CORN CULTIVATION,

Corn should not be given deep cul-
tivation as it cuts many of the roots.
The corn roots run quite close. to
the surface. 1t is the plowed, soil
that has most of the available plant
food. Note the poor growth of the
corn plant in the dead furrow. The
surface the corn ~roots come is to
dig up few and then don't Guilt
yate deep enough to disturb them.

TWO PERILS FRONT
AUSTRIA IN PRAGUE

WASHINGTON, Mtg 2S.-The fol-
lowing official dispatch from Swi-
zerland gives new details Of the recent
disturbances in Prague:
THE Seydler Cabinet had not
thought to probe the functions at Pra-
que in celebration Of the Fifteenth an
niversary Of the Czech Theatre. But,
after the manifesto which made public
the triple Slav alliance, the Govern
ment decided to deal vigorously.
THE city filled with troops. The
representatives of the Polish, Italian
and Jugo-Slav Nationalist parties
were expelled. Numerous arrests were
MADE and it was also announced
prosecutions would be instituted
against the leaders on the charge Of
high treason,
THE anxiety of the Austrian Gov
eminent is strongly evident The
Marseillaise has resounded in the
streets of Prague and an excited
crowd attemptaed to set fire to the
Kalsergarten.
National passions have broken
loose. and Won Seydler finds himself
between two alternatives, either to
temporize and arouse the hostility of
the Berlin Government, which is evil
DENLY preparing to intervene soon in
the internal affairs of Austria, or
adopt a policy of pitiless repression,
which would ultimately make the
Czech masses rise in revolt and would
threaten the monarchy with the most
serious difficulties
A telegram from Berne says the
repres eptatiye Of the Popular Polish
Party, whose aid has been sought by
Premier Seydler in an effort to off
gsot the Czech detection, was inter
viewed by the paper Bencow and de-
clared that his party is favorably dis
posed toward an alliance with the
Czechs. Referring especially to the
arbitrary measures enforced by the
Austrian Government in Bohemia, he
said that all Poles are in sympathy
with the Czechs.

.SAUERKRAUT GERMAN?.
HOOVER SAYS ITS DUTCH

WASHINGTON. May 3O.-Sauer-
kraut, on account Of its supposedly
German name and origin, is riding
to obscurity The Food Administra-
ton issued statement to-day saying
that it Seems to be loosing its popu-
larity as an American DISH and ap-
pealing to the people to remember that
1t came from Holland, not Germany.
"The administration" said the an
nouncement, has learned That through
out the country men and women in
their patriotic zeal have been spread
ing a strong propaganda to discourage
the use of a valuable foolstuff.
CAS- a matter of fact, the dish is said
to be of Dutch rather than CT German
origin. In any eXent, sauerkraut is
a valuable food and adds to the variety
in which cabbage may be prepared. It's
wider use woudr no doubt stimulate a
greater use of cabbage and would
futher the Food Administrations cam
paign for increased consumption of
perishable foodstuffs and a greater
saving of the staple foods needed
abroad.
mo matter by what name it may be
Known as sauerkraut is a valuable food
md its use should not be curtailed as
a result of overzealous and ill-advised
patriotism"

CASE AGAINST DEBS
ALMOST COMPLETE

Cleveland, o., Sept. 10.-The gov
ernment's ase against Eugene v.
Debs. Socialist leader, charged with
violation Of the Espionage act, in a
speech at Canton, Ohio, June 16. was
made plain in the United States dis
trict court here today and District
Attorney Wertz said hat he would
complete his evidence tomorrow FORE
noon. The following, in substance,
constitutes the governments
At Canton, Debs prefaced his re-
marks with the statement that IT
must be careful what I say and more
careful how I say it."
His alleged offense specifically is
that by indirection and insinuation in
this speech it was his intent to affirm
the war program of the Socialist
party at St Louis in June, 1917. This
program is outspoken in opposing the
war and pledges the party to oppose
conscription. II
Although in his speech MI. Debs
evaded direct affirmation Of the "war
program" witnesses were introduced
to show that this was really what he
intended to convey. Clyde r, Miller,

Debs at Canton n again two weeks

gram and was ready to die for it.

CONDITIONS
in GERMANY SAID
TO Be CRITICAL

Copenhagen. Sept. 1.-THE Ger
man socialist party. and the Trade
Unions sent a communication to
Chancellor Won Hertling recently
pointing out the growing dissatisfac-
ton among the population because Of
insufficient food.
In the communication as published
in the socialist newspaper Vorwaerts
on Monday the conditions are char
acterized as critical. Numerous .
plications to the food administration
for relief have been without result, it
is declared. The workers and the
middle class Of the population are
represented as unable to pay for food
that is most necessary for them and
physical exhaustion has been caused
together with increased mortality
among the children and the aged.
The statement asserts that the win
ter allowance Of potatoes will be only
eve pounds weekly. It adds that
the government is aware Of the ex-
element among the people over these
conditions and 1t declares that the
situation will grow more critical II
the government does not cease favor
ing the producing interests and pro-
vide sufficient food for the popula-
ton.

ENGLISH WOULD
MAKE ONE GAME
OUT OF TWO
Famous Sport Writer would
Combine Baseball With
.. Cricket.

New York. Sept. 11.-Although
there is already considerable talk
about the reconstruction Of baseball
after the war it is doubtful If either
English critics or fans will be per-
mitted to inject methods or theories
now being advanced. There is no
doubt that the game is rapidly gain
ing popularity among the younger
generation of Englishnen. both at
home and back Of the trenches, but
the average critic still clings to
cricket n would combine certain
features of hat game with baseball.
In a lengthy article on the Amer
lean sport recently published in one
Of the most prominent magazines
the writer laments that the foul"
of baseball should be absolutely
wasted so far as run production is
concerned. He would have his par
ticular feature of the play advanced
to the same point of Importance hat
the 'snick" occupies in cricket. The
author presents his cas- as follows:
The snick or orner stroke is I'M
doubtedly h o spectacular hit in
baseball; indeed, it is practically the
only spectacular stroke, except the
hit out of the ground, which occurs
once in a blue moon.
1T seems a very great pity that
this corner stroke is merely thrown
away in baseball. In making the
stroke the batsman hits as usual with
a horizontal bat, and getting just UNI
der the ball sends it at a very great
pace to a tremendous height behind
him, and sometimes to a considerable
distance"
Big league magnates with hun
dreds Of thousands Of dollars tied up
in baseball parks and grandstands
are not likely to receive this implied
suggestion. with any particular cries
of joy. The English critic, failed to
see the fearful possibilities of his
plan. In order to make the foul
a run producer it would be necessary
to provide a playing field back Of
the home plate. This would mean
the moving Of the grandstand far
back of its present position, which
would hardly meet with the approval
of the fan. Additional fielders would
also be required. The new fail terri
tory could hardly be patrolled by less
than three fielders who would, of
course, have to take a urn At bat so
thai in place Of nine men on a side
the teams would be composed Of
twelve players. Radical changes
have been made in the baseball code
from, time to time out it Is not likely
that the magnates will be able to see
their way clear to make this conces-
sion even to improve its status
abroad.
Baseball as played behind the lines
by American soldiers is not always
