Responsibility of

WAIINING GIVEN WILL BE CLAIM
OF GERMANY. THINKS
WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON, May THAT the
German government would repudiate
the responsibility toward the United
States for the Lusitania disaster was
the cOncensus Of opinion in official
circles. 1t is believed this expected
attitude will be based on the adver-
tisements published by the embassy in
New York newspapers on the day the
vessel sailed warning Americans
against travelling on British ships.
This warning, followed by the sinking
of the vessel. caused a comment con-
eerning a possible knowledge by the
German embassy of what was to hap
pen, but this is wholly unofficial.

PLAN TO HARVEST SORGHUMS
Heads Only Should Be Cut and Stalks
Left Standing in the Field
as They Grew.

A large part of the grain sorghums
grown in the Southwest should have
the heads harvested and the stalks left
standing in the field as they grew.
The acreage planted to these sure feed
crops would be largely increased if
the heads only were harvested. Most
of the growers have the habit of cut
ting the plants with binder and put
ting them in the shock, afterwards cut
ting the heads from the stalks. On
account of the shortage of cattle there
is not nearly so much demand for the
stalks as there is for the grain. Cut
ting the whole plants and shocking
them adds much to the cost where
grain only is needed.
A man with a heavy, short knife can
cut off the heads and throw them into
a wagon much faster than he can husk
ears of corn and throw them into a
wagon. The heads can be stored in
the same kind of cribs as corn and
just as easily.

Sweets is one of the very best water
melons for family use, early, sweet,

rind. This latter feature makes it an
undesirable shipper, but for family use
no better variety could be chosen.

or watermelons cannot be planted side
by side without mixing" by planting
the watermelons between this trouble
is obviated A half dozen hills of each

some to give away.

bers, as soon as danger from frost is

rows, and in each hill put a quarter of
a pailful of poultry droppings, mix
ing them very thoroughly with the
soil and being sure to keep them be-
low the surface.
Plant eight or ten seeds in a hill,
and thin cut all but three or four OF
the largest plants after danger from
frost and bugs is over.
The little striped squash bug soon
puts an end to the young plants unless
routed. 1t cares little about paris

This must be done after sunset or
before sunrise. During sunshine the
bugs take wing at the slightest dis
turbance Look for them, especially
on the underside of the leaves and
among the tiny leaves at the each of
each vine.
When this danger is over, the hoe
ing having been well done to keep
weeds down and soil loose, little more
will be required but to pick the fruit
as it ripens.

MUST HAVE SHOCKED JUDGE
What He Regarded as "DribbIings' OF

A distinguished member of the
United States judiciary has discov-
cred that he still has something to
learn in the direction of agriculture.
He bought farm as summer
home for his family. and finds especial
delight in walking about the place,
commenting on the condition of the
crops, and in many ways showing his
interest in his new possessions.
One evening during the summer he
was strolling over the farm. The
hired man had cut the grass during
the day-a very thin crop-and left
it on the ground to dry. The judge
saw it, and calling his man, he said:
1T seems to me you are very care
less. Why haven't you been more par
ticular in raking up this hay? Don't
you see that you have left little drib-
blings all around?s
For a minute the hired man stared,
wondering if the judge was quizzing
him. Then he replied:
