E2zAR ZONE.

Of shot and shell will do much DAMAGE
to standing trees. much more than the
damage done similar forests in the
Franco-Prussian war.
Equally serious will be the havoc
wrought by forest fires. These will be
set not only by accident, but also pur.
posely in order to harass the enemy.
This was the case in the Forest OF
Compiegne, which is said to have been
fired by the British in order to drive
out the Germans. While the fires may
have been effective from this point CT
view, it also doubtless destroyed very
largely the natural beauty of the IA
nous forest and seriously disarranged
the carefully laid plans for it's man
agement.
Near Compiegne, the scene Of Joan
of Arcs capture in 1880. lies the state
forest of Compiegne where there has
been severe fighting. This forest,
which is situated at the junction of
the Aisne and Disc rivers, only SO
miles northwest of Paris, comprises
36,072 acres and is the fourth largest
state forest in France. AS in most OF
the other forests in this part of the
country, the principal trees are oak,
beech and hornbeam, with few other
broadleaf trees and small representa-
ton of conifers.
Previous to the war the forest OF
Compiegne, with it's wealth OF old oaks,
and its network of roads, was regarded
as one of the finest in France, rivalingl
even the famous forest of Fontaine-i
bleau. One section of the forest,
known as the Beaux Monts and COM
prising some 1,753 acres, has in fact
been set aside for special treatment to
preserve it's natural beauty.
Where Fighting Has Been Fierce.
In the extreme north of France, only
65 miles from the North sea and al
most touching the Belgian frontier, lie
the state forest of Armand and the
private forest of Raismes, In which
desperate fighting has been reported.

ACCESSIBILITY OF
WINTER FLOWING
Freezing and ThaWing of Sod
Land Puts 1t in Good Condi-
ti0n-KiIls Insects.
(By A. ]. LEGG.)

There is diversity of opinion as
to the advisability of blowing in the
winter time. 1t is generally conceded.
however, that sod lands should be
plowed> in the winter season. The
freezing and thawing of the soil puts
it in much better condition than it can
be put by pillow and harrow after
spring has opened.
Winter blowing also destroys many
insects that would damage crops if
they were allowed to live.
There will be much more moisture
laid up in the soil and saved for the
use of the growing crop the next
year if the blowing is done during the
winter season than there would If it
were left until spring.
The capillary connection with the
subsoil will have time to be renewed
If the blowing is done early. This is
an important item that is not often
considered.

years of getting as nearly all of my

BIG ADVANTAGE In
USING LARGE SEED
Many Plants Mature Earlier,
Show Increase in Yield and
Grow Larger Leaves.
By M. B, CTJMMTNGs1


Extensive experiments show that a
distinct advantage follows the use of
heavy or large seed. The results at
tanned with seed sorting with sundry
plants are of assistance in the expla-
nation of several points relating to the
differences in maturity, lack of uni
formity in size, season, and quality of
production.
che advantages which accrue from
the use of large and heavy sweet pea
seed are earlier poisoning, larger
total number of blossoms, larger
number of blossoms of good quality as
indicated by the size of bloom and
length OF stem. Pants grown from
large seed are heavier and bear more
and larger lateral branches.
Hubbard squash and sweet pumpkin
respond well to seed selection. Plants
grown from small seed yielded larger
number and greater total weight of
fruit, but were, however, markedly in
ferior with respect to size and
weight of ripe fruit Special precau-
order to avoid a mixed heritage of
seed.
The merits of large seed in lettuce
culture are shown in the production of
larger seeding, an increased weight of
early matured plants, which displayed
better heading-up capabilities. earlf
ness and uniformity in filling the
heads; in short, augmented earliness
and quality.
Heavy spinach seed outclasses light
seed in weight of plants, width and
number of leaves, height of main stalk
and general earliness.
Parsley, biennial herb which
quickly renews its top when cut back,
gives not merely larger and earlier
foliage, but shows greater recupera-
tive powers when the larger seed is
used.
Radishes, one of the shortest of
short-term crops, show good gains in
favor of large seeds. Sorting the sizes
from the same parent gives as great
contrast as sorting composite sam
pies, showing that gains may be made
irrespective OF the nature Of the parent
plant. Large seeds give a more uni
form crop ready for use about one
week in advance Of small seed.
Trials with beans resulted in favor
of the large seeds. The advantage
accruing from the earliness Of the
product grown aom the large seed is
somewhat Offset by its later germina-
ton.
In q single trial garden peas made
little or no response to size selection

the birthplace of Froissart and Wat
teau and as the original source OF the
famous lace of the same name, and re-
Gently unenviably prominent in the
war dispatches.
To the southeast of Valenciennes
and Maubeuge, where the big fortress
was captured by the Germans early
in the war, lies the region known by
the general name of Ardennes. Long
ago in the days of the Roman occupa-
ton this region occupied vastly
greater area than at present, and ex-
tended eastward as far as the Rhine.
Caesar in his Commentaries described
it under the Latin name of 'Arduenna
silva" as the largest forest in Gaul.
With the advance of civilization, how
ever, the forest was gradually cleared
away until now the region is restricted
to an area some 100 miles long by 4O4
miles wide, divided about equally be-
tween France and Belgium.
South of the ATdennes is the forest
of Argonne, concerning which so much
has been heard in the present war as
the scene OF many vigorous encoun-
tiers. The region to which the name Ia
commonly applied comprises rocky
forest-clad plateau some GO miles long
by 10 miles wide, extending from the
plateau Of the Ardennes on the north
to the plateau of Haute Marine on the
south. On the east it is bounded by the
River Meuse and on the west by the
Aisne and the Ante. In this district
have been some of the most sanguin-
airy engagements of the war. The
plateau has an average elevation OF
about 1,150 feet and, like the Ar
dennes, is much dissected by many
precipitous gorges. In addition to it's
numerous forests Of oak and beech,
the region is excellently suited to form
natural barrier TO any hostile inva-
sion because of the fact that the Aire
and other rivers traverse 1t lengthwise
parallel TO the French torder.

cover vary widely. In the roughly rec
tangular area to the northeast Of the
Seine and northwest of the Disc, the
country Is for the most part very fiat,
and is almost wholly given up to agri-
culture. To the south of the Disc and
the Aisne, it becomes more undulat-
ing, with low hills, and here the farm
ing land is interspersed with patches
of forest and woodland Still farther
to the south and east along the Mouse
river and in the Vosges mountains, the
country becomes still more rugged and
the forests more abundant.
The topography and the distribution
of the forests throughout this region
probably account largely for the deci-
sion of the Germans to hurl their main
attack against France through Belgium
rather than through the more difficult
route to the south. To these factors
can also be attributed in large measure
the rapid advance of the right wing
of the German army in the early stages
of the war, while the left made little
or no progress. In the north the COM
parative level, unwooded country in
terposed practically no obstacle to. the
free movement of the armies, and as
a result the early advance of the
Germans here was almost incredibly
swift During the same period, farther
to the south in the region of Verdun
and Nancy, the rugged, heavily wooded
country, in conjunction with fortified
tons and strongly entrenched troops,
held both armies practically station
airy.
Serious Damage 10 Certain.
To what extent the forests in the war
zone will be injured during the prog
ress of the war is problematical. That
they will suffer more or less, however,
cannot be doubted. Much wood will be
cut for fuel and construction work;
trees will be felled to block roads;
whole stands may be leveIed to clear
he way for artillery fire; and the rain

(By v. SHOESMITH)
Aside from its value as soil i'm
proven there are three important
places that alfalfa may occupy on the
farm: Seeded alone as hay crop;
seeded alone as pasture crop for
hogs and under certain conditions
for other classes of stock, and for
mixing with the grasses and clovers
for meadows and pastures for all
kinds of stock. Under soil conditions
favorable for the growing of this crop,
it is generally advisable to use alfalfa
for all three of these purposes. A
good stand Of alfalfa may be expected
to produce more hay than any of the
grasses or clovers and the annual risk
and expense of seeding is largely done
away with. Every general or stock
farmer should seed small acreage
near the barn as pasture for hogs.
A western man, writing about alfalfa,
said: ga pig in an alfalfa field is sure
to make a hog of himself
On many farms portion of the soil
is only fairly well suited to the grow
ing of alfalfa; besides some of the
grasses should be seeded to produce
Lay for the horses and to avoid the
danger of bloating when used for pas
ture, SO that it does not seem prac-
ticable to devote all of the seeded
area of the farm to alfalfa, as good
as it is. Even under these conditions
alfalfa, if seeded with some of the
grasses and clovers, usually proves to
be a very valuable part of the mix
ture. The seeding alone of a large

" be found that the forests of
the regions involved have
played a much more important part
than is suspected by the ordinary
reader, says Samuel T. Dana in Amer
lean Forestry. A hint of this is con-
tanned in German news dispatch
which read, Heavy fighting continues
in the Argonnes. Our troops are NOV
ing through dense underwood in very
difficult ground with siege trains for
use against the Notifications. The
French troops offer obstinate resis-
lance, firing from trees where machine
guns are posted"
Argonne, which has been the scene of
such vigorous and continued fighting
during the present war, enabled the
French to repulse the Prussian attack
of 1892, and nearly eighty years later,
In 1870, at the time of the Franco
Prussian war, concealed the maneu-
vers of the Germans before their crush
ing defeat of the French in the battle
of Sedan. To the westward the forest
Of Orleans is said to have given the
French the opportunity of rallying for
their final stand in 1871; while to the
eastward the forest of Soignes, by the
shelter which it offered to Yelling
toms forces, contributed to the defeat
of Napoleon at Waterloo.
That the French government itself
recognizes the forests as means of
defense is shown by provision in the
Code Forester, adopted in 1927, and
still the forest law of the land, that
private owners can be prevented by
the government from clearing away
forests at the frontier wherever these
are deemed necessary for defensive
purposes. There can be no question
but that they are in fact a decided
advantage to the army having posses
sion of them.

acreage at the first attempt is not rec
commended, as the risk of failure in
the hands of the inexperienced grower
is toe great, but the alfalfa seed
should be mixed with the regular seed
ing of clover and should also be seed
ed alone on small acreage and this
increased from year to year until the
desired acreage is secured.
Alfalfa is leguminous plant, and
closely related to the clovers, cow
peas, beans, ETC., and like them is able
to take it's supply of nitrogen from the
atmosphere. 1t thus improves the
soil in the same way clover does.
However, after the alfalfa has been
seeded in the field for several years
and the nitrogen content of the soil
increased by the decay of roots,
nodules, stubble and leaves, the crop
will feed On the nitrates made from
this source and will take a smaller
percentage of it's nitrogen from the
atmosphere. The alfalfa then does
not do as much to build up the nitro
gen content of the soil after it has
been grown for several years in a
field as it does during the first two
or three years after seeding. 1t is,
therefore, not advisable to leave enc
field seeded for an indefinite period
of years, or as long as it produces
satisfactorily as is commonly done,
but to seed new field which needs
building up and to pillow up the old
field, which should be in excellent
condition to produce very satisfactory
yields of corn and other crops.
