The consequence of this was four
year instruction against the Austri-
ans. the effects Of which have never
disappeared. The Austrians have
spent large amounts of money on the
country, but never allowed 1t auton-
omy; and in 19OS-9. using as an ex-
cuse the constitutional revolution In
Turkey, which would require dele
gates to the Turkish parliament to
come from these two states, which
were actually in Austrian hands, the
Hapsburg monarchy formally annexed
Bosnia and Herzegovina. Germany
backed up her ally. and the protests
OF the Slav powers did not go to the
extent OF war. Meanwhile the Slavs
of Dalmatia are under Hungarian
rule; and here. as in Bosnia and Her
zegovina, promises of local self-gov-
eminent have never come to anything
more than words. Thus the northern
half Of the Servian race is still under
the Austrian empire
Meanwhile the southern half was
finally united by the victories over
Turkey in the war of 1912. Not only
did this reconquest by the Servians
OF the core OF their old empire in
western Macedonia give tremendous
impulse to the longing for complete
national unity; 1t showed the Servian
nation that its military organization
could be relied on for hard work.
In the fall OF 1912 the servians mob
ilized 100000 men in the first three
weeks. and later added $4,000 more
to the number; and while their losses
in this war and in the struggle with
Bulgaria in the summer Of 1918 were

liantly and proved themselves efficient

While the immediate cause of Aus
tria-Hungary's attack on Servia is the
demand for repsration for the murder
of the Archduke Francis Ferdinand
and his wife, the duchess of Hohen-
berg, the ultimate causes are the
movement of the Hapsburg empire
toward the south and the desperate
efforts of the entire Serb race to re-
gain complete national existence.
Ever since the repulse of the Turk
ish army from Vienna In 1888 the Aus
TRANS have steadily fought their way
southward, expecting ultimately TO
make their way to the Aegean over
the ruins of the Turkish empire. Aus

the palace, burst into the apartments
OF the king and queen and killed them.
Details of the tragedy vary, but the
best authenticated is that the couple
died in each others arms. The same
night several ministers were slain by
the plotters. The total number of vic
tins Of the conspiracy is said to have
been fifty-four.

ter was In Geneva, living secluded
life, and, apparently, taking little in

land Ever since the terrible night
Of the assassinations he has denied
that he had any foreknowledge of
them. Nevertheless. suspicion has con-
tinued, Justly or unjustly, to rest upon
him, and 1t was some years after his
accession to the throne before Great
Britain and other powers recognized
him formally as king Of Servia.
King Peter as young man led an
adventurous life. He studied In Switz-
erland and then went to the French
Military academy at st. Cyr. He took
part in the Franco-German war as an
officer Of the Foreign legion.
For many years he is said to have
engaged in conspiracies against King
Milan of Servia, but for forty-five
years he never set foot on Servian soil
until he was elected king by the Serv-
ian parliament.

CONSERVATION OF MOISTURE
Surface Of soil Must BE Kept Loose 70
Take Care Of Rain as Rapidly
a. II Desoonds.

By W. H. STEVENSON. Copyright. lV1l)
From two hundred and ssventy-ave
to six hundred tons Of water are re,
CURED to produce one ton Of dry mat.
ter for most Of our common farm
crops. In many portions of the United
States the rainfall during the growing
months is not SUFFICIENT to supply these
large amounts Of water to the crops.
This fact lays stress upon two things
namely, the Importance OF large water
supplies In the soil not as stagnant wa
ter, but as capillary water. which is
for the most part available for grow
Ing plants, and also the importance OF
the conservation Of this soil water.
The frst step In conserving soil
moisture is to have and keep the sur
face of the aol in such condition that
most OF the rainfall will be received
into It and win be carried BY gravita-
ton to the lower sones. where the wa
ter supply is held until later called
into USE WheneveR the surface Of the
soil is baked or run together and Inn
pervious 1t is practically certain that q
large portion Of every rain will not get
into the soil. but II lost because Of
surface drainage. An effort should be
made to hold the rains Of the entire
year, those OF the fall and winter and
early spring a. we'll as those Of the
growing season. In order to accom-
plish this the surface of the soil must
be kept loose and open 10 that as rap
idly IS rain falls It may be taken into
the upper soil from whence 1t can
work downward TO the great store
house beneath.
Fail blowing helps to put the sur
face in condition to take up the
rainfall. The hardened crust is bro
ken, and water enters freely. More
over. the ridges and hollows of the
piowed surface act as basins. which
hold snow and rain until they soak
into the soil. Early spring blowing
and disking also play an important
part in putting the surface soil in con-
dition to retain and take in a maxi
mum amount Of water.
The second step in soil moisture con-
servation is to save the water which
has entered the soil. This can best be
done by cultivation. The reason 10
this--water Is carried from the lower
zones OF the soil by capillarity. It rises
in the soil from soil particle to soil
particle. and finally It reaches the sur
face Of the soil and Is lost by evapora-
ton unless the upward movement ID
checked BY some agency. Now, cult
walton creates this agency--namely. q
soil mulch. The principle Of moisture
conservation by mulches il we'll estab-
lished. There is no practical method
for saving soil moisture except by the
use Of the mulch.

Mulch for Potatoeo.

Irish potatoes grown under a mulch
produced about forty-nve cent more
than the same acreage given ordinary
culture at the Nebraska experiment
station. The mulch was four to Ave
inches OF straw Of any kind OF hay or
leaves. OF course. no cultivation what
ever was given. The mulching Of these
POTATOES cost less than would the cul-
tivation. Jet ths nulching Asavly Il
creased the yield.
