B. johnson is an enterprising far
mer who lives three miles northwest
of Palatka. Mr.. johnson is raising
corn, cane, potatoes and other staples,
but it is of his corn we wish to make
special mention. .
A couple of stalks from field Of
seven acres can be seen at the board
of trade rooms. They stand fifteen
feet high. Mr.. Carr, Virginia stock
farmer, who saw them the other day,
said: "That's the stuff for the silo."
Mr.. johnson said he thought his yield
would run from sixty to eighty bush
els to the acre, and in some spots
would average at the rate of one
hundred bushels. From one hill of
three stalks, the product of one grain
of corn, he counted eleven ears. Last
season the land was in sugar cane
and no fertilizer was used this year.

power to obtain this object and distinct
consciousness of superiority over the
enemy" The application Of this def
milton to the present attitude and prob
able course of action OF Germany is
left with the reader.
The offensive offers opportunity for
surprise and rapidity Of movement 1t
ncites boLdness and|imits the field for
errors. The aggressor has a definite
purpose and his opponent Is led to con-
form his movements to those dictated
by the aggressive movements OF the
other. The aggressor is generally sue.
cessful when he wins material ad'
vantage at one point, for the positions
of the defender usually constitute
strategic structure which is greatly I'M
paired by the loss of one Of its parts.
The aggressor may select the point
of attack and concentrate against 1t,
while the defender must be prepared
at all points. The disadvantages OF
the strategical offensive are that 1t In.
wolves rapid and fatiguing marches on
the troops, involving losses which fire.
quently exceed those Of battle. The
country through which the advance Is
made Is usually hostile, and detach-
ments must be made to protect the
line of communication. Advancing
armies are thus frequently caused to
melt away before reaching the objec.
tive.
The force at the head of the army
which is the part In contact with the
enemy is often but a fraction of the
, entire army. due to the necessity to
occupy and hold strategic points gained
! during the advance and to protect the
| line of communications.
How Great Armies Dwindled.
Napoleon in 1912 invaded Russia
with 442. 900, but reached Moscow with
but $4,000 Marshal Massena crossed
the Pyrenees with 100000 Frenchmen,
but arrived before Lisbon with but 40.

and France the Germans crossed the
frontier in 1870 with $4,000 men, but
reached Paris with but 171,0OO after q
