The Socialist ministers. who were
present. declared that the only posi-
bility they saw Of settling the ques-
tion was winding up the war first of
all.
Mr.. Kutler said that in eighteen
metal establishments in the Donets
district, with a capitalization of 1885,
100000 rubles and annual profits of
75.O00i000, the workmen had de-
manded an increase Of 240.O00.00O ru-
bles. The owners had agreed to 64,-
100000, but the workmen refused to
accept this.
In some Of the works. according 10
the statement of a representative of
the union, the owners decided to cede
all, the profits to the workmen, but
even this did not meet their exorbi-
tant demands.
The demands in the Southern Rus
sian factories amounts to 100000, 900
rubles. If these demands are met.
iron and steel would have to rise to
unheard Of prices. In the. Urals the
increase in wage demanded reaches
SO,0OO,O00 rubles, while the annual
business does not exceed O.OOO,O 900.

Cultivate TO Conserve MoIsturc.I

Clemson College. May 2s.--Owing
to the long dry spell and the COM
paratively small amount Of fertilizer
used on crops this year. care should
be taken to see that the crop gets, the
maximum amount OF the fertilizer and
~ much OF the moisture as possible.
Grass uses up n great amount of
moisture and the farmer can't afford
TO allow the grass to take up the plant
food which he put I'm the ground for
the crop. Frequent cultivation of
the land will keep down the grass and
weeds and will allow the corn and
cotton to get the greatest amount
OF the fertilizer. The crop needs all
the moisture II can get. and "
shallow cultivation Is practiced. the
mulch formed on the land will con
serve the moisture that is i'm the
soil. as we'll as Kill weeds and grass
which use considerable amount OF
water and plant food. which IL need
cd for the crop. Don't let the croI

fcient shallow cultivation.

Re a Farmer Patriot.

Clemson College. May 2S.-With

cruit mt once In the army Of meat
producers which will put South Car

as well as help fced the millions OF
people who are now dependent on
the United states for food supplies.
This In the time for the farmer to
exert himself more than ever to- grow
ricnty OF food stuffs on the farm.
The possibilities of n good wheat
ma oat crop are very poor, and this
makes II all the more necessary to
prepare to grow more feed stuffs
and to grow more meat than ever

From German prisoners and from,
letters taken from dead Germans. the
French and English have. secured the
explanation OF the dcsoiation and do
vastation the Germans have been
leaving In the occupied portion of
France. II appears that some time
back. at verdun and elsewhere, the
German soldiers were rather indiffer-
cnt about their capture. The state
ment Is that ut different times thous-
fnds or them threw down their arms
and literally ran to the enemy wire
enclosures. Under tho situation OF af-
fairs Won Hindenburg conceived the
idea of ordering all kinds of out
ragcs. on the French property and
French people. both male and female.
In his power. so as to stir his troops
TO a realization of what ought TO hap
pen TO them IL they should fall into
the hands of the French. 1t Is said
that the German soldiers were told
that 30 sure AS they should be cap
tnred by the French they would be
tortured to death and that II the
French and English should ever get
to the other side of the Rhine they
would not leave a vestige of their
homes or their improvements. The
whole idea was to goad the German
troops to desperation. 1t Is claimed by
the highest French and military au-
thorities that every German prisoner
who falls into their hands comes ex-
pecting to be put to instant death. and
they are tremendously relieved when
they find that the real II ing that Is
In store for them is only the kindest
Of treatment.
