The practice seems to have been com

HUNS DIDN'T Get
UKRAINE GRAIN

Northumberland the many easy
triumphs which enabled the TeutOns
this year TO slice great sections from
the map of Russia. like coupons from
u bond, Germany and Austria both suf-
fered one frightful disappointment.
And the pang was in the weakest part
of their political anatomy-the collec-
tive stomach of their peoples.
The grain of which the two kaisers
expected to plumber the Ukraine was
not there-at least there was so little
of it that Germany had to lower her
to starve a bit more rapidly. The sup
plies had been burned.
These fires were lighted, with kind
of poetic justice. by the remnants of
the Czecho-Slovak army-deserters
from the Austrian ranks and invet-
crate enemies of the Hapsburgs, who
had been reconstructed into Russian
military units under the Kerensky
regime and fought so splendidly for
Russia before the whole nation col
lapsed from the gnawing Of the boil

SlOvak army had been stationed In the

HOW TO SHIP NEW POTATOES
Prevent Losses by Loading Them Care.
fully Into Cars-Double-Headed
Barrel Is Good.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of AgricultureD
Shifting of the loads in transit, weak
and partly filled packages, and lack OF
ventilation are responsible for losses
in many cars Of new potatoes which
are arriving ut markets. The loading
of diseased potatoes is also responsible
for considerable loss. In some cases
shipments that show scab wilt or late
blight are practically worthless when
they reach the market.
The double-headed barrel appears to
be the best package for new potatoes
that is now in general use. II proper
ly made it protects the potatoes as
well as holds them in place. Much
less breakage has been found in cars
where the barrels are loaded on end
than when loaded on their bilge. Strips
should be placed on top of the lower
layers of barrels for the upper layers
to rest upon.
Loading barrels on their bilge Is not
safe practice unless headliners
(strips to prevent heads bulging) are
used. 1t is said that the use of head
liners would prevent nine-tenths of the
breakage in all types of loads with
barrels. Extra bracing is needed when
barrels are loaded on their bilge.
The sack is not a suitable cOntainer
for tender new potatoes; 1t offers no
protection from bruising. and when
loaded Is hard to ventilate. II sacks
are to be used they should be of no
greater capacity than 100 pounds. The
smaller sack could be handled with
much greater care and would lend it.
self to ventilation better.
Hampers are not suitable packages
for potatoes. They do not have the
necessary strength for the weight Of
their contents and offer little prOtec-
ton. AS long as hampers are used for
potatoes and other heavy produce there
will be severe loss from breakage. II
used they should be loaded on end and
alternate baskets inverted. Great care
should be taken to make the load tight.
and no slack space should be allowed
in the car. This will lessen the chance
of shifting.
Crates of various sorts are being
used, and appear satisfactory where
the strength Of the crate is sufficient
for the weight Of its contents. Weak
crates should not be used under any
circumstances, and crates with wide
openings tend to wilt the potatoes
while I'm transit Crates must be load
ed tight and firm. and no slack space
left under any circumstances without
suitable bracing. while stripping is rec
commended.

KEEP SHEEP FLOCK
TO CONTROL WEEDS

prepared by the United States De-
partment Of Agriculture.)
One of the best and cheapest
ways to control weeds on farms
is to keep a flock Of sheep. In
addition to controlling weeds
without cost, sheep will render
n profit by producing nutritious
food and wool, and will assist
materially in meeting demands
on the nation for meat and wool
production. II weeds are not
permitted to grow and develop
leaves they will die, but II
would require q great amount
of hard labor to keep most
weeds under control by this
method. Sheep viii keep the
weeds down and the more
weeds they eat the less will be
their cost Of upkeep, and the
greater will be the supply of
food released for other stock.
Many rough or permanent grass
pastures that require moving
can be kept clean by the use of
sheep, while at the same time
the cattle-carrying capacity of
the pasture Is increased.
