ADVANCED FARMING METHODS

Those who do not read carefully
 are not advised as to the enormous
 changes which are taking place in
 farming methods. In some sections
 power blows and power implements
 are taking the place of old methods
 and the horse is bein discarded.
 Enormous blows capable of breaking q strip more than 20 feet wide travel
 rapidly and break deeply as they go,
 the land is narrowed, rolled and
 made into fine seedbed and planted
 as the power blow proceeds. Crops
 are cultivated with an implement
 which furnishes power, and as it does
 not tire, and as the farmer may ride
 in the shade, cultivation bids fair to
 be far easier task, and more work
 may be done with the same effort.
 New plants are hunted and brought
 from the farthest lands. Plants are
 adapted to new habitants and it is
 hoped that some tropical fruits will
 become adapted to northern climates.
 Never have farmers so thoroughly be-
 leved in good stock and in good
 seeds. Stock selection and seed se- lection are making great changes and proving their importance.
 A cotton has been developed which will produce a 500-pound bale from
 HOO pounds of seed cotton. Several varities will now more than third
 themselves" The importance of us-
 ing plants adapted to climate and rainfall is being learned and many sections are prospering where for merly starvation threatened. Many fields of milo, Kafir, feterita and oth-
 CT of the non-saccharine sorghums take the places of corn fields, and farmers produce grains where for merly they tried to produce corn and failed.
 Dry farming has proven a success and millions prosper by using the NoiiPoSi SySlefii, anu Soil iluiCil Is of more than proven value. The sys- tenn ism uch used in semi-arid sec tions and its success, when properly |practiced, is unQuestionable. Impro- perly practiced it has failed.
 The cultivation of the peanut is reyolutionizing agriculture in many sections and the market increases more rapidly than the supply. Thou sands are waking to the importance of dairying, and improved and fine mich stock are in evidence every where. The booming" of the dairy industry hurt it to some extent, since |people were led to hope for results toog great, but with reasonable expec- tations dairying is proving valuable |adJutant to farming, since it offers a market for products of the farm and for the labor of the farmer and his family.
 But best and more important than all is the improvement in schools and the moral progress among the people. mat there is moral progress is evi- uenced In a hundred ways, and the homes show growing refinement and lhteliigence. Of course conditions will De better as people own their homes ana are able to live more independ-

The hundredth day of fighting sees the battle of the canals drawing to the close of the fourth week, and from today's dispatches it is difficult to imagine longer that the Germans have suffered complete defeat in their movement against Dunkirk and Ca lais, inaugurated immediately after the fall of Ostend on October 13.
 Berlin Announces Success.
 The Berlin officials, after detailing the occupation of Dixmude, continue:
 Further south on this line our troops crossed the canal west of Lang marcke. The Young German regi- ments threw themselves against the first line of the enemys position, sing ing in the attack, 'Deutcheland Uber Alles.' About 2,000 infantry were taken prisoners and six machine guns were captured"
 This reference to the Young Ger man regiment is supposed to mean the endorsements to the seasoned troops. who have been bearing the brunt of the fighting during the last few weeks.
 South of Ypres," the Berlin report continues, "we have driven the enemy out of Eloi. Severe fighting took place in the neighborhood of LeBas- see. extending over several days. We captured about 1000 prisoners and six machine guns. Despite serious counter attacks by the troops domi- hating the heights to the north. Ar mentierres remains in our hands," London Looks for Hope. One ray of hope that London holds tonight is that the allies lines have fallen back at the different places mentioned in the official reports as part of their established strategy.
 It is pointed out that nowhere if mention made of piercing of the al lies line and. that consequently, Il must be assumed that the front op posed to the German advance on Ca lais and Dunkirk remains as effective to check tie usual advance as it ever has been.
 The determination of the Germani to reach these two towns on tht French coast, however, appears to b. as firm as ever. TOday's advices tel of a resumption with great ferocity o the battle around Newport and thu l TlVeT Ay6s ul6 ID thC III AoC SAAAA' NieupOrt has been mentioned.
 Hold Back Bad News.
 Official dispatches from Paris ana Berlin agree that the Germans hav' won successes in the last few day. of fighting. That the seriousness o the situation is realized in the Frencl capital is indicated by the releas' after "A hours of the news of the fal of Dixmude. It is assumed that thu French war office. when apprised o this disaster to the allies army yes terday. held it back in the hope tha today's developments would be mor' favorable. In this, they were disap pointed.
 We made good progress yester day on the branch of the Ypres ca nal" says the Berlin official statemen received here by wireless. We tool Dixmude by storm. We captures more than 800 prisoners and five ma chine guns.
 I throughout the day the enemy ha continued the effort begun yesterday but without obtaining any further re lsult," says the French official state

 Be Good.

Aguas Calientes, Nov. 11-War against First Chief" Carranza was officially declared by the convention of generals here at 6:15 o'clock to- night.

 Actual hostilities are reported to have already begun at Leon, 1O) miles south of here on the Mexican Central railroad. No details of the battle are obtainable tonight, except the statement that Leon is held by the Villa army.
 The action of the convention in is- suing formal declaration of war was not surprise, and means that there has been a definite line up of the contending factions. At the least session, during which great excite. ment prevailed, General Carranza was branded as a rebel. This denunciation is given force from the fact that it came from Gen. eral Natera, the vice president of the convention, who was formerly one Of Villas bitterest foes, and until recently staunch supporter of Car ranZa. l Washington, Nov. l.-Assurance came to the state department today from General Carranza through tho Brazilian minister in Mexico City that he will comply with the demand! of the United States upon which ths withdrawal of American troops from Vera Cruz is contingent.
