 UEFIk GROUND FREEZES One oEsthe last jobs to be done in the Yarden-and one of the most important Is to cover everything tender in pFepara- ton for the long winter nap.
 Some people are under the mtsappre- hsasion that mulching fin the winter time covering the tender things with strawey manure or similar material-is done in order to prevent the, plants from freezing. On the contrary. the mulch should not be put on the garden growth until after the ground has been frozen hard, and the AGnts with it.

THE FARMERS OPPORTUNITY.


 The time is certainly at hand when this nation will eat as much food as 1t pro- ducee. Any further increase in demand which will surely come with enlarging in 'dustry and expanding city population will give our farmers a better market for their pro3vcts. It is very unlikely that the numbers of people engaged in farming will increase as Capidly as will the na- tional population. We know that the en- largement of our good farming area has it's Limitations. The possibilities of inn ports of foodstuffs are fully as limited. Other nations are ahead of us in looking for outside food sources, and these out side sources are limited. In other words, the demand for horne-produced food IS almost certain to tend to expand faster than the supply. That Is a happier out look for the farmers than for the city people.
 No amount of increase of demand will make every farmer pros9eFeus, nor will it make good crops and high prices every year. There will always be ups and downs, and there will always be some who fail to succeed. Year in and year out, however, the progressive farmers should be glad \in the future that they did not give up the land. Their business chances should besfully as good as the city mans. One thing, however. Amert- can agriculture must learn: If this na- tion is going to eat more food than t produces, the first job of our farmers il to study the home market. The real de- mand for our food will not be iH fereigr trade. Home consumption will be the demand. to which the farm will cater, and those who study. this home demand most 1 carefully will reap the best profts.- Prof. Robert McFall in Farm Life

Ground that is prepared and fer tilized a long time before being planted has chance to settle before the plants are set into it; and the longer the inter val between its preparation and the time of. planting the better, fer then theSma- nure used will be well below the surface and largely converted into available forms of plant food, and the surface soil be all ready to be worked up after win ter's disiutegrating action on the parti- cles of the soil.

Germany for many years to come, but,

he did not whine about Germany's

of Bolshevism as a bugbear to frighten
the Allies Given time and the oppor-

Theodore Wolff, editor OF the Berliner
Td9eblatt. The policy Of the Tage6Iatt
was Democratic, in opposition TO the
Majority Socialist Vortoderts. the off,
cial Government organ. which was al
ways walking the political tightrope
balancing itself between the prole-
tariat and the bourgeoisie. I first met
Wolff at Weimar just before the first
session OF the historic National AS
sembly, held in the Goethe Memorial
Theater. where provisional constitu
ton was drawn up and Ebert elected
first President of Germany. Later, in
Berlin | saw q great deal OF him at
his home in the Hohencollern strasse.
Wolff was the exponent OF the point
Of view OF the "l<leinburger. the solid
merchant class. If he had not been
suspicious of the ti-Semitism OF the
Nationalists he would probably have
ranged himself with the more con-
servative element He took an impish
delight in trying to frighten the coun-
try, and incidentally the Allies, with
the bogey of "Bolshevismus" No one
who was not in Germany in the early
days after the armistice can have an
idea Of the JUNCTION with which the
word was rolled from the tongues OF
the German middle bourgeoisie at that

way to bully the Allies into granting
better peace terms and ii was a long

Perhaps the most entertaining Of
all the newspapers during this period
was Die Wet am Montd0, whose edi-

concerting way of telling the truth
about everything, now ridiculing the

sequently there were several occa-

pressed by the Government The
greatest tempest in a teapot was
stirred up by Won Gerlach in the
spring Of 1919, when. after a trip to
Posen, he frankly condemned the con-
nivance of the Government with the
attempts of the F'reikorps to stir up
trouble on the Polish border and ac-
cused the German commission ap-
pointed to negotiate with the Poles Of

one or two of these phrases. "A basic

shallow philosopher who does not sense
in science the love OF truth, in art the
