Since 1t is still evident that "ships
will win the war;" and that America
must supply most of the ships, our
national shipbuilding agencies were
reorganized last week for the fifth
time and Charles NJ. Schwab, chair
man of the board Of directors of the
Bethlehem Steel corporation. was CIV
en- the new position of director general
of shipbuilding and placed In supreme
control of the construction of mer-
chant vessels. Chairman Hurley of
the shipping board and General Man
ager Piez will work In complete har-
mony with him, directing the organi-
cation necessary to carry out his
plans. The necessity for some such q
step was shown by the official an
nouncement of the change which
said: "The carrying forward Of the
construction work In the 100 ship
Yards now In operation is so bad that
1t requires re enforcement of the
shipbuilding organization throughout
the country" The determination to
speed up shipbuilding was evidenced
by the warning issued by Mr.. Hurley
that delinquent plants will be taken
over by the government unless they
show decided Improvement.

that more and more of them were be-

greeted with enthusiasm by the Brit

their lines cannot be broken, know the

we'll might be held by the allied forces

Moreover, the commanders OF the

EARLY POTATOES.

rr a
Potatoes can be procured from 2 to
3 weeks eerlier than normal by plac-
ing the seed potatoes in full sunlight
about month earlier than it is Gus
tomary to plant potatoes. This
would be about the middle Of April.
these potatoes will then produce short
thick dark green sprouts that are
very tough. At planting time each
seed piece should contain at least one
Of these clusters Of buds. The pieces
should be planted carefully with the
buds upward. It will require only
half the time or less for plants to
come to the surface Of the soil from
sun sprouted seed than from normal
dormant seed potatoes. The pota-
toes will thereby be able to make a
very good growth during the cool part
of the year before the excessive heat
of summer. Potatoes which sprout
in the cellar producing long white
tender sprouts should not be used for
seed purposes as they will give poor
results. Potaoesl of an early variety
like Irish Cobbler and Early Ohio
should be used to secure best results.

SILAGE FOR FARM STOCK.

The value of silage for the dairy
COW is well understood, but its value
for beef animals and sheep is not so
we'll known. In Iowa silage has been
found very valuable for beef cattle.
By making silage the principal food
of the cows they could be fed through
the winter about as cheaply as in the
summer. For dry cows ration of
80 pounds of silage, a to s pounds of
clover or alfalfa hay and the run of
a straw stack and stalk field not only
carried them through the winter but
kept them gaining consistently. When
the cows were sucking calves they
were fed little grain.
Silage not only reduced the feed
cost for fattening steers, but also
helped make larger gains and the
silage fed cattle attained higher fin
ish in the same time and ordinarily
out sell the cattle fed dry ration.
At the North Dakota Experiment
Station it cost 46 cents less to make
a hundred pounds gain on steers fed
silage than on steers dry fed.
Silage was also found to be good
for sheep. Three to four pounds of
silage, half pound of alfalfa or clo-
yer hay, and half pound of oats per
day for breeding eve of $50 pounds
gave very good results. Silage is a
great milk producer and should usu-
ally be limited just previous to and
following lambing time.
This silage was made from corn
that was nearly mature. This is an
important point. Much better silage
can be made from corn that is i'm
mature. Nearly mature corn makes
a sour silage that has lower feed
ing value than the other. Another
point that the silage must not be
moldy .-Ex. Dept. N. D. Ayr.

FRENCH WOMEN THINK
HRsan,e HANDSOME
Commander Of the American
Army Is Popular With
People in France.

General Pershing. with his military
bearing. his manly air and his deferen-
tial courtesy toward women, il a
never-ending source Of interest to the
French people. Especially his last
mentioned trait has impressed itself
upon the French writer's. One of the
important Paris dailies has devoted q
series Of articles to. the American com.
mander's life history with sidelights
as to how he Is looked upon in France,
and a personal description Of the gen.
eral.
1t is as follows: "Tall, erect self
confident, he wears his uniform with
IN mir of genuine 'coquetterie' that
attracts the admiration of the entire
feminine populace of Paris. What a
handsome manv the women cry us
he passes by surrounded by his staff
officers.
"And, IL we mistake not, nothing
could be more flattering to this hon.
ored soldier. In the official recep.
tons. the banquets that are rendered
him, 1t Is the noble courtesy Of his
manners. the succinctness of his
words, the spirit Of the man that one
remarks in General Pershing. He is
not one who talks great deal, but
what he says, he says well.
when the first American troops
disembarked on our shores we cannot
forget the words with which the gen.
eral received them, For the first time
In history American soldiers find them
selves on the soil of Europe. The
good name Of the United States de.
mands that our conduct be ire
proachable. We must, every one of
us, show toward the Frenchmen, and
more particularly the Frenchwomen,
the most perfect courtesy and our re-
spectful Difference. The least repre-
hensible act would be doubly so here,
because it would be a breach of hos
pitality.'
Nothing morel No promises Of
epic glory! No laurel wreaths dis
tributed In advance! No flags wav.
ing over rose-crowned heads! But his
soldiers understood these few brief
words and showed a tactful discipline.
That is Pershing"
