,1. THE REVIEW: REIDSV1LLB:. N. 0. r r ill AN OPPORTUNITY FOR THE NORTH CAROLINA FARMERS Raleigh. North Carolina farmers (ace the greatest opportunity for arv leer and profit that the farmer of any country have ever had. With the fate of the war in Europe largely de pendent upon food supplies and with half the world starring the opportu nlty for aorvice , to country and hu manity Is . unprecedented. With world shortage of food and feedstuffs of all kinds prices will continue to remain at their present high lerels not only until the end of the war but for one to three years after the war In the face of a shortage of labor North Carolina farmers must produce a larger total of corn, wheat, cotton, oy beans, peas, potatoes, sorghum for syrup, hay crops and llrestock. A larger acreage in these crops cannot be worked than was worked last year but the same acreage can be made to jrcduce larger yle'd. Bette soil preparation and better crop cultiva tion will Increase yields and profit h to a large eitent but Increased fertil isation must be depended upon for the greatest part of the Increase that Is so urgently desirable. Fertilizer Bill $35,000,000. There are 385,000 head of work stock upon the farms of North Carolina. There was used upon the land culti vated by these animals last year more than 850,000 tons of commercial fer tilizers and more than 68,000 tons of cottonseed meal. It is extremely doubtful if a larger supply of commer cial fertilizers will be available this year. If the same quantity is used this will represent a commercial fertilizer bill of approximately 1:15,000, COO. The stable manure from 385,000 head of work stogk and approximately 700,000 head of cattle, if properly sav ea ana utilized, would be worth at least $50,000,000. Here Is an oppor tunity for increased fertilization be causa- many of our farmers haYe paid little attention heretofore to the mak ing, saving and utilization of stable manure. The Greatest Opportunity. xne greatest opportunity, however, lies in the utilization of forest leaves and wood mold. The past winter has been ideal for the purpose of rating weaves and there are very few farm ers in the State who have not an op poriunuy to largely increase their production this year through the use of this form of fertilizer. Agricul tnral experts are agreed that a ton of dry forest leaves and wood mold con tains at present fertilizer values. $8 worth of fertilizer ingredients. This means that if five tons of leaves and wood mold are used on every equiva lent one-horso farm In North Caro lina the aggregate value of such fer tilization would be more than $15,000, M, or very nearly half the value of the State's commercial fertilizer bill of the year. The Children Can Help. The raking and hauling of forest leaves and wood mold is not a difficult undertaking.. The raking into piles may be done by the smaller children or by the grown-ups during spare time and can be hauled between now and planting time. Wood mold spread upon wheat daring the next three or four weeks will largely increase the yield, according to the quantity used. Wood mold and leaves spread upon land that Is to b planted In cotton, corn and other crops will very greatly Increase yields and will render more etfectlve the fertilizers used. Hauling of leaves and wood mold should be continued during spare time even aft er the planting Beason of cotton and corn, being worked into the grounl during the cultivation of the crop. On wheat and other grain the results will not only be m In the Increased production of grain; but in the Increas ed production of hay or other crop which follows. A $25,003,000 Increase. Agricultural experts have estimate,! that the production of food and feed crops in North Carolina could be in creased $25 000,000 this year by the utilisation by farmers of this oppor tunity for Increasing the fertility of their soli. It has been repeatedly 4emlnstrate that the application of j&anure aad other vegetable matter Is THE HISTORY OF A VESSEL WHICH FLEW NO FLAGS A dramatic Incident of the sea, In which a young wireless operator fooled the enemy, was related la the prize court in London recently, when the crown was asked to condemn the steamship Edna on the ground of un neutral service and enemy ownership. The attorney general. Sir Frederick E. Smith, described the kaleidoscopic history of a vessel which flew two flags. The plucky operator was "one Smith, an Englishman," who since has received a commission in the It. N. A. S. Frederick Jebson, a German, said Sir Frederick, was a prominent man in San Francisco shipping circles. He chartered the vessel and was believed to have perished afterward in a Ger man submarine. The vessel was built at Hergen in 1902 and in those days sailed the seas as the Jason. Jebson used the vessel for his Mexican busi ness. He had been in the German nuvy and was In the naval reserve. Ji-bson purchased the vessel, the ownership of which was vested In the Lloyd Mexican Soclete Anonyme, In which he held the bulk of the shares. Finally he managed to get back to Ger many disguised as a Scundlnavlun sea man. Vessel Was Disguised.

In an affidavit read by the attorney fvnerul, Guy Duncuu Smith, the wire less -'Tiitor, . suld that he was on bourd U,e vessel' when the war broke out. He awoke one night at midnight and hoard tha steamship Aztec an nounce that war had been declared be tween Russia and Germany. At this time the vessel had "Ham burg" painted on the stern. After the announcement' that war hud'' begun "Hamburg" was removed from the vessel, "La Paz" was painted in and the Mexican flag was run up. Before leaving San Francisco he had heard that the coal taken on board was Intended for the Leipzig. Infor mation was sent to the British consul, and the authorities nt San Francisco demanded that the coal should not be delivered to the cruiser.

This Is the summary of Teutonic conditions by Dr. William Law, a na tive of Flint, Mich., who Is back visit ing his parents after practicing den tistry ror J6 years in Berlin, where he served the kaiser's family profession ally. ' Doctor Law's family was able to leuve with Ambassador Gerard's party, but the doctor himself was too ill to travel and remained in Berlin until October 23, 1917. Doctor Law, after many delays in Europe, arrived here recently. j "There are today 100,000 to 125,000 empty stores and residences in Berlin, where normally in peace times the number would not exceed 10,000 to 18,000," said Doctor Law. "The big Change has been wrought because many businesses have gone bankrupt, as people are moving in together to conserve necessities of life. Stores that are open have little or, nothing left in them. "The people cry for peace, and the lenders of the military party say : 'We've offered peace to the entente and they refuse it,' So the people go on. They are the most patient lot I ever saw. "The soldier gets plenty of food taken from that en route from some supply house, perhaps to a hospital. The man ut the hospital, who checks on the food, gets part of the graft. "I think the people of Germany can exist for another year. However, there is no tea or no coffee and the beer is about like water and tastes like var nish. When a person hasn't shoes now he goes barefoot, or else gets wooden soles put ou the old ones. "Every bit of oil Is gone, even to castor oil, which has been used for lubricating purposes. Every sort of factory Is engaged in making things for war, therefore there Is a shortage in everyday necessaries. "The military pnrty of Cerniany will die lighting, whether they are killed by the allies or by their own people In an uprising after Germany has been crushed. The winning of the war for the allies now depends on how big a fleet of airplanes America can send to France." - ' w.s. PAPE'S DIAPEPSIN FOR INDIGESTION OR SOUR, ACiD STOMACH Five M'nutes!
