THE SCRATCH PAD
BY THOMAS EWING DARNEY.

The Turkey trot is the fayorite
dance several miles north OF Bagdad.
"Oyert act" is one thing of which
we are getting heartily tired.
A lot of politicians have learned
to their horror that there aren't
enough jobs to go around.
Spring came on March 20 at 11:30
p, M, so the thirstsmiths haven't long
to wait for the new Book beer.
After listening to the ciack Of
German sympathizers, we are frank
to confess that it is much funnier
than Dutch comedians In vaudeville.
"Fraught with tremendous posi-
bilities" is having quite a run in the
editorial columns that are straining
beneath the Russian problem.
What a futile thing is human en-
deavor. Kaiser Bill has been strug-
Cling for place in the sun, and scien-
lists tell us it will be cold in fifteen
million years.
The man named Luck recently ar
rested in New Orleans as a bandit,
might we'll be termed Tough, Imogen,
as you have so thoughtfully sug-
gested.
Senator LaFollette has cancelled
his chautauqua engagements. No
doubt the threat of that egg thrower
in West Virginia convinced him it
was better to stay at home while the
staying was good.
Our ideas of the brave defenders of
the country received a severe shock
when a husky bluejacket weighing
about 200 pounds, rolls into haber-
dasher's store and asks for a pair of
Paris garters.
Patriotism, in addition to bringing
out the noble in a mans character,
also shows his ignorance. We have
already shown how ex-President Taft
and President Hibben, of Princeton,
imputed a Jeffersoniar saying to
Washington, and now Senator Lodge
has attributed millions for defense
but not one cent for tribute" to John
Marshall, when it was uttered by
Charles Cotesworth Pinckney.

CLEAN STREETS is PLEA
OF THIS CITIZEN


Your editorial of March 20 on side
walk nuisances sounds to me just like
the truth. | thing the sidewalk con-
dition on South Palafox street is a
disgrace to a civilized community.
How long do you thing the citizens
of Mobile would permit boxes, bar
rels and rubbish to take up rs per
cent of the sidewalk on Dauphin
street, or what would happen if a
merchant filled the sidewalk with
chicken coops, product trucks, on
East Bay street, Jacksonville.
And do you thing a peanut roaster
would be allowed to take up 65 per
cent of the sidewalk adjoining the st.
Charles hotel in New Orleans. And
also, please name any other city in
this or any other country that would
permit whiskey barrels, junk, chicken
croops, oyster barrels and garbage
cans to stand for days and in some
instances for weeks occupying from
10 to 65 per cent of the sidewalk
space on the main thoroughfare of
the city? l don't know of single one.
What other city on the globe hav-
ing bay at the foot of the principal
street large and deep enough to har-
Dor all the battleships of the world
at one time, would compel its visitors
and citizens to run the unsightly and
insanitary gantlet to reach the bay
front? l will make answer because
l know what I am talking about
There is no other city anywhere that
would permit of conditions thirty
minutes.
am setting forth the above facts
in the hope that 1 will be Joined in
the protest by citizens who want to
see this iutolerable condition wiped
out.
Every citizen with the slightest
spark of civic pride wants to see a
cleaner and better looking Pensacola
We want more tourists to come and
| want them to stay longer. We want
them to come back and bring theil
friends along, and when they do come
feIiow citizens, let US show them E
nice, clean street leading right dowr
! to the most beautiful bay in America
The Alaflamiss is spending none,
and time to bring people to our city
and it is up to US to show them :
clean frontyard when they arrive.
Will the people who have the GOOD
of Pensacola at heart support me il
this protest?

School Gardening

den in our modern life may be con-
sidered from many angles.
Chief among these viewpoints are:
Educational, economic, nature study,
healthful exercise and character
building.
The Educational Advantages.
The educational advantages of a
school garden are so great as to be
apparent to everyone. Books teach
theory. The garden insists upon the
practical application of all knowledge
gained.
The books make statements, that
are usually intended to be accepted
without question or argument. (Ex-
cept, of course, in mathematics.
The garden is bristling with inter
rogtion points. Why did this happen
so? Why did Johnnie's radishes come
up in three days and Tommy's in five
days? In short, the gardener must
study by observation and reason. And
that is the basis of all science.
By the way, what is science? The
best and shortest definition | ever
heard is classified knowledge" 1t is
not classified hearsay" or hit or miss
gossip, but the systematic grouping
of facts, determined by hundreds of
observations and thousands of ex-
periments.
When Benjamin Franklin had
learned all that the books could tell
him of electricity, when he had ex-
hausted the knowledge of contempor-
ary students and experiments, he
proceeded to ask questions of the
clouds, the sun, the air and the earth.

EFFECT IN BUSINESS

One OF the most noticeable DEVELOPMENTS
IN our present crisis is the increasing calm
with which the American people take each
step towards war There was more ex-
cltement to the Sussex ultimatum than
there was to the severing of relations. and
more then than to ships being armed to
blast their way to freedom and Washing
tons acknowledgements that virtual state
of war exists
Discovery of the plot against us stirred
the United States deeply, but there was NJ
hyster1a. That Germany should accept
the rupture calmly is nothing out of the
ordinary. Germany is FIGHTING the greater
part OF civilization already-by this time
she IS used to upright and forward-lookino
nations turning against her; but, as a m. If,
ter fact, Germany is a great deal more
excited over the United States entering the
war than is the United States. The FREQUENT
references to the unpreparedness of the
Onted States and the bil1ingsgate against
eH-Ampassador Gerard and President vii
son, prove It. Germany wrote and sung
the ny1nn OF hate against England under
similar excitement.
NOT only does the American GOODNESS
speak well tor our military determination.
1t IS also the clearest proof that war will
not exert a violent influence on business.

THE ALLIED ADVANCE.

The German evacuation of Baupaume,
objective of the Somme drive begun last
July, and about 1000 square miles of ter
ritory, whose entertainments were consid-
cred as strong as field Gibraltar, is de-
clared by Berlin to be strategic and volun-
tary Volutary it undoubtedly is
in the sense that the retreat is
derly; but no army likes to fall back.
Ioffre's retirement to the Marine was emf
nently strategic, but it was also gall and
wormwood and the same cup of bitterness
is being drained by the German people ac-
customed to victory or tales of victory
Now they are being gulled with the
story that the retirement is part of Ger
man. plan to do away with trench warfare,
one of those o'-the-Wisp promises to
goad jaded enthusiasm, like Zeppelins, sub
marines, the Verdun drive, and the take
Calais or die melo drama. There are mill
tary reasons for the evacuation of Bau-
paune. The place was untenable.
From much experience, the Germans
have found that after artillery preparation,
it is simply impossible to withstand the
rush-forward. In the early days of the
Somme offensive, they tried to resist, with
heavy casualties to themselves and to the
enemy. Now, just before they expect a
charge, they retire, and the enemy occupies
the abandoned positions-the offensive has
gained its object But is it not significant
that a general staff, once so prodigal of
men that it hurled such masses of them to
the attack that the dead could not fall, is
now seeking to conserve its forces? Is it
not significant, too, that the allies do not
give ground at Verdun and other places
where the German artillery preparation
is Just as thorough?
Germany will, of course, make another
stand her positions are prepared and the
country is mapped for gunfre, so that
when her airplanes are driven from the
skies, her gunners will be able to fire with
a degree of certainty and precision. No
need to waste time wondering with what
fantastic tactics Germany will endeayGr to
supplant trench warfare-that was in
tended for home consumption; that was to
keep the people guessing and take their
minds off the thousand mile give-1p.
But bringing up their artillery, the allies
will concentrate on a new drive. If the
shortening of Germany's lines makes them
easier to defend, it also makes them easier
to attack. Germany may even be expected
to undertake an offensive. But Germany
will be overborne here as she was on the
Somme; she will fall back anew-for mill
tary reasons, and the same cycle will start
over again.
Each time the evacuation will take the
battle nearer Germany: each mile o1
ground lost that Germany last Christmas
was willing to barter for African colonies
and concessions in Europe, brings the final
reckoning nearer home
Germany still possesses tremendous mil
itary force-ex-Ambassad Gerard is au-
thorlty for the statement that she has
l20OO,00O men under arms; but her force
IS not as great as it was at the beginniro
OF the war, when she was unable to beat
the weaker allies; now the allies are
stronger.
AS the Marine marked the failure of The
German offensive. SO the Somme marks
the failure OF the German defensive

A noble thought, nobly expressed;
timely above all, for the country is being
circularlzed with propaganda such as, the
workers of the United States have no de-
sire and no reason to shed their blood,
followed by announcement of the presi-
dents determination to protect American
life and property, in an endeavorlng to
create the impression that this is the at
t1tude of labor, the backbone of the nation,
when it is merely sedition.
Whether by their lives or their toll it is
the workingmen who bear the brunt of
battle-and the term working man. in
cludes everybody who labors either with
brain or brawn whether they are members
OF unions or not-in a word, non-capitaf
ists Never before did industry play such
an important part in warfare, which in the
last analysis is a contest between the work
land, financial and transportation resources
of the countries involved. The army at the
front is the pearhead-valueless without
the shaft, the army of workers at home; j;
and as the Federation of Labor SAYS. 'in-
duStrlal service shall be deemed equally
merltorious as military service" Elabor-
ating, it says:
The menace of mlitarsm arises through isolating
me defensive functions of the state from civic acvf
with people Isolation is subversive to
bitrary power.
Which IS pretty good argument for
universal service, for that instead Of taking
military agencies out of touch with the
people, 1t puts them in the peoples hands
1t invests the people with the sovereignty
of battle.
If labor waited for an industrial crisis
to organize, it would never win CONNER
clal battle. But the fact that labor has
believed in preparedness and has organized
an army over two million strong, has given
1t the power to assert its rights
This, however, is a little from our pur-
pose; to call attention to the sturdy LOYALTY
OF Americans as expressed through the
largest organization of country where,
always opposed to wars of aggrandize-
ment and exploitation, has never failed in
the struggle for greater freedom, demo-
cratic institutions and ideals of human
justice.

RYE SEEDED AS COVER CROP
Planted In cornfieIds II Frequently
Can Be Utilized as Late Fall or
Spring Pasture.

Rye seeded as a cover crop in corn
fields can frequently be utilized for
late fall and early spring pasture, or
can be allowed to mature and be
hogged down with satisfactory results.
At the last cultivation of corn, rye
can be seeded at the rate of six to
eight pecks per acre. 1t will furnish
nutritious pasturage by fall in favor
able seasons. In the spring the crop
may be used for pasture or blowing
under, or hogs may be turned into the
field after the grain is ripe.
Six pigs averaging A pounds in
weight were fed on quarter of an
acre Of rye for 40 days at the Ohio
experiment station. During this time
they made an average daily gain of
half a pound. While hogging down the
rye the pigs were fed a fifth of a
pound Of tankage apiece daily.
Rye as a general rule cannot COM
pete with corn for hogging down, ac-
cording to specialists at the expert
ment station. 1t may be substituted
economically for corn when it is diff
cult to harvest and thresh and when
its price per pound is about the same
as that of corn.

instances it has been doubled. Not
only is more hay produced, but the hay
is richer in protein and consequently
of higher feeding value, according to
w. A. Albrecht of the University of
Missouri college of agriculture. Cow
pea hay from plants, inoculated at the
Illinois station, contained 20 per cent
protein while plants not treated car
ried but 15h per cent of this valuable
food constituent. incubation enables
the plant to get nitrogen from the air
in addition to that from the soil. This
not only conserves the supply, but
when the crop is turned under it in
creases the nitrogen content of the
soil.
incubation, then, is beneficial be-
cause it increases the yield and i'm
proves the quality of hay and enriches
the soil through the nitrogen of the
air. These benefits justify the expense
and trouble of incubation.

saved. 1t is expected that an effective
campaign would result in even a larger
saving.
Specialists will give demonstrations
to small groups of farmers, fruit grow
ers and others in regions where their
services are most needed. Wherever
it can be done persons in the community
where the demonstration is being con-
Quoted will be asked to assist in pre-
pairing spray mixtures, emulsions, poi
soned bats, dips, washes and the like.
These persons, SD far as practicable,
then will be requested to assist in the
application of these and other meas
ures in order that each community in
which demonstrations are given will
have one or more persons acquainted
with methods of assembling and apply
ing insecticides and in the use of other
remedial measures.
Specialists in rice insects will visit
rice fields. Men familiar with the in
sect pests of the orchard and vineyard
will be sent to those states where fruit
growing is an important industry. In
the large trucking areas OF the country
and elsewhere specialists familiar with
the insects of truck crops will be de-
tailed. Men familiar with the insect
pests of cereal and forage crops will
work in states where these crops are
of most Importance, and will give spe-
cial attention to such important pests
as the Hessian fly, chinch bug and
joint worms.
In case Of serious insect outbreaks
men will be available to concentrate
effort in the infested territory, to pre-
vent, if possible, further spread of the
pest. 1t is planned to give attention
also to demonstrating and disseminat-
ing information about methods for the
prevention of insect losses to stored
grains, four and other products, in
mills, warehouses and granaries, and
for the reduction of losses to other
stored food products.
