Farm Work Delayed, Says
Weather Bureau Report.
ShOwery and Cool Weather
During Last Half.

The week ending Tuesday was a
fine growing week for wheat, oats, al
falfa and pastures in Kansas. accord
ing to the summary of weather and
crop conditions for the week issued by
the weather bureau. 1t was generally
too wet for farm work, especially in
the eastern counties, where, in many
places there was over an inch of rain
The first three days were warm and
dry and working the soil was resumed
in places, but this was followed by
showery and much cooler weather in
all parts the rest of the week. Very
few counties reported the need of
more moisture as the week closed.
Temperatures were below freezing on
Friday and Saturday mornings.
though there was no damage from
them.
The outlook for wheat has i'm
proved noticeably this week, especial
ly in the western counties where
wheat was retarded by dry weather
the latter part of the winter. Its con-
dition is reported TO be good to excel
lent except in some north-central
counties. where a small per cent has
been abandoned.
Corn Planting Delayed.
oats and barley are up and growing
nicely and no complaints as to their
condition have been received. Corn
planting was at a standstill all week
with a few warm, dry days it will be
in full swing.
Alfalfa and grass have made a good
growth except in a few northern coun-
ties, where it was too dry. In Reno
county alfalfa is a foot high. though
it has not made such rapid growth
farther north. Pastures are greening
up in the western counties and are
ready for stock in the eastern.
In many places early potatoes have
been planted three weeks and are
barely beginning to come up. In the
southeastern counties they are rotting
badly
Apples of every variety and also
strawberries are very promising and
grapes have wintered well. Early
cherries, plums and some apples are
blooming in all the eastern halt of the
state.
Report From Washington.
Washington, ID. c., April 19.-While
the condition of winter wheat con-
tinues very poor in the central part
of the region conditions have been
generally favorable for the growth of
winter grains and they have made a
steady Improvement this week though
there is some complaint of the Hes
sian fly. In the central part of the re-
gion the weather has been favorable
for the preparation of the ground and
spring seeding, and this work has pro-
crossed satisfactorily. Corn planting
has begun as far north as the lower
Ohio valley, and the crop is starting
well in the southeastern states. Oats
in the central states are making sat
isfactorv growth. Pastures, grass and
meadows are also making satisfactory
progress.

FOOD FOR GERMANY.
Roumania to Supply Austrians and
i Germans With Grain.

The Bucharest correspondent OF
the Secola, a newspaper of Milan'
italy, says that the second contract
for 100000 carloads of corn, eoats
barley and other cereals has been
settled between the Austro- German
syndicate and Roumania and that it
only remains, to arrange the method
OF payment. It is said that the Aus
tro-Germans have agreed to deposit
half the sum involved in the National
Bank Of Bucharest. The delivery OF
SC, ,0G0 carloads of the first contract
will be made a month earlier than
was expected as the Danube has not
frozen over this year.
The correspondent adds that the
Austro- Germans also have undertak-
en- to purchase any surplus left over
from the 1915 crop above the 100,-
600 carloads mentioned and after
Roumania's s own needs are supplied.
Other contracts, he says, finally have
been entered into, including one for
the purchase of locomotives in Ger
many. A special committee is to
draw up list of articles needed by
Roumania, which will be exchanged
against articles needed by Austria
and Germany.

ENLISTMENT IN IRELAND.
Farmers of Auld Sod Are Not Eager
to Go to War.

Irish recruiting is proceeding in
| accordance with the expectations of
the military authorities, according to
Dublin, Ireland, dispatch. 1t receiv-
| ed a great FLIP from the visit to CAL
way of the lord lieutenant and John
| Redmond. The scenes in the Galway
streets exceeded in the number of the
| crowds and the enthusiasm Of the
welcome previously experienced in
the same city at purely nationalist
demonstrations.
The main difficulty about Irish re-
cruiting is the reluctance of the farm
! ers to enlist. The trouble was also
found in England and indeed in all
| countries the man on the farm is the
most reluctant fighter. There has
been a good deal of argument in Ire
| land as to the respective contribu-
tions of unionists and nationalists,
and some bandying of criticisms in
the party newspapers of each side.
But the real line of distinction is be-
tween town and country. In all parts
of Ireland the townmen have joined
in large numbers in proportion to the
population. In no part of Ireland
have the farmers done anything like
so we'll.
Lord Wimborne noted that at least
twenty Irish towns claim to be at the
top of the list in the proportion of
men recruiting and that Ballina chal-
lenges Belfast. In some small towns
the average has been higher than in
England. Mr.. Redmond did not
mince his words in his appeal to the
farmers to come forward. He believ-
ed that they would have most to lose
from a defeat in the war, and he told
them that if they would not fight for
their land and let the townsmen do
the fighting for them their position
was contemplate. There has been
much improvement in the way OF
approaching the people with recruit
ing appeals and so far the result has
been admittedly satisfactory. But
eleven hundred men week at least
are wanted and the effect to keep up
the supply will be steadily maintain

s. E, SHOWS LARGE GAIN
MAKES GOOD ADVANCE IN MANU-.
FACTURES.
Increase of Capital Nearly O,OOO,-
600, or II Per Cent. Added to In
yestment Within Five Years.

Washington, March pa gain OF
almost 100000 or II per cent. OF
capital invested in the State in 19l 4
over 1909 is indicated by figures OF
the United States census bureau made
public here today when statistics for
South Carolina were shown.
The population of South Carolina
at the census of 1910. was 1,5l5,40O
and it is estimated that it was l.
$4,000 on July 1, 1914.
The summary shows consider
able increase at the census of 1914,
as compared with that for 1909. In
the order of their Importance, from a
percentage standpoint, the increases
for the several items rank as fol-
lows: Materials, S7.2 per cent; pri-
mary horsepower, 23.1 per cent;
value of products, 22.7 per cent; sal
aried employees, 21.7 per cent.
The capital invested, as reported
in 1914, was s2O3,211,ooo, a gain of
s29,990,00O, or 17.3 per cent. over
s173,331, 900 in 1909.
The value of products was $685.
8s1 900 in 1914 and s113,23e,Ooo in
1909. the increase being s25,655,OOO,
or 22.7 per cent. The average per
esta ablishment was approximately
$4,000 in 1914 and $4,000 in
1909.
The value of products represents
their selling value or price at the
plants as actually turned out by the
factories during the census year and
does not necessarily have any rela-
tion to the amount of sales for that
wear. The values under this head al
so include amounts received for WORK
done on materials furnished by
others.
81 The salaries and wages amounted
to s2s,o52, 900 in 1914 and to $24'-
III 900 in 1909, the increase being
ss4.935, ,000 or 205 per cent.
The number of salaried employees
was 1874 in 1914 and 73,o46 in
1909. the decrease being 1,l32, or
Il 5 per cent.

Teachers Cottages.

l0dCu0IS COILdSSo, ASSISu w 'AAS
community in or near the school
house, and used not only as the teach
er's residence but also as the COM
munity centre, are advocated in a
bulletin prepared by R. S. Kellogg
and distributed by the department of
the interior through it's bureau OF
education to county superintendent
and other officers in charge of rural
schools. The bulletin describes the
movement for teachers residences in
rural districts and gives plans for
cottages of various sizes and types.
Lack of suitable boarding accom-
modations is one of the most serious
difficulties in the way of securing
suitable teachers for country schools,
the bulletin declares. There are
more than 100000 rural school dis
>tricts in the United States and over
100000 children Of school age
who live in the country or in towns
of less than $500 population, yet it
is impossible because of the living
conditions to get teachers Of the high
est type to remain in the country.
Mr.. Kellogg says: MANY farm
houses have no accommodations
whatever for teacher, and often
kitchen, living room, and dining
room are combined in one, with no
heat in any other room in the house.
The farmer and his family have to
spend most of their time working in
doors or out, eating and sleeping.
Their occupations and hours of labor
in no way correspond to those of the
teacher, which increases the difficult
ty of fitting the teachers necessary
habits to those of the farmer with
any satisfaction to either. A good
teacher must spent considerable
amount of time almost every evening
upon school work, for which a quiet,
comfortable room is essential. II she
insists upon such room when she
goes to board in the country she is
likely to be considered ''stuck up
and exclusive. If she gets room by
herself it is often unheated and too
uncomfortable for study in cold
weather.
"On the other hand, if the teacher
is forced to spend her entire time in
the living room with the rest of the
family, she has no opportunity to
prepare properly for her school du-
ties, and is also very likely to be
drawn unavoidably into neighborhood
gossip and factional disputes to the
detriment of her teaching influences.
Many of the better situated families
in the country districts who have the
facilities, do not care to take'a steady
boarder, so that if teacher gets a
place to board at all she may be fore
ed to go to farm houses, where only
the barest accommodations can be
secured"
It is because of these conditions
that the teachers cottage movement
has developed rapidly in the past few
years. until. according to an investi-
cation by J. c. Muerman, of the bu-
reau Of education, recorded in the
bulletin, there are now one or more
teachers cottages in every State, and
in the State of Washington, where
the movement has been fostered by
