GERMANS DRAINING 1
ALSACE LOME;
OF ILL SUPPLIES
WITH THE FRENCH ARMIES, Aug.'
13.—Alsace and Lorraine are being
milked dry by Germans while they still
have the opportunit to do so, accord
ing to authoritive information that has
just reached France byway of Switz
erland.
So clean is the final sweep now be- '
in,g made by the Germans both of
everything eatable and usable that the
condition of the civil population, de
spite the fact that Alsace and Lorraine. I
still rank as German provinces, is little ■
if any better than that of the inhabi
tants of invaded Belgium.
All metals that could be used in the
manufacture of war materials was long
ago taken by the Germans, including
the church and school bells, organ
pipes, door knobs, stills and cookin’
utensils. Amongst the latest things re
quisitioned were the famous bells of
the Strasbourg cathedral which were
hung in 1805 to replace the historic
bells destroyed during the revolution.
Food restrictions and food requisi
tions are now being imposed. Not only
are the Germans requisitioning all live
stock, but the inhabitants of Alsace and.
Lorraine are under military orders,.
with military penalities attached, not to
kill a single food animal.
Requisition is also being made of
smoked meats, dried fruits, potatoes,
vegetables, wheat and flour.
The restrictions have reached
a point where the farmers are no long
er allowed either to milk their town
cows or collect the eggs laid by their
own hens. All this is done by the Ger
man soldiers in order that every par
ticle of food may be controlled and,
may go to the German authorities. As
the farmers no longer have the use of
their own milk, butter is no longer to
be found. Oil and coffee are also no
longer obtainable.
These conditions coupled with the |
liquidation by the eGrmans of all prop- j
erties owned entirely or in part by .
French capital and French people have:
reduced the position of the civil popu-1
lation to one of half-starved and abject
misery.
MANY NQTABLESTO
ATTENDCDNYENTIUN
KANSAS CITY, Mo., Aug 13.—Mon
signor John Bonzano, apostolic dele
gate to the United States, seven or
more archbishops, thirty bishops and
several thousand priests and laymen, it
is expected, will attend the sixteenth |
annual convention of the American
Federation of Catholic Societies, which
will be held here August 26-29.
This year's convention, it is declared,
will be one of the most important in
the history of the organization as it is
expected that action will be taken upon
the so-called "diocesan plan,” under
which it is proposed to affiliate all
Catholic bodies in the country with
the American Federation. There are
110 dioceses in the country and if the
plan is put into effect the federation
officials say its membership will be
I increased from 3,000,000 to about 18,-
' 000,000.
The plan was proposed at the con
vention last year, and it was decided
t-v take action at this year's meeting.
The movement was indorsed at a con
ference of tht American archbishops in
XV ashington some time ago. The Amer
ican federation is the largest Cath
olic body in the country, and a num
ber of large organizations already are
affiliated with it. The diocesan plan
' would bring all of the smaller societies
into affiliation.
How the Roman Catholics of Amer
ica may help win the war also will be
discussed at the convention,
j Prelates from all parts of the coun
try will be here, it is expected. Among
them, in addition to Monsignor Bon
zano, will be: Archbishops Mundelein.
Chicago; Glennon, St. Louis; Hanna,
San Francisco; Harty. New Orleans;
Moeller, Cincinnati; Christie, Portland,
and Messmer, Milwaukee.
An elaborate program for the enter
tainment of the visitors has been ar
ranged by the members of the local
branch of the federation. The con
vention will open Sunday morning,
August 26, with a pontifical high mass
with Monsignor Bonzano as celebrant.
The sermon will be delivered by Arch
bishop Glennon. In the evening there
will be a mass meeting in Convention
Hall over which Archbishop Glennon
will preside. Addresses of welcome will
be delivered by Bishop Thomas F. Lil
lis of Kansas City; Mayor George Ed
wards, Kansas City, and John Whalen.
|New York, president of the federation. s
The principal addresses will be by
[Monsignor Bonzano and Judge Martin!
J. Wade, lowa City, lowa.
Monday, August 27, will be devoted
I entirely to business sessions, with a
/‘Catholic Day” celebration at a local
park in the evening. Tuesday morn
ing a pontifical requiem mass will be
' said at the cathedral for Archbishop
Blenk, New Orleans; Bishop James A.
; McFaul, Trenton, N. J., and the de
ceased members of the federation. In
the evening a meeting under the aus
pices of the social service commission
of the federation will be held. Bishop
P J. Muldoon, of Rockford, 111., will
preside. The closing business session
is set for Wednesday morning. In the i

NBT miSIBLL TO
CARRY OVER FIRST
CROP OFJUFBK
WASHINGTON, D. C.. Aug. 13.—1 t is
not advisable under ordinary condi-;
tions to attempt to carry over a large.
supply of first crop potatoes than is (
necessary to bridge the interval be-,
tween the first and second crops. The
winter supply of potatoes in the,
South should be obtained from the sec-j
ond crop, according to specialists of
the United States Department of Agri-,
culture. Because of a surplus of Irish
potatoes from the first crop many farm
ers in the South are asking the de-,
partment if it is advisable to try to
carry this crop into the winter. De-,
partment specialists do not believe,
■ such a practice should be encouraged
because it would require much better,
i storage conditions than are now poss-,
eased or that could be provided econ '
• omically. The second crop, harvested
■ at a cooler season, can be stored sue-,
cessfully in cheap and ordinary farm
• storage and kept until spring.
; Farmers should, however, be able to
• hold a sufficient quantity of well-ma-,
. tured tubers of the first-crop potatoes
, to supply local and state needs until
the second crop is harvested. This
, may be done with a fair degree of suc
cess, the specialists say. in a cheap
- dugout such as is commonly found on
- the truck farms in the South. The best
I plan is to store the potatoes in open
■ slat crates thus assuring good ventil
, ation and avoiding any risk from heat
J ing. Newly harvested and partially im-
■ mature stored in a large pile
- during hot weather are likely to heat
3 and thus furnish suitable conditions
i for the spread of fungous diseases, and
i also cause a higher loss of moisture.
1 Small, immature, mechanically injured
- o’- decayed tubers should not be stored.
- and only a well-ventilated pit from
. which the light can be wholly excluded,
should be used.

BLUME BflO LUCK
OF BAVARIA FOB
GERMAyEVEBbE
PARIS, August 13. —The secret of the
recent brilliant successes scored by
the allies in Flanders is out. The re
treat of the Germans under the smash
ing blows delivered by the British and
French was not due to poor fighting
on the part of the Teutons, nor was it
[because of the superior leadership or
numbers on the part of the allies. Any
one of the many thousands of German
prisoners captured during the furious
fighting of the past week will tell you
the answer. In their opinion the re
cent reverses suffered by the Germans
are due solely to the proverbial ill
luck that has followed the royal house
ot Bavaria for generations.
It would be impossible to convince
the average German that there exists
a possibility of success for any army
fighting under the command of Prince
Ruprecht of Bavaria, despite the fact
that from the military viewpoint he is
one of the ablest leaders of the war,
as was proven when he stopped the
tide of advancing British on the Somme
last year. But Ruprecht is a Bavarion
heir to the throne, in fact, and Ger
mans long ago came to look upon every
member of the Bavarian royal house as
a “jinx,” as the Americans put it.
Unlnckiest of Families.
There is no disputing the fact that
[ the Bavarian royal family has long
! been one of the unluckiest in all Eu
rope. Every newspaper reader is able
to recall the ill fate that has pursued
its rulers for generations. The trag
ic history of the family dates back
to the dreamer, King Ludwig 11.
From his earliest childhood, Ludwig
showed signs of insanity. But it was
not until 1864, when he ascended the
throne, that his eccentricities began
to be noticed. He was nominally
1 succeeded on the throne by his brother.
'Otto, who proved still more mad than
i Ludwig. The first symptoms of King
: Otto’s madness were visible during the
i Franco-German war, when he called
■out a squad of cavalry to charge
'straight against a stone wall, which he
'insisted was a body of the enemy's in - *
fantry.
1 During the life time of King Otto the |
: country was ruled under the regency of
! his uncle, Prince Luitpold, who died in j
11912, in his 92nd year. Less than a '
i year later the mad old King Otto was ■
' deposed and was succeeded on the
throne by his cousin, the present King
Ludwig, father of Prince Ruprecht, who '
l is commanding the German division
that has borne the brunt of the allied ,
onslaughts in Flanders during the past .
two weeks.
Bavarian Curse Follows.
The Bavarian curse seems to have
extended to the present heir to the
throne. He has been unfortunate in
1 is military career and extremely un
happj; in his family life. His wife was
a sister to the present queen of the
Belgians, and was celebrated through
out Germany not only for her wonder
ful charms as a woman, but also for
her love of music and art and the help
|s he gave her father in scientific la
bors.
j Ruprecht and the lovely Princess
Gabrielle came together at Florence in
'March of 1900, the engagement was
1 publicly announced at Easter and they
'were married in July. The wedded life
of the royal couple, begun happily and
J full of that happiness which the pres
' ence of children can give, was not so
happy in other ways, and it came to
'a gloomy end when the crown princess,
broken in health, depressed by family
bereavement and by the death of her
1 three year old son, and tired of her
troubles, died suddenly at Sorrento,
' Italy of paralysis ot the heart In 1912.
■ In these twelve years, there had been
I five children, one of whom in 1906,
died still-born. The first child, Luit
[pold, born in 1901, grew up, under
the mother’s wonderful maternal care,
into a beautiful boy, and was taken
away by diphtheria three years ago, af
ter his father had gone to the front.
The other children were Irmingard.
' who died a baby; Albert, born in 1905,
['and still living, and little Rudolph,
born in 1909, whose sudden death in
! 1912, was the final blow to his up
happy mother.

PEANUTS BRING HIGH
PRICE WHEN STACKED
Vines Ripen Normally And Give a
Bright, Nutritious Hay Equal
To Cowpea Vines
Instead of small, wrinkled nuts and ,
poor quality hay, as results from sun- [
cured peanuts, stacked peanuts ripen
normally and develop heavy nuts of
excellent quality along with a bright,•
nutritious hay equal to cowpea hay for :
feeding purposes, says Mr. Tabor of
the State College of Agriculture.
To stack peanuts select a stout pole
eight to ten feet high, set firmly in
the ground and nail two cross pieces
about a foot above the ground. The ■
peanut vines should be gathered be
fore they dry out and piled about the
pole. The first vines are placed on
the cross pieces with the nuts toward I
the pole and the stack should be one 1
vine thick as measured from the pole, i
The stacks are made as high as one j
can conveniently reach and the tops :
capped with grass to keep the birds !
from the nuts at the top of the stack. I
Five to six weeks is generally long '
enough to allow for curing, though the I
peanuts will keep longer in the stack
if other farm work is pressing. When |
the peanuts are to be hauled to the
picker, the poles are loosened and the
stacks loaded without tearing them up.
In unloading grasp the poles below the
cross pieces, and shake the entire
stack on the picker or thresher.
The acreage of peanuts in Georgia
has increased according to crop esti
mates, 220 per cent this year. Mills
in southwest Georgia crushing cotton
seed have arranged to take care of all
the peanuts offered and it is thought
that a considerable amount will be
crushed.
SECURE HOME GROWN
SEED OATS QUICKLY
Owing to the fact that the major
portion of the oat'crop was winter
killed this year and that the supply
of seed is very short, farmers are
urged by Mr. Childs of the United
States Department of Agriculture and
the State College of Agriculture to se- i
cure home grown seed oats as soon as
possible from those counties in south
Georgia, where fair yields were ob
tained. Most of the seedsmen and a
number of individual farmers have a
limited supply on hand at present, and
farmers are therefore urged to secure
their seed for fall planting as soon as
possible, inasmuch as the supply of
native grown seed is limited.
Many inquiries have been received
as to the use of Texas and Oklahoma
grown Red Rustproof oats for seeding
in Georgia. These oats will not do so
well as our native seed, even though
they can be purchased cheaper. Most
of the oats in that section of the coun
try are grown for spring seeding,
while we want to seed them in the
early fall. If home grown seed can
not be obtained, the Texas crop is the
next best source, but when seed are
secured from that section the buyer i
should satisfy himself that pure win
ter grown Rustproof seed are secured
and that they are fr.ee from such ob
noxious seeds as Johnson grass.
According to reports from Texas
and Oklahoma the corn crop of those
sections is practically a failure, due
to recent drought, and it is likely that
a large part of the oat crop will be
fed unless purchased soon for seed.
LEGHORNSPROVEBEST
FOR EGG PRODUCTION
Because they lay more and eat less
Leghorns produce eggs cheaper than
hens of the general purpose breeds—
Plymouth Rocks, Wyandottes, Rhode
Island Reds and Orpingtons—says the
United States Department of Agricul
ture, and the Georgia State College
of Agriculture.
Feeding tests have shown that the
feed cost of a dozen eggs for one of
the Leghorn pens was 7:34 cents in
1913, while the average cost of all
the pens of the general-purpose breeds
was 10.6 cents. In 1914 the feed cost
of a dozen eggs for the same pen of
Leghorns was 8.7 cents as against an
average cost of 15.1 cents for the sec
ond laying year of the general-purpose
pens. During their third laying year
the cost of a dozen eggs was 8.8 cents
compared to 18.6 cents for the general
purpose fowls. The total value of
eggs per hen over feed cost in the
Leghorn pen for three years was 36.84
against $4.30 for the general-purpose
hens. The highest egg production ob
tained in any of the feeding experi
ments up to 1915 was by a pen of
Leghorns, which laid 157.6 eggs per
hen, at a feed cost ot 6.7 cents a
dozen.
The value per dozen of the eggs
produced by the Leghorns was from
1 to 3 cents less each year than the
eggs of general-purpose hens. This
difference is due to the fact that the
general-purpose breeds are better win
ter layers than the Leghorns, while
the latter give a higher production in
the spring and summer. Very few
Leghorns become broody, which prob
ably materially affects their egg yield
as compared with the general-purpose
breeds. Better fertility in the eggs,
especially with stock confined to the
yards, is more often secured with Leg
horns than with the general-purpose
,-r any of the heavier breeds.

Even if Buckeye Hulls cost as much as old style hulls it would still

Mr. S. L. Jone*, Jackton, La., says:
"1 have been feeding my dairy cows Buckeye Hulls and
find that they do as well on Buckeye Hulls as on old
style and that they like the Buckeye Hulls better than
the old style.”
To secure the best results and to develop the eqsilage odor, wet the hulls
thoroughly twelve hour* before feeding. It is easy to do this by
wetting them down night and morning for the next feeding. If at any time
this cannot be done, wet down at least thirty minutes. If you prefer to
feed the hulls dry, use only half as much by bulk as of old style hulls.
