VERDuN'S IMPORTANCE
As A STRATEGIC POINT
Has Long Been Used As a Ma
tional Stronghold In De.
j tense OF France.

The furious and prolonged at
tacks which the Germans have been
,haking on Verdun give some I'M
preston of the importance OF TINS
French stronghold. Verdun has
been regarded as one of the two
great pillars of the French frontier
defenses. The other is Belfort. YER
dun lies on the Mouse, and on the
main line of the Paris-Metz railway.
Verdun and Metz are opposing
.strongholds, and each is a base OF
operations. 1t is presumed from the
yigor of the German offensive that
the central powers are willing to pay
a terrible price for possession OF the
French post. From its position on
the Meuse heights. Verdun guards
the gates of the upper Mouse valley
leading into the heart of some OF
the richest country in France. Be-
hind and to the south of the forti-
fications are the entrenched camps OF
Toul and Epinal, the secondary line
of defense for the support of either
Verdun or Belfort.
Verdun consists of twenty forts
and thirty small works, not includ-
ing the many engineering projects
for defense and offense completed
since the opposing armies entrench-
ed on the present line. The con-
crete and steel defenses, at least in
part, are the result of the lessons
learned by German bombardments In
Belgium. Many of them have been
especially constructed to Withstand
the worst assaults of the heaviest
artillery. Early in the present war
Verdun stood as a pivot of protec-
ton for France when the Germans
poured over the border and threat
ened Paris.

was a tower of strength to the

a Tanlac verdict. Upon the endorse

known people rests the great and
secure popularity of Tanlac.

ORCHARD AND GARDEN CROPS
No. 5.-The Home Garden.

No. 5.--The Home Garden.
 By J. s. Knox Extension Horticultur-
 ist University of Arkansas.
 No other area on the whole farm will compare in value with the home garden. If properly prepared, fertil- ized, planted and cultivated, a one acre garden is easily worth S10O.00 to the farmer, and if he counts in the garden truck at the same price he pays for 1t at the grocery store, he will find that $10000 is a low esti- mate of the crop grown in the gar den. There are hundreds of homes in the state of Arkansas where, eX- cepting possibly in early summer, there is nothing to be had from the garden, and every year we are send ing thousands of dollars to other states to buy vegetables that should be grown in our own gardens. We do not need a better market for what we can grow in a small garden than that of supplying our own tables.
 Location.-In selecting a location for the home garden the following points should be considered: CD The Soil. In order to grow vegetables that are of the highest quality 1t Is necessary to have a deep, rich, loose and misunderstanding soil. Vegeta- bles grown on a poor soil where growth is slow are very apt to be tough and stringy or unfit for eating purposes. The moisture-retaining property is also desirable one, es- pecially during the dry, hot days of summer, Unless the soil Is loose it is very hard to get a stand of the small seeded plants, because they do not possess the necessary vitality to push their way through hard, crusty soil. Then, too, it Is very difficult to cultivate small plants when the soil Is compact or crusty
