MOSCOW, March 19-The soviet gov
. ernment is rapidly disarming and dis
banding the old army and eliminating
its influence from public affairs. The
Moscow soviet has removed from its
executive committee all soldier repre-
sentatives, and similar action is taking
place throughout Russia. as the old
army is presumably out of existence
and not entitled to representation.
The new voluntary army will select rep
resentatives in the various Soviets The
old soldiers are unwilling at many places
to surrender their arms and return to
work. At Petrograd three regiments de-
clined to be demobiliZed. The bolShevik
red guards entered the barracks sur
prised the sleeping soldiers, seized their
arms and forced them to leave the city.

HOW THE GAMERS SAVE SUGAR
IN THE FACTORIES

Since the Government has limited
the amount OF sugjt which the
housewife may use for canning 10
twenty-five pounds per family. il
bchooves us TO make IL go as far
as possible. The Gamers have
worked out a table for saving sugar
in their canneries which the house
wife may use 10 advantage. Many
fruits should be blanched for the
purpose Of saving sugar. Plums,
grapes, berries and cherries being
the only exceptions.
Strawberries, raspberries, black
berries, loganberries. and cherries
require a syrup made Of two and
half pounds of sugar, 10 three
quarts Of water. The fruit must
be well washed, packed in the jars,
covered with the boiling syrup, and
steamed in the washboiler for
twenty minutes. II the Jars have
been used for other purposes they
should be sterilized by boiling them
five minutes after they have been
thoroughly washed.
Blueberries and huckleberries
require a syrup made Of two pounds
and a half Of sugar 10 four quarts
Of water, they must be steamed in
the washboiler or Gamer for TWEEN
ty minutes.
Cultivated grapes require a syrup
made Of one pound and nine ounces
OF sugar TO three quarts OF water.
Wild grapes require more sweet
ening. hence the syrup must be
made Of two and a half pounds OF
sugar. 10 three quarts. OF water.
Plums, both wild and cultivated,
call for two pounds and a half OF
sugar, TO four quarts OF water. Both
grapes and plums should be ster-
ilized in the boiler for twenty min
utes.
Currants and goOseberries should
be blanched for one minute, that is.

TO MEMBERS OF AGRICULTURAL
CLUBS GROWING SoYBEANS:

CLUBS GROWING SOYBEANS:
At this time, your soybean croT
should be we'll advanced and your
field should be free from weeds. As
| mentioned in my last letter, Gull
tivation may be discontinued when
the plants begin TO bloom, il the
crop has been we'll cared for
previous TO this time. The use OF
a horse cultivator after this stage
of growth is likely TO do some in
jury TO the crop by knocking of
blooms. However, if your field is
very weedy, it probably will be ad-
visabe for you TO go over your plot
with hoe.
Although harvest time is still a
little way Off, we should be con-
sidering the proper handling Of the
crop when il natures.
When grown mainly for seed.
soybeans should be allowed TO de-
velop fully. The best time to har-
vest is when most Of the leaves
have fallen, but before the pods
and stalk have become too hard and
brittle. This may be anywhere
from the middle Of August TO the
middle Of September, depending
upon the variety and planting date.
II allowed TO become too dry much
Of the seed will be shattered out
and lost. Soybeans are sometimes
cut for seed when the first leaves
begin to fall. II cut at this stage
practically as much seed is saved
as when the plants are allowed to
mature more fully and the straw
makes better feed than when more
mature.
In harvesting soybeans il is the
practice either TO cut off the plant
close TO the ground or TO pull up
the plant roots and all. On large
fields soybeans are usually harvest
ed with a binder, self-rake reaper,
or a mower. Smaller paintings,
such as you have, may be cut with
scythe or pulled by hand. After
cutting, the vines should be left in
small piles to dry out for a few
days. When thoroughly dry the
beans may be stacked, put under
cover, or threshed directly from the
field. Soybeans cannot be satisfac-
torily threshed unless thoroughly
dry. for when slightly damp the
pods are tough and much seed re-
mains unthreshed. In my next let
ter | will tell you how TO thresh
out your soybeans.
Yours very truly,

FIELDS THAT FIGHT FOR FREE
DOM

A field that fights for freedom is
one in which every art Of the farmer
has been used to make it yield a
maximum amount of food.
A wheat field that fights for free
dom will be one which has received
careful preparation, is supplied
with a plentiful amount of phos-
phorous and has been sown with
the best seed wheat available.
Stubble fields that are TO be sown
TO wheat this fall should be thoro-
ly disced before blowing and should
be plowed before August 10, as
wheat will not produce a maximum
yield unless the ground is firm and
compact
After the stubble field has been
plowed, it should be dragged down
promptly 10 level and pulverize IL
so as 10 conserve the moisture. II
should then be isc-harrowed, then
rolled and finally narrowed. The
better the preparation, the greater
the yield. and every field must do
its bes.
Soy bean and cow pea fields
must be thoroly finished by drag
ging and rolling, or the yield will
be disappointing. Every field that
grew tobacco this summer should
be sown TO wheat this fall, as wheat
does well following tobacco. A TO-
bacco field that is not sown TO wheat
will be Stacker field.
Only the best seed wheat should
be sown and the rate OF seeding
should be from ~ TO 2 bushels per
acre. The Kentucky Experiment
Station has proven that the best
variety is the Jersey Fultz. Wheat
should not be sown too deep. The
right depth is from 10 ~ inches.
All seed wheat should be treated
with blue stone or formalin 10 pre-
vent smut, because the wheat field
that fights for freedom will harbor
no smut

CORN IN SIL0 SAVES S37 AN ACRE
ON A 50-BUSHEL CROP
That is Value of Slower Left in
Field in Many Sections
Even if Slower is Saved and Fed,
The Loss in Dry Matter is Is to
as Per Cent-Loss in Silo
Very Slight

AT least 81 per cent of the diges-
tible material of the corn plant is
left in the slower when the ears
only are used. When corn is en-
SLED, this 81 per cent goes into the
silo with the SO per cent in the
ear. The Importance Of this saw
ing will be more apparent when
given a money value. With a yield
OF so bushels an acre, the value OF
grain is SIS, at $50 a bushel. Since
the slower contains more than one
third Of the food nutrients, IL Is
worth at least Y as much as the
grain, or $3.50. How many farmers
will willingly leave in the field
$3.50 an acre? Yet this is done in
sections OF the country where the
corn is husked and the slower left
in the field.
How Corn in Shock Loses
But suppose the dry slower is fed
as rOughage. Even then il is not
saved as completely as in silage.
When. under ordinary farm con-
ditiOns, corn is cured in the shock,
the loss of dry matter is approx
mately % per cent and may be as
high as IS per cent. These losses
are due TO the breaking Off OF leaves
by the wind and in handling, and
TO destructive lamentations. The
loss OF dry matter in the silo is very
slight when the silo is tight and
the silage well packed at the time
Of filling. As silage, the cornstalk
is consumed. but as slower, unless
il is shredded, only the leaves are
eaten, and even then, a great part
Of the stalk is discarded. Some
feeding experiments show that even
in shredded slower, the portion dis
carded is as high as 81 per cent.
This is in addition 30 the loss Of
dry matter during the curing pro-
cess.
Make Silage OF Immature Crop
Too frequently an unfavorable
season like that Of last year results
in the loss Of the whole corn plant
or in immature, soft corn that is
OF little value. BY far the best
method 90 utilize corn which is i'm
mature at harvesting time is 10
put IL into the silo. Even frosted
corn will make satisfactory
silage IL harvested at once. II 10
becomes dry. II may be saved by
adding water during the filling
process.
The making Of as much silage as
san he used will do much 10 conserve
