Leach, vice president Of the faculty,
to make the opening remarks, and
while he said the opening of the

tinge of sadness, inasmuch as sever
al valued members Of the faculty
had severed their relations with
Hartford College and had entered
other fields of labor in school work,
we We're to be congratulated upon Sc

STRICT RAT|ONS

Months.

We Will Supply Ourselves and
Our Allies First-DutCh
Ships Held Up.

Washington, Sept. 1.-lndications
that the United States intends to ra-
ton the northern European neutral
countries in the strictest fashion
were seen today in the admission
that the exports administrative board
has disapproved of an arrangement
suggested bv the Dutch minister
here and the Belgian relief commits
sion Cor division between Holland
and Belgium of the nearly one hum
dred Dutch grain cargoes held IN
American ports.
The first news that permission for
the ships to sail had been denied
came today in a dispatch from Rot
terdam. The general understanding
had been that the arrangement would
be approved and that some OF the
vessels would sail Immediately.
The exports board. it was learned,
will let no food cargoes go to Euro
pean neutrals for at least two
months. or until the American. gov
ment has ascertained its own food
requirements for the year and the
size oe crops that are to be harvest
ed. All of the neutrals, it is held, can
feed themselves without difficulty I'M
til this information is available. The
United States wishes to know also
the size Of crops to be harvested in
the neutral countries this fall.
It was made clear that the United
States has no intention of letting
neutrals go hungry, but emphasis
was placed on the fact that the gov
eminent feels its first obligation is
to the American people and to the
allies.

CAREFUL PREPARATION
Of the Soil Will Help the Wheat and
Rye Yield.

Washington, d. c.. Sept. 3.-Spe-
cial care to place the soil in good
condition in preparation for planting
wheat and rye will go long way,
says the United States Department
of Agriculture, toward assuring the
production Of the bumper crops OF
those grains which the DEPARTMENT
hopes to see harvested next year.
If winter grains are to be grown
on land devoted to similar grains
during the preceding season, the land
should be plowed as soon as the old
crops are removed and occasionally
surface cultivated to kill weeds I'M
til planting time. The blowing
should be to depth of about seven
inches. Just before planting time
the land should be narrowed if fair
ly moist and free from weeds; other
wise it should be dislsed and har-
rowed.
Wheat and rye may follow practic-
ally any crop which may be got out
of the way in time. Where a choice
is possible, however, it is better to
have these grains follow a cultivated
crop, preferably leguminous crop
such as soy or other beans, or cow
peas. To have them follow corn is
common practice in parts of the corn
belt. In the South they may follow
cotton and in the southern Great
Plains region, the sorghums. In
some sections farmers find it a good
plan to follow potatoes with wheat
or rye.
