 2. Look over the cotton plant ing seed and see to it that they are sound and dry.
 3. Spend day in the crib selecting the best seed corn available, unless this work was done ill the field last fall, as it should have been.
 4. A top-dressing of 75 to 100 pounds per acre of nitrate of soda or sulphate of ammonia on the oats and wheat will pay if these crops appear to be mak- ing insufficient stem and leaf growth.

Trieste, though the forward move ment sackened considerably and much of the time Was given to consolidating the positions already won. and beating off the furious counter-aSsaults of the AuStrsanS. The Italians captured San Giovanni, one of the key defenses of Trieste, and it was reported that all noncombatants had ben ordered to leave the latter city, indicating that the AuStrians did not hope to hold pos session of it much longer. The evident plan of the Italians was to move on Trieste along the coast of the Adriatic, avoiding the mountainous country far ther north and obtaining the aid of British WarshipS. Northeast of Cor itz the Italians made some further progress. The achievements of the Italian soldiers in this offensive are truly wonderful. when the nature of the country and the strength of the opposition are considered, and their bravery and high spirit are unsur- passed.
 In France there was violent artil- lery firing through the week, and the combatS in the air were numerous and spectacular. Again the allied airmen demonstrated their superiority over those of the German army. The Brit ish ayiators have been especially ac tive. and in night flights have dropped many tons Of explosives on military establishments of the enemy far back of inc lines.
 The lull in the activity of other arms on the west front was taken to presage another big offensive, and this time it is predicted that the Germans are preparing a tremendous effort to smash France before American troops can help her.
 Another marked decrease in the number of British ships sunk by sub marines is noted in the weekly admir- alty report. Among the vessels lost Were q hospital ship and an armored cruiser. Spain and Norway were fur ther aggravated by the sinking of more of their vessels.

INJURY BY CUTWORM
Prompt Action Necessary to Con-
 troI Harmful Insect.

Where Pests Are Found to Be Numer- GUS Poisoned Bait Is Recommend ed-Distribute Over Infected
 Fields in Humps.

(From the United States Department of
 Agriculture)
 Numerous complaints of the ravages of cutworms, especially in relation to corn, are received each season by the department. Prompt action is neces- sary for controlling cutWorms after their presence becomes noticeable in the spring, which is usually about the tlme th4 corn begins to sprout. Be- sause of the fact that the delay neces- 1aiy s Between the time the worms make IT appearance and the time a re- ply can be received from the depart ment is often disastrous to the crop, the importance of recognizing these insects and knowing how to control them is evident.
 Cutworm injury almost invariably occurs in the spring, the plants usually being cut off at the surface, or a llt- tie below the surface, of the ground, beginning as soon as the first plants sprout and continuing until late June or early July, by which time the worms are full grown Feeding takes place at night the worms resting dur ing the day beneath debris in the soil at depth of from one-half 10 one inch below the surface, and since they closely resemble the color of the soil in most cases, the cause of the injury is often not apparent. However. if the soil surrounding the cutoff plant be eX amined carefully, the culprtt will quite likely be found curled up in the soil as Illustrated Gig. Q.

CABINET DISCUSSES
 RAILROAD PROBLEM
IF RAILROADS PROVE INCAPABLE UNITED STATES WILL TAKE
 CHARGE.

Washington.-The railroad prob cabinet meeting. AfteIward it was
 said that goVer1snent operation of rail-
 roads during the war will be attempt. ed only if it becomes certain the roads themselves are unable to deal with diff | ficulties that confront them.
 The general belief among adminis- tration officials is that the pooling plan about to be inaugurated by the roads should be given q thorough try out and that if il fails the government then should take a hand. There is no concealment. however, of some doubt that any pooling plan will work well as it might with each road compelleH
 to concern itself with it's individual profits.
 Since railroad congestion and coal
 distribution are linked so closely of. | ficials are watching a movement to- wards the pooling of coal shipments in the middle west. It the plan works well it will be extended with gov ernment encouragement to other dis. tricts Government reouisitioning of coal and a general government coal pool are considered likely next year The committee of railroad heads named by the railroad war board to direct operation of the railroad pool will hold it's first meeting in Pitts burgh.
 Fairfax Harrison, chairman of the war board, blamed much of the freight congestion in the East to routine prior ity orders issued by government de partments
 Our investigation of conditions in the East" he said, emphasizes the fact that congestion in that territory has been to great extent brought about by the excessive use of prefer ence orders for freight handled for the government or for concerns dk recuy or indirectly engaged in work on government contracts.
 This condition is not due to prior ity orders issued by the government priority director, but 10 routine pref erence orders issued by many repre- sentatiyes of government departments. The attempt to give expedited move ment to an excessive amount of freight has increased congestion in yards by causing a large increase in switching movement"
 In the country as a whole, MT. Har- rison said, the railroads are handling the traffic in as satisfactory manner as could be expected in view of the large volume. In the southeast the roads could handle still larger busi- ness.

 Most congressional leaders believe the S5,000,000, 900 balance mus be provided principally by issue of bonds, and Secretary McAdoo has told mem bers of Congress that he heartily ia yors that method. Chairman Kitchin of the House ways and means com mittee, on his return to Washington, will take up the question immediately and the committee within a week or two is expected to frame new bond measure. If this plan is finally adopt ed the country probably will be called on to absorb two more big Liberty bond issues between February l and July l. aggregating more than SS,500,- 100000
 Another big finance question which will receive the early attention of Congress is the continuance of loans to the allies. Ii the present rate of extending credits to the allies is con- tinued the $7,000, 100000 authorized credits will be exhausted by July l and Congress will have to decide whether to continue the loans after required for the fiscal year beginning July 1, if the rate of s500,000 900 a month is kept up.
 Wide difference of opinion e--ists in Congress over the question of wheth- CT the bulk of the S5,000, 100000 should be raised by taxation or bond issues. but those advocating the issue of se- curities expect strong support from the administration. They are prepar- ed to argue that the internal revenue bureau already is oyerburdened with the immense task Of creating machin- cry for collection of the $3,400, DOC. 900 war revenue expected before July l, and that great confusion would re- suit from the imposition of new taxes before opportunity has been given for the existing leyies to adjust themselves to the economic situation.
 Taxation advocates are expected to make a fight for establishment of new taxes on certain business lines and for increased income and excess profits rates. Under the present law the estimated receipts from incomes is s1,200.0 0.000.000 and from excess profits 220.00e,000

AMERICAN ARMY IS
 MAGNIFICENT BODY
THEIR DEVELOPMENT IN THE SCIENCE OF WAR IN FRANCE
 HAS BEEN WONDERFUL.

With the American Army in France-The development of the men of the first American contingent in France in the science of war was de seribed as truly remarkable by the general commanding the division.
 "I have been in the army since was a boy,9 he said. During that time I have observed many American and many foreign soldiers, but never in my life have 1 seen anything equal ing the men now here. When my di- vision landed we had shock-headed boys-by the hundreds. They were clerks, mechanics, day labarers, far mer boys, old and young, from every walk of life Some spoke English and some did not. There were Poles, Bo- hemians, Russians, Jews, Gentiles.
 They are game to the core and their one idea is to beat the Germans and give them a good beating. There isn't streak of yellow in the whole lot, and their morale, even in the trenches, is fine.
 Here is an example: One night re- gently an officer called for volunteers to go patrolling in No Mans Land. He asked for 20 men The whole com pany volunteered on the spot. Twen- ty were picked and lamp black was provided for them to put on their bay onets so that the light would not shine on them.
 blockinU ono nriVatp who had been in the army for four months, stopped a moment. turned to a comrade and said: Gee, if l can run this into one of those Boches, l bet he'll get blood poisoning, and l hope he does The boy knew the place he was to patrol was extremely dan gerous and that he might be casual. ty within 50 minutes.
 At another time l had just passed a line of soldiers walking along road in the rain, when 1 came across one who was hatless, undiscovered and limp. l stopped my automobile and asked him what was the matter. The soldier stood on one foot, the other being injured He saluted and said his horse had started to run into a stone wall, so he threw him down, but fell under him. That's the spirit we are getting. The man was badly hurt, but even that did not make him forget his training of few weeks.
 "I was returning at that time from the hospital, where l saw few wound ed men. Some of the mems proudest and most valuable possessions on earth are bullets and pieces of shrap- nel which thoughtful surgeons saved for them on extracting. Every man wanted to exhibit the cause of his wound Their thoughts were all about recovering, rejoining their regiments and getting a chance to pay back the enemy in his own coin"
