Earth Grows Slowly Now.

In the early days of its history the
earth grew rapidly by the addition Of
meteorlc matter. 1t Is still growing in
the same manner, scientists say
though scarcely to an appreclable .ex-
tent, for the mass Of meteoric matter
added yearly is reckoned to be only
10000 tons. In the course Of ages the
larger planets have swept up practic-
ally all the fragments of the original
disruption, and the only available
source Of supply of meteoric matter
seems to be brought by comets

How Germans Attack.

1t has frequently been stated of late
hat the German troops attack in mass
formation even ip the face Of machine
gun and shell fire, policy little short
Of suicidal under conditions of modern
warfare. A Dutch army officer who
has been an observer on the front
says that this is not strictly so. He
states that the attack has the appear
ance Of mass attack because 1t is
composed Of successive waves of in
fantry. The rear waves are kept in
close formation to heighten the morale
Of the troops, but the attack is not
a mass attack, strictly speaking. The
Germans charge in close order when
they have located what they consider
the weak spot in the line Of defense.

a year prior to the outbreak of the

American neutrality.
Two separate sets of indictments
were returned - ninety-eight bearing
on a worldwide plot to foment revo-

so-called Steamship Sacramento case,
in which it is charged an effort was
made to provision German warships
at sea. The men named range from

Little Bodily Energy in Potatoes.

A pound OF potatoes yields hardly
One-tifth as much body energy as a
pound of rice, cornmeal, or wheat.
This is partly because they are much
more watery and partly because a
large proportion is discarded with the
skins. Part of this loss is inevitable
because the skin itself is not usually
considered good to eat; but the more
carelessly potatoes are pared, the more
of the valuable edible substance goes
with the skin.

If you want to grow the heaviest
possible crops of alfalfa, and get the
largest money return from the water
rsed, don't apply more than 80 to SO
inches Of irrigation water a year, un
Ger such general conditions as those,
for instance of the loan soils of the
Sacrament valley. To apply more
than 36 inches usually does not pro-
luce corresponding increase in yield.
Most California alfalf growers over
irrigate.
Such is the valuable knowledge now
made available for every farmer in
California through report written
by Frank Adams. professor of iriga-
tion investigation in the University Of
California, and Ralph d. Robertson.
Samuel H. Beckett, Wells A. Hutch
ms and o. w. Israelsen. These men
Lave co-operated in six years of eX-
periments carried on jointly by the
University of California, the Califor-
MIA State Department of Engineering
and the Office of Public Roads and
Rural Engineering of the United
States Department CT Agriculture.
Copies of their Bulletin No. 8 may be
obtained by writing to Irrigation In
vestigations, College OF Agriculture

partment of Engineering in Sacra-
nento. Demonstration will be shown
also at the University Farm picnic
at Davis on Saturday, April 28.
Four applications of 7R to 6
inches each year are recommended
for Sacramento valley alfalfa fields
IN general, this irrigation to be given
Immediately after cutting. However
it is pointed out that alfalfa planted
On very open or very impervious soils
should be irrigated more than once
between cuttings.
1t is urged that the farmer should
,se a soil auger frequently, to fine
out whether he is keeping his soil
moist enough, and moist deep enough
down, to get the best results from
his alfalfa. Alfalfa begins to wilt
when the soil contains less water than
for silt loans, 10 PEI cent, and TO
clay loans, 16 per cent. The so
i,oisture should be kept from A to
e per cent above the percentage at
which willing occurs. This can be
brought about by applying from six
tenths to nine-tenths of an inch o!
irrigation water per foot of soil for
loan soils, and from seven-tenths Il
one and two-tenths inches per foot
of soil for heavier slay loans and
clays. To apply more than these
amounts is not only waste of wa
ter, but threatens positive damage tc
the crop and permanent damage to
the soil.
The reason why many farmers ap-
ply excessive quantities of irrigatior
water is that they have been using
too small irrigating heads, or toC
large checks. Irrigating heads not
large enough to enable alfalfa checks
t., be watered EVENLY with six acre
inches of water per acre per irriga-
tion are too small, and the remedy is
either larger irrigating heads or
sraller checks-preferably the latter,
especially in the case of the smaller
holdings.
These conclusions come from six
