NEW HANDLING OF SEED POTATO
VARIETIES AND LOCALITIES

NEW HANDLING OF SEED POTATO
Economy is effected by cutting
single eyes in conical shape and
using remainder of tuber for table.
cinnati; April 6 to April Is, New York, In
dianapolis, Detroit, Chicago; April 10 to 20,
Boston. Albany, Rochester, etc.
In the southern or middle cities "lates"
should be planted five to ten weeks later.
In the northern cities late varieties should
be planted from four to five weeks later.
DEPTH AND SPACING
Plant the small eye cuttings from one
and half to three inches deep, depending
upon the character of the soil--the lighter
the soil the greater the depth Of planting.
Larger sets may be planted four inches
deep.
II an early variety is planted and the
work Is to be done by hand, the rows may
be spaced as close as twenty-six inches.
whereas II cultivation is to be done with a
horse, thirty to thirty-four inches usually
is allowed. In order to give the gardener
some idea of the number of sets required
to plant plot Of ground so by 100 feet at
different spacings the following table is

TO PLANT A PLOT so BY 100 FEET

II late variety is planted, the spacing
should be greater, say thirty-four to thirty
six inches between the rows and twelve to
fourteen inches between the plants in the
row. The closeness of planting should be
determined first by the variety and second
by the amount Of available plant food and
moisture in the SOIL or tnat can be applied
to it,
YIELD
Potato yields vary so greatly that only
an approximate estimate can be given. If
an early variety is grown, It Is not too
much to expect twelve or fifteen bushels
from plot of ground 80 by 100 feet. Under
favorable conditions this amount may be
very considerably exceeded. In the case of
a late variety, larger yields may be ex-
pected

Little Rock, March 3O.-Senator w. F. Kirby was in the city yesterday, re- turning from Texarkana, where he had been called by the illness of his aged father and mother. He will leave tomorrow for Washington, to be pres ent when Congress convenes in extra session next Monday. In discussing international affairs, he said:
 "The situation is desperate. The purpose of calling the etxra session is to declare war. It is inevitable. With in a few months we will have com pulsory military training between the ages of IS and 45, and there will be a million and half men in the mobli- zation camps. e don't want this war, and l have done all 1 could to keep the country out of it. But if it must come, 1 believe in preparing to make the most of it, and that as speed fly as possible. It's bigger job than some of the men who are clamoring for war seem to appreciate. It will cost untold amounts of men and treasure. It will be a war brought about by the British propagandists and Wall Street, and I repeat that we don't want it, and lot of folks that are disposed to criticise now, will agree with me six months from now"

sffKS TO JUSTIFY
 RUTHLESS WARFARE
uor Bethmann-HOllweg Again n Defends Violation of Interna- tional Law-Wants No War With United States.

Berlin. March 29, by Wireless to c.rr;lle -"Germany never had the slightest intention of attacking the rrrited States of America and does not have such intention now. It never aosired war against the United States ,f America and does not desire it to- dav," was the declaration made by the German imperial chancellor, Dr. von Rethmann-H Hollweg, in a speech in the Reichstag today.
 The chancellor made important de- cIarations concerning Germany's pol icv toward the United States and Rus sia
 "How did these things develop?" asked the chancellor in speaking of the relations with the United States. He then proceeded to answer the question by reviewing the causes which led up to the German use of submarines in unrestricted warfare Declaring that Germany had undertaken unrestricted warfare for its defense Dr. von Beth mann-Hollweg said:
 Disclaims Any Blame.
 If the American nation considers this a cause for which to declare war against the German nation, with which it has lived in peace for more than 100 years, if this action warrants an increase of bloodshed we shall not have to bear the burden of responsbl- ty for it."
 Concerning German relations with the United States the chancellor whose speech is reported by the Overseas News Agency (the German official news bureau) said:
 within the next few days the di- rectors of the American nation will be convened by President Wilson for an extraordinary session of Congress in order to decide the question of war or peace between the American and Ger man nations.
 Germany never had the slightest intention of attacking the United States of America and does not have such intention now. It never desired war against the United States of America and does not desire it today.

 How did these things develop? More than once We told the United states that We made unrestricted war rare Of the submarine expecting that England could be made to observe in her policy of blockade the laws of hu- mahlty and international agreements. lms blockade policy-this I expressly recall has been called illegal and in- ndeienslble (the imperial chancellor

WOMAN FALL UNDER
 TRAIN; ONE IS DEAD
Another is Probably Fatally In Jured in Accident at Shepard, Near Hope, on a Log Train Yesterday Morning.

Hope, March 29.-Miss Mamie Bride well of Hope is dead Mrs. s. M. Bran debury of Sheppard is seriously in- Jured, and Miss Evelyn von Jagers- field of Hope is slightly injured, as the result of an accident on a log train at Sheppard, a small town on the Iron Mountain about eight miles from Hope at Il this morning.
 Mrs. Brandeburg is dangerously in- jured and has many broken bones. Fol- lowing the accident she was taken to Josephine hospital for surgical atten- ton. It was said at the hospital that her chances for recovery are slight. Miss Won Jagersfeld suffered a wrenched back, but, aside from a severe nervous shock, her condition is not serious.
 The accident occurred in the timber few miles from the S. M. Brandebury mill at Sheppard. A tram road ex- tends from the mill about four miles into the timber. It is used to haul logs to the mill. This morning when a log train made up of several trucks start ed for Sheppard, the women wished to ride. A long plank was placed across the trucks. The log train had gone scarcely half a mile when the plank broke. The three women fell through the truck and under the train. The log train was wrecked when the truck passed over the bodies of Miss Bride well and Mrs. Brandebury.
 The parents of the young women were notified and several automobiles loaded with their friends left at once for the scene. A switch engine was sent to the scene early this afternoon and returned with Mrs. Brandebury and Miss Bridewell's body.
 Miss Bridewell was the daughter of MT and Mrs Robert Bridewell, and Miss Von Jagersfeld is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. c. Van Jagersfeld.
 LATER-Word was received here that Mrs. s. M. Brandebury died this morning from the effects of the in- juries received.

MUST ABANDON U.B0AT
 POLICY TO AVERT WAR
German Chancellor's Speech Has No Effect on United States Only a Repetition-Plans Still Indefinite.

Washington, March 31.-while it is assumed from the defensive measures already taken by the military arm of the government that President Wilson in addressing Congress next week will ask for a declaration of war against Germany or a declaration that a state of war exists, it is known he will speak along broad lines, dealing light ly with incidents leading up to the present crisis.
 The general situation has not been changed by the speech of the German Chancellor von BethmannH Hollweg to- day. Officials say that Germany has consistently attempted to lay the blame for her acts on other nations. Previously President Wilson has taken the position that Germany is in no way justified in carrying on subma- rine ruthlessness because of the Brit ish blockade.
 Tries to Shift Blame.
 Only complete abandonment of the unrestricted submarine warfare could change the attitude of the United States, it has been said, and press re- ports indicate that the German chan cellor did not discuss that possibility. The president will meet with his cabinet tomorrow for the last time be- fore beginning to write his message to Congress. He is hopeful that no time will be lost in organizing the house, so that he may deliver his address as soon as possible after the extra ses- sion convenes.
 Public opinion is indicated by clip pings from newspapers in all parts of the country as unmistakably favoring decisive action. The views represent ed by some Western congressman as to the apathy of their constituents

 Must Side With DemOcracies.

Officials here believe that Germany has unmistakably shown, through a long succession of violations of inter- national law, that the United States must definitely unite with the liberal democracies of the world against the four most complete autocracies both for it's present and its future safety. The Belgian invasion and deportations, the ruthless submarine warfare, the attempts to embroil neutral countries in plots and the general conduct of the war have convinced many officials that the German military system is a per- manent danger to the worlds peace.

COMPARATIVE CALM
 ON WESTERN FRONT
Allies Reach Hindenburg Line, and Must Wait for Big Guns to Come Up-Are Holding in Champagne.

New York, March 29.-For the first time since the British and French troops began their seizure of ground between Arras and Soissons, evacuat- ed by the Germans, period of com parative calm has set in. The only advance recorded by the British or French war offices is the capture of the village of Neuville Bourjonval, about 10 miles northwest of Roisel, by the troops of Field Marshal Sir Doug las Haig. Only artillery activity is reported from the front held by the French troops, it still being quite vio- lent in the Champagne on the sector of Maisons de Champagne, around Hill 304, near Verdun and in Lorraine.
 Warfare Becoming Stationary.
 The warfare is becoming somewhat stationary again as the British out posts and patrols have come face to face with the so-called Hindenburg lines. The German position is strong. as they have had unlimited time in which to prepare it, far from shell fire, so the problem again arises of smashing down this defense with sui ficient artillery to permit another advance
 Minor actions continue between the German rear guard machine-gun de- tachments and the British infantry and cavalry patrols, but nothing ap- preaching the proportions of a battle has yet developed The Germans have fortified every possible position in the line of retreat, including barbed wire entanglements about COW barns and pig pens.
 Heavy artillery is coming into play again back of the Cambrai-St Quentin line. It is reported that the German emperor recently visited the territory over which the Germans retreated, having come with Field Marshal von Hindenburg and given his approval of the methods adopted during the re- treat.
 The Germans are striking in Cham pagne in a determined effort to divert General Neville from his ceaseless pounding at the base of the shaken Hindenburg line. The scene of the counter-offensive launched by Field Marshal von Hindenburg is along a 15-mile front, starting about 25 miles east of Rheims.
 Military critics in Paris and London believe that the present German re- treat is only part of the plan for a re- tirement on tremendous scale, to the Belgian border

England, to gether with her allies. ar rogantly rejected the peace offers made by us and our allies"
 Dealing with Russia, the imperial chancellor said that hte Russian en- peror had not listened to the German emperor's advice no longer to oppose the justified wishes of his nation for reform.
 Had Russia's attention been con- centrated on internal reconstruction" said the chancellor, "there would have been no room for the restless policy of expansion which finally led to this war"
 pr. von Bethmann-Ho Hollweg emphat- ically denied that the German emperor or Germany was desirous of restoring "czardom."

"Tho farmers of North Dakota arc robbed OF $50 :.
100000 each year BY the Chamber of Commerce and
others who buy their grain" .
This 10 the One Great Argument Of the aeitators
who have hoodwinked the farmers Of the state into fall
ing into the sociaustie trap. SGT BY Townley and his So
cialist aides.
Numerous efforts have been made to get a basis for
these asserttons-to secure the figures on which such q
Wild statement was made-but the only reply was that
"Dr. Worst" or DR.. LAdd" or "ths Agricultural College
Experts" had demonstrated the truth Of these figures.
DR.. Iadd. president OF Agricultural college, denied
with some show Of wrath that he had ever made such
a statement or that he would even consider them as be-
ing in the least authentic. Others Of the college faculty
likewise Unclaimed any authority for such bombast.
When 1t was finally run down it was found that
John H. Worst, when president Of Agricultural college,
was the father of the Bull stun"-that he had made the
statement before the Tri-state Grain Growers associa-
don at Fargo in January, 1916. and in the files of the
Fargo Forum Of January Fl. 1916, was found a full re-

These "B. s." figures are reprinted in the cartoon

But Boss Townley wasn't satisfied with even these
figures, and in his memorable meeting in Grand Forks

Thus. even II DR.. worsts worst figures are scientific

and the farmers Of the state were losers to the extent Of
some $4,000, 900 on dockage, freight charges. ETC.. the
remainder of the ONE HUNDRED MILLIONS would
have to be found in the last item. and that would show
that the Car Of North Dakota Socialists was dealing In

But that wouldn't be at all surprising, considering
his past record.
But the big question Is, dear reader:-wHAT DO
YOU THINK ABOUT IT?
