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.

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. The opinion now
seen.s general in conference cir
cles that the outcome will be defi
nitely settled by Thursday or Fri
day, and the majority opinion is
decidedly optimistic respecting the
results.
The reparations conference has
finally shaken itself down to the
difficult question of the Ruhr
evacuation and the leaders are at
tempting in private interviews to
effect a settlement of this acute
political problem, which really is
not on the agenda of the confer
ence.
M. Il'erriot, the French premier,
had a long interview today with. Dr.
Stresemann, the German foreign
minister. Chancellor Marx and Dr.
Stresemann called on 11. Theunis,
the Belgian premier, and the lead
ing German delegates also confer
red with Ramsay MacDonald, the

‘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. ( _
