Last night's dispatches go further into the details of the presence of the Ameri can boats. Queenstown, May 16. A squadron of American torpedo boat destroyers tias safely crossed the Atlantic and is patroKng the seas in war service. The American navy's actual entry into the war zone has already been productive of a ibrusb between a de stroyer and a German underwater boat, according to an anouncement by the British admiralty, but the re sult of it has not been made ipublic. The destroyer squadron arrived in Queenstdwn after an uneventful voy a'gie across the Atlantic, but almost immediately after a formal exchange of greetings with the British officials put to sea again for the hard work that is before it. Crowd Greets Americans. A crowd of several (hundred per sons some of them carrying tiny Am erican flags, lined the water front and cheered the destroyers from the moment they first sighted the flotil la until it Teached! the dock. The crowd cheered again when a few mo ments later the American senior offi cer and Wesley Frost, the American consul, who had come down to the dock to welcome the flotilla. Every thing -was done in a simple, business ike manner. There was an entire ab sence of formality. The commander of the British flo tilla was waiting on board his ship and sent wireless greetings to the American units as soon as they hove in sight, steaming on a long line into the hanbor. Ready for Business. After the exchange of shore greet ings and the British commander had congratulated the American officer on their safe voyage, he askedr: "When will you be ready for busi ness : "We can start at once," the Ameri can commander repliedi promptly. This response sovcharaeteristically American, surprised the British com; mander, who said he had not expected the Americans "would be ready to be gin work on this side so soon after their long voyage. When he had re covered from his surprise, however, he made a short tour of the destroy ers and admitted that the American tars looked (prepare.. "Yesi," replied the' American com mander, "We made preparations on the way over. That is why we are ready." The equipment ui board the de stroyers was found to be in excellent condition and remarkably 'well suit able to the "requirements on this side of the ocean. In fact, h, was said by the British officer, that the only thing lacking in the equipment of the Am erican sailors was heavier clothing.lt appears that the Americans were wearing clothing too light for the varying weather conditions they will encounter in these waters. This lack, however, was quickly provided for. After the formalities had ended and the needs of the men were at tended to the American ships at once put out to sea, -the men from captains to ordinary seamen looking in the pink of condition and apparently en thusiastic for their task.

Williams, $3we, Division of Agronomy 'Nt?. "Eseperiment Sta tion). . . . . Thereris gret shortage in he pros pective crop of Mjrimfon clover seed for this fail's planting. Every far n?er who has crimson clqyer should, make a special effort this yeavof all. year to harvest the seed from his en tire crop. There is every indication that the seed will be very high in price at next planting time. New is the time of year that plans should be made 'to be ready to save the seed when .the crop is ready for harvesting. 'This may be done iby the use of strippers or by cutting the crop at the right stage with a mow ing machine, and then later, after the crop has dried out well, separate the seed from the dried plants by the use of a pitch fonk Care. should be ex ercised that the handling in curing the plants be as little as possible and be done when the plants are slight ly moist from dew. For this reason all handling of the hay should be done during the early moThing or late af ternoon hours. In using a stripper the seed may be gathered' directly from the stalf after the deiw is off by sacking from the stripper. The seed should (be dry before storing them away in the bam. Exposure to the sun for a few hours In the sacks or by spreading them on the ground or on a sheet will ibe all that is neces sary to be assured of thoroughly dried seed. Most farmers have found from their own experience that the crimson clover seed wfhich they bave saved themselves in the hull, gave as good or beter results than clean seed which they bought. The nulls around the seed are thought to retain consider able moisture that facilitates germi nation of the seed tn dry weather as is the case "when sown in the early fall when moisture conditions are not always satisfactory. At least 3 to 5 times aa many pounds of seed in the hull should be used m order to have good seed than would be used of the clean seed. THE BENEFITS OF POULTRY. The Necessity of Producing An Ex tra Pound of Poultry Product for Every Man, Woman and Child in , the , United States. (By fi.'E. Richards, President of the American Poultry Association.) Before -another hatching season, the great United States will be in the deepest throes of the world's most cruel war and no one can foretell the countless thousands that may be cry ing for bread. It is up to the United States, the world's greatest, richest, and most resourceful nation, to not only look after the welfare of her own citizens, but to give aid and as sistance in supplying food to count less thousands of suffering humanity in the torn and stricken war zone. The great agricultural resources of America must prepare to assume this burden. Every one of us must do our bit. Every acre, every nook and corner must bear its share. It is lucky that in poultry we can produce the cheapest and most quickly pro- duced meat of al? the various sources of our meat supply. Here, we have an opportunity of producing an extra one hundred million pounds if the American farmers, the fanciers and breeders will give their attention to hatching during the months of May and June. It is a well known fact that the available supply of meat products is today the lowest in our country, pe capita, in the bistory of the United States. In order to meet the extreme ly dangerous condition, we have with in ourselves a wonderful opportunity of aiding what may prove to be a world-wide cry for food. Let us all join enthusiastically in the propagan da of helping in the probable time of need, by putting forth now every ef fort to meet, in a measure, the demand that is sure to come, for untold quan tities of foodstuffs. Never in the history of the world will there be a greater demand than in the next "twenty-four months that are to fol low. For the past twenty-four months we have been killing the goose chat has been laying the golden egg, and with the hue and cry of costly feed,' poultry and all meat products have been, soaring far above all the usual estimates as to the relative cost of production, and the selling price. The margin of profit on the production of eggs and poultry for meat is far in excess of the percentage of profit in normal times. But aside from the question of profit, we Americans must look at the situation from a philan thropic and humanitarian- standpoint and each and eVery one "do his bit" to meet an exigency that seems in evitable. Let us all try to be a fac tor in the production of an extra hun dred million pounds of poultry meat which is less than one pound addi tional for each man, Woman and child in the United States.' The United Stirt'es Pepartment of ; Agriculture has just issued an esti mate that upwards -of seven hundred millions of dollars is? the annual trib ute paid by Americans to the garbage can.' Why not convert this 'into feed to produce poultry and eggs. . Fvery home, can? have . &r self-supporting and profitable ,fkck in the back yard by converting the offal from the, table and kitchen . into the very choicest df poultry jfeed. Why such an astounding was$e, an utter ex travagattce that cosii usearly seyen dollars tot :ewery Tiftan, woman anfli child; in the United States? Let every home Jhave a neat poultry bouse and a few' well "kept; 'profitable towls. " It is not unusual ' for the fanciers WHY NOT NOW? 'America jcanjjot fight this war with tie drink traffic hanging to Its arm. "Abything less than the nation's greatest effort for victory will de grade the nation's .place and spirit. There is no place in the "war program tor preventable disease, jxreventajble weakness, preventajble waste, or pre ventable death: ' j Hundreds of thousands, possibly millions, of America's premium men will be concentrated in mobflzation camps. Their health, their spiritual morale, their fighting efficiency will be matters of heart-center concern to every man and woman throughout the nation. "Many thousands of these boys will be from prohibition, territory. And many of these concentration camps will be in license territory.' "Unless the federal government immediately asserts authority over territory eontinguous to military camps and depots we may expect scan dal, shame, loss and disaster. "As in the past, we see soldiers exploited by the breweries and sa loons. There will be education in the vice of drinking. There will be drunkenness. There will be disease more fatal than German shells. There will be occasions of disorders, possibly riot, dishonoring the service. There will be a slackening of the popular spirit; a loss of faith in the national efficiency. "And there will be mounting f o od prices, while grain untold is rotted intopoison. "WIHY NOT DO IT NOW ? As sert at once the government's author ity; enact the regulations that are obviously needed and1 add to them as the need ef extension (becomes ajgparent. 'IBetteT still: ENACT PROHIB ITION FOR THE W1AR. Use the distilleries to make munition alcohol and as a source of power fuel. Use the breweries to pack meat, pack fruit, make vinegar, make ice and serve other useful ends. They can be ad apted to sojeh .purposes at small ex pense. ' 'Take this as a fact already settled: The American people will not be content to tolerate waste and de struction during such a time of sacri fice as there is ahead of us. "The needed legislation should not be in answer to the proipanganda of any organization or group. It should be in anslwer to the dictates cf common sense and the demand of the whole people. "Let us stand; behind the President and stand behind him armed ,with our FULL STRENGTH!" TO THE PATRIOTIC MEN AND WOMEN OF AMERICA: Now is the time for action. Enlist in the Home Defenders' Army. Send letter or telegrams to the President of the United States and your members of Congress urging na tion-wide prohibition, during the war at least ,of the manufacture and sale of intoxicating liquors, which traffic is causing waste of more than two m illion dollars yearly, and is destruc tive to the manhood of our nation. DO IT NOW. to quit hatching with April. Let me urge that hatching be continued dur ing the months of May and June and also during July in a large part of our country. Let the old men do her part keep them goiner tbrono-h May and June the results will bt worth while. Let us be prepared to consume every bit of table and kitchen scraps and make them a sourse of profit. On farms, the production of poultry is krgely a by-product. Poultry con sumes bugs and insects which usually menace the farmers crops and all have a food value. Poultry will con sume seeds, weeds, grass, scattered and wasted grains after harvest and under farm conditions produce the cheapest of all meat products. SENSATION IS SPRUNG. Southern Baptist Convention is Told That Boards Act Without Legal Authority in Handling Money. New Orleans, May 16. A decided sensation was created in the Southern Ba'pitist Convention here late today when J. F. Brownlow, a banker and lay delegate from Columbia, Tenn., declared on the floor that high legal authority which he had consulted had held that the convention,, together with it svarious boards, which handle several million dollars annually, were operating illegally, and that under the laws the convention had no legal jurisdiction over its affiliated boards. Mr. BrownJow's assertions were made during disteussion of a nation to adopt the report of the committee on con solidation of the Home and Foreign Mission Boards and the Sunday Sthool Board of the denomination, a proposition which has been the sub ject of controversy in conventions for several years. The committee on consolidation of the three iboards revised the sugges tions contained in the majority and minority reports previously published in the denominational journal's. The majority prior to the convention had recommended appointment of an ex ecutive committee to direct and co ordinate all the work of the three boards and supervise appeals and campaigns for funds, "with headquar ters in Nashville. The minority fa vored! tabling the whale question. Mr. 3rownlow moved) as a sub stitute for the previous motion to adopt the consolidation committee's report, that the entire subject and the questions raised in the report's dis cussion including the legality of Ihe "incorparted units" of the conven tion be referred for more complete consideration to a committee of seven lawyers, ministers and business men, empowered to employ counsel if nec essary and' report to next year's con vention full recommendations as to what action was needed. The convention took a recess after deciding to give further consideration to the consolidation committee's re port and Mr. Brbwnlow's substitute motion, late tonight, following the convention sermon, which was deliv ered by Rev. Dr. C. W. Duke, of Tampa, Fla. At the initial session today officers of the convention were elected, in cluding Dr. J. B. Gamlbrell, of Dal las, president who "succeeded Dr. Lansing Burrows, of Americus, Ga., who retired after 36 consecutive years of active service as an officer of the convention. '.Dorhna, May IS. Before leaving for Greensboro today to attend tie meeting of the board of directors b! the North (Carolina League W. G. Bratnham, president of the organiza tion, received a telegram from Rocky Mount Club of the late "Virginia league withdrawing its offer of yes terday to taike over the Raleigh fran chise in the 'North Carolina "League if it was surrendered. HOW WASHINGTON GOT MEN TO JOIN ARMIES. Washington Star.) "To all brave, healthy, alble-dbodied, and well-disposedi young men, in this neighborhood, who have any inclina tion to join the troops, now raising, under General Washington for the de fense of the liberties and independ ence of the United States, against the : hostile designs of foreign enemies, take notice, that Tuesday, Wednes day, Thursday!, Friday at Spotswood, in Middlesex county, attendance will be given by Lieutenant Reading with his music and recruiting part of company in Major Shute's battalion of Eleventh infantry, commanded by Lieut-Col. Aaron Ogden for the pur pose of receiving the enrollment of such youth of spirit, as may be will ing to enter into this honorable, ser vice." The above is the manner in which Gen. George Washington appealed to the youth in colonial day to secure recruits for the United States regular army. The Eleventh infantry -efer-red to is still in the regular service and recruits are now needed for that and other regiments. The youth of spirit of the "neighborhood" can re ceive any information that they de sire about the service at the army re cruiting office., (General Washington's recruiting notice, printed from a wood cut, con tinued: "The encouragement at this time, to enlist, is truly liberal and generous namely, a bounty of $12, an annual and fully sufficient supply of good and handsome clothing, a daily allowance of a large and ample ration of pro visions, together with 60 a year in gold and silver money on account of pay, the whole of which the soldier may lay up for himseir and friends, as all articles proper for his subsist ence and comfort are provided by law, without any expense to him. "Those who may favor ithis recruit ing party with their attendance s above, will have an opportunity of hearing and seeing in a more particu lar manner, the great advantages which these brave men will have, who will embrace this opportunity of spending a few happy years in view ing the different parts of this beau tiful continent, in the honorable and truly respectalble character of a sol dier, after which, he may, if he pleases, return home to his friends, with pockets full of money and his head covered with laurels God save the United States." 'The "encouragement" offered in the army now is a great deal greater than in the days of General Wash ington, but the need of men is the same. The recruiting party in Greensboro is using the Washington poster as an advertisement for the army with the slogan, "Do as our forefathers did in 1776 enlist. Appointing Necessary Committees.
