FIGHTING CONTINUES.
(By Associated Press,)

Italian Army Headquarters in
Northern Italy, Tuesday, Nov. 90
The heavy fighting which began on
Sunday in the north continues with
great violence, centering on the slope
of Monte Monfenera. Enemy
masses alternate fierce artillery at
tacks with Infantry attacks, which
have been repu1sed by the heroic
bravery of the Italian troops.
The battle is taking a wide range
and gradually concentrating >on three
main fronts. 1t is not a question of
gaining or losing kilometers, but it
is a gigantic battle in which Italy's
part i'll the war; with its resultant eff
feet on the allies, is largely at stake.
Offensive Grows Stronger.
The Austro-G German offensive, which
began three weeks ago, has not di-
minished, but is. steadily intensifying.
Frontal attacks thus far have failed
on the Piave and the northern Asiago
plain. This compels the enemy to at
tempt to make a breach by one of
the Italian fanks as the only
resort after the checking OF the
frontal attacks. This explains the
gradual shifting of the front to three
main divisions: First, along the
Piave; second, from the Piave to the
Brenta; third, from the Brenta across
the, Asiago plateau.
Check Foes Advance.
The enemy's advance on the Piave
and the menace to Venice is fairly
we'll checked after the bloody re-
pulses of the last few days, but the
Austrians and Germans are still on
the east bank of, the river with for
forces pressing against this
narrow stream.

ture is rye This cereal is very hardy
and seldom winter-kills in this state.
II makes a rapid growth and does
well during weather too cool for

crop il is ready to be turned under
in the spring before either wheat or
oats. It is very suitable crop to
be planted between rows of cotton
even on poor soil, for pasture or
green manure.
The Abruzzi variety, which is be
coming popular at least in the south
ern two-thirds Of the state, is some
what earlier than common rye and as
a rule produces larger and better
grain At Monticello, Abruzzi rye was
much more satisfactory than common
rye. Abruzzi rye is not as hardy as
common rye in northern districts Of
the state Rye is usually planted at
the rate of four pecks per acre. 1t can
be planted somewhat later than
wheat, but otherwise the culture IL

FOR
FALL GRAIN CROPS
Most Soils of Arkansas Deficient in
Phorus While Many Are Deficient
in Both Nitrogen and Phosphorus.
By De F. Hungerford, Assistant
Agronomist, University of
Arkansas.

The prospects are favorable for
continued high prices for wheat ana
other fall sown grain crops. Every
acre of such crops should be made 10
produce its maximum yield IN order
that the world may be supplied with
bread The experiments conducted by
the College of Agriculture of the Uni
versity of Arkansas indicate that
even when prices are normal, nitro
gen and phosphate fertilizers can be
used with profit on winter wheat
With prices such as they are at pres
ent the profits would be very much
greater.
Most of the soils of Arkansas are
deficient in phosphorus, while many
of them are deficient in both nitrogen
and phosphorus. It is recommended
that for upland soils which have not
been maured recently, 400 pounds of
a mixture containing equal parts of
acid phosphate and cotton seed meal
be used Nitrate of soda at the rate
of 100 pounds per acre may be
used instead of the cotton seed meal
on soils which are not too sandy. For
river bottom soils and the better
grades of upland soil, acid phosphate
alone at the rate of $50 to ESQ pounds
per acre will give good results.
Raw rock phosphate has been found
to yield profitable returns, but it is
slower in its action, sometimes re
curing two or three years to produce
results In the present crisis, there
fore, il is urged that the more read
lily available acid phosphate be used
in order That large, immediate re-
turns may be had.
Fertilizers should be ordered at
once. The indications are that the
freight ear shortage will bemore acute
this season than ever before, and since
most other commodities will be given
precedence over fertilizers. hence or
ders made late IN the season are
likely to be subject to many delays,

PROTECT GRAIN FROM WEEViL

BY Geo G. Becker, State Entomoio-
gist. University of Arkansas.
All the peas and beans which Ark
ansas may raise may be rendered

sumption might deteriorate in value
at the rate of three cents per bushel
per month for every month that it is

her. unless Arkansas farmers take
steps TO prevent the rayages OF va
rious grain weevil These losses can
be prevented by the use of lime and
by proper methods of storage.
Lime Dust Method.
In the case of peas and beans, the
work Of weevils can be readily kept
in check by storing them away in
lime dust For this purpose use air
Stacked lime dust. This is commonly
found as waste in many lumber yards.
Mix the peas or beans together with
the lime at the rate of one part. by
weight. or lime dust to two parts, by
weight. of beans or peas. The peas
or beans may then be stored away
with the lime in sacks, barrels, boxes
or other containers
Weeyils in corn can be prevented
by husking the corn in the field. in
so doing you will leave most Of the
weeyils in the field. Moreover. corn
when stored with husks on Will be
subject to about four times the
amount of damage done through Wee
wis than unhusked corn.
In husking, have a division in the
wagon bed on one side put all he
badly infested ears. and the other put
the sound ears A box may be at
tached to the back of the bed TO re-
ceive seeds ears. In storing, put all
the sound ears in the back of the bin
and those which are infested in front
of the bin so that the latter will be
used up first.
In collecting for seeds ears, select
ears with tight husks and well Gov
cred tips. If this is borne in mind it
will be possible in time TO select
strain of corn which will be practi-
cally weevil resistant.
