soil or used on other land devoted
to different crops.
Where sufficient area is available
so that part can be devoted to soil I'M
proving crops each year, these should
be put in as the vegetable crops are
harvested. Crimson clover is an ex
cellent soil improver, but can not be
grown in all sections. Winter oats,
barley, rye, vetch, and combinations
of these are good. Where the same
area is used for the garden year after
year a fall application OF manure is
very desirable. If manure can not be
secured, it may pay to sow the garden

many sections there is time between
late fall and early spring vegetables
for a good growth of these crops.

CHESTNUT TREES FOR POLES
Selection Is More Carefully Made
Than Average Person Thinks-
Defects Looked For. -

Not every tall chestnut tree is
worthy of becoming telephone pole
the selection of poles is more care
fully made than the average person
thinks. Chestnut and eastern white
cedar furnish the bulk of the eastern
pole timber. Specifications for chest
nut poles generally require material
TO be of good quality second-growth
timber, of specified dimensions, butt
cut, squared at both ends, reasonably
straight, well proportioned from tip
to butt, peeled and with knots trimmed
close. .
Defects looked for in inspection are
crookedness, split tops and butts. sap
and butt rot, checks and shakes. Poles
are assigned to two or three classes.
according to their length, top circum-
ference and circumference measured
at feet from the butt. Poles of the
40-foot class, for example, are re-
quired by one. representative pole
company to be "a inches in top cir
conference and 4S inches in basal
circumference, while second-class
poles of the same length measure only

Question of Paying Claims of
Persons Injured in Ireland
Puzzles Great Britain

b DUBLIN, Dec 14.-Recorders and
judges are daily awarding thousands
of pounds as compensation to people
who have suffered loss or injury dur.
ing the fighting with the British
forces. but few of these awards seem
likely to materialize in hard cash.
There is no money with which to pay
them
Sir Hama Greenwood, Secretary of
State for Ireland, answering an inqui-
ry in the British House of Commons,
put the total amount of awards to Sep
TENDER 30 last at 100000 pounds;
but the amount involved in the 26
southern counties is at least 10000
600 mounds, while another 2,000,00
pounds has to be added for the area
in Ulster.
Some of the claimants are Sim
Feiners ard others are business men
who took no part in politics.
When an award is made, the local
authority is supposed to levy a spe-
cial tax for the purpose, but since
Sim Feline assumed political control
of the country. no local authority in
southern Ireland has imposed such a

Jamaica is stated to have been Sc
rously affected by the situation. Dur
ing the last five years exporting firms
made very large profits, but prices now
have fallen to the pre-war scale, and in
some instances below it.
Coffee has fallen from sc to sos and

to 3os, pimento from 38s to los, honey
from ISIS to 3s per gallon, and other
articles in proportion. Even the banana
trade is reported to have been at q
standstll, owing to the shortage Of
fruit caused by the drouth.
