LAND HAS SUFFERED MUCH
Bessarabia, Always In the Pathway Of
Savage Invasion, Repeatedly
Overrun and PiIIaged.

Bessarabia, slipping southwark from
the westward foothills of the Car
pathians, between the Dniester and
Pruth, down to the Black sea and
Danube delta, lay in the normal
geographical pathway Of tribes push
ing westward from Asia and south
ward from the warmer seacoast lands.
Among the most narrowing Of the
invasions was that of the Mongols in
the fourteenth century, when that re-
gion suffered atrocities during which
women and children were used as tar
gets in bow-and-arrow contests, and
slivers of wood were driven under the
nails Of the men, all this going on I'M
til mo eye remained open to weep
for the dead"
Prior to the outbreak Of the world
war, pastoral Bessarabia offered a
pleasing contrast. The Moldavian
homes offered delight to the tourists.
The interior Of the Moldavian home
was immaculate and vivid, brightly
colored curtains and hangings being
used. The people are deeply religious,
and each orthodox home has it's altar.
The Bessarabian women are sprightly,
bright-eyed and pretty.

No, reader, this corn was not grown
by one Of our local farmers! 1t wasn't
grown in the United States, even. 1t
was grown in the faroff Philippine IS
lands by Filipino schoolboys. Two fine
crops of corn a year are produced in
the Islands.
The Philippines are doing some won
derful things in the agricultural line.
The Philippine government has fine ag-
ricultural schools throughout the is
lands, and the Philippine legislature,
composed entirely of Filipinos, is each
year making larger and larger appro-
priations for this important work.
The staple food of the islands is rice,
but corn is coming right along in popu-
lar favor. It's use was given great i'm
petus in tie last year because of rice

shortage. Other important Philippine
crops are hemp, sugar cane, cocoanuts,
coffee, tapioca and pineapples. Lum-
Der Is also an important industry.
There are hundreds Of thousands of
acres of land lying idle in the Philip
pines, which have a greater area of
fertile land than Japan-this in spite
of the fact that the population Of the
Philippines is 100000 while that of
Japan is around 100000. There is
every reason to believe that some day
the Philippines will have.a population
as large as that of Japan today. The
Filipinos are the only Christian people
in the orient, and their young men are
working night and day to prepare
themselves for the responsibility of
citizenship in the Philippine Republic,
which they believe to be near at hand.

There is still a chance to grow a
crop Of potatoes, according to ]. T.
Rosa, Jr., of the University of Mis-
souri,, College of Agriculture. The
usual planting of early potatoes was
prevented or delayedin many places
this year b ythe cold wet weather,
and reports from other sections do
not indicate that potatoes will be
very plentiful. Therefore, every
gardener should grow a late crop Of
potatoes, sufficient at least for the
home supply.
Experiments the last two years
have shown that late potatoes can be
grown quite successfully in central
Missouri. For north Missouri, the
planting date is the last week in June,
for central and south Missouri the
first two weeks of July. Seed pota-
toes should be kept in cold storage
until planting time arrives, or they
may be kept by spreading out thinly
on the floor of a light room. New"
or early potatoes should not be used
for planting the late crop, except
in the extreme southern part of the
state. Thirty varieties tested at Col
umbia have given a fair stand in
most cases and have produced fair
to good yields. Three varieties have
given especially good results, namely
Mccormick, ~ePachblow, end Banner.
Other late varieties have done well
also, while early varieties, such as
'Cobbler, and Ohio, have given fair
results.
Late potatoes should grow until
late in the fall, when the vines are
killed by frost. The keeping and eat
ing qualities of late potatoes are ex-
cellent.

1t is estimated by Audrain County
farmers that about rs per cent of the
corn to be planted here will be in by
Saturday night. Several farmers
have finished their planting but the
number Of such is small as compared
to the number who have not complet-
ed seeding their corn ground. Milton
Armstrong of Auxvasse, was in Mex
leo Thursday and said that he had
put in all the corr he intends to, but
that many in his part of the country
have not. They have had a big rain
in that section since the last m that
came in the neighborhood of Mexico.
George Doeblin, of Rush Hill, while
in Mexico Friday, said that there was
a great deal of land on the flats a
round in his section which the farm
ers had not yet been able to even get
on, since the heavy rains Of the early
spring. Chas. P. Arnold, who farms
a few miles north of Mexico, says
that he is blowing corn ground that
is working like silk" but that a field
just across from his is so wet that
it cakes badly when it is worked
This same condition seems to exist
almost all over the county. Some
farmers are wanting rain and others
are pleased with the present condi'
ton of the soil and want wet weather
to hold off until they have finished
planting. One farmer in the count!
reports a corn field filled with crack!
