NEW YORK. Nov. Democratic
leaders are wondering how far Bryan
will 20 in opposing President Wilson's
program of preparedness. II is be
licved that the country in general will
support Wilson. and the idea is prcva-
lent that even the republicans will en-
dorse the program. as they believe that
the country feels that the protection
OF the nation is Il vital issue and to
oppose the peoples wishes in this mat
ter would be to defeat the party which
raises the issue
Many democrats. however. will op-
pose the program with much force.
but il will be not along personal line,

II is understood that Congressman
Kitchen will not BE- disciplined which
means that his patronage list will not

SUBMARINES SEEK

German Fleet Of Super-Submarine
Now Making for Salonika-
Soon In Action
BY United Press.

Sy Onlteo Press.
PARIS, Nov. 9.--The hardest sub
marine warfare yet Witnessed will
doubtless be seen soon in the neigh
borhood of Salonika, for the German
submarine fleet is now known 10 be
in the Mediterranean. The German
undersca fleet consists of practically
all the new super-submarines which
have been rushed to completion, and
are equipped with all the modern I'M
provements.
The German submarines have al
most ceased their activities in the
vicinity of the English coast recent
ly, owing to the measures taken by
the English navy TO detect and eXter-
inmate them. II is feared that the
English fleet in the near-east is not
so we'll prepared to resist their war
fare. and there will probably be- many
transports blown up and much dam
age done before the English can To-
cate and destroy these new super
submarines.

sweet potatoes for four years. Be

The first thing is TO get clean and
healthy seed To get these. grow a
crop especially for seed by making
cuttings in July from healthy vines
and setting them rather closely in
the rows and thus get a crop Of
small-sized potatoes clean Of any
signs of rot. Reject for bedding any
potato that shows brown spots or
blotches in the skin. Your potatoes
in the hills "just rotted," but it was
black rot all the same.

Things to DO this Month.

|. Put the finishing touches on the
seed bed before the seed are planted,
seeing, too, that all clods are finely
pulvcriZcd.
2. Try to so arrange that the cot
ton will be planted on a seed bed that
has been tirmed by good rain;
loose, cloddy land is poor place to
put cotton seed
3. April rains are hard and beat
ing; as soon as possible after them
run the harrow to prevent hard
cruSts forming.
1. April is the month in which
grass and weeds begin to appear;
get them before they get you by
keeping the harrows and cultiyators
busy.
;. Keep the garden booming by
frequent cultivation.
8. Danger of killing frost will in
most sections be over this month,
and the tenderer vegetables should
be planted.
=. Plan now what crops Shall take
the place of the garden vegetables
that will come off in May and June.
and arrange to have an all-thc-ycar-
round garden.
s. Don't forget a big melon patch;
we'll prepared and heavily fortified.
9. TIE clover seed will soon be
ripe; prepare now to see thai every
seed possible IS saved for fall plant
iu&
10. Watch the orchard and gar
den for insect pests and don't let
th"m get start.
II. Tick eradication work should
begin in all infested counties this
month; get in touch with the oni-
GERS in charge Of this work and put
""ur county on the tick-free map.

Don't BE Too Fast.

The wet weather that has prevail
gressive Farmer territory during the
winter and spring has had the effect
OF very much rctarding the work Of
soil preparation, and when good
plOwing weather does come there is
going to be strong temptation to
hurry the crops into the ground re-
gardleSS Of whether the soil has been
properly prepared. The man who
yields to this temptation is going to
make mistake that will trouble
him all during the cultivation sea-
son, and, ghost-like, will confront
him next fall in the shape Of very
much reduced yields.
TO nothing does the ada&e that "if
Il thing is worth doing at all it is
worth doing wcll," apply with great
or force than to the preparation Of
the soil before the seed are planted.
THAT good preparation is more than
half cultivation is a familiar saying
with nearly all Of us, but in seasons
like this We are TO apt TO prove that
we really do not believe this and that
we have never grasped its full sig
Nihcancc.
And yet this expression is not so
nearly an eXaggcration as are many
Of such sayings. We had far better
not plant the full acreage that we
have planned, and do what we do
well. rather than hurry our seed into
poorly prepared ground and regret
our haste all DUNG the cultivation
season. The less acreage that this
would entail would at least enable
us to give what we do plant extra
preparation and better cultivation
OUr increased yield would in all
probability more than make up for
tho reduction.
This better and thorough prepa-
ration is all the more necessary this
year because Of the fact that there
has been decidedly less winter
breaking than usual, and as a consc-
quencc much OF the moisture that
has fallen has escaped For this
good preparation will largely make
up.
