The United States is not at war,
but 1t has casualty list in some
callings OF a peaceable nature that
would put some OF the battles OF his
tory to shame. Down in the one
state Of California, for instance. 1876
people met death during the month
OF October In automobile accidents,
while the daily average OF deaths
through this cause in the state was
2.s for the previous eight months.
The number Of persons manned dur
Ing a four-months' period In the one
state was 2.ls5. A compilation for
the entire United States for a month
or year would make one conclude
that autoing was not so safe a busi-
ness after all.

.SLAv OFFENSIVE
IN THE BALKANS

London, Nov. 21.--Another Rus
sian offensive along the line from
Constanza to Cernavoda is now ex-
pected to increase the intensity OF the
fighting in the Balkans Military ex-
perts here today agreed this was the
only step which could be relied on
to lessen the weight OF General Won
Falkenhayn's tremendous pressure
on the Walachian frontier Of Rou-
mania--a pressure which 1t Is now
admitted constitutes the gravest men,
ace to Roumania.
The Roumanian army is In the
greatest danger OF being outfianked
II the German official statement spe-
cifying near approach OF the Teutons
to Craiova is accurate. The Rou-
manians are being forced back from
the valley of the jul.
Meanwhile Falkenhayn, with a
force estimated at half million men,
is sweeping around their rear. steadi-
ly lesscning the gap through which
they must retreat and circumscribing
that line OF retreat so that its direc-
tion apparently must be due east.
Unless there was a diversion some
where else in the Balkan campaign
to stop Falkenhayn's thrust. 1t APP
peared almost certain today, that COM
plete evacution OF the western part
OF Roumania would be necessary to
save the Roumanian army.
This diversion, II Is admitted, can
best be made by the Russians. be-
cause OF the ease of transporting re-
Inducements via the Black sea.
Hope also was expressed here to-
day that the pursuit Of the Teutonlc-
Bulgarian army thrown out OF Mona
stir would be sufficiently hot to halt
Falkenhayn.
Berlin official reports admit rein
forcement OF these forces. Mean
while experts believe General Sar-
rails. OF the allied forces. Is hurry
ing on to Prilep, to which point the
Teutonic forces withdrew, and plans
to throw out his columns in thrust
eastward against Negotin, on the
vardar river. Such blow would be
a menace to the Bulgarian positions,
and, II successfully maintained. fore
ing withdrawal OF the Bulgars
would open the way to further for
ward movement by the British expe'
dition operating northwestward from
Saloniki.

A QUESTION FAR FROM SETTLED

A QUESTION FAR FROM SETTLED.
The whole question Of the eight
hour day. which was Quieted for pur-
poses Of election by the forcing OF
the Adamson law through congress
BY President Wilson, is now again to
Be threshed out. The four brother
hoods Of railway trainmen are TAX
ing up the cudgel, and behind them,
though not afiiliated with them in
the fight. is the American Federation
Of Labor An eight-hour law to carry
justice and equality with 1t should
be universal. II eight hours is long
enough for one class OF labor to toll
ont Of the "a. It is long enough for
all, and increased pay under the guise
Of an eight-hour law is justice to no
one.
There is now pretty universal
sentiment in favor Of the eight hours
OF labor. But along with the short
ening Of the day there is an increas-
ing Of the cost OF production, a proper
increase, but an increase that must
be met by changed conditions all
along the line. This must be kept in
mind. for legislation can not stop at
fixing the hours alone. II the manu-
facturer Is to compete with the for
eign manufacturer, the shorter hours
or increased wage must be overcome
by adequate tariff protection. An
eastern writer says that. 1T may be
possible to pass a wage increase bill,
affecting a small percentage OF the
workmen in a particular industry,
without a protective tariff, and then
to call II an 'eight-hour' law. but 1t
isn't an eight-hour law. and even
such law will not benefit the very
men 1t is designed to help IL the
freight yards of the country are fll-
ed with idle freight cars as they were
in 1914, because American indus
tries have been destroyed by compe-
tition from abroad.
at would not help labor generally
to pass an eight-hour law for the
entire United States. II the industries
OF the United States are to he sub
jected to a competition which will
drive them out Of business. Adequate
protection for American industries Is
the foundation on which eight-hour
legislation must rest. Eight-hour
legislation built on democratic tariff
legislation would be a house built
upon qulcksand."

COUNTY AGENTS
NOTES


The sugar beet harvest Is about
completed for this season. In many
instances the tonnage has been dis
appointing, both to the grower and
to the sugar beet company. In
every particular instance where such
has been the case there is a percep-
tible reason. The one thing that
was. perhaps. the cause Of most
failures was the lack OF the proper
preparation OF the soil before plant
ing. Another reason was planting
OF soil that was wholly UNIT for
growing sugar beets. either on ae-
count OF lack OF fertility or being so
situated that II could not be irrl-
gated. J
As a matter OF fact the first ne
cessary essential for successful pro-
duction OF sugar beets is an ample
supply OF water for irrigation pur-
poses. Unless you can supply this.
II is Just as well that you give up the
idea OF growing sugar beets success
fully. II you are sure of this indis-
pensable essential. the next thing to
do Is to begin right now tho prepar-
alton OF your soil for next years
crop.
First OF all. level your ground so
that you may irrigate your crop uni
formly next year. II your ground is
uneven you will find II impossible to
get sufficient water on those that
grow on the high places without too
much on those that grow on the low
spots. n you stop irrigation when
those on the low places have sum
clent water. then those on the higher
ground will burn up. This will also
reduce your cost OF irrigation to q
minimum.
The next essential step Is TO plow
deep in the fall or early winter. A
farmer told me few days ago that
he was plowlng deep. ] asked how
deep. and he said, four or Ave inches.
That is simply tickling the surface OF
the soil. Plow ten or twelve inches
deep, and leave the surface rough.
Then plow shallow lin the spring,
four to six inches deep. and II your
subsoil Is In the least hard or stiff
put a subsoiler In and break mp the
bottom to depth OF sixteen ia
twenty inches. In some cases II will
be sufficient to put the subsoiler In
every other furrow. but II the subsoil
Ia at all heavy break mp the bottom
Of every furrow. This will open NJ
the lower soil and gives the beets q
chance to 20 down and make length
and consequently tonnage. Further
more this will bring into action new
soil that has not been used by other
crops.
The sugar beet expert tells you
that you can grow other crops better
after having grown sugar beets on a
piece OF ground for three or four
years. This Is absolutely true. pro.
vlded that you have handled your
soil in such manner that sugar
beet growing has been success. II
is not because you have added any
fertility to your soil, but because
