Three Nations Unite
in Restoration of
Devastated Lands
rRx the Associated Press.l

On the French Front, June 26.-
American, French and British civilians
are working in closest cooperation
with the French military and civic au-
thorities in restoring the lands de-
vastated by the Germans when they
hurriedly quit the line from Noyon
to the Somme. The associated Press
correspondent after visiting Noyon the
adopted daughter of Washington, Went
thru the entire district and observed
what was being done.
Other organizations and commune
ties are following the example Of the
federal capital and have devoted their
energies to the succor Of particular
localities. For instance, the American
fund for French wounded has stepped
aside from its original ideas and taken
full charge Of the hamlet Of Beheri-
court. with its 125 remaining inhabi-
tants.
All this, however, is but drop in the
ocean whensit is realized that there are
243 villages and hamlets spread over
the country which the Germans before
their retreat tried to make into q des-
ert. One hundred Of these small COM
munities are now just heaps of stones
and bricks without one habitable room
or cellar among them, while Of the re-
mainder one-third were partly demol-
tshed, the rest only slightly.
In this region $4,000 old men and
women and young children under l5
years were left without shelter or food
by the Germans. Some 10000 of these
were taken Immediately to the interior
Of France where some Joined rela-
tives.
The military authorities have grap-
pied In a masterful way with the Vast
problem Of providing for large des-
titute community Immediately behind
the lines. They set to work to organize
the country and its people.
The first step was to provide food
and this was done. Then came the
question Of putting in cultivation again
the 250,O00 acres of agricultural land
in the zone The devastated country
was divided fnto seven sections COM
posed of twenty-five communes, each
in charge Of an officer with skilled
aides, Horses were lent by the army,
broken plows and harrows repaired
by mechanics Of the army, seed and
plants were procured and work on the
land was begun. Manual labor was
found among the many peasants and
small farmers in the ranks.
Thirty American tractors were found
lying idle in q depot not far from the
stricken district and these were put
to work. Tho labor was dangerous
owing to the presence OF ,lnexploded
shells under the surface Of the fields,
but only one accident has occurred
from this cause.
In this way about 1000 acres of land
have been sown with grain and grass,
and another $500 more plowed and
cleared Of weeds, while with the help
of American, English and French
donors every family has been provided
with seeds and roots to form truck
garden, with the result that the COM
munity is expected to be self-support-
ing.

ARTIFICIAL INcusA7IoN-cHIcKs JUST MATCHED.

The care and feed given to a chick
during the first few weeks determine
to a large extent its future health and
productiveness, according to N. L. Har-
ris, superintendent of the Kansas State
Agricultural college poultry farm.
"The most critical period in the life
of a baby chick is the first four days."
said Mr.. Harris. MANY of the breed
ing fatalities at this time can be
traced directly to the condition of the
breeding stock, An overfat hen is not
in a condition to produce strong, Wig
orous germ. Neither can good results
be expected from hens confined in
small houses and runs.
"Free range is the ideal condition
for\ the production of eggs that will
hatch chicks which are full Of vitality.
Most Of the baby chicks produced from
eggs laid by hens under free range con-
ditlons are free from common chick
troubles.
IA common cause for high mortality
in the early period Of chicks life is
the shock 1t receives when taken from
a highly-heated incubator and placed
in a brooder where the temperature is
from 10 to 20 degrees lower. The at
mosphere of an incubator is saturated
to some extent with moisture, which
