The food and coal situation in Nor

necessary to reduce the production Of
the industrial plants. Without suffi-
cient funds to meet the increased

of whom is rapidly increasing. will
soon be subjected to a real famine.
Only an increased export from the
United States can save Norway from
distress. In Christiania the commu-
nal authorities have pointed out to the
government the necessity of -aking
proper measures for feeding perhaps
hundred thousand people without

schools and theaters have been closed
in order TO save coal. Cooperating
with the government combination of
Norwegian ship owners has formed a
company aith "a capital of several mil

and food At the same time negOtia-
lions have been opened to get Norwe-
gian ships. which are using American
coal, exempted from 'war trips in al
lied service. These ships would then
be used for the transport Of fooG sup
plies from the United States TO Nor
way. An embargo on these products
must therefore mean disaster 10 Nor

not overlooking the possibilities of in

Give Crop early start.

Rutabagas can be sown any time up
to the first of July. and in northern
Wisconsin they will continue to grow
until stopped by cold weather. l be-
lieve the largest yield is obtained by
sowing them early. say the Goth of
May, or whereabouts, as that gives
them long time to grow.
The crop may be cultivated and
thinned out any time after the plants
are an inch or two above the ground.
After this they should be cultivated
End hand-hoed often enough to break
up dust mulch and to keep down the
weeds. This cultivation will have to
be kept up only until the leaves are
large enough to completely shade the
ground, when the crop will usually
take care of itself In this way in an
ordinary season, rutabagas can be
made to yield 1000 bushels per acre
in the clay loan sections of northern
Wisconsin.
The past season it cost us about five
cents per bushel TO grow and store
them away in root cellars.
Some people object to raising roots
because it requires too much work to
grow them. From the standpoint of
area. il does unQuestiOnably take more
work to grow roots than other stock
feeds: not so, however. when taken
from the standpoint of value. We can
grow an acre of grain much cheaper
and with less labor than is required to
grow an acre of roots. but IL costs
mores to raise a given value of grain
products than it does the same value

Root Crops Will
Supply Food for
Man or Beast
BY EDWARD WORKMAN,
Chairman Agricultural Commit
tee Of State Council Of Defense.

The American farmer is only Just
beginning TO appreciate the value Of
succulence In his COW feeds. 1t is just
beginning TO dawn on him that this i'm
measurably increases the digestiblliry.
and therefore, the feeding value Of ev-
erythlng his cows eat.
In Europe the farming population
has known and acted upon this prin-
ciple for many years. and over there a
farmer who does not have access to
the by-products of distllleries and
sugar factories raises large quantities
OF roots each year. These he feeds to
his animals and thereby adds from 30
to so per cent to the feeding value Of
all the other feeds which his cows
consume. q
In America the progressive stock
farmer produces silage TO supply the
bulk of his suceulent feed, but there
are instances and conditions In this
country where root crop can be
made very profitable.
Crop Helps in Tight Places.
Take our own case for example.
We have two sllOs, one equal to IA
feet in diameter, the other one 10 feet
In diameter. In the fall after these
silos have been itled, the cows are
still getting considerable grass, but
not full feed. out in the pastures. To
supply this deficiency in an economical
way, they should be fed some kind of
succulent feed in addition to the pas
ture. We have found that it does not
usually pay to feed out of the silo at
this time of the year, because the
cows win not eat the silage as fast
as it needs to be taken out of the silO
to prevent spelling, hence we raise
roots, which can be fed In just the
quantities that are required, be itmuch
or little.
We believe also that sheep viii do
better on roots than they will on silage
and so we save out enough of them
to last our sheep through the winter.
Another instance where it pays to
raise roots is in the case Of new set
tiers in northern Wisconsin. Ordnar-
lily one-fourth to one-half of an acre
Of roots can be made to supply sue
culent Feeds that will be required for
three or four cows and be the means
of doubling their flow of milk through
the winter months. However, after a
settler has ten acres or more cleared,
he should still continue to grow some
roots, but he should depend upon sill
age to furnish the greater part Of his
succulent feed.

The Swedish government will ask
the riksdag to adopt the proposed law
establishing compulsory civilian serv-
ice for males and females between
the ages of fifteen and sixty. A
memorial accompanying the proposed
laws points out the necessity of the
government having power, If needed,
to organize and compel certain kinds
of work being done, especially in all
things concerning necessaries of life.
A particularly pressing need Of the
near future is the securing of wood for
fuel. The government also desires to
be in position to compel. If neces-
sary, the utmost utilization of agricul-
tural land.

Rutabasas Are Best.

In an experimental way we have
own many varieties of roots. includ-
ing rutabagas, turnips, stock carrots,
and many kinds OF mangel-wurzels,
and have come to the conclusion that
for our purpose the rutabagas are the
most profitable to grow. First, be-
cause we can get better stand; sec
ond, because 1t is less work TO care
for them, and third, because the guam
tity and quality of feed secured from
given acre of land is as great or
greater than with any other variety OF
roots.
Rutabagas win grow on any soil that
will grow corn or potatoes. As with
other crops, so with roots, the better
the land as to fertility and filth the
greater the crop we have a right to
expect.
To grow a big crop of roots. put
your land in the same condition that
you would to grow a big crop of corn
or potatoes. We have grown our ruta-f
bagas at distances varying from two to
three feet apart in the row, and have
come to the conclusion that where the
land is in the best condition as much
feed can be grown ar three feet as
closer together and with less work.
We thin out to about ten inches in
the row. If the soil is not in the best
condition. they may be planted closer
together, but on richer soil they must
have more room to grow and develop.
