RUSSIA'S REVERSE. j
RUSSIA'S REVERSE. Two war items concerning Russia stand out in to-day's news. The first; records the linking up or Biitish and Russian cavalry in Mesopotamia, a gratifying sequence to opera- tiona that are among the most, heartening of the war. The second is not welcome. The Russian do feat on the Stokhod, first anno1.1llced ion Wednesday, now appears as a rather serious reverse. The Ger- I mans, as is their wont, claim far j more than they really obtained, but! there can be littio doubt that our Allies have suffered seve (I I Whether the offensive in this quar- ter is the key to the riddle of the West, whether it locates for us where Hindenburg hopes to strike this year, it is too early to say. But the reverse with which she has met mav be, ultimately, of benefit to Russia. It may supply the new Government with a rallying cry which will bring the disaffected into unity with the great majority of the people. On the Western front, there has been a good denl of actlvity. The British are entrenched on the | slopes above St. Quentin, which is now regarded a.s a mere German outpost. It has been the refuge, according to one of the correspon dents, of successive bauds of fugi- tives, driven ignominiously from one village stronghold after another, and our men, new sitting at its very i threshold, have seen .their beaten adversaries boJt into the shelter of the scarred and mutilated buildÍlgs that. were once part of the glories of mediaeval France.

There has been severe I j near Rlu-'ims, and some giving of; 1^ way at hrst by the Jjrench. J.he^ nave however regained most of the ground, and although last night'* communique contained no definite particulars of the re-occupation of j all the trenches, the statement that to the north-west of Rheims we continued to, advance" suggests that. if the enemy is seeking for the weakest point of the line he halo drawn a blank here The United States has performed the first act of war. Merchant ship belonging to Germany have been seized, doubtless a preliminary to the seizure of the magnificent tieet which is interned on the water- way near New xYork. All indica tious go to show'that our new Ally will not wage war upon any system of limited liability. In the phrase of Mr. Lloyd George she stands now side by side with the European Ii democracies. Side by side is not the place of a nation whose aims are smaller than those of its allies. According to the last Census (1910), the total white population of tho United States was 81,731,957. t Of this total, 68,453,380 were native born, and 13,275,577 of foreign birth. That is to say, 14.7 per cent, of the total population was born abroad. In New York:, State, out of a total population of 9,113,614, the foreign-bom POPUla-1 tion numbered 2,748,011, o?' about 30 per cent, of the total. To this foreign-born population in New York State Germany and Austria contri- buted 681,915, and the Allies (Great Britain, Italy, France, and Russia), 1,733,407. In addition to those of foreign birth now resident in the States, there are also numerous persons of foreign extraction, whose fami- lies may have been settled for two or three generations, or even for two or three centuries, in America. The latter generally, however, con- sider. themselves Americans first, and German, British, French, Ital- j ian, or whatever their original nationality might be, a long way aiterwnrds. It is roughly calcu- lated that there are about 15| mil- lion people in the States of German and Austrian birth or extraction. nut it must not be forgotten that a large number of them belong to families which originally left Ger- many and Austria to escape con- scription and to enjoy the greater freedom of social and political life in ¡ the States. Very few of them would le&ve in German emigrant ships, C>'I' sail from German ports, but would embark at Antwerp, Rotterdam, Trieste, and other ports out of Ger- many, in order to escape the sur- veillance of the authorities. It is from this fact that so many mis- ) statement.s and miscalculations have proceeded concerning the number of German emigrants, as -the figures usually quoted only represented the numbers leaving German ports in licensed German emigrant'ships. It would be a mistake to imagine that these people are sympathisers with Germany in this war—they dislike German militarism and Prussian arrogance as much as the British Americans do, and in the present quarrel they will back up the Prest- dent and the American Government almost to a man. Indeedc the number of German- Americans who will back up the Kaiser and Von Tirpitz is said to be much smaller than most people sup- pose. The spies and hirelings will. of course, do their worst, and cer- tain financiers and others whose in- terests are bound with those of the Teutonic Powers will do their nt, most to support them, but the over- j whelming volume of public opinion will make them very careful of com- mitting any overt act of hostility to the American Government, and it is questionable whether they will be able to do much more damage than they have hitherto succeeded in I n. flicting on the munition works, or railways, or ships leaving the United States. The increased April price for potatoes has not brought upon the market, as has been anticipated, stocks of any size. And yet those who have dealings with the agricul- turisfes assert that there is a goodly i store yet available. Is the report true as we have been assured it i2, that in West Wales, and partiou- larly in Gower, the pigs are being fed with potatoes ?.

ALLOTMENT NOTES WEEKEND PROSPECTS. Cabbage and Green Crops, By CULTIVATOR. The weather since my last no tea a pi pea rod has cast quite a gloom over thet curbta enthusiasm of the army of plot" hoiuevs who have been looking forward to tho" day when rliey wuuld help t make history ou their plots. Fortunatelyl at the time of writing, the sky is clears and tiere appears to be promise of a fino morning. The light, well-drained soils o-q Town Mayiiill, Pare Wern. soon lye4 come fit to work after a. shower and snouhl he workable, hnt in no case should I attempt to sow seeds or plant if it is 0 so wet as to cloy; the teeth of the rake or stick to tho feet. Also the soil is still cold after the enow, and it will be far better to wait patiently another week until tha soii has been warmed and dried by the sun, when the drills will be more,easily! drawn and the conditions more favourable to growth. As I stated last week, it is no use going by the calendar; we must be guided by the weather conditions, and as they are at present against us we must wait their improvement. I hope before these notes appear that King Sol wilt make his influence felt on our behalf, for- we must not forget April and May be.. tween them make bread for all the year, 1. CABBAGE OR GREEN CROPS. > This is one of the most important families of vegetables cultivated in gar« dens, and it is probably true to say that the are.1. of land devoted to their culture is a good second to that of the lordly potato. The cultural requirements of tha whole group are practically the game. Ihpv are all gross feeders and succeed' best on a deeply-dug, well-manured, re- tentive loam or to put it more plainly, on a stiff soU inclined to be clayey. although1 there are really very few soils on whiclv good crops cannot be obtained, the two chief factors beiii- a firm rooting, mediurat., and aillploiure, and we generally get plenty of Wie latter in this district. Cabbages, are one of the easiest and popular crops grown either in gardens op allotments, and keen is the competition every year as to whose cabbages are going to be fit to rut the earliest. I am afraid King Frost has taken a heavy toll during the pa.st st •. ere weather, receiving much, help from the biting easterly wind which prevailed at the same time. Nuraerjmen who had' thousands in their feed beds have scarcely enough left for their own needs, ami this explains their abaenco liom the markets The most important sowing of cab* bages is that intended for the spring crop, and much of the success depends upon choosing the right date for sowing. My own opinion is that the last week in July is quito early enough for the first sow ing, and the second week in August for a .succession. The fileed bed should consist of a light, rich roil, which ehonld be forked over and made firm by treading with the feet. It should then be racked over evenly to remove large stones, and the drills should then be drawn about nine inches apart and one inch deep. Tha see d should 1)(\ sown very thinly, so that there is no waste of seed, and covered over carefully, labelling the rows wita. the name of the variety and date of eoii,- ing for future guidance. The aim ahouldfc be to fcecure strong plants before winter. As soon as the plants are large enough, they should be planted out in their per- manent quarters, which is generally 011 ground from which potatoes have been taken i.ii) or on t l taken up or on the cite where oti-iona have been grown. In tho latter case thil ground should ov-r-r bt); eimplyj run tho Dutch hoe over it to loosen thei surface, then draw drills about an incl* and a half in depth and 18 inches apart Plant firmly in these drills a foot apart and water them in to settle the soil about; their roots. Alter planting, very little attention will be required except to draw a little soil towards the plants which will help to protect the stems during winter. Many people do not plant out until spring, but I think this is a mistake as a strong sturdy plant in the rows is hetter able to with- stand severe weather than the leggy specimens crowded in the seed bed. As soon as growth (commences in spring the hoe niur-r be u.*eU frequently between the rows. To help the piants. to form hearts a small dressing of nitrate of eoda should loc applied to each plant, about a tea- spooi'.i'ul being nmple. eprinkling it round the plans during showery weather. Xitrate of sod .should not be applied until the cabbages have begun to (heart. As nitrate is dilhcult to obtain, many people are using ulnhah of ammonia, and as this subetacca takes about a fortnight to." get going," it •should be appiied earlier than nitrate at the t-ame rate. There are many varieties of cabbage, or at names, but three or four varieties stand out as superior to (he rest, Ella;u's Early. Flower of pring.. Sutton's April, and Imperial are a good selection. Colemorts or a r-o email varieties of cabbage which are gener- ally sown about the middle of June for use in autumn until the Savoy is ready. Their culture is much the same as that given in detail above for spring cabbage, and the most popular variety is fho Rosette Cole wort. For sumcr usb R sowing should be made at once of-Improved VVinningetadt. which is ono of the iKftt t-taiulard varieties of cab- bage grown for summer, autumn ani winter use. Tho Savoy cabbage may he described as the crinkly-leaved winter cabbage. It is extremely hardy, and amply repay6 good cultivation, being in season when other vegetables are scarce. Seed would be sown during this week, and good plants should be produced ready for planting1 out in June and July between the rowa of early potatoes after they have been earthed up. The best varieties are Drum- head for main crop, and Early Ulm for using first. This latter is a small growing variety, and may be planted IS inches apart in the rows, while Drumhead should be allowed two feet. The Caulitlowor is a well-known and popular vegetable, and is a variety of tho cabbage in which the flowers are pushed up early aud arrested in development. It requires a rich, deeply dux soil, similar to that recommended for cabbages. In order'to keep up a regular supply from early June until the Broccoli ara ready, three sowings should be made, (1) I ill September in frames and protected 1 during winter for the production of the earliest heads; {2) in February under-, glwn for KuectfseiOB, and April for Tate supplies. As very few allotment holders possess facilities for raising the first two batches, recourse must be made to pur- chased plants which should be planted out within the next week or so. lor the i April sowing .select Autumn Giant and Waleheren. They should be f,(Ywn in beds as described for cabbages. The ground silotild be rich and well prepared; plant out as son as ready ia rows two to two and a half feet apart and two feet in the row?. during showery weather, water them in. and see that tliey a.re supplied with plauty, of moisture until they get going as a check during early growth will cause them to button." that is to form prematurely la very small heart. The frequent use of the hoc between the rows will help to pre- vent this. while an occasional soak1 rig with a solution of sulphate of ammonia at the rate of au ounce to a 64 lion will b4 a further
