ALFALFA IN DRY SECTIONS

such conditions is very doubtful.)

valuable asset for the beet grower,
and In considering the value OF a beet
crop they should be reckoned at their
real worth as q stock food. Many
farmers sell their tops at q cash price
ranging from $3.50 to IS per acre, in
which case the grower Is the loser
for the reason that the tops are of
greater value to him as a stock food,
and If he allows the tops to leave his
farm he loses their manurial value,
consisting OF large part of mineral
plant food taken up by beets in the
process Of growth. and also their
humus value, which results from re-
turning the tops to the soil in the
form OF stable or barnyard manure.
The most economical way to handle
the tops Is to gather them into piles
soon after they wilt and before
they become thoroughly dry. In this
condition they can be gathered with
much less loss than would be the case
If they were left scattered over the
ground until dried. After they have
cured in the piles they should be
hauled to the feed yard. where they
should be fed in properly constructed
racks to avoid waste.
Beet pulp is an excellent stock food.

bird Is, and whether 1t has been prop

Use of Explosives in War.
From the Seattle Times.

From the Se1tt1e Times.
Use of explosives by aeroplanes Of
Germany and France is not contrary
to the rules of civilized warfare today.
despite the popular belief among many
persons that prohibition against
such warfare exists. The first Hague
peace conference participated in by all
the countries now at war. declared
against the use Of explosives in such
a manner and the contracting parties
to the meeting agreed to this prohibi-
ton. During the time in which this
prohibition was in force, flying craft
would have been outside the pale had
! they resorted to such tactics. But
there was an express limit placed on
! the duration of this instrument and
that limit has expired.
Consequently, there Is nothing in the
| modern articles OF civilized warfare"
to prohibit the employment Of every
such agency that any one of the sew
eral combatants may possess. That
they will take advantage of their facil-
| tiles In this regard is not open to Ques-
ton. The result will be that this war

From the Pittsburgh Dispatch

From the Pittsburgh Dispatch.
The war seems likely to open up a
solution for one element that only

zle for this country. The "plucked"
naval officers who were retired from
the service to make promotion more
rapid may find employment. II the out
come Of the war is an addition to our
merchant marine.
If the perils to the merchant tonnage
of the combatants should lead to the
transfer of vessels to the American flag
there will be a strong call for officers
to operate them. We may acquire these
ships by purchase or we may transfer a
large share of our 100000 tons of
coasting vessels to the ocean trade. But
in either case, the need for American
officers to direct them will be urgent
The plucked naval officers include
men of established ability, many of
them of national reputation. 1t would
be a pertinent adoption of the German
example If these officers were put in
charge of the new American liners,

country and European ports. 1t remains
to be seen how fully our capitalists
