PATHS OF GLORY"
IMPRESSIONS OF WAR WRITTEN
AT NEAR THE FRONT" BY Irwin S.
Cobb. George II. Doran company, pub
fishers, New York.
Famous though Mr. Irwin S. Cobb is
as the author of Back Home and Europe
Revised, nothing he has done is of greater
Importance than his account of the great
war, and as a corollary no account of
the great war Is more human and dra-
matte. While Mr.. Cobb was in Europe,
the cables carried dozens of stories about
his capture by the Germans, his incarce-
ration in a German fortress, his later re-
lease; his observations with the Germans
at the 'front.' in Belgium and elsewhere,
his slimpses of the allies and his ia
nous interview with Lord Kitchener. His
articles based on these experiences are
now collected In Paths of Glory AS with
all of Cobb's brilliant writing, three ele-
ments mingle and by contrast strengthen
each other-the sympathetic picture of the
tragedy of homeless Belgian women and
children; the striking narrative and In
cisive descriptions OF the actual fighting,
and the humor that underlies the tragedy,
particularly the humor of Cobb's own mis-
adventures.

While the apple will grow under

things. Not all the land in any OF the
great fruit areas can be considered as
fruit land.
In fact only here and there in these
areas of country are there sections OF
territory that answer the requirements
Of fruit growing. And Of these small
sections but a small percentage OF the
land will measure up to the necessary
specifications for profitable orchard
Ing.
We must expect also that the more

START OF BLACKBERRY PATCH
Average Yield of 1900 Quarts to Acre
Can Be Expected, According to
Government Estimate.

A recent government publication
states that under good management
an average yield of 1900 quarts or
blackberries to the acre can be ex-
pected Where the soil is deep and
rich and the best moisture conditions
are found this may be increased to
5000 quarts. The last federal census
showed that approximately $4,000
acres were devoted to blackberry
plantations in the country.
In selecting a site for a blackberry
plantation the most important con-
siderations are the moisture of the
soil and the accessibility of a market.
The blackberry is tender fruit, the
keeping qualities of which are serious
ly affected by jarring over rough
roads. 1t is, moreover, essential that
the berries should be placed on the
market as quickly as possible after
they are picked If they are to COM
mand a good price. The best land is
a deep, fine, sandy loan with a large
supply of humus and abundant mois-
ture at the ripening season.
The earlier the plants are set the
larger the proportion that will live
and the better their growth. The
roots should be set deeply, for the
canes break easily if the crowns
project above the surface of the
ground. The tops should be cut back
to six inches or so in length. AS cul-
tivation is necessary the plants are set
sufficiently far apart to permit of 1t.

you have to do is to thrust in the
ground near the garden stout stake
which will support a row Of grape
vines across your garden for many
years previous to your building a trel-
lis for the grape vines. Or you can
grow grapes in this row Of vines across
your garden without ever building a
trellis, but by simply training a cane
or two of the vine to a stake or post.
Notice that a grape vine will make
