DESTROY GERMAN SUBMARINES
Battleships Of Allies Have Made But
Little Progress in Weeks Battle
Against Dardanelles, Says Mason.
BY j. w. MASON

New York, March 8.The silence
OF the German submarines about the
British Isles has been the signal fact
|of the weeks war news. It is prob
able that three Of the submarines
have been sent permanently to the
bottom, but this cannot be held ac-
countable for the sudden cessation Of
|Germany's new warfare on British
merchantmen.
The most probable Interpretation
is that the German government has
Intentionally ordered suspension Of
submarine hostility. It is doubtful,
however, whether this is due to nee
[essity. Some specific purpose is the
more probable reason. AT the pres
ent time England is engaged in se-
rious controversy concerning her
right to force an economic and food
crisis upon Germany and German
craftsmanship may have reached the
conclusion that it is, better to keep
their submarines quiet until the neut-
raj policy toward the embargo prob
lem is known. Germany might he
strengthened in her policy with the
neutrals
Made Little Progress.
Allied warships have made little
progress during the week in their
bombardment of the Dardanelles for
tifications. Extravagant reports from
Athens and Rome have been in CON
|stant circulation, indicating remark
able gains by the Warships and sue
cessfuI maneuvers by large allied
ARMY on the Gallopoli peninsula.
These rumors have no more import
|ance than Levantine bazaar gossip,
which doubtless is the origin. The
reported intention of Russia's Black
sea fleet to force the Bosphorus and
reach Constantinople is unbelievable.
The Bosphorus is eighteen miles long
and heavily fortified. It is only
EE#ffrsm 1-3 to Ia miles wide: SIf the
Slavs overcome those handbags they
will have won the highest honors of
the war.
Details Not Reliable.
Unofficial dispatches from Petro-
grad, describing the Austro- German
campaign in Eastern Galicia and the
|Carpathians as collapsing, are not
confirmed. It is evident that an in
tense struggle is proceeding for the
possession of the Dneister river and
the slavs are holding the important
| highway crossing at Malitz and thu
railway crossing mile and q half to
the east. Beyond this fact there are
no reliable details. The Russian
rally, which followed Won linden
berg's victory in East Prussia, has
diminished in violence. The Slavs
have been stopped some distance from
the East Prussia frontier. At the
same time the count r-offensiye of the
Russians has prevented the Germans
making Roadway through the north.
Evidence is accommodating that the
labor situation in Great Britain is
not quite satisfactory and that the
censor is concealing the true condi-
tion of affairs. It is impossible to ac-
cept sudden stopping Of sailings be-
tween New York and British ports
on any other grounds than the refusal
Of British strikers to return to work:

1.-THE farmers OF the Prairie country
regard the outlook for the crops and
prices to be the most encouraging

ed" said w. ]. Jordan. general agent
OF the Northern Pacific, who return
cd yesterday from a several days
visit to the prairie country. Mr.. Jor-
dan Is well acquainted with ell sections
OF the prairies and Is familiar with the
conditions prevailing there.
''The season IL early for the prairie
ana seeding has been commenced in
many localities" continued MIR. Jordan.
''The acreage OF fall grain was very
large and from appearances the fall
grain passed through the winter without
being damaged. The ground Is In fine
condition for Spring blowing and the
teams are In the fields from early in
the morning until duslS at night.
''There Ia no scarcity Of moisture at
the present time but the farmers are
anxiousiy awaiting rain just the same.
The work 10 30 well along that they
would be glad to lay up for week or
ten days because of rain and they feel
the usual spring showers would then
assure them Of big yield. 1t is
probably more an apprehension that
something win happen to reduce the
yield because of the prospects OF big
prices that is causing the farmers to
become concerned about rain at this
time, because there has never baen q
season when the prairie country has
not had an abundance OF rain after
this date.

"The- action Of Governor Alexander

prairie as would 9 coal Of fire in q keg

lied that the people OF the prairie
country have always been keenly In
terested in the annual stock show and
have given the show liberal support.
but the action OF the governor has
brought out many new friends for the
institution who have heretofore been
loyal but never have taken an active
part
"There is a strong sentiment In the
upper country that the counties should
now rally to the support Of the show.

show Is too important to the develop

the tree and the lack of soil moisture
to supply the tree with the amount
extracted from it even though ia the
dormant season. Too many orchard
soils are too dry In the fall for the
best orchard practice and the error Is
caused by the very proper admoni-
ton of experts to caution the orchard
lists against having the trees growing
too late In the fall, especially the
young orchards. 1t is the proper thins
to mature the trees in early fall for
young orchards but IL should not be
done at the expense OF drying out the
soil and this applies to other farm
crops also. After the trses have ma
tured, the soil moisture should be
watched and kept amply supplied, as
no damage a result to a mature
tree as a result of : oper al moisture.

County Experts Invaluable.

from the standpoint of general princi-
pies and observation in soil studies.
There are important variations that
might be considered In the above sug-
gestions to get the true analysis of
any phase of 1t and hence the import
ance Of the farmer calling to his as
sistance the county agricultural ex-
pert OF his c%o-laborers from the state
are anxious to serve the farmer, and
g%ratituously. Some farmers are retic-
ent in calling in the experts for fear it
will display ignorance and they con-
tinue to suffer their troubles unneces-
sarily. Calling in the expert shows
ihteiiigeuce, because IL shows that one
wants to make sure he is right and
every progressive farmer should be
right when there is a chance for him
to be so, especially when he pays for 1t
in his taxes.
1t takes experience to appreciate the
experience of another aud hence the
experts appreciate the experince the
farmer can give him and which ever
farmer, In fact, can do, and his in
formation the expert a convey tt

surprised at what he can teach tb'
