hill was covered with pockmarks
where shells had exploded. Be-
tween them q faint trHcery OF spring
green was beginning to show. Not
sound could be heard In this for.
est Of the Argonne except a venture
some bird that whiatled as II
brought straw for . nest 1t had
blithely located In the fork OF a
shattered tree. Some one, some
where. gave = signal. Perhaps It
was only that the long hand OF
the watch had crossed the mark OF
the hour. On either side--back OF
us--guns began to thump. On the
other hillside bursts Of earth and
smoke told where the shells were
landing
At first the sounds of the guns
seemed scattered. methodical. pre-
else. II seemed the French were
firing very slowly. I was thorough
ly surprised when ! found my hands
cupped about Washbourne's ear.
and realized th&t unless shouted
he could not understand me. The
swapping OF the guns had mounted
into a roar. We knew that the Ger
mans were firing back because we
could hear shells whistle overhead
and see them burst near us. But
we could not hear their guns. We
did not even hear a shell that burst
30 feet from us. We only knew or
Il when an ofYicer spoke.
The distant slope OF the hill was
disappearing from sight under
cloud OF dust and smoke. The aft
ernoon sun shone full on II. so that
we could plainly see the clean-cut
belt picked out by the French shells.
At first we had been able to see
them strike on the lips OF the Ger
man trenches. Sometimes II seemed
as though they went in. from the
nature OF the explosion. Later
there was Just a dull band Of tan
and black drawn across the hill. IT
mounted higher as more shells fell.
Then the French guns stopped
short. II was not silence that
followed. for the German shells were
still breaking near us. But 1t was
almost silence. After a moment We
stopped shouting. We were abashed.
as people are who are talking in
church during a pause in the hymn.
"We can give the Germans 10
shells to one" said the general offi-
Ger, as we splashed out OF the
trenches. mo matter how many
they send us we can send them ~
for one"
The dust and smoke had settled
almost to earth when We reached
the last point from which we could
see the other slope Of that Argonne
hill. Through the film that re-
NAMED we could see the lines OF the
trenches. II seemed as though
these lines were no longer clean cut
and precise. but as though they had
been smeared upon the hillside as
boys hand dulls the drawing on
his slate. There were holes and pits
near them.
Before the day Is over the. Ger
mans will shell u.s." said the gen.
eral officer. Just now he IL too

IOWA STATE DAIRY ASSOCIATION
CONVENTION

Some Of the most interesting fea-
lures of the Dairy Cattle Congress,
October I'd to 8th, will be the conven-
ton sessions Of the Iowa State Dairy
Association, which is composed of over
700 buttermakers, creamery man
ayers, dairymen and farmers of the
state. The programs throughout the
convention will be of the same high
class that has always characterized
them. The butter-makers will hold
their special meetings on Wednesday
and Thursday; while the producers
or dairymen will meet Tuesday and
Thursday. Lecturers Of national rep
utation upon the subjects of creamery
management will address the butter
makers at their meetings, which
should be attended by every man max
ing butter in the state. The dairymen
will have meetings of special interest
to the farmer who is interested in
building up his dairy herd. These
should be exceedingly helpful to those
wishing information along these lines,
for at the close of each lecture an op-
portunity will be given for any ques-
lions which the audience may wish to
ask. The subjects suggested in this
way will be treated in detail and all
questions answered satisfactorily to
the person asking them. These ses-
sions WILL be held in a permanent
building especially provided for this
purpose, which will comfortably seat
1000 listeners.

COW TESTING ASSOC|A.
ton DEMONSTRATION
FIFTY COWS IN EXHIBIT

The Cow Testing Association dem
onstratiOn which was featured at the
1915 Dairy Cattle Congress was very
successful in every respect and it will
be repeated again this year. The con-
test promises to be much larger and
the prizes for it have been increased
to considerable extent. The extern
sion department of Iowa College will
again have charge of this demonstra-
ton and will cooperate with the test
associations in making the demonst-a-
ton an interesting and educational
feature.
The purpose Of the demonstration is
to show in clear and concise manner
the benefits derived from having such
an organization in a community. The
members of the COW testing associa-
tons are all convinced that this
means Of determining the value OF their
herds is of great benefit to them and
repays many times over the cost of
joining such an association and extra
work involved in conducting it.
"A pOTllOu VI llle CdIllt pdflllOu Will
be set aside for this demonstration
Five animals from each association
will represent the best and the poor
est individuals from the various asso-
Citations. Their individual records and

to answer any questions which visitors
might wish to ask in regard to the
demonstration. Informal programs
will also be conducted each day. The
animals will be used to illustrate the
lectures given by prominent dairymen,
professors of dairying and farmers
who attend.
