! rope.
The power to make a successful
offensive in the west has definitely,
completely and finally passed from
the hands of the Germans. This
statement was made officially last
night by Secretary Of War Baker in
review Of operations on all Euro
pean fronts.
The ,Secretary's statement was
carefully prepared by experts of the
Army War College on reports and
statements from the entente gov
ernments and from American officers
serving as observers with the allied
armies.
1t covers operations for the week
ended September 90 and follows:
AS the time draws near when
military operations on a large scale
on the western front must come to
standstill, owing TO the approach OF
winter, it becomes evident that the
enemy does not feel himself in Il
position to undertake the much-ad-
vertised offensive action so often
bcastcd of at home during the past
summer in order to end the war vic
toriously by Christmas.
at may be stated affirmativcly
that the asccndency in the West mas
definitely passed to the allies, though
the latter are contents by tactics OF
attrition to wear down the enemy,
giving no rest or respite until ;1ch
a time as the force of our arms may
make itself felt in the field.

London, Sept. 27.-For the third
time WITHIN two months the British
struck on the Ypres front yesterday
News from the front yesterday even
ing indicated that important gains
already have been made. Sir Douglas
Haig officially bulletined IN the al
tcrnoon: "Our troops are reported to
be making good progress"
A struggle fiercer than any pre-
~vious one in this sector continued
far into the night along line few
hundred yards west of Zennebekc
five miles northeast of Ypres). The
Germans have brought up power
full reserves and are resisting with
Unprecedented stubbornness.
The British attacks are delivered
between the Ypres-Roulers Railway
and the Ypres- Mcnin highway. They
are aimed at thrusting forward, II
necessary yard by yard, the wedge
in the Teuton lines. Already it points
menacingly toward Litto the obJec-

At last accounts the Anzacs-Aus-

LOUISIANA GROWS ONLY
ONE-HALF CORN NEEDED
imperative That Acreage Be lncreas-
ed-Most important Food Crop ~
State-PIant Standard Varieties.

Corn is the most important 1000
crop grown in Louisiana and amounts
to about forty-millior bushels a year.
This great amount, however, Is only
about one-half of the corn and corn
products required to meet the needs
of the state. 1t is imperative, there
fore, that the acreage planted to this
crop be greatly increased.
AS a rule, it is not advisable TO
plant corn on poor land, but under ex-
isting conditions of great need Tor
increased food production, corn should
be planted on the poorest grade u
land as well as on the best, and q
crop Of velvet beans should be grown
with the corn to help make it proht-
able.
The season for planting corn VIII
last until about the first OF July. II
is recommended that the native va
rieties, such as Calhoun Red Cob, Sen
tells White Dent, Hastings Prolific
Mosby's Prolific, ETC., be planted VI
to the first Of June, after which some
of the earlier maturing types, such Al
Laguna and Dwarf Mexican JUNE
should be planted.
Corn is a crop that is greatly IN
fuenced by soil and by rainfall dur
ing the growing season. The only
thing that a farmer can do to over
come these difficulties is to prepare
tho soil thoroughly and give the corr
the best possible cultivation.-W. X

PLANT VELVET BEANS
FOR WINTER GRAZING

Unsurpassed For Feed and Soil I'm
provement-May Be Planted as
Late as June IS.
Velvet beans should be planted in
every row of corn and every effort
made to grow maximum crop. For
providing feed for animals that may
be utilized in winter and for improv
ing the soil it is unsurpassed. The
Early Speckled variety will produce a
good seed crop, and may be planted
as late as June Is. The vines are not
considered desirable for hay on ac-
count of the difficulty in harvesting
and curing, but when left in the field
livestock will Craze them throughout
the winter and utilize their full feed
ing value. The beans that under good.
ordinary conditions will produce as
much as a ton of seed in the pod per
acre may be harvested and either
shelled for seed purposes or ground
into feed-pod and all. This makes a
food equal in value to shorts or bran,
and is very valuable for horses, cat
tie and hogs.-W. R. Perkins, Exter-
sion Division, Louisiana State Univer-

SORGHUM MAKES LARGE
QUANTITY OF SILAGE
Hay From Sorghum Is Also Good
Valuable For Syrup.

Sorghum produces an abundance Of
cheap and nutritious forage and can
be grown at little cost 1t is suggest
ed that anyone who contemplates fill
ing silo this year grow sorghum for
that purpose instead of corn and lei
all the corn grown come to maturity.
The sorghum will produce twice as
much tonnage per acre as will corn,
and experiments in different states
show It to be almost equal to corn in
feeding value, pound for pound.
The Texas Seeded Ribbon Cane, one
of the large varieties, is the best to
grow for silage. This variety and the
Orange are both valuable for syrup,
which should not be neglected by far
mers. Hay from sorghum is also
good. The Early Amber variety should
be planted for that purpose Sorghum
may be planted up to the middle Of
July.-W. R. Perkins, Extension Dr.
