EXCELLENT HINTS
FOR FALL. GARDEN
Select Seed for Sweet Corn From
Growing Plant-sow Spin
ach During September.

Select your seed sweet corn from
the growing plant, noting not only
the size and evenness of the ears and
grains, but the number produced on the
stalks. Turn the husks back, using
them to braid the ears together. You
then have convenient package for
hanging up to dry.
Keep the hoe going in the cabbages
and caulifowers and celery. These
do we'll when the nights are cool.
Winter onions for punching next
spring may be planted now.
Sow spinach in September for the
early spring market.
Select only, the best seeds Of every
thing and tie up III bags and label.
Cut all the old wood Of the black
cap raspberries j. and blackberries.
Should have done this little earlier
but not too late. l..
Potatoes should be handled as
gently as apples, as bruises cause de-
cay.
Highland recorder. (Monterey, Highland County, Va.) 1877-1972, 1914-11-06
Planting Fruit Trees.

The soil should preferably be in good
filth before planting, and the holes for
the trees should be dug sufficiently
wide and deep to receive all of the
roots of the tree. The harder the soil
the wider and deeper the holes should
be.
Fill in with loose, mellow earth
packing the soil we'll around the roots
Avoid using sod or any coarse mate
rial, or the leaving of air pockets, as
either will cause a drying out around
the roots, which Is detrimental to the
tree. Use care and you will be re-
paid with good stand of trees.

Gains by the allies at several points
notably near Ypres, Belgium, and tt
tn south of Arras, France, are claimed
in the official statement from Pari:
In the great struggle between the ar
mics of the kaiser and his allied foes
near the North sea coast. With tn,
arrival of reinforcements for bot
sides the fighting has been renewe:
with added eigor.
A statement from Bordeaux est
mates that the Germans have lost be
tween 10000 and $4,000 men in thu
nghtine near the User canal.
Admission is made by the Berlir
war Office that the German force;
which advanced on Warsaw have hat
to retreat. They have reformed, how
ever, it is added, along the line of thu
Marta, in west Poland, and are re
ing the Russian advance.

Harvesting Ensllage Crop.

For crops like clover, millet or
grass the early poisoning period
seems to give the best grade of sill
age. In the case of corn 1t is well to
allow 1t to stand until the kernels are
fairly we'll glazed, but not to allow
the grain to become hard. If the corn
is allowed to ripen, there is danger
that the fodder will not pack suftl-
ciently close to exclude the air, while
the hard grain may not be readily d.
gested by the animal.

fighting thus far in the European wal
is reported to be in progress in tae
northwest part Of Belgium and the
extreme northeast of France, between
the German army, which is trying tc
force it's way westward along the
coast, and the forces of the allied
British, French and Belgians.
Conflicting reports come from the
fighting in Russia. According to an of
fetal statement from Berlin, the Ger
mans are bombarding the city of War

SUNDAY.

Germany's great army of invasion
assailed the allies with undimlnlshed
yigor at Dixmunde, Belgium, and near
Bethune, France, and repulsed an al
tack by a large French force near
Lille.
French troops operating against the
forces of the German crown prince, in
the river Meuse region, destroyed
three new German batteries of heavy
artillery.
Along the river Disc the French
and British defeated the Germans
who delivered a furious onslaught
against the positions held by the al
lies. The kaiser's soldiers were com
PEELED to retreat and to abandon their
first line of trenches.
Germany's new army OF invasion
has been driven forty miles vast OF
Warsaw, according to an official an
nouncement by the Russian genera
staff. The cars troops have resum
ed a vigorous offensive movement al
along the battle line. Desperate at
tacks by the Austrians to force the
passage of the San river have been re
pulsed by the Russians.

MONDAY.


Encouraged by their success in drlV'
Ing a passage across the User canal
between Dixmunde and Newport, on
the Belgian coast, the kaiser's forces
are attacking with great vigor in an
effort to push forward to Dunkirk' IN
France. Paris dispatches assert, how
ever, that the allies have withstood
not only these attacks, but also as
saults farther south in the vicinity OF
Lille and Arras, in France.
Battleships and aeroplanes continue
to take part in the land battle, the
English and French war vessels bonn
harding the coast.
In the eastern battlefield, Petrograd
reports that the Austro-German army
which advanced on Warsaw has been
driven back fifty miles, and Is now
retreating toward defenses erected
along the river Warta, in western Pc
land, pursued by the Russian army
A little farther south, an Austro-Ger
man army of 100000 is deadlocked in
a terrific battle with 100000 Russians
north of Radon.
