Berlin reports via London: The American seamen who were brought prisoners to Germany on boabd the British steamer Yarrowdale have been liberated. News of the liberation of the sev r enty-two American seamen brought to Germany by the prize ship Yar rowdale came Thursday night after President Wilson and other adminis- tratfon officials had retired. Their release disposes of one of the most pressing and irritating phases of the German-American situation. With President Wilson’s approval, a note peremptorily demanding of Germany that the Americans be re leased had been prepared at the state department and was expected to go forward. There virtually is no hope in Washington, however, that the hour of more serious trouble with Germany can be postponed much longer. Many responsible officials of the administration have come to the con clusion unless there'is a prompt and decided change in the general atti tude of Germany toward the inter ests of the United States, the appear ance of President Wilson before Con gress to ask authority for protection of American lives and property Is only a matter of days. Any doubt existing as to t5ie ruth less character of the new submarine campaign and its violation of neu tral rights long since has disappeartnl and the situation Is being made more and more grave daily by aggravating Incidents. Kven if the president delays goirtg to Congress longer than ft is believed in most quarters he will, the present session comes to an end in less than three weeks and it Is regarded as cer tain that he will deliver another ad dress on German-American relations before Congress adjourns. From an economic standpoint se rious results from the new subma rine campaign were becoming more apparent. Representatives of a large group of railroads met and decided on plans for placing an embargo on eastbound freight destined for expor tatlon unless shipping facilities were assured President Wilson himself still was moving slowly in order that no serf ous step be taken in advance of an unmistakable demonstration of Ger many's disregard of the inte r ests and rights of the United StaAes. Kealls Ing that some reports of German ac tivities may have been exaggerated, he Is relying on official Information. Efforts of persons and organisa tions working to maintain peace are going forward with unabated vigor Their attitude Is causing little con< cern among officials who say the president has no Intention of mak ing any move except on the basis of facta which will satisfy all reason able patriotic Americans. Beneath the surface there Is a strong undercurrent of discussion of various possible means of averting war, Including suggestions that a conference of neutrals be called. There are no Indications, howover. that the president contemplates any such move. The president paid another visit to the state, war and navy department during the day, but It was explained that this did not foreshadow any im mediate Important developments. Secrretay Lansing called at the White House for a brief conference, and afterwards he and the president walked together through a snow storm to the navy department. A cabinet meeting will be held and at that time the entire situation will be canvassed. In addition to the of ficial reports reaching the state de partment, members of the cabinet re ceiving word on the economic effects of the tying up of shipping in Amer ican ports probably will present whatever news they have. Goncern over the absence of any word from Ambassador Elkus at Constantinople since the break with Germany was somewhat relieved wliien two brief dispatches were re ceived. The first dated February 7 inquired why he was having difficul ty in communicating with his govern ment. The second was said to be a routine report and its date was not made public. An investigation is un der way to determine whether the ambassador’s messages are held up at Vienna. Nothing has been heard of the de parture of a train loaded with some eighty-six American consuls and their families, together with an un determined number of other Ameri cans, which was due to leave Munich for Switzerland early this week.. While officials in Washington do not yet feel anv alarm several inquiries have been s- nt to Former Ambassa dor Gerard and Minister Stovall at Berne, asking for immediate reports on any facts received! The work o' clearing other Ameri cans out of fVrmany is going on. The advisabiU y of the withdrawal by the IntemaUo al Young Men’s Chris tian association of its twenty or more American representatives who have been working among the , prison camps In Germany was discussed at a conference between atate depart ment officials and Dr. John R. Mott, International secretary. While K "freed that the Ml he wttMrrwii oTt aa to CORN GROWING Importance of * Planting Method* Where Hither Heat or Moisture Is . * . *. 3 liable to Be Itafleient. The methods employed In planting corn are especially Important In re gions where either moisture or heat is Insufficient. The following sug gestions, taken from Farmera,' Bul letin 773, are made by C. P. Hartley and L. L. Zook, of the Office of Corn Investigations, Bureau of Planet In dustry, United States Department of Agriculture. Listing,-or planting in furrows, Is the most common, and beat method of planting corn InVa large part of the semi-arld area. It la not only economical, aa it permits large acre ages to be handled at the least cost, but It also places the plants to the best advantage to withstand drought. AS the furrows are closed by cultiva- tiOn, the plant roots are placed well below the surface. A deep soli mulch, can be maintained without injury to the roots. The plants are more se curely braced to withstand winds than when surface planted. in some seml-arid sections early summer conditions are favorable for rapid growth. The plants make a tender, rapid growth and become larger than the later moisture supply will support. Listing retards this rapid early growth and is often a de cided advantage on this account. Where the seasons are very short, surface planting Is better than list ing, as the retarding of early growth leaves the plants insufficient time to reach maturity. Where surface plant ing is practiced on fairly level land it is usually advisable to plant in checks to permit cross cultivation. Crons cultivation makes weed and grass control easier. It also assists cultivation, drying ‘ and warming a larger part of the soli surface. A thin stand of plants la ap essen tial feature of successful corn grow ing in regions of limited moisture supply. When planting Is done with a lister In rows three to three and one-half feet apart, the plants should be one in*a place and from eighteen to thirty-six Inches apart« depending upon the rainfall and the fertility and the water-holding, capacity of the soil, fh surface planted corn with the hills three and a half feet apart each way, the stand shpuld not he thicker than two plants per hill. Kven with the best of seed more ker nels should be planted than the num ber of plants deslreQ. Some young plants, mostly the weaker ones, will porjah. The usual distance between corn rows Is shout three and a half feet, w htrh Is a convenient distance ,for cultivating. With the rows at this distance the roots meet between the rows end occupy all of the upper soil before the corn comes into tas sel In certain droughty sections, where the seasons are comparatively long. Increasing the width of row to seven feet ahd doubling the stand In the row has been found to be an ad vantage. On account of being close together within the rows the young plants compete for the nearby mois ture and are prey ted from Making too rapid and too tender a growth The roots do not meet between the rows until the plants have about reached their full growth, and the moisture In the soli Between the wide rows benefits the plants at the time they are forming ears. Where the. summers are long other crops, or an other crop of corn, can be planted later In the season between the seven foot rows If the aeeaoaal rainfall proves sufficient. The success of the crop depends upon having the corn reach the ear forming period when moisture and heat are available at the same time The chances are Increased by making a very early and a late planting of an early-maturing variety. Using, seed of an early-maturing variety In one planter box and seed of a late-ma turing variety In the other box In creases the chances of having some plants reach the ear-forming period when moisture and heat are avail able at the same time. Corn should not be covered with more than one and a half or two inches of soil except when the sur face Is dry and It is necessary to plant deeper to reach moist soil. In cold, heavy soils one inch is suffi cient.

FARMERS BETTER OFF South’s (Yops Worth Half Billion More Than Last Vear. “Farmers of the South are better off by half a billion dollars than they were this time last year.” said Presi dent Fairfax Harrison of the South ern Railway System, referring to the figures of aggregate crop values pub lished by the United States depart ment of agriculture.' “These figures show,” said Mr. Harrison, “that in the states of Vir ginia. North Carolina, South Caro- *.na, Florida, Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama and Mississippi, the total value of all crops grown In 1916 was $1,882,060,000, as compared with $ 1,377,852,000 in 1915, an increase of $504,708,000, or 36.64 per cent. These figures are arrived at by tak ing the reported values of 13 prin cipal crops as to which the agricul- ural department collects annual sta tistics and adding values for all other crops based on the percentages of the 13 crops to all crops as shown by the census of 1910, “While the increased total value ihowiHi. In Jmrge part, due to high er prices for farm products, it la truly remarkable when talteii In pon- nectlon with the unfavorable weath er conditions which prevailed in a large part of th* territory. In some localltlaa, as a result" of adverse weather conditions and the damage done by the Mexican cotton boll wee vil. crop yields were substantially re duced, but, taking, the Soeth as a * * ha termers were never move htt st this time.” The steady accumulation of viola tions of American rights by Germany made it appear possible Wednesday that President Wilson w'ould go be fore Congress .to ask authority for further protecting lives and property without waiting for^ a serious disas ter, which might shock the coyntry. .There were no indications, how ever, that he believed the time for such a step had come, and it again was stated authoritatively and with full appreciation of all the conse quences Involved. Official reports of the sinking of the American schooner Lyman M. Law, in the Mediterranean by an Austrian submarine ' added only slightly to the tension,’ for while the act is believed to have been illegal, no lives were lost and the vessel ap parently was warned. The incident was not looked upon as one in itself sufficient to hurry the development of the situation. ’ The preliminary ^ reports began coming to government departments showing the piling up along the At lantic seaboard of goods destined for export to European ports. No seri ous effect from this condition will be felt, however, until lapse of suffi cient time for ships remaining In American ports have gone to Europe- and returned. While only approximately ten per ceut. of American commerce with Europe Is carried on American ships, the sailings of vessels of other na tionalities Ih many Instances have either been cancelled or postponed, and. therefore, the results .of the ruthless submarine campaign "In time will result In far reaching dis turbance of the Industrial Ufe of the United States. , Preparations by the government for any eventuality are still going forward. Much importance Is attach ed to the work of the Council of Na tional Defense, which Is holding dally sessions to learn at first hand from Americans of experience whst provlhlonskjuuet be made to co-ordi nate American resources. K. 8. Stet- (Inius, of J. P. Morgan and Co., of New York, was again before the council, furnishing Information gain ed from experience as head of hla firm’s huge transactions In war orders for the Entente Alllee. It was stated during the day that It was entirely possible the govern ment would take no steps towards actually furnishing arms to Ameri can ships until the president decides he should go before Congress. While the state department takes the position that the government has the right to furnish the guns, other questions which make the question more compIMf have arisen The greatest of these Is the determina tion of the president to do nothing which might give Germany the ex cuse fh any trouble which may fol low to place the responsibility upon the United States. Consul Treadway, at Rome, for warded dispatches showing that the schooner Law was sunk by “an Aus trian submarine without a flag.” ap parently by placing a bomb aboard after the vessel had been stopped. The 'reports Indicate that the vei was illegally sunk, as her cargo of lumber is not considered contraband by this government and that the recognized rule of the sea that a war craft must show, its flag before tak ing hostile action was violated. Most serious of the aspects of the is the statement that.the sub marine was Austrians In replying to the queries that will be sent . to Vienna as to the facts of the sinking. It is thought more than probable that Austria may make some state ment which will precipitate the ex pected break with that country. Of ficials have admitted that Austria has sent a submarine note identical with Germany’s but so far this coun try has held off from extending the severance of relations with that country,-^ * The question of the armament of American merchantmen seemed to be temporarily disposed of by the offU ciaF statement x that there were no guns in' the country to be had by ship owners, unless.the g9vernment provided them,* and the strong inti mation that the president expects to go before Congress again before com mitting the government to a policy of furnishing guns,- President Wilson is said to feel that he promised Congress he would, consult that body again before he took the next step towards protecting American lives and property on the ligh seas and that official participa tion in the armament of merchant men ufould constitute such a next step. Navy department .officials let it be cnown that there are absolutely no gun mountings and very little am munition in the country not directly under government ownership, and that thefie are no guns of the type wanted nearing completion In Ameri can factories either for this country or foreign "governments, which could be released for American ship owners. , ‘ The redetention by Germany of the 72 American sailors brought in as prisoners on the prise ship Yarrow- 4*le will result in a peremptory de mand for thqir release within a few days. Reports in answer to queries by the state department already are ta from the outlying pomaa of the United Steles as to the of Derm an crews there.! on that “may aa by tee War Vessel Destroyed by Merchantman’s Gunfire. An Auatriah submarine was sunk by gunfire from the British steamer Oxonian In the Mediterranean Sea December 2$ when the undersea boat attacked the steamer, according to members of the crew of the Oxonian, which returned from Alexandria, Egypt. Some of the U-boat's .crew were rescued by a French patrol boat, but several are believed to have gone down with the submarine. „ Capt. Robb, master of the Oxon ian, could not be found, but mem bers of jthe crew^ said they were startled while coming along near Prete to see the wake of a torpedo spread itself on the water just off the steamer’s stern. A minute later a black hulk popped -from the water about two thousand yards away, the submarine having come up to see what damage she had inflicted, -pritish naval gun- *ners on the Oxonian trained the steamer’s gun on the submarine and a small- shot whizzed through the air. ’ The first shot missed the ma^k, but the second struck the submarine squarely in the center and she crum pled like a paper box. s; 0. S. calls were sent out lay'the Oxonian and a French patrol boat arrived soon and picked up the sub marine’s crew. The Oxonian contin ued on her way. The Oxonian mounted a 4.7-inch gun aft on her deck. She left here December 5 with a cargo of horses for Alexandria, Egypt. , A. Brown, Coleman,~G*.

The largest naval appropriation bill in the country’s history was pass ed Tuesday by the House and sent to the Senate, where a sub-committee immediately was appointed lo hasten its consideration.* It carries more than three hundred and sixty-eight million dollars, provides for the sec ond instalment of the great three^ year building program adopted last year, ^nd includes administration emergency amendments’* authorising the government to commandeer pri- vale shipyards and munitions plants In times of natlondl peril and to pur chase the basic patents of aircraft. The vote on the bill was u3 to 23. eighteen Democrats, headed by Majority leader Kitchtn, four Re publicans and one Socialist voting against It. During the debate, which was In progress intermittently for about a week, various provisions proposed as a result of the submarine crisis sere added. Because of the govern- meat’s difficulty In placing contracts for war*hlp» authorized l*st year, i amendment asked for by Secretary Daniels providing an additional twelve million doHars for equipping navy yards for construction was in serted. MEXICANS CROSS BORDER Bandit* Attack “Tomer Ranch" mm! (’aptare Men ami Good*. Private advices received late Tues day night from Columbus, N. M . said three Mormons were killed by a band of Mexicans which croaaed the Inter national boundary sixty miles west of Hachlta, N. M.. and raided the “Corner Ranch.** Andrew Peferson. another Mormon, was held a prison •r. It was said. H. S. Stephenson, general manag er of the Palomaa Land and Cattle company, said he had received a re port from hit foreman at Hachlta that three Americans and sev< Mexicans were captured and one hundred and nine American horses and mules and fifteen hundred dol lars worth of supplies taken away. His report made no reference to any loss of life. “The Corner Ranch’* is located In American territory. Ten dead horses were found on the ranch after the Mexicans had raided it and large supplies, including ranch stock $nd other property, werft seized, accord ing to messages received at El Paso. Several ranch employees were made prisoners. demand for the freedom of ^ the Americans. Exclusive of the seventy-two Yar rowdale. prisoners. it. is thought the number of native Americans in Ger many has fallen since the break from about 500 to less than 250, with per haps another fifty in Austria. The exact number of native Americans in Bulgaria and Turkey, who probably can not be reached in any circum stances, is unknown. Another inquiry was sent to Tur key asking Ambassador Elkus why he had not been able to report to the department as to the condition of the 1,000 Americans, . naturalized and others, marooned in Syria and' as *to whether Turkey plans to carry out Germany’s submarine policy with the. submarines she is known to have. Steps were also taken to learn where all reports from both Turkeys and Bulgaria’ since the break with Germany have been held up. It is assumed that it is at Vienna, through which all communications to those countries pass. ♦ CLASSIFIED COLUMN AND | FARMERS EXCHANGE 4 For Sale—Johnson grass seed. Write J. E. Jones.
