ARMY AND COUNTRY NED STU
DENT NURSES.

The United States must have 25.-
900 student nurses now-student
nurses for work at the front. On
July 20, the Woman's Committee,
Council of National Defense, will be-
gin campaign to recruit young wo-
men for training schools in both
army and civilian hospitals. These
$4,000 student nurses will form the
United States Student Nurse Reserve.
Kentucky's quota is $50, and the
campaign is in the hands of Mrs.
Helm Bruce, State Chairman of the
Woman's Committee, Council of Ma
tional Defense. Miss Pauline May
will have charge of the local cam
paign, plans for which will be an
nounced later.
Unless there are more student
nurses graduate nurses cannot be
sent to Europe and wounded men will
suffer. Graduate nurses can be re-
leased only by recruiting new stu
dent nurses. Graduate nurses can
only be supplied by filling training
schools connected with the hospitals.
An adequate supply Of nurses is es-
sential for carrying on the war and
yet the demand for women in other
branches of war service has depleted
the number Of students taking train
ing for nursing until they are below
that of normal times.
What is needed is the enrolment
of $4,000 physically ut young wo-
men between the ages Of 10 and IS,
having full high school training
wherever possible and preferably col
lege, training. The Government
wants young women of education,
character, good health and good
sense.

DOG OWNERS MAY ESCAPE 1917
TAX.

Owners of dogs may escape paying
the dog tax for 1917. In re-enact-
ing the dog tax law, the last session
of the General Assembly repealed the
old dog tax law. At the present time
the Sheriffs are collecting the dog
tax for 1917 at 81 a head. Funds
accruing from this source are turned
over to the State Auditor to pay
sheep claims. If any part of the
fund is left 1t goes to the school fund.
Attorney General Morris has been
asked for an opinion as to whether
the repeating fsthe old dog tax law
makes the assessment for 1917 void.
He has the question under considera-
ton. Under the new law the funds
arising from the dog tax law goes to
the county in which the fund is
raised.

The Need and Our Opportunity.

''The womenfolk of France show
plainly the pinch of hunger" writes
a Wichita Falls (Tex) soldier re-
Gently arrived in France. He also
writes that the scraps from his camp
go to feed the Belgians.
Food valued at 1,400, 900 900 was
shipped from the United States to
the allied countries during the last
fiscal year, Food Administrator
Hoover writes in report to Presi-
dent Wilson. Included in these
shipments were 3,011,100,000 pounds
of meats and fats, and 340,800, 900
bushels of cereals representing in
creases of S44,600.000 pounds of
meats and fats and SO,900,O00 bush
els of cereals over the previous year.
These items are reproduced in this
column in order to show, first, the
great need of our allies, and, sec.
ond, that our conservation and efforts
for increased production are bringing
splendid results. With the needs of
our allies ever before us and with
the knowledge that our efforts are
producing certain and splendid re-
suits every American ought to be en-
couraged to conserve to the Utmost
and to expend their best efforts to
increase production.
American farms are big enough
and American lands are rich enough,
the spirit of sacrifice is deep enough
and the enegry and resourcefulness
of our farmers is great enough to fur
nish plenty for every hungry woman
and child in France and Belgium.

1.-The Yanks Are Coming!"

The Strassburger Post says the
German public had attached too
: great hopes to the German offensive
at Rheims, and asks: From where
do these troops come which the Amer
. 3cxn transports have really brought
~fmore quickly than they were ex-
vzpecsed!"
Now that the Post is convinced
that the million American soldiers in
France are reality, it might find out
from where these troops come" if
1ftscould get hold of some of the spy
reports that have been reaching Ber-
Ain. But if the Post wants more
definite Information, it might put its
editorial finger on just any point on
1he map of the United States and it
will touch the spot. For there is not
q State, nor a county nor precinct
in these broad United States that is
not now represented in the great
American Army in France.
And IL the Strassburg editor wants
20 see just what these American
soldiers look like, he need only to
take little trip into the western
: part Of Germany next spring and he
will see more Americans than he ever
g dreamed would tread German soil.
Yes. ''the Yanks are coming!"

Now Comes The Tug of War.

Insolently stalking through worn
and war-torn Europe, the naughty
war-lord, partner of Cod" Will
helm, the Butcher, despised of men
except the poor deluded fools of his
own country, meets his match when
American labor grasps the rope in
the tug-of-war game. A firm pull,
and a strong pull will bring him to
his knees, and leave him groveling
in the dust.
1t means freedom for the world,
with opportunity for every man to go
his way unhindered and unafraid.
We have the men for mightier army
than the Prussian. We have the raw
materials to bury his empire and all
his hated and loathed militarism in a
cauldron of molten steel. But we
need the cooperation of every
American worker to make our men
and materials effective-in agricul-
ture, in manufacture, in transporta-
tiol-and we need it now.
You can best hold up your end in
this gigantic tug-of-war by sticking
to your job and doing the best you
can for your country and those de-
pendent upon you, unless Uncle Sam
asks you to change, by working hard,
by saving your money.
All together, then, Americans, with
a strong and lusty pull, for victory
and peace will be your certain re-
ward.

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 phosphorus
and has been sown with the best
seed wheat available. Stubble fields
that are to be sown to wheat this fall
should be thoroughly disced before
blowing and should be plowed before
August 10th, as wheat will not pro-
duce a maximum yield unless the
ground Is firm and compact.
After the stubble field has been
plowed it should be dragged down
properly to level and pulverized so
as to conserve the moisture. 1t should
then be disc-harrowed, then rolled
and finely narrowed. The better the
preparation the greater the yield and
OfOAy hOlu uuuot uO U6SL.
Soy-bean and cow-peas fields must
be thoroughly finished by dragging
and rolling or the yield will be dis
appointing. Every field that grows
tobacco this summer should be sown
to wheat this fall, as wheat does we'll
following tobacco. A tobacco field
that is not sown to wheat will be a
Stacker field.
Only the best seed wheat should
be sown and the rate of seeding
should be from u to 2 bushels per
acre. The Kentucky Experiment Sta
ton has proven that the best variety
is the Jersey Fultz. Wheat should
not be sown too deep. The right
depth is from 1 to IL inches.
All seed wheat should be treated
with blue-stone or formalin to pre-
vent smut, because the wheat field
that fights for freedom will harbor no
smut.
The field that needs phosphorus,
and this means every field in Ken
lucky except the richest in the Blue
Grass region and some river bottom
beds, will be given an application of
from 200 to 400 pounds Of Acid
Phosphate, Steamed Bone Meal or
Basic Stag and the patriotic farmer
will order his fertilizer early. Wheat
drills should be put in first condition
before sowing time and the seeding
should be carefully done to prevent
skips. Wheat seeding should start
September 23rd in Northern Ken
lucky; October LIST in Central Ken
lucky and October 10th in Southern
Kentucky. Sown earlier than this,
wheat is liable to be infested with
Hessen fly.
A field that fights for freedom will
be plowed with the utmost care in
the full realization that every inch
of soil will be called upon to hight
for a righteous cause. No clods will
be permitted in that field, for clods
are allies of the Kaiser, but the field
will be pulverized and compacted to
a firm, smooth seed-bed. The seed
wheat will be treated with formalin
or blue stone to exterminate smut,
plentiful supply of phosphate fer
tilizer will be added to the soil, the
wheat drill will be in perfect condi-
ton and operated with care so that
there will be an even flow of wheat
and no skipped places, and, when
the labor in that field is completed
the farmer will consign it to his
Makers care to, be kissed by the gen
tie sunshine and watered by the life
giving rain and will go on his way
rejoicing that he has dedicated to
his country's cause a field that will
fight for freedom.
