Reports from outlying parts Of
London say that the gun defence

be found in Austrian internal condi-

RED CROSS.

The New England Division Of the Amer
lean Red Cross and its Chapters, since
the official announcement on November
18th, that Germany had signed the terms
of armistice presented by the Allies, and
hostiIities had ceased, have received hun
dreds of inquiries asking whether the
Red Cross will now end its vast activities,
and ask it's thousands of faithful workers,
men and women, to dispense. The war
has left problems as great and as import
ant as the emergency problems created
by the war. No one government, no
single organization alone can solve them.
The sudden dawn of peace brings the need
of immediate action to relieve the I'M
imaginable suffering born of the war.
Having met the emergencies OF world
conflict in a way of which it may justly
be proud, the American Red Cross will
not abandon the greater opportunities OF
reha bilitation and permanent world-peace,
and the New England Division, through
its members and workers. expects to as
sumo its share of the tasks at hand.
Every form of Red Cross activity, with
one exception, must be continued lndefl-
nitely, and much of the work must be in
creased The exception is the surgical
dressings work. This must cease at once
as supplies adequate to meet any demand
are availa BILE. But the surgical dressings
organization is not to be abandoned. The
women who have so splendidl;' met every
demand of our medical service for dress
ings of all kinds are needed Immediately
in other departments.
Let it be clearly understood by every
member and every worker in the New
England Division that their support and
their services are needed now more than
ever before. Let every worker remain at
his post of duty. The tasks of rehablll-
tation and peace may lack the drama and
excitement of war emergency, but they
are as vital to the Well-belng OF the
world and carry with them the satisfy
ing thought that they are constructive
and of lasting value.
At this time, the words with which
Abraham Lincoln closed his Second In
augural come to US with the sound OF
prophecy: with malice toward none,
with charity for ali; with tirmness IN the
right as God gives us to see the right, let
us strive on to finish the work we are IN;
to bind up the Nations wounds; to do all
which may achieve and cherish Just
and lasting peace among ourselves and
with all nations.
Icannot help feeling that the tremend-
Gus responsibility of binding up the
wounds of our nation and our allied ma
tons after this war will fall largely on
the American Red Cross, which must
dedicate itself to the great task with the
same high spirit and energy that has
characterized all of its work in this war.
We have attained our objects by unity
of spirit-by splendid CO. operation-and
in just that spirit of cooperation we must
face the problems of the future.

FERTILIZER INDUSTRY APP
PEALS FOR EARLY ORDERS
Shortage of Labor Reflects on Coun.
trys Food Production.

BY the irony of fate, two of the in
dustries upon which the production of
food depends have been most seriously
crippled by the call of war. These are
farming and the manufacture of fer
tiiizers. Both have been hard hit by
the shortage of labor, and the fertilizer
business particularly has suffered by
having its most important raw mate
rails taken over by the government for
the manufacture of munitions.
By working hard and utilizing labor
saving machinery and meth' is to the
fullest degree, both have managed to
produce their usual quota of goods so
far, but it is hard to say how long this
will last.
The fertilizer industry is even now
sending out an appeal to its customers
to order and accept for shipment in
November and December, goods which
would normally go out in February
and March. This it seems will mate
rally lessen the pressure in the spring,
which has always been the peak of
production" period. By spreading the
manufacturing and shipping season
over a longer period more goods can
be made, even with fewer men.
This request ought to meet with a
hearty response from the farmers. Not
only will it insure more fertilizer,
which is badly needed, but it will help
the farmers by spreading their labor
over the time when they have the least
to do. Hauling fertilizer to the farm
takes time and labor, and if it can be
done in winter, when there is least to
do, and removed from the spring sea-
son when there is most to do, it ought
to react to favor both producer and
consumer.

only two fist-big potatoes to hill.
The average yield of the United
States, however, is slightly less than
one such potato to hill
Now for the figuring. There are
about 1000 hills to the acre. At least
there should be, with normal planting
When there are not approximately this
number it means that the seed was
poor, or the man on the planter went
to sleep, or the soil was in poor condi-
ton, or that there really wasn't plant
food enough to grow a good crop.
Not every hill can be like the illus
tratjon. That would represent 400
bushel crop. Many soils can't furnish
plant food enough unless helped out
by fertilizer Yet it costs just as much
to pillow and plant for an average 100
bushel crnp as for one that goes 400.
1t costs just as much for seed and it
costs just as much for land rent. The
big difference is on the income side.
The bank account for a 400-bushel
crop is what makes it so attractive.

POTATO FEELINGS.

Discard the seed potatoes which
show "small, black dirt specks that
won't wash off" These are usually
about the size of a pin head, and in
stead of being dirt ere caused by a GER
tain disease-the niZoctonia disease
of potatoes. This causes heavy pro-
duction of potatoes too small to mar
ket.
Available ammonia Cor nitrogen) in
potato fertilizers is needed so that
growth may start almost Immediately
after planting. At best the potato is
q poor forager. The bulk of its plant
food must be in available form.
When potatoes fail to bottom out
well, even when growth has been good,
it is an indication of poorly balanced
plant-food ration-usually of scarcity
of potash in the fertilizer.

Apples.

At meeting held in Auburn last June
at the close of the annual meeting of the
Maine Fruit Growers Exchange, COM
mittee was appointed to investigate and
make suggestions as to the varieties of
apples to recommend to the orchardists
of this State to take the place of. the
Baldwin in localities where this variety
was so badly winter-killed last winter.
This committee consisting of Frank H.
Dudley, State Horticultural, DR.. G. M.
Twitchell, W. H. Conant, President of
the Maine Fruit Growers E: change, q.
C. Clements, President of the Maine
Pathological Society, and w. L. Bonney,
President of Cathance Fruit Growers
Association, held a meeting in Portland
during the week of the New England
Fruit Show, and, after careful considera-
ton, recommended that in localities where
the Baldwin was not winter killed the
planting of this variety be continued.
In sections where it is inadvisable to
continue the planting of the Baldwin, it
is suggested that the Tolman Sweet, Attic,
Pewaukee, the Fallawater, and natural
fruit be planted. These are sturdy varie-
ties onto which grating can be done, but
they should be left ungrafted until few
more winters have demonstrated whether
or not the Baldwin is going to continue
being winter killed.
The Mcintosh Red was strongly recon-
mended for local markets, but not as a
commercial variety as it does not stand
shipping well. In all sections where a
standard variety of high color and good
quality withstands the severity of our
winters, we urge their increase.
Signed by order of Committee.

The KIND OF POTATOES YOU
LIKE TO GROW

Did you ever do any figuring on the
ease of getting big crop of potatoes?
If not, let's do it. But before we be-
gin just make guess as to how much
you must get in each hill to make a
really worthwhile yield.
A potato of the size of your fist
weighs about half pound. If you av-
erage only two of these to a hill, or
four tubcrs just half as large, YOU
have a pound to hill. Yet nobody
who claims to be potato grower will
ever admit that he is satisfied with

THE RAILWAY ADMINISTRATION
ASKS FOR EARLY DlSTRlBU'

Washington, D. G. - The United

farmers, agents and dealers all over

spring fertilizer moved at the earliest
possible moment. Winters congestion
may this year, as last year, reduce
movement of fertilizer. Fertilizer
shipped now insures at least part

gave their lives In the war. but trees
in honor OF the allies, an avenue OF

letter to Charles Lathrop Pack. presl-
dent Of the association, Mr.. Conklin
says:
There is no more suitable method
of COMMUNICATING the deeds OF
heroism of our soldiers and sailors.
Let the memorial trees be planted; let
them be put in prominent places let
the cult which commentaries heroism
and sacrifices be preached anew and
our whole people be brought to a
realizing sense OF the terror and
threatened destruction through which.
happily, we have just come. The
value Of the memorial tree over the
inanimate stone or bronze lies in the
fact 1t is a living thing and more
potent agency in keeping afresh the
memory Of the dead than any other
memorial that could be ere:ted by
