TRACTOR FLOWING HAS
ITS own PROBLEMS
Great Care Needed to Lay Out Fields
to Eliminate Waste Of Time
Or Labor.

ashington.-Plowing with tractors
presents some problems that never
bother the man who uses horse-drawn
implements 1t is necessary to lay
out fields, so that high-class job OF
blowing can be done over the entire
area with the minimum use OF
horse-drawn pillow in starting and fin
ishing the work, says Farmers Bulle-
tin 1045, recently published by the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture, which gives in detail some of the
best methods for laying out land and
blowing with tractors. The methods
in general use are divided into two
classes in the bulletin-those in which
the plows are elevated and no plow-
ing is done across the ends, and those
in which the plows are left in the
ground continuously. In most cases
better blowing can be done when the
plows are idle across the ends of the
field, and for this reason the methods
Oh lnlS Cldbb Popu'e'f
many farmers prefer the other meth
DDS, as they eliminate waste of time
and labor.
Plowmen using tractors wish to re-
duce to a minimum the time spent in
running and in turning with plows of
of the ground. While 1t is necessary
to do some travelling while the plows
are idle, care should be taken not to do
too much of 1t, as 1t reduces the num-
Der of acres which ctn be plowed in
day, making the tractor that much
less efficient Short turns, however
are awkward for most tractors, and
where such turns are necessary the
operator often has more or less diff
ficulty In getting the outfit in the cor
rect position for starting into the new
furrow at the right point Some trac-
tors turn more easily in one direction
than others, and this should be taken
into consideration In laying out the
fields.

Cramp yard, and they sailed togeth-
err on her trial trip.
During the Russo-Japanese war de
Richter was in command of the squad
ron which defended the approaches to
Petrograd and Kronstadt In the Great
War he served through the Russian
campaign in the aBltic. During 1915
he commanded battleship unit and
went down with his flagship in the
great fight with the Germans at Riga
Bay.
He was rescued unhurt from the
wreckage of his ship and continued
his service with the Russian Navy.
In 1916 he took command of a SQUAD
ron of four cruisers, ten destroyers
and a fiotilla of gunboats. With this
fleet he established a patrol of the
Gulf of Finland, the waters off Swed-
CT and the Aland Islands and EXTEND
..ig even to the shore waters of Tor
nea, almost within the Arctic Circle.
In the summer of 1917 Prince Wloff
sent de Richter to the United States
on special mission, and while he was
still engaged upon the work that
brought him to this country, the Reds,
under the leadership of Lenine and
Trotzky seized the reins of govern
ment at Petrograd, and de Richter
found himself for the time being a
man without country.
Not only was he man without a
country, but man without job, and
without money or resources. The re-
volution of the Reds had stripped him,
When he found that ship riggers were
needed at the yards he thought of his
old friend Calberg and found him in
the position of yard captain at the
Camden yards of the New York Ship
building Company, and Calberg put
him to work.
De Richter and his wife made their
home at No. 4521 Walnut street, Phil
adelphia, and early every morning,
dressed in his workmen's clothes and
distinguished only by his erect car
riage, his square shoulders and white
hair, he caught the crowded ferry to
Camden to go to his work and earn
his $35 a week His fellow workmen
knew him only as rigger of eXcep-
tional skill speaking a broad exper-
fence at sea, and who carried his AZ
years as lightly as though they were
only half as many.
Occasionally de Richter and his wife
would make trip to Washington to
meet Princes Wolf and Boris Bakh-
metieff, who, although cut off from
communications, still maintained the
structure of the Russian embassy and
through them received such news as
they were able to obtain of affairs at
home, and finally his call to join the
forces of Kolchak-to drop the over
alls of ship rigger for the uniform
! of a rear admiral in the Russian Navy

when you say the seeds do not have to

most obedient things in the world.
And they do not ask foolish questions
about why should / obey?' They know
that there is a great and wise Power

PART Ill. DOLLY LEARNS WHY SEEDS OBEY.

"Did you ever think" said the FAIRY
Queen, "how strange 1t would be
YOU could not know what kind OF a,
plant would come up when you put
seed into the grounds"
why, they have to come up right
said Dolly.
"They wouldn't unless they obeyed
what they were told to do suppose
YOU planted grain of corn and an
onion should come up-or potato
or even a weed, perhaps?"
81 never thought about that" said
Dolly, who had heard her brothers,
Bob and BILLY, talking about the
United States School Garden Army
DO you think you could have
garden If you had to take chance on
every seed you planted? You know
when you plant grain of corn that
the corn fairy will bring up beauti-
ful. tall stalk of corn. You know
when you put one of the 'Seven-eyes'
into the ground that you will have
potato plana. They do what they have
been taght to do; they obey like good
soldiers"
But who tells them what to do?'
DO YOU know who is the highest
officer in the army?"
And then come other otticers-colo-
nels, majors, captains, and soon. Now,
the good soldier, when his officer gives
him an order, does not say Did the
General tell me to do this?' He just
goes on and does it, because he knows
1t is an order from Headquarters. The
seeds are like good soldiers. They obey
orders and do what they have been
trained to do"
But how do they know what orders
are?"
Seeds are like animals, little Dolly.
They have some ways OF knowing
things that we can not find out. DO
you remember when you moved
here?"
"oh, yes; it was only last year We
came here so we could have gar
den"
do YOU remember how old Maria
MacDougal acted?"
Oh, yes! We brought her here IN a
covered basket in the car, but she ran
away"
Where did she go?"
why, she went back to the old
house. 1t took her two days to get
there. 1t cried and cried and Father
bob said he was cure we would find
her at the old house. So we went
back there ever so many times. AT last
she did come back. She was dirty
and hungry"
"Then what did you do?'
I'VE brought her back in the basket
and kept her shut up in the basement
a while. Then she stayed"
Gould you have found your way
back to the old house aloneT'
"Oh, no. 1t is ever so far
How do you suppose cat did IT.
81 don't know"
Something in Maria-something
that we call 'instinct'-told her where
to go. In the seeds there is something
like that. They know what they are
to do and they do i They never dis
obey, and they always tell the truth
TELL the TRUTH" said Dolly, laugh
ing. What do you mean?"
81 mean just that, If you could not
believe the seeds you wouldn't have
much of a garden Don't you remem-
Der what / said about planting a corn
seed and knowing that a cornstalk
would come up"
ooh. of course. / see, How awful
1t would be If we couldn't believe the
seeds. Just think, If should plant

on ivy should come up?"

No CONFIDENCE IN GERMANY.

The French people have no conf
dence in the pledges Of Germany and
insist that the only way to make Ger
many be good is to hold club over
her. The sinking of the German battle
ships by their crews, an act contrary
to the stipulations Of the armistice. is
Z pointed to as the latest demonstration
OF German unwilingness to observe
agreements. The French know the Teu-
tonic mind better than any OF the al
lies do and the French will be the first
to suffer, and will be the most severe
sufferers, if hostilities are renewed in
the future. 1t may be that the German
mind now that the nation is rid OF the
,Hohenzollerns, will gradually undergo
a change, the militaristic spirit will die
out and the nation become one that
loves peace. However, in the mean
time, while the transition Is taking
sblaae, it is the French idea that a
strong grip must remain at the throat
of Germany. Peace cannot be made per-
..l1anent by any treaty, but peace can be
maintained for time by treaty, and
the hope exists that after the Teutonic
: peoples have come to fully realize the
effects Of the great war, the spirit OF
Mars will subside and the nation Will
become great power for good in the
seYorld.
