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.

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.
