SIXTH DISTRICT MAY PASS OUT ; Lincoln, July 15. Though Ne braska may lose a congressional dis trict in the reapportionment next year, it won't be the Fourth, Con gressman Sloan ventured while In Lincoln Monday. The present Fourth, he said, may be dissected and parts of it added to other districts, but its identity will be retained. "Should any districts be dropped," the solon predicted, "it will be the Six'h, which is the last added." MEXICO AECHBISH0P TO CONFER WITH POPE Mexico City, July 17. Archbishop Francisco Orosco y Jimenez of Guda lajara will leave within three days for Rome to confer with Vatican of ficials, it was stated here today. The archbishop remained in hiding thru out the "Cristero" rebellion, reap pearing with a denial he had par ticipated in the armed movement. Louisville, Ky. Dairying, accord ing to bankers who ought to know, is a formidable, but friendly, rival of industry in promoting the prosperty of the "New South." Here in the state which numbers more dairy cows than any other in the South, among them the champion 3-year-old butterfat producer of the world and the champion county group of hei fers, the extroordinary strides which dairying has taken in the territory, below the Ohio and Potomac Rivers are markedly noticable. Dairying, in its way, is a hand maiden of industry since it is direct ly responsible for the establishment all within a comparatively few years of 381 dariy product plants, turning out butter, cheese and con densed and powdered milk. Ten states south of the Ohio and Potomac, plus Arkansas and Louisi ana, had on their farms 3.721,000 dairy cattle on Jan. 1, 1929. This was but a 1 per cent numerical increase over Jan. 1, 192S, but the value of these cattle grew 16 per cent from $181,9S1,000 to $211,394,000. Ob viously, the type of dairy cows is improving in Dixie, and the move ment against the "scrub sire" is cred ited by colleges of agriculture with being responsible in great measure j for this. Better cows mean not only . more milk but more butter fat. j "Worthy of comment," says James ' Speed, Kentucky editor of the ! Southern Agriculturist, "is the fact i that the value of the South's dairy ' cattle exceeds by $16,568,000 the value of all cattle in the southern states as shown by the census of 1925." Specific instances of how the dairy industry has improved the situation of the cotton-growing farmer might be cited on every hand. Dairying has liberated amny southerners from "one-crop slavery," and has given them the new freedom that conies with increased prosperity. Kentucky leads the South in the number of cattle with 493,000. Ten- I nessee is second with 437,000 and . Mississippi is sixth on the list in the matter of cattle value. Virginia : and Arkansas each have 382,000 ; dairy cows, but Virginia is third in the value list and North Carolina, j with 294,000 cattle, ranks fourth. I I 1MT mpcui main taining a Neu tral Attitude Positive Measures Not Yet Regarded Necessary in Chinese Rusian Rupture Tokyo The Japanese cabinet was understood Friday to have decided that positive Japanese measures as j yet were unnecessary in the rupture iof diplomatic relations between Rus jsia and China over the Chinese East jern railway. The cabinet heard a re port on the crisis by Foreign Minis ter Shidehara. Meanwhile a policy of strict neu trality and watchfulness will be maintained. Several diplomats call ed on the foreign office, including counsel for Edwin L. Neville of the American embassy and representa tives of the British and Italian em bassies. It was understood that all discussed the situation in Man churia. Official quarters doubted rumors of frontier skirmishes relayed by Japanese correspondents at Harbin, none of which was confirmed. Of ficial reports did confirm dispatches saying that soviet airplanes had made demonstrations over . border towns and also that soviet gunboats had moved down the Amur river to its junction with the Pungart. The Japanese general staff esti mated that the Russian concentra tion opposite Manchuli was equiva lent to one division with cavalry while an army corps, based at Ila barovsk, was moving its main strength in the direction of Pogran ichnaya. Military authorities persist in their belief that war will be avoid ed, but admit the possibility of bor der skirmishes growing out of the proximity of opponents, some of whom are none too well disciplined. It was learned that no measures have yet been taken for the protec tion of Japanese in North Manchuria who were estimated at 5.000 in the Chinese Eastern railway zone exclu sive of the Chang Chung terminus where 15,000 are protected by the northernmost Japanese post of the Manchurian garrison. The Japanese postoffice has stop ped forwarding mails by way of Si beria, and several thousand letters now held here will be rerouted by way of either the Suez Canal or Am erica. State Journal.
