Barues to Foil U-Boats.

If actual trials prove the scheme to
be practicable, it is understood that in
order to check the depredations of the
enemy's U-boats, immense oceangoing
barges towed by powerful armed tugs,
may be used instead of steamships for
transporting freight through the sub
marine zones. Long, low-sitting, in
closed craft Of steel construction will
be tested Crews being unnecessary,
the barges are to be decked a few
inches above the water line so that
from a distance they will be practi-
cally invisible to periscope. AS Is
perhaps generally known, tub, be-
cause of its small size and compare
lively shallow draft, offers a torpe-
do a poor target. In gun duel, should
a U-boat risk q fight, the tug would
have nearly an even break with the
enemy.-Popular Mechanics Magazine.

they sell:

4. Country or locality Of or
igin in the case of the following
imported seeds: Beans, soy
beans, Turkestan alfalfa, and
red clover from southern Eu-

The seed trade has voluntarily agreed

High Price of Seed.

Never before has the price OF red
clover seed been so high as it is at the
present time, and never has the guam
tity of seed ON hand been so small in
proportion to the acreage to be seeded.
In years when the demand for any
kind of seed exceeds the supply, all
available seed is put on the market
and much Of the seed is of poorer quail
ity than in normal years. Therefore,
every farmer before sowing should
know what proportion of the seed he
buys cannot be expected to grow. II
one lot contains SO per cent Of seed
that will grow and another lot con-
tains Ga per cent of seed that will grow
ii will take three bushels of the "a per
cent seed to SOW the same number of
acres that two bushels of the SO per
cent will SOW.
This is important from the stand
point Of cost alone when red clover
seed Is selling for $40 or more per
bushel. 1t Is much more necessary,
however, to know the quality of seed
In order that the rate Of seeding may
be proportional to the quality so that
enough live seed will be sowed to in.
sure stand In the field. First know
how much Of the seed may grow and
then SOW accordingly.
