London, Nov. 16.-After four weeks
OF most desperate fighting there Is q
lull In the battle in F1andera With
this lull, however. has come little re-
lief for the men in the trenches, as
the artillery and rifle fire. to which
they have been subjected with hardly
any intermission, has been replaced
by one of those severe storms which
so often accompany November in this
latitude
In some parts of England the storm
has reached the proportions of a bliz-
zard; on the sea a heavy gale RACES
and the battlefields are getting their
full share of wind and rain.
For the most part the opposing ar
mics have been content to shell each
other at long range. but the Ger

the French general staff. have been
repulsed with heavy losses. Despite
these losses it Is not believed the
Germans have any intention Of giving
up their attempt to reach the French
coast. and the allies are making ella
borate preparations to block any fur
ther advance In force.
Extensive defense works have been
erected along the User canal. and the
French armies are holding that line
from the Belgian border south to. the
river Disc and pushing forward ap-
proach works which place them in a
better position for either defense or
offense.

ALFALFA IN WEST VIRGINIA.

G. H. Royce. manager of We'd
dington Farms near Wheeling
says that silage and alfalfa will
ultimately be everywhere recog-
nized as the standard dairy ration.
Silage makes the best possible
use of the corn crop and alfalfa
furnishes an abundance of nu-
tritious hay from limited area
of land. Mr. Royce states posi-
lively that West Virginia soils
will produce four tons of alfalfa
hay per acre year after year. He
emphasizes t h next, however.
that much must be done by way
of preparing the soils and supply
ing an abundance Of plant food
before success can be obtained
with alfalfa. No furthuf expert
mentlng is needed to demonstrate
that alfalfa will grow 1T is ac-
tuaily growing in practically
every county of the state. The
thing needed now is wider I'M

tees and fertility methods which
