now. What is demanded is compe-

hydroairplane off England sighted
a U-boat below the surface. It i'm
mediately summoned by wireless sub
marine chasers and great nets were
quietly dropped about the unsuspect-
ing German craft. Before the COM
mander was aware of the fact he was
q prisoner with his crew and his u
boat in the hands of the British.
The airplane also is useful in
launching torpedoes at submarines.
Some years ago Rear Admiral Fiske,
of the American navy, secured pat
ent for a torpedoplane. The plane
sights the submarine, speeds toward
it and at the proper point launches
torpedo, which sends the enemy
to Davy Jones Locker. American nav
al experts now are urging the govern
ment to build large fleet of air
planes for the defense of our coasts,
and one of the arguments advanced
is that they can be employed with eff
feet to combat enemy submarines.
The submarine situation as present
is serious enough, but there is every
reason to believe it will be solved
not through the invention of any
single spectacular invention perhaps,
but by means of all the various de-
vices which have been found to be
effective in fighting the U-boats.

Is SUBMARINE FAILING?

Encouraging reports are received
from London regarding the dimln-
ishing damage that is being inflicted
by German submarines on world ship
ping. The report for this week shows
a falling off in the loss of ships by
nearly so per cent and for the last
two or three weeks there has been
a gradual decline.
1t is obviously impossible to say
that the submarine menace has been
disposed of, for the reason that the
records of two or three weeks may
not be truly indicative; but dispatches
from Europe seem to prove conclusiv-
ely that the allies means of combat
ting the Uboats are being improved
and that large number of summers
ibles have been caught or destroyed
during the past few weeks. Such in
formation comes not only from Lon
don and other allied war capitals. but
also from Berlin.

LABOR AND THE I. W. W.

Organization is beginning to rea-
! lie that the organization known as
the Industrial Workers of the World
, is an incubus that is working to the
detriment of the working class. The
Seattle Central Labor Council, which
represents $4,000 workers, has gone
on record as repudiating the lawless
|. w. w. band because of it's unremit-
. ting antagonism to capital under all
circumstances.
The reasoning of the Seattle labor
leaders is sound. The direct action
lists have seriously interfered with
the orderly upbuilding of the state
of Washington. Their creed is one
that no working man or anybody else
town. his state and his country, could
accept. Yet the |. w. VS. in their
effort to establish regime OF syrdi-
calism, have attempted to ingratiate
themselves with the labor unions and
to undermine the good relations that
existed between them and the en-
ploying element In other words, they
have worked industriously to widen
the breach between capital and labor.
The unions are composed of wage
earners who for the most part desire
to better their condition through evo-
lutionary rather than revolutionary
methods. They find that the gulf be-
tween capital and labor is not so wide
as the opponents of sabotage would
have it appear. In fact, those who
have been under any deIIsions on the
subject probably are about ready to
concede that after all union labor is
more closely allied to capital than it
is to the Industrial Workers OF the
World.
Labor conditions undoubtedly will
undergo a great improvement in this
state if other cities follow Seattle's
lead in regulating this outlaw or
ganization. Certainly such action will
tend to correct situation which was
such less than a year ago that the
people almost elected to the govern

LIME REQUIRED BY ALFALFA
Absolutely Essential for Success
full Stand.

Alfalfa is one of the great lime
lovers. Reports made to the Iowa ex-
pertinent station indicate that in an
average of over a thousand fields,
those which received no lime yielded
3.4 tons to the acre, while those that
received lime before seeding yielded
at the rate of four tons to the acre,
and those which received lime after
seeding, at the rate Of 3.8 tons to the
acre. Lime generally pays for itself,
even on soils which are fairly rich in
lime, and on soils which are at all acid
it is absolutely essential to successful
alfalfa growing to spread lime at the
rate of one to two tons to the acre.
The easy way to spread it is with a
lime spreader. With the increasing
use of lime, there should soon be a
lime spreader in every community in
the corn belt.

PREVENT SC0URS IN CALVES
Cause Of Great Loss to Dairymen 10
Due Almost Entirely to Over
feeding or Dirty Pals.

The most fatal disease in calves is
the scours. This simple trouble is the
cause Of our great loss among the
calves during the first four or five
months. 1t is owing almost invariably
to one of two things: either overfeed-
ing, or feeding from dirty pals. The
first thing to do when this appears is
to cut down the feed and cleanse the
pals thoroughly.
Scours are sometimes caused by
feeding sour milk and then sweet milk.
A good calf can be raised on sour milk
if he is fed sour milk all of the time
after he is month old and the milk
is in the same degree of sourness when
fed, but no one can raise a good calf
on sour milk one feed and sweet milk
the next.
And no person can raise bunch Of
good calves who feeds from dirty pals

petitioners, and returned to him. If it
appears that responsible and represen-
tative men and women are back Of the
movement, he will grant authority to
organize a chapter.
The next step is a meeting of the
group, already organized into a COM
mittee on organization, together with
few other of the strongest men and
women of the community, but not a
public mass meeting. At this meeting
board of trustees Of from IL to SO
is usually elected, one-third to hold
Office one year, one-third two years,
and one-third three years. This board
then elects a central committee of ten
members, the central committee
chooses the chapter chairman, and the
chairman with the aid of the central
committee names the principal COM
mittees.
1t has been found best to elect an ex-
perienced business man and capable
executive as chairman. In only few
instances have women been chosen.
The secretary must be familiar with
the work of keeping records, and car
rying on businesslfke correspondence
with men whose every minute is valu-
able. The treasurer is usually the
president of strong bank. Chairman,
secretary and treasurer are usually ex
officio members of the executive COM
mittee.
When the chapter has been fully Or
ganized, a certificate of organization
and election, made out on blanks which
will have been furnished, will be sent
to the division director. If he finds it
regular, he will forward it to the Di-
rector of Chapters, at Washington. 1t
will be taken by him before the central
committee, and a formal recognition
of the new chapter will be granted.
From that moment the chapter is the
official representative of the American
Red Cross in the territory over which
it has jurisdiction.
The name of the chapter is usually
that of the town in which it is formed.
The name must be geographical, and
the territory over which the chapter
wishes jurisdiction must be clearly set
forth in the petition and will be as
clearly defined in the authority to or
ganize, and in the formal recognition
by the central committee.

BURSTING HEAD or CABBAGE
Trouble Caused by Rapid Growth and
May Be Prevented by Breaking
off Some of Roots.

Many persons growing their own
vegetables have experienced consider
able annoyance in having a large num-
Der of fine heads of cabbage to burst,
before the vegetable can be used or
marketed.
The bursting Is caused by rapid
growth, and usually occurs after
warm rain which has followed a dry
spell. 1t is surprising how rapidly the
heads will split and push out from
the center, which is damaging unless
the cabbage is used at once.
To prevent cabbage from bursting,
go to each head, and pull 1t just
enough to break large number of the
small rootlets, but not enough to al
low the head to fall or lean very much
to one side. This will lessen the
amount of moisture and food taken
into the plant and the development Of
the head, and consequently the burst
ing will cease. In most cases the cab
bage will remain perfect and unin-
jured, and can be sold or used before
any damage results.
Heads of cabbage about to burst, or
even those showing the first split, can
be kept for several weeks, without
damage by simply following the above
instructions carefully.

METHODS OF DOCKING LAMBS
Burning With an Iron Is Favored by
Kansas Expert-Wound Is Scared
and Doesn't Bleed.

When docking lambs the four feet of
the animal should be held together
tightly against the body of the opera
tor, points out A. NJ. Paterson, instruc-
tor in animal husbandry in the Kan
sas State Agricultural college.
There are two methods of docking.
One is by cutting off with a sharp knife
and the other is by burning with a
docking iron. The latter is preferred,
especially if the lamb has large tail.
The hot iron sears over the wound and
prevents bleeding. If the lambs are
old it is well to tie string around the
stump to prevent bleeding.

How to Form a Red Cross Chapter

Just as the family is the group on
which all modern civilization is based,
and of which counties, states and ma
tons are formed, so the chapter is the
unit on which is based the great work
of the American Red Cross. The aim
of this article is to tell, as clearly and
briefly as may be, the best way to form
a chapter.
A small group of persons-three or
four or half dozen, or even ten
should hold an informal meeting and
reach mutual understanding of what
Is to be done. They must understand
that the Red Cross chapter is not a
sewing society, nor physicians club,
nor nurses organization, nor pO-
litical or religious group of any kind.
1t is a union of the brightest and
strongest men and women of any COM
munity, formed to prepare for the al
deviation of human misery.
This being true, those who form the
chapter must be men and women who
command the respect of the commu-
nifty. 1t has been found well to have
in this group a representative of the
local chamber of commerce or what
ever business organization the commu-
nifty affords Physicians, lawyers,
'clergymen, educators, bankers, bust
ness men-whoever are leaders in the
daily life of the community-make
good material for Red Cross work
Politics and creed are never consid-
cred at all.
1t is preferred that each county have
a chapter, usually located at the coun-
ty seat, but there is no hard and fast
rule. In any case, those who wish to
form a chapter should agree on a
course, form themselves into an or
ganization committee, choose q chair
man and secretary, and write to the
Division Director of the Red Cross for
permission to organize chapter. In
the letter asking this permission, a
brief account should be given of each
of those in the movement, for the di-
rector invariably makes inquiry, be-
fore granting permission, to make sure
that the chapter will be in capable and
trustworthy hands.
The division director will send a
blank form petition, which is to be
filled out with the names, addresses
and other items concerning each Of the

One Of the best things you can do
is to provide small pasture for your

barn so the horses can be easily

come from the field. A bite of green

In the open will do them a world of
good. On hot nights leave them out
all night The work the following day
can be much more easily done if such

TELL ALFALFA FROM CLOVER
Formation of Leaf Enables One to Dis
tinguish Plants While Young
Longer When Old.

(From the United States Department of
Agriculture)
The leaf Of alfalfa is divided into
three leaflets, the middle one of which
has short stem, differing in this re-
spect from red and alsike clovers, in
which the center leaf1et is attached d.
rectly at the base.
This difference in the two plants
readily enables one to distinguish al
falfa from red clover when the plants
are very young.
AS the plants become older the leaf
lets of the alfalfa become more elon-
gated than in the clovers.

It is best to bore two or three holes

Most Common Mistake to Allow Plants

Possibly the most common mistake
made in the growing of strawberries
is that of allowing the plants to be-
come too thick.
Most varieties of strawberries when
properly cared for produce so many
runners that the row becomes solid
mass of plants.
When this is the condition the grow
er is producing plants at the expense
of fruit.
