Sioux City Journal, 4: Belief that
the dynamiting of the lodge hall of
the Sons of Herman at Dakota City
Thursday was the work of pro-Germans
who are desirous of embitter
ing the members of the lodge against
the United States was expressed
yesterday by County Attorney
George W. Learner of Dakota City.
It is also possible that the dynamit
ing may have been committed by
some Americans who were opposed
to the members of the lodge holding
its meetings and using the German
language in the sessions, Mr. Learner
said. "Since the war started," Mr.
Learner said, "the majority of the
members of the lodge have been
very loyal. They have been doing
everything they can to assist the
government in the prosecution of
the war. Some of the leaders in the
Liberty loan campaigns have been
members of the lodge. It is believ-

ed by a number of the people in the
city and county that the dynamiting
was done by members of the lodge
or pro-Germans in the county who
are opposed to the attitude which
the majority of members of the
lodge have taken. It is believed
that they hoped by this act to turn
these loyal citizens of the United
States against the government, so
that they could advance their own
cause in this county. "Every effort is
being made to establish the identity
of the dynamiters, Mr. Learner said.
Members of the lodge are not con
sidering rebuilding at this time, the
county attorney said. They proba
bly will obtain quarters in Dakota
City.

EXPERIMENTAL FARMS
NOT I-'OJt PROFIT
The state does not conduct experi
mental farms for profit. The pur
pose is educational. One of the ex
perimental farm superintendents,
in repl'j; to an inquiry as to whether
thelfai ms should be self supporting,
says: "Hogs are raised here not to
make money as a first consideration,
but to show the farmer how lie can
avoid raising hogs at a loss and how
ho can make money out of them."
He sots forth the results of several
experiments in hog-raising. If the
17,000 hogs in Lincoln county a year
ago had been fattened as one lot
was at at the North Platte experi
mental faim, it would have meant
$93,500 more profit for the farmers
of that county. Experiments were
conducted with several lots of hogs.
Some lost money. Others made
small profit. Still others made a
good profit. Thus the primary pur
pose of the experimental farm is to
discover how the farmer can make
the most profit out of his stock and
crops.
COOPERATION IN GARDEN WORK
In order that there may be full
cooperation in garden work in the
state this year, the federal govern
ment has placed the work under the
direction of the agricultural exten
sion service of the University of Ne
braska. The director of tho exten
sion service is made director of the
United States school garden army
of Nebraska. This will do away
with all forms of duplication in
garden work. Thousands of boys
and girls who have already register
ed in school for garden work will
now be enlisted in the great school
garden army of the state. They
will be given the regular U. S.
badge or insignia, which will bear
the letters U. S. S. G., meaning
United States school garden. There
will bo captains and lieutenants with
their proper insignia to. wear.
Towns not already doing garden
work with the extnuion service should
immediately get in touch with the
Agricultural Extension Service,
University Farm, Lincoln, Neb.
'THE FARM GARDEN
A new bulletin of the United
States Department of agriculture
says that a half-acre, if properly
cared for, will produce sufficient
vegetables for the average family's
use during the summer and for stor
ing, canning, and drying for winter
use. This publication, farmora
bulletin 937, sets forth in detail How
and when to pla,nt and harvest all

SPRAYS AND HOW TO MAKE TUEM
"Sprays and How to Make Them"
is the title of one section of the new
extension luillotin, "Home Vegeta
ble ijaruening," now ueing distrib
uted by the Agricultural Extension
Service, University Farm, Lincoln,
Nci. The bulletin tells how to
poison insects which destroy tho or
dinary garden vegetables. Tho in
gredients for the spray may be pur
chased at any drug store and arq
easily mixed and readily appllod.
, Their use may be tho means of sav
ing the garden.
GROW SOY 1IEANH
The Nebraska Experiment Sia
i tion in advocatinir the crrowinir of
soybeans. They are jieh in protein
and merit use in every household.
Compared with other vegetables,
they surpass any of them in protein
content, and they may bo used as a
substitute for lean meat. They con
tain three times ns much protein as
wheat and twenty-eight times as
much as potatoes. Soy beans should
be planted between May 20 and
June 5. They should be put in rows
about I!5 inches apart and cultivated
with the ordinary two-horse cultiva
aor. They should be sowed 2 inches
apart in eastern Nebraska and some
wider in the western pait of the
state. They usually require about
four cultivations and one hoeing.
Soy bean flour is an excellent flour
substitute. A bulletin will bo issued
shortly by the Experiment Station
setting forth the merits of sov bears
in detail, and telling how to grow
iuiu use I' 1.
R i A . YOUR OLD SACKS
All old .. , , or sacks should be re
paired and used, according to word
sent out by the director of the ex
tension service to food workers.
War demands are going to make
bags scarce. Orders for grain bags
should be put in at once thru regu
lar channels. One British order
calls for 1(50,000,000 sacks to be used
for sand bags.

WHITE PLAGUE KILLS
MORE MEN THAN BULLETS
It seems longer, hut It was less than
four years ngo that tho nations had
not yet started In to wlpo each other
off tho innp and that tho only times
when ouo heard of tho Itcd Cross wero
times of flood or disaster and nt
Christmas time, when tho peaceful lit
tlo ltcd Cross tuberculosis seals mado
their annual appearance.
Perhaps, in fact, It was iho long, ar
dent light In America against thoWhito
I'laguo which, in splto of tho war'a
enormous now demands, Is responslblo
for tho especial Interest being taken by,
tho American Ited Cross In Trance's
frightful strugglo against consumption.
This scourgo seems to mark tho
trench lighter for Its own. It kills
moro men than do bullets and poison
gas combined. Until tho American
Itcd Cross was permitted by tho
French government to start Its drlvo
against tuberculosis it looked as If,
even with a victory over tho Hun,
Franco might eventually bo conquered
by this deadlier foe.
Already things aro looking brighter.
Tho Red Cross has taken over old hos
pltals and built now ones. Moro than
SOU tuberculosis dispensaries aro to bo
opened throughout tho country, anil
Itcd Cross doctors and nurses scores
of them aro devoting themselves ex
cluslvoly to this light, doing over thero
exactly tho samo kind of work which
Is financed In America by tho littlo
Christmas seals. It Is ono of tho ways
In which by our contributions to thoi
Kcd Cross America can repay her debt
