Berlin Lauds Note to L. 9.

Berlin, May 31.-German papers
highly praise the German reply to
President Wilson's note on Germanys
submarine warfare. The Kxolnische
Zeitung says:
THE facts that are made public in
Germany's reply show that the tor
pedoing of the Lusitania was COM
pletely justified. The complaint Of
the United States totally disappears
and it remains for the American gov
eminent now to make direct complaint
to England. which Is the proper quar-
ter to make protest any way"
London, May 31.-British newspapers
in commenting today upon the German
reply to President Wilson's note pro-
testing against Germany's submarine
warfare, declare that the document IL
evasive and unsatisfactory. They pre-
dict that the reply will cause much
annoyance in Washington.
"The German reply is precisely what
was expected" says the Westminster
Gazette. TT avoids a direct answer

PLAN CAMPAIGN
ON MONTENEGRO

1t is said in some dispatches that,
having reoccupied part of Macedonia
largely inhabited by their fellow ma.
tionals, the Bulgarian people and gov
ernment are disinclined to push any
further west and on this point are in
disagreement with their Austro-G Ger
man allies, who are determined to
drive not only the Serbians and Mon
tenegrins, but the French and British
troops out of the Balkans.
The Austro-Germans also have had
to divert part of their armies down
the Danube to the Roumanian border,
Roumania having refused the German
request for the opening of the Dan
ube throughout it's entire length to en-
able the Germans to send supplies to
Bulgaria and Turkey. Roumania in.
sisted that armed ships must not pass
Baba, which is on the Danube at the
oumanian-Bulgarian frontier.
With the concentration of the Rus
slams, too, the attitude of Roumania is
becoming daily more pro-ally, and the
Austro-Germans, having aided Bull
garia in her campaign against Serbia,
which is now cleared, is called upon
to protect her against aggression from
the east.
Russian warships, including new
dreadnoughts, have again been seen
off the Black sea coast of Bulgaria,
but there is no news of any landing
or movement of troops.
Aside from Serbia the Austro-Ital-
ian theater is furnishing the most vio-
lent fighting of any of the war zones.
Here, along the littoral front, the Ital-
ians are on the offensive against the
Austrians. Shells are raining on the
Gorilla sector, while the Italian in
fantry have tiercely attacked at Os-
tavia, on the Podgora height and the
Doberdo plateau. They penetrated
the Austrian positions, but, according
to Vienna, later were driven out,

BETTER SEED

In reply to the question, chow
much increase in crop yields could be
secured by careful seed selection
on of the largest Montana farmers
answered, "about twenty five per
cent" This agrees substantially with
act;sel experience over the country.
Common defects in seed are:
l. Poor varieties.
2. Low vitality, or low Germin-
alton.
8. Diseases, smut, scab rust, etc
4. Impurities, weeds, dirt, mix
ture Of varieties.
Acclimated varieties are usually
best, and it is good farm practice to
SOW seed grown locally. This does
preclude the testing of new and pro-
missing sorts as they appear. Many
varieties are fakes, and old things
under new names, that do not justify
general substitution for tried stand
ard seeds.
Selecting mature seeds, keeping
them from frosts, tanning out light
and small seeds, and treating with
formaldehyde, will eliminate low vi
tality and disease.
Impurities must be avoided by
cleaning the fields of weeds and vol
unteer crop, sowing pure and going
through the seed plots before harvest
and removing weeds and drogues.
The latter work will be repaid many
times over in increased yields at
home, not to speak of the advantage
Of having pure seed to sell at en-
hanced prices. A few heads of su-
perior grain sown in the garden and
carefully selected will yield seed for
a tenth acre plot next year. A few
minutes time used in removing weeds
and plants off type will make the seed
pure, and of quantity for two to five
acres. Two to five acres Of clean,
pure seed sown on clean land will
yield seed for quarter section farm.
1t will pay, and pay big, to give at
tention to pure seed.
The elimination of weeds is to be
the big topic at the Montana Seed
Growers Meeting at Livingston, JAN
uary 10, and at Farmers Week Boze-
man, January oath to the Goth.

GERMANY TO GET FODDER

Berlin, Nov. 29.-The opening Of
the water transportation route of the
Danube from the Balkans has enabled
the government to take steps to end a
shortage of feed and fodder which has
been in effect since last February, )
The relief measures take the shape
CT an offer TO deliver to farmers feed
for some 100000 swine at price
which will enable the farmers to de-
liver fattened swine to municipalities
and comnunes at a price somewhat
under the present maximum,
