REPUBLICAN PRIMARIES CENTER INTEREST We Can Yet Seldom Has Presidential Cam paign Been More Doubtful By CHARLES P. STEWART .... WASHINGTON, Aug. 12.—1 f La Follette and Wheeler gets as many Democratic votes as the Re publicans predict, and if the/ get as many Republican votes as the Democrats say they will then the Progressive stand a first-class cfiance to win. However, the Republicans deny that the Progressives will draw very heavy from their tickets; the Democrats deny that the inde pendents will draw very heavily from theirs. So there you are. Never probably was there so doubtful a presidential campaign as this year’s. The 1912 fight was a triangle, but the third element which entered into it was the result of a one-party split. This year the third element is made up of candi dates from both the old parties. In lowa there is talk of the can didacy of John T. Adams, recently chairman of the Republican Nation al Committee —as an independent against Senator Brookhart, but really with Republican support. - Republicans, however are opti mistic and on the basis of their def inite unqualified claim to say noth ing of that for which they hope, they would have 281 electoral votes or 15 more than necessary for ai “majority over all.” Democrats, however, claim 189 electoral votes at the start. With such a nucleus they would win if they could capture New York and one other state. The Progressives claim ten states for a total of 80 electoral votes and have great hopes of landing five more states. In the remainder of the country they make no conces sions to either of the old-line par ties whatever, simply saying they will surprise them both every where. At all events, the element of doubt is very large. Take the following list of the states* electoral votes and apply them to the accompanying map. You will then see what claims are made by the various political groups. Your guess on a winner will probably be as close as the oili er fellow’s.

PRICE FIVE CENTS PLAN IHERRIOTWILLIIIGTO j QUIT RUHR WITHIN I nim'Tissi French Premier Not Ready to Evacuate Occupied Industrial Area of Germany Now OBSTACLE IS PRESENTED Whole Work of Conference is Held Up While Delegates Discuss Vexed Situation LONDON, August 12. The Ruhr evacuation question is being threshed out between German and allied delegates in priv'ate inter views. Premier Ilerriot is under stood to be willing for the evacu ation within 11 months. While M. Hcrriot is supposed to have returned from Paris with au thority to agree to the Ruhr evacua tion within eleven months, the question of when evacuation will begin and the details of its execu tion, including the desire of the French and Belgian;;, English and Germans before the conference can proceed in a definite way with the program for instituting the Dawes plan. Reports from all three commit tees of the conference have been agreed to in principle, but the jur ists are busy studying and editing the protocols, which are not yet in final form.

Iffl IS fflf IS PHI IKK ‘Hogging Down Crops’ Shown By Experiments to Be Valu able Method, Says Marshall Now is the’time for the farmer to consider how he is going to finish his hogs this fall, and what method of feeding he is going to practice. Careful experiments have shown that hogging down crops is an eeo nimical method of fattening hogs. The average of sixt trials where hogs were f< d ear corn and tankage or wheat middlings in dry lot com pared with hogging down corn, shows that the hogs in dry lot gain ed 1.50 pounds per pig per day and required 511 pounds of feed per 100 pounds gain, while the hogs that were allowed to gather their feed gained 1.59 pounds per pig per day, and required only 478 pounds of feed per 100 pounds gain. When the crop is removed much of thu fertilizer value is lost; but when it is grazed about three-fourths of the plant food is returned to the soil, according to Ceorge O. Marshall, county farm demonstration agent. A great many farmers make tne mistake of not balancing the ration When edrn is to be hogged down it) is always advisable to grow some supplemental feed along with thu corn. Soybeans and velvet beans are our best crops for this purpose. In the case of corn and soybeans the hogs will balance their ration fairly well, but in the case of velvet beans, the hogs may eat the corn first and leave the beans alone to be grazed later. In this case some of the corn may be gathered and fed io the hogs latet. If the hogs are given free access to a mineral mixture, feeding value will be added to these crops. It is possible in Georgia to arrange forage crops so that hogs may be turned on thu fields for a period of time and turn ed out later ready for the market without having been hand-fed a single day during the entire finish-* ing period.
