INTENSIVE METHOD
CULTIVATION USED
Stephen Kuth Explains How
to Utilize Every Foot
of Soil.
BIG YIELD TO ACRE
Fruit Grower Says One Year
$4,000 Quarts Were
Produced.

Intensive methods of cultivation are
responsible for his success in the
fruit and berry business said Stephen
Kuth, who secured his start in fruit
growing ''by accident"
Thirty years ago Mr.. and Mrs. Kuth
bought a small farm near Richmond,
and began farming in the usual way,
raising wheat, corn, and flax. They
did fairly we'll for two or three years,
until friend in Dayton unwittingly
opened Mr.. Kuth's eyes to the oppor-
tunity of intensive farming.
This friend sent Mr.. Kuth a thou
sand strawberry plants. Busy in the
fields he did not take time to plant
them For several days he kept NOV
ing them from one side of the house
to the other to keep them in the
shade
Not wishing to displease his father
in-law, Mr. Kuth decided to set out
five hundred of the plants. He did
not think he could spare the ground
to plant the whole thousand, so he
traded half of them to a neighbor for
rooster.
The five hundred plants on a tenth
of an acre gave such a fine crop the
first year, Mr.. Kuth began to realize
that it was not SO much the amount
of ground he had under cultivation as
the methods. The next year straw
berries were planted in an acre lot.
Results were so pleasing that fiji
teen acres were placed in strawber
ries, while blackberries and raspber-
ries were covering ten acres. Dur
ing the last five years, Mr.. Kuth
states, he has allowed the acreage to
decrease because of the difficulty in
getting help. Often part Of the crop
went to waste because enough pickers
could not be found at the proper time.
The biggest yield for one year was
$4,000 quarts of berries.
BY using intensive methods, Mr.
Kuth says he realizes about $4,000
each summer from his berry business
He was one of the first farmers in the
county to realize the benefits of max
ing each unit Of ground produce to
its capacity Many others have since
adopted his methods to cultivate every
| foot of soil

HER DAY OF WHITE BREAD.

went out and closed the door behind
her. She stood in the clean, bare
kitchen a moment; a shade of rebel
lion rested on her face because of her

Gathering up the tin milk-pail and a
battered strainer, she flung open the
outside door and stepped out. Three
fat, brown puppies ran out from under
the house, and leaped clumsily about
her; they caught their few teeth in her
skirt-hem, they worried her ankles,
they pulled at her shoe-strings until

POLICY OF THE NAVY
GOVERNMENT OIL AND GOVERN
MENT kRMoR PLATE
FAVORED.
SECRETARY MAKES REPORT
Wants Two More Dreadnaughts,
Eight Destroyers and Three Sub
marines During Coming Year.

Washington. Immediate acquire
ment and operation of oil wells and
refineries 10 furnish fuel for the navy,
an international conference to secure
a reduction Of naval construction. the
addition Of two dreadnaughts, eight
destroyers and three submarines for
the navy during the coming year, gov
eminent manufacture Of armOr, more
naval chaplains and religious leaders,,
better educational facilities for en-
listed men and a graduated retire
ment law are chief recommendations
in the first annual report of Secretary
Daniels, made public.
The secretary departs from the
usual custom in addressing the pres
ident in the first person singular,
thereby adding to the directness and
force of the reports statements. The
report reflects his enthusiasm over
the navy, declaring that the story of
the years work by this patriotic
body of efficient defenders of the re-
public is replete with examples OF
courage, devotion, sacrifice and prog
ress."
The secretary says the navy was
never in such high state of effcien-
cy as today, and that in considering
its future needs he has given less
thought to the guns than to the men
behind the guns. Believing that the
efficiency of the navy as a fighting
force will be in the highest sense pro-
NOTED by the adoption of a serious
and systematic course of instruction
aboard ship and at shore stations, he
points out that the department is try
ing to make the navy a great UNIVERSE
ty. Not only ordinary seamen, but
even petty officers have too little &C
curate knowledge and this will be cor
rected by a systematic course OF IN
struction. Midshipmen of the gradual
ing classes will be utilized as instruc-
tors with mutual benefit to the men
and themselves" and to fit them for
this work short normal course will
be added to the naval academy curric-
ulum. AS the war college is the apex
of the navy system of education the
department will try to have all Off
GERS pass through this training, using
mail courses where advisable.

HIS sYMpArHIEs WITH ELK
Somewhat Natural, Since Animal Rec
cued Engineer From Extremely
Awkward Position.

A curious story of adventure comes
from Montana. While freight train
was lying over at small mountain
station, the engineer borrowed a shot
gun and started out for a short hunt.
Finding nothing, he was returning to
the train when a COW came running at
him, and before he realized his dan
ger, she tossed him IN the air.
Getting to his feet as quickly as
possible, he lodged behind tree,
and then, to his dismay. found that
the gun barrel was bent SO as to be
useless. The next ten minutes were
very lively ones, while the COW chased
the engineer round and round the
tree. Just when he was about to sue
cumb from fatigue, an angry snort was
heard. and a big elk appeared upon
the scene, head down and prepared
for fight
So was the COW, and in another mo-
ment the two animals dashed at each
other. The engineer watched the COM
bat for few minutes, until prudence
suggested that he should make a re-
treat as soon as he could. He re-
gained the train in safety, and never
know the outcome Of the battle, but
he hopes the elk was the victor.

WOMEN CAMPAIGN FOR VOTES
They viii Urge Congress to Adopt
Constitutional Amendment.

WASHINGTON. "A weeks campaign by
the National American Woman Sur
frage Association to secure the adop-
ton of a constitutional amendment to
enfranchise women was launched at
a mass meeting in Washington. 1t
was the formal opening of the forty
fifth annual convention of the associ-
alton. An assemblage, which packed
the edifice from footlights to gallery,
listened for nearly three hours to dis
cussions on various phases of the sur
frage cause by conspicuous advocates
of the woman movement. Suspended
above the drop curtain was huge yell
low banner bearing thel egend: e
I'VE Demand an Amendment to tn
United States Constitution Enfranchif
ing Women"
The association adopted almost
unanimously a set of resolutions in
troduced by Mrs. Helen Ring Robin
son. a member of the Colorado state
senate, calling upon President Wilson,
"in his forthcoming message to con-
gress to adopt the woman suffrage
constitutional amendment as an admin
istration measure and to urge con-
press to take immediate and favorable
action upon it," urging the senate to
mass the amendment and asking the
house to create a committee on Wom-

Our Bureau of Mines ought 10 be

tons of mine labor and making the
mines more economically productive
as well as more safe. This is an all
important part Of the work of con-
servation; and the conservation of
human life and energy lies even near
er to our interest than the preserva-
ton from waste Of our material re-
sources.
We owe 1t, in mere justice TO the
railway employees of the country, to
provide for them a fair and effective
employers liability act; and a law
that we can stand by in this matter
will be no less to the advantage OF
those who administer the railroads OF
the country than to the advantage OF
those whom they employ. The expe-
rience of a large number of the States
abundantly proves that.
We ought to devote ourselves to
meeting pressing demands of plain
Justice like this as earnestly as to
the accomplishment of political and
economic reforms. Social justice
comes first. Law is the machinery for
its realization and is vital only as 1t
expresses and embodies it.
An international congress for the
discussion of all questions that affect
safety at sea is now sitting in Lon
don at the suggestion of our own
Government. So soon as the conclu-
sions of that congress can be learned
and considered we ought to address
ourselves, among other things, to the
prompt alienation of the very unsafe,
unjust, and burdensome conditions
which now surround the employment
