Continuous Cropping.
What happens when land is cropped

physical condition of the soil, IN
creased growth of weeds, mixtures ot

fairly good physical condition OF the
soil are maintained by the addition oi
chemicals, continuous cropping is no
advisable ON account OF its cost ant
the further reasons mentioned.
Wheat should be grown only in rota
ton with legumes and cultivated crops
: Local conditions should determine IN
rotation and the particular crop to b.
used. Wherever possible wheat shoul'
follow some legume crop, such as COW

obtained after these crops than afte

owing to the fact that less than a
dozen such voyages have been made
and it is possible that all the vessels
that escaped succeeded in avoiding
the submarines entirely.
1t has been suggested that Ger.
many probably issued instructions
to her commanders not to sink Amer.
ican ships without every precaution
for those on board, as last hope of
keeping America out of the war.
The ruthless destruction of pas.
senger liners like the California and
the Laconia. however. is felt here to
render this belief improbable.
The effect of Americas action up
on other neutral nations will be
awaited with keen interest. Vessels
of those countries, too, have been
holding to port through terror Of the
German menace.
The throttling of neutral shipping
both British and German experts
have stated to be the most serious
result of the German campaign to

the actual amount of tonnage de-
stroyed, Several German authori-
ties have indicated that so long as
they cjuld er orize neutral vessels

Armed neutrality will be the status
of the United States the moment the
first merchant ship under the Amer
lean flag puts 10 sea with cannon
mounted for defense.
President Wilson made this clear
in his address TO Congress Fe:r2arG

to arm merchant siips for GefeEse

order ed today upon his own respon-
sibilily.

against the attacks or inroads by
belligerents.
This state of preparedness may
last an indefinite length of time,
through good fortune in avoiding
contact with belligerent forces afioat
or ashore, or through the design Of
the belligerent to confne its. decla-
ration of purpose to infringe the
neutrality of a country to mere
threats unsupported by action.
On the other hand the status of
armed neutrality may change into
one of actual hostility through col
lision-such as submarine attack
on an armed merchantmen.
President Wilson has said that it
may not be necessary TO put armed
forces anywhere into action. Ali will
depend upon the future attitude Of
Germany and the treatment of
American ships by German submarine
commanders.
In his address to Congress, the
President said:
Il am not now proposing or con-
templatiug war or any steps that
lead to it. l merely request that
you will accord me by your own

gress and authorized publication of

tary Tumulty standing at his bed.
side.
A severe cold has kept him from
seeing callers for three days and he
was put to bed by his physician yes
terday.
In deciding that he has power to
arm merchantmen. the President
took the position that an old statute
passed in 1918. citeG in the Senate
debate as prohibiting such step with
out congressional action, has no ap-
plication to the present situation.
He is we'll satisfied that the na-
ton stands behind him and accepts
the overwhelming vote in the House
on the armed neutrality bill and the
opinion of large majority of the
Senate. as proof of the attitude of
Congress.
Although the bill which failed of
passage in the Senate provided for
a bond issue of S1O0,000.000 to pay
the expenses of armed neutrality,
the government has sufficient money
available for its immediate purposes.
Congress will be asked to provide
more when the extra session con-
venes.
Under bill passed during the last
days of the last Congress. the funds
at the disposal of the federal war
risk bureau to insure American ships
was increased to S15,000,000.
Armed neutrality isexpected to re-
move the practical blockade of
American ports and place the issue
of eventual war squarely upon Ger
many. An attack upon an armed
American vessel will precipitate a
fight if the ship gets sight Of the
submarine and an unwarned attack
will be regarded by the United
States as an act of war.
Germany and Austria both have
declared armed merchantmen war
vessels.
These declarations w,.rs bas';i
largely on the charge that British
merchant ships used their ART Liz = :
Extensively and it remains to be seen
whether Germany will so class and
treat American craft with defense
arms.
The whole of German press COM
ment and unofficial utterances since
the question was raised in this coun-
try has indicated the conviction that
any armed vessel should be consider
ed hostile and sunk in the same way
as belligerent war vessel. There
has been no official expression on the
subject.

AMERICAN SHIPS
TO Be ARMED.
VIGOROUS ACTION BY PRESID-
ENT..CONGRESS CALLED IN
EXTRA SESSION.


Wilson, from a sick bed. today or.
dered the arming of American mer'
chant ships against Germany's ruth
less submarine warfare and at the
same time issued a proclamation
calling an extra session of Congress
to meet April 16.
The Presidents decision came sud.
denly late this afternoon, following
the action of the Senate yesterday
in revising its rules to permit prompt
action on important questions and
the submission of formal opinions by
Secretary Lansing and Attorney
General Gregory that he has the
power to arm merchantmen with
out action by Congress.
Details of the governments arm.
ed neutrality plans for defending
the merchant marine were withheld
to avoid endangering Americans and
their ships by permitting the infor.
nation to reach Germany.
The only statement at the White
House and the navy department was
that the President had determined
to fully protect American rights.
The decision, coming at the end of
a period of tense waiting, was gen.
orally hailed as the natural and un-
avoidable next step in the policy
adopted by the President when he
broke off diplomatic relations with
Germany, and gave warning that
the United States could not tolerate
attacks on American ships and citi.
zens in violation of international
law.
Fraught with the grave possibili.
ty of war with Germany, the action
was taken by President Wilson only
after he was convinced that Ger
many actually was proceeding with
her campaign of ruthlessness and
had made efforts to plot with Mex
leo and Japan against the territorial
of the United States.
Long before the order was given
from the White House, all necessary
preparations for the arming of mer.
chantmen had been completed at the
navy department.
The Presidents decision sent a
thrill through the Senate, meeting in
special session, and in government
departments. Still hoping that war
with Germany will be avoided. Of
ficials and Senators declared that
the issue rests entirely with Ger
mauy.
Forma! announcement of the gov
ernment's policy was given in the
following announcement issued from
the White House.
Secretary Tumulty stated in con-
nection with the Presidents call for
an extra session of Congress that
the President is convinced that he
has the power to arm American
merchant ships and he is free to ex.
ercise it at once. But so much nec-
essary legislation is pressing for con-
sideration that he is convinced that
it is for the best interests of the
country to have an early session of
the Sixty fifth Congress, whose sup
port he will also need in all matters
collateral to the defense of our mer-
chant marine"
The names of the ships which will
be armed will not be made public by
the government and are not expect
ed to be published in the newspapers.
The Presidents proclamation call
ing the extra session of Congress
follows:
Whereas, public interests require
that the Congress of the United
States should be convened in extra
session at IL o'clock, noon, on the
18th day of April, 1917, to receive
