American private industry is the ulti- mate force that must make us vic torious. War today is not a matter primarily of men, even of heroic arm ies-indeed, the European conflict proves that individual heroism Is al- most the commonest human trait. English, German, French, Turks and Bulgars all possess 1t abundantly and certainly Americans on the field will not fall behind them. But Germany has so far gained the military ad- vantage because she has organized the mechanical side of warfare most completely.
 The allies made way slowly at first, because they had not done this, and they now make progress to the extent that they assemble their in- dustrial resources. That will likewise be the story here and the comfor- ing thing for Americans is that we have unlimited wealth of this kind. If modern warfare Is a matter of in- telligently directed mechanics, the nation that produces more steel than all the rest combined and certainly does not lack high grade industrial organizing talent Is not foe that can be despised. And the fact that our manufacturers stand ready. with out expectation of profit. to turn all these resources over to the president augurs well for our success.

THE AMERICAN SPIRIT.

Nothing more gratified Americans in the early days of the German sit- uation than the response made by our large manufacturers. Their repre- sentatives reached Washington, al- most the first of all, after President Wilson's address before congress. They imediately placed their plants at the disposal of the government, and this offer came not only from the great establishments such as the United States Steel Corporation, whose transformed into a mighty arsenal. Even the most cynical hardly sug- gested that an appetite for profit ex- plained this great enthusiasm.
 The fact that all American manu- facturers are overwhelmed with pro- fitable orders and that placing their resources at the disposal of Wash ington means a great financial loss, immediately disposes of any such idea. That these concerns stand momentar- hly ready to cancel contracts that yield them anywhere from 100 to 1000 per cent and turn their plants over to the federal government, which will pay them only a moderate profit, cer- tainly indicates remarkable progress since 1898 when profit taking was by no means divorced from war.
 The proceeding emphasizes another point, which meany have ignored in the last few years. In case of war,

POULTRY AND EGGS,
No Tim, to Slaughter Young Laying
 Hen. Because Grain is High.

To slaughter young laying hens Is taken to killing the goose that lays the golden egg, and turning growing bullets into market poultry now is not lar from being a crime, writes D. J. Lambert; Extension Department Poul- try Instructor. Rhode Island College.
 We have said a lot about being pa triotic and doing our bit in this crisis, and 1t looks bad for poultry keepers to "get cold feet" just because there's a furry in the grain market.
 The time was when there was easy money in poultry keeping; grain wzs good prices. Now that feed costs around four cents d pound, poultry raisers are scared before they are badly hurt. Look at the prices of cheap and never before has it cost more for seed. fertilizer and labor
 Even row. by using bath dry grains and wet mash, a hen can be fed at the cents at retail, so that only two eggs day will bring enough money to buy feed for a flock of ten hens. The price of eggs ie steadily going up while that of feed Is coming down and those who hang on to their good layers will be we'll paid later on.
 Poultrs. keepers and others who live long distances from a retail market should take advantage of the use of the parcel post to sell eggs, poultry and farm produce direct to the user, thus receiving all of the consumers dollar after paying for postage and package.
 There will be fresh Iaid eggs this fall and winter and they will find buy CTS at prices corresponding to their scarcity At 10 cents each eggs com pare very favorably with other foods and are we'll worth the price. Furth- ermore, when grain again returns to normal prices there will be an -unpre- cedented demand for breeding. stock, eggs for matching, dave chicks and connected with poultry cloud has a silver lining" but this promises to be a golden one.

NORWICH MAY HAVE
 ANNUAL POULTRY SHOW
Local Faneiers Making Efforts to Get
 s. N. E. Poultry Association Hero

Efforts are being made by local poultry fanciers to have the annual show of the Southern New England Poultry Association held here in the town hall. The association held it's first show in New London in 1911 and since then the number of poultry fam ciers in New London and vicinity has doubled. Last year the number of entries was so great that there was no building in New London large enough to accommodate the show and 1t had to be moved across the harbor to Groton. This. however, was very inconvenient and the majority of the members of the association are in fa- vor of holding the show in Norwich this year if the Town hall can be se- cured. If not there will probably be no show this year. The association would require the hall for three days as they could erect and take down the GOODS in the night if necessary. There are a number of local poultrymen members of the association and many of the non members have promised tc enter stock and otherwise aid in mak- ing the show success.

AGRICULTURAL INTERESTS

such as beets., carrots. parsnips and salad crops, like cabbage. The sec ond Is the cold, dry atmosphere re- quired by winter squash. onions and all bulbous crops. The third is the special class like celery. which re- quires cold, damp roots with cold, dry tops.
 Potatoes are the most common veg etable to be stored. but do not come directly under the vegetable class. AL though they require a cold atmos- phere, between 32 to 35 degrees, for perfect storage, it is dangerous to ad- init the conditions to become as moist as they would be for bcets, carrots and other root crops. Potatoes re- quire sufficient ventilation. to keep them fairly dry, but on the other hand, the air must not be so dry that the tubers give off moisture and become wilted and rubbery. This results in a direct economic loss and is the reason why many large users of potatoes are unable to buy their entire winter sup ply tn> the fall.
 By observing the principles of stor- age and applying them correctly to the conditions on any particular farm or home, one may be faiiIy sure that he is storing his produce wisely

POINTS ON BEAN HARVESTING. Prof. Earl Jones Gives Advice. to
 Amateur F 3 rmers.

Prof Earl Jones. Massachusetts agri- cultural college, makes the following recommendation regarding harvesting beans:
 Beans. are harvested just before they begin to shell. In dry weather a few of the pods and leaves may still be green,' but in wet weather most of the leaves should have dropped off so that the beans will cure as quickly as possible.
 Harvesting may be done by hand or with a bean harvester. With bean geather. A man with a pitchforlk should follow the harvester and place the beans in small piles, shaking out whatever dirt or stones the harvester may have gathered. A side delivery hay rake Is sometimes used to put four rows fin one pile. Common dump rakes afe not so satisfactory.
 If some of the leaves are still green the beans may be allowed to lie on the field for a few hours before piling. Otherwise they should be placed in small piles or windows soon after pulling. The piles should De built high and rather small at the bottom to in sure quicker curing. Beans should be until they are sufficiently dry. It Is considered a good indication that the beans are ready for storing in the barn when pressing with the thumb leaves out d SASuI Ol Iilc OedI.
 Rain, while the beans are in'the pile, will not injure them If they are turned over after the storm. They should be handled as little and as carefully as possible in order to avoid smelling. When the beans are thoroughly dry they should be stored in a barn to await t'1reshing. They should not be tightly packed in the now They may be left until the farmer is ready to thresh them by hand or by machin- cry"

GUARD AGAINST FROST.
How to Protect Vegetables From
 Being Destroyed.

Don't watch the moon tor signs of the firs- frost, watch the weather bureau. And when the warming from the forecaster comes. as it usually will from A to 2S hours in advance, look to the protection of the garden produce which is not yet under to forstall the surprise attacks of this Jack Frost person and representatives of the United States weather bureau realizing that good deaf more. pro- duce will be subject to loss from frost this fall than ever before, have ad- vised early preparedness on the part of farmers.
 First, the specialists suggest, pro- teottve coverings should be made ready. Vegetables cannot scamper to cover, but the gardener can scamper coverings to the vegetables and per haps save a winters supply in short time if te is prepared. Old blankets, Tarpaulin.; na[5sr i'm; sacks, sacks; straw straw manure may be used for covering. The con ditions favorable for the formation of early frost in fall are usually of short duration and consequently pro to be employed only for a day or two. After the first fall frost there Is gen. eraIly A return to normal tempera- lures for a n11n1oer of days, possibly TOT week O. more. during which time immature vegeta b,es that have been protected will continue to grow or ripen.
 When frost is imminent and pro lection is not possible or practicable, vegetables likely to be in1lu ed should he gathered and canned, dried, pickled; preserved or stored Those that cannot be saved from exposure to freezing should, if possible. be gath cred before t1aw1ng takes place. Tn the case of potatoes, especially sweet potatoes, all vines should be cut off

 Tomatoes may be pulled up, plant and all, and hung tops downward in a dark place, preferably a cellar. When treated in this way the fruit will ripel. nicely and slowly and will be available for table use for a long time after the plants have been re- moved from :he soil. Fruit that is very immature should be: removed from the vines and may he used for pickling or in other ways. If fla cilities for hanging the vines are lacking, the tomatoes nearing full growth will ripen satisfactorily if wrapped separately in paper and stored in dark place.
 Many vegetables such as cabbage and turnfps are not harmed by or dinary Srost and need no special pro- lection. In fact, such root vegetables as carrots, parsnips and salsify are improved by freezing and are cus- tomarily left in the ground until needed.
