.A eoimimn rule is to cut during

new sprouts aru well starled; clover
when in full bhioni; vetch when first

Lute cuttings mean loss of protein,
o talatahility and of the finer and
morn valuable purls of the plant.
Do not mow when thu crop is wet
with rain or dew. This moisture dries
off faster when the plant is standing.
Cat itt the momiti!; as soon as the
dew is off or in the late u fternoon,

-Curing is accomplished largck
through the moisture in stem and
htnlk being thrown off through the
haves. If the haves are allowed to
itiicdy dry and idirhel in the sun,
earing is retarded, quality injured and
haves Hiid fine steins los. Caring in
the windrow or eock provides partial
shade of the leaves and allows them
to eomplcle their work. The leave,

THE AIRCRAFT SITUATION.
nnJIOSK wli know the sfiilpliir d'utmi liorluni, oi'
A .Idlui Jidj'liun or John (Jiifzon, as lit? lias styled
himself at various periods in his eareer, will lake with a
grain of salt his accusations against the aircraft produc
tion loard men who have patriotically devoted their
time and energy in creating a vast new industry and solv
ing almost uiisolvalile problems. The army officers lit; so
glibly accuses and the big businesn men associated with
them are all men of unstained and unsullied reputations
and Mr. Uorglum has produced no proof to substantiate
his accusations, save that his artistic ego was offended by
the lack of consideration shown him.
Mv. liorgliim began his artistic eareer as a protege of
the late Lcland Stafford of California, who sent him
abroad to study. Upon the hitter's death, 0. M. Linnea
gcr, a wealthy Omaha man became his patron, and later
" Lucky." .Baldwin. Borglum was then a painter. He quar
reled with his parents, his wife, his benefactors and dis
owned his brother, Solon liorgliim, also a sculptor, and
changed his name because the latter showed talent. Many
incidents in his career, notably 1 lit smashing of the stat ue
of the Angel (iabriel, because of criticism, illustrate his
ungovernable temper and lack of poise.
Tim aircraft board is to be blamed for misleading the
public with glowing prospectus, deceiving Secretary La
ker and Hits administration by not promptly acknowledg
ing failures, delays and disappointments, and reporting
that the program was ahead of schedule instead of be
hind. To this extent, the board was dishonest.
The board failed to realize the many difficulties to be
encountered, entailing costly delays. Great Lritain and
France have both had similar troubles in aircraft produc
tion. As near as can be gathered, the great mistake of the
board was in not separating the experimental and produc
tion departments, but changing plans and specifications
constantly, thus interfering with production. The airplane
engineers were tinkering instead of producing. A total lack
of co-ordination of various agencies and instruments also
handicapped the program.
These various shortcomings have already been reme
died. .John I). Uyan, a noted organizer, has been placed
at the head of the department and ha eo-ordinated the
various bureaus, welding the loose parts together into one
compact business organization. The production and ex
perimental departments have been segregated. The inves
tigation of the aircraft board to find tnit whether there
was graft or criminality- has been ordered by the presi
dent, who has appointed .ludge Charles H. Hughe.-;, who
won fame by probing Hie life insurance scandals, as chief
invest ig.it or. t
None of the knocks that have assailed the department
have come from trained aircraft, engineers, who know what
iney are lauung aiiour. Jiorgiuni is an artist. .1 no aero
clubs that have constant ly assailed the board are composed
ol rich amateurs. Another society is headed by some pat
cut attorneys and a typewriter nianufact urer.
Meanwhile, American aviators in American machines
are apearing in constantly increasing numbers on the bat
tle line. The assertion that but one complete airship has
been shipped to France sounds sinister-like, until it is re
membered that it was merely sent as a model, that the
various parts are shipped "knockdown," to save cargo
space and that auS assembling plant and factory employing
!),(!()() American mechanics is in full operation in France.
Quant ity product ion is under way, and there is nothing
to be discouraged about. Such delays as have been en
countered in our war preparations have taught us to re
move the obstacles and make up for lost time by intensify
ing speed. A big new job was neer done without some
mistakes and some delays. The important thing is thai
every possible effort is now being exerted to offset Ihein.
American forces, hundreds of thousands strong, are at
the Vprcs front, in I Meanly and in Lorraine, reinforcing
the allies. Daily new troops are pouring across, as well as
adequate supplies and munitions. The League for Na
tional duty litis published the following summary of war
efforts abroad:
''The diilcd Slates in the past year has made its own
purl on the French coast ; built its own railroads (SIM) miles
of track and more): laid out at its new harbor, which can
deal with forty vessels at once, a freight yard bigger than
any one yard about any great American city; provided a
railroad eiiiipnicnt such as Knrope never saw lie fore: sc.
up its own telegraph and telephone!! system ( r"00 opera
tors for this last ); constructed hospitals, warehouses and
magazines; established workshops and factories where arc
works are already full, and made till ready for its new
armies, so that if o.iK ().()()( ) fighting men arc needed, room,
ciiipiiient and provision tire there for till of them, without
crowding or deranging what our allies have in four years
pro ided for theuieslves.
''We have now more shipyards Ihau (ircat Lritain,
t he grcat"st of shipbuilding uat ions. Our navy is building
more submarine destroyers than there were in any two of
the world's naics when the war broke out. Our regular
navy has more men in it than the British navy had in July,
1!)1 I, when it was the world's largest naval force. Next
year we shall fully make up the loss caused by submarines.
" Let no man or woman underrate the work already done
to make the world safe for democrary, or doubt that we
and our allies shall have the full ability and resources to
fight our way to victory. If mistakes have been made,
we have learned from thein. Kvcit after forty years of cal
culated war preparations the German bureaucracy lias
made serious mi-takes during tin's war.
Misrepresentations of the nation's efforts is termed
"moral treason," and the relatives of the soldiers are urged
to stamp it out wherever it appears, thus guaranteeing the
boys in the trenches against the enemies at home while the
boys themselves are attending to the eneinv at the fivnt,
