GROWN PRINCE HAS
 NEW YEAR GREETING
Tells His Troops They Did Well on Blood-GOtten Ground of Yer
 dun and on the AiSne.

Amsterdam, Jan. 5.-The German crown prince, in New Years order to his army, praises its valor in the battles of the year just closed. The order as reproduced in the Dussel- dorf Nachrichten reads:
 "The year 1917 has gone down into history, and with it the deeds of my army. The French army stood ready on the Aisne and in the Cham pagne to deliver a great, decisive blow. An overwhelming superiority of men, arms and ammunition was counted upon to force victory for the enemy
 ''rThe assault sanguinarily collapsed before your faithfulness and bravery. You thereby broke the enemy's strength and paved the way to victory for German arms in Russia and Italy.
 Tn a tenacious struggle, relying only upon your own strength and your self-sacrifice and courage, in difficult battles on the Chemin-d des- Danes, in the Champagne and on the blOod-sodden ground of Verdun you protected the rear of the advancing armies in the east and south. In loyal comradeship you also fought in Flanders and near Cambrai for Ger many's honor.
 Proud, and with thankful heart, I behold you, my brave resolute lead CTS and my heroic troops. With an unstained shield and a sharp sword we stand on the threshold of the new year around the imperial war lord ready to strike and win, God with us. ''

CITY AND COUNTY
Are About the Same Physically Ac- COrdiDg to Reports from the War Department, Based on Draft.

Washington, Jan. 5.-The common belief that country boys are superior physically to those bred in the city is not supported by the records of the selective draft.
 A special comparison made by the provost marshal generals office be- tween ten large cities and ten rural countries in various parts of the country, shows that of 35,017 regis trants in rural areas 12,432 were dis rejected, while out of 44,462 regis trants in rurual areas 12,432 were dis qualified. The result was virtually Q tie. as 28.47 per cent. of the city boys were rejected as against 27.96 per cent. of the country boys.
 '"The country lad", says General Crowder's report Accustomed to hard labor. may be more muscular than his city cousin, but he is not superior in the possession of the degree of phy- sical scundness essential to his accep- tance a a soldicr'

10 SHUT OFF COAL
 FROM SOME SHOPS
Those of No Use to War. Will
 Suffer From New Order

Washington, Jan. 5.-Plenary au- thOrity to curtail and, if necessary, cut off the supply of coal for indus tries in New England not essential to the successful prosecution of the war, was conferred on James J. Storrow fuel administrator for that territory, by Dr. Garfield, fuel administrators. By the same order pr. Garfield di- rected the operators of 102 bituminous coal mines to load and fill promptly the number of coal cars indicated against such operators or producers name" in a schedule attached in the order
 Five hundred carloads of coal in ad- dition to their usual output is the de- mand made by Dr. Garfield on the mines, and all of the, cars are to be consigned to MT Storrow.
 At the same tint William G. Me- Adoo, director general of railroads, issued peremptory order directing that the number of cars specified in Dr. Garfield's ordtr be supplied each day to the mines designated.
 Thse orders went into effect inn mediately, and will remain in force until suspended of superseded by others
 Officials of the National Coal Asso- citation, when informed of the orders, said they would cooperate to the ex- tent of their ability. Today's action has been anticipated ever since Dr. Garfelds appointment. Curtailment of non- essential industries has been recognized as inevitable ever since the extent of the coal shortage became known.
 Government officials have refrained from designating any industries as mon essential" because they foresaw that such classification would result in great financial loss if not actual bankruptcy, to any industries so classified Great effort has been made also to enable such industries to con- vert their plants to the manufa cture of products essential to the conduct of the war, and many have been able to accor, plish this. Those manufactur. CTS, however, who have continued to manufacture luXurIes may now expect to be forced to curtail their output, and it is expected that many of them will be forced to close their factories at least temporarily and may be com pelled to suspend for the period of the war.

LABOR SHORTAGE THREATENS
PRODUCTION
The Fertilizer Industry Hard Hit by
the War.

The supply of fertilizer for 1919
spring sOwn crops is threatened by
-uortage of labor in the fertilizer fac
cries. This fact is of particularly Sc
Zious import to the potato farmers of
he country, for the great potato sec
ions are coming more and more to de-
lend on fertilizer for the economical
reduction of this crop. Thus it hap
lens that the very factor which pre-
ents factories running to full capac-
ity also has effect in preventing farm
ers from using their own depleted farm
labor supply to best advantage. Labor
cannot be used to advantage on those
fields which can give but half a crop.
The fertilizer industry is normally
a seasonal industry. About the first
of February the factories are normally
in full blast, producing fertilizer for
use on spring crops. Then they Idle

months in late spring and early sum-

supply of labor, supply which has
largely been eaten up by demands Of

Transferring the industry from a
seasonal basis to a full II months op-
Grating basis will certainly be econOm-
zeal Of labor. The factories can then
work at somewhat diminished daily
capacity for more weeks in the year,
and in this way get out the necessary
tonnage. 1t can't be done at once,
however, because factories do not have
storage space enough to allow Of this.
Goods must be shipped out almost as
fast as they are made-so that the
greatest possible output by the re.
stricted supply Of labor may be as.
sured.
If fertilizer users the country over
will order early, through accustomed
channels, and agree to take the goods
from the car on arrival, much may be
done to help insure a sufficient supply
for next springs business. Early or
dering, however, means NOW.

Corn (below) All Corn.

hogs and fat steers must later on be
marketed at the same time-to the
disadvantage of all concerned.
But-why grow soft corn, when
crop of hard corn costs less per
bushel?
Corn is planted when the soil Is still
cold, and just after the soil has been
leached by the winters rains. Avail
able plant food in the soil is lacking.
The reserves in the seed are soon ex-
hausted, and then the plant "hangs
fire"-makes no growth, remains small,
spindling, and sickly-until such time
as the weather warns up and soil
plant food begins to become available.
Available plant food. especially avail
