SEVENTH CENTURY WARFARE

A college professor whose business it is to lecture to students Mohammedanism presents interesting glimpse of a military campaign in Syria thirteen turies ago It in the early days when the Kutur of Islam being spread by the sword. The Caliph leading army against Damascus:

 We likely think of that distant time ignor ant, crude and barbarous. Perhaps it was. No doubt the world is much highly civilized today. And Christianity has made finer and humane. Still when the professor contempates tue latest historical parallel to that ancient Mohammedan campaign he fesses that it makes him pessmistic
 His thoughts inevitably to the German invasion of Belgium and France and the horrors brought there under eyes Still more inevitably he contrasts with the old Mohammedan tolerance and mercy the de- vasation wrought by the troops their from the fertile happy land northern France.

 And both Mohammedons and Germans did it in the of the Lord.

and higher prices because of the war.
 From present indications the com bined winter wheat and rye harvest will be 47O.OOO,OOO bushels compaI ed with 529, 7,OO0 bushels for those crops last year. Winter wheat was sown last autumn on 4O,09O.GO0 acres. which is close to the largest acreage on record. The crop had bad start in the important growing states and entered winter in poor condition. h. sufficient snow covering during tke winter and dry and windy weather killed much of it.
 Much of the abandoned acreage will be planted to corn in the southern part of the belt and to spring wheat in the northern. Prevailing high prices for wheat are expected to spur farmers to place a larger acreage un- der spring wheat and officials look for a record crop of that cereal.
