There's very ungrateful rabbit in
Shepherdstown, who has made his home
on, Tater Hill since last fall. During the
hard times of the past winter w. P. Lick
lider and DR.. Burwell have treated the
rabbit as friend, and when provisions
grew scarce they fed him with delicacies
that should be appreciated by any we'll
regulated bunny. Not only so, but they
made him welcome about their homes
and more than once saved him from the
attacks OF predatory cats and dogs and
from the traps of small boys. But they
don't love Br'er Rabbit any more. A few
weeks ago when they made their early
garden they set out choice cabbage plants
and put in other truck, hoping to bring
down the high cost of living. Anew days
ago they noticed that an enemy was at
work-the cabbage plants were being
eaten and other garden sass was being
destroyed. Of course they blamed the
trouble on the pestiferous English sparrow,
but for once the sparrow was not guilty.
for Mr.. Licklider discovered the rabbit
on Monday sitting up and enjoying a
feast on the juicy young cabbage. He
shooed the ungrateful creature away, and
the rabbit is no longer regarded as a
friend.

FARMERS URGED
TO BREAK LAND
NOW FOR WHEAT
Grain Sown on Such Ground VIII Give
Much Larger Yield Next Season

Topeka, Kan, July 10.-Declaring
that it would be a mistake to sow an
extensive acreage to wheat at the sac
rifice of thorough and careful prepara.
tion of the seed bed William M. Jardine.
dean Of the division Of agriculture at
the Kansas Agricultural College and
chairman Of the agricultural produc-
tion committee Of the Kansas Council
Of Defense has made a report to the
council urging the necessity Of early
plowing. The report deals with wheat
planted on stubble land, on cornstalk
ground and on fallow land.
There is an abundance of evidence
on every hand to show conclusively
that wheat when sown on stubble land
that was plowed in July, producessany-
where from five to ten bushels to the
acre more than on the same kind Of
land which was not plowed until Sep
tember, or just before planting" says
the report. in normal times, the ma
jority of wheat planted in the state is
on September plowed land. This is the
primary reason why we have such a
low acre yield in this state The thing
that should be done now is to prepare
the stubble land early for fall sowing
Of wheat. Ii is the easiest. most prac-
tical and most inexpensive way of sub
stantially increasing the acre-yield and
the total harvest Of wheat in this state
1t is by far more feasible than to in.
crease the acreage, with our limited man
power and seed We should first en.
phasize the Importance of putting In
well what wheat we SOW and only pu;
in as much as we can plant we'll"
Dean Jardine declared that the coun.
Gil of defense ought TO exhaust every
means at it's disposal within the next
month to promote a sentiment in favor
Of early preparation Of the seed bed for
wheat"
Regarding wheat on cornstalk ground.
the report says
"Cornstalk ground. next to summer
fallow and early planting, furnishes the
best seedbed for wheat All that can
be done now until planting time is to
see that the corn Is well titled and free
from weeds. and most farmers are doing
everything their equipment. time and
labor will permit
The million acres Of fallow ground is
probably double the amount that has
ever been fallowed before for wheat
declared the report. commenting on
wheat on fallow land.
This year, wherever wheat was sown
on fallow land a good crop has been
produced" continues the report. Yields
Of 25 to 30 bushels are being reported
by isolated farmers in western Kansas
who sowed on fallow ground. At the
Hays station we are producing several
thousand bushels Of wheat on fallow
ground that will make twenty bushels
to the acre where other methods prac'
tically have resulted in nothing"

GERMAN SUB Is FOUND
WITH ALL GREW DEAD
Trouble With Machinery Believed to
Have Caused Death.

An American Port, July 1O.-Every
man of her crew having died, presum-
ably from suffocation, one of Germa-
ny's latest type submarines recently was
taken by British patrol, according to
story by the captain of steamer
now taking cargo at a Gulf port.
The U-boat was found fully exposed
and with no sign of life on board,
short distance off ths Irish coast
Insistent calls for aid by wireless
were received at first by the British,
who believed the S o S to be sent by
Germans as trap. After considerable
time had elapsed, a heavily armed patrol
boat was dispatched to the point indi-
Gated. The patrol approached cautious
ly and circled about the underwater
craft several times TO see what would
happen, at the same time keeping her
guns carefully trained on the enemy.
Nothing at all happened. Volunteers
to board the submarine were called for.
There was a quick response.
a nauseating stencil greeted the par
ty when the matches were opened. Every
man of the crew had been dead several
days. Formation of gas or trouble with
the U-boat's machinery which prevented
rising to the surface when desired are
two theories advanced as the cause of
the Germans death. The captain said
the admiralty did not make known the
specific cause of the trouble.
The o calls were supposed to have
come from a merchant ship which be.
gan calling for aid the moment the U.
boet was sighted but which changed
her course and fled in another direction
