Hayenitz. the Belgian minister, in
the withdrawal OF, the
Belgian capital to Qstend, declared
that the act had no political signifi-
cance and that no matter il all of
Belgium fell into the hands OF, the
Germans. Belgium would make no,
terms with the enemy before similar
steps were taken by the allies.
It was stated by officials that it.
was possible that in case of German
advances on Ostend the Belgian gov
ornment would go to England. 1T
was pointed out, however, that the
English fleet was capable of offer
ing assistance in protecting the sea
coast town and that Belgium probab-
ly would make every attempt to keep
her government on native soil.

Comes; Night Attacks in
Argonne.

From the Battle Front, via Paris
The allied armies, after having per.
mitted their adversaries, as they
thought, to exhaust themselves by
continued attacks, Tuesday took a
most vigorous offensive The British
and French encountered such strong
resistance, however, that their most
advanced attachments on the west
ern wing were compelled to fall back.
Only at this part Of the long battle
line did the opposing troops actually
come into close contact.
Only laconic reference concerning
the actual fighting is maie by the
French war office in its latest report
on the conflict is northern France.
The general situation is stationary
it says.
OF present conditions on the left
wing OF the allies line, where a pre-
yious report had said the French had
been obliged at certain points to cede
ground to the Germans, the later war
office statement merely declares that
the action still continues. 1t adds that
in the Argonne and Mouse regions
day and night attacks by the German
have been repulsed by the allies.
In the eastern war zone the Rus
SLAMS report that having conquered
the Germans in Russian Poland, two
Russian armies are invading East
Prussia with Allenstein as their OBJ
jective.

The Servians still claim to be about
to capture Sarajevo, the capital OF
the Austrian province of Bosnia. An
official report from Vienna says that
the Austrians are driving the Servian

Bosnia and that two Montenegrin bri

Prohibition
VS..
temperance

In Germany, where pro-
hlbltlon is unknown and
where all the people have
been temperate drinkers of
wholesome beers and light
wines, there is less drunk
enness than in Maine or in
kansas-the two most con-
spicuous prohibition states
in the Union.
The same is true of France
and Italy. The world over
you will find that the really
temperate races are those
who are not prohibited from
drinking temperate bever-
ages such as beer and wine.
Prohibition in Germany, France
or Italy would produce exactly
the same results that it has pro-
duced in every state in the Union
where prohibitory laws have been
enacted. 1t would not stop men
from drinking nor decrease drunk
enness, but it would drive out the
mild drinks and encourage men
who do drink to resort secretly to
the highly concentrated spirits.
If prohibition really saved men
from the ''curseof drink = itwould
have more to commend it to the
intelligenceoft hepeople. But, as
thegreateditor, HenryWatterson,
observes in the Louisville Courier
Journal, "lt does not promote
either temperance or virtue. Ii
arouses human passion to frenzy
by restricting private rights. 1t
does not reduce drunkards. 1t
multiplies Pharisees and male
factors. Paid Advertisment.

Alfalfa in Orchards

There are some good results from
growing alfalfa in the orchard. but
there are also some objections to the
practice that may prejudice its use un-
der certain conditions.
The most serious objection to al
falfa in an orchard in our western
states, is due to the fact that alfalfa
affords ideal food conditions for the
rapid increase of grasshoppers in the
orchard, which are apt to injure the
fruit or foliage
Without some precaution alfalfa is
difficult to eradicate when it may be
desirable to do so, hence it is not ad.
visable to SOW alfalfa broadcast in an
orchard unless it is expected to remain
permanently seeded to alfalfa.
Alfalfa in an orchard where thor
ough spraying with arscnical poisons
is necessary, renders the hay cut
from under the trees unsafe TO feed to
live stock, hence. alfalfa in such or
chards- must be considered entirely
| from the standpoint of a cover crop
to shade the ground and build up soil
fertility, and it is for this purpose that
alfalfa has its great advantage over
most any other crop for the arid
western states.
The effect of the size. color and
quality of the fruit from trees grow
ing with alfalfa is of decided advant.
age in the experience of men who
have seen it tried and it seems as If
the alfalfa has no bad effects OF itself
in any way
i seems evident TO make the best
use of alfaIfe in an orchard it should
be sown in thick drill rows with in.
tertillege. and then only left for two
or three years then plowed up. If the
top roots can be cut off in the fall with
plow that has the mouldboard re
moved it is easily killed by freezing
and drying out.
II alfalfa is grown in rows in the
center spaces between trees and con
trolled it is of decided advantage ii

Working for Farm Efficiency
Stanley +, Morse)

The two greatest problems in the
farming business today are to elimi-
nate the leaks or sources OF loss and
to dispose of the farm products TO the
best advantage. While an intricate
system of cost accounts would show up
the leaks such q system nevertheless
is not feasible for the average farmer
because he has neither time nor the
inclination for work of this sort
However, there is no excuse for any
farmer not taking at least an annual
inventory. A comparison of one year
with that taken the next, If properly
done. will show whether the farm is
making or losing money from year to
year and thus give an approximate
idea of whether the ranch is paying
or not
/ II the farmer then becomes more in
terested and wishes to learn more
about his farm operations. a cash al-
count may be instituted The neN,
step beyond this is the detailed cash
account and daily work report. In the
former the charges are segregated ac.
cording to the various departments for
which the money is spent. while the
daily work report gives the amount of
time spent upon the various depart
ments OF the place. This gives the
data for keeping an account with each
of the farm departments
The amount of time required for this
sort of work is approximately as fol.
lows; Taking inventory not over one
day; keeping cash account less than
five minutes a day: keeping detailed
cash account. daily work report and
department cost accounts, not over ten
minutes day. At the outside. then,
| 1t would take 5000 minutes year or
sixty hours, worth not more than
twenty cents an hour or twelve dollars
worth of the farmers time to discover
perhaps that on one department alone
he was losing twenty-five or even
fifty dollars. Would II pay? AS for
the marketing, l do not need to say
that cooperation is the remedy.
Here in Arizona We are organizing
local associations and state organ
ization with the object of working to-
gether to solve all these problems. In
fact It seems probable to me that CO.
operation also may be made to solve
