FALL FLOWING IS
ENDORSED By PAGE
Break Your Land This Fall
And Get Ready For Early
Start Next Spring.

One of the most beneficial, and
yet one Of the least practiSed steps,
in the permanent upbuilding of our
soil is that of fall breaking and
turning under of all the weeds, stalks,
stubbles and grass on the land after
the crops have been gathered. All
such vegetation will permanently
improve t h e soil by providing
humus, which is one of those ele-
ments necessary for soil building, to
say nothing of the fertilizing value
of the rotted stalks, etc. More fert-
ilizer can be applied in this way
than the average man puts on his
soil in the spring in the way of COM
mercial fertilizer.
Corn stalks are usually burned
before planting in the spring, and
yet the corn stalks, if chopped and
turned under in the fall, would be
worth more to the coming crop than
a three-hundred-pound application
of fertilizer of the kind generally
used. Break the land about an
inch deeper than it was broken last
year.
Aside from the fertilizing value
of fall breaking, it is the best farm
practise, because insects and crop
pests are exposed to the cold, and
their winter quarters are destroyed,
because deep breaking can be profit
ably practised in the fall, and not
in the spring, and because moisture
will be stored up for summer use,
the land will be in better shape for
quick planting, when planting time
comes, and because there is more
time for such work in the fall
than there is when spring work is
crowding, and because the stalks
and weeds will be in the way of
crop cultivation, if not burned or
saved for the soil by deep fall break
ing.
Break your land this fall; turn
under the stalks, stubble, weeds and
grass; kill out insect pests; get ready
for an early start next spring. On
some of the fall-broken land, plant
either clover, vetch, wheat, rye, oats
or alfalfa. All are good.

Commissioner of Agriculture

THE BATTLE Of
THE TIRES

agricultural and Commercial Press Service]
1t Is interesting to watch the forces
of civilization battling for supremacy.
The struggle now going on between the
rubber and the iron tire promises to
be the liveliest contest of the Twen-
tieth Century.
The struggle is silent one and
there are no war correspondents to
write vivid descriptions of the con-
fict but the results are more far
reaching to present and future gen.
erations than the war of Europe
The rubber tire has been maneuver.
ing for point of attack for several
years and has captured few unim-
portant positions in traffic, but it has
now pitched a decisive battle with
its iron competitor by hurling mil
lion "jitneys" at the street railways
and the battle is raging from ocean
to ocean. Upon the result of the
struggle depends the future of the
rubber tire. If 1t is compelled to re-
treat, its doom is sealed, but if it wins
the battle it will revolutionize the
transportation methods Of this nation.
II the rubber tire conquers the
street traffic it's next struggle is with
the railroads of the country, and then
the greatest battle between economic
forces ever fought out on the face
of this earth is on, for iron is the un-
disputed master in transportation, and
Is fortified behind billions of dollars,
and millions of men.
Stephenson applied the steel tire
to an iron rail in 1914, but it was 1869
before the golden spike was driven
at Promontory Point, which bound
the country together with bands of
steel. 1t took the iron tire fifty.fve
years to creep from ocean to ocean,
but the rubber tire while warm from
the creative mind Of the inventive
genius sped across the continent like
an arrow shot from the bow of Ulys-
ses. The roadbed was already pre-
pared and therein lies the power of
the rubber tire over that of iron, for
government builds and maintains the
public highway.
But iron Is a stubborn metal and
1t has mastered every wheel that
turns; has fought battles with every
element above and beneath the earth
and has never tasted the wormwood
Of defeat, and when rubber hurls its
full force against this monarch Of
the Mineral Kingdom, 1t may rebound
to the factory stunned beyond recov.
cry.
The rubber tire first made its ap.
pearance on the bicycle, but 1t proved
a frivolous servant and was dismissed
for incompetency. It has always been
too much inclined to revel in luxury
to be taken seriously as utility ma
chine and its reputation is not one to
inspire confidence in heavy traffic
performance.
But to those who care to watt into
dreamland, 1t is enchanting to note
that there will be marvellous differ.
ence between rubber and an iron
age. The rubber tire will scatter the
cities throughout the valleys for with
transportation at every mans door,
why city? 1t will traverse the con.
tinent with net work Of Macadam
highways as beautiful as the boule,
ward built by Napoleon. II will par.
alyze the law making bodies of this
nation for how could the legislatures
run without the railroads to operate
on?

Prevents a Real Hero from Be-

LONDON, Nov. 2--Why the young
navy officer who swan ashore from
g British submarine in the sea of
Marmora and blew up the Ismid rail-
way bridge in spite OF the Turkish
guard should receive only the Dis
inguished Service Order, her aston
ished the public, since SO many less
er heroes have received the greater
honor of the Victoria Cross. But
the award was. made under rule
that has long obtained in the service.
Even Lieutenant Holbrook would
have obtained merely the Distin-
guished Service Order for taking his
submarine through the mine field OF
the Dardanelles and sinking a Turks
tsh warshap had not the king himself
interviewed. 4.
BY the unwritten law OF the SER
vice, the Victoria Cross is awarded
for deed Of great gallantry per-
formed without orders and generally
for saving lives under fire. The Dis
ltinguished Service Order is for gal
lantry in ollowlng orders. Yet Lieu
tenant Guy Hughes, in blowing up
tho g1smid bridge, acted on his own
initiative from the time he left the
boat until he was picked up again,
and In popular opinion should have
received the more coveted medal. It
Is good deal like the case of Lieu
tenant Warneford in attacking and
wrecking Zeppelin, which resulted
in a Victoria Cross.
