 The desire for peace has been gath ering strength in Austria for a long time- There are strong reasons for believing that Austria would not have severed relations with this country, following the declaration of a state of war between the United States and Germany, if it was not completely under the control of the German gov ernment. Austria has paid a frightfnl price and it understands what fur ther sacrifices must be made under a gloomy outlook by the continuance of the war.

 Fifty years ago farm labor here in efficient. s For many years past it has supply and deterioratinS in quality. In those days families were large and most farmers had a number of robust Nowadays families are small and the one idea of the sons is to get away to the city. One great factor in the that when the great grain fields of the West were developed it was actu- ally cheaper for the New England farmer to buy grain from the West than it was to raise 1t himself.
 The nation is just beginning to real ize what it means to have the farms deserted and finds itself upon the verge of a food crisis.
 According to Cloud Digger all that is necessary to rehabilitate a-gricul- ture is for the farmers to carefully ob- serve the changes of the moon in planting, harvesting, killing their hogs, and poultry. setting their hens. etc.
 It really seems a pity that Presi- dent Wilson's attention cannot be di- rected to such an authority in these days of the nations crisis.
 Cloud Digger might well head the food commission instead of Herbert C. Hoover.
 Respectfully,

BETTER CONNECTICUT CROPS.

In keeping with the efforts which are being made or which will be un- dertaken throughout the country for the purpose of bringing about an in- crease in the grain and other agri- cultural products. in order to insure against any shortage because of the Increase in the demands which will be placed upon this country as the re- suit of the war the general assembly has acted with promptness in giving authority to Governor Holcomb- to name and direct a food supply com mittee of this commonwealth that Con- rue cticflt may do it's part in increas- ing the amount of its farm products.
 For a long time it has been realized that the advantages which are af- forded to the tillers of the soil in this state have not been improved as they should have been. There are hundreds of acres of land which could produce excellent crops that are allowed to re- main almost idla. There are also many acres of waste land which could be redeemed and made to show a pro- fit, while in almost every farming section, to say nothing of the non- utilized lots surrounding cities, it is possible by giving the proper atten- ton to it to greatly increase the crops that are raised in Connecticut
 There is no good reason why this state should not come much nearer meeting the demands of it's people. It doesn't at the present time begin to produce what it consumes, and with such condition existing it can be realized that the committee just ap- pointed has plenty of work ahead of 1t in overcoming this deficiency. But the fact that 1t exists is all the more reason for bringing about an improve a chance to make an excellent showing. All should not however be left to the commission. Every one has a chance to do his bit unsolicited

PROTECTING ALIENS.

When this country gave notice that enemy aliens in the United States need have no fear of molestation if they obeyed the law and kept their mouth shut, it meant 1t and it will respect it But at the same time it expected that those referred to thereby would do their utmost to insure the immunity that was promised.
 There can be no question but what the great majority of the German Americans in this country will stand loyally by this government in accord ance with assertions which have been made and repeated from the early days of the war. It may be impossi- bie for them to forget native land when considering it in connection with some other European nation, but when it comes to choosing between their native land and that of their adoption. there can be no question as to where. the greater proportion of them will stand.
 Evidence is presented almost daily to the effect that there are those who are mot so inclined. Most of these are aliens, but some of them have taken out their first papers and oth- CTS have beer naturalized. Those people not only have gotNto be watch ed but they should expect it. They can antfcipate no protection and it is the duty of every citizen, whether a native or an, adopted son, to lend whatever assistance he can to the au- thorities in running down such 'indi- rsduals before they have an oppor- tunity to put some dastardly plot into operafion Bomb makets. dynamiters, spies and p1otters can look fer no len iency for they are entitled to nothing but the limit. of punishment which the law provides.

WORK FOR OUR NAVY.

The conference at Washington be. tween the naval officials of this coun- try, Great Britain and France means the formulation of plans for the par ticipation of the navy of this country in the war. There will be need o1
 guarding our coast line as well as our harbors against the visit of subma-
 rines and raiders. but in addition to
 that this country will be expected to
 do police duty on the high seas. Ii
 will in all probability relieve the al-
 lies of the patrol service which they
 have been ducting ever since the war opened and bases on soil of the
 entente countries will be open to use by American warships even as it will be possible henceforth for the war ships of foreign countries in the en- tente group to use American harbors and bases. should such become nec- essary. ~
 It is in this direction that it has long been recognized that this country could be of much assistance to the op- ponents of the central powers. There has been need of an understanding be- tween this country and those which must now be looked upon as its allies and this is apparently being reached in the conference which is taking place at Washington. and this step has been taken none too soon in view of the story which is brought from Cuba concerning the sinking of a British schooner off that island by bombs placed aboard it by German sub marine. This serves to confirm the belief that there are submarines on this side of the water and that they are operating from base or bases on the Mexican coast. all of which means that this country will have something more than guard duty to perform with its navy.

THE RIGHT MAN AT THE HEAD.

This country. like all others which have entered into the war. was bound sooner or later to be confronted with
 the problem of food supplies. and it has wisely decided to provide at the start for meeting it instead of wait
 ing until it was forced into such ac- tion and thus, sacrifice the many ad- vantages which are afforded now for organization, for conservation and the prevention of waste.
 And when it came to selecting a chairman for the board which is to handle the food situation no better choice could have been made than that which placed Herbert c. Hoover in that position. Mir. Hoover has had two to three years training in the very sort of work which he will be called upon to do. As the head of the American commission for relief in Belgium he tackled an entirely new line of work but he has rendered a service to humanity which cannot be measured in dollars and cents. Not only has he been thoroughly devoted to the duties which fell upon his shoulders but he, has gained a most valuable knowledge of the best meth ods of meeting the problems in con- nection with securing a food supply. His experience will therefore be of in cGlculable benefit to, this country at this time.
 Though the ending of his services in behalf of the Belgians means a loss to the people of that distressed coun- try. it is most fortunate that his ser vices are available for this govern meflt at the present time for the abil- ity which he has disclosed and the training which he has received fur nish the assurance that the solution of this problem has been placed un- der the guidance of master hand.

In the days of our youth thrift was recognized as one of the strong fun damentals of the New England char acter. It was appreciation of the fact that individual independence could be secured for the great majority only by the exercise of self-denial and habits of saving. Waste was ab- horred as an evidence of inexcusable extraVag gance. There is no denying that these traits built up sturdy citizenship with many virtues that of fate we have admired rather than practiced in matters concerning econ omics.
 It is the duty of every American citizen to conserve food and fuel and all other supplies; to throw away nothing useful or usable; to con serve every resource and to produce as much as possible We, as well as other lands, must exert ourselves to the utmost, for we are in the midst of a most trying era. one that calls for all the energy, caution and con that can be mObilized.

OTHER VIEW POINTS

We have no quarrel with the slogan that it is the patriotic duty of people to plant garden. But, accepting the fact, we must insist that it is also the patriotic duty of the sellers of the nee essary fertiyizer, seeds and impIe ments to put a reasonable price on their products. The present price of commercial fertilizer considering quality. is an outrage as well as an inf1iction. Neither the quality, the price nor the maker Is patriotic.
 Patriotic duty must not be made a fad fo rthe promotion of individual fortunes. If gardening is a duty that duty is in force down the entire line and is not confined to the person u1lO does the work and pays the bulsl- Bristol Press.

Why New England Agriculture Has
 Declined

Declined
 MT. Editor: Friend Cloud Digger ascribes the decline of New England agriculture to one cause only-the fact that for the past fifty years the farm CTS have neglected to observe the phases of the moon in conducting their farming operations. It is really as tonishing that anyone outside of the confines of Middletown or Brewster's Neck should promulgate such an idea Cloud Digger appears to have been in a sort of Rip Van Wrinkle trance for the past thirty years. The fact that great economic changes have taken place during the last half cen tury seems to be beyond his compre- henSion.
 Now I am not going to argue with him as to the lunar influence upon crops, poultry, swine. cattle, etc, as I realize that it would be about as ef- fective as attempting to sink a sub marine with an air rife. But I will name a few economic factors which have wrought great changes in the rural life of New England.
 The two principal causes of the de- cline of New England agriculture fol- lowing the Civil war were the opening of the Great West and the rapid growth of the cities. The more ener- getic and ambitious of the younger generation largely deserted sthe farms,

 Germany, it is said is now putting up a great library building which will be devoted to housing the literature of the war, which indicates that these volumes may rise to 50.000 or 100, 900. The world believes in books today>>as it never has believed in them before Books are the true Jewellers of the race, through them writer and reader associate and find real companionship.

 Look out that you do not mistake hattery for friendship. This is an every day error which produces any thing but pleasant results. The per sons you are introduced to find 1t pleasure to know you-a delight to have made your acquaintance-with- out a feeling of sincerity or a oualm Of conscience. The larger part of polite greetings. are code echoes, not sincere expressions. Perhaps nothing 'ruer was ever said than this: Tt is better to be a thorn in the side of a friend than to be his echo." It has always been easier for folks. to flat ter than to praise-to say things which sound well but which really mean nothing. Flattery is one of the marks of usefulness, the lubricater of winning way. It sometimes becomes necessity. for did not TaiIeyrand discover ''the rich man despises those who f1atter him too much: and hates those who do not fiatter him at alf..''
