exploit he rallied go Of the valiant
mountain boys and on the ninth day OF
May, 17T5, succeeded in getting few
boats and transported SO men across
the lake, and sent the boats back for
| the rest of the men. But day now be-
gan to dawn and Colonel Allen real
lied that if the attempt against the
fort were to succeed he and his daring
expedition must act at once.
Nothing daunted by the fact that
their force was so few, and making up
in patriotic devotion what they lacked
in numbers, Colonel Allen called for
volunteers for the perilous venture.
81 do not urge any to enter on this
enterprise contrary to his will, mas
much as it is a desperate attempt,
which none but the bravest of men
dare undertake." cried Colonel AL
len. "You that will undertake volun-
tarily, poise your frelocli." Every
man poised his firel0ck.
He Immediately formed them into
line and at their head advanced on
the gate of the fortress. The sentry
snapped his fuse at the colonel and
then retreated to the parade within
the garrison. Allen and his men
quickly followed and formed in the
parade. The garrison was asleep-all
but the sentries who Gid not fully
sense what was transpiring. Allen
and his men gave three huzzas, and
one of the sentries made pass ut one
of the men with q charged bayonet
and slightly wounded him.
Allen was about to run him through
with his sword but thought better of
it and only slightly wounded him on
the head whereOn he dropped his gun
and begged for quarter. This grant
ed he showed Colonel Allen the Off
GERS quarters whittier the intrepid
commander rushed and compelled the
commander, Captain Delaplace, to
come forth and deliver over the en-
tire garrison on threat of putting the
entire force to the sword.
"By what authority?" demanded
Captain Delaplace.
"In the name of the Great Jehovah
and the Continental Congress" thun
dered Allen, as he raised his sword
over Delaplace'S head. In the mean
time the Green Mountain boys had not
been idle but had beaten down the
barracks doors and had about 4 third
of the garrison prisoners. With slut
! tered eXpostulation the commander
| forthwith submitted and the fort was
completely in the hands of Colonel AL
! len. who in his own account of the e1
! plot says:
"Thp sun seemed to rise that morn
ing with superior luSter, and Ticon

Better Farming in the South
FOOD AS WELL AS COTTON
THE NATION ASKS OF DIXIE
South May Be Face Face With Food
Not Grown by Farmers-Home Army
Is Position Of the Farmer
From the Farm Service Bureau.

In time Of war the interests of the
army come first. Regular commerce
must give way to troop trains, ammu.
q nitions and army freight in general.
At such times the wants of people can.
not be readily supplied. Forethinking
people will, therefore, prepare against
it.
The Southern farmer is facing this
situation. What ought he to do?
Railroads have been hauling mil.
lions Of dollars worth of food prod.
ucts to the South each year. Recently
there have been occasional "famines"
in some of these articles because Of
the inability of the railroads to haul
all they were offered. In fact, serious
situations have been narrowly averted.
What then might be the result OF a
car shortage more acute than has ever
been experienced?
How would Southern cities be fed!
Where would the Southern farmer who
raises only cotton, get food? Grave
possibilities are, therefore, confronted.
They are probabilities IL immediate
steps are not taken.
How can such a disaster be fore
stalled? Only by the Southern farm
er growing foodstuffs as well as cot
ton. He can do it. It Is his duty to
do it. 1t Is his patriotic service. In
doing this piece Of work he will be
one Of the most useful units in the
army Of defense.
At this time it Is as important for
the Southern farmer to enlist to pro-
duce food crops as it Is for the young
men of the South to enlist as soldiers
1t will be easy to get men for the army
1t should be easy to get men to raise
farm crops.\ Let Southern farmers

Emergency Crops

As a guide in meeting the crisis,
which Is now confronting the South,
the Farm Service Bureau suggests the
following, which Of course, must be-
modified to suit local conditions:
Those crops which can be used for
food for man or beast, and which can
be planted at once should be given i'm
mediate attention. The acreage Of
cotton per plow may be maintained,
and all possible efforts should be put
forth to increase the yield. Lint will
bring good price, and seed will prove
valuable because Of their oil. On
25-acre tract, in ten or eleven acres
Of cotton may be given each plow, and
it Is recommended that seven or eight
acres be given to corn In which
should be planted peas, soy beans or
velvet beans. The corn can be har-
vested, and the beans or peas given
over to pasture or gathered for feed
At least two acres should be given to
soy beans or cowpeas and sorghum for
hay. One acre for grazing; one acre
for sorghum syrup; one acre for sweet
potatoes, and one for different kinds
Of vegetables. This will give q total
Of rs acres, and represents only the
crops for summer planting. Winter
grains may be seeded Immediately af-
ter some of these are harvested.
Everything bearing upon large
yields should be given emphasis. The
land should be thoroughly prepared
the best known varieties used; the
right kind and liberal amounts OF fer
tiliser applied, and thorough cultiva-
tion given.
This is Of special importance over
much Of the South where the soils are
lacking in soluble plant foods. Not
less than 400 to 600 pounds Of fertil.
izer should be used per acre on the
crops suggested.
On account of the car shortage and
the farrners' inability to secure ample
fertilizer to put under their crops at.
the time the Land was being prepared.
II Is recommend that q liberal side,
bbeaspdd be Sa,HN
crops already planted. Increase OF crop
yields will come with increase In guam.

ONE way to cheat the milling trust
is in the use of corn meal and whole
wheat -four, ground in the home feed
grinder, or in the neighborhood or
community grist mill. Colorado flour is
sold to the home consumer at price
based on prices prevailing at the eastern
mills, plus an extra gouge equal to what
freight would be from them; and, con-
trarily, the Colorado grower is paid for
his wheat whatever it may be worth in
the central market, less such incidentals
as elevator profits, commissions, and
freight tariffs, regardless Of whether it
is to be used at home or shipped away.

TUESDAY, June S, is registration
day, when all male residents of the
United States, between the ages og 2l
and 80 years inclusive, must 60 before
the proper officers or deputies to register
as liable to the selective draft, and
claim exemption, if any. In this connect
ion it should be understood that there
is no dishonor in the draft, and no line
of distinction should be drawn between
those who volunteer and those who may
be summoned. The man who does well
a productive, useful work, is serving
his country perhaps as well and may be as
true patriot as the soldier at the front.
War is a nasty business at best; but
just as good soldiers will come from the
ranks of those who realize its gravity
and wait to be selected, as those who
answer the first call. worthy as they

NOT A SUGAR-COATED PILL

Congressman Edward Heating is
authority for the following statement
concerning sugar prices;
The government of Holland has fixed
a maximum price on sugar of 9.2l cents
per pound wholesale and 8. so cents retail.
These prices include consumption or
excise tax of 4.92 cents per pound, so
that the net amount received by the
sugar factory is 4.29 cents per pound.
In this country the average price re-
ceived by the sugar factories is said to
be 8. 40 cents per pound. and the govern
ment does not collect any excise tax.
In Holland the farmers get $l085 per
ton for their beets and in this country
the average is said to be $6.l7 per ton
If the sugar factories of Holland can
afford to sell their sugar for 4.29 cents
per pound while paying the farmers
S1O.8 for the beets, can't the American
factories afford to be little more gen
erous to the growers?
And also, The News would ask, cant
they afford to be little more merciful
to the consumer?
