Ill. SOIL TlllAGE,

By De F. Hungerford, Assistant Az
 ronomist, College of Agriculture
 University of Arkansas
 By constant observation and exper tmentation farmers have learned that certain practices are necessary for the production of high yields.
 Preparation of a Good Seed Bed {: Among those practices of foremost importance is the preparation of a good seed bed. The little roots of the young seedlings are too tender to force their way very far into hard ground in search of food If com. pelled to do so the amount of soil from which they can draw food and moisture ts necessarily limited, and consequently the plant is likely to be stunted.
 A good seed bed is deep, but not too loose. Land broken in the fall and left in the furrow over winter can be prepared for seeding by a thorough disking followed by a har- row. but if cover crop has been grown 1t should be broken again as carly as possible in the spring. This Is especially true if the cover crop .s pastursd. A roller seldom benefits heavy soils except when a large amount of organic matter such as ma nure or . green crop has been turned under just a short time before seed. ing.

BIG EVENTS.

1t is too early to say that the great
German attack on Verdun has failed.
The first gains were impressive, but
although the blows have grown con-
tinually weaker and the defense stiff
er, the Teutons are hammering away.
The Russian guns are drumming on
the eastern front and Grand Duke
Nicholas is sweeping westward in
Asia on a stretch of 700 miles.
The German drive at Verdun was
meant to anticipate and destroy the
spring offensive of the Allies. The
Russians attacking now, before the
spring thaw. expect to draw German
troops to the east and then hold them
there About the first day of May,
we may expect the long delayed allied
drive in the West, where the British

ready, and the French half million
So great an attacking force could
strike a terrific blow.

NEW YORK SYMPHONY.

1t is no small undertaking to bring
the New York Symphony Orchestra
to city the size Of Bismarck. Those
who have made the musical treat pos
sible should be rewarded by capaci-
ty house. The capital city has always
patronized first class productions in
the past and has earned the name
of being one of the best towns be-
tween St. Paul and the coast for at
fractions of all kinds.
Damrosch and his remarkable
orchestra need no eulogy here. Music
lovers the nation over know what
these two names stand for. Through
the generosity of Mr.. Flagler,
this wonderful organization carries
the stirring message of symphonic
music to several cities not so for
tunate as New York, Boston, Pitts,
burgh and other well known musical
centers.
The program is a popular one 1t
is a concert that anyone. trained or
unframed in the mysteries of music
can enjoy. It's appeal is universal.
Bismarck should pack the Auditor
UNI to the roof and maintain its
reputation as patron of the worthy
in art of all kinds.

HEALTH AGITATORS.

Mr.. Edward A. Morse, in the Ameri-
can Journal of Public Health, says
publicity will save more lives than
any other single agency.
Against the advice of numerous
friends whose judgment | value, g
says Mr.. Morse, 81 have adopted as
descriptive of my own work. the
title 'agitator.' | believe that is the
most apt word in the English
language to describe a publicist."
An agitator, contends Mr.. Morse, is
simply one who stirs things up and
gets people to think and talk about
them. And he urges everyone engag
ed in any way in public health service
to be an agitator. Manufacturing
public sentiment, he says, is impossi
BILE. But it can be consecrated OF
re-focused. And that is what he
wants public health officers to do, by
means of publicity.
BY publicity he means not only
that which comes through the press
though that is extremely valuable
but any effort to make people think
exhibits, lectures, lantern slides
placards, ordinary conversation.
By. publicity tuberculosis can be
prevented. epidemics controlled and
babies lives saved Publicity is the
one great agent of all reform. When
people really know about WRONG
things. when they understand
thoroughly that they are wrong, why
they are wrong, and how to right
them, the righting is merely a ques
ton of time. The days of mystery
about human ailments, their proven
ton and cure. are largely over
Health through publicity is the order
of the new day.

ton of the Thos. Ince type, surround
ed with the All-Star Griffith cast.

with much interest in this big pro-
duction.
A big feature of all the Triangle
programs and one that has made it
SO immensely popular is that each

MORE BILLIONS.

The success of the latest German
war loan seems to indicate no lapse
of loyalty on the part of the German
public. The people have as much
faith in ultimate victory as they
had a year ago, and are as ready as
ever to give their last mark to carry
on the struggle.
The first popular loan brought in
$1,125. 000,000; the second,$2, 250, 000,-
600; the third, s., 125, 100000. 1t may be
assumed that the only reason it has
failed to equal the largest previous
sum raised is that thele is not so
much money now available in the
country in the form of cash and ne
gotiable credit.
The government, however, will not
benefit from these huge subscriptions
as fully as the figures would seem to
imply. The previous war loans make
so large a total that it now requires
1925, 100000 a year TO pay their &C
cruing interest. Perhaps that sum
will be deducted from the new loan
Another deduction of $3.50, 1000 ,O0C
might properly be made to allow for
depreciation of German currency,
which has reached % per cent. That
would reduce the proceeds from the
loan nearly $l,0O0,000,O00, leaving a
net sum at the governments dispos-
al of only $1,675,000,000 instead of
$3.50, 100000

COMFORT AND STYLE.

What has style to do with comfort?
Nothing at all. according to the testi-
mony in a New York lawsuit A
woman had refused to pay for dress
made for her, on the ground that it
was ugly, and ill-titting, and altogeth-
err an instrument Of physical torture
A supposedly we'll qualified witness
testified that. while all these allega-
tons might be true, the gown was
nevertheless undeniably stylish, and
the customer had therefore no legiti-
mate ground for complaint And the
court upheld this view.
The truth has long been suspected,
but it is just as well to have sartorial
and judicial verifcation. Hereafter
let no woman-or man, either-make
any claim to beauty or comfort in
the matter Of clothes. If garment
is fashionable, that ends the argu-
ment. And many of the late modes
lead us to suspect that the fashion
ableness-and therefore the desirable
ness-is just about in proportion to
the ugliness and discomfort.
There are some exceptions, as in
the case Of women's shortened and
lightened skirts, which certainly tend
toward comfort. But in general. the
rule holds. How else can we explain
women's hats ond heels and thnly
clad ankles, and mems stiff collars.
silk hats and long-tailed evening
coats?

Business Now Chaotic.

Film men. the country over, agree
that the business is chaotic and un-
economical; that too many pictures
are made, too poor in quality and too
greatly padded. The answer is this

work with the distribution, permitting
artistry to rule the production. ..
