CORN AND ALFALFA BASIS OF LIVE STOCK GROWING By P. G. HOLDEN. CORN and alfalfa form the basis of successful live stock and poultry growing. No other combination of feeds is so economical in the production of beef, pork, butter and eggs. Alone, neither will give the best results; together, they form the best of balanced rations for growing animals and fowls. Corn, oats, rye, etc., furnish carbohydrates, but animals need protein also. Corn is rich In starch and sugar-fat producing substances. Hut it is especially deficient In protein, which makes bone, muscle and frame work for the growing body. Alfalfa saves the large waste of starch which always results when corn Is fed alone. Its feed value per acre Is double that of clover or any other for-

When we grow alfalfa, we grow protein on our own farms more economically than we can buy It In feed stuffs Alfalfa feeds the soil and enables us to grow larger crops of corn, oats or other grains. An acre of alfalfa Is worth more on the market than an acre of any othr crop. It Is worth still more when fed to live stock. Alfalfa Is a sure crop, because It Is not dependent on the rain. It is a ruhsoiler; its long roots draw moisture and sustenance from soil much deepe? than that which we generally farm. It gathers phosphorous, poiash and other plantfoods from a depth not reached by other crops. It gathers nitrogen from the air. These various forms of plantfood are returned to the soil when the alfalfa Is plowed under. This gives humus to the soil builds up soil fertility

"BY THE

Let us cherish in our hearts those undying words of Abraham Lincoln, the first American to reach the lonely heights of immortal fame. Take his message, carry it and proclaim it broadcast throughout the Nation; help our people to realize the patriotic duty resting upon them, each and all, as free-born citizens of this great democracy. Let them highly resolve that "government of the people, by the people, and for the people shall not perish from the earth." We face the most stupendous task in the history of the nation. Never before has such danger confronted us. Everything we have ever fought for from Bunker Hill to Santiago is at stake, and it is conceivable that the final VICTORY WILL BE WON BECAUSE OF OUR CONTRIBUTIONS OF FOOD.

CODE LETTERS ARE FOUND ON

SUSPECTED SPY Officers Believe that German Steward Had System of Sending Movements of Transports. NEW YORK, Feb. 12. A code letter giving symbols and orders for the German spy system in the United States in transmitting to Germany information about the sailings of American transports was exhibited by officers of the Naval Intelligence Service In the examination of Reint Soberings, a German subject, before United States' Commissioner J.ohn A. Matthews in Newark yesterday. Sobering.? was second steward on the Dutch yaer, Nieuw Amsterdam, that had German permission for unrestricted passage through the barred zone presumably because the German spy system had succeeded in listing passengers and sailors who were to transmit orders to the spy system here, and he had the code letter in his possession when he was arrested on the ship shortly after she docked on Wednesday. Officers of the Naval Intelligence Service refused to discuss the letter in detail, but extracts were given out by Federal officials, who said that the context showed clearly that an effort was being made to transmit orders and parts of a new code to the German spy system here. The letter was written in two types of handwriting and perhaps by two persons, the officers said. One was written In English in a "foolish code," and requests for facts upon avenues of transmitting to Germany information upon the sailing of American troops on transports. It was said that the other type of handwriting was interspersed in small scraps and symbols throughout the letter, between the lines, and running into other words and sentences, and the officers thought ttuft this was a code to be used in sending information to Germany. One of the deciphered scraps was: "Sent Southern cables. Where do we go from here? Answer." Officers of the Intelligence Service refused to say whether they thought this meant that the German spy system was using South American cables leading to the Cape Verde Islands and to Africa and Europe; within the cruising radius of the type of submarine sailed by the German commander, Kophamel, when he made his trip to the vicinity of the Cape Verde Islands and won his Iron Cross on the report that he had sunk an American destroyer, presumed to have been the Jacob Jones. They made no comment upon the suggestion that the Germans might be able to get information over the cables despite the watch set by the Allies. Another scrap of the letter read: "Send three cables. Where to now." Nor would the officers say whether this meant that the German espionage system on the other side was out of communication with agents in this country and were seeking to establish information upon our war activities, new channels for the transmission of No other scraps of the letter were given out, but the officers remarked that the two sentences gave a good idea of the intention of the writers. Soberings gave various accounts of his orders for the delivery of the letter in America, but he told the Commissioner yesterday that the sealed envelope, with no writing whatever on the outside, had been given to him by a married sister in Rotterdam with the request that it be delivered to a man who would seek him out when the ship reached her pier here. The salutation of the letter contained the name of a Middleton Cobb, of Boston. Soberings said his sister told him the note was a love missive from her friend, a Frau Rapmund, who was divorced from a German known as Herr von de Boer, and was intended for her fiance in the United States. The German steward said he had no knowledge of the contents of the letter and thought that it was a love note. He asserted that he beoame frightened when he saw the posted notices on the Nieuw Amsterdam that the United States government would not allow passengers or crew to bring mail ashore and he tried to hide the letter. The ship was coming un the bav here when he tried to dispose of the letter by pushing it behind a loose moulding in the smoking room on the ship. A

AH the workers are optimistic and enthusiastic which is always half the battle." Each company is allotted two hundred cards. The aviation corps with. Colonel Richard Sedgwick in charge has been "scouting" and has received some subscriptions. chief yeoman in the Naval Intelligence Service saw him try to do this and' seized the letter and arrested Soberings He told of other attempts to hide the letter on the way across. ' Soberings said that, although he was born in German, he had not been in the Fatherland for eighteen years. He said his home was in Amsterdam. He said he had relatives in the German military service and retained his allleglence to the German government. Commissioner Matthews held him on the charges of an attempt to smuggle mail into the United States and conspiracy to violate the Espionage Act Ball was fixed at $25,000. The letter was retained by the Naval Intelligence Service, with a small black handbag, containing a small strip of rubber, presumably a sample, and a small piece of white cloth similar to the material used in the making of the wings of airplanes.
