WEEKLY LETTER.

Two years ago 1 wrote letters ad- vising the farmers to plant cotton and corn in flat seed ,beds, where the land had good drainage, and to follow with level and shallow cultivation. A drought hit and those who followed the advice made good crops regard less. Last year there was plenty of moisture and rainfall in most parts, and those who planted and cultivated level and plowed shallow did not seem Ito have much advantage in yield. You see it don't take such careful culti- vation when the season hits. Any body can make a good crop by any system of cultivation when weather conditions are perfect, if you will stir the ground and keep out the weeds; but it takes a good farmer, hard work and the best methods to make a good crop when the weather conditions are bad.
 This year too many farmers are going back to the old method of bed ding their land for both cotton and corn, and no doubt mean to cultivate by the old method of bed cultivation, and lay by with a turning blow or double shovel, throwing the dirt to the crop and leave a ridge after split ting out the middles. If you are think ing of any such work, forget it, and get away from the old method. Whe- ther you have bedded or planted level. when your crop is up take a harrow and run across the rows for the first cultivation. In about a week do the same again. This will help work down the ridges, if they are there. The double shovel and deep blowing will not hurt so much the first blow ing, but after that, it is best to cul- tivate shallow, only about two inches, with some kind of side harrow. They are made to attach to cultivatorS now and are the very thing. The shallow cultivation should be kept up every week. If you have a dry spell this method will help you to stand it and save your crop.
 Look after the hogs well, and re- member we have a veterinarian who will vaccinate against cholera free of charge, only for the medicine.

GAINS ARE CLAIMED
 BY THE GERMANS
Paris Reports That to East of Hill Germans Were Driven From Trenches and Assaults Were Put Down.

London, May 8.-An entire system of trenches on the northern slope of Hill BOA has been captured by the Germans, and the French, in the fighting, suffered heavy losses, ac- cording to Berlin. Paris reports that to the east of the hill the Germans were driven from a communicating trench, and to the west of the hill a German assault against French posi- tions at Hill 2S7 was put down by the French fire.
 ! A heavy bombardment is in pro- gress against the Avocourt wood and the entire region of Hill 304, while to the east of Nerdun and in the Woevre the artillery activity con- tinues vigorous. Around the Thiau- mont farm, north of Verdun, a French attack broke down. The Germans on the Russian front ] launched an offensive to the south of lllukst against the Russians, but met with no success.
 Mine fighting and bombardments continue. In Galicia to the north west of Tarnopol, the Russians cap tured a mine crater from the leu tons. In the fighting in Asia Minor the Russians have compelled the Turks to withdraw from their first line trenches in the region of Erzin- gan.
 Attacks by the Austrians against the Italians in the Marmolada were repulsed. The bombardment in the Adamelto region continues. Here the Italians have destroyed an Austrian defense work on Col Topete.
 The Turkish cruiser Breslau is re- ported by Petrograd to have bonn barded Eupatoria in the Grinca. The town is described as an unfortified health station. The entente allied front in France has been strength ened by the arrival of Australian and New Zealand troops who have taken a portion of the front.

A DECALOGUE OF LAW.
Bavarians Urged to Avoid Meshes of
 the Courts in War Time.

Berlin, via London.-In the Ba- varian courts a novel attempt is be- ing made to suppress the national passion for going to law by display of the following Ten Command ments" in the court houses:
 l. Avoid lawsuits, especially in this grave time of war
 ?. Thou knowest perhaps the be- ginning, but thou canst not divine the end.
 3. Thou savest much money, time and anxiety.
 1. Before starting litigation try to compromise amicably.
 }. Let thy prospective opponent tell his side, and then perhaps thou wilt myself see new light.
 6. Listen to the judge when he pro poses a settlement; he weans it well.
 '. Always draw up thy agreements in writing Read them carefully be- fore thou signest, then thou will avoid obscurity and possess myself of proofs. 8. Remember that only that which thou canst prove counts in court
 9. Drive not thy opponents to ex- tremes. Thou mayst some day need him.
 10. Run not to the courts with thy petty squables.

WILSON DISPLEASED
 WITH BERLIN NOTE

Washington, May S.-A note to Germany virtually has been complet- ed and probably will go forward to Berlin today. It will be made pub lie soon afterward. It is understood it will be brief, informing Germany that as long as the new instructions to submarine commanders are ob- served diplomatic relations will be continued, but that the United States cannot allow Germany to dictate its negotiations with Great Britain.
 While the German note has avert ed, for the present at least, break in diplomatic relations, it was said today that the president was not sat isfied with the apparent conditions attached by Germany. The United States stands by it's demand that Germany cease her attacks on yes sels in violation of international law, regardless of negotiations which may be carried on with Great Britain over the food blockade.
 Some of his advisers wanted him to make no reply to the German note and await developments.
