FIRST NAVAL TRAINING POST
Was Established at Boston, Largely
Through Efforts Of Commodore
William Cambridge.

The first naval school In the United
States was established at the old BOs-
ton navy yard more than century
ago, the founder being Commodore
cambridge, who is known as the "Fa-
Their Of American Naval Construction"
and who was born in Princeton, N. J..
cambridge was captured by the
French in 1893, during the naval con-
flicts between that country and the
United States, and in 1902 he was
held a prisoner for nine months by
the Tripolitan pirates.
He fought CALAMITY in the last war
between America and England, and
after its conclusion induced the Wash
ington authorities to open a training
school for officers at Boston. In 1910,
some years after the death Of the
founder Of American naval education,
q naval school was opened in the old
naval asylum in Philadelphia, and here
for few years the midshipmen Of
the republic were instructed in the
arts of warfare on the sea. The plan
was so successful that 1t was decided
to open a permanent naval academy.
Annapolis, Nd, was chosen as the site
Of the school and there the present
United States Naval academy was
formally opened.

grass, Canada thistle and milkweed,
cannot be destroyed In this manner af-
ter they have become well established.
Injury to the stand is averted by
slanting the teeth Of the harrow back
ward about 30 degrees, although an
excessive slant is undesirable. When
a weeder Is used the teeth directly
over the rows are often removed.
Either tool had best be used In the at
ternOOn or on a hot day, when the
plants are wilted and limp. The pc
Rod Of greatest danger to the stand
Is Just as the plants are coming
through the ground, at which time
and for few days thereafter, harrow
ing is inadvisable. A short trial will
demonstrate whether the injury Is
greater than the saving. although one
should not lose courage too quickly.
Harrow These Crops.
Crops which can be narrowed sue
cessfully include corn. cotton, potatoes,
field beans and peas, sugar beets, sor-
ghum, cane, peanuts, Sudan grass, al
falfa. sweet clover, wheat, barley, oats
and rye. The grain crops are hnr-
rowed more to remove wild mustard
and other weeds than for the sake Of
cultivation. Special harrows are made
for broadcast alfalfa.
Tobacco, cabbage and other trans
planted crops, as well rs young grass
and clover seedlings and most truck
crops, are too delicate for this method
of cultivating.
Narrowing cannot be expected to
give good results unless the surface
soil Is In good filth. The object Of
narrowing is to maintain, not to make,
a seed bed. For this reason the prac-
tice Is most popular on the lighter
types of soil, as these are easily pre-
pared and worked. Very good results
are secured, however, on heavy clay
loan soils, and the practice is rapidly
extending as the requirements become
more generally understood.
Stiff clay soils, wet soil and soil on
which hard crust has formed should
not be narrowed, as the implements
must be weighted so heavily that they
Will injure the crop.

THE FARM AND THE WAR
BY L. n. Bailey ION Former
President Roosevelt's Rural
Life Commission.

The response of the farming
people to the Third Liberty
Loan was gratifying. 1t was
what we expected, as Soon as
the question was put before the
farmers directly. hope that the
Fourth Liberty Loan will be
taken still more freely by the
rural people.
No great war can be won
In these days without the ac-
tive cooperation of all the peo-
pie. We contribute by giving our
selves, our business, uphOlding
the hands of the government.
and lONning the government our
money. This money has been ac-
cumulated because we have
prOspered. and because our gov
eminent has protected us. The
investment is the best, and the
spirit that takes Liberty Bonds
is the same spirit that makes
good crops. The farmers crops
have saved us.
We cannot think of losing
this war. We cannot run the
risk of an agriculture controlled
by a headstrOng, immoral state,
such as would be imposed on us
If Prussia wer, to succeed. Agri-
culture lies at the foundation Of
our system Of democracy; it's
opinion must count In our pub
lie policies; this means that
farmers must take such an ac-
tive part in the maintenance Of
the war that they will have a
right to be heard. They have
taken this part thus far. and
know that they will be stead
fast to the end.

WEEDER REDUCES

prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture.)
A farm practice not generally en-
ployed Is the use Of the weeder or the
spike-tOOth harrow instead of the usu-
al one-row cultivator In cultivating
crops like corn, cotton and potatoes.
This practice does not involve buying
new implements. 1t means only diff
ferent use of those already on many
farms, yet 1t reduces labor cost 40 per
cent and does the job in one-third the
time.
On well-prepared ground which is
free from stones, clods and trash,
two-sectiOn harrow or 12-foot weeder
can be used for all but the heaviest
cultivating until the crops are to 6
inches high, and will do the work
in one-third the time required by
two-hOrse cultivatOr. by using the
larger implements the cost of cultiva-
ton is reduced from 35 per cent to
about 20 per cent of the cost of grow
ing the crop, besides releasing valu-
able farm labor for other work dur
crops can be cultivated twice as often
during the first part of the season, in
which case there will be little hoeing
and cultivating to do during haying.
In either event the weeds are killed
wholesale In May, instead of a row at
at time in June.
Not Severe Treatment.
Driving q weeder or even q harrow
over young growing crop Is not as Sc
we're treatment as would appear. Most
crop plants are tough and heavily
rooted and are not damaged perma-
nently, either by the harrow or the
horses. A few plants are uprooted
and there is some tearing of the
larger leaves, but this can be entirely
offset by seeding little more heavily
than usual. Weeds, on the other hand
are mostly shallow-rooted, and are
nearly all destroyed. However, the
harrow or weeder must be used be-
fore the weeds exceed an inch in
height in order to be effective. Per-
ennial weeds, of course, like quack

Mrs. Hortense Ward Of Houston
says to the women Of Texas;
THE eyes Of Texas are upon the
women Of this state. Theirs Is the pri-
vIlege and the duty to elect a Gov
ernor who stands for the best ideals
Of the people and the welfare OF the
state.
I'VE have worked for the right to
participate In the election OF the men
who control the policies. enact ana cn-
force the laws Of our state. We now
have that privilege. II carries with II
serious responsibilities. Especially

the knowledge that opposed to the

enfranehlsement are the combined
forces that have fought the political

perlence how strong is the organized
liquor traffic, and It's allied Interests
We know how bitterly they resent
the laws that Governor Hobby was
instrumental in securing for the pro
lection Of the State, the Army and
the homes OF Texas. We know too
how lndustriously they are working
against him seeking to over throw
him and all the good laws that he
has been instrumental in having en-
acted. Let us prove worthy OF our
responsibility.
So that the record may be kept
straight let II be known that Gov
ernor Hobby when he entered poll
ties in 1914 declared himself in IA
vor OF suffrage for women. He has
consistently preserved that attitude
agalnst the wishes Of some OF bis
best friends and close advisors. lie

right and Just and today II is In our
power to Justify his belief In our
ideals and our standards.
Mr.. Ferguson's opposition to suf-
frage and his action in fighting that

Convention at st. Louis in 1916 are
well known TO the women u
