Usually it can be located within a few
degrees. The light is not turned on at
all until the airplane is practically To-
Gated. Then it is suddenly flashed on
the craft. Once a bombing plane is
found it is hard for it to get away from
the memorable pencil of light. Bomb
ing planes are not like battle planes
they must fly In comparatively
straight lines and are not free to
twist and turn so as to wriggle out
of range of the light.
The first thing an aviator does when
he finds himself in the spotlight is to
rise. That is just what the operator of
the searchlight wants him to do. The
higher he goes the less accurate his
aim becomes and the smaller grows
the chance that he can hurl his bombs
at desired point. Furthermore, he is
dazzled by the light and his sense of
security is completely destroyed. Some

HOW TO SHIP NEW POTATOES
Prevent Losses by Loading Them Care

Barrel Is Good.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
Shifting of the loads in transit, weak
and partly filled packages, and lack of
ventilation are responsible for losses
in many cars of new potatoes which
are arriving at markets. SThe loading
of diseased potatoes is also responsible
for considerable loss. In some cases
shipments that show scab wilt or late
blight are practically worthless when
they reach the market.
The dOuble-headed barrel appears to
be the best package for new potatoes
that is now in general use. If proper
ly made it protects the potatoes as
well as holds them in place. Much
less breakage has been found in cars
where the barrels are loaded on end
than when loaded on their bilge. Strips
should be placed on top of the lower
layers of barrels for the upper layers
to rest upon.
Loading barrels on their bilge is not
safe practice unless headliners
(strips to prevent heads bulging) are
used. 1t is said that the use of head
liners would prevent nine-tenths of the
breakage In all types of loads with

NEED OF ANCIENT PRACTICE

History tells of Roman farmers who
carefully chopped fine various green,
succulent feeds and packed them in
pits for use during the winter season.
The practice seems to have been COM
mon and the feed kept well. From
these early times 1t has been good
practice to store various green crops
in pits or alright containers for feed
ing to stock. The silo is the present
day result, and a farmer who raises
live stock cannot afford to be without
one. The advantages of the silO are

largely done by hand in other parts.

Huns Didn't Get
Grain of Ukraine

1t was fortunate for the allies that
they did. AS soon as they realized
that Germany's chief objective in
Russia was the Ukrainian grain sup
ply they began a systematic campaign
OF pillage and burning, In which they
were assisted by the peasants them
selves, aroused at the thought that
the old landowners were to return I'M
der German protection.
The evidence that the CZecho-Slo-
vaks We're successful Is incontestable.
Count CZernin, Austro- Hungarian
prime minister until his little ex-
change of pleasantries with NJ.
Clemenceau, placed the responsibility
for the bare Ukrainian cupboard on
the shoulders of the Czecho- Slovaks.
German representative in the Aus
TRAN reiChSrath repeated the charge In
greater details. A Magyar deputy In
the Hungarian parliament recently de-
clared that the Czecho- Slovak army in
Ukraine had burned or taken away
everything of value.

Not only did they destroy what they
could, but they fought bitterly to pre-
vent the Teutons taking what was
left. Retiring and hampered by their
lack of equipment. they stopped to
meet the advancing Germans repeat

Certainly in Ukraine the Czecho-
Slovaks have had their revenge for
three centuries of suffocation and
oppression in Bohemia. But through
out the war they have launched shat
tering blows against their Austrian
and German enemies and the whole
idea of Mittel Europa.

Washngton.-Amid the many easy
triumphs which enabled the Teutons
this year to slice great sections from
the map of Russia, like coupons from
Il bond, Germany and Austria both sur
fered one frightful disappointment
And the pang was in the weakest part
of their political anatomy-tne collec-
tive stomach of their peoples.
The grain Of which the two kaisers
expected to plumber the Ukraine was
not there-at least there was so little
of it that Germany had to lower her
bread ration, while Austria continued
to starve a bit more rapidly. The sup
plies had been burned.
These fires were lighted, with kind
of poetic justice, by the remnants OF
the CZecho- SIovak army-deserters
from the Austrian ranks and invet-
crate enemies of the Hapsburgs, who
had been reconstructed into Russian
military units under the kerensky
regime and fought so splendidly for
Russia before the whole nation col
lapsed from the gnaWing of the boil
sheviki.
Fortunate for the Allies.
Until March of this year this CZecho-
Slovak army had been stationed in the
Ukraine-5O 900 men in line and $4,000
more in reserve. Then bOlshevik rep
resentatives dissolved their organiza-
ton and took away their arms, though
about 10000 refused to part with their
weapons. They were given promises
that they would be allowed to leave
Russia for the United States, but, of
course, no means of transportation
were provided. And so they remained
where they were.

KEEP SHEEP FLOCK
TO CONTROL WEEDS

prepared by the United States De-
partment of AgriCultureJ
one of the best and cheapest
ways to control weeds on farms
is to keep a flock of sheep. In
addition to controlling weeds
without cost, sheep will render
a profit by producing nutritious
food and wool, and will assist
materially in meeting demands
on the nation for meat and wool
production. If weeds are not
permitted to grow and develop
leaves they will die, but it
would require a great amount
of hard labor to keep most
weeds under control by this
method. Sheep will keep the
weeds down and the more
weeds they eat the less will be
their cost of upkeep, and the
greater will be the supply of
food released for other stock.
Many rough or permanent grass
pastures that require moving
can be kept clean by the use Of
sheep, while at the same time
the cattle-carrying capacity of
the pasture is increased.

barrels. Extra bracing is needed when
barrels are loaded on their bilge.
The sack is not a suitable container
for tender new potatoes; it offers no
protection from bruiSing. and when
loaded is hard to ventilate. If sacks
are to be used they should be of no
greater capacity than 100 pounds. The
smaller sack could be handled with
much greater care and would lend it
self to ventilation better.
Hampers are not suitable packages
for potatoes. They do not have the
necessary strength for the weight of
their contents and offer little prOtec-
ton. AS long as hampers are used for
potatoes and other heavy produce there
will be severe loss from breakage. If
used they should be loaded on end and
alternate baskets inverted. Great care
should be taken to make the load tight,
and no slack space should be allowed
in the car. This will lessen the chance
of shifting.
Crates of various sorts are being
used, and appear satisfactory where
the strength of the crate is sufficient
for the weight of its contents. Weak
crates should not be used under any
circumstances, and crates with wide
openings tend to wilt the potatoes
while in transit. Crates must be load
ed tight and firm, and no slack space
left under any circumstances without
suitable bracing, while stripping is rec
commended,

Plant, cultivate and harvest a full acre
age of the crops best suited to his land
and the needs of the country, than to
let some of the land lie idle or, at best,
have it prepared and worked poorly,
and the crops out of season.
In many cases, a worker can double
the work done by the use of larger
implement and cOrrespondingly
greater amount of motive power, and
sometimes the gain is considerably
more than this. If the nature of the
work and the machinery for doing it
are such that the best implements will
increase the efficiency of the worker
by only so or even % per cent, their
use may make possible an increase in
acreage by just that amount, and at
least will enable the farmer to do his
work in less time and allow him to
take advantage of good weather if the
season is unfavorable.

horses and larger implements to save
man labor? OF course, those whose
farms require but one or two horses to
do the ordinary work can seldom af-
ford to do so. But such can secure
this additional help by combining to
purchase larger machinery, and doub-
ling up their teams to operate it; or
one, usually more skilled in operating
machinery, or better able to purchase
it, may own the larger implements,
and do the work for several neighbor
farmers, besides his own, to the adj
vantage of all concerned. Both these
methods have been tried out in many
localities with mowers. harvesters

farm machinery.
