RESOLUTIONS ON A GREAT
PROPAGANDA BOOK

Whereas, We have among our anti.
war literature, a book-WAR, WHAT
FOR?--conslsting of 34S pages, includ-
ing illustrations, that Is unexcelled in
It's phases, and
Whereas, This epoch-making work
is regarded by many students of So
cialism as the clearest and strongest
exposition of the class struggle and
economic determinism, and
Whereas, The author, Comrade G..
II. Kirkpatrick, has offered the re-
naming 10000 copies of the eleventh
edition at $1,000 per hundred, a price
far below the actual cost of produc.
ton, and
Whereas, In addition to this, Com
rade Kirkpatrick has offered free to
the Socialist Party the use of plates
and all rights and privileges for the
purpose of printing future editions of
the book, thereby enabling the party
to spread the truth about militarism,
as contained in this large, comprehen-
sive work, at the price of the ordinary
pamphlet, therefore
Me 1t Resolved, That the Board of
Trustees of the Northwest Worker,
in special meeting assembled, do here
by urge upon all Socialist and anti
war publications, State Secretaries,
State and National Executive Commit

Immediately disposed Of
Be 1t Further Resolved That we
begin AT ONCE to consider plans for
the printing in the near future of an
edition of million copies to be of

AND BE IL Further Resolved, That
we extend to Comrade Kirkpatrick our
thanks for thus placing at out dis

representing many years of laborious
effort; a work well designed to warn

Into an offensive alliance. These facts
were concealed from the British pub
lie and from Parliament until the first

Reviewing the day Immediately pre-
ced.nK the declaration of war the
Chancellor said that Germany's efforts
TO maintain good relations with Russia
mad been frustrated by the Pan Slav
lists and the French "revanchc" politi-
clans. He declared that Germany had
advised Austro-HunEary to accept me-
diatton In form which, as he had pre-
viously said. went as far as was bare
ly compatible with our alliance" He
then made the following important
statement regarding Poland's future:
Geographical and political fate dur
Ing the centuries have forced the Ger
mans and Poles TO fight against each
other. The remembrance of this old
antagonism has not diminished the pas
sion. patriotism and tenacity with
which the Polish nation defended its
old Western civilization and lovo Of
liberty against the Russians and pre-
served them during tho war I will not
initiate the gllttering promises OF our
enemies. but hope that the present
occupation OF tho Eastern Polish from
tiers means the beginning OF a new
evolution which will abolish the old
anita gonism between Germans and
Poles. and lead Poland. freed from the
Russian yoke. toward brighter future
in which she will be able to develop
and cultivate. her individual national
character"
WILL FREE BALKANS
FROM OPPRESSION
Further German and Austrian vic
tories" the Chancellor continued. will
free the Balkan nations from oppres-
sion. make possible the principles OF
the Balkans for the Balkan nations. "
The Chancellor concluded as follows:
Germany has never aspired TO
European hegemony. Her ambition
has been to excel others in the works
OF civilization. amidst the peaceful
competition Of large and small nations.
This war has brought to light tho
greatness Of which we arc capable By
our own moral strength. We cannot
use this force except for freedoms
sake.
We don't hate nations driven into
war by their government. but we for
get our former scntimentality We
shall continue 10 fight until those ma
lions ask for peace from their own
guilty governments. and until the road

WINTER PRODUCERS OF EGGS
Question Of Keeping Old Hens During
Cold Weather Season Should Be
Decided by Conditions.

rhe hen more than year old is
not a winter producer of eggs. Why
this is SO 1t is doubtful If anyone can
tell. The pullet produces the winter
eggs, but as she gets older, her sea-
son Of egg production is later. The
question then is whether 1t is profit
able to winter the hen two years or
more old. The answer is yes, If one
has q good market for eggs in the
spring and summer, even though you
buy the food, and decidedly yes, If one
grows the food for the fowls. II the
market in the spring and summer Is
not good, then it will not pay to win
ter the old hens. so that, after all, it
is not a question of management, but
one of being governed by conditions.
In feeding the old hens during the
winter, economy must be practiced.
and the best way of doing this Is to
have all these hens by themselves and
feed them light ration.

tfARm
POULTRY
TO SECURE EGGS IN WINTER
Hens Have No Particular Laying Sea-
son-Do Well In Cold Weather
if Given Attention.

II followed carefully, the hints given
below will insure satisfactory supply
OF eggs during the winter:
Never exposing the fowls to blus-
terry, snowy weather, remembering
that a cold, uncomfortable hen can
not be expected to be a profitable one.
Therefore the houses must be of gen.
erous size.
Early hatched pullets.
Strong, healthy yearling hens.
Roomy, comfortable, well-ventilated
houses.
Regular feeding of food rich in nj
trogenous qualities.
Scratching sheds and the fowls
made to hunt for the grain among the
litter.
Each year breeding from the strong
est and best layers and never inbreed-
ing.
Using trap nests by which the
drones can be detected, so as to give
the room and feed to the workers.
Never overfeeding, but given just
The Olneyville times. (Olneyville [Providence, R.I.]) 1887-1917, 1915-02-05

as much as they will readily eat up
clean and not waste or allow to sour.
Never exciting hens, but rather
keeping them tame so that they will
have confidence in the feeder and not
become scary.
Keeping the houses perfectly clean
and CHEEKY, so that good health may
be maintained, and that lice may be
discouraged in making their head
quarters about the premises.
Never overcrowding the flocks, as
small families will do more work. 1t
is better to keep Is hens in a house
built for % than 25 in house only
big enough for Is.
If these warnings are carefully heed
ed there will be no difficulty to secure
winter eggs. Hens have no particular
laying season; they usually lay best
in warm weather because conditions
are better-it is up TO the poultry man
to supply these.

POTATO RIOTS QUITE COSTLY
Important to Treat All Tubers Show.
Ing Affection With Solution Of
Mercury Bichloride.

Various types OF rot annually de-
stroy many thousands of dollars
worth of potatoes. The rots respon.
sible for much of these damages are
internal brown rot, powdery dry rot,
soft rot and stem rot.
Very often tubers are attacked In
the field or In storage by soft rot
which quickly reduces the potatoes to
soft, Shiny, foul-smelling mass.
The stem rot fungus, rhizoctonia.
produces on the tubers small dark
brown bodies which resemble bits Of
soil. These bodies are the wintering-
over stage Of the fungus and may
spread very rapidly from one tuber to
another under improper methods OF
storage. While this fungus does not
itself cause a rot OF the tuber, it may
pave the way for such reproducing
organisms as the dry and soft rots. or
these diseases, rhizoctonia and the or
ganism causing the internal brown rot
only produce whiting of the vine. It
Is. therefore, important to treat all
tubers showing the presence of the
brown soil-like bodies with @ solution
OF mercury bichlorlde and to discard
for seed all tubers showing the brown
ring discoloration.
Internal brown rot may live in the
soil for five or six years. II potatoes
are grown continually year after year
on the same soil these organisms will
increase in number. and, as a conse-
quence, the percentage OF wilted vines
and rotted tubers will also increase
until in a few years the soil will be
entirely worthless for growing pota-
toes.
Since ala of these diseases live over
winter on or in the tubers, II is inn
perative that seed treatment and seed
selection be practiced In order to pre-
vent a recurrence Of the troubles the
following year. This. together with
the other precautions given. will pre-
vent the spread OF these diseases and
reduce the loss In storage.
