NORWAY PROTESTS
SINKING OF SHIP

COPENHAGEN. Nov. 2.--The Nor
wcgian minister at Berlin today
handed the Berlin minister of foreign
affairs the following note.
according to the information so
far received, it must be regarded as
authenticated that certain ships of
the German navy in the North sea on
October II, after sinking escorting
British vessels, sank also number
Of neutral merchant ships. among
which were several Norwegian ships,
without taking any steps either to at
tempt to save the crews or give them
time to save themselves. The con-
duct on the part of the German war
ships was the cause Of a great num-
Der of Norwegian sailors being killed
or wounded BY she'll fire or losing
their lives BY drowning.
"The Norwegian government will
not again state its views. as it al
ready has done so, to the violation
OF the principle Of the freedom Of the
seas incurred by the proclamation Of
large tracts Of the ocean as war
zone and by the sinking of neutral
merchant ships not carrying contra
hand"

LONDON, Nov. 2.--The Daily

quarters in dispatch dated Wednes-
day, says:
General Cadornp's candid admis-
sion ot the failure OF the section OF
his army gives a clue to the real
causes Of the enemy's advance. On
the other hand, in most cases, really
desperate resistance was made.
The men on the Bainsizza plateau
who had suffered worst from the
Smelling nevertheless brought up ma
chime guns, held off the attacking
forces for an hour and made several
hundred prisoners. The resistance
on Monte Nero was especially des-
perate.
, While the fifth Bersagieri brig
ade held the Globack ridge many
hours, other troops defending the dl-
rect entrance TO the pass into Italy
at st. Lucia fought desperately, the
village OF st. Lucia being taken and
retaken ut least eight times.

Monte Nero, never gave way before

PETR0GRAD. Nov. z.-In view Of
reports reaching Petrograd that the
impression was spreading abroad
that Russia was virtually out Of the
war. Premier Kerensky discussed
the present condition of the country
frankly with the Associated Press.
He said that Russia was worn out By
the long strain but that It was ridicu-
lous to say that the country was out

The premier referred to the years
in which Russia had fought her own
campaigns alone. with no assistance
such as has been extended to France
by Great Britain and now by America.
He said he felt help was needed ur-
gently and that Russia asked II a.
her right. He urged that the United
States give aid in the form Of money
and supplies and appealed to the
world not TO lose faith in the Rus
sian revolution.

Thus Premier Kerensky explained
Russia's position to the correspond
ent. The premier was seated in the
library OF the former private office
of the emperor in the winter palace.

The safe retirement to the Taglia-
mento was due to the unexampled
heroism Of large bodies OF Italians
of such spirit as the Alpini on Monte
Nero, who refused to surrender, and
the regiments OF Bersaglieri at Monte
Maggiore, which perished to the last
man rather than yield ground. II
was because Of such resistance In
the face OF overwhelming forces Of
enemy artillery and infantry that the
civil population was able to retire.
II was owing to the valor OF Italian
ayiators. combating the Austro- Ger
man army Of the air that fleeing wo-

crowded the roads we're not struck

The spirit OF the army now con-
fronting the enemy is excellent. The

Lespedeza, or Japanese clover, is a plant which grows wild over most of pasture. and, in some places, for it's pacture, and, in some places, for it's hay. It makes Its growth during the summer time and dies with the first frost, coming again the next year. not from the root but from seed which drop in the fall Although it is ordi- narily found growing wild along the roadsides and in waste places, yet seed can be obtained and it can be planted as any other farm crop and thus get crop when 1t is desired Lespedeza should be found on every Ar kansas farm for hay or pasture, or both says A. D. McNair with the Bureau of Farm Management co-ope- rating with the Extension Division of the University of Arkansas.
 Time to Plant. Lespedeza should be sowed in late winter or early spring, say the latter part of February or early in March and if intended for a hay crop may be sowed on top of oats or wheat land where 1t will ger minate and grow without further at- tention. It is low growing plant and yet it grows so thick that it often makes large yields of hay Where the stand is thick the yield is usually estimated to be one ton per acre for each six inches in height; hence Les pedeza which is but little taller than a shot tep will frequently make a fair yield of hay. It may be sowed for pasture on any kind of land, but for hay it is most successful on creek bottom lands, post oak flats or on the silt loam soils adjacent to Crowley's Ridge and Bayou Mason Ridge. It does better on the stiff silty soils than on any sandy soils, though a good strong, sandy loam will produce a good crop of hay Moisture Is more i'm. portant than the character of the soil for it is a humid weather plant and will make an axoalIAnt 4..,o,,.

Better Care Necessary-5rIngs
 Returns.

It is true that the cattle tick is large ly responsible for the number and quality of our native cows; however, the indifferent care which the cows have received is, perhaps, responsible even to larger extent. Dairying has been too much on the summer pasture basis too long in Arkansas. Most of our COWS are freshened in the spring and turned on to the pasture during the summer to make a living and give what little milk they can produce un- der these conditions Many of these COWS go dry by fall and are then roughed through the winter on little or no feed The best COW in the world cannot produce milk with such care.
 There is no other animal on the farm that is so hard and so willing worker as the dairy COW, provided she Is supplied the raw material to work with. Considering what the Arkan- sas farmer puts into his COWS in the way of feed and care, they are return ing to him a greater return than any other farm animal in spite of the low production Give the Arkansas farm milk COW a chance and she will work day and night, winter and summer and produce generously the best food for your family.

 To Only $15.

With less than three milk cows to every farm and the average product per COW worth only St5.47 for year, Arkansas Is far behind other states in the production of dairy products. The natural advantages for making pas lures, hay and grain are tremendous, and the Arkansas farmer can we'll afford to pay more attention to the milk COW, is the opinion of H. E. DYoraehek, Professor of Animal Hus- bandry with the University of Arkan- sas, who says that a good dairy COW in many states is expected to bring in a gross income of at least S75.00 to $100.00 a year.

IRISH POTATO Is
 GOOD MONEY CROP
Preeent Yield Is Entirely Too Low Caused By Insects and improper
 Selection of seed.
By w. II. Wicks. College of Agricul-
 ture. Fayetteville. Ark.

According to the last annual census there were grown in Arkansas 1900. GOO bushels of Irish potatoes which were produced approximately on to- tai of 25,000 acres or at the rate of sixty bushels per acre. This yield is entirely too low and Is due to such causes as improper selection of seed, planting diseased stock, improper cul- tivation and use of fertilizers, lack of fighting insect and disease pests, poor grading and unsuccessful marketing.
 Arkansas farmers can well afford to give the Irish potato serious con- sideration in making plans for the year because it is attracting more at tention in the Southern States each year as a money making crop for the early market. Assuming that one third of the entire yield of potatoes in 1914 for Arkansas were culls, and allowing so cents per busheI for the remainder of first-class marketable po- tatoes, the potato industry was worth to the State of Arkansas in 1914 the sum of sSO0.000
 The States of New York, Maine and Wisconsin, for example, have become widely known through their potato production. Southern states occupy an entirely different field in the pro. duction of Irish potatoes and We should turn our attention to the pro- duction of early potatoes for market which are good early in the year when competition from the Northern potato growing sections will not be expeT- fenced. All varieties are now classi fed according to the following classi- icaion by Professor Wm. Stuart. Hor- ticulturist, U. s, Department of Agri- culture:
