Washington.-RecOgnItlOn OF the
Czecho-Sl0vak nation on September 8
by the United States government as
~sures the Czechs of northern Austria
Of standing in the league of nations
Since 1t follows similar action by
Great Britain, France and Italy, 1t may
have a far-reaching effect on the war
situation. 1t is expected to produce
n new alignment OF demands upon
Germany and Austria Hungary at the
peace table.
The first effect of the American gov
ernment's action, state department Of
ficials said, Will be in the opening of
the way to furnishing much needed
war materials and supplies to the
Ezecho-Slovak armies operating in
Fiberia and southern Russia. Finan-
riai assistance also can be given and
while no request for such aid has vet
been made, 1t is expected and officials
said 1t would be granted.
Officials say the CzechO-Slovaks. if
properly equipped, would be able to
make a more serious offensive. The
Czechs in Russia and Siberia are anx-
Lous to re-establish an eastern front
and are said to lack only equipment
and moral support. 1t is estimated
there are from 100000 to 100000
Czecho-Slovaks in Russia and Siberia.
These, with the aid of such military
assistance as Is being furnished by
The United States and the allies and
he large numbers of Russians which
hey may attract are expected to sue
cessfully combat German and Aus
.rian aggression in the east.
In extending recognition to the
Czecho-Slovaks, the United States
vent further than Great Britain and
France by recognizing the Czecho- Slo-
yak national council as a de facto bel
igerent government.

The war emergency brought a great
increase in the number of farmers,
farm women, and boys and girls in-
structed by county agents In problems
of greater food production and con-
servation.
According to reports to the Office Of
extension work South, of the states
relations service, 303,723 farmers in
the Southern states were reached dur
ing 1917 with definite demonstration In
the growing of crops. raising and feed
ing of live stock, marketing and other
problems. The number of acres COW
cred by the crop demonstrations alone
In 1917 was 1851. 4S5. In addition to
these a conservative estimate OF the
number of farms directly reached by
the county agents In 1917 Is 4 ESQ. 900.
The figures represent about 60 per
cent of all farms In the South.
Agents are giving advice and help
in one way or another to nearly every
one with whom they come In contact,
and the direct and indirect influence
of the county agents work and the
proportion of the farmers reached is
thought to be much higher than the fig

Where an early crop is grown, the
date of harvesting Is largely governed
by market conditions. II the price is
high, crop may often be harvested
prOftably when 1t Is bNIf or two-thirds
grown, whereas If prices are low it is
generally advisable to allow the tu-
bers to reach full development before
they are dug. In the case of late varl-
cites destined for winter consumption
It is the usual practice to delay har-
vesting as long as it is safe to do so
without running unnecessary risk Of
freezing the tuberg.
Use Elevator Digger.
With few exceptions, the potato
crop is harvested with an elevator dig
ger drawn by horses. When the crop
is sold from the field, 1t is q common
practice to sort and sack the potatoes
as they are picked up. The sorting or
grading of potatoes in the field is most
economically done by using a potato
grader Of the shaker or belt type.
These graders are mounted upon
wooden sled and are hauled along
By q horse. The sorter has two

aThs Fool Hath saId.w

This is a message from one who
overwhelmingly Dawson-to those
who do not realize. 1t is q message
direct from the trenches in France by
a soldier and writer to us behind the
lines. He says:
Life has swung back to a primitive
decision since the war commenced.
The decision is the same for both
men and nations. They can choose the
world or achieve their own souls.
They can cast mercenary lots for the
raiment OF crucified righteousness or
take up their martyrdom as disciples.
Those men and nations who have been
disciples together can scarcely fail to
remain friends when the tragedy il
ended. What the fool says in his
heart at this present moment Is not
of any lasting importance."-Red

ITALY HAD FIRST PAWNsHoP
From That Country the System oradW
ally Spread Over the Rest OF the
Civilized World.

The French call them monts-de-piete,
but no satisfactory explanation for this
nomenclature is Forthcoming. The es-
adjustment of municipal pawnshops in
France was attended with more diff.
Guilty than was the case in other counr
tries.
1t is from Italy that the idea Of mu.
nicipal pawnshops spread over the rest
of Europe. A municipal pawnshop was
set up In Madrid in the year 1908,
when a priest with very little capital
opened up as an ''uncle." The system
was tried at Avignon in 1877, but II
was not until the year 1777 that Paris
itself was provided with a mont-de-
piete. The national assembly upset the
monopoly and the business passed into
private hands. The extortions of the
pawnbrokers in time led. however, to
a demand for the establishment of
the governmental institutions. In 1905
Napoleon re-established the monopoly,
regulating 1t by laws that are still in
force. The interest charged amounts
70 about per cent.
In Paris the mont-de-piete is in effect
a department of the administration,
but in the provinces 1t is a municipal
monopoly.
