AMERICAN SH|PP|N|,
LOSSES MULTIPLIED
Have Been Eleven Times As
Much In Six Months As
During Year 1916

Washing ton, July 6.-Ameriean ship
ping losses due to submarine activities
during the first six months of 1917
amounted to eleven times the total loss
es of the previous years, DR.. William
Z. Delaney, chief of the United States
war risk insurance bureau, told the
United Press today.
Since January l. 1917, the bureau has
insured SAL, ,51S of cargees with
loss of $9,200,000. Previous to that time
the bureau had lost only $900,000 due
to submarine sinkings. Since the begin
ming of the war in 1914 the total salv-
age of vessels sunk amounted to only
$50, ,055.S7. ~ --s-----
Millionssof dollars are saved to Am
erican exporting firms every month by
the bureau of insurance rates. On the
$623, ,964,59S worth Of cargoes so far in
sured the rate has been little less
than two and a half per cent.
American insurance firms as a rule
are refusing to insure cargoes enter
inc the war zone, but where they are
willing to take the risk the premium
runs higher than fifteen per cent.
Marine insurance rates in Great Brit
ain run from eight to sixteen per cent
hhllc tHe dNcIdSe ruTOpcdH fdlt Is De-
tween eight and twelve per cent.
The monthly average of ships insur-
ed during the two years previous to
1917 was only sixty four vessels. The
number insured during June 1917 was
,405.
Up 70 date the bureau has not lost a
dollar on the insurance of seamen and
officers under the provisions of the
new $j0,000,000 war risk insurance bill
recently passed by congress. 1t is esti-
mated that before the war is termi-
mated about 2S0,000 seamen will be in
surcd at an average insurance of ST.
500 per man. The cost of insuring these
men will be borne by the owners of ves-
sells upon which the men sail.

Since Germany by her submarine system is trying TO

it is permissible for the United States to use the same

they're stricken low, and, smiling, greet the
face of death. And some are brave who are
not called to WELD the sword in deadly

Tho Dust Mulch Is the Thing.
Progressive Farmer.)

Two things. plant foods and mois-
ture. in abundance, are vitally neces-
sary to the production 0! large crops.
Without both Of these or either of
them, crops must at least in part fail.
The food must be in the soil for the
plant. and water must be present in
order that this plant food may be
kept in solution. Plants can take
only Il liquid diet--solid food is OF no
value to them.
From May until August is a criti-
cal time with mOst OF our cultivated
crops. The weather is warm and Of
ten dry. and evaporation is rapid
Under such conditions, moisture con-
servation is Of first importance, and
in attaining this every farmer should
know the value Of making and main
tanning dust mulch.
This much acts just like a blanket
in keeping the water in the soil. Any
farm boy who has turned over a
board or plank lying fiat on the
ground has found it moist and cool
underneath, though possibly all
around the soil may have been dry
and parched. The farmer who main
tains by means Of an earth or dust
mulch just such conditions over all
his fields is the man who is likely to
suffer least in periods OF drouth.
