WELL-EQUlPPED WORK SHOP
Much Time and Money Can Be Saved
by Making Repairs at Home on
Farm Machinery.

A w~ell-equipped work shop is con
v%enient; it is economical; and it is al.
most a necessity TO the successful
farmer. Just how far the farmer
should equip his shop will depend on
the extent of his farming operations
and his ability in handling tools.
The average farmer, with adequate
tools, can DO all the ordinary repair
ing on his farm machinery.
AS a rule, the farmer can do his
own repairing much more quickly
than he can go to the nearest shop
and have a mechanic do the work.
The farmer may not be able to make
repairs equal to those made by a
trained mechanic, but the economy CT
time may be of more Importance than
excellence.
Breakdowns are most frequent dur.
ing the busy season, and much valua-
BILE time Is sacrificed going to some
distant shop. In many cases perma-
nent repairs can be made at once, and
in most instances temporary repairs
can be made at the farm shop, pro,
vided the necessary tools and supplies
are available.

AID TO SOIL PRODUCTIVITY
Green Manuring and Fertilizing
Help Potato Growers.

American potato growers will be
interested In the fact that German
farmers have found that many in
direct benefits result from potato cul-
ture, through modern methods of crop
rotation, green manuring and f~ertiliz-
ing.
The potato has played the greatest
role in the agricultural development
Of light and fertile soils Of eastern
Germany, as the sugar beet has done
in heavier soils. According to Ger
man specialists, these hoed root crops
are beneficial to any soil, through the
deep and thorough culture that is
given them, with It's resultant i'm
provement in the physical condition
and aeration.
The profits from the crop justify
the liberal use Of commercial fertil-
izers, from which there are important
residual effects on other crops in the
rotation. The clean culture practised
also brings all weeds into thorough
subsection. The yields per acre of all
farm crops have been greatly IN
creased since the extension of potato
growing. >

IALL STRIKE BREAKERS BARRED
PRESIDENT ALSO ORDERS TIME
LIMIT ON DISARMAMENT.
Mar Department to Permit Rehabiii.
tation of Ludlow Tent Colony
Under Certain Restrictions.

Trinidad, Colo, May 12.-President
Wilson, through the war department,
has instructed Colonel James Lockett,
commanding federal troops in South
ern Colorado, to permit no impOrta-
ton of strike breakers, and further
announced that a time limit would be
set at once within which delivery of
arms must be completed.
This statement was made by Major
w. A. Holbrook. He said both sub
iects would be treated in proclamation
later.
Colonel Lockett announced that the
war department had determined to
permit the rehabilitation of the strik-
ers' tent colony at Ludlow provided
the federal military officers are given
a roll of the inhabitants, with the ad-
dress of their former places of en-
ployment, and provided further that
a union man of strong influence is
placed in charge of the camp, with
whom military officers may confer.
In his statement upon President
Wilson's instruction concerning strike
DlSahClo ., hdJOl IlOlDIOOh Sdlu ludI
the commanding officers here have
been advised that no man shall be
employed in any mine in the Colorado
coal fields who has not been actually
in its employ on April %. the date
when the first proclamation ordering
the federal troops into the field was
published.
No mine that was closed down at
that time or before will be permitted
to open, according to Major Hol-
brooks statement, but all others may
be operated under full protection from
the government.
Strikers, those formerly employed
at certain mines, will be permitted to
return to work at the specific places
of their former employment if they
choose and if they are desired by their
former employers, according to Major
Holbrook.
In connection with the presidents
announcement that a time limit would
be set for the delivery of arms, Major
Holbrook announced that the war de-
partment would probably issue an
early proclamation. After that, &C.
cording to Major Holbrook, forcible
seizure will be begun.
In many sections many have sur.
rendered their arms already, as a re-
suit of the previous order Of Colonel
Lockett.
At various meetings of locals of the
United Mine Workers of America, the
members were told they would be
dropped from the role of membership
unless they complied with the dis.
armament proclamation.

GROWING SUGAR BETS
CLIMATE AND SOIL MUST BE IA.
KEN INTO CONSIDERATION.
Plant Does Remarkably Well at High
Elevations From Fact That IL Is
Injured Very Little by Frost
and Hailstorms.
CBy c. s. KNIGHT.)

Experience has shown that the
sugar beet reaches it's highest develop
ment in the north temperate ATTITUDES.
Although the conditions of tempera-
ture must be taken into consideration
in selecting localities for the growing
of sugar beets, yet in addition to the
thermal conditions must also be
studied those of rainfall or water sup
ply.
The sugar beet requires a certain
amount Of moisture in order to pro-
duce its normal crop. This water may
be supplied by precipitation in the
usual way, by irrigation, or else the
soil must be of that particular quality
which will allow s"ubterranean moist
ure to reach the roots of the plants.
The porous and sandy soils adjacent to
rivers sometimes furnish a sufficient
amount Of subterranean moisture to
produce a good crop In connection
with the rainfall.
In general, beets require four or five
months of growing weather for their
successful production. In the West
where the moisture is applied by irri-
cation, the crop may be harvested at
a certain stage, thus making the con-
ditions ideal. In the eastern sections
of the country, where the moisture is
applied by rainfall, a second growth

1t is no easy matter to raise squads
and while much a be learned from
books the only way is to get right
down to the actual work.
The young require no care as the
old birds look after them until they
are ready for the market.
Every loft should have a good feed
bin, divided into sections for holding
different varieties OF grains used. The
list of pigeon grains might be classed
as corn, wheat, kafr corn, Canada
peas, hemp and millet.
Salt, oyster shell and charcoal are
three substances very essential to the
health Of pigeons.

may occur after maturity, caused by
rain, which greatly reduces the sugar
content Of the beet.
The sugar beet does remarkably
we'll at high elevations from the fact
that 1T is injured very little by frost
and hailstorms unless they are too
severe or too early. Profitable crops
Of sugar beets are, however, seldom
produced above the elevation of 5000
feet.
Probably the best soil for sugar
beets is a good, deep clayey loan with
sufficient sand or silt to allow it's be-
ing easily pulverized. Since the sugar
beet is deep rooted it necessarily re-
quires a deep soil. The low, wet soils
are poorly adapted to this crop, as
they are wet and prevent any rapid
development in the early stages of
growth, and the later growth con-
tinues beyond the time of maturity.
Such soils produce a watery beet Of
ow quality, resulting in a low sugar
content. Soils which have a hard-pan
formation within is inches of the sur
face should never be used for beets
since they greatly interfere with root
growth, and also have a tendency to
lose moisture.
Stony and ~gravelly soils should be
avoided, since they are incapable Of
holding water. and stony soils prevent
the proper development in form of
roots, which is essential for the high
est quality OF beets. Sandy soils which
have a tendency to blow should never
be used, as the young plants are fire.
quentiy destroyed by strong winds.
The sugar beet requires a deep, mel
low soil, quite rich in available plant
food and free from weed growth.

testimony. The court told us that it
could sentence us to two months i'm

However, we were informed that this

were warned not to repeat it.
Thereupon we determined that if
we were gagged in Vera Cruz we
would ungag the testimony in the
United States. We made up our minds
that we would carry the matter to
the tribunal of public opinion at home
by having that naval courts record
unveiled after it reached Washington.
To that end Correspondent Shepherd
demanded of the court that all ques-
lions and answers go into the record.
Then the court blew up!

Thus stirred up, the president of

running this court. You can't dictate
to me. I'll put what 1 like into the
record and keep out what please"
Then the three judges fell to quar-
reling among themselves as to pro-
cedure, what they should do next. It
was clearly a case of being up in the
air over Shepherds demand. Finally
Capt Grant ordered the court cleared
