FAILURE OF THE SUBMARINE

Eight full months have passed since the German gov
eminent entered ON its policy of unrestricted submarine
warfare 1t announced the U5oat as its most powerful
weapon; indeed its only remaining effective weapon It's
braggars asserted that England would be brought TO her
knees within two MONTHS the most conservative among
the miitaIiss fixed the time six months at the very
farthest.
What now is the German view of the effectiveness OF
the submarine? Let German legislator make reply
George Goethn progressive member of the rechstag, is
quoted in a Berlin dispatch as having said at meeting
of the central committee of his party:
"As for the submarine campaign 100000 tons OF
shipping has been sunk but no disposition toward peace
on the part of England dscemble. rauoning sys
tenn for foodstus had not been introduced and no
one was able to say when the Uboat would make England
more inclined for peace
What does America say concerning the efficiency OF
the submarine? In official circles nothing is said directly
but there can be no installing the following announce
men from Washington:
THE Secretary of the Treasury today announced
that the bureau of war risk insurance has reduced Its rates
ON all American steamers and cargoeS aversng the war
zone from 6l per cent to per cent This reduction is
made because of the corresponding decrease IN the risks
While the destructiveness of the UbOat has been al
most inconcevaby large it has not been complete Dur
ing the time that millions of tons of shipping went to the
bottom of the ocean, nearly as many millions of new ship
ping was launched America has engaged in shipbuiIdng
ON an enormous scale within the last four months.
statement from the committee of public information at
Washington given out carries the information that there
is now building and in contemplation 100000 tons Of
shipping.
1t is not to be expected that Germany will abandon
submarine warfare nor that its activities in that drec
ton will be lessened but it is certain that Uboas will not
be able to sink ships faster than America and other allied
countries and neutrals can build them STILL the need to
push our shipbudng industry to the highest possible
limit is perfectly clear

The pink boil worm, the presence OF

1t has already spread to practically

ROTATION AND MANURE BEST
ness Of Land II Should Both Be
MANFRED and Rotated.

(By NJ. F. MILLER. Missouri College OF
Agriculture)
In one of the experiments at the Mis-
souri, agricultural experiment station
corn has been grown for % years on
the same plot of ground with an appli-
cation of manure averaging about sew
en- tons annually. In comparison with
this, corn has been grown in various
rotations without manure. A sum-
mary of the yields for the last six
years on these plots shows that the
average yield of corn on the rotated
plots is greater than the average yield
of corn which has been grown continu-
OuSly with manure. In other words rO-
tation has been somewhat better than
heavy manuring in this experiment
The last six years of the quarter CEN
fury have been chosen for comparison
since one of the rotations is a six-year
rotation and since this number of years
is sufficient to largely overcome sea-
sonal variations.
II should not be understood from
these results that rotation is sufficient
to maintain the yield Of corn. AS a
matter of fact there are other plots in
this same experiment which have been
both rotated and MANFRED. The aver
age yields Of these plots is very ma
terially above rotation alone. The i'm
portant points are, that rotation is
more important than fairly heavy ma
nuring in the long run, but that 1t Is
not all-sufficient; that in order to main
ly, it should be both rotated and ma
nured. while in many cases commercial
fertilizing materials applied in addi-
ton to the manure will give still furth.
