 To evacuate the country was a milf- tary absurdity; we needed 1t fer our existence and hnd no mind to dclfvez it up to interruptions bolxhevism. We declined to evacuate 1t on this military ground, quite apart from the fact that imitation was possible under the bol- shevik knout.

Only $50 Tons of American Potash in
Sight-American Manufacturers Idle
Talk of Effort by Germany to Kill
American Industry.

WASHINGTON, Aug. There is quite
can farmers want it III quantity, and want
the embargo lifted There are charges
that the German potash syndicate is try
ing to stihe the infant American industry
Representatives of the national board of
farm organizations and the National
Grange yesterday sent letter to Vance
Mccormick, chairman of the war trade
board. asking that the embargo be taken
off, so that farmers can get the 250,0O0
IONS of potash which they viii need in
the next year.
They state that the manufacturers have
on hand only about $50 tons of American
potash, and that the mills are idle because
of the fear of the importation of foreign
potash. They object also to the price
which they say American manufacturers
are trying to have guaranteed by the gov
ernment
On the other hand, it is stated the Ger
man syndicate is trying to stife the Amer
lean industry by misstatements and by
unloading vast quantities of potash on
| the American markets.
1t is said that when Hoyt s Gale OF
the department of the interior went t.
Germany to get the facts about the pot
ash situation, he was prevented from Wis
ting the mines and compelled to get his
! information from Mr. Schnedekof, direct
or-general of the potash syndicate.
| Hearing that the United States would
enact tariff to protect its industry OF
provide license, this man is said to have
given out information to the effect that
/ there was little potash in Germany avail
able for shipment to America The wal
trade board has been approached by
agents of the German syndicate asking
that the embargo be lifted 50 that the
German people could exchange what
little potash they had for foodstuffs

8. Wounds on the roots have a ten

It is possible TO dig holes for spring

"Evergreens ranging from one to two
feet in height dug without soil on the

Of August or early September. At that
season of the year they make a sec
ond root growth and will establish a
connection with the soil before the
ground freezes, preparing them some

will result in transplanting in the

before introducing the main subject
the fact can not be overlooked that
Southampton, quaint little town, is
