yards Of the Anatola. He immedi-
ately hoisted the Greek flag. where
upon the submarine turned and went

Erosion.

Recent heavy rain over a wide area
of Texas and oklahoma should en-
phasze the Importance of drainage
and tcrracing to save land. The an
nual loss in fertile soil caused by
washing rains is very heavy even in
the Southwest, where much Of tho
land is level. Erosion has ruined
many farmers farther west and caused
many to live i'm town and hinder pro-
gress as an urban citizen Let us save
the soil and make 1t richer instead OF
prOOrer,

Let Us IaNc Hay.

Let us hope that hay crops will be
planted in abundance. Feeding is
much handicapped unless there is
plenty of hay for the stock. The en-,
barrassmcnt felt in going to the barn
to feed where there is no roughage is
keen. Cotton growers can not af-
ford to buy hay for their stock when
hay is so easily grown. Let every
grower plant sorghum, peas, millet,
soybeans and other crops suitable for
hay and forage.

French territory and varies in width
from one to eight miles. It lies be.
tween the sources Of the Atsue, on
the east, and the river Are, on the
west. The railway from Metz "a
chalons and Paris runs through one
of,its sharp-hemn passes.
This narrow, rockebound tangled
forest belt is rich in military history.
Its exceedingly difficult paths have
several times stopped the foreign in
