OCEAN SAILORS FEAR SUBS
Many Deep-Water Tars Went 70 Great
Lakes, They Assert, to
Escape Divers.

Ocean sailors went to the Great
Lakes this year In greater numbers
than ever before. The majority Of the
applicants sought able seamen's pa.
pers for work on inland waters. Some
were negroes, some white and some
yellow. Most Of them gave as their
reason for leaving the ocean their fear
of submarines.
When John Ojala, q native of Fin.
land, applied for papers, the examiner
asked Ojala the usual questions, and
then a few personal ones. Ojala said
that he had sailed the seas for ID
years, but being twice ON vessels sunk
by submarines was enough for him.
He said that he was going back to the
ocean at the close Of the lake nayiga.

On November 20, 1915, Ojala was

Gathering the sugar In it's leaves

before going to seed meant not only
further stirring of the soil by cultiva-

succeeding crops. Being plowed out

winter rains, storing up the moisture

With the removal of the main root
myriads of fibrOus roots were broken
OFF and left In the soil TO an estimated
average of ton TO the acre, and In
rotting they not only deposited humus

left minute channels through which II
became aerated and hence fertile. The
roots of subsequent crops followed
these interstices and drew nutriment
from two and three times the depth
of the soil formerly reached, and hence
the farmers doubled or trebled their
soil without increasing their acreage.
Not only that. but the succeeding crops

The sugar beet pays a handsome re-
