INCREASED DEMAND
 FOR BLACKBERRIES
About as Profitable as Any Other Berry Crop-Large Crops
 Obtained Each Year.

Growers are discovering of recent years that the common, homely black berry is after all about as profitable as other berries when everything is taken into consideration.
 The blackberry will not only grow under adversities that would not be endured by other species of fruit plants but 1t is a surer bearer year after year than either the strawberry or raspberry, and uniformly produces large crops.
 The demand for this berry on the market is constantly on the increase, as hOusekeepers are finding it is the easiest to put up in cans, the least ex- pensive to buy is relished equally to any in the winter for its tart flavor, and makes the best of all pies.
 Yet though it will flourish under neglect that would kill the raspberry, the blackberry responds just as read fly and just as protitably to good treat ment as it's brothers.
 It, too, has its requirements if its higher perfections are to be attained, if it is to do anything like it's best.
 The first and greatest requisite for successful blackberry culture is a deep, loose, rich soil. Moisture is the most important point of all and so bottom land is the best location but it must be we'll drained and not seepy or swampy.
 The blackberry makes a very exten- sive root system and will travel for yards in search of food; this enables it to mature a crop with less fertiliz- ing than other berries, but still the blackberry will repay high feeding and an abundant supply of plant food in the ground Is fully as large fold as any plant that grows.
 What the blackberry will bear un- der most favorable conditions and the size its berries will reach would sound well nigh incredible to many, and it is a source of constant wonder and ad- miration to those who see it annually.
 It is quite possible to grow black berries by the acre in the same pro- fusion as these, by simply giving the same conditions of soil and cultiva tion; and I am thoroughly convinced that such intensive cultivation would pay far better than the common meth

MEASURE IS DISCUSSED

-fNSOhG lS OlSSO 00G6 WASHINGTON, June 25.-EXtension of the draft ages above and belo;r the existing liEits-21 to 31 years-was discussed at length in the senate to lay.
 During the discussion Senator Fall revised his amendment which changed the ages IS and 45, making the ages 20 and 40 and eliminating a provis- ion that youths under 21 should i ), -e cal cd into active military service.
 Disposal of the amendment anu 6 si;stitute by Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska went oyer until tomorrow, with sentiment apparently evenly di- vided In the meantime some senators regarded it as probable that some ex- pression might come from the admin istration in view of report that Pres ident Wilson opposes any change for the present
 The Fall amendment was vigorously ported by Senator ChamberlaIn yt OTegan, chairman of the military con- mittee and Senators Cummins O. Iowa, Reed of Missouri and others. OppOsi- tion was voiced by Senators Thomas of Colorado, McKellar of Tennessee and Kirby of Arkansas, all democrat ic members of the military committee while several other senators declared they favored raising the minimum draft age, but opposed lowering the minimum.
 Senator HitchcOck's substitute anendTcnt fixes the age limits at 70 and 70 respectively and provides that citizens of the allied countries resi- dent in the United States shall be sub ject to draft and that nationals of neu- tral countries who claim exemption shall be disbarred from American citi- zenship.
 Necessity for an increase of Amer ica's man power was the principal ar gument of those favOring the amead- ment. Opponents cOntended there are rficient men now available and nei- ther the president nor the department asked or approved the proposed eX- tension.
 During the debate it was predicted that c'ass 1 wo Id soon be exhausted and that unless the age limits arc raised there will be disruption of in dustry with consequent effect on the war program.
 Extension of the iron ring" around Germany by sending American soldiers to Russia, italy, the Balkans and Egypt end declaring war or Bulgaria and Turkey also was urged
 Before taking .np the Fall amend ment. the senate adopted numerous riders recommended by the military committee inClrding those for organi-

AMERICANS READY SOON

ROME, Monday, June 24.-American troops will be in Italy probably early in Ju.y, according to notification given to the Italian authorities by state sen ator Cotille O. New York, who IS here on an official mission.
 ITALIAN NEWS INDEFINITE 2 WASHINGTON, June 25. - New from Italy today while confirming the great victory won by the Italians in hurling the Austrians across the Piave in disorganized retreat, threw little additional light upon the extent of the disaster On the face cf the latest news, it appeared to many observers that the ustrian army, as an offensive weapon, is not to be seriously consid- cred for months. The dual monarchy by itself is believed here to be out O. the fighting for the present summer.
 What Germany plans or will be able to do is another matter. As yet there is no sign of a great movement of German troops to the Italian front. Uu- less such a movement is undertaken immediately many officers here are convinced it will mean that Germany intends to seek to save the situation by attempting at once to complete her offensive projects in France.

 Any, straw and fodder taken by the German army" Mir Shortt said one of the posters read, will be paid for by Germany"
 ''Mr Shortt quoted extracts from many speeches that had been delivered urging illegal d-illinCs for the pur- pose os assisting Germany and -Rid the. sources Of information upon which the government relied to show German intrigue existed both in Ireland and outside had always proved true when tested by subsequent events.
 He said he had traced the activity of German agents in Ireland from 1911 and asserted that at the beginning of the war a pamphlet entitled Ireland. Germany, and the FreedOm or me Seas" had been in circulation in Ire land. It bore evidence of being Ger man printed and for the last three months had begun to reappear in Ire land.
 It was here, the speaker said, the government had found Germany was in touch with Ireland and made refer ence to the collapsible boat in which the prisoner in the tower had landed.

 There are many American OIucers who do not believe the internal situa- tion in AUstrIa is as serious as reports from adjacent countries indicate ang that Germany is confident its ally can hold agalnst the Italians long enough to permit 1t to concentrate all it's pow e for a final blow in France.
