London.-The destruction of a large

from Holding, Denmark.
A similar catastrophe was narrow

ammunitions factory there was saved
by the discovery that it had been un-
dermined preparatory to blowing it up.
1t is reported that arrests have been
made at-Bogden, and disconnected
workmen are suspected in both cases.

In Southern Serbia attempts by the

In Artois the Germans rained shells

other points in the Near East that
Russian troops already have entered

the most important developments OF

These dispatches were not con-

London to a promise said to have been
made by the Gar several days ago
that Russians would be sent to the aid
of the Serbians within a week.
Other dispatches tended to confirm
earlier reports that the great army OF
Russians, estimated at more tina
$500 900 men, were on the move into
Rumanian territory forty-eight hours
Oh more ago.
The fall of Monastir is conceded by
the Allies.
The whole Bulgarian army is pre-
pairing for an attempt, when the
weather permits, to drive the British
and French fol- es out of sFuthern
Serbia, and the Austrfans are reaay to
continue their efforts to overrun Mon

GROWING FRUIT ON DRY LAND
Important Point to Remember 10 to
Plant All Trees and Small Plants
Farther Apart Than Custom.

tBy JOHN ROBERTSON. Hot Springs
In growing fruit without irrigation,
all trees and small fruit plants must
be planted farther apart than is the
custom. This is very important
point to remember Where there is
little rainfall and a dry snbsoil. each
tree or plant must have enough indi-
vidual surface surrounding 1t to draw
moisture from, according to its size
and nature of growth. We cannot get
something for nothing. nor can We
grow plants without moisture; and
they must have enough to do their
best.
Those who are planting apple trees
l6 feet apart each way on dry subsoi
land cannot succeed. This is just as
certain as that two given numbers
make a certain sum In a mathematical
problem. Apple trees should not be
planted closer than 80 feet apart each
way. They will not need all the
moisture between them at this dis
tance apart until ten or twelve years
old, and small fruits or other crops
may be grown between them till about
this age, but one must use care and
judgment as to how much or how long
to crop between the trees. II is bet
ter to make the mistake of cropping
too little than too much. Trees plant.
ed 16 feet apart will grow as well as
those 80 feet apart for the first ten
years. IL there is nothing planted be-
tween them. but after. about that time
there will not be moisture enough to
supply the. increasing drain made as
they grow larger. Even II three.
| fourths of the trees we're dug out, moth
ing would have been gained. for the
orchard would only be starting to bear
paying crops of fruit. while II the
rows are 30 feet apart. and one row Of
small fruit plants are set between
each two rows of trees, by the time
the trees need all the moisture, the
small fruits will have done their best
and one can dig them up, feeling he
has been well repaid. 1t is important,
too. that the outside row of any kind
Of trees or plants be planted not closer
than Is feet from a prairie grass
growing border. There is little mois.
ture under prairie sod after a long
dry spell.

tivation before trees are planted, and
the last plowing should be extra deep.
because It is not going to be plowed
again and should be In condition to
take in heavy rainfall No expensive
tools are required: simply strong
12-inch plow set to run deep and a
good team to pull it.

MUCH IMPROVED DIRT ROADS
Intelligent Use Of Drag VIII Benefit
Roadway, No Matter What the
Nature Of the Soil la

The dirt road can be very much i'm
proved by the intelligent use Of the
road drag. This has been proved be-
yond doubt In the states that have
legislated in favor OF road dragging.
No matter what the soil, the intelll.
gent use of the drag will improve the
roadway. Mind you. ! used the word
intelligent, says q writer In Success.
full Farming.
A sandy soil Is hard to handle.
Where gravel is available gravel
containing considerable clay-a sur
facing of six or eight inches with this
material will greatly benefit a sandy
road.
The first thing essential In road i'm
provement is good drainage. You
first get the water away from the sides
of the road so the deep-seated road.
bed can dry out and harden. When
the side drainage is perfect, then the
next essential is to crown the road
so that surface drainage of the road
is perfect. Even a dirt road cannot
get very muddy II the water has no
chance to stand In the wheel tracks.
With surface water eliminated. and
ditch water taken care Of. the roadbed
cannot soften very much.
Every highway, whatever its con.
struction, should be patrolled by a
man who Is on the lookout for clogged
bitches and the breaking Of the road
surface. A shovel In the hands OF
road walker will do more to make
good roads than the most elaborate
outfit used only when roads become
impossible.

TIME FOR PLANTING ALFALFA
Best Results Secured by Doing Work
In Wettest Season Of the Year
Avoid Crust on Soil.

It Is very important when planting
the seed that no crust should form
above 1t, therefore 1t Is advisable
when using press drill to plant only
when the top inch is dry. The drill
with chain drags should be used in
clay soil or in moist weather. Half
an inch to an inch is the best depth
to plant it in sandy soil, but In clay
loan even less Ia better. The best
time to plant alfalfa is the wettest
season of the year. The seed is small.
1t cannot be put In very deep. and IL
1t sprouts and then dries out before
the next rain comes it is gone. For
this reason We do not recommend fall
planting.
Some have been successful with late
planting and recommend 1t to their
neighbors. but taking 1t by and large
we find that only about 40 per cent
obtain a stand. while spring planting

other work has been properly done
