THE COURIER PUBLISHED EVERY THURSDAY WM. C. HAMMER, EDITOR Asheboro, N. C, June 3, 1915. GERMANY'S REPLY Who would have thought it! Ger many dodged the issue in reply to President Wilson's note as to the sink ing of the Lusitania. The President's note was clear-cut in stating our position. The German reply is evasive, admitting nothing and while polite an effort is made to shift burden of proof on our shoul ders. It is declared the sinking of the Lu sitania is in "justified self-defense," and refers to the sinking as an "un intentional attack." The reply is not satisfactory, and President Wilson's rejoinder may be expected to be prompt and as firm and unyielding as his first note, and the American peo pie will feel that their interests are safe in his hands. The Charlotte Observer recalls the fact that it required months for the Federal troops attacking Fort Sumpt er during the Civil War, to get a gun that would throw a shell into Charles ton, and that when they did succeed in getting such a gun it was the wonder of the world. This gun was known as the "Swamp Angel" and it managed to throw a few shells into the vicinity of St. Michael's church, but the dam age done was small, mainly in the na ture of cracking walla and chipping plaster. How different are the modern guns used by the belligerents in the European War! If the Germans had eotten within 20 miles of Paris, the city would probably have been dis astrously damaged. When the Ger mans besieged Dunkirk, they sent shells through 20 miles of space from their big siege guns, the shells land ing in the town and tearing up craters 45 feet in diameter. Compared to these monster guns of the Germans the "Swamp Angel" was a mere toy pistol. PLANT A GARDEN EAT VEGE TABLES In a recent issue of the Memphis Commercial Appeal, is an editorial, urging upon people the importance of grasping the opportunity of lowering the high cost of living by eating the fruits of the ground. The land to waiting to be planted, vegetable seed are cheap, even now is not too late to plant many vegetables, and gardens will succeed with little effort. In crowded cities gardens have grown and prospered on the roof tops. Plant a garden even if your back yard is no larger than a spare bed room. We do not pay sufficient attention to the food we eat. We are eating en tirely too much meat and pastry for our good. Nature provides vegeta bles and we should eat them. And, if you raise your own "garden truck" it will give you much more pleasure in eating than if you bought from some one else. Who can fail to enjoy pick ing tomatoes fresh from the vine, and gathering the succulent peas, snaps, and onions for his table ? Dean Watts, of the Pennsylvania State College, in a recent address, gave the housewife something to pon der over when he assrted that more vegetables on the family table are not only necessary to lower the cost of liv ing but also to prevent illness and re duce doctor's bills. According to the same authority, vegetables are more heathful than meat. Whether we be lieve this to be true or not, it is a fact that we do eat enirely too much meat and too few vegetables. In the spring, especially, green stuff should occupy an important place on our tables. The blood is thick and sluggish at this season of the year, and the system needs Nature's tonic, which can be found in the garden. CASH SYSTEM FOR THE COURIER The Courier now goes into the homes of almost every reading home in this county, but there are some who are not subscribers for The Cou rier. We are now starting a cam paign to place The Courier in every home in thi3 section ox the btaxe. This may not be done, but we will not lack much of it, when we complete our Rubscrintion campaign, we are now making. We have tried the credit system and it is a dead loss for a weekly newspaper. In the future, The Cou rier will nlace no name on the sub scription books without payment in advance. Every citizen in this section of the State should take The Courier, no mat ter what others he takes. He will more than get his money's worth. In many instances where the heads of families do not take The Courier, the house wife or some of the boys or girls are subscribers. This is the case for the reason that the housekeeper and young people always find some thing in The Courier of Interest to them. The friends of The Courier can rreatlv aid us by speaking A land word to their neighbors who are not subscribers, and encourage them to become subscribers. Please help us and benefit them as well by encouraging all who are not subscribers to take The Courier with out further delay. To all who pay up arreages in their subscription and pay to January 1, 1916, wc will send The Progressive Farmer for six months without ad ditional cost. To all new sub scribers, we will send The Courier until January 1, 1916, and Progressive Farmer six months. All should take advantage of this extraordinary offer. BEST TIME TO CUT OATS AND CRIMSON CLOVER FOR HAY A Tennessee reader has a field of oats and crimson clover ' which he wishes to cut for hay. He says: "Some say the clover will kill horses after it gets in full bloom. Is it un safe to feed such hay to work stock?" If the crop is not cut until all the crimson clover is in bloom, some of it will be rather ripe for the best re suits, in so far as the crimson clover is affected. The oats, however, es pecially if they are the winter or turf variety, are not likely to be suflicient ly mature for the best results at an earlier stage of the crimson clover; hence, we think that when the crim son clover is in full bloom is proba' bly the best time to cut such a mix ture for making into hay. Many have reported bad results from feeding crimson clover hay. We are convinced that crimson clover has been charged with the causing of more trouble than it has really been responsible for. It is generally 6tated that over-ripe crimson clover is most likely to cause the formation of so- called "hair-balls" in the intestines of horses, and for this reason it is probably best to cut out the crimson clover when the first heads first start to turn brown. We would not hesi tate to feed a mixture of oats and crimson clover that had been cut when the crimson clover was in full bloom and properly cured. Progress ive Farmer. SUBSCRIPTIONS PAID J. A.
