FARMERS WORK
IS EXTENSIVE
Interest in Various Phases of
Rural Activity is
Widespread.

That there is a widespread inter-
est in scientific farming in Indiana
is shown by the following reports of
county agents made 20 the agricul-
tural extension department at Pur-
due university
O. B. Burren. Warrick county
There is a great deal Of interest
being manifested in Japanese clover
as a result of $500 circular letters
distributed and an article in the local
papers. one dealer i'm Boonville has
already sold over 100 bushels of
seed and two other dealers are also
handling it, There Will be about
1000 acres planted in the county
this spring"
J. :. Bordner. 81. Joseph county
Through the efforts of Messrs. Oshel
and Birmingham "a COW testing asso-
citation has been organized in st Jo-
seph county. Two parties have
agreed TO pay the tester for the
three days each month The herds
average about 10 cows each. This
new organization will have valuable
demonstrational evidence to the
other dairymen Of the county on the
essentials of economic production"
Otis Crane Grant county-"This
week we held a three days farmers
short course at Sweetser. We had
stock Judging. corn and poultry
show with demonstrations in judg-
ing There were y head of horses,
four head Of hogs and one dairy COW
used in the judging work. We also
had fine series of lectures during
the day and each Of the three even
ings."
G. +. Metzger. Elkhart county
The school survey just completed
shows that the county had 1000
acres of growing alfalfa. Less than
half the acreage was inoculated be
fore seeding and only about 500
acres We're lined. Another reason for
the many failures and small acreage
seems To lie in the fact that farmers
of the county generally think Sep
TENDER is the time 10 SOW which is
too late for this latitude We have
approximately 500 silos i'm the coun-
ty - Of which are in Middlebury
township. Ten townships report po-

acres of peppermint and spearmint

HAPPENINGS IN AND ABOUT TOWN

From now or fIhng this column
is goin'a be work
one OF the best pastimes of the
season is listening 20 various and
numerous candidates as they outline
the reasons why they should be ia
vored with the nomination by their
respective parties.

ticket in the field for the March pri-
maries. and at the closing OF the

posed land and colonization scheme
around Magdalena bay.
The Investigation made by the state
department under the direction OF Sec
rotary Knox did not disclose that any
foreign government was directly in
terested in the project. A full report
was made to the senate on the subject.
Nevertheless, the senate thought it
wise to pass the resolution introduced
by Senator Lodge, which was in sub
stance a declaration that the United
States would regard the establishment
of any foreign power at Magdalena
bay as an unfriendly act. This was a
notice to Mexico, as well as to Europe
and Asia.
Magdalena bay itself is thoroughly
known to the American navy. When
President Roosevelt started the Amer
lean fleet around the world, POrfiriO
Diaz seized the opportunity to show
his friendship for the United States and
to demonstrate that he had no fears of
Interior purposes on our part. He ex-
tended the hospitality of Magdalena
bay as a naval station for three years.
La Paz, which is on the gulf, has
been used as a cOaling station by the
United States. The station is not far
from the old cove which was the rem
devious of the Dutch pirates in the
days when the Gulf of California was
known as the Sea of COrtez.
La Paz is actually the metropolis of
Lower California. The United States
maintains a consulate there, and there
used to be a small American colony
engaged in business. There were also
some adventurous Americans who did
not know just why they were there.
Should the military leaders of what
exists of the Mexican army in Lower
California decide to set up dictator
ship and call it a republic, La Paz
would be the center of a good deal of
interesting news. But there would also
be interesting news from Ensenada, on
| the Pacific coast, which is much nearer
to American territory and with which
communication is much easier.

KOVEL A STRATEGIC CENTER
junction Point for Several Railways
and Capital of Rich Agri-
cultural District.

Kovel, town of 10000 people at the
beginning of the war, owes it's i'm
mense strategic Importance to the fact
that it is the junction point for rail-
roads which radiate, like the spokes
from the hub of a wheel, in five di-
rections. To the northwest, II miles
distant, is the strongly fortified city
of Brest-Litovsk, over whose posses
sion there was a terrific struggle
when the Germans were folding the
Russians back through Poland after the
first Slav drive early in the war, says
| a National Geographic society bulletin.
| To the southeast, 81 miles away, is
Rovno, a fortress with a population of
10000 at the outbreak of the war and
at that time the headquarters of the
Eleventh Russian army corps. Lublin,
with $4,000 inhabitants, is 100 miles
due west, on the railroad running to
Warsaw, 200 miles away. Then to the
south is acknowledgment, 50 miles
distant, and to the east runs the line
which passes through Sarni on its
way to Kiev.
In addition to these railway connec-
| tons, Kovel is situated on the banks
of the Turiya, one of the tributaries
of the Pripet river, whose extensive
marshes lie to the north where forests
cover the land. In the neighborhood
of Kovel. however, agriculture is well
| developed and at the beginning of the
war fully one-fourth of the land con-
tiguous to the city was devoted to the
production of cereal crops. The peas
ant farmers in the district of which
Kovel is the capital, like those of Vol
hynia generally, are more fortunate
than the peasants in most of the Rus
sian provinces, for here they own
nearly so per cent of the land.
West of Kovel is the famous battle
field of Dubfenka, on the banks of the
Bug and ten miles south of Dorochusk,
town on the Lublin-Kovel railroad.
1t was here that Kosciusko, at the
head of 1000 men with ten cannons.
offered a heroic resistance to $4,000
Russians with GO guns. After holding
the superior force in check for five
DAYS. the "hero of Dubienka" retired
| unmolested TO Warsaw. This brilliant
achievement took place just nine years
after a grateful American congress
had offered its public thanks TO this
| Polish artillery officer, conferred upon
him the rank of a brigadier general,
extended him the privileges of Ameri-
can citizenship. and given him landed
estates in appreciation of his distin-
| guished services to this country as adj
/ iutant to General Washington during
! the Revolutionary war.
