Alfalfa growers in the state are
preparing to largely extend their a.
falfa acreage for the next year. The
seed returns have been sufficient this
year to stimulate the growers in their
work. and while a seed crop is not
certain every year, in most of the
seasons 1t Is good, and the returns
for such year are sufficient to make
the crop highly profitable.

POTATO CROPS I'm
STATE SUFFERING

The potato crops in various parts
of the state are suffering from blight.
according to information received last
night from L. H. Healey, secretary of
the state board of agriculture. While
admitting that the situation may be-
come serious, he does not feel that
the blight will have the effect Of less
ening the yield for the state to any
great extent.
The blight appears to be a fungus
growth, which comes up and chokes
the life out of the potato plants. In
some cases, too, there have been in
stances Of potatoes rotting in the
ground. The latter condition, Mr..
Healey said, is quite likely to occur
in season like this when there is sc
much wet weather, and extremely
hot days.
Mr.. Healey said last night that Sc
far as he had been able to- ascertain
the blight has been rather general
through the state. and that it had
hit one town about as hard as it had
hit another. There was nothing tc
indicate, however, he said, that the
blight would have a great effect on the
!! yield of the state as whole, as whai
would be lost by blight in one place
would be made up by an extra heavy
yield dn another.

ASSERTS DUTCH

UNLESS INVADED
Minister Declares That Is
Only Way Holland Can
Be Forced Into War.

Warrington. Aug. 25-Chevalier
Van Rappaxt the Dutch Minister.

relations between Germany and her
neutral neighbors are approaching a
Few crisis which may make the en-
Aance Of Holland and Denmark into
the war imminant:
III Germany wants Holland as an
ally, she can get us as such only by
inducing England to attack us. If
En&laBd wants us as an ally against
Germany, the only way to attain that
end is to induce Germany to invade
Holland. These conditions alone can
force Holland Into the war. And it
does not seem likely that either of
these belligerents win want to play
into the hands of the other.
" don't know what the purpose
of these reports can be. So far as
eomcerns Holland. there Is nothing In
tAem-

amount of economic pressure will
force Holland into this CHASTITY war.
We have no intention of increasing

METHODISTS TO

Philadelphia, Pa, Aug. 25-Two
hundred and fifty thousand for War
Camp ministry to Methodist soldiers
is being asked of the Methodist Epis-
copaI Church through its Board of
Home Missions and Church Extension
with headquarters in this city. The
survey of church conditions In the
neighborhood Of the environments and
other camps shows that while in most
cases the Methodist Episcopal
churches in the vicinity were able to
perform an adequate ministry to the
normal population, many of them are
entirely inadequate for meeting the
needs. of the $50, 900 Methodist soldiers
who will be distributed throughout
the different camps. This $250,000
will be- used to equip regular Metho-
dist Episcopal chaplains, to equip and
support volunteer chaplains for OFF,
GERS Training Camps and to render
more efficient Methodist churches To-
Gated near the camps and to augment
the equipment of those churches need
ing 1t, in order to render an adequate
ministry to the Methodist boys in the
camps in the name of Jesus Christ

Rifle factories may not be the
busiest places in the United States in
these war days. but it is a safe guess
that few other places are buster. Uncle
Sam will need hundreds of thousands
and perhaps millions Of guns for his
/ new armies. The pictures show three
scenes in one of the biggest rifle fac
tories in America. No. /, finishing
bayonet; No./2, rifles near completion
passing under Stars and Stripes and
portraits Of Washington, Lincoln and
Wilson; No. 8, inspecting cartridges.
