A WARNING TO FARMERS

The Live Stock and Agricultural
Bureau of the Denver Civic and Com
mercial Association is sending out
the following warning to farmers
over Colorado:
Reports reaching this bureau in
dicate that in their anxiety to grow
high-priced, concentrate crops for
human food, farmers in Colorado are
neglecting forage crops for domestic
animals. Thousands of acres of
prairie lands are being plowed up
for grain crops, still further reduc-
ing the available pasturage. This
state is carrying over from last sea-
son practically no reserves of hay
and forage. Never in our history
have we been so short of feed crops
and forage for live stock. Meat is
just as important as bread as a hui
man food. and this year forage and
hay will be almost, If not quite, as
profitable as the grain and root crops
Hay and forage mean meat, milk
crops these important food products
are impossible.
AT least forty per cent of the eul-
tivated area of each farm should be
put in forage crops. 1t is not yet too
late to put in cane, alfalfa, white Aus
tralian corn and other forage crops,
and fall rye for pastures will be
found of great value next fall. Every
farm should have a silo or two-a
pit silo can be easily and cheaply
constructed. Arrange to utilize the
straw. Properly mixed with alfalfa
in the stack, layer of straw and a
layer of alfalfa, the live stock will
eat it very readily.
I'm the excitement of preparing
food crops to meet the present emer-
gency, do not forget the live stock" "

Bowel Complaints i'm India

In lecture at one of the Des
Moines, Iowa, Churches a missionary
from India told of going into the in
terror of India, where he was taken
sick, that he had a bottle of Cham
berlain's Collie, Cholera and Diarhoea
Remedy with him and believed that

CORNER IN POTATOES
fi AND ONIONS BROKEN
Prices Of Staple Food Continue
To Drop On the New
York Market.

NewYork, March 3.-Abnormal de-
creases in the prices of such staple
food commodities as potatoes and
onions since last Monday morning,
as compared with the prices of Feb
ruary %, have saved the people OF
New York City approximately 49,.
100000, Commissioner of Weights
and Measures Hartigan estimated in
q statement issued last week.
Whatever credit Is to be given
for the breaking of an apparent cor
ner in onions and potatoes caused
primarily by transportation conges-
ton, coupled. with reported crop
shortages and reduced reserve sup
plies, obviously taken advantage o.
by food spectators" Mr.. Hartigan
said, is due to the common sense of
the people of the city who establish
ed an automatic boycott by refus-
ing to buy either potatoes or onions
thus applying the memorable law OF
supply and demand. 1t is manifest
that in the boycott system the unor-
ganized consumer has in his posses
sion a most powerful weapon to re-
duce prices of certain commodities
upon which ,prohibitive values have
been placed"
Mr.. Hartigan said he had received
letters and kilograms from producers
and shippers in all parts of the coun-
try offering large quantities of all
kinds of foodstuffs at prices in some
cases 80 per cent. less than New
York wholesale prices.
Reports from Commissioners OF
Agriculture in various States indi-
cate" Mr.. Hartigan stated, that
each has advised farmers to cultivate
every acre that can be used to pro-
duce foodstuffs. -

MAZE OF INTRIGUE
GERMAN PLOT
Ramifications of Plot Ex-
tend From Atlantic
To Pacific.
SECRET SERVICE MEN ACTIVE
Has Dug Up Much Evidence and
PIOtters Are Under Close
Surveillance.

Washington.-The efforts of the
German government to stir up Mex
ice and Japan to make war on the
United States and the maze of in
trigue that has attended the German
governments efforts in that direc-
ton are not comparable to the Ger
man plot Which has been organized
within the United States and which
has been under the surveillance OF
government agents Tor many
months.
Full knowledge OF the ramifca-
lions of this plot, which extends
from the Atlantic to the Pacific and
takes in every important city in the
land, would inflame the American
people to the fighting point.
Every effort has been made so far
to conceal the magnitude of this plot
and newspapers which have had
knowledge of it have purposely re-
Trained from publishing the facts
that had come in their possession.
1t now seems inevitable, however.
that the full facts in the case of
Germany's plot against the United
States and her plots within the
United States will eventually become
known.
The spy plots within the United
States have had a definite and con-
crete purpose. They have been well
organized and well financed, and
what they might have accomplished
had their activities not been checked
can never be known.
The Primary Purpose.
1t is well known in official circles
here that the primary purpose of the
plot is to stir up revolution in the
United States. Perhaps not a mill
tary revolution, but a civil revolu-
ton against the government, which
would have much more embarrass-
ms SiiOSl Oi liit SONIiHhltul oIuNS
preventive measures could not be so
drastic in the latter case. Plans for
this revolution have been well de-
veloped, and plans for blowing up
munition factories, for dynamiting
bridges and sources of water supply,
and for performing other acts of ter
rcrism had been perfected. and some
of them we're being carried out be-
core t1g government was aware. ex-
cept in @ general way, of their ex-
istence. q
1t was about eighteen months ago
that the government awoke to the
immensely OF German intrigue in
this country. How the awakening
came about is not known. but it is
suggested that the trails of many
munition factory explosions led to
the uncovering of the first details of
the plot. Starting Immediately and
employing every available man, the
government was able, within nine
months or so, to make q complete
case based on this conspiracy.

following the outbreak of the war.
The exports of wheat in normal times
are approximately los, 100000 BUSH
els. The year preceding the war it
was 100000. In 1914-1915 it
was 332, 100000 and in 1915-1916,
243,000,000. Looking only at the
crop of 640,OO0.0O0 bushels and hav-
ing in mind the possibilities of ex-
ports as suggested by the figures of
332,0O0,000 for 1914-1915 the pub
lie naturally apprehended there
would be a lack of bread. Dealers
and others became unduly excited
The Secretary pointed to an in
creasing meat supply and to a large
ly increased acreage of wheat last
fall and predicts a large increase this
spring. A big yield on this acreage,
he says, should give the country a
l, O00, 900, OO0-bushel wheat crop.

Route of Federal Highway
Not Been Definitely Decided

The route OF the Federal High
way, to traverse Kentucky from the
Mississippi In the west to the Big
Sandy in the east. has not been defl-
nitely settled. and 1t will be some
time perhaps before We will know
whether 1t will go the Southern or
the Central route. In the event the
latter route is decided ON Ohio will
be one of the counties trayersed by
1t.
The Southern route boosters con-
tended that a big portion of the
road over which the highway will
pass is already built and that the
home of Jefr Davis, on which the
second highest monument lin the
world Is soon to be built. is Jon that
route,
The Central route boosters argu-

ed that our route was between thirty
and forty miles shorter than the
Southern route and that greater
number of people would be benefited
by the trunk line highway than
there would be II the road went the
Southern route.
The proposition is now up to the
Sinking Fund Commissioners to APP
prove the route as the matter was
presented to them at Frankfort last
week by representatives of both
routes. and until they reach some
decision. the route the highway will
take through the State is conjse-
ture.
Here's hoping, however. that the
Commissioners will see ut to decide
on the Central route.

How would some of you Kentucky
