import, and as one man, they rushed
for the nearest exit. Before they
could gain the open the very air
seemed to burst into flame. the earth
heaved and rocked, and, with Q roar
that was heard for miles, the long fac
tory buildings were hurled high into
the air. carrying with them ponderous
equipment and scores Of men. A
great cloud OF dust and smoke settled
over the scene. and through its deadly
fumes torn and manglsd forms
dropped to tho earth. many dead. but
others to meet their end in the flam-
ing debris.
The number Of dad had not been
determined Saturday night. and It 10
possible that 1t may not be known for

State and county authorities agreed
that It would reach 200.
Many Of the injured. some Of whom

And these women lent valuable aid

dependent upon this country, a full
ration. At best there is going to be
lack. The American farmer must
awaken to a serious. realization that
this is no small task, in fact, it is
only a fighting chance.
II the American farmer will only
realize this, then he must recognize
that every blow he makes must count
for the utmost. Maximum yields
must be striven for as never before.
This is no time to leave anything
unemphasized that will count for
greater yields. Efficiency must oper-
ate with every act on the farm from
breaking the soil deeply to garnering
the crops with saving hand.
Thorough preparation of the seed
bed May be accomplished with less
labor than is customary, by the use
of labor saving farm machinery.
Liberal and rational applications of
plant food should be made this year.
Farmers who never used CONNER.
cial fertilizers before should certain.
ly do so now for the nations sake.
The same modern, labor saving
farm machinery that will enable q
farm hand to pillow two rows while
blowing one heretofore-and pillow
them better-must be made use of.
It's a hard fight all spring, summer
and fall for the American farmer
