CONSIDERED IDEAL WAR CROP
Why the Cultivation of Artlohokes Is
Being Encouraged by the French
Authorities.

Jerusalem artichokes, the sort grown
In Michigan, are being doomed in
France as an ideal war crop, for the
reason that they grow quickly and
abundantly In any kind OF ground ex-
cept that which is wet and marshy.
They derive most OF their sustenance
from the air and not from the earth.
but the richer the earth the larger
will be the tubers.
Henri Bin in La Nature gives soipe
instructions about their cultivation.
The tubers should be planted as soon
as the frost is out of the ground, at
depth Of from two to three inches, In
rows about u inches apart and about
nine inches between tubers. AS soon
as the shoots appear they are to be
narrowed; in May they are to be
earthed up and again In June. The
cultivation Is like that Of potatoes.
They may be harvested by the end
of October and the harvest will last
until the end Of March, for frost does
not injure the tubers at all, so they
may be left in the ground all winter.
Jerusalem nrtichokes will yield from
% to "a tons to the acre and 10 to -
tons Of excellent forage, which sho1ld
be cut in September.

{ LIZ w TRAINED To AID
\ BLIND FRENCH SOLDIERS
Training of dogs to lead the
I blind has become an important
! institution where thousands of
I animals will eventually be pre-
pared to lead sightless soldiers.
I The work is being done under
! the direction of the military au-
thoritles by amateurs who
! owned kennels of police and
hunting dogs before the war.
Several hundred poodles are
! continually trotting about the
nelghborhood and through the
! village, some of them "gradu-
atesn of the big training school,
! leading "pOiiuS" who left their
sight in the trenches or in the
7 battlefield. Ths real expert
ence puts the finishing touch
to the dogs education. The
! training is divided into two pc
RODS, during the first of which
the dog learns what is called

! stinence from quarrels and re-
slstance to temptations to play

garbage boxes and butcher

avoid obstacles and how to
I pick his way across the street
with regard to vehicles. Then
he is turned over 10 slghtless
! hero Of the war and kept under
observation for a few days to
make sure that his training is
complete.
The blind man, too, requires
J little training with the dog,
I for he finds II. an entirely differ

abandons himself TO his conduc-

 It is interesting to note that on the very day that MT. Paisley published his criticism of Colonel Thompson and MT. Schwab there appeared in the pubic press brief statement which was made by George w. Perkins. In this state ment MT. Perkoins asserts that indi- vidualism as it was formerly known is not to prevail from this time on, but that instead of 1t there will be estab- lished perfect cooperation, real com munity of interest, so to speak, between all the citizens, some of them men who work. as much as IS hours day as managers of industries, also between az gregat;ons of capital which are neccs- sary for the maintenance of great in- dustries, and the skilled artisans. That from another point of view is not unlike the position recently attributed to MT. Schwab and to Colonel Thompson. But If individualism as We now know 1t is speedily to be a thing of the past, MT. Perkins is persuaded that the oppor- tunltleS TOT the individual devoted to public service and yet reasonably intent upon securing competence for himself and his family are to be greater than they ever have been before. There is to be opportunity for creative work which represents the highest order of indi- yidualism. But the work must be sub- ordinated to the general interests of the community and not made exclusively the means whereby man can accumulate such fortune as will enable him to be numbered among the millionaires That men of the character of Mir. Schwab and Colonel Thompson and MT. Perkins should now be discussing these things and that man ot the ability and high service of MT. Easley should join in the
