and heat deficient so to handle the soil
as to prevent moisture from lessening
unduly such heat as may be available.
In the case of corn. which differs in
this respect from perfect Towering
plants, the setting of seed and the fill
ing of the ears are seriously interfered
with by summer droughts. Corn has
two kinds of fiowers-the tassel or pol
len bearer and the seed forming or silk
bearing flowers. The pollen from one
falling on the silk Of the other is neces-
sary to the development of grain.
Droughty conditions often hasten the
shedding Of pollen, but delay the ap-
pearance of silks, with the result that
the pollen is mostly wasted. If fertili-
cation is prevented in this way no
amount Of later rain can cause kernels
to form or make good grain yield.
The corn crop is sometimes injured by
hot winds that do less damage to such
crops as alfalfa and the grain sor-
ghums. The problem here is by the
choice Of planting time and the selec-
ton of early maturing or late maturing
varieties to bring about the double
Towering Of the corn at times when
drought is least liable to interfere with
fertilization. .H.-.

FERTILIZING WHEAT.
For Spring Application Acid Phosphate
Is Recommended.

Is Recommended.
For wheatfields not fortified last fall
nor MANFRED during the winter. the
Ohio experiment station recommends
for application in early spring, on near
ly all soils that have been under long
cultivation, from 200 to 800 pounds of
acid phosphate to the acre. Nitrate
of soda has paid for itself in some ex-
detrimental field tests, but the present
cost of potassium prohibits it's use this
year.
In the stations fertility tests 100
pounds of acid phosphate have produc-
ed increase in the yields of corn, oats,
wheat and hay worth more than 81 at
ordinary farm prices. Nitrate of soda
used alone has been Improbable, but
it's addition to acid phosphate has paid
well on Wooster soil although barely
sufficient to justify its use at Strongs-
vile, Germantown and Carpenter sub
stations. These materials may easily
be sown by hand in the spring before
growth starts and are soluble in the
soil for the use Of plants. Because
Of the limited response Of wheat to
potassium and because of its high
price this year the experiment sta
ton advises against the use of this ele-
ment for the present wheat crop and
urges farmers to preserve all barnyard
manure carefully to supply the neces-
sary potassium.

Where uplands near and overlooking

GERMANS START
HEAVY FIGHTING
ON A|NSE FRONT
Attack French Line With Fresh
Troops But Are Unable to
Make Any Gains

BY ASSOCIATED PRESS. June 21
Some heavy fighting is now in pro-
grcss on the Ainse front in Northern
France where the French are en-
trenched in favorable positions after
the notable advances of their spring
campaign.
The Germans apparently have
heavily reinforced their troops in this
sector by men brought from the Rus
sian front, and one such division was
sent into the fighting directly after
its arrival making an attack yester-
day between the Ailette river and the
Laffaux mill
The assault while along Il front OF
less than Il mile was # an extremely
violent character. The French stopped
the German rush suffering only Il
slight penetration OF their first line
at two points aggregating between six
and seven hundred yards. Paris re-
ports that even this slight gain was
partly negatiyed this morning when
the French counter attacked and re
gained part of the lost ground.

hington.-Observer are study
ing with increased interest the politi-
cal history of Alsace-Lorraine. The
course of this Reichland's history is
recognized as one of the most signifi-
cant in the story of the world Through
a multitude of other causes of the hol-
ocaust in Europe, the case of Alsace-
Lorraine presents itself with a grow
ing significance. 1t is here that Prus-
STA initiated her grand mistake and,
through the forcible cession of this
state, engineered the hatreds and
"Welt-Politik' for which she is pay
ing now with all that humankind hold
most dear and precious.
In 1872, when the German confeder-
alton was formed, this booty land was
considered as a prize of the confeder-
alton as whole, with the regulative
powers vested in the king of Prussia.
The state was permitted 70 send dele
gates to, the reichstag, but could not
be represented in the bundesrat, the
real power in governmental Germany.
With the usual asininity of German
the assimilation of the peo-
pie was hurried, and hurried by
most unwise and impossible meas
Tres. The iden seems to have been
The daily star-mirror. (Moscow, Idaho) 1911-1939, 1917-11-09

In the month q May in this same
year, the popular Indignation, already
| inf1amed, was famed to fever heat by
the remarks of the German emperor
| to the mayor of Strassbourg during an
imperial visit to the city. He is re-
ported to have said:
Listen. Up to here you have only
known the good side of me. Things
cannot continue as they are. If this
situation lasts, we will suppress your
constitution and annex you to Prus-
sia.''
Alsatian newspapers were held to
narrow course by most severe code
of laws, but suspensions were taking
place every day. To be profitable,
journal could do naught else but sup
port the Berlin policies. A school of
cartoonists came to the fore, and, by
a series of caustic and meaning car
ICONS, indicted Berlin till the officials
in their fury, began placing prison
sentences Unfortunately among car
toonists and journalists.
And so, France, who had represent
ed to the heroes of 1893 the beau-ideal
of democracy, came gradually to the
fore as the influence in Alsace-Lor-
raine. Her culture, her ideals and her
citizenship became valued dreams of
loyal Alsatians. But far off dreams
they seemed; and the Alsatians, in
their growing love for the republic,
could not harbor the thought that
France should suffer the throes of a
war with remorseless Prussia for their
sake. But the war was coming, and
to Alsatians it means as all observers
agree, a reunion with France,
But, queer enough, the world be-
gins to see that the treaty of Frank
fort was the germ of the present holo-
caust and that it leads to the utter
destruction of Prussian autocracy and
world autocracy-that Alsace-Lorraine
had been picked to bear the cross-tO

lieved from the burden on the should
ers of all humans, from Herod down

that an assimilation could take place
in one, or, at the most, two genera
tons, and that it could be effected
while the people paid Prussian taxes
and were not granted representation
in the laying of said taxes. AS a
necessary vent to human nature, the
result was the failure of Prussian DO
lice methods all during the first thirty
years of the occupation. What hap
pened after that in Metz, Colmer,
Strassbourg and Mulhouse we shall
see.
Prussian MisruIe
The year 1910 marks the new pc
riod of PrusSan misrule The use of
French was stringeatly forbidden on
tombstones, in courts of justice, in the
schools and in public gatherings. In
deed, severe punishment has been
neted out for the use of the French
language in certain private and semi
private gatherings.
German immigrants shipped into the
Reichsland bred children, only to have
them take sides with the indigenous
in their clamor for annexa-
ton to Germany on an equal basis
with the other German states. This
latter point, contrary to general belief,
was actually just what the Alsatians
agitated for. French culture and
ideals began to have their effect when
all opportunities and pleadings for a
relaxation Of Prussial oppressive
methods and a representation in the
government failed.
Prussian rule remained iEflexible.
and alterations were
promised and seemingly complied with,
only to have the people discover, when
the smoke of Prussian bland duplicity
cleared away, that they were bound
more helplesSly than ever.
In the spring of 1912 the Prussians
further showed their disapproval of
the agitation engendered by attempt
ng to ruin the Alsatian factories at
5rafenstaden, near Strassbourg, by
all orders for locomo-
ives for the Prrssian railways.
