Only a few more days in which to
spray for San Jose scale. Afier the
bloom begins to open the lime suiphur
will damage the fruit and foliage.
If not already planted, as soon as
the ground is dry enough, plant English
pecs, onions, radish, spinach, transplant
cabbage plants, and work out those set
last fall and put on top dressing of
nitrate of soda or cotton seed meal to
hasten growth.
Use the stalk cutter to crush cotton
and corn stalks. Do uot burn them,
for by so doing you will be burning up
and wasting valuable fertilizer and humus
which the crop needs so badly. Do
not burn anything that can be turned
under to rot on the land.
Beware of the agent who offers you
something for nothing. I understand
there are agents in certain parts of the
State selling a recipe for making two
pounds of butter from one pound of
butler and one pound of milk. It is a
fake. Let it alone.
Beware of the socalled hog cholera
cures. They are fakes. If your hogs
have cholera, call the demonstration
agent at once. He will instruct you what
to do.
The Commercial bank of Newberry,
S. C., has placed an order with the division
of animal husbandry of Clemson
college for elecen registered, uuroc
sows. The sows will be let out, one to
a boy in each township, on very liberal
terms, the boys to be selected by a committee
appointed for that purpose. The
eleven boys will be members of the Pig
club of Newberry county. They will be
instructed how to care for their pigs,
I
how to raise hogs economically and
other points of the work by the county
demonstration agent and the special
agents in animal husbandry.
This is a very worthy enterprise and
will mean more hogs and better hogs
for Newberry county.
To encourage the boys further, the
Commercial Bank will give prizes to the
boys who make the best showing with
their pigs (according to rules of club).
This is a fine opportunity, boys, and the
bank is to be highly commended for
its liberality in this direction.
The meeting of the farmers' night
school at Jolly Street last Friday night
was very well attended and the discussions
on home conveniences were very
intersting indeed. They will meet again
Friday night, March 3 at 7:30.
The program for that meeting will
be home conveniences and s^ed selection.

The Home Demonstration club of

February 25. The course of study for
that afternoon was the serving of meals.

STARTING 10X A TO PDA,NTS. |
To get an early ciop it is necessary to !
stprt thv? plains t'uring the winter. The [
1 est method !> to j-cw the seed in a hot
be'' i:i p'W> 'wo tr three inches apart.
When tne plant? i\\o developed their
first true leaves transplant them to
stand about two inches apart each way.
This transplanting should be done in
shallow boxes filled with good rich soil,
i or direct to another part of the bed.
; For the general crop, grown for can
| ning purposes, this transplanting is all
that is necessary until ready to plant to
the field. For extra early tomatoes it
is advisable to again transplant the
1 plants when they reach a height of four
| or five inches. This time plant in three

MAKING A HOT BED.
Select a well drained location, where !
the bed will be sheltered, preferably on
the south side of a building. Make an
excavation 18 inches deep the size your
bed is to be. Throw in fresh horse manure
and pack by tramping. The manure
heap should be about evn with the surface
of the ground or 18 inches deep.
The manure furnishes the heat to start
j the plants. Put on top of the manure
four or five inches of a good garden
loam, and cover the bed with glass hot
bed sash. If sash cannot be secured,
canvas may be substituted. The temperature
will run high for a few days,
but no seeds should be planted until the
temperature falls, which will require
three or four days. The frame to support

GERMANY EXPLAINS
FORMER ASSURANCES
PLEDGES GIVEN IN ARABIC
AND LUSITANIA CASES
ARE STILL BINDING
Washington. Feb. 27.?Germany has
instructed Count von Bernstorff to inform
the United States government that j
the assurances regarding the future con- |
duct of submarine warfare, given in the j
Lusitania and Arabic cases, till are J
{ binding, but that they apply only to j

! to contend that armed merchantmen
j
; have, without regard to the nature of

to be peaceful, and therefore are sub- j
ject to destruction without warning.
The instructions direct the German'
ambassador particularly to tell Secre- '
tary Lansing that British merchantmen i
armed ostensibly only for defense carry j

ing German submarines. 1T0 support tins i
claim the Berlin foreign office lias sent'
the ambassador for presentation to the
state department a list of at least 20,
instances where it is claimed British
'
merchant ships have attacked subma!
rines.
Confidential advices from Berlin state
! that German and Austrian submarine
!
i commanders have received their new
orders and that from midnight Tuesday
they are authorized to sink without
warning all armed merchant ships of
Germany s enemies. It was said also
that many of the submarines probably j
had left their bases on cruises, and that
even should the United States request
the postponing of the opening of the
campaign it would be impossible to get j
word to many of the submersibles.'
While Count von Bernstorff declined to |
discuss the instructions from Berlin,
it is believed the ambassodor will present
them orally to Secretary Lansing
tomorrow. Ahey will not, it was said, !
take the form of a note unless Secretary
Lansing desires it. The German ambas- |
sador will lay much stress upon assurances
regarding the arming of merchant
ships which were given to the United
State by Great Britain a memoran\
dum signed by Sir Cecil tSpnng-Rice,
the British ambassodor on August 25,
1915- In this the British ambassador
wrote the following:
"I habe been instructed ?t the sme
time by his majesty's principal secretary
of state for foreign affairs to give
the United .States goverment the fullest
assurances that British merchantmen
will never be used for purposes of
attack that they are merely peaceful
traders armed only for defense, and
that they will never fire unless first,
fired upon and that they will never
under any circumstances attack any ves-.
sel."
Germany claims that Great Britain
has deliberately violated these assur.CorrAfifm\r

informed.
Ambassador von Bernstorff's action
also has been directed to the American
the authorities which define for their j
the authorities which define for the;
benefit defensive armament. In this doc- j
ument it was stated that "the presence j
of armament and ammunition on mer- j
chant vessel creates the presumption that'
the armament is for offensive purposes, j
but the owners or agents may overcome j
this presumption bp evidence showing
that the vessel carries armament solely
for defensive purposes."
MI ST FURNISH PROOF.
The Berlin government is sid to rea- j
lize that should it sink an armed ship,
upon it will rest the burden of proof j
j regarding guns, but to contend that upon
the government owning the ship would ;
fall the burden of proof regarding the '
i non-offensive character of the arma- 1
i l
j ment.
I Ambassador Eernstorff is under-j
j stod to have been given no instructions j
'to renuest from the United States a:
: definition of what it considered defen-j
; sive armament. He is understood howevJ
er to have prepared to discuss question
j with Secretary Lansing should it be
Virrmcrlit iir>
S*tJ.
In this conncction confidential arbices
from Berlin indicate that the German
government might be willing to
treat as peaceful merchantmen ships
with paramment so light and so placed'
that it could not. possibly be used offensively.
For instance, it was intimated
that Germany might, should the United
States insist upon it. agree to grant im!
munity to vessels armed with a single iI
pounder, placed on the stern, and so'
arr?nged that it could swing not more j
than 35 to 40 degrees.
The ambassador is also understood to j
have been instructed to call to Secre-!
I
tnry Lansing's attention the fact that j
i^rcneh ships are not armed and tliaf

probably will not be made known at
! once. Much depends upon the contents
of the appendices to the German memo.
randum which are claimed to contain
copies of alleged confidential instruc
tions to masters of British merchantmen.
THE LU SI TAXI A CASE.
TlH- principal assurance given in the
Lusitania case read as follows:
"Liners will not be sunk without
warning by our submarines and without
safety of the lives of non-combatants,
provided that the liners do not try to
escape or offer resistance."
The contention of the Berlin govern- |
ment is represented as being that all de- j
fensively armed British merchantmen '
are prepared and instructed not only to j
resist, but to attack. Consequently, it |
is argued the new policy toward armed j
ships squares with international law the I
German view being that if the British j
merchant ships have been instructed to j
violate and do violate the law as in- I
terpreted by the United 'States, Ger- j
many is justified in taking measures in j
retaliation.
It is understood that the Austro

advices somewhat similar to those sent,
to Count von Bcrnstoff. It could not be
learned tonight whether Baron Erich ,
Zwiedinek. charge of the embassy, would j
call upon Secretary Lansing and inform j
him of the position of his government, :
which differs slightly from that of Ger- |
many, because of the fact that virtually !
all Italian ships are armed, although i
i o ,
those leaving American ports do so un- j
der pledge that they will not use their .
guns when warned by a submarine, i
Germany, not being at war with Italy, j
has no particular interest in Italian
ships.
:The state department holds that an |
unarmed ship and a ship armed for de- j
tensive purposes are in identically the
same c-.-iss and must be treated accordingly.
Officials of the department have
indicated a willingness to discuss with
v\.i<Li <11 iyiiujicdii powers ine question
of what may properly be considered
deefnsive armament, and there have
been intimations that the government i
was considering revising its instructions'
to port authorities in this regard.
