ities of the nation have been working
independently of each other, too Of

had because of lack of teamwork.
To correct this and to get the best
results the Government Is organizing
from Washington down to the small

INCREASE YIELD BY PRUNING
Pinch of Center Buds, Thus Throwing
Energy Of Plants to Formation
and Ripening of Fruit.

The yield and quality of many veg
etables can be increased by pruning
and pinching Off center buds, thus
throwing the energy of the plants to
the formation and ripening of fruit
With muskmelons and cantaloupes I
always pinch off the center bud of the
main vine when it reaches a length Of
four or five feet, says a writer. Gu
cumbers are treated in like manner
Such treatment results in increased
size Of the fruit and a Fastening Of
maturity. For the same reason the
ends Of pole and lima bean vines are
pinched off when they reach height
Of six feet
Tomato vines expected to yield an
early crop are pruned severely. But
three stalks are allowed to develop, all
side shoots being pinched off as soon
as they begin to form. The three stalks
are firmly supported by a stake four
feet in height.
When the vines reach the top of the
stake the center bud is pinched out.
This stops height growth and throws
all the energy of the vine to the de-
veloping and ripening of fruit already
set. By following this method I have
obtained as high as 40 fine, perfect
tomatoes from single plant.

WAR GARDENS FOR EVERYONE
Supplies Are Needed for Armies Fight
ing for Brotherhood and Peace,
Says Dean Woods.

Every family should have it's own
garden this year. ITO do so will be to
release supplies for the armies that
are fighting for brotherhood and
peace" says Dean A. f. Woods of the
Minnesota College of Agriculture.
ITO hasten the close of the war"
adds Dean Woods. 1--WE must feed the
people in the armies. The farmers are
doing everything possible and the peO-
pie of the towns should assist by
avoiding waste and extravaganza.
They should make gardens not only in
their back yards, but in their front
yards as well. and on vacant lots.
They should organize garden clubs, in
Guiding women and children, and
grow enough to supply their needs not
only through the summer, but through
the winter. They can do this by in
tensive effort"
Dean Woods urges boys and girls
clubs, Boy Scouts, teachers, preachers
and all public-spirited citizens to lead
in this work.

GREAT NEED OF FOOD
Vo Danger of 0verproduction
This Year-Dean Mumford.
Any Surplus Which American Farmers
Can Produce Will Be Quickly Alb
sorbed by Hungry People Of
England and France.

While the farmer is being urged to
greater and greater production. he
naturally considers the possibility of
DverprOductiOn. Many farmers in
the state have advanced this question.
According to Dean +. b. MumfOrd in
he Missouri College of Agriculture,
)verDroducuon is exceedingly improb-
able this year. 1t has been agreed that
his cOuntry's part i'm the war will be
argely to supply food. "Our food
resources have been depleted by ship
ments to Europe and by several poor
crop years" said Dean MumfOrd re-
Gently, land now with unrestricted ex-
port to the allies, the small reserve
which we have will be further de-
creased. Any surplus which the
American farmers can produce will be
quickly absorbed mt wartime prices.
Millions of people in England, France
and other countries at war with the
German powers are in need of food.
They must have food not only for
their civilian population but for their
armies. They are too busy fighting to
provide that food themselves. 1t then
behooves the United States to supply
food
But it Is not alone for the allies
that we must produce maximum crops.
If we should have a poor crop year
throughout the country, our own peO-
pie may actually suffer.
"If GermanY is able to continue the
ruthless submarine warfare unhin-
dered some food will be lost on its
way to Europe. Consequently the
losses will tend toward further short
age and to absorb any surplus even If
there were danger Of OveTDroductiOn."
What would happen if peace should
come within the next few weeks2
Would not the markets be glutted7
In answer to these questions, Dean
Mumford said at is doubtful II
there will be a great decrease in the
demand for food Immediately following
the war. With commerce restored,
every nation which is now at war
will become market place for Amer
lean farm produce. Those countries
have no food reserve left and they
will turn to the United States to fur
nish food during reconstruction, and
until they can feed themselves"
AS an example of the actual scarcity
Of food in America. Dean MumfOrd
cites the condition of wheat: "In 1915
the United States produced 10 bush
els of wheat per capita; in 1916 we
produced bushels per capita, but
used 1-3 bushels for seed and Ordi-
nary consumption and exported 2h
bushels per capita. The present condi-
ton of wheat In the United States is
SO per cent of a normal crop. This
is % per cent below the average for
the last ten years. The condition in
Missouri is even wOrse-59 as COM
pared with the 15-year average of SO
per cent. The latest reports are that
the world crop of wheat is far below
average" Other foods are CORE
spondingly scarce.

WOOD-WOODS

A beautiful wedding took place on
Sunday afternoon at $3.50 O'Clock at
the home of Mrs. ]. A. Woods on Sec
ond avenue north, when her daughter,
Miss Irene Marie Woods, was united
in marriage with Mr.. l. Leonard
Wood of Harlowton, Mont.
The spacious parlor was beautiful
" decorated with ferns and chrysan-
themums, and the bride carried a
beautiful bouquet. Only a very few
friends were invited. Promptly at
$50 o'clock when the guests had ar
rived, Miss Edna Graham sang 20,
Promise Me-" Mrs. ]. c. Beatty pre-
siding at the piano. AS the last words
of the song were rendered, the bride
and groom came in and stood before
the minister who used the beautiful
derson, pastor of the Baptist church,
was the officiating minister.
After the ceremony the young peo-
pie too a car which was in waiting
and motored to some station up the
road, where they took the evening
train on their way to Harlowton, Mon
tana, the home of the groom.
The bride is the beautiful and &C
complished daughter of Mrs. ]. A.
Woods of this city, and until recently
has held a position with the Amalga-
mated Sugar company at Burley. The
groom is manager of the United Stores
company at Harlowton, Mont, but was
formerly at Filler where he is we'll
known and very popular. Both have
many friends who will wish them well

ish grows on almost any kind of soil.
and will stand the dry weather as well
as potatoes. In planting horse-radish,
fit the soil the same as for strawber-
ries, and cultivate the same as any
other garden crop.
Many persons plant horse-radish in
some Out-Of-the-way spot and dig q
piece of the root as often as needed,
leaving the fragments of roots in the
soil to grow for further use. This
method results in having nothing but
tough, strlngy roots, very unlike the
product of a properly planted and well
cared for bed. The best roots are those
planted in the spring at the time Of
setting early cabbage, and dug as late
the same fall as the weather will per
NIT. 1t becomes therefore, an annual
crop.

Grand Ovation in
Boise for Buffers
Immense audience Thrilled and De-
lighted BY Accomplished Twin
Falls Singers.

An audience which filled the Pin
ney theatre Monday night showed
Bosses appreciation of the gracious
courtesy of two of the star singers of
Twin Falls, Mr.. and Mrs. Charles u.
Butler, who motOred to the capital to
give a complimentary concert, with
the boys of the Second Idaho as hon
Orded guests, says the Boise States
man. Plans had been made for sew
eral selections by the regimental band,
most of whose members come from
che Twin Falls section, but it being
n holiday, several of the musicians
mad made previous engagements and
1T was not possible to get the band
together.
Mr.. and Mrs. Butler are entertain
esrs par excellence. Mr.. Butler has a
most appealing baritone voice, of rich
quality, and well developed, and his
program was arranged with the spe-
cial view of interesting the soldiers,
a large number of whom were pres
,snt
His "Trumpeter What Are You Say
mgr" was particularly touching and
Cant You Hear Me Calling. Caro-
1ine?'' most pleasing.
Mr.. Buffers story telling is quite on
a par with his singing and he con-
vulsed his audience with jolly stories
between songs.
Mrs Butler, in her blue and gold
crock was as charming to look upon
as she was delightful to hear. Hell
voice is clear and powerful and com
pletely filled the big auditorium. Her
'enunciation was perfect and all her
numbers were received with enthusi-
.asm. Her rendition of 1.-THE Holy
city" was superb.
The closing number on the pro-
gram, which lasted but an hour, was

Germans Claim a
U-Boat Invention
New System viii 0byiate the Neces-
sify Of Coming to Ocean Surface
Oxygen Tanks Used.
international News service)

international News ScfNlCej
PARIS, Sept 4-German engineers
are supposed to have overcome the
difficulty of not having an engine
that will work equally we'll when a
submarine is either on the surface
or submerged. An account of the
discovery appears in the Balse Mach
Tichten.
II may easily be seen it is impso-
sible for an oil engine to work in a
closed space under water, because
combustion draws an amount of oxy-
gen from the air that no submarine,
however capacious, could hold. For
ahis reason submarines have had two
motors, one for the surface, the other
Tor driving, which largely increased
abe weight Of the propelling mech
anism and at the same time reduces
Ghe space for the crew and for pro-
visions and munitions.
Besides this, the electric storage
batteries which have been used pos
sess the great disadvantage of pro-
ducing deleterious gases which viii
ate, more or less, the air of the YES
sci. Change of air becomes necessary
AT short intervals and the submarine
must come to the surface frequently,
not only for this purpose, but to re
charge its batteries by the action Of
the surface motors. This often en-
slbles the enemy to surprise and sink
she submarine in the course of the
surface stay necessary for the oper-
atoms of ventilation and storing Of
electricity.
In the new motor submarine the
ordinary batteries are replaced by a
battery of oxygen tanks, much small
or and lighter than the old ones. The
oxygen tanks and a system of fine
tubes supplies the oxygen necessary
90 the combustion of the fuel of the
engine. Still another set of tubes
carry oxygen to the exhaust pipes
where the oxygen and the gases of
combustion combine. Carbonic acid
gas is drawn through jacket of
pipes containing lime water, precipit-
Ating the incombustible gas as carbo-
nate of calcium. The other gases of
the engine recombined with oxygen,
become combustible and can be used
again.
At first sight this contrivance
seems to be like perpetual motion in
disguise. Experts in the Diesel en-
CINE, of which this contrivance un-
llOnbtedly is a new type, say that
the system as described is impossible
because of the enormous weight
necessary for volume of oxygen
needed to supply a submarine for
three weeks.
This expert says the weight for a
large supply of the gas would be pro
nibitive. For the tanks in which the
compressed oxygen must be stored
are also heavy. The quantity of gas
that could be carried, he thinks,
would limit the radius of the sub
marines activities.
Although the expert has pointed
out these difficulties that must be
overcome, many persons here credit
the Germans with some new and
.startlingly efficient device, the ma
sure of which is still a mystery in
the entente countries
