PRODUCE AT HOME AND

Hurd and Watts Give New
Eng|and's Farming Needs.

"The individual, state or nation thu /

nearest to being self supporting. The
agricultural problem of Massachusetts
is to take care of the industrial life
that has developed conserve our soil
resources and make the most of our
agricultural advantages" says Director
William d. Hurd of the extension serv
ice, Massachusetts Agricultural college
Director Hurd points out the signiti
cant fact that the markets in Massa-
chuSetls are not supplied with the
things they want and need, even
though the same products could be
raised on the land within the state.
That the state only produces one-tifth
OF the poultry consumed and less than
tWo-thirds of the vegetables is showE
by the government records. Much OF
the 10000 acres within the state thai
are unimproved are adapted to the
growing of vegetables and to the pro
duction of poultry.
Dean Watts of the PENNSYLVANIA
State college says that the greatest
need of the eastern farmer. us com
pared with the farmer of the corn
belt, is better farming He points out
that there are Il number of good farms
but insists that the other farms be
managed better. Experience has
shown that proper tillage, the right
use of fertilizers, barn manure. good
seed, crop rotation and lining when
necessary insure farm prosperity"

Ohio, attention mnst be given to the
needs of the soil and of the ptlnts In

quality may be produced most econom-
ically and with greatest profits.

PROBLEMS THE SAME
IN CORN BELT STATES
Fertility Must Be Increased to
Make Soil More Productive.

New England farmers who have been
told of the rich soils and virgin lands
of Illinois and the other middle west
ern states will be interested in the
following editorial from the Illinois
Farmer, which demonstrates that con-
ditions there are little different from
those in many parts of New England.
The problems taken up as the most i'm
portant before the farmers of the state
today are the economic marketing of
farm products, the conservation Of soil
fertility and the increased productive
ness of the land The editor says in
part:
"In Illinois and every other state we
have taken more from the land than
we have returned. Even in fertile ILL
no1s we have done this to such an eX-
tent that Notwithstanding better meth
DDS of cultivation, our production per
acre has been at a standstill or has
actually decreased in some localities.
Conditions as regards price of land,
farm labor, etc, have made it abso-
lutely necessary that we adopt more
intensive methods. We must set ear
nestly at work 10 discover how best
not only to increase the fertility now
in our lands, but also to increase the
productiveness of that land effectually
and economically"

Had there been any doubt, it would have
been dissipated when the Governor, in
speaking before the Democratic conven-
ton last week, compared Woodrow Will
son with Washington and Lincoln. Many
things may be pardoned politician afame

but Governor is expected to restrain
himself, at least to the extent of refrain

Col. Roosevelt Sums Up wisconsin.


In his communique to the press given
out at Oyster Bay last evening, Colonel
Roosevelt sums up with deadly clearness
and precision the case against President
Wilson, his Administration and his party.
The facts are stated coolly, temporarily
and with unquestionable accuracy. The
differences are drawn with inevitable
logic. What rhetoric there is seems al
most weak and inadequate as applied to
the fatuous vacillation and criminal
wrong headedness established in the re-
cital. Colonel Roosevelt has never put
handicraft; its overwhelming effect arises
largely from Its moderation of tone.
President Wilson and his advocates
cannot evade this arraignment by plead
ing that it is indiscreet or perlous or dis
loyal to the country to assail the Govern
ment in a critical conjuncture. This
would be equivalent to saying that the
deeper the President and his party drag
the nation into embarrassment and dam
ger, the more they become immune from
criticism or rebuke. Plainly this is nom
sense. No one can shelter behind his
own blunders and crimes; nor can nation
al safety be found in keeping up pre-
tence that all is well when the terrible
fact is that the country's concerns have
been and are going steadily from bad to
worse with a blind and incompetent
Administration in control, blind, venal
and degenerate party behind it, the pub
lie misled by false information and torn
by a conflict of selfish and often IMAM
erican interests and foreign governments
tempted to regard US as people unable
or unwilling to assert our rights or up
hold our honor.
At such time, full exposure OF evil
may well be regarded as high public
service. Frank recognition by citizens
at large of what is the matter is the first
indispensable step toward correction.
Colonel Roosevelt has in fact done little
more than formulate ideas and convic-
tions which are widely held by men who
lack only his skill and authority to put
them into words. What he has said,
nearly all the country is thinking, all but
handful of fanatics of peace and peda.
gogy. Nor does the fact that we are on
the brink of presidential campaign lend
any color of improperly to the Colonel's
utterances. On the contrary, this is the
time to speak; this is the time to sum up
the Wilson policies and their practical
conse sequences. Now is the day to pass on
lneptitude and decide whether the coun-
try does or Goes not wish to prolong its
reign.

HOW GERMANY WAGES WAR.

With the beginning of the war Emper-
or William threw all considerations of
national honor to the winds. Treaties
We're torn up and 'frightfulness" was
made the keynote for the conduct of
military operations. The only limit set
upon officers was the ability of the enemy
to make greater reprissls. Belgium, with
the wholesale shooting of private citizens,
the destruction of Louvain, the introduc-
ton of poisonous gas, the use of liquid
fire, the spraying of oil on enemy
trenches and then firing it with incendiary
shells. the use of Zeppelins with which to
bomb undefended cities, the sowing of
the sea with floating contact mines, the
use of the submarine to STAY right and
left neutral and enemy alike, are some of
the methods resorted to by Germany, the
preparation of which hitherto would
have been thought possible only by un-
civilized barbarians or by the most de-
based type of civilized man.-Boston

Roosevelt on Wilson.
[From the Boston Transcript. ]

The arraignment of Mr.. Wilson's rec
ord in Mexico from Mr.. Roosevelt is
terrible because it is true. 1t il charac-
teristic because it is courageous. 1t is
significant because by his very extremity
of utterance Mr.. Roosevelt serves the
cause of national honor at the expense
of his own popularity. Throughout the
seven years of his presidency, remark
able as was that record. Mr.. Roosevelt
rendered no service of such vital value
to the nation as he is rendering toda, in
telling the American people an ugly
truth about themselves. Mr.. Wilson, of
course, as their chosen Chief Executive
is primarily responsible for the crisis the
country faces today, but the people of
the United States share in a measure his
responsibility because they have set su-
pinely by while he conducted his epistol-
airy campaign with Germany and do 1ged
his every duty across the Rio Grande.
Until there comes from the White
House an answer to Mr.. Roosevelt's
questions, until the President publishes
the names of the alleged plotters against
the peace of the United States. and sets
in operation the machinery of the Gov
and deserve the general suspicion that
his Sunday statement represented moth
ing more than an effort to draw red
herring across the trail of the "ghastly
misconduct" in Mexico of which his Ad-
ministration has been guilty for the last
three years. Ours is a self-governing
democracy in which the only sovereign is
the great body of public opinion. Our
people are entitled to the truth regard
ing conditions in Mexico, and this they
have been denied ever since Mr.. Wilson
entered the White House. Official re-
ports have been suppressed and distorted,
army and navy officers have been gagged,
and now, as last defence, the President
issues proclamation in which he warns
the nation "against crediting any story
coming from the border Is it surpris-
ing that the nation demands proof of the
Presidents sensational charges?
