The tractor has an advantage over the horses in that it is not af- fected by heat, can be used for deep tillage, eliminates a great many hired man troubles, will work day and night and can be used to advantage the year round.
 But the tractor requires care just as does an animal. Some persons overload their work animals, and do the same thing when they begin op- erating a tractor. If you say any thing to them about it. they say, "Oh, it's a machine! What difference does it maker" Then, some day, the tractor will give down when most needed-and the manufacturer is to blame, of course

Potato land in many instances that should have pro- duced from 75 to 125 bushels to the acre made only 15 to 35 bushels of the crop, and was such inferior quality that it brought only from 30 to 40 per cent of the normal price. This was undoubtedly due to the fact that Arkansas has been the dumping ground for lot of worthless seed, and J. H. Tull, with the office of markets. extension division, old state house, Little Rock, urges Arkansas people to insist on certified seed be- fore buying, and will make trip to Wisconsin early in October to locate certified seed, which it is hoped the wholesale grocers will insist on buy ing for the next crop year.

POGROM HORROR GROWS;
POLISH BOYCOTT AGAINST
JEWS.

Warnings have been received by
the Zionist Organization of Ameri-
ca of a pogrom that may break out
at any moment in Czernowice, an
Austrian city which lies close to the
Roumanian border. The Jewish
National Council of Vienna reports
that large number of Roumanians
have already crossed the border
into Czernowice and have begun
agitation which must inevitably lead
to massacre unless immediate steps
are taken to prevent this new out
rage which it is feared will spread
to all of the Roumanian territory
recently occupied by German and
Austrian troops.

Der exceeds eleven hundred. Ten
thousand Jews are shelterless and
eighty per cent of the Jewish popu-
lation of Lemberg is absolutely ru-
ined.
The Polish population is very
much pleased with these pogroms,
says Reiner in his report, and the
Polish ladies and gentlemen walk
the streets even as the French gen
try walked the streets on the morn
ing following the massacre of St.
bartholomew, to enjoy the grue-
some spectacle. Not before the
morning of the 24th was martial law
proclaimed by the Polish COM
mander, although it's proclamation
on the END would have prevented
these massacres. Reiner charges
that this omission was deliberate.
He points out that after the procla-
nation of martial law only three
looters were shot, but not a single
officer or soldier of the Polish
Legion has been apprehended, al
though many of the Polish officers
who participated in the looting have
been recognized. After the pogrom
the Polish commanders issued a
proclamation in which they declared
that the excuses had been provoked
by Jews having shot at the legion
aires.
The Copenhagen Zionist office has
supplied the following details of the
boycotts against the Jews that pre-
vail throughout Poland and Ga1icia.
In Warsaw, blackedged posters
were put up all over the city con-
tanning the names and denouncing
as traitors all who had been selling
provisions to the Jews. At Wilma
all sales and all purchases from Jews
have been prohibited. Jews have
been excluded from the new Polish
army. At Cracow and in several
other cities, the Jewish militia,
hastily organized for the purpose Of
defence, has been disarmed.
The correspondent of the Vos-
sische Zeitung, which contained a
similar report, gives as the motive
for the pogroms the neutrality of
the Jews in the struggle between
the Polish and Ukrainian regiments
and the appeal for protection to
President Wilson.
Pogroms have occurred also in the
Polish Galician towns of ROzWadow.

Zionist Organization Of America
give details and absolute contlrma-
ton of the terrible pogroms report
ed in Lemberg and other parts OF
Galicia. Most of these details come
from prominent Lemberg journal
list, Max Reimer, whose reliability
is vouched for by the Copenhagen
Zionist Office.
He reports that the pogroms be-
gan in Lemberg Immediately after
the arrival in that city of Polish
Legionaires on November END. The
Legionaires stormed the Jewish
shops, plundered them and then
hawked the goods about for sale.
They attacked everyone who op-
posed them. AS proof that these
excuses we're sanctioned by the
military authorities if not organized
by them, Reiner points to the fact
that the Polish Commandant issued
proclamation giving leave to the
soldiers to plumber for forty-eight
hours. The Jewish militia was dis
armed and many members of that
body killed by the Legionaires.
After the Polish conquest of Lem
berg, the Polish Legionaires
marched into the Jewish streets in
double file under command of their
officers, Systematically plundering
all the shops, breaking doors open
with their rifle butts and hand
grenades.
On November 23rd, after all the
wine-cellars of the city had been
looted, the massacres began. At
first the legionaires slew several
Jews walking in the streets. After
ward they drove the Jews into their
homes and slaughtered whole fam
lilies. Several families were entirely
exterminated and several hundred
men and women who had fled into
the synagogues hoping the Poles
would respect these holy places met
death in the flames to which the
legionaires consigned the syna-
gogues. Those who attempted to
jump out Of the windows were shot
down. The number Of victims in the
synagogues was over a hundred.
The whole Jewish quarter was
cut off by the legionaires and every
house Systematically destroyed by
fire and bombs. People who fled
from the burning houses were
driven back BY DICTIONARIES using
