FRENCH TELL Of

Three minutes later our columns de-

stOrmed the German works.

quarters. killing all the occupants of
the trenches, rs infantrymen and about
80 pioneers. We took four wounded
prisoners. At $3.50 o'clock we had gained
at least $50 yards of the enemy's
trenches.
Then Came Counter Attacks.
This brilliant result cost us rather
heavily We had hardly time to organ
lze our newly captured positions before
the Germans, who had been reinforced,
counter attacked and a desperate fight
ensued. They filled with bombs the
trenches which they had lost, but our

GERMANS BAT TER
RUSSIAN FORTS

Petrograd Russia, March 4-The
German forces in northern Poland are
concentrating their efforts in the en-
deavOr to break through the Russian
fortified lines near the Prussian from
tier by capturing the fortress of Os-

which is regarded as of high impOr-
tance, is proceeding with increased
violence. The Germans have succeeded
in bringing up some of their heaviest
and most effective guns, including the
great 16 inch field pieces.

is evident that the Germans have de

this point.

THRoWING AwAYGooD MONEY!

There are farmers in Mississippi who are
throwing Away good money because they pay no at
tenton to the guarantees on fertilizer and CONNER
clal feeding stuffs that they are buying. know
this to be a fact from letters recently received at
this office.
For instance: there are two grades of cotton
seed meal authorized by law and High" is worth
approximately $500 per ton more than Prime"
How many buyers pay any attention whatever to
the grade when they go to buy? Very few indeed.
and not to do so is a serious mistake.
Cotton seed meal that does not run as HIGH as
618 per cent of nitrogen must not be branded cot
ton seed meal, but cotton seed feed" or a mixture
of cotton seed meal and cotton seed hulls." That is
what the law says and the manufacturers and deal
es are within the law when they offer it on the
market.
Prime" cotton seed meal must contain not
less than 6.18 per cent nitrogren, or if stated in
feeding value, not less than 80 per of cent protein.
This grade is selling at from $500 to 5000 per
ton, possibly retailing for something above this
figure.
A sample of a popular Cotton seed" feed was
sent to the State Department some days ago that
guaranteed 20 per cent of protein and the man who
bought and used it paid $500 per ton. If Prime"
meal with 80 per cent of protein was worth 5000,
what was this feed worth?
That feeder was paying almost twice what the
feed was worth and all because he paid no attention
to the guarantee on the tag or sack. It is possible
that he bought the feed" and thought he was get
ting cotton seed meal. They look very much alike.
The manufacturer or dealer who will sell the
feed meal for cotton seed meal is subject to, and
should be, prosecuted.
A recent bulletin by the State Department of
Agriculture at Jackson explains this matter and can
be had for the asking. The people must wake up
to the importance Of knowing what they buy and in
sist on getting what they pay for.

Then how about the fellow who buys canned

FARMERS SHOULD COOPERATE WITH
THEIR COUNTY PAPERS.

The Record-Advertiser, published at Houston,
Va, is urging its rural subscribers to do just what
we should like for our farmers to do-give US the
news from their farms-to make our paper a sort of
clearing house of ideas for farmers of this vicinity.
Farmers do not use their local papers enough,
and yet the papers afford the best and quickest
ways to build up their farms and communities
Every farmer should tell his local paper about his
successes on the farm and how they were achieved.
We are always glad to get a farming story for it
enables us to spread the news of progress in our
vicinity. And no one needs a flow of eloquence to
tell OF his success. The facts of a farming success
are eloquent in themselves. So write us. The edi-
tor can rearrange the wording of it if such need
be done.
No farmer should be too Indifferent or too en-
crossed in his own work to pass a good idea along
to his %fellowmen, thus giving them the benefit of
his experience. Such articles are always an inspir-
alton to others. We we'll know the true and last
ing advancement of our community can come in no
other way than through the upbuilding of our
and so it is not political and social news we
want any more than it is news from the farms.

the rate of 30 to 70 per cent. a year in time prices;
it is usually the prices asked by travelling agents.
