Show I ' ' ' GERMAN AMERICAN LOYALTY H l My emotions tell me one thing at H this awful time, but my reason tells H v me another. As a Oerman by birth It M ' ' is a horrible calamity that I may Hj 5 t hare to fight Germans. That Is nat- i , "'.,. ura!, Is It not! But as an Ameri- -(ij' ' can by preference, I can see no oth- fi er course open. i-: ' . For twenty-fivo years Germany i Hl Sft has shown dislike for the United H i ' " States the Samoan affair, the Hong I H ' - kong contretemps, ho Manila Bay pS f J- Incident, the unguarded words of H s l the Kaiser himself, and, lastly, the H ' Haitian controversy In 1914. And i Bfl .1... 44 has not been from mere commor- m m , clal or diplomatic friction. It Is be pfl M cause their Ideals of government are Rlr absolutely opposite. One or tho II 'i other must go down.

Many times during ,the winter they have emphasised the need of more sugar and ihat Itjcan only come from beet growing centers where factories are established, 3 , ' With the Increased price of sugar beets and a sharing of profits, should .the price of sugar advance, the farmer far-mer can afford to plant sugar boeta . this year. From 'a patriotic point of view It Is our moral duty to answer an-swer tho pleading of our national government with an Increased supply sup-ply of sugar. Tho government has control of the factories and will limit their profits. Tlie government has promised to help the farmers with the labor situation. sit-uation. Our state officials are organising organ-ising sixteen to eighteen thousand girls and boys to help with the labor la-bor problem. If properly supervised supervis-ed the labor situation In this state has been solved. Within the next few days the farmer must decide Just what' he is going to plant this year. Unless there are a great many more acres signed up our total production will fall short of last year. Utah has answered every appeal of tho Government with more than sho has been asked' for. Will we do it with an Increased sugar beet "yield this year? Utah Farmer. R R R SOME MORE AMERICAN EFFICIENCY Acting on ordera from the German Ger-man Government, the officers and 'crews of the German ships Interned k r . Jin American waters Inflicted such damage upon the machinery of the vessels aa they deemed absolutely certain to keep the ships out of service ser-vice tor two years. By that time tho Germans thought tho war would be over. j But American efficiency and Am- jerican Invention effected the aeees-sary aeees-sary repairs in from six to eight .months aad at a cost ot 1273,000; the Germans had figured tho cost of repairs 'at 13,(00,000 and the necessary time 24 months. All of these ships, except one that has. beea sunk, are aow bearing American Am-erican commerce on the seas or transporting trans-porting American 'soldiers to Europe. (The Navy Department figures .that tho use ot these ships between the time th sUpswere skaally repaired aad the' time tho Geraaaaa estimated I r .they eouMx be repaired will, be worth $140,000,000 to the Government Govern-ment at the present rata ot tonnage. The Vaterlaad, one otf these Interned In-terned ships, and tha largest ship 'afloat, la.now iiuthe .United States -servlee renamed tho Leviathan., Am-erlcans Am-erlcans are able to operate this ship ,at'a higher' rate ot speed thaa. the Germans were able to do' and do this ,wlth 200 tons of coal less a day. The .Leviathan has one American captain ' " - a 4Rplace ot five German captains of. Tab Vaterland, and one American chief engineer Instead ot a chief engineer en-gineer and five assistants that German Ger-man efficiency required. R R R HOW THEY DONT GROW The old nursery rhyme, remem-.bered remem-.bered by every boy, is still true In tits assertion that You norI, nor nobody knows How oats, peas, beans, or barley grows. " The farmer today, however, and his boy know how oats and barley, at least, do not grow. They know (that a good crop cannot be expected from smutty seed, aad that smutty seed Is common all over the country. Anyone who has tried It knows that If Is no more trouble to treat aeed 'for smut than to test corn for germination'. ger-mination'. A" pint' of vforraaldehyVie , to 'about forty " gallons-ipref erab'ly SS95S9BaSS9SaBeSaSBSSEBSPBS99BBBBiBB9SSBl forty-five for oats ot water makes f a first class dipping solution, and It Is a sure thing for oaf smut .and for the covered smut of barley. Nothing Is a euro" thing for the loose sriiut" of barley, but tbe treatment helps oven In this case. '$ Of course, the shrewd, caretuf person tests his seedbofbre treating it. All seeds cost money plenty!ot It th,ls year, and no thrifty person wastes his money. . Beside with European farming badly shattered by the war, tho United States will probably have to produce more than a quarter of the world's crop of oats, and pretty nearly near-ly this proportion ot tho world's crop of barley, It she Is to do her duty by the world.
