NEW ORLEANS NJ
UMDERGOES A CHANGE

New Orleans.-The climate Of New
Orleans is undergoing a change. al
ready with an increase in temperature
since 1900 of eight degrees in summer
and a decrease of four degrees in whit
err. Dr. I. M. Cline, weather bureau
district %forecaster.. holds that the city
of New Orleans. itself, is responsible
because of the installation some years
ago of the ~sub-surface drainage sys-
tie. 7
The scientific explanation is that wa
ter absorbs heat more slowly than the
earth during he day and loses it less
rapidly at night. New Orleans, entire
ly surrouned by water and with it's
soil saturated. formerly boasted of a
more uniform climate. In late years,
however, levees have prevented ovre-
flows, reclamation projects have eff
fected the drainage of swamps and,
finally. sub-surface drainage in the
ciyt not only has eliminated surface
water from the street drains but
ground moisture has been lowered
eight or 10 feet.

SED|T|ON COMMON
IN AUSTRIAN FLEET
Serious Trouble Expected at
Any ~Time-Deserting Sol
diers Tell of Conditions.

Rome.-Concern is felt in Vienna
over the loyalty of the Austrian fleet.
This news. rumors of which have
reached this country fromstime to time,
is now confirmed by CZECH Slav SOL
diers who have fled from the Austrian
army hen they refused to fight their
brothers the Italians. Many of these
Czech II Slav refugees have. rela-
tons in the Austrian navy. Its sailors
are composed mostly of the ones most
oppressed by Hapsburg rule and an
other mutiny is expected at any time.
Only the severest measures on the part
of the higher officers nave been able
to keep down the spirit of revolt. The
ferment in the fleet exceeds that in
the army which has been recruited
from loyal subjects.
The best sailors. however. are drawn
from the CZechS and Slovaks, but above
all from the coast towns that belonged
to Italy or rather the republic of
Venice for fully 10 centuries. AS love
of country increases with travel, SO it
has attained it's most vigorous growth
among the natives who have remained
Italians at heart.
Details Of the mutiny in February
suppressed for months have reached
Italy. They show that it began mong
the arsenal worl,men at POla. They
demanded the cessation of various dis
ciplinary measures and punishments
inflicted both on shipboard and ashore.
The movement spread to the ships
in the harbor; the crews left their
posts and crowded the docks. shout
ing. hurrahing. and acting as they
pleased. The officers were powerlcss.
The naval authorities parleyed with
the men for n week. and finally granted
all their demands.
At Cattaro six cruisers and several
destroyers hoisted the red flag. The
German and Magyar elements aboard
some of the ships held aloof and there
were encounters between them and the
mutineers. The guns of one cruiser
were turned on another and m%uttneers
were killed. However. after three
days the mutineers captured the port.
Officers were seized. The admiral
was taken from his flagship and con-
fined on board another vessel. The
wireless was seized and used to COM
municate the demands of the men to
Vienna. The immediate conclusion OF
peace was foremost.

CLOSE THE POOL
HALLS TO KEEP
LABOR ON FARMS,
AID VISES DUIS.

Close the pool nails, eliminate
loafing places and conserve labor, is
the program that George =. Duis of
Grand Forks, speaking at the annual
convention in Fargo this morning
Of the Farm Managers association,
should be urged upon the North Da-
kota legislature in its forthcoming
special session.
Mr.. Duis suggested that the gov
ernor be given the power to close
pool halls in country towns, say
from July 1 to Nov. /, the speaker
contending that there isn't a man in
North Dakota who has any license
to loaf during that period in view
OF the labor situation, and the ne
cessity for producing the greatest
crop the nation has ever known.
Boys Not Trustworthy,
Mr.. Duis, as well as the other
speakers before the convention, urg-
ed the labor problem as the one
most vital to the welfare of the state
this year. Immediate steps must be
taken, he said, to insure an ade-
quate supply Of farm labor forI
spring operations, and q plan must
be- developed along acknowledging
lines to keep the farms supplied |
with help. The departure of so many |
young men for military service. he |
said, creates a critical problem.
Mr.. Duis also advises that city
boys were not, as a rule, acceptable |
as farm laborers, while retired farm |
ers who go back into the service.
have interests of their own, as a |
rule, and must give attention to
them.
U. s. To Aid Situation.
A paper by z. v. Wilcox, agricuI- |
turalist, Of the office Of farm man |
agement, Washington, d. c., was !
presented to the conference by ????? /

planned at length the plan for q. sur |
vey to determine labor needs. which /
will ut in with the survey that also |

This survey win be conducted with

pect to the enrolment of the city's

be used: and for siIage and fodder
seed that tests as low as 40 per cent
may be used but more kernels must
be planted.
The growing OF corn to clean the
land and restore soil fertility was
strongly urged by Mr.. Hettingers He
told of his experience where the
wheat production had fallen as low
as three or four bushels to the acre;
and, after raising corn and rotating
other crops, the same land produced
from 20 to Is bushels Of wheat.
IAN acre OF corn yielding 40 BUSH
els to the acre will produce $50
pounds Of pork said Mr.. Hettinger,
and we have produced as high as
$50 pounds from one acre."
Flint varieties and Northwestern
dent were recommended for planting
in North Dakota. Care in the early
cultivation to avoid covering up the
hills was urged. With a single Guilt
vator one man can cultivate six
acres in q day at the start and as
high as eight acres for later cultiva-
ton.
In answer to q question by Presi-
dent Waldron, Mr.. Hettinger said the
price OF seed corn is from SO to SIS
a busheI depending upon the germin-
alton percentage. A bushel will plant
eight acres and at the average price
Of $12, the cost per acre will be
$125.
