Eight German Farmers Fined for Over Sow in Potsdam Case
Berlin August 19 Eight farmers stood trial before the Potsdam criminal court for sowing grain too thickly. Fourteen faced charges of sowing more than 116 pounds of oats per morgen though the limit was 3 4 4 pounds. They argued swampy moorland required more seed and seed eaten by pheasants from a nearby prince's hunting preserves reduced the actual sowing. Each defendant received a minimum fine of three marks.

Salt Not Contraband Discussed In Dutch Conflict
AMSTERDAM August 19 Salt by old custom is a contraband of war yet in the present conflict it is against allied interests to treat it as such. Holland imports salt for its fisheries and must buy from Germany and Austria when enforcing the law on imports. The policy argues that German salt industry gains from English detention of salt laden steamers bound for Holland. More potash from German salt supports explosive manufacture.
