CZARINA CURED BY The WAR

1t is no secret that the mind OF
the czarina of Russia has been Serl-
ously affected for many years past.
She was subject to a marked form of
melancholia, with other mental peculi-
arities. Physicians who had examined
her feared that she was drifting into
hopeless insanity.
And now, miracle of miracles!
Her mental sickness has been COM
pletely cured by the war. That which
has brought such unspeakable woe
and misery to millions of people has
brought relief to the once unhappy
czarina.
1t is the serious hard work she
has been doing as a war nurse that
has benefited the czarina,s mind.
Coming into close contact with pain
and grim reality. with human patience
and human weakness has lifted her out
of her life of morbid self-concentra-
ton and exaggerated terrors, and
made her a normal human being.
The czarina has gone into war
nursing in a most serious and efficien
pital of her own, known as 'sthe C,

GERMANYS "SPHINX"

They call him "The Sphinx" in
Germany-that quiet, unassuming man
with the square jaw and the clear
blue, penetrating eyes, who next to
Field Marshal Won Hindenburg is the
most popular military leader in Ger
many today. Like Won Hindenburg,
Lieut.. Gen. August Won Mackensen was
practically unknown even in Germany
until he penetrated the iron ring of
the Russian forces around LODI early
in January and achieved victories over
superior Russian forces at Lowicz and
Wloclawek. His recent victories in Ga
licia have won for him the Iron Cross
of the first and second class and the
elevation to the highest distinction in
the German army-the title of field
marshal.
Won Mackensen was born on De-
cember 6, 1849, being the second son
of a country gentleman" in Merseburg,
Saxony. His father intended to make
a lawyer out of him. He graduated

BEST KIND OF BARLEY
Common Six-RoWed Variety Has
Been Found Preferable.
Plant Is Shallow Feeder, Its Roots
Growing Near Surface 81 soiI-No
Crop Responds More Quickly
to Good Tillage.
CRy r. A. sroNEl

Barley commonly is classified as
;ix-rowed, four-rowed and two-rowed.
There are bearded, beardless and hull
less varieties under these classified
tions and there are also fall and
spring varieties as In wheat The
term variety is used by seedsmen,
plant breeders and farmers In a wider
and less rigid sense than that ap-
piled by the botanist. Races OF bar
ley, the type OF which has been mate
rally changed by careful selection or
cross breeding for period of years,
in common practice are designated as
varieties" Where a superior barley
has been developed from single seed
and carried through a course of sew
eral years breeding by selection or
Adjudication and selection and a rec
ord kept of the same, it is known as a
pedigree barley.
Experiments with two-rowed barley
through several years breeding work,
clearly prove that the farmer, gener-
ally speaking, can not get the returns
rom this crop that can be secured
with the six-rowed variety. 1t is not
as uniform in breeding as the six
rowed barley. The straw is frail and
lodges easily, thereby injuring the
quality of the grain and reducing the
yield.
Barley is shallow feeder, its roots
growing near the surface of the soil.
It does not feed so extensively as oats
or wheat. therefore it requires a well
subdued. mellow, rich soil with fertil-
lty near the surface. No crop responds
more readily to good tillage and the
prudent farmer soon finds that it will
amply repay him to put extra cult
walton with disk and fine tooth harrow
upon the land in preparing a good
mellow seed bed. It is useless to try
10 grow barley upon poor sandy lands
or worn out soils, neither does it do
we'll on ground that has been newly
cleared, or where the land is In poor
tilth or not well drained.

ERADICATING CERTAIN WEEDS

E-st
Chicory, dandelion, and the plan
tains. when growing in farm lands.
can be easily eradicated by clean cul-
tivation. The first two possess tap
roots and the plantains have shallow
crowns with fibrous roots, so that
none of the weeds spread rapidly
from their underground parts. In a
good farming region, especially where
a short rotation is followed, these
weeds are not much in evidence, ex-
cepting where buckthorn plantain is
seeded with clover seed. Care should
be taken that only clover seed free
from the buckthorn is sown, especially
where a crop of clover seed is to be
harvested.
The handling of weeds along road
sides and fence rows is a problem in
itself All the aforementioned weeds
are inclined to grow in such situa-
tons and their complete eradication
there is rather difficult. Usually it
does not pay to attempt complete
eradication in such situations, since
they do not spread to the adjoining
farm land if it is well farmed. About
all that needs to be attempted in such
places is to prevent seed production

CHALcIS FLY HURTS ALFALFA

Dean of Kansas College Tells OF
Preventive Measures.

''For the past seven or eight years
Kansas growers Of alfalfa or clover
seed have suffered considerable losses
from the damage of the clover chal-
els fly" says George A. Dean, pro-
lessor of entomology in the Kansas
state agricultural college. "At the
present time there seems to be no
specific remedy or cure, but the ex-
termination of this pest would be
aided If few simple directions were
consistently followed"
The clover chalcis fly, or as it is
better known, the alfalfa chalcis, is a
small, four-winged insect about one
tenth of an inch long. The adult
flies deposit their eggs in the soft,
partly grown seeds. Here the eggs
develop and the larvae feed upon the
inner portion Of the seeds. At the
time when the seeds become ripe,
most of the larvae are emerging as
