Farm labor is scarce this year, and
yields are likely to suffer unless avail
able labor is utilized to the best ad-
vantage.
Unnecessary or misdirected cultiva-
ton is always a serious waste, but 1t
Is particularly s. when nan power
is not adequate to crop requirements.
Make all labor count at full value.
In %cultivating the corn crop, say spe-
cialists, use a two-row cultivator If
possible. 1t consumes only half as
much man labor as a one-row cult
vator and only one-fourth as much as
the half-row cultivator or double
shovel.
Cultivate when cultivation Is need
ed, but refrain when it is not needed.
Cultivation may be a waste of time
or actually injurious under certain con-
ditions. Cultivation by a hard-and-fast
rule is likely to do more harm than
good. Government corn specialists

Evaporation Of moisture lowers tenn
p~erature. A wet. eyaporating soil sur
face is cold. A dry soil surface Is
warm. A loose soil surface dries quick
ly and the blanket of loose dry soil
then checks evaporation, drinks in sun
shine, and becomes warm.
Watch your soil-its condition
should determine when to cultivate. Do
not let cracks form. They are holes
through which valuable moisture es-
capes. Do not cultivate when your
ground is dry or wet enough to form
large clods. Clods tie up plant food
so that the corn roots cannot use it
Watch Soil and Plants.
Do not waste cultivation. Cultiva-
ton may be actually injurious when
your soil is SO dry and hard as to
break into large dry cl0ds.
Failure to cultivate promptly when
Il is needed to prevent the soil from
becoming cracked, hard, or weedy will
materially lessen the corn yield.
In addition to watching the soil,
watch the plants. Their progress de-
termines how you should cultivate.
While the plants are small, cultivate
as deeply as the condition Of the soil
makes necessary. If your seed bed
was not well prepared before plant
ing, deep cultivation when the corn Is
small is desirable. Get your soil into
open condition so that the corn roots
can reach out for food.
After the plants become a foot high,
shallow cultivation only should be
given. The roots have spread out close
under the surface of the soil and
would be injured by deep cultivation.
Never cultivate deeply close to corn
plants after they are a foot high. Such
cultivation will break feeding roots and
cause injury to the plants.
Conserve Labor and Land.
Corn is the main support of the ma
ton. Grown in every state Of the
Union, it exceeds any other crop In
acreage, production, value, and multi
plicity of S
When land and labor were abundant,
production could be increased to meet
increasing demands by planting more
acres to r But the demand for
corr is still increasing while available
labor is decreasing. The only way to
increase production is to make each
here yield more bushels Of corn.
The average yield Of corn per acre
in the United States Is about q bush
els. With good seed, fair soil, and
timely, careful cultivation, the yield
can be doubled. the specialists say.
That may be too much to strive for this
year, but proper methods should enable
you to obtain, with limited labor, as
good yields as you formerly grew-un-
less, of course, you have always fol-
lowed the best cultural methods.

give the following general principles
as to time and manner of c~ultivating
corn:
Cultivation Has Three Objects.
There are three main purposes of
cultivatiOn-to store moisture, to de-
stroy weeds, to warm the soil.
Keep the soil surface loose and open.
This will let the rain soak in quickly
and reduce waste. In fair weather 1t
will prevent the subsoil from drying
out. A properly cultivated surface
soil will send moisture, laden with
plant food, up through the corn roots
and stalks to make ears.
Every weed in a cornfield is an en-
envy. 1t drinks up moisture and con-
sumes plant food that should go to
make corr kernels instead Of weed
seed. Destroy weeds when they ap-
pear. Attack them, If possible, in fair
weather. You will then have the sun
as a powerful ally.

Humus makes soil darker In color.
A farm is known by the fences II
keeps.
Saving labor is as important as saw
ing money.
Poultry and eggs make excellent
creamery sideiines.
Cowpeas are a warm-weather crop
which does splendidly on sandy soils.

In other words, If the peoples of these cOun-
tries tried to buy materials and supplies in Amer.
lea at the present market values of their curren-
cies, Austria would have to pay approximately 40
times the normal cost, Germany 10 times, Greece
just double, Czecho-Slovakia IA times and Po-
land 80.
These figures are official and are the only in.
dex which can briefly give any comprehension of
the economic conditions inside these countries.
Their currencies are deprecated because they
have neither gold nor sufficient production with
which to maintain their normal position with the
United States or with their immediate neighbors.
Until each such country Is able to produce sufR-
cient to maintain itself, either from within or by
importing in exchange for gold or goods, 1t can
not hope for normal conditions, If indeed 1t can
hope to survive. There is nothing difficult Of
comprehension about the situation. Somewhere,
somehow, some time, those countries must be-
come possessed of food, clothing, raw materials
and the means of transporting them, or they
must perish. Economically and politically, they
are crippled to a point threatening complete
paralysis, while at the same time the people are
ravaged by restitution and disease. The inroads
of the latter on the war-worn and undernourished
population has reached the proportions which
Mr.. Balfour called appalling"
Men, women and children are dying by thou
sands, and over vast once civilized areas there are
neither medical appliances nor medical skill suff-
cient to cope with the sanitary crisis.
In the Ukraine, winter OF 1888, typhus and
influenza affected most of the population. In vii
lagos of 1900 and 5000 half the people would be
Ill Of typhus at the same time. Many physicians
attended a territory 40 miles in diameter. Some
who had 10000 to 10000 typhus patients could
get no medical supplies whatsoever. and could
give only oral encouragement to their sick. And
this year the condition is even worse. Pauperism
is becoming more and more intense. Prices have
advanced steadily.
In Austria, according to a. report dated Feb
ruary IL, there were in Vienna rations for three
weeks. People were a~pathetic, fatalistic and
tired, and there was an epidemic of dancing. One
dance was attended by 1000 people, half of whom
had had no dinners. Refusing to go home. they
danced until exhausted. One hundred thousand
school children were underfed and diseased as a
result of food shortage. lack of fuel and made
quate hospital facilities. Crime was increasing
among the child population, hunger sometimes
driving little boys to attempts at murder. The

Particularly in the broad belt lying between the
Baltic and the Black seas there is appalling mis-
cry. This great area includes the new Baltic
states, Poland, Czecho-Slovakia, Ukraine, Austria.
Hungary, Roumanfa, Montenegro, Albania and
Serbia, to say nothing of Russia eastward and
Armenia to the south. In all that region there Is
almost complete paralysis of national life and In
dustry.
All that part of Europe has today a tremen-
dous number Of idle people. Many of them want
TO work. But there is a great shortage of raw
materials with which to work, and the import
export situation seems all but hopeless. Such
has been the output of paper money and so much
greater is the need of imports than the POSSIBLE
1ty OF exports under existing conditions that these
countries have nothing, either money or goods,
with which to purchase from outside what they
need to sustain life itself, to say nothing of sup
plies for the revival of industry. They totter on
the brink of utter ruin, from which nothing but a
helping hand can save them.
The depreciation in the currencies of some of
these countries, as valued in dollars, Is unbeliev-
able. According to market quotations of April 10.

AcoUITs GREENFIELD MAN.
Judge Finds He Was Not Under In.
fluence of Liquor Operating Auto.

GREENFIELD, Sept, 1S.-In con-
tinued hearing yesterday in the dis
trict court before Associate Justice
Samuel ID. Conant in the ease of Har-
old R. Todd, the defendant was found
not guilty upon the charge of operat-
ing an automobile while under the in
fiuence of liquor. Mr.. Todd, mer
chant who conducts a bakery in Fed
eral street, was arrested last week in
Shelburne Falls following an accident
at an underpass where he met an auto
mobile going in the opposite direction
while he was returning from visit to
the Charlemont fair. His ear, he said,
turned turtle after it ran against a
rock beside the highway, where he
turned out TO avoid collision with
the approaching ear. Mr.. Todd escaped
with slight injury, but John Ledger,
who was with him, Is still in Franklin
County hospital recovering from i'm
iuries. 1t was admitted that the man
had been drinking hard cider at the
fair, but not in sufficient quantity to
cause intoxieation.

HANDBILLS PRINTED
BY DR.. e. II. LYNCH
Promoted Candidacy of Mrs. Hamilton
for Town Representative-Re
CARDS Her as Well Fitted.

To the Public:-
1t has come to my attention that
there has been some criticism of Mrs
Carrie Hamilton on account of the
handbills which were' passed out last
Tuesday afternoon.
In Justice to Mrs. Hamilton. [ feel
it my duty to say that | had those bills
printed at my own expense, unknown
to Mrs. Hamilton. In justification of
my actions in this regard 1 wish to
state that many of my friends were
urging me to enter the contest for
town representative. At present my
practice is demanding my entire time
and attention; had | entered the con-
test, | would have made an effort to
win the election, and had | done so it
would have been necessary to leave my
work here for considerable length of
time. This was why | was desirous of
having Mrs. Hamilton nominated on
the Democratic ticket. You will re-
member that in 1916 Mr.. Dunham de-
feated me by one vote. 1t was not my
intention to rob Mr.. Barber of his nom
ination. l am glad. both candidates
have qualified in the primaries and
they viii now be given a chance to test
ltheir strength at the polls in November.

thing was friendly and has continued
so to the present time.
/ have always been in favor of
woman suffrage, remembering that my
mother was a woman.
l selected Mrs. Hamilton not because
she was more fitted than many other
women in Brattleboro, but because /
knew her better.
Never in the history of our town has
there been a time when Brattleboro has
needed such efficient, capable and un-
selfish representation as win be re-
quired in our next legislature. and it is
because / feel that Mrs. Hamilton is so
preeminently fitted to represent us that
have taken the steps / have. She has
proved herself TO be an able, conseien-
tious business woman, and in our leg
islature she would be a leader with the
best interests of Brattleboro always at
heart, regardless of political afilia-
tions.
Yours very truly,

RADICALISM
IN FULL SWING
Seeks Overthrow of United States Gov
nt-Government Has Proof
of Russian Origin.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1S.-Radical-
ism which seeks the overthrow of the
United States government, and which
by letter. circular and in secret news
papers, urges assassination, incendlar-
ism and other extreme forms of vio-
lence, was never more active in this
country than it is at the present time,
according to government informa ion.
Extreme radicalism is being advocated
secretly in the United States in several
newspapers, and documents in the pos
session of the government prove that
the movement is in large part directed
from Russia. These facts were re
vealed yesterday by an official who Is
in close touch with the government s
efforts to control alien Reds and other
disturbers.
This official showed an official copy
Of a long list of instructions sent from
Moscow to leaders of the extreme rad
ical elements in this country. The orig
inal letter is in the possession of the
government, having been taken from
a Bolsheyist courier on his way from
Moscow to this country and sent by g..
Zineviev, president of the Central Ex-
eeutive committee of the Third Inter
rationale at Moscow.
In one letter Zineviev, who is also a
high official of the Bolshevist govern
ment. urges his " American comrades
to proceed by underground means
to accomplish the overthrow of the
government and the destruction of cap
italism.

Grade teachers and judges were busy
this forenoon arranging and Judging the
displays of the various clubs of the Brat
tleboro Home and School Industrial
league exhibit in the high school building,
which will be open to the public from
j 80 to 5 O'Clock this afternoon and from
z to O'Clock this evening.
While the exhibit is well worth the
time of the parents and friends to inspect
the work of their children compared with
that of other children, not as many en-
tries have been made as in previous
years, this being due partly to the late
spring and partly to the fact that not
as much time was devoted in school
hours to inpressing upon the children
the Importance of their club work.
Grade room is given over to the dis
play of vegetables, which includes good
showing of potatoes, beets, beans, Gu
Icumbers, cabbages, peppers, tomatoes,
pumpkins, squashes, apples, carrots, etc.
The Judges of the displays in this depart
ment were John Mckay and c. Warner
Hopkins.
: In the handwork department the dis
plays are evenly balanced, in embroid-
cries, crocheting and knitting, including
doilies. yolles and sweaters, with several
dresses, aprons and other articles adding
touch of variety. Mrs. I'll. c. Freeman
Iand Mrs. George Z. Foster were the
judges of the handwork.
There are no specially large collections
of birds, leaves or flowers in the nature
1 damn r-fT this ThprQ are how
ever, several handsome bouquets of cul-
| tiyated and wild flowers and many col
ored bird pictures which are the work
of the children. This display is ar
ranged in grade and was judged by
Mrs. F. w. Pier.
| School work is arranged in an attrac-
tive display on the walls of the grade 5
room and is especially interesting. If
those who go to the exhibition are linn
| tied for time they should visit this room
| first and see the work which is done
| from day to day by the children. Every
piece of the work was taken from the
work of the pupils during the school
year and kept for the exhibit.
| Canned vegetables, fruits, and jellies
