but nothing: more. The British miniver to the Vatican, in J his own name, pointed out that the' proposals did not contain sufficient, guarantees for Belgium. Cardinal Gasparri, the papal secretary of fl state, M. Ribot continued, seized I upon this to telegraph Germany for,B explanations ^on the subject of Bel- I gium. It was an attempt to start | a conversation, M. Ribot declared,! but the British government cut it. JAPAN NOT READY TO MAKE REPLY ON KIACHAU QUESTION Washington, July 28w?Japan is not yet ready to make a public state- j ment of her intentions with respect i to the return of Kiachau, tout will do | so in due course. This does not mean j that eventually the whole Shantung] miAafinn will not be cleared up in!

Japan's diplomatic representative ! here, Carge 'daffairs Debucthi, went 1 to the department of state today but neither he nor officials at the' j department would make a statement] #^ 4-Via !

Though Mr. Lansing said nothing afterwards 2 ! senators on (Japitoi mu gave repurt- ?

I BLAME ON SUPERIORS I \ New York, July 29.?Resp n?ibilty for cruel treatment of A ,can g oldiers at prison farm numbi two, i ear Paris, were placed sq iarely t pon the shoulders of Major G .eral S. Strong and Colonel E. P. Grim- [ tead, by Lieutenant Frand H. (Hard v toiled) Smith, in testimony given i y him today before a subcommittee r f the house of representatives at c Governor's Island. p Former Sergeant Clarence Ball, nd a third prisoner at Fort Jay, a Governors Island, were other wit- ^ esses called befoe the house subommittee, headed by Congressman a loyal C. Johnson, of South Dakota, a lvestigating prison conditions in the Lmerican expeditionary forces at its J ~ earings begun here today. The ommittee is to sail for France Au-j U3t 7 to continue its inquiry into rison conditions there. I While these three prisoners were' lie only witnesses called in advance, : is explained that the hearings will evelop disclosures that will bring | ther inmates of "the castle" to the iand. It is said there are a numer there who are in the prison camp ommanded by Smith and Ball. AYS CARRANZA IS NO CHAMPION OF THE PEOPLE Washington, July 28.?Misled in leir investigation of conditions in [exico, William Bayard Hale, and incoln Steffens in turn misled Presi;nt Hilson into believing that resident Carranza was the "people's iampion,"'the house rules commitse wa^ told today by Hilliam Gates, i archaelogist of Baltimore. The >mmittee is holding hearings on a solution proposing investigations : the Mexican situaton. Declaring that his opinions were ise<? on a first-iand study of contions when he toured Mexico in )17 and 1918, Gates described Car- I tnza as "an enemy of his own peo- I e first, the United States second, I id then all civilization."

Gates said that after their investigations in Mexico for the president, lale and Steffens were employed by he Germans. The American people are not well nformed of affairs in Mexico, the witness said, because American dipomats are able to talk only to Car anza representatives and the Algerian press has received Carranza tropaganda.

Gates said it was well known in Mexico that the Germans had a wireless near Mexico City during the v/ar relaying messages to Spain and thence to Nauen, and that there was another wireless station on a German-owned plantation in a distant Mexican state. He said that he informed Secretary Baker of the wire less stations in 1918 and had written him several letters regarding his investigations in Mexico. Because of the close friendship with the secretary, he asked the committee not to request him to make public thie letters, saying they contained ^jnany statements made only because of the close relationship between himself and Mr. Baker. ! ~ -v: .itfi'.yS \ 1 ERSALCAR ' M Si* 3 economy in using tuck that there is in ' ?only the larger >f the truck comlends it particular- . r to farmers, and bher business men. he famous Model motor assures re-. able power, and langanese bronze 5 certain the use of le three-point susbility, and vanadi.
