ENGLAND MUST IN
CREASE WHEAT YIELDS

According 10 the cditcr Of the Unit
ell States Experiment Station Record.
Director Russell OF the Rothamstead
(England) experiment station says
that "the English farmers task in the
future will be- Ia increase his yield. ="
But he further states: I'VE must
strengthen the straw. improve the
tiliering. regulate to some extent the
development of grain and control the
pests Until these are all solved we
cannot hope 10 get much further with
increased wheat yields"
The interesting part Of this Is that
SO good an authority sees the necessity
OF still further increasing the English
yields Of wheat per acre. In this coun-
try. although we produce less than one
half the English yields per acre, some
of our would-be agricultural econo-
mists tell us that we have solved our
production problems, have even al
ready given too much attention to
production. So long as American
farmers produce only about IA bushels
OF wheat per acre while England pro-
duces for an average Of ten years 32.S
bushels of wheat per acre, II Is ridicu-
lous TO suppose that. while in compet-
ton with English farmers. We have no
further production problems calling
for solution Q The great American ag-
rIcultural problem Is greater soil fer
tllity and S.catcr yields per acre.

German atrocities in Belgium was
told to the Senate committee on
propaganda by Grant Squires, a New
York lawyer, one of the pioneers in
Belgium relief work and now an Of
ficer of the military intelligence SER
vice. He told the story APPARENTLY
with reluctapce. Senator Nelson
brought out this testimony, appar-
emily to offset that of Edmund Won
Mach on the same subject.
"I entered Belgium in November,
1914, and helped in the organization
of the relief committee in Liege, Ma
muir, Charleroi, Mons, Louvain, and
one or two smaller towns" said Mr..
Squires.

NEW NURSES HOME
FOR THE HOSPITAL
Handsome Residence Recently
Transformed to Be Opened
on Saturday Afternoon

The Woman's Aid Society of the
Harrisburg Hospital announce the
opening of the new nurses home of
the hospital at lis North Front
street, Saturday afternoon, between
. and o'clock the new building
viii be open for inspection and
friends of the hospital may visit and
inspect it.
The hospital has been for some
time leasing III North Front street,
as nurses home and has here been
furnishing comfortable accommoda-
uons for fourteen nurses. The home
at l15 North Front street, which is
now being opened was recently
leased from Samuel Fishman. 1t was
formerly the residence of w. o.
Hlckok and was one of the best
houses of its period. and is admir-
ably adapted to the purpose for
which it has been leased. 1t was re-
modelled by the Women's Aid Society
with the cooperation of the board
or managers and was furnished by
the Women's Aid Society. Mrs NJ. e.
Olmsted, Mrs. Henry B. Mccormick
and Miss Francis Scott were the
committee of the society who had
charge of the furnishing.
An interesting fact in connection
with the home, is that John B. Nc
Pherson, in memory of his daughter,
Mrs. William S. Bergner, presented
to the hospital for the home, the
household furniture which had form
erly been the property of his daugh-
ter, who was until recently a resi-
dent of this city.
1T is hoped that the people will
avail themselves of this opportunity
of visiting the home and in this way
show their interest in their hospital
for it belongs to them in SO far as
they make 1t their. own by giving
toward it or helping it in other
ways" is the closing paragraph of
the invitation the board has issued
to the public in general to attend.
