Ahearn, professor Of landscape gar
dening In the Kansas State Agricultur-
al college.
Determination may be FASTENED by
soaking the seeds in warm water be-
fore planting said Professor Ahearn.
THE trench method Is considered the
most successful way of planting. The
trench should be from six to eight inch
es deep and foot wide. The bottom
Of the trench should be turned and
well rotted manure worked into it,
Firm the soil and plant the seeds in
six inches apart, one seed to an inch
I'm the row.
The pit should be left open until the
plants appear and filled gradually as
they grow. This encourages the de-
velopment Of long roots and gives the
plant the ability to withstand the hot
summer months. If the weather is
cold when the plants first appear the
pit should be partly filled with dry
leaves to protect them until the warm
weather. Thin the plants to dis
lance Of three inches.
a trellis should be provided for the
vines. 1t may be made of wire net
ting, crossbars being nailed between
the uprights for support. A netting
that says causes injury to the vines
and is unsightly. The trellis should be
from four to six feet high. The tips
of the vines should be clipped when
they attain height Of six feet. More
blooms will follow each picking"

Spokesman for Carranza Says
Negotiations Will Not Be

Leave.
WILSON WILL SEE LANE
President to Have Conference
With Members of Commis-
sion at B O'clock.
EXCHANGES ARE NEAR END

Oueretaro, Mexico, Jan. 3.-Felix
Palavacini, former secretary of public
instruction, who often has spoken for
General Carranza, declared before the
constitutional assembly last night the
international situation was grave.
General Carranza, said the speaker,
had>refused to resume conferences
with the United States representatives
until the American troops were with
drawn from Mexico Internationally
and he declared that the assembly
must rush the work on the constitu-
ton and proclaim the rights of the
people, while General Carranza and
the constitutional forces were battling
against a dangerous enemy, to save
the national honor and integrity.
. Wilson Will See Commissioners.
Washington, Jan. 3.-President
Wilson will confer at 5 o'clock this
afternoon with Secretary Lane and
the other American members of the
Mexican American commission.
1t was announced that the Ameri-
can commissioners would make a
statement of their position to the
president and in some quarters that
was taken to forecast an end of the
commission negotiations. An answer
is being prepared to Carranza's plea
for notifications in the protocol, but
it was said that was not to be dis
cussed today with the president.
The end of the commission negotia-
tions was considered by other officials
to be preliminary to new line of pro-
cedure in Mexican relations, which is
expected to begin with the sending of
Henry P. Fletcher to his post as
American ambassador at Mexico City
and the withdrawal of the American
military expedition.

and eliminating terms never before
seen in an international document All
the newspapers agree that the only
answer that the central powers can
give is with the sword; that the war
must be continued until the allies
themselves sue for peace.
Only few newspapers see even a
faint hope that peace still may be at
tainable within a reasonable time. Gu
riously enough the super-nationaIist
pan-German, Taeglische Rundschau,
maintains a feeble show Of d optimism,
saying:
The thought Of peace is not
quenched by this rejection" but even
this utterance is qualified by the ex-
planation that peace can come only
through failure of the entente plans
of conquest and crushing of Germany.
The Tageblatt also believes the idea
of peace retains its vitality, saying:
Even though the attempt be made
to bury it under thousand argu-
ments, peace will continue to rise up
mightier than ever after every failure
to achieve expected victory"

RUSS FALL BACK
TO LINE OF SERETH
Strong Effort Will Be Made to
Stop Victorious Advance of
Teutons Here.
GALICIA IS IN DANGER

ASSOCIATED Press War Summary
Reports from both sides in the
struggle in Roumania indicate that
the Russians have now virtually
reached the line Of the Sereth, to
which they have been falling back
while fighting strong rear guard &C
tons.
Berlin today announces that troops
of the Ninth army under Field Mar
shal Won Mackensen are at Fokshani,
which is on the fortified line which
the Russians have been preparing and
which follows i'll general way the
course of the Sereth.~ Ending at the
Danube between Braila and Galata,
this line extends northwestward
through Moldavia in the direction of
the western Moldavian frontier.
1t is here, according to present in
dications, that the Russions count
upon bringing Field Marshal Won
Mackensen's advance to halt. Fail
ing this purpose, it has been pointed
out, they would expose their front
from Galicia southwark to a possible
crumbling up process through turn
ing movement and imperil their BesE
sarabian territory to invasions north
of the Danube, across the line of
the Pruth.
Apparently the Teutonic effort to
break this line is to be strong one,
as today's Berlin statement records
smashing attacks upon the Russian
lines at several points in which pris-
oners were taken and ground gained.
Meanwhile the drive at the right flank
of the Russians in this region along
the western Moldavian frontier is con-
tinuing unabated and further progress
in the Transverse valleys, notably in
the Suchitza and Putna regions, is
announced.
On the Danube end of the line the
security of Braia has been further
imperiled, according to the Berlin re-
port, by new advance of the Teu-
tonic forces on the Dobrudja side
of the river, where the Russians have
been driven back further into the
northwestern corner of the province
opposite Braila. Elsewhere in the
field of war no important operations
are recorded in any of the official ac-
counts, patrol and artillery activities
furnishing the material for the bulk
of the statements.
