Honolulu star-bulletin., 1916-04-05

The chancellor began his speech
with a review Of the military sifiia-
tiofi. He stated that since his last
speech in the Reicbstag, the Dar-
danelles enterprise Of the Allies has
ended as a failure; that the Serbian
campaign, together with the Aus
tro-Hungarian and Bulgarian Al
lies, was brought to a victorious
end; that Montenegro and Albania
likewise are now in the hands Of
the German allies; that the English
have attempted in vain to relieve
their force at Kut-El-Amara that
the Russians have succeeded in oc-
cupying Erzerun1 with superior
forces; that the Russian attacks
against the front in east Galicia and
the Italian attacks against the Ison-
20 position have been beaten back
The Russians, he continued, also
drove their columns against the
German lines but they broke down
before the resistance of Won Hin
denburg and his heroes. The enc
fny's reports that German military
force has been used up he branded
as erroneous. The Verdun battle.
he asserted, proves that where the
operations are prepared with pro-
found foresight and where the
bravery of the German troops is
tested. there is one advantage after
another gained.
The chancellor then expressed
the nations thanks to the soldiers
and their leaders. Discussing the
question of Starving Germany
out" he said:
Il understood that the enemy in
1915 would not give up this hope,
but | don't understand how cool
heads, after the experiences of
1915, can still cling to it. Our enc
mics forget that, thanks to the or
ganizilg power Of the whole nation.
Germany is equal to the task Of
the distribution Of victuals. They
forget that the German nation in
case of a real scantiness disposes OF
imposing moral reserves, which en-
able us to lower our standard Of
life. which had risen remarkably
during the last decades.
What would it mean if for in
stance the consumption of meat
would temporarily be lowered to
the level of the '70s? ! should
think that our adyersaries would
remember how strong was the Ger
man race IN those days

STARTING CROPS ON THE Jump
Good Seed And Seeded With Plenty
OF Plantfood Needed.

Starting alfalfa on the jump requires
that the seed bed be well prepared
and that the plants be given plenty Oh
nIant food. Alfalfa requires rather
compact seed bed. It's preparation de-
pends upon the preceding crop to
great extent. When seeded after early
crops, such as potatoes, the need OF
summer following is eliminated and
the farmer gets market crop during
the same season. The general prac-
tice is to plow the ground early, mar
row each week or ten days, until the
weeds are killed and the fine. firm bed
that is required is obtained. Many
farmers have received good stands by
seeding in the corn before the last
cultivation.
To secure quality seed. it is best to
test several different samples for pur-
ity and vitality. Five to rs pounds per
acre are recommended by various ex-
pertinent stations. Often the best re-
suits cannot be obtained without in
oculation. Commercial cultures recon-
mended for alfalfa incubation, can
be secured. Lime must be added
IL the soil 10 sour. and from 200
| to 500 pounds of fertilizer high
In phosphoric acid should be applied
previous to or when the seed Is sown.
Profitable alfalfa culture is not DIM
cult, IL careful attention is given to
details, from the preparation OF the
| seed bed to the curing of the hay.
