THIEVES IN CONVENTION
DEMAND REFORM AID
They Seek a Chance to Turn Over a
New Leaf In Russia.

Petrograd. A mass meeting of
thieves was recently held at Rostoff-
on-the- Don to demand share in the
new freedom and chance to turn over
a new leaf. The chief of the local mi
litia and the president and several
, members of the Council Of Workmens
\ and Soldiers Deputies were present on
invitation.
Practically all brenches of the pro-
fession of thievery were represented,
and several Of the most accomplished
members made speeches in which they
outlined the difficulties conffoQting
them and declared that it was impossi-
bic to return to- honest pursuits with.
out the help and support of the CON-
munity. The speakers complained that
recently the population had risen
against them and in some Instances
went so far as to lynch some of their
brothers.
Chief OF Militia Ralmikon asked for
help and support by the people in aid
ing the efforts Of the thieves at refor.
nation. One Of the bystanders CON-
planned that he had been relieved Of
his purse containing 4 rubles. The
thieves roundly protested that it was
not the work Of Il professional and took
up collection to reimburse the victim.

Ing to this estimate, 60 per cent Of the

cred valuable for grazing or for fruits,

the last census, in 1910, the land area
In crops was 311,000,000 acres, about

INDIVIDUALS NEEDS IN FOOD
As to the Suitability of the Diet Every
Man, Woman and Child Is
Law to Himself.

One condition of good digestion is
that the food presented to the stomach
be suitable to the individual, that It
be sound, well cooked and not excess
sive In quantity. AS to the suitability
Of the sort of food, every man, woman
and child is a law to himself, and
much of the indigestion deplored is
caused by kindly tyrants, who insist
on their family and guests eating what
suits the tyrant and not the victims.
One robust and genial head of the
household of active habits and out
door occupations thrlves on large al
lowance in which meat is a chief con-
shtuent. This diet he most generously
wishes to impose on all his family,

CENSUS REPORT ON CHERRIES
Those Of Bearing Age Distributed in
Every State In the Union--com-
nercial interests Small.

(By H, P. GOULD, Pathologist United
States Department of Agriculture.)
Probably no tree fruit is grown
more widely throughout the country
than the sour cherry, or pie" cherry,
as 1t is often called. The distribution
Of sweet cherries is more restricted.
The thirteenth census reports for the
entire country a total Of 1882, O44
cherry trees Of bearing age, and about
one-half as many not of bearing age.
Those of bearing age are distributed
In every state in the Union and range
in number in the different states from
12O In Florida to more than 100000
in each of the states of Pennsylvania
and Ohio.
However, In most of the states in
which many cherries are grown the
commercial interests are relatively
small compared with several others in
which the number of trees is consid-
erably less. In the latter the industry

FIX HYPoDERMIc FOR TREES
Trouble Experienced In Removing
Plants From One Place to Another
Overcome by New Device.

A very Interesting method of water
ing newly transplanted trees has re-
Gently been brought to the attention
Of orchardists. All who have had ex-
perience in removing trees from one
place to another, know that large
number die before the roots become
Settled in the new location. This sim
pie device 0vercomes the difficulty.
Take an ordinary bucket, cut a hole
in the bottom and solder In it short
piece Of three-fourth-inch gas pipe. A
few feet of garden hose is then at
tached to the pipe and extended down
to the roots. Now choose a root about
the same size. as the pipe and cut it
OFF so as to fit tightly into, and form
tight plug for, the free end of the
hose. The bucket may then be filed
with water and hung from one of the
lower limbs of the tree. The root will
take sufficient moisture from the sup
ply in the bucket to maintain life until
the other roots are ready for work.

Is. largely centralized In certain loca
tions or regions where the commercial
interests are extensive, while in the
former the trees are distributed quite
generally throughout the states, prin-
cirally as small orchards, the fruit Of
which is rarely shipped, though in
many cases it may be sold in local
markets.
Climate is the most potent limiting
influence In the distribution of fruits
so far as the natural surroundings are
concerned. OF the various elements of
climate, temperature probably more
often governs in this respect than any
other single factor. This becomes evil
dent in the distribution of cherries.

GREAT NEED or FOOD
NO DANGER or ovERPRopuc.
TON THIS YEAR-pEAN
MUMFoRD.
Any Surplus Which American Farmers
Can Produce VIII Be Quickly Alb.
sorbed by Hungry People Of
England and France.

! While the farmer is being urged to
greater and greater production, he
naturally considers the possibility of
overproduction. Many farmers in
the state have advanced this question.
According to Dean f. B. Mumfcrd in
the Missouri College of Agriculture,
oyerproduction is exceedingly improb-
able this year. 1t has been agreed that
this country's part In the war will be
largely to supply food. "Our food
resources have been depleted by ship
ments to Europe and by several poor
crop years." said Dean Mumford re-
Gently, "and now with unrestricted ex-
port to the allies, the small reserve
which we have will be further de-
creased. Any surplus which the
American farmers can produce will be
quickly absorbed at wartime prices.
Millions Of people in England, France
and other countries at war with the
German powers are In need of food.
They must have food not only for
their civilian population but for their
armies. They are too busy fighting to
provide that food themselves. 1t then
behooves the United States to supply
food.
But 1t is not alone for the allies
that we must produce maximum crops.
If we should have a poor crop year
throughout the country, our own peo-
pie may actually suffer.
IF Germany Is able to continue the
ruthless submarine warfare unhln-
dered, some food will be lost on its
way to Europe. Consequently the
losses will tend toward further short
age and to absorb any surplus even IL
there were danger of overproduction."
What would happen If peace should
come within the next few weeks?
Would not the markets be glutted?
In answer to these questions, Dean
Mumford said: at is doubtful IL |
there will be great decrease In the
demand for food Immediately following
the war. With commerce restored,
every nation which is now at war
will become market place for Amer
lean farm produce. Those countries
have no food reserve left and they
will turn to the United States to fur
1ish food during reconstruction, and
until they can feed themselves"
AS an example of the actual scarcity
If food in America, Dean Mumford
:ites the condition of wheat: "In 1915
he United States produced 10 bush
lis of wheat per capita; in 1916 we
produced 9 bushels per capita, but
lsed 1-3 bushels for seed and ordi-
lary consumption and exported "a
'ushels per capita. The present condi-
ion of wheat in the United States is
3 per cent of normal crop. This
s % per cent below the average for
he last ten years. The condition in
flssouri is even worse-59 as CON-
AIRED with the 15-year average of IS
er cent. The latest reports are that
he world crop of wheat is far below
verage." Other foods are CORE
pondingly scarce.

GOOD GARDEN SEED FAVORED
Essential In Successful Gardening
Best Way Is to Patronize Some
Reliable House.

Good garden seed is an essential in
successful gardening. If we are going
to plant something, we want 1t to
grow. The worst thing possible is to
plant seed that won't germinate, and
1t is almost as bad TO find that the
seed which has been planted is untrue
to name.
In order to avoid all annoyance 1t is
best to secure good seed. When buying
garden seed demand that 1t be fresh
likewise insist that It be true TO name.
The easiest way of avoiding poor seed
Is to purchase the product of some re-
liable house.

USED IN DETECTING DoDDER
Hand Lens Is Useful instrument to
Ascertain Presence of Weed
Seeds In Alfalfa.

The hand lens will be found very
useful In detecting dodder and other
weed seeds in alfalfa seed. The gen
eral quality of unadulterated seed can
be estimated on the basis of color.
Fresh seed is light olive green and
gives a bright glossy surface when
rubbed with the hand. Alfalfa seed
which is of any shade of brown is ques-
tionable. One should not purchase seed
when the sample contains any consid-
cradle percentage that is discolored.
