INCREASING YEARS CROPS BY
IMMEDIATE USE OF NEW LANDS

Washington, May 1.-The acreage
of certain crops this year can be
greatly increased by breaking new
land where such land is near farms
already in operation, according to the
specialists of the U. S. department of
agriculture. Assuming that all cult
waited land will continue to be framed,
this use of new land now offers the
largest opportunity for increased acre
age of 1917 crops. This applies to
the prairie region in general, but prin-
cipally to the Great Plains The
breaking up of new lands provides for
crops that would otherwise be put on
present cultivated land. If these new
lands should not be ready in time for
crops of the present season, they
should be in excellent condition for
wheat next fall or for wheat or some
other crop next spring. The farmer
is not urged to use new land to the
neglect of his usual farm operations or
to attempt more than he can carry
out in the way of breaking new land
with his available labor and equip
ment.
Crops Adapted to New Breaking
The crops that are known to do best
on new breaking in the Great Plains
and prairie regions generally are
fax, corn, sorghum (kafir, mila, sorgo,
or sweet sorghum), broom corn and
beans. Such vine crops as squashes,
pumpkins, etc., can sometimes be
grown to advantage with corn, kafir or
other titled crops where live stock is
available to utilize them before freez-
ing weather in the fall In some cases
the total production per acre can be-
increased by growing two crops to-
gether, such as corn and pumpkins
where they are adapted.
Flax
Flax is adapted to the northern
plains, especially to Montana, the Da-
kotas, and western Minnesota. The
acreage of fax can probably be in
creased to great extent on new land
in this district. It can be sown late in
the season and is we'll adapted to new

IRISH INTERDEPENDENCE

LONDON, September LIN the Sep
TENDER number of the English Review
there is a remarkable article on the
of Ireland by Prof.
John Macneill, q Gaelic scholar, who
was sentenced to penal servitude for
life as a Sim Feiner, and recently re-
leased. though he took no part in the
Dublin revolution. He says:
The basis of the notion of inter
dependence as against independence
among states and nations should be
the recognition of the principle that
obtains in civilized free communities
namely. that each unit. whether weak
or strong, for its own protection is
as equal to each other unit
to the eye of law.
Il am not supposing the existence of
fully effective international law in the
near future. All / postulate is that in
whatever principles may be propound-
ed to regulate interdependence of nations
the weak shall have the same con-
sideration as the strong"
Austin Harrison. in an editorial on
the PREDATORY note to the Macneill ar
ticle, says there is nothing REASONABLE
in the aspirations of the Sim Fein,
and the way of reconciliation and con-
struction lies in the acceptance of the
movement as partly in the spirit of the
age.

Ravaged Balkan Country.

To succor the victims Of the three wars
which In quick succession have ravaged

An idea of the magnitude of the task
facing this commission is given by Maj
R. NJ Kirby Smith, who for many months
represented the American Red Cross in
Serbia. and who is now assistant director
general of military relief, with offices at
Red Cross headquarters in this city. From
an army of nearly a half million at the
beginning of the war. over $50, 200 men
are estimated to have been taken pris-
oners by the central powers. Most of
these are now suffering from nlalnutrition

Six hundred severely wounded Serbian
prisoners were exchanged for German
prisoners. while in Austrian prison camps
they had been receiving less than eight
