LET GEORGIA DOUBLE
HER WHEAT ACREAGE

IN accord with the war agricurrurn
i program recently announced by United
States and State Agricultural officials,
the farmers of Georgia are urged to
double their wheat acreage over the
amount sowed last fall. With the ex-
ception of some of the sandy soils of
the southern part of the state wheat
can be raised to advantage on most
farms in the State, and wherever wheat
can be grown farmers are urged to
seed an area sufficient to safeguard
their own food supply.
Wheat is best adapted to the loan,
clay loan and heavier types of sandy
loan soil where a firm but friable
seed bed can be prepared
Wheat makes its best yields follow
ing some legume crop, but it can also
be sown to advantage after cotton and
corn Where wheat follows cotton the
stalks should be turned under as soon
as the cotton is all picked A roller
can then be used to compact the seed
bed and the seed put in with a disk
drill. Where wheat is to follow a
clean cultivated crop good seed bed
can be prepared by the use of a disk
harrow.
Wheat should be sown early enough
to allow the plants to get well start
ed before winter. If the Hessian fly
is present, seeding should be delayed
until about the time for the first frost.
Late seeding should be avoided, how
ever.
From tests conducted in different
sections of the state the following va
rieties are recommended; Fulcaster,
Dietz Mediterranean, Leap Prolific,
Georgia Red (also known as Bluestem
Purple Straw and Red May.
The principles to be followed in
sowing fall wheat may be summed up
as follows: Cd Pillow early and give
the land time to settle before sowing,
If possible. (2) Use roller and har-
row to compact the late plowed land.
10 Where wheat is to follow a cult
waited crop that is removed from the
land, prepare the seed bed with a disk
harrow (4) Make a good seed bed
The Increased yield will pay for the
trouble 60 Use grain drill, using
sound, plump, clean seed of one of
the varieties recommended. CO. Make
the soil fertile with manure or fertiliz-
ers applied judiciously where needed.
% Use formaldehyde to prevent
losses from smut

DR.. van Dyke Home;
Says Allies Will Win
With u. S. Aid

Dr. Henry van Dyke, author and for
merly United States Minister to the
Netherlands and the Duchy of Luxem-
burg, who resigned his post on Decem-
Der, 4, 1916, arrived yesterday. He
told of the present needs of the bellig-
erent nations and the urgent help re-
quired from the United States.
II resigned my post with two mo-
tives," said DR.. van Dyke. GAS a dip
lomat | could not express my ideas re-
garding the present war, and in addi-
ton / wished to return to my literary
work at Princeton, from which l had
been separated for the last four years
at was very difficult for a neutral
diplomat to remain neutral even in a
country not at war. The longer I re-
manned the more my heart went out to
the cause of the Allies and the splendid
battle they are wag,ng for civilization.
II cannot say how glad / am that
America has entered the war on the
side of the Allies and will send them
prompt assistance. Any force, even
though it be small at first, will have q
great moral effect, and the presence Of
United States troops will spur the AL
lied armies on to even greater deeds.
"From my personal observations
along the Western front feel conf
dent in saying that the final victory
will be won on the battlefront stretch
ing from the English Channel to the
Alps, and nowhere else. 1t is there
that the greatest deeds have been ac-
complished and the greatest sacrifices
made
DR.. van Dyke told of how he had
suffered a severe illness as result OF
exposure in the Verdun trenches,
whittier he had been taken to observe
a portion of the French offensive.
II had originally planned to sail on
the first voyage of the first armed
American liner, in March, but the week
previous | had gone to Verdun, and in
walking through the first line trenches
I contracted a severe attack of infiu-
enza. ! returned to England and spent
the next few weeks in the hospital"
DR.. van Dyke was asked regarding
his future plans now that America had
declared war.
81 am ready" he said, "to fill any
post to which the government calls
me. Every patriotic American must
stand ready to accept his country's
call and give his all for his native
land. That is what the Allies are
doing on the other side. and we must
do the same TO attain the final VIC
tory"
DR.. Van Dyke was accompanied by
his son. Tertius. and his secretary. He
was met by his two daughters. the
Misses Elaine and Katina van Dyke.

Staten Islanders Ask
Two-Cent Ferry Ride
Governor Indicates Opposi-
ton to Bill and Plea for
Joint Fares

Albany, May "a delegation of Sta
ten Islanders headed by Senator Crom-
well urged Governor Whitman to-day
to sign the bill reducing the fare on
the Staten Island ferries to cents, and
to establish joint fares between NUM-
cipally owned ferries and connecting
surface, subway and elevated lines.
In answer to the arguments OF the
opponents of the bill that the ferries
were being run at loss, they declared
that the cities should support these fer
ries the same >as it does any highway
between the various boroughs. Sena-
tor Cromwell charged that Mayor
Mitchell was the Kaiser of New York
and that Staten Island was his Bel
GUM.
The Governor, however, indicated a
disposition to oppose the bills. He
said ii was up to the city to decide the
fare Question and was strongly i'm
pressed by the declartion of George w.
Morgan. representing the lnterborough,
that the joint fare provision was vio-
lation of the city's contract with that
railroad.

Jewish Teachers !
Strike Affects
100000 Children
Religious instructors Ask
$2Oa Week and Improved
Working Conditions

By far the greater part Of the teach
ers in Jewish religious schools, both
the Talmud-Torahs and the Zionist
schools, went on strike yesterday, and
fully 100 900 Jewish children got no in
struction in the ancient history of their
Church. IL is probable that the strike
will spread to other cities.
The teachers seek minimum wage
of 500 a week and better working con-
ditions. They point out that their sal
aries, in many instances, are lower than
the wages OF laborers, and that their
classrooms are frequently in the dim.
damp Easements of synagogues. Most
Of them are men with many dependents,
and they declare that there will be no
more instruction until conditions are
improved.
The increased cost Of necessities and
the accommodating burden OF long hours
Of instruction and poor pay formed the
cause of the strike. but the hour also
was propitious. When the teachers
union was formed such a strike would
have been a long and doubtful struggle.
New teachers would have been arriving
on almost every ship. But now there
is no influx of teachers.
The union has absorbed probably
1000 of the 1,200 or 1900 teachers in
New York. It's members are steadfast
in their purpose. There is no reserve
supply for the synagogues TO draw
upon. II the racial and religious GUS
toms arc to be preserved and the youth
instructed as it has been for centuries
the demands Of the strikers must be
met.
A. Fleischman is president of the
union, whose headquarters is in New
York. 1t was established four years
ago and has branches throughout the
United States.
The schools ordinarily are open
daily, except Friday and Saturday, the
period of instruction being from four
to five hours. There are often forty or
fifty pupils in class, and even before
the strike the supply of teachers was
so short that every teacher had secerai
alasses,

Sufragists' Sale
OF Treasures Adds
$4,000 to War Fund
Crowds That Tax Police
Buy Rummage Bargains
in Jewels and Gowns

Sufragists who have parted with
their treasures OF gold and jewels and
faded silk gowns had the pleasure yes
terday of seeing their contributions
swell the war chest to the extent of
$4,000, or more, for the first day Of
the rummage sale de luxe.
Twice during the day the police had
to close the doors of the salesrooms, at
II and 10 East Fifty-ninth Street, to
keep out the crowds that wanted to
take advantage of the bargains in Mrs.
Warehouses; jewels And Mrs. John
Blair's antique furniture.
Mrs. Philip Lydig presided over the
jewel counter, where suffragists have
piled up several thousand dollars
worth of Christmas presents, discard
ed wrist watches and old-fashioned
brooches. Beside her stood Mrs. Lydig
Hoyt, and the two did most successful
work in selling to their fashionable
| friends.
| The sale is for the benefit of the suf-
frage war service fund. Twelve thou
sand dollars has already been contrib
uted by this committee for the support
of the Young Mems Christian Associa-
tion tent at Plattsburg, and the proceeds
of this sale will go toward another s10,-
900 for similar work at Fort Niagara.
Mrs. Il. K. Strange is chairman of
the sales committee. The sale will last
until Friday, if the goods hold out that
long. Tomorrow there will be a suf-
frage melting pot, presided over by the
children of the cause, headed by Alice
Whitehouse and Bruton Strange.

RAISE YOUR BIT!
By Richardson Wright.
Editor Of House and Garden

The man in the parable went forth
to sow. Some Of his land was fertile,
other parts not so much, some not at
all. He sowed the same seed in all
the soils. Had he selected the seeds
according to the soils into which they
were going to fall, it would have been
a different story. And so would the
stories of a great many gardens. We
must choose the right seed for the
right soil. On the creation of the right
sorts of seeds the government and
many horticulturists have expended the
energies and brains of countless ex-
perts. Avail yourself of their results
by studying the limitations of your
soil, buying seed accordingly. This is
not year for experimenting with
fancy varieties. Buy the dependable
sorts and buy only as much seed as
you actually need.
II your garden is 20 he permanent
investment you could do much worse
than include in 1T an asparagus bed.
Once established and properly cared
for. these plants will bear for years
without replanting. and when gathered
at the right time their succulent stalks
hold a place as a table vegetable which
few others can equal One-year-old
plants can be bought, and If these are
set in a trench Is inches deep. in which
are 3 or inches Of well rotted manure,
covered with the same depth of good
garden soil. they will yield a small
first crop in two years. When setting
the plants spread their roots out we'll
and let the crowns be about 2 feet
apart and inches below the top of
the trench. Then fill in level with soil
and frm the whole thing down with
your feet. Fifty or seventy-hve plants
will provide plenty Of stalks for an
average good sized family.

High Cost Of Living
Boosted at Benefit
For Women S League
Marie Dressler Has Greenwich
Villagers Paying S. Apiece
for Carrots

Miss Marie Dressler took hand in
boosting the high cost of living yes
terday afternoon IN Washington Square.
Before she got through she had the
astonished Greenwich villagers paying
s. apiece for carrots and 81 for tur-
nips, and thinking it was great lark.
OF course, the artists were only too
willing TO pay few overhead charges
for the fine futuristic effects of the
scene. Miss Dressler was an effect all
by herself with her purple and yellow
garden apron and a bunch Of purple
primroses stuck rakishly on the peak of
her hat.
Then there were the orange colored
tents under which the real business of
making money for the National League
for Women's Service went on, and girls
in red, white and blue costumes and
blue and yellow balloons and the piles
of radishes and tomatoes.
If Greenwich Villagers don't sit up
all night writing poety about that riot
of the Allies national colors they will
have the nightmare dreaming of the
prices they paid-or else they are not
truly temperamental personages at all.
Mrs. John Purroy Mitchell opened the
garden party and market for the league
by marching down the walk with bas-
ket full of carrots and green peas I'M
der her arm. Then she took turn at
one-stepping under the orange-colored
awning, and did most of the other
stunts of the occasion, though she de-
cined Mrs. Nelson Herrick Henry's Of
fer to treat to "hot dogs"
Mrs. Philip Lydig worked beside Miss
Dressler selling vegetables, and among
those who went home with baskets I'M
der their arms were many who live
above Washington Square North. as
we'll as those who live in its southern
and western attics. The proceeds will

is raising for war work among women.
