WHEAT AND DAT ACREAGE
WILL BE CUT SHORT

j. j. Eaves of Pooleville was in the
city today and stated that the wheat
crop had been badly damaged by the
recent cold snaps and continued freez-
es and that lot of it would be plow-i
ed up this spring. He states that mo- !
more than one-third of stand could
be seen anywhere. The oat crop will
be short over what it was last years.
Instead of wheat and oats, however,
there will be an increased acreage
of kafir feterita, and milo maize.

Made Sliaht Mistake.

This may be old enough to raise
whiskers, but a newspaper friend re-
lates it as recent happening. A
teacher in one of the New York
schools instructed her class of boys
to write an essay on "judicious.' One
youngster. a Jewish lad, raised his
hand first. The teacher instructed him
to read his essay on Judicious. "On
our holidays" he began, we have

It is not necessary for us to add
any words to this story. The elo-

are more convincing than arguments
or affidavits. Who can doubt the

that Peruna saved his life?

It will be observed that Rev. Rob

to use Peruna, before he wrote the
above letter to The Peruna Co. SO
that his apparent recovery could not
possibly have been temporary relief.

GERMANY ADMITS
SINKING VESSELS

Washington, April 14-Germany is
unable to ascertain whether it was a
German submarine that sank the Sus-
sex.
This statement is made in Berlin's
reply to Americas inquiry on this
point.
Regarding other British vessels ask
ed about by America Germany says,
briefly:
A German submarine fired two
warning shots to bring the English
man to stop March "a. She refused
to stop and therefore was torpedoed.
Precisely the same occurrences took
place regarding the Eagle Point and
BerWindvale-if in the latter case it
really was the Berwindvale, of which
Germany is not sure.
1t is impossible to ascertain wheth-
er a German submarine attacked the
Manchester Engineer. Statements re-
garding time and place afford no suf-
ficient basis for reaching a conclusion.
Regarding the Sussex Germany
says that, in the region where the
packet was sunk and about the same
time, a long black craft without a flag
was encountered about the middle of
the English channel by German sub
marine. The commander reached the
conclusion it was a war vessel and
sank it.

FIND NEW USES FOR
THIS ROADSIDE PLANT

Railroad entertainments and road
sides will not be the only places
where sweet clover will grow in
Wisconsin this year.
Owing to it's hardness and its
range of adaptability to various soil
and climatic conditions this plant,
once disregarded by farmers, has
suddenly leaped into favor in many
sections of the state.
Members of the Wisconsin Expert
ment association will make a num-
Der of tests to find out the seed pro-
ducing qualities of the plant growing
under various climatic and soil con-
ditions. Last year yields of from
two to eight bushels of seed to the
acre were obtained by experiments
in different parts of the state.
Tests are also being made to prove
or disprove the claim that sweet
clover is especially suitable for pas
lures on light soils, and to test it's
use as feed for dairy cattle.
The sweet clover experiments are
being made both with and without a
nurse crop, and on number of diff
ferent types of Wisconsin soils.
