The notes are four in number. They
are:
The note of Great Britain dated

The supplementary note of Great

refusing to recognize the validity of
British prize court proceedings as at

Britain makes her suggestion of ap-
peal to an international tribunal
A communication from the state
department to Ambassador Page at
London, dated July Is, on the case of
the American steamship Neches, in
structing him to inform Great Britain
that this government does not recog-
nize the legality of the seizure of the
cargo, and insisting that it be sex

nor reasonable to press Great Britain

Suggestion Made.
This communication contains a sug.
gestion which the state department
interprets as a definite concession to
American importers. 1t appears in the
following paragraph:
IF, however, 1t be alleged that In
particular cases and special circum-
stances hardsip may be inflicted on
citizens OF neutral countries, his maj
esty's government are ready in such
cases to examine the facts in a spirit
of consideration for the interest Of
neutrals, and in this spirit they are
prepared to deal with the cargo Of
the Neches, to which your excellency
has called attention, II it held that the
particular circumstances of this case
fall within this category"
The state department accepts the
statement Of Great Britain as an
opening for definite request that the
British government specify the con-
cessions 1t is willing to make and an
inquiry of this nature will be sent at
an early date.

SEAWEED AS Fertilizer.
How II Can Be Used to tho Best Ad-
vantage.

How It Can Be Used to the Best Ad-
vantage.
In general the use Of seaweed as a
fertilizer is a good investment, says a
contributor to the Country Gentleman.
On sandy soils it may merely be plOw-
ed under, but in general 1t is prefer
able to compost 1t.
Seaweed varies considerably In anal
ysis, according to species, but all
kinds contain high percentage Of
moisture and more potash than do soft
structure land plants. The kelp spe-
cies in particular carry much potash.
The disadvantage Of applying large
quantities Of seaweed to farm land
lies in the possibility Of injury to some
crops through the chlorine in the salt
that adheres to the weed and in the
acidity that may be developed through
decomposition Of masses Of the weed.
The weed should be spread on the
land as far ahead Of crop planting as
possible to permit of the chlorine's be-
ing carried off by drainage. An appli-
cation of lime will remedy both the
acidity and the Ill effects Of the chic
rine. Much larger applications Of the
seaweed can be made on sandy soils
than OH heavy soils or on those not
well drained.
Flowing under leguminous crops If
they are of the deep rooted species, like
clover and alfalfa, will maintain soil
fertility. The nodules on the roots will
collect nitrogen from the air, and the
deep roots will bring up potash and
phosphoric acid from the subsoil.
But lime should be applied occasion
ally to prevent any acidity that may
develop as the result Of decomposition
Of masses of green growths. At inter
walls Of seven to ten years 1t would
also be advisable to apply phosphorus
In the form of ground bones, Stag or
raw phosphate rock. Commercial fer
tilizers may be termed crop producers
only. They do little for soil improve
ment.

ORCHARD AND GARDEN.

Keep the cucumbers picked from the
vines If you wish them to continue
bearing. Never let one ripen on the
vines, even if you do throw them away,
unless you do not care for any more Of
them.
Cabbage and caulihower will grow
better If frequently cultivated. Tie the
keep them white.
Save all the wood ashes and use
around fruit trees as fertilizer. Wood
ashes are especially good for peach
trees, and they will benefit all fruit
trees and vines.
Neglected fruit trees are not worth
the ground they occupy; they are an
eyesore, and when pest infested they
are positive menace to the neighbor-
hood.
, Keep the high wheeled wagon out Of
the orchard. Not only does 1t cut up
the sod, but 1t is more apt to brush
and peel the lower limbs of the trees,
and 1t is great deal more inconven-
lent to pour fruit into than the low
down wagon, with its broad tires.
Cabbage worms are very apt to both

SELECTING TOMATO SEED.

All tomato plants produce
, branches which bear perfect
flowers. Though the tomato
plant Is largely self fertile, espe-
,ially when grown in Ahe open
air, there is always more or less
mixing of varieties when the
) plants are grown. close together.
The selection OF your own seed
Is simple matter. Select plants
. that are ideal In vigor, freedom
from disease, production and
character of fruit. Practically
all the tomatoes from each plant
} thus selected may be saved, only
fruits that happen to be inferior
being discarded.
Inasmuch as not all plants
possess equal powers In trans
hitting their qualities, it Is de-
sirable to keep the seed from
each plant in a separate pack
age and then to plant the con-
) tents Of the packages In sepa-
rate lots next year.
This will give you an oppor-
tunity to judge the best stock.
An excellent plan is to conduct
trial test of about twenty-five
plants from each lot Of seed.
You will not find it much trou-
BILE to weigh and even to count
the tomatoes from each lot Of
plants. The results will justify
} the work involved.

U. S. INSPECTORS ARE FREED
Judge Lands Interposes in Case Of
Men Held In Irons.

Chicago, Aug. 4.-Robert Reid and
Charles c. Eckliff, United States
steamboat inspectors, who were
brought into the Redfield inquiry
room in handouts, have thrown them
off. Judge Lands stepped in to save
tie men from the ignominy of being
held in irons before they had been
formerly charged with any crime by
a grand jury.
Indignation of Solicitor Albert l..
Thurman and their attorneys at their
treatment resulted in the application
for writs of habeas corpus, brought
by their attorneys, James J. Barbour
and Charles e. Kremer. The state
managed to have the arguments post
poned until next Wednesday, but Reid
and Eckliff were allowed by Judge
Lands to go free on bonds Of $4,000,
which they themselves signed.

The Potato Market

Truck growers who annually
plant a considerable acreage of po-
tatoes are warned by the United
States Department of Agriculture
that there was, on January l, 1915,
very much larger supply of
northern-grown potatoes in the
hands of growers and dealers than
was the case January /, 1914. Ex-
perience has demonstrated that a
large hold-over crop of northern
grown potatoes which is in good
condition and selling at reason
able price when the early truck
crop potatoes reach the market
means low prices,-sometimes so
low that the shipment of such
crops nets a loss to the grower.
Under such conditions a small
acreage means a smaller loss than
a large acreage.
With 43,000,000 more bushels of
potatoes in sight January /, 1915,
than were available at the same
time last year and with a 1915
price Of 432 cents as compared
with 66.2 cents a year ago, a price
which under the then existing
conditions did not improve before
the truck crop began to move,
there is little hope that the condi-
tions will be better this year. The
price now is just about 33 per cent
less than it was a year ago. The
distribution of the crop is much
better than last season, so there is
little likelihood that the price of
hold over stock will reach last
years mark even by the end of the
storage period.

HOLY WEEK--ITS MESSAGE
OF DIVINE LOVE
BY REV. w. P. HAUPT

Gods appeal to man from the
Cross of His Son.
Worldly amusements during the
commemoration of such an exhibit
ton of divine love are unbecomlng
and indecent. If you enter into
the Season of Lent, remember that
you are coming into the presence
of the sorrow and tragedy of hea-
ven and earth. | exhort you,
therefore, not to bring the thought
of the world into the sacred feel
ings and emotions of this Blessed
Season.
But, alas! how many there are
who are Indifferent and careless
and thoughtless! They are sell
rom in Gods House on the Lords
Day; they neglect the Lords
altar; they think not of the hea-
venly home and their untitness to
dwell there; they have excuses,
whose number is legion. And yet,
| were there a dance, or a party, a
supper or a sociable, these appar-
ent obstacles would, in some way
or other be cleared away. It is
plain what are considered the
treasures of life, for there the
heart is also.
But Lent is yet here with its
Message of Divine Love, to tell
you that these pleasures are fleet,
ing; that your days are passing
as a shadow; and that soon you
must face the great question
What have l done to inherit
eternal life?"
:! May your soul, during this las
portion of Lent,-Holy Week.
be quickened by the fame of God:
love to deeper earnestness in youl
spiritual life, to more ardent yea
for your Divine Masters work
, and to greater enthusiasm for al

Crushed To Death By Roller

Hiram c. Fisher, a farmer of
the Lewes section, was killed on
Thursday afternoon and his helper
a hand named hilbert, was severe
ly injured when both were thrown
under a heavy farm roller. They
were riding on the roller when
their team of mules, frightened by
an automobile, ran away. Both
were thrown under the roller
which crushed Fisher fatally and
injured Niblett severely, but it is
thought not seriously.
Newark post., 1915-03-24

Love is the law of life, and the
highest expression of this law is
exhibited in the Cross of Jesus
Christ. God so loved that He
gave His only Begotten Son." and
the Son so loved that having
loved His own, who were in the
world, He loved them unto the
end"
And so universal has His love
ever been and ever will be, that
any soul and every soul can say of
Him as St. Paul said of Him,
who loved me and gave Himself
for me-" Love is Gods only ap-
peal to the Conscience. He has set
up the Cross of His Son upon the
highways of life, that through it's
infiite power of love. He may
draw His children unto Himself.
The appeal of Lent is the appeal
of the whole Passion of Jesus
Christ to the conscience of men. To
look up to the Cross is to feel the
degradation and cruelty of sin, and
to realize how impotent we are to
free ourselves from it's powers.
The world had no adequate know
ledge of sin, until it witnessed its
own extreme guilt, after having
finished its work of mailing the
very Innocence and Love of God
to the "accursed tree"
There is no hope for one who
can feel no sense of shame before
the Cross of The Christ. You may
not feel this shame now, or next
year, or years to come, but it is
only in the light of The Cross that
you can ever confess the sin OF
your soul and feel the guilt of il
blotted out. The authority OF
Lent over the Conscience can only
be exercised when the power Of
the Cross breaks the silence of the
Conscience into penitent confes
sion of sin. Upon the publican:
