was made in prairie schooners,. and
a number of the party died before the
plains were crossed. Several remained
in the far West, some of them win

IFATTENS men IN
NEUTRAL LANDS
Kaiser Sends Conscripts Abroad
Before Entering Into Ac-
tive Service.
CUT DOWN RATIONS AT HOME
Germans Take Food From Invaded
Territory and Export it to Scan-
dinavia to Keep Up Pretense
of Shipping Food.

London.-New information of high
ly interesting character concerning
German food supplies has been obtain
ed. Submarine crews are now the best
fed of any of the fighting men in the
whole German service. This has been
I ordered to attract men to it.
At the same time it is Germany's
] intention to do most of its submarine
recruiting among the men of its mer-
chant marine service because of the
high mortality in the undersea work
and the necessity Of saving the regular
naval officers and men for the high
seas fleet.
Food Camoufage.
In order to send 5 per cent of Ger
many's foodstuffs to Denmark and
Sweden, this amount, it is stated, is
being withdrawn from persons in occu
pied territories. 1t is considered vital
ly necessary as propaganda that Ger
many should be able to make a pre-
tense of sending food outside.
To help counterbalance this expor-
tation, it is known that in recent
months Germany has been sending a
considerable number of cOnScriptS into
neutral countries to fatten up, prelim-
mary to active service.
The shortage in food in many big
manufacturing centers has led to the
return home of many highly skilled
Dutch and Scandinavian wOrkmen, de-
spite high wages offered. Others pc
riodically go home to put in few
weeks on better rations, returning
again to obtain the higher wages.
The latest food statistics from Ger
many, which cover period from Au-
gust to the present time, indicate that
new flour was placed in market in
Berlin during August, whereas year
ago it wasn't done until November
This was imperative because of the
shortness of the potato crop in some
sections. Seven pounds weekly is the
flour ration now, as compared with
ten and a half pounds last year.
There has been a heavy increase
in the price of condensed milk through
out Germany since August.
Causing Night Blindness.
The dearth of fodder is the most
dangerous aspect of the food situa-
ton because Germany is trying to
maintain large amount of live stock.
The ration has now been reduced from
$50 grams to 200 and $50.
Germany's leading medical men are
now more frank than ever before in
statements that malnutrition, if con-
tinued long, will mean the elimination
Of the weakest and explain that night
blindness is the disease now spreading
In the fatherland just as 1t did In |
the wake of the famine in early pc, |
RODS of history.
Neutral doctors testify to the in
crease in cases of perforation Of the |
intestines as a result of the lack Of
food. A report just issued by insur-
ance companies declares malnutrition !
Is exceeded only by military service as
the cause of the greatest number Of
deaths.

KHAKI BIBLES
ARE POPULAR
LEDING MEN OF THE NATION GIVE
MOVEMENT HEARTY
APPROVAL

President Wilson, Governor Whit
man of New York, and Theodore
Roosevelt are among the prominent
citizens, who have approved the plan
of having American Bible Week, for
the purpose of raising 100000 to
equip Uncle Sans soldiers and sailors
with khaki-bound New Testaments.
According to a statement just is
sued by the American Bible society,
which is responsible for the cam
paign, President Woodrow Wilson, has
approved the effort in the following
letter:
What President Wilson Says
Il am glad to have an opportunity
to endorse the effort of the American
Bible society to procure fund of
100000 to cover the expenses of sup
plying the men in the army and navy
with Bibles. This is an object which
I am sure all Christian people will
wish to see accomplished. 1 hope that
it may be, for the sake of the men
who are going to the front. They will
need the support of the only book
from which they can get it."
Governor Charles Whitman, of New
York, in endorsing the effort, makes
very interesting comment:
IF any of our men are taken pris-
oners," he says, cit is possible that
the only reading, matter which they
will have for weeks, and perhaps
months, will be this little service
Testament"
Helps Morale of Army
Military leaders are reported to con-
firm the society's belief that this mes
sage, translated into life, will do much
toward building up and sustaining
army morale, and toward promoting
that spirit necessary to victory. In
this connection the, society quotes a
letter recently sent to an American
soldier by General Pershing:
"Hardships will be your lot, tempt
ations will befall you. But the teach
ings of our Saviour will give you
Teddy Roosevelt Endorses
Theodore Roosevelt has given the
hearty endorsement, saying,
Il very earnestly hope that the good |
people of the nUited States will fur
nish you with the means to do this |
work Every soldier and sailor of the
United States should have a Tesla
ment. The American Bible society is |
the organization through which the
work can be done in the best shape"

danger is likely to be ii late Jul,
and early August.

danger is likely to be IN late July
and early August.
The best time to cultivate is just
after heavy rains as soon as the drier
parts Of the field will crumble.
Later civilizations, which should
number at least four, depending up
on the condition of the soil and the
weather, should be shallower so as to
form mulch and not injure the
roots. The cultivator teeth should
be narrowed as the potato vines
grow and spread. The shade from
them checks the growth of the weeds
and evaporation is less. When the
plants have fairly covered the soil,
the weeds have been killed, and the
roots have spread through the soil,
then cultivation should cease, espec-
tally if late in the season.
A slight ridge may be made at the
first cultivation, or just after the
plants have come up to cover and
kill the weeds, and should be broad
and flat. The flanges of the one
horse cultivator may be set to do
this, while the same effect can be
gained by taking the wings off the
wheel cultivator. 1t does not iniure
the potato plants, and in some ca
ses, if the plants can be covered,
they will be protected from frost
for several days. Care should be
taken that there is no baking over
the little plants.
In wet, cold soils and where drain
age is needed, plants are ridged just
after coming up and at each subse-
quent cultivation, but in this case
the seed pieces are planted very
shallow while with level culture they
are planted four or five inches deep.
When ridging is done late in the sea-
son it is almost impossible to avoid
cutting the lateral surface roots
| which have vertical roots extendint
downward, thus causing a great deal
of loss to the plant just when it
most needs the root system.
The critical period in the life of
the potato plant is when it is be.
ginning to blossom and set tubers
Any injury to the plant or root sys-
tenn at this time reduces the yield
very materially. In Minnesota this
critical period comes at a time when
climatic conditions are usually un.
favorable. The effects of the heat
and drought of late July and early
August are very noticeable. 1t is
therefore, very essential that the
previous care should have been such
that the crop can pass this critical
period in the best condition.
The control of insects and diseases
by spraying to bring the plants into
perfect condition for the setting and
growth of tubers is very essential
and is discussed in Bulletin No. 15S
of the Minnesota Experiment Station

KILL THE WEEDS.

National c-op improvement seryce.1
Spring blowing, or diskine as soon
as the weed see@s have germlnated. "a
usually a profitable practice. Where
small grain is to be sown, the sowing
should be done soon after blowing:
but where corn, potatoes, or the
sorghums are to be grown, there is
often a period of several weeks be-
tween the time of the termination of
the weed seeds and the time when the
season is sufficiently advanced to
plant the crop. This period should be
utilized as far as possible for the de-
scruction of weeds before the crop Is
planted. Much labor in keeping the
crop free from weeds during it's grow
ing period can thus be saved."-
