Never Saw CrOBS Better.

F. M. Rounds and J. E. Johnson CT
he Cottonwood country were here for
a short time this week. Mr.. Rounds
has lived in the northern part OF
Grant county for the last 81 years and
he says that during that time he
never saw crops so good as now. He
never saw grass and range so good.
He never saw grain so good and he
never saw garden stuff grow like it
does this year. Fruit is failure but
everything else is just simply fine

Many protests are being filed re-
garding the condition of the road a.
long Butter creek this side of the Jar

the road is badly cut up and some Of

is much heavy teaming between the

made soon the road will be impass-

Season for POtted Flowers and

Be Taken in Their Handling
Don't fuss with and handle
plants too much. Like human
beings they do not want to be
nagged too much" advises Hor-
ace F. Major of the College of
Agriculture of the University of
Missouri. There are four es-
sential things, he says, sunlight,
air, soil and water.
Sunlight is necessary to produce
proper chemical reactions in the
soil. Air is needed for breathing
for plants like humans breathe.
Plants absorb carbon dioxide
gas helping to purify the air in
the home. They should be wat
cred with judgment and wash
ed off. Blooming plants should
be repotted three times a year,
ferns every three years. Do not
crowd them into small pots. Vel
low leaves mean too much water
and brown leaves mean drouth.

Germanv and the BeIgians.

UcIUidNy anu the DClBldNS
Two outstanding events of the
late fall give impressive proof
of the cost of the war in men
to Germany. One is the ire
constitution" of Poland, the
other the expatriation of the
Belgians. One comes as a long
delayed promise of at least par
tial justice to an oppressed ma
ton; the other is a new oppress-
ion of a people that has suffered
much since the war began; but
there is no doubt that both steps
were taken in order to swell the
depleted ranks of the German
army, partly with Polish volun-
teers, partly with German arti-
sans released for service by the
Belgians who can be forced to
do their work.
It is not astonishing that Ger
many feels a desperate need of
men. From the first the poten-
tial numbers of the Central pow
ers we're inferior to those of
their enemies, and Germany has
lavished its strength not only in
costly offensives but in support
ing allies that without that help
would have crumbled away long
ago. Even those who wish well
to the Germans must be sorry
that their leaders felt obliged
to add another count to the in
dictment that already rests
against them in respect to Bel
GUM Our own government put
the matter politely enough when
it warned Germany that it could
not deport thousands of Belgians
and put them to forced labor in
Germany without producing an
unfavorable effect on neutral O.
pinion."
It may be true, as the Germans
assert, that the Belgians who are
deported will be better off in a
material way when at work in
Germany that they are in their
own unfortunate country; but
that is not the only aspect of the
affair. It has been long since any
civilized nation asserted the right
to remove the citizens of an occu
pied country from their homes
and to force them to labor fol
the benefit of their conquerors
The thing is repellent to the
modern mans sense of justice
and decency; it reminds him toe
strongly of the days when the
vanquished became the slave Of
the victor.
Germany argues, no doubt.
that its armies must be kept fill
led, whatever the neutral ma.
tons think about the means il
takes to fill them; but neutral
opinion is not a negligible thing
and it may finally have more tc
do with ending the war than the
troops that the labor of the de.
ported Belgians will add to TIL,
armies of the ~Kaiser.-Youth',
Companions.

Quantity of Feed Important for
Wintering Dairy Cows.

Quantity of feed ranks next
to the kind of feed in dairy ra-
tons. Economical feeding de-
mands that cows be fed as in
dividuals, and not as a herd. Too
frequently each COW in a herd is
fed the same amount of grain,
regardless of how much milk
she is producing. BY this prac-
tice some cows will be underfed,
while others will be overfed.
1t should be understood that
an animal always uses a GER
tain amount of the food it re-
ceives to maintain the body. This
is the first use to which the food
is put, and is called the ration
of maintenance. This amount is
required by the animal whether
or not she is producing milk. All
feed above this amount is used
for milk production, or is stored
On the body of the animal as fat.
In case Of the young animal part
of this excess is used for growth.
Of the two mistakes made in
feeding, perhaps underfeeding
is most common, according to
C. H. Eckles of the Missouri
College of Agriculture. It is a
serious mistake to feed a COW
only enough to keep up her body.
She must receive feed to keep
her milk production up to capac-
ity. If a COW loses weight while
in milk, she is not receiving suf-
ticient food. A good COW, if not
fed enough, will produce milk
for a time at the expense of her
body; that is, she will take the
surplus flesh from her body and
convert it into milk and there
by will lose live weight. On the
other hand, when a COW is over.
fed she will begin to fatten in 3
short time. This condition NAV
be corrected by giving her only
the amount she needs for main.
tenance and for milk produc.
ton. Such feeding will main.
tain practically a uniform
weight.
Roughness is the first impor
tant consideration in feedin,
cows. A COW is not ~contentec
unless her stomach is full. Sh,
should a ways have all tn,
roughness that she win clean III
and then the amount of grail
she receives should be regulate,
by the amount of milk produc
ed. A dry COW in good conditio.
should be fed roughness only
and does not need any grain. /
feeding grain to producing cow,
| the following rule may be usec
Z and is found t owork fairly well

New York Cotton.

New York, Oct. 10.-The cotton
market opened steady at an advance
of 5@15 points today and sold 15M
20 points net higher during the early
trading. with December touching
1928. or within. point of the re-
cent high record, which January ad-
vanced to 17.43c. The opening ad
vance here was hardly a full response
to firm cables, owing probably to Al
feeling that higher marine war risks
justified wider differences, but some
OF yesterdays sellers seemed to be
replacing their contracts on a less
aprrehensive view of the shipping
situation. There was also a renewal
of trade buying and the market was
fairly active during the early session,
with the firmncss of December en-
couraging some fresh buying of later
deliveries. Hs
The early advance carried October
contracts up to TIC for the first time
this season, while December sold at
1926, or even with the high level
of Saturday. aad January at 17.15c,
or about 15M22 points net higher
Some of yesterdays buyers seemed
to be selling on this advance, how
ever, while there was little more
hedge selling from Southern sources
and the market became unsettled late
in the morning with prices easing of
8 or 10 points from the best.
