shelled ana sunk without warning by a
German submarine off the Isle of Wight
on November %, according to members
Of the crew, Americans. who arrived here

The John Lambert was one of twelve
vessels which, built on the Great Lakes.

Situated as you are, we would prefer
to mix the cotton seed meal and bran,
say in equal proportion and feed about
four pounds of this grain mixture IN
the morning and an equal amount at
night. The grain might be mixed with
the bulls. thus insuring its more COM
plete and thorough mastication. The
hay can be fed at night or in the morn
ing as you prefer. About s pounds by
weight will be enough to give in the
course of a day. Ten pounds OF hay
might be put in the manger after the
grain and hulls have been eaten up.
The alfalfa hay should be fed in the
middle of the day. A nice fresh sup
ply of it should be put in a rack out
in the yard if possible SO the cow will
have an opportunity to eat it at VIII.
1t is important that the feeding rack
be covered so as to protect the alfalfa
from injury by rain. OF course the
rack should be kept clean. You should
supply your COW with a reasonable
amount of rock salt. If this is kept in
a box along side OF the manager she viii
take what she needs.

The college has not published a bulle-
tin on velvet beans as yet but hopes to
get out a circular dealing with this sub
feet shortly after the first OF the new
year. 1t should be ready in ample time
to meet the needs of farmers who may
desire to plant velvet beans in 1917. The
velvet bean, as you know, is practically
a new crop in so far as it's utilization as
a concentrate is concerned. 1t does not
seem to contain much oil, and therefore,
does not possess qualities which are like
~ to make it of special value to the oil
mill man. 1t does make an eNcellen,
meal for feeding, however, as the follow
ing analysis will show:
Beans without the hulls; Protein 21.S
per cent: fat So per cent: fibre "a per
cent and carbohydrates Sill per cent.
Beans with the hulls: Protein 1913 per
cent; fat 1858 per cent; fibre 1882 per
cent; and carbohydrates $40 per cent. Il
also contains a considerable amount OF
plant food, the beans without the hulls,
for instance, containing 1913 pounds CT
nitrogen. 20 pounds of phosphoric acid
and "a pounds of potash per ton. Where
the bulls are ground with the beans, the
nitrogen falls to SOS pounds, the phos
phoric acid to Is pounds, while the pot.
ash remains practically the same. You
will observe that the protein content is
considerably higher than with wheat
bran. and in fact in feeding value the
velvet bean would probably rank about
the same as the cowpea or field pea. X
Is not so rich In protein as the soy bean
and contains less protein than the peanut
meal now being placed on the market in
Georgia. They only contain about one
half as much protein as cotton seed
meal. These beans, however, can be
combined to excellent advantage with
corn for feeding almost any class of live

ike All the information you can give me
Concerning the Sunbeam strain OF cotton.
Fhe Sunbeam cotton as you probably
know, was developed here on the col
lege farm Some seed of this variety
was distributed a few years ago and
an increasing amount has been sent out
for several years since 1t seems 10
have done we'll in that farmers ana
seedsmen who have raised it continue TO
grow il from year to year.
Finding that the Sunbeam cotton was
susceptible to Improvement we nave
made selections for several years now
and developed a strain that is known
as College No. 1, a strain which is con-
siderably superior. especially as to ear
illness. This College No. 1 is such a
new strain of cotton that only a small
amount of seed is available. Hence 1t
cannot be distributed in any quantity
until il has been grown on multiplying
pIats. The College No. is an extra ear
iy variety and produces a good staple.
The seed have also shown up well IN
content of oil ana nitrogen which are
matters of importance to growers and
breeders as the time is no doubt rapid
IN approaching when cotton seed Will
be bought on their merit, that is, their
content of oil and nitrogen. The sun
beam variety is strongly resistant TO
anthracnose and has made good per
cent of lint We have felt that ii
was a strain which we could recommend
with considerable satisfaction TO farm
ers and growers generally.

Mr.. Schoield's proposal is that a
clause should be inserted in the act
which would give the government
the power to devote money to the
reclamation Of lands owned by the
province. .e
This would enable the govern
ment to expend money upon reclaim
ing the flats in the Creston district
In this tract are 10000 acres of
land, sufficient to accommodate TO-
900 soldiers.

KouelIs Valuable To The
CzQr Because of Railroads
Radiating In Fiue Sections

WASHINGTON, D. c., July 49,
The National Geographic Societys
war geography bulletin on Kovel, is
sued today in Washington shows why
this town in the Russian province Of
Volhynia is of such great value to
the Cars forces. The bulletin says
"Kovel, a town of 10000 people at
the beginning of the war, owes it's i'm
mense strategic importance to the
fact that it is the junction point for
railroads which radiate, like the
spokes from the hub of WHEEL, in
five directions. To the northwest, is
the strongly fortified city of Bret-Lit-
ovsk, over whose possession there
was a terrific struggle when the Ger
mans were folding the Russians back
through Poland after the first Slav
drive early in the war. To the south
east, "a miles away, is Rovno, for
tress with population of 10000 at
the outbreak of the war and at that
time the headquarters of the 18th
Russian army corps. Lublin, with
10000 inhabitants. is 100 miles due
west, on the railroad running to
Warsaw, 2O9 miles away. Then to
the south is, Vladimir Volynski, 80
miles distant, and to the east runs the
line which passes through Sarni on
its way to Kiev.
In addition to these railway COL
nections Kovel is situated on the
banks of the Turiya, one of the tribu-
taries of the Pripet River, whose ex-
tensiye marshes lie to the north
where forests cover the land. In the
neighborhood of Kovel, however, ag-
riculture is we'll developed and at the
beginning of the war fully one fourth
