 II ITALY
Mediterranean Country Uses Twice as Much Since War Started as in Same Time of Amy Year Before.

BOSTON, May 3l.-There has been exported to Italy more than SO,OO0,OOO pounds of copper from the United States since the first of July an amount more than double the snip ments to that country in the cores. pondius period of last year and by far the greatest tonnage ever sent 10 that Mediterranean country
 Just how much of the copper clear ed from American ports for Italy was really intended for Germany cannot, Of course, be ascertained. but during the first few months of the European hostilities large consignments of the metal destined for Italian ports fere held up off Gibraltar and taken to that British port by the English pa trols
 Some of the copper was later re- leased for shipment to destination, but this was done only after guaran. tees that the metal in its raw or man ufactured state would not be trans. shipped either to Germany or Austria
 Since the beginning of January and possibly during the closing months of 1914 the copper sent Go Italy was for Italian consumption The movement of copper to Italy in the first nine months of the three fiscal periods com mencing July 1 has been as follows:

Governor Willis evoked ap- plause when he said The President Of the United States is making a sue cessful effort to keep the United States out of the broils of Europe. !" and added; Now is the time to keep cool, think carefully and stand by the President He and his cabinet know vastly more of our delica,c relations with European belligerents than the rest of us can possibly know, let us hold up his hands in the patriotic ef- fort he is making in this crisis" The President sat amidst veterans of two wars during the exercises and uttered an audible Amen" at the con clusion Of the invocation by Bishop Earl Cranston of Washington. who prayed that the United States might i be led alright in the present crisis.

Engagement in Mid-Galicia Still Rages But Russians Claim to Have Taken the Offensive Along the Front.
ANOTHER BIG TEUTON
 DRIVE HAS SPENT ITSELF
French Continue to Make Progress in the West Near Arras. German Subma- rines Make More Inroads in Water.

LONDON. May 31.-The great bat. tle on the San. to which the Russians fell back after retreating over one half of Galicia. stin rages Uu, tae Russians assert they have assumed the offensive. This is taken in London to mean that another mighty German effort has expended itself The Rus sians claim victories virtually along the entire front, especially beyond Dneister where they say they have taken 1000 prisoners.
 There is little change on the west front Italy retaliated against the Austrian air and navl raids along her eastern coast by bombarding Pola the Austrian naval base, rom a diri- gible while Italian destroyers made a dash on Montalcone, doing consider able damage Co Austrian shipping and getting away unscratched.
 German submarines are eNtraOrdl- narly active, the news tonight adding one more neutral vessel to their growing list of victime This is the Danish steamer Sobork, sunk forty miles northeast of Tyne All hands were rescued.
 Though the fate of Przemysl is still uncertain, it is contended by the al- lied circles that the Austro-Germans have failed of their purpose to crush the Russians in Galicla and that the rush forward, costing as it did, thou sands of lives. has fallen short. just as did the repeated thrusts at Warsaw and Calais
 An official statement issued tonight by the Austrian war office makes no claim Of any noteworthy advance in the east, dismissing the Przemysl re- zion with the brief declaration that the lighting continues" asserting that there have been no serious en- gagement elsewhere on the eastern fronth. In the west neither side has done much of late Although the French continue gaining around Ar ras. there has been no hard fighting along the Ysor. The English press is following the German and Ameri- can exchanges of the Lusitania tra' eedy with the keenest of interest There is much speculation as to- the probable American action.

GROWING OF ALFALFA
ON THE HILL SIDES
(By ]. C. McAmis, Division of Exten-
sion, University of TENNESSEE

(By ]. C. MeAmis, Division Of Exten-
sion, University of Tennessee)
A few days ago l visited Mr.. MCGEE,
in Bradley county, Tennessee, who has
a fine demonstration of good mix
ture of sense, science, and alfalfa. he
was growing alfalfa successfully on
what was one time about the poorest
billy land on his farm. l say sue
cessfully, because he has cut twenty
tons of alfalfa hay per acre In nVe
years, and there remains good stand,
we'll established by now.
Every farmer ought to see and learn
the lesson. At the time the alfalfa
was seeded a fence was built to sep
arate it from the rest Of the hillside
which was being used for pasture. On
one side of the wire fence is success
full alfalfa, on the other is worn, red
clay knoll very thinly covered with
sedge and cedar bushes, a sight all
too common in Tennessee. The diner-
ence has been brought about by plenty
of lime and phosphate, and a little
manure.
Most farmers select their bottom
lands for alfalfa. This one did not.
He knew that the bottom lands were
better supplied with nitrogen than the
uplands. He remembered that alfalfa
was legume, and when lined and
inoculated, should take its nitrogen
from the air, and that corn could not.
Therefore, he knew that alfalfa would
have a relatively better chance on hill
lands than corn. He acted on his be-
lief and four tons OF alfalfa hay per
acre annually, for five years, has con-
WINGED him absolutely that he was
right 1t has convinced his neighbors,

again into ordinary English and did
not know that he had changed his
manner of speech.
For an instant Sally looked up into
his face, then with sudden laugh
she informed him:
"I can say isn't instead of 'haint,
too. How did you like my writing"
He held her of at arms length. and
looked at her pridefully, but under his
gaze her eyes fell and her face flushed
with a sudden diffidence and a new
shyness of realization. She wore
calico dress, but at her throat was
a soft little bow of ribbon. She was
no longer the totally unself-conscious
wood nymph, though as natural and in
stinctive as IN other days. Suddenly
she drew away from him little, ana
her hands went slowly to her breast
and rested there. She was fronting
a great crisis, but, in the first flush OF
Joy she had forgotten 1t. She had
spent lonely nights struggling for rudi-
ments; she had sought and fought to
refashion herself, so that, II he came,
he need not be ashamed of her. And
now he had come and, with terrible
clarity and distinctness, she realized
how pitifully little she had been able
TO accomplish. Would she pass mus
ter? She stood there before him,
frightened, self-conscious and palpi-
tating, then her voice came in whis-
per:
Samson, dear, I'm not holdin' you
to any promise. Those things we said
we're a long time back. Maybe we'd
better forget 'em now and begin all
over again"
But again he crushed her in his
arms and his voice rose triumphantly:
sally, have no promises to take
back, and you have made none that
I'm ever going to let you take back
not while life lasts!"
Her laugh was the delicious music
| of happiness.

To be continued.

Last year one man in Williamson
county slipped around and watched
the methods used in growing corn by
one of our demonstrators and made
fun Of his methods, and poked fun at
the idea of an old farmer taking adj
vice from a boy. But this year he
bought tool like the demonstrators
and worked his corn up to within a
few rods of the fence under our meth
ods, e~d then used the old method.
