VXTASHINGTON, March o.
Wv Attorney General Grego-
ry, after several days Of consid-
Grafton and investigation yester-
day informed President Wilson
that he had the right to begin
with the arming of american
merchant ships at once, in order
to protect them against the at
tacks of German submarines.
The law, declares the Attorney
General, gives to the President
the right which the hlibuster in
the senate withheld from him,

the merchant craft can begin I'M
mediately if the President 50 de-
sires.
The pressure of the grow
ing public sentiment throughout
the nation that some move to re-
lieve the international situation Is
being strongly felt in the capital,
although the continued drop in the
number of vessels submarined to-
gether with the departure Of many
ships from American ports in the
/ last few days has done much to
ease the situation.
Some indication of the feeling
| that was aroused by the 6libuster
in the senate against the EARNED
neutrality" bill, which would have
given the President the right tc
arm merchant vessels against tho
murderous attacks of the German
submarines is to be seen in tn.

Stone who had encouraged thu

the senate, had been forced to re

Sow Beans.

This is the time of year to order
your soy bean seed if you have not
already done so. The soy bean is a
comparatively new crop in this part
of the country, but it IS well worth
considering with the ordinary price
of feed. A few suggestions for use
with this plant.
/. Variety, use the Medium Green.
2 Quantity, use about four quarts
of the beans and eight to ten quarts
of corn per acre.
8. Planting, mix the beans with
the corn in the planter and drill as
for corn. Mix up the seed occasion
ally in the planter box as the soy
bean seeds being the heavier are
liable to settle to the bottom.
Soy beans grown in with your en-
silage corn adds more of that valu-
able protein TO the ration. In some
tests which have been run in this

Notes
H. F. johnson, County Ager

This is the first opportunity which
the new county agent has had to pre-
sent ANYTHING through the press TO
the farmers of Orleans county. He
has been in the county less than a
month and with the kind Of travelling
which has been prevalent, II has been
almost impossible TO get about. or
visit many of the farmers. HOwey-
er, as soon as Is possible after set
tied going series OF meetings VIII
be held, the exact date of each meet
ing TO be announced later through the
papers. Tt is hoped that as many
farmers as possible viii endeavor to
attend these meetings. The work
which the association has done IN the
past viii be taken up and plans for
the future viii be discussed. Watch
for the notice in the paper of the
meeting in your town and put a cir
Gle around the date on the calendar.
Secretary of Agriculture Houston
on March 9th issued a statement
relative to the elimination Of food
crop wastes by improving methods.
He urges the American farmer, both
for economic and patriotic reasons to
strive for the highest standard of ef-
hciency In the production and con-
servation of food; TO endeavor to Sc
cure maximum returns from seed by
ID testing seed for termination, (2)
treating with disinfeetants all seed
subject to diseases that can be pre-
vented, (3) caring carefully both at
planting time and through the season
for these highly important crops.
Special attention is called to the
treating of seed potatoes and the
spraying of potatoes for bugs and
blight during the growing season.
A QUESTIONABLE was sent out the
first part of the month to all the
tanners in the county. Our mailing
list is not as accurate as we would
like to have it and possibly some far
mers did not receive this. If you did
not receive one, notify the county
agent and he viii forward you a copy
promptly. IF you have not filled out
the one sent you, viii you not do 50
at once? The questions asked are
pertinent TO your farm business and
the answers received viii largely de-
termine the type of work we shall
push hardest this year. Your coop
Grafton is needed. The county agent
can do little alone-he can do much
with all the farmers in the county CO.
operating to make this the biggest
year ever for Orleans county.

Grow More and Better Feed.

Orleans county is a dairy county
and one of the very vital questions
which is of interest to the farmers is
the question of feed for the live stock.
With prices for all kinds of grains
soaring above $40 ton we viii do
well to question, "Am / growing feed
that viii give me the most for my
time and money invested ?"
Questions to think about along the
feed line:
1. Did my silage corn mature last
year before harvesting?
2. IF not shall / plant the same
variety this year?
5. How much good clover hay did
cut last year?
l. Shall I try to get milk out of
timothy hay another winter?
s. Have / tried growing alfalfa
or soy beans? If not, why not?
Quality of roughage for our live
stock is a most important question
with US here. Think this over and
figure how you can improve the quail
ity of your roughage this year.

Is impossible to go into the details OF

things mentioned and he viii see that

Home Mixing of Chemicals.

The outfit for mixing consists of a
tight barn floor, or wagon body, one
iron hoe or rake, and q sand screen
with three meShes to the inch.
If the nitrate of soda is caked or
lumpy, spread It on the barn floor,
moisten the Jumps very slightly and
let them stand over night. The Jumps
viii fall apart upon raking the next
morning. Note that you should be
very careful TO moisten ONLY
SLIGHTLY.
Place the bulHest materials on the
bottom of the pile and the heaviest on
top. The others in the same order.
Mix carefully by use of shovel or
rake the same as you would IN mixing

pile so that some of each ingredient is
in each Shovelful. The whole nile
should be mixed over three or four
times, even more If the mixture does
not look evenly mixed

Demonstration Work.

Demonstrations in the growing of
various crops viii be carried on
throughout the county this year the
same as last. A great many people
have the idea that the county agent
is experimenting" when he lays out
q demonstration, but such is not the
case An experiment" is simply an
effort designed to discover unknown
principles or facts. while a demon
Stration shows. by example, the prac-
teal application of an established
fact. Those farmers last year that
attended the oat smut demonstration
were shown how to treat their seed
oats before planting and later In the
season saw how thoroughly the smut
was controlled due to the treatment.
A number of farmers viii be need
ed this spring and summer to carry
on demonstrations. Some viii be on
the growing OF soy beans with ensi1-
age corn, some the raising of alfalfa,
some the selection and spraying of
potatoes, some on corn varieties, etc.
If you are particularly interested IN
any of these things or, perhaps, some
other lines not mentioned here, write
or call the county agent and 1t may
be possible to arrange for a demon
StratiOn on your farm. IF it is not
possible to place q demonstration,

Der of men do this year The larger

mer. A man who cooperates with the

To the Farmers of Orleans County


Dear Sirs:
War has been declared between the

question uppermOst i'm the minds or

will the farmers respond to their
country's need?" There should and
will be but one answer here IN Or
leans county-~Better production; IN
creased production" At q recent con-
ference held in Boston, Commissioner
Brigham showed that New England
must produce three or four times as
much as at present in order TO ever
feed her own population. 1t Is up
to- the farmers of Orleans county as
never before to be efficient In their
production; to use to the best OF their
ability the resources at hand

ty respond to the call? How will
you meet the question?

ductiOn in Orleans county,
