A GOOD YEAR FOR
EARLY HAY CROPS
Hay And Corn Are Scarce
And High, Making Early
Pastures A Necessity.

We are now approaching the
planting season, and remember the
value Of making a good seed bed
Use the disc and harrow literally
and get the soil thoroughly pulver
lied before planting. Use a roller
if you have one, and break up the
clods. Clods are worse than rocks
They are in the way and a nuisance
in the cultivation of a crop, and
they supply no plant food whatever
The labor used in putting in your
crop we'll will Ge saved in the cult
walton, and tie increased yield in
the fall will cause you, 70 keep up
the practice when you olce begin it.
In planting your crops use he level
system on all well drained lands.
In wet lands it will be necessary to
bed your land TO afford drainage and
protection against spring rains, but
if not necessary to bed your land,
by all means plant it level, and CUl-
tivate it level. The first few cult
vations may be deep, but after the
roots form and begin to extend out
into the middles, cultivate shallow,
so you won't break the roots. Re-
member that the roots feed the
plant, and that they get the fCOl
from the soil in liquid form. You
can also see the importance of hav-
ing loose ground at planting time,
so that the roots when young and
tender can move out in search OF
food moisture. You can also see
the Importance of shallow cultivs-
ton later on, so the roots will not
be torn up and broken off Where
land does not drain well, and it is
necessary to bed your land for plant
ing, it is a good policy to make a
wide bed, wide enough for two rows.
This plan works we'll in most in.

This is good year for Sudan and
other early hay crops. Hay is
scarce and high priced So is corn,
consequently it is wise to have some
hay produced as early as possible

(Continued from Page One) pulp into the United States shall be made only on government account to or through the federal agency charged with such supervision and distribu- ton.
 "In this connection the commission desires to point out that such plan contemplates the operation of mills under the present management and the use of the. present distributing agencies, but that such use and opera ton shall be for the public good, di- rected by a disinterested public agency to secure equitable distribution and a price that is based on a fair cost of production and fair profit per ton to be determined without regard to the panic market created by unusual and abnormal conditions. This plan has the virtue analogous to those plans which have been tried. and successfully operated in Great Britain. It will also insure the maximum production and greatest facility in transportation and distribution and will adapt itself readily to return to normal compe- titive conditions upon the conclusion of the war"

FAIRFIELD COUNTY HOUSEWIVES WON'T
 BE SHORT OF JARS
Mobilization Committee Pro. cures Big Consignment
 for Use In Canning

Two hundred and eighty-eight thou. wives of Fairfield county when they're ready for the canning season. The jars have been purchased by the Ag- ricultural Department of the Fairfield County Association for Mobilization of Resources and will be furnished to housewives at actual cost.
 Three hundred, thousand heavy rub bers for use on the jars have also been procured, so that the needs of the county are adequately provided for when the canning season arrives. The jars and rubbers have been stored in the central warehouse of the associa- tion in Middle street and are avail able.
 In addition, the association has pro- vided complete canning outfits many of which have already been distributed at cost. Buying in quantity the asso. citation obtained advantage of low prices and also guarded against a shortage that possibly might appear when the rush for such articles comes later. 5--.os.+
 Information regarding the pur- chases of the Agricultural Department are contained in official bulletin No. 5, just issued at the association head quarters. The record of the depart ment to date shows that seeds valued at $14,00O have been distributed to farmers of the county, while the threatened dearth of fertilizer was met by the association in the pur- chase and distribution at cost of 800 ySci< iSr
 The official bulletin points out that 20 banks of the county are co-operat- ing with the association in the exten- sion of credits to farmers with a min- imum of red tape and delay. In the first two weeks during which the credit plan was in operation, 59 loans ranging from $40 to $500 were made through the county banks.
 Farm implements worth $390O have been sold at cost by the association and in many cases the farmers were assisted in the financing of deals for the purchases.
 The Agricultural Department has a big program mapped out for the fu- ture. Meetings will be held in every town dn the county when the impor- tant work of this department will be fully explained The provision of ad- equate labor for harvesting time is one of the big problems on which the department is how busied. Bulletin NO. also contains detailed reports of the work and plans of the Industrial, Transportation, Military, and Welfare Departments of the as- socdatfon.

Foe of the Tarantuia.

Tarantulas prefer loose, stony ground for their habitat. The foolish crea- lures come out for stroll just before the sunset hours, at the very time when the tarantula hawk-which is not bird, but a wasp-is out looking for them. The vicious wasp is quite sure to find them, and, although the fight may be long and the tarantula may make( a tenacious defense, the wasp's lance will. finally pierce and stupefy the tarantula, whose body will retain warmth during the required number of days for the incubation of the eggs which the wasp will deposit in her victim.
 When the grubs of the baby taran- tula hawks appear the ungracious little things will immediately proceed to de- vour the warm husk that gives them protection and life, thus fulfilling their destiny and incidentally protecting the dwellers on the border.

Tiny and TireIess,


 Heat is not substance. It is merely the vibration of the molecules compos- ing the material heated. Every mate rial is made up of molecules, and each molecule is composed of atoms. Mole cules of matter are held together by a force called cohesion"
 At absolute zero, colder yet than liquid air, or minus 27O degrees, all molecules are at rest. As the temper ature rises the molecules begin to move to and fro. The higher the temperature is raised the further and faster swing the molecules.
 Molecules are so minute that there are about one sextillion of them in a cubic inch of air. These at freezing temperature oscillata back and forth at the rate of 1,470 feet second. The average length of their path between oscillations is about one two hundred and seventy seven thousandth of an inch. Each comes into collision with its fellows about 5,OOO,OO0 times sec oud

 School: Not German

Cleveland, June Alderman lan- guage instruction, except to students of chemistry, has been abandoned for the period of the war by the faculty of Case school of applied science. French will be substituted.
 Dr. Charles s. Howe, president of the school, said the substitution had been decided on because the school cannot obtain German technical pa pers formerly used as text books and because many Case students are go- ing into the army and will need a knowledge of the French language.
