What arc the Germans aiming at
in northern and western Belgium1
They are reported at Ghent and in
the neighborhood of Ostend. The
latter place Is only a few miles north
of Calais. France just across the
Channel from Dover. England
It will be recalled that when the
first Zeppelin airship was a demon
strated success, there was much re
joicing in Berlin over what was view
eci as the solving of the problem of
the landing of a German armed force on
English soil, in case of war. Now it
is possible that the Kaiser's army has
a double purpose in reaching Oetend.
While clearing northern and eastern
Belgium of the enemy, the Germans
are preparing to threaten England
with invasion by airships- They may
even plan to establish a naval base
at Ostend as a constant menace to
the English fleet in the Channel.
Airships could sail from Ostend to
London in two hours and, dropping
bombs, keep all Fngland in an uproar
and under nervous strain.
I BIG PAPER PRAISES
UTAH MAN.
Leslie s Weekly pas a high compli
ment to Senator Reed Smoot in its
last issue. The tribute, headed "De
serving,'' is as follows:
"Business men of this country hae
recently awakened to the value of
having lit and capable representative?
Ion the floor of congress. It is a plea
sure to knriw that they are "standing
so earnestly behind Senator Smoot
of I tab now a candidate fo re-election.
His associate. Senator Weeks of
Massachusetts, says truly that Sena
t.or Smoot s constituents, generally
speaking, 'can hardly appreciate his
alue as a legislator He is entirely
familiar with the rules of the senate,
attends the sessions with perhaps
more regularity than any o'ber mem
ber and has an unusual familiarity
with all kinds of legislation '
We know of no stronger defender
of the protective tariff with all its
benefits to the farmers, the working
men, and business men than Senator
Smoot. Few members of the senate
have had a wider and deeper grasp
I of economic questions than he. and
none has been more attentive to his
senatorial duties or exhibited a fair
er disposition to treat all questions
not so much from the standpoint of
partisanship as from that of the com
mon welfare of all the people
"Utah has never- been represented
in the senate by an abler, more con
tentions or more industrious man
than Reed Smoot. His fellow mem
bers all bear testimony to this fact.
Hit record proved it. He knows his
fctale and it will return him to his
seat by a decisive majority."
One of the best assets of Utah Is
Senator Reed Smoot, who has received
more favorable notice than any other
senator ever from the west, and
as a consequence, this state ii in great
part the beneficiary.

CANNERIES FOR OGDEN
VALLEY.
Farmers In Ogden Valley have had
a most successful ear growing peas
This is the first season in which peas
have been raised on a large scale and
thc results point the wa to the build
ing up a great industry in that part
of Weber counts.
There is talk Of two large canning
factories being built If the Ogden
Rapid Transit company extends its
line from Idlewlld to Huntsville. and
if that is done. Ogdm Valley will
witness a growth in prosperity and
population.
Laud owners have made a profit of
from $60 to $113 an acre on the peas
handled by the two viners which
were operated during the season.

profit on the 253 acres in cultivation

was a little over $61 an acre, after
deducting $16 for seed and planiing
by the companies buying the crop
One grower made $113 an acre. Land
on which these profits are being made
is selling at $100 to $150 an acre.
A profit of $50 an acre would repre

in Ogden Yallev is a bargain at pres
ent prices and the wonder is that out
Biders do not invade the Valley and
buy a big acreage before local peopls
realize the opportunity for invest
ment they are neglecting.
The peas grown in that part of We
ber couuty are said to be the best
produced In the United States. If
that is true, there will be several can
neries there before many years and
Huntsville. and the other towns
which have been losing since 1900,
will begin to regain population
It has been discovered that beans
can be tuccessfully raised in the val

These new conditions mean much

WHY THERE HAS NOT
BEEN A NAVAL BATTLE.
A reader of The Standard wants
to know why, In our opinion, the Brit
ish war fleet, which is overwhelm
ingly strong, has not attacked the
German navy.
We cannot answer except to ven
ture a few reasons why the British
fleet would be in great danger, if it
did one of two things necessary to a
successful pursuit of the Kai3er's war
ships In German waters.
The North sea. off the coast of Ger
many near Heligoland where German
ships of war are supposed to be gath
ered, Is strewn with contact mines,
rendering navigation most hazardous.

PUMPKINS AND SQUASHES
GROWN ON TREES.
C. W Hadley has had something
to do with farming all his life, and
he has been a student and at times
has experimented extensnely. Of
late he has been growing pumpkins
and squashes on trees. He sends
the Standard a communication on this
subject which is highly interesting,
as follows
Editor Standard: There are man,
things that I guessed at a long time
ago A few things (hat I am al
most convinced of now, and one or
two things that I am sure of that 1
would like to interest others to con j
tinue to Investigate, as I am liable;
to quit any time. A doctor, the
other day, said ' Von have lived
as long as you had any reason to ex
pect. (I wore a red badge al the
last Old folks' picnic and draw a pen
sion ) Don't complain at a little in
disposition now.' '
What I was going to speak about,
was intensive farming and the Intel
ligence of plants. I have alwavfl
i had a garden and these subjects al
ways have interested me. In my
garden at the corner of Qulncy and
Twenty-sixth street. I am continuing
mj experiments Among other
plants, I have pumpkins, squashes, cu
cumbers and tomatoes growing on
trellises, demonstrating that more
fruit can be raised that way than
would cover the ground occupied by
the plant, several timos morn and
bettor and npcu quicker, than the
old way.
"Upon a trellis ten feet long and
ton feet high, I have over a doze.i
largo siiuashes. some a foot through
and weighing twenty pounds, all h- ng
ing by thc stems All of these vines
are by nature, as well adapted to
climbing, as a grapevine. I have a
squash lne in a tree with fruit twen
ty feet from tho ground.
"As to the intelligence of plants. I
will take only space for oue illus
tration In a hill of cucumbers, I
uuck a bush. of. which two vines took
possession and climbed to the top.
I stretched a string from the top of
the bush to a peach tree about ten
feet away. These vines are now
about eight feet along that string,
hanging by their tendrils. One vine
runs under the string, and of Ub own
volition reaches up Its tendrils and
grasps the string as it grows. The
other vine runs under the first and
hangs from that vine. As tho tendril
grasps the string, It coils up and
draws the vine close to its support
"There are two seed cucumbers
hanging b their stems from these
vines as large as you ever see
"I am certain that a squash vine
knows moie about the squash busi
ness than any farmer or gardener I
ever met, as I never saw one that
knew what the tendrils of a vine were
for. The vine climbs over brush,
fences or trees when possible. You
may call it instinct, and I will agree
with you. If you will call instinct,
reason.
"I simply wish to excite a curiosity I
and interest along this line. My gar
den gate swings both wava. (8igned)
C. v. Hadley."
There is enough suggested In tins
letter of Mr. Hadley to keep more
than one mind deeply engaged for
some time to come As to his grow
ing squashes, pumpkins, cucumber
and tomatoes, it might be well for one
of our agricultural experiment sta
Hons to pursue his methods to a sci
entific conclusion, as great good may
come from the experiments.
