ENGLISH FARMERS NEED LABOR
RECRUITS

Farmers in England have lately ex-
pressed the opinion that they have
rather hard row to hoe, as result
of the great demands of the war. The
labor supply of the island had been
hard hit by CONSUMPTION, but the Wo-
mems Land Army has given excellent
service.
Recently the governmnt comman-
deered some of the best wheat land in
England for the erection of great
war plant. So urgently was the new
plant needed that soldiers in khaki
were put to work tearing up the
ground and throwing the wheat crop
aside to rot. The farmers protested
at first, but were informed that the
other needs of the government were
even greater than the need for the
wheat crop. The farmers, despite their
difficulties, have given the government
splendid support.

DANGER OF REVOLUTION

Socialist Leader Repudiates Violent

Extremists Are Said to Be in
Hopeless Minority.

Rotterdam, November 21-There is
no revolution in Holland, nor is there
likely to be. Peter ]. Trielstra, the
Socialist leader, speaking to a great
labor congress here, at which 1888
trades unions and labor organizations
were represented, not only repudiated
violent methods, but admitted that his
earlier bellicose utterances had re-
suited in a misunderstanding of his
position. Extremists who would in
troduce Bolshevism> are in a hoeless
minority in Holland. Soldiers and
civic and labor societies desire reform,
but by lawful methods. Small out
breaks occurred recently as a result
of warstrained nerves. There was an
overwhelming response to the call for

AGENT STARTS SORGHUM MILL

The county agent. in Buena Vista
County, Iowa, found way to handle
the sorghum crop after the growers
had given up the problem because of
the labor scarcity. The agent. located
an old horsepower crusher about 4
miles from Storm Lake With the help
of retired farmer he brought it to
a vacant lot where water and gas
connections could be obtained from
the city. A shedNof rough timber was
erected and water pipe put in from
a nearby house Gas was also piped
so that it could. be used for cooking
and, save labor. The mill is now in
operation, and several tons of sor-
ghum cane have been ground. Small
er mills are taking care of sorghum in
other parts of the county.

NATIONAL AGRICULTURAL ADVIS.
DRY BOARD SPEAKS

Governor II. c. Stuart. chairman of
the National Agricultural Advisory
Board, recently gave out the follow
ing important interview:
"The present and continuing de-
mand of the world on the United
States for meats. carries an impress
sive lesson in the value of live stock
Improvement Had we not introduced
throughout the country pure bred
sires. the product of pure bred herds
and focks, thereby multiplying many
times the weight and quality of our
meat-producing animals, we would
have been unable to supply recog-
nized essential in winning the war.
The International Live Stock EXPOSE
ton, held each year during the first
week in December, has for a number
of years played an important and
leading part in the campaign for a
universal spread of live stock i'm
provement. 1t is at once an educa-
tional institution and an inspiration
in field of ever-increasing import
ance. The best of all domestic ami
mails meet there for final appraise-
ment in a fair and generous contest
for supremacy, but as between diff
ferent beef breedqs and as between
different specimens of the same breed
There the standards of excellence are
fixed by actual demonstration, and
thus the essential lessons in breeding
are made annually available to the
thousands of fiackmasters throughout
the country. On behalf of the Nation
al Agricultural Advisory Committee
and on my own behalf as a breeder
and producer of live stock, l wish to
endorse the international" unreserv-
eddy, to commend it for the great work
which it has done and is nov doing
and to express the hope that the at
tendance at the forthcoming exhibit
ton may be such as to five fresh as
surance that the breeders and feed
ers of the country are alive to the
weighty responsibilities which rest
upon them, not only as factors in sup
plying the sinews of war, but as hold
ers of the blood reserve from which
the wasted herds OF other lands may
be built up in the approaching days
of peace"

the pots the earth in the bottoms of
the pot will be completely covered
with rootlets. The bulbs should then
be brought into a slightly warmer
place with some light for three or four
days and then gradually brought into
greater warmth and full light Dur
ing all the period of growth the
ground should be kept moist without
being water-soaked, @
Narcissus takes about five weeks to
develop from the time it is brought
into full light. Hyacinths take a long
er time, and tulips about the same
| time as hyachinths. The Roman hya-
oinths come in a little less time, while
the paper white mnarcissus takes only
| about four weeks. 1t is hard to hold
the paper white narcissus for late
winter. Hyacinths are hard to bring
| into bloom before February. The var
ious forms of the yellow narcissus can
| be brought into bloom from December
| until the time for outdoor blooms by
! starting the bulbs early in the fall and
| bringing them into the light at inter-
walls of week or ten days, For the
earliest bloom it is desirable to get the
bulbs started as soon as the first of
| October, and all of the bulbs should
| be planted before the moiddle of No
vember.
Tulips are difficult to get to dover,
but it may be done by February or
March by special care and attention.
1t is best to place the pots or pans
in box and cover the whole pot with
at least inches of additional soil or
| ashes, and leave them there until the
bud has pushed clear above the pot,
| otherwise the bloom will be straingled
in attempting to get out of the bulbs.
Instead, of placing in the cellar, the
| pots and boxes containing all these
bulbs may be buried in the open
ground, the receptacles being covered
with at least inches of soil. If the
ground is apt to freeze, hard, then a
| heavy coating of manure should be
added as soon as the first crust freezes
over the bulbs. This layer of manure
will prevent their freezing and will
permit the bulbs to be removed to the
house from time to time as needed.
Hyacinths, paper white narcissus, and
especially the Chinese sacred lily are
frequently grown in water. Special
glasses for these bulbs may be pur-
chased, in which they may be success
fully grown, or they may be placed in
any attractive dish and supported by
pebbles. SThe water should be kept so
that 1t touches the bottom of the bulb
