An Atlantic Port, June 25.-Mem

British steamer was uninjured.

miles off the coast of Ireland.
Soon Got the Range.
According to the story told by the
gunner of the British steamer, the
submarine was first seen when she
sent a shell at the steamer from a
distance of about 5000 yeards. 1t fell
short, and the steamer Immediately
swung around so that her stern was
toward the U-boat, getting the naval
gun at work. Eleven shots were fired
in rapid succession, and each struck
close to the German.
81 knew l had the range after the
second shot, and so did the Ger

"The Germans were using their
two guns, fore and aft, while we had

lowed him with shell, and the twel-

was then more than 5000 yards

AT the same time our battle was

sage that another American ship had
been tOrpedoed and was sinking. The
message said that the German was
firing on the lifeboats. That vessel
was about thirty miles to the south
of us, and do not know how they
made out"
The steamers captain and other
officers would not discuss the battle,
the story was obtained from other
of the crew.

Send in Farm News

Many farmers have told us that
they like our farm department. We
want them to like it but we are anx-
ious to make it more interesting and
helpful. We believe we can do this
by publishing more local matter con-
corning the Stevens county farmers.
We regard farming, which includes
stock raising, dairying, poultry rails
ing, horticulture and the like as re-
presentive for the larger part of the
occupation and investment of a COM
munity like this, and it is very fitting
that we "endeavOr to reflect the life of
this constituency. In other words we
want to publish more news that has
to do with the distinctly farm life of
this county.
We want you to come into the Of
flee and bring such news; to stop us
on the street and tell us about it; to
write it up and send it in by mail; to
phone it in; to hunt up any of our
many correspondents and tell it to
them-any way and every way so as
to get it here.
Here are few suggestions as to
the sort of news we want:
Sale of farms with price per acre
and total price.
Erection of farm residence, barns,
silos and other buildings.
Purchase or sale Of any good, large
or high priced pedigreed stock.
Sale on the market Of any special
ly good or heavy live stock, or in
especially large numbers, with prices
if exceptional.
Experiments in any improved
methods of farming. Any new crops
tried and results obtained.
Weather as affecting crop eondi-
lions.
Crop prospects from week to week
during the growing season, and pro-
gress of different stages of farm
work.

Something to Remember

Farm Stock and Home.-Peculiar
conditions have surrounded the
wheat market for the past three
years. The normal world flow has
been stopped. Russia has ceased to
figure as a factor in the Liverpool
markets. India and Australia, be-
cause of distance, the shortage of
shipping, and the submarine, are
like of small account. It is as tho
these great competitors of ours had
ceased to exist.
The shortage of shipping, which
makes it impossible to get large
quantities of Australian wheat,
makes it twice as hard to get wheat
from the Argentine as from North
America, and on these two sources
our Allies must lean for their bread.
This explains the high price level of
the recent past.
But there is another side to this
story. The war is, after all, an
incident that may end Unexpectedly,

large pile-up and Australia is said
to have 18O,OO0,0OO awaiting ship
ping. Peace would release this wheat
and the ships with which to move it.
The old competitors would come
back to their old markets, and, far in
advance of the actual receipt of their
grain would come the sharp falling
Of prices, ~~--~s--~.
But peace is probably some mea-
sureable distance away. Even so,
the situation contains possibilities of
local glut. Under normal condi-
lions the export crop is moved in
about four months. This is suf1-
GENTLY rapid movement to keep the
terminals reasonably clear. But in
creased export needs and decreased
shipping combine to lower the month
ly export percentage to such an ex-
tent that from ten to twelve months
will be needed to export the crop
What must be looked for under
such circumstances is terminal elev-
ator congestion and filling up all
along the line back to the local elev-
ator. This would, normally, mean
bad slump in the market price OF

wheat, despite the fact that every
bushel is needed.
We would be half way between
the position of the Australian who
can grow but cannot deliver, and
the Englishman who can deliver but
cannot grow for want of man-power.
We would have the goods and the
market, but mighty bad road and
only one-third enough teams to do
the hauling.
This condition, which the public
generally does not recognize, is upon
us, and the fact is that wheat prices
in 1918 were due for bad bump
when the government stepped in and
saved the situation by establishing
its prices at a figure below that of
the old crop.
This is an angle of the price-fxing
discussion that has had less atten-
ton than the merits of the situation
deserve.

WINTER RYE GOOD
O., IN WESTERN MHNN
- @4N "~~ A>N
supt. Miller Cites Advantages OF
This Crop in Killing Weeds and
49,. Wild Oats

Winter rye has several points to
commend it to the western Minnesota
farmer this fall.
The spring of 1913 will probably
see the largest acreage in the history
of the state put into crops, and this
will undoubtedly mean on UMPIRE
cedented rush of spring work to gel
the spring crop in at the proper
time. A substantial acreage of rye
will do much to relieve the pressure
of spring work and to distribute the
labor evenly. This will be true not
only of spring but of harvest time
as we'll, as the rye will be in the
shock before other grains are ready
to cut.
Winter rye is also an enemy OF
wild oats, mustard and Quack grass.
When fall seeding is done, the weed
seeds terminate only to be killed
when cold weather comes. The spring
crop of weeds will be killed before
the seed is mature in the early sum-
mer when the rye is harvested.
Winter rye, again, is very prOnt-
able cash crop under present wal
conditions. This season Minnesota
No. 2 rye averaged 81 bushels to the
acre at the West Central Experiment
Station.
Rye in western Minnesota should
be seeded from September to Is fol-
the best results, although later seed
ing often gives good results. The
plants should be we'll stooled and
rooted before cold weather sets in
six pecks to the acre on fall blowing

good seed bed is enough.-P. e. Mill

Tom Foley, Tammsny leader in the

long the enemy of "the cause" had
voted yves" on the suffrage amendment.
The word travelled back TO headquar-
tiers, and great was the excitement
among the more credulous suffragists
over the supposed capitulation of the
Tammany leader, who had promised to
come out for suffrage if Miss Gross
would get the signatures of 80 per cent
of the voters in his twenty-one cleo
ton districts.

Foley promised last summer, "if you'll

cent. But last night he denied that he
had voted for the amendment.

In the long fight for suffrage in this
state certain names stand out among
the women who have labored long and
earnestly in the effort TO win the vote

sisters. Up to two years ago the cam
paign was hindered to certain extent
by the differences between the various
organizations which were working tow
ards the same goal by different routes.
To Mrs. Carrie Chapman Gait and Mrs.
Raymond Brown, especially, belongs the
credit for bringing together the diver
gent elements and welding them into
one thoroughly efficient machine IN
which all could work tremendously to
the great end.
