MAINE BOYS SWEET com CLUBS
Members Should Piow Now


The boys interested in growing sweet corn
for 1916 should prepare their one quarter acre
plot this fall. The plot should be located on
an elevation to afford good air drainage, there
by preventing late and early frosts.
The soil should be well drained, preferably
sandy loan having good subsoil that does not
allow too much teaching. Barnyard manure
should be applied at the rate of 8 to spreader
or dump cart loads to the plot and plowed un-
der to depth of or inches according TO the
depth of the surface soil. Do not plow more
than one-half inch deeper than the land was
plowed before.
If there is danger of washing, furrows should
be plowed from point in the middle of and
eight or ten feet above the upper end and ex-
tend down to and along the sides of the plot.
These furrows should be turned in towards the
plot. Washing to any degree will be prevented
by this means.
Fall plowed land will absorb more moistu
and will be in a better condition for corn than
land plowed in the spring. Manure applied in
the fall and plowed in has chance to decom-
pose, making the plant food available to the
crop. Manure applied in the spring is likely
not to decompose very rapidly and the corn
crop would suffer from lack of available plan,
food.
1t should always be borne in mind that lane
we'll prepared is half hoed, that little extrs
time spent in plowing may mean a successful
crop.
If the instructions are not clear, please write
Immediately to the State Leader of Boys
Agricultural Clubs, Orono, Maine.
Watch the paper for further announcement
regarding sweet corn clubs.

RUSSELL ON NE WAR

Money and the struggle for com
mercial supremacy is what the ma
lions are fighting for in Europe to-
day." said Charles Edward Russell,
magazine writer and Socialist, who
spoke before a large audience at
Powers theater yesterday. "The
present struggle has been Matching
for years and in 1913 was only avert
ed by the refusal of Belgium to allow
herself to be invaded. Recently she
refused again and the world has seen
what has happened.
1.-THE expense of the Thirty Years
war, which took the nations involved
200 years to pay for, was equal to
only four days of those Of the pres
