at once-a man can cut wheat for thirty
days Off the same field
The methods of cultivation practiced in
the wheat belt are characteristic of Au
stralia, and the methods are adapted to
the climatic and economic conditions Of
the country. In much of the wheat belt
moisture is the limiting factor for sue
cessful production, consequently long
moisture fallOws are used as a prepare
ton for the wheat crop. Generally
speaking the land is fallowed for nine
to ten months prior to sowing; but in
some cases following is commenced fif-
teen TO eighteen months before seeding.
This judicious practice conserves mois-
ture, places at the disposal Of the wheat

utes the work of the farm evenly through

The fallows are unusually prepared in

SET FIRE
TO VILLAGES.
Hunger stricken people in the famine
districts of Russia are setting fire to
their villages before deserving them for
other parts Of Russia, according to a
Helsingfors dispatch to the Central News
Agency quoting persistent reports said
to have been received this morning from
the interior of Russia. Many villages are
said to be in flames
From the same source it was reported
that great preparations were being made
to deal with the masses of peasants now
moving toward Moscow. Many trenches
have been dug about the city, and much
war material, including field guns, has
been installed, the reports said.
Other kilograms received at Helsing
fors reported that the PetrOgrad garrison
had mutinied.

CASES OF CHOLERA

WASHINGTON, Aug. 4-The serious
ness of the cholera epidemic in soviet
Russia was emphasized today when ad
vices were received in official quarters
showing that there were Alto cases re-
ported between Jan. l and July 10.
These figures have been admitted by
officials of the soviet government and
were printed in the official newspaper.
The Moscow Isvestia on July Is. Amer
lean consular agents abroad telegraphed
them to the State Department today.
OF the total cases $4,000 were reported
during June, indicating that the epidemic
is growing.
The department was still without adj
vices as to whether soviet Russia has
complied with the demand for release
Of the Americans held prisoner in Russia.
The department received overnight
dispatches quoting the soviet news agency
that the prisoners had been released,
but the department was not inclined to
accept the source as authentic.
None of the Americans reported re-
leased have reached the border yet, SO
far as the department is advised.

ROTATION SYSTEM
GENERALLY USED.
The rotation system used in the ma
jority Of cases is a three-cours one with
wheat, pasture and bare-fallow. The
average sized holding is about six hun
dred and forty acres and approximately
one third is sown each year with wheat
one third worked as a bare fallow and
one-third is lying in grass or pasture and
is used for grazing sheep. The average
$40 acre wheat farm, beside growing the
200 acres of wheat. carries from $50 to
200 cross bred breeding ewes which are
used for the production Of export lambs
by mating these crossbred ewes with
rams Of the DOWN breeds such as Shrop-

EXPERTS HOLD
BATTLESHTP IS
SUPREME ON SEA

WAsHINGTOE, Aug 4.--The battle
ship is still the supreme weapon of sea
warfare.
This, it was learned today is the es-
sence of the report submitted to the joint
Army and Navy board by the official
observers who watched the recent aerial
bombing tests of obsolete and former
German naval craft of the Virginia capes
1t is understood the observers do not
think the tests which eliminated in the
spectacular sinking of the ex-German
battleship Ostfriesland by 2.0O0-pound
aerial bombs should bring about a re-
versal in the present construction of the
American Navy.
However, a number of technical changes
in the future construction of American
war vessels to meet the progress of aerial
warfare are said TO be recommended.
Whether changes aIe % be made in
the future construction of the 1916 Naval
building program as a result of the
boards report is now being studied by

LACKING IN SOLUBLE
PHOSPHORIC ACID.
One interesting feature Of Australian
soils is their deficiency IN soluble phos-
phOric acid This is true of nearly all
countries south Of the equator. Right
throughout the wheat belt the applica-
ton of small quantities Of superphos-
pilates gives a marvellous response in
stimulating wheat yields Formerly ii
was thought that forty TO fifty pounds
Of superphosphste was the most desirable
dressing TO use, bus experiments by the
State Department OF Agriculture of Vic
toria have demonstrated that dressings of
100 to $50 pounds can be applied with
every prospect OF profit.
The superphosphate industry Of Aus
tralia has assumed great proportions and
nearly 80 per cent of the wheat crop
now is fortified with this manure.
Strange to say, although the soil is not
rich in nitrates. heterogeneous manures
give no response in the wheat belt This
is due TO the fact that climatic condi-
lions are very favorable. for the pro
duction of nltrates in the soil through
the agency Of nitrify .lg bacteria. In
any case the application of nitrates in
