Get Something on Stubble Land

Somebody has to raise everything
our soldiers eat. Do your bit and get
something on stubble land. Produce
more food and more forage for meat
production. Cowpeas, peanuts, sor-
ghum and sweet potatoes can still
be planted. The yields of forage
from these late planted crops are good
even though lighter than can usually
be expected from the earlier plant
ings. A combination of sorghum and
cowpeas, seeded with a grain drill
will probably produce as large yield
CT forage as anything. Corn planted
in rows five or six feet apart with
cowpeas, soybeans, or peanuts drilled
through the middle is good prac-
tee where grain is desired and the
forage can be pastred Planting cow
peas or soybeans in the row with corn
makes an excellent combination for

Good Morning; Have
You Been Beaten Up
By a Conductor Yet?

1t is the exception rather than the rule
now for day to pass in which few
street car conductors or motormen, or
both, are not accused of having bratally
assaulted passengers.
Several cases against members Of street
car crews who used controllers, door
levers or some other deadly weapon on
passengers are now pending in the po-
lice court.
Travel in Detroit has become unsafe
for the passenger.
If he escapes an accident he is by no
means out of danger until he mas success
fully passed the conductor on his way
out.
Even once on the street it behooves
him to glance back over his shoulder lest
a savage conductor pursue him with a
crow-bar
Even when no physical violence is used,
travel has become irksome because of the
belligerent attitude Of many conductors.
They usually hold a wordy war with
one or more passengers. much to the an
noyance and disgust of peace loving per-
sons.
While it is not to be expected that the
railway company can invariably select
Lord Chesterfields and Ward McAllisters
for duty on the cars. il could at least
insist that car crews desist from quar-
reling with passengers, unless absolutely
in self-defense. as is done in other
cities
In most cities a conductor or motor
man is fired on the spot if he engages in
a fight with a passenger. on the ground
that it takes two TO make quarrel and
that the employe could keep out Of
fights If he tried very hard
Scarcity of labor in Detroit has prob
ably made it necessary for the railway
company to hire some undesrables @
run its cars, but the company should re.
strain these.
