London, May 1.-Reuter's cores pondent on the British battle line telegraphed today: ''In a general way the situation along the front of attack which began at day break on Saturday is that we hold the German front line from point where the Bailleul Biache loop crosses the trnches northwest of Gavrelle to fork in the Oppy line. Between that place and Arleux, beyond the fork, we hold the Ger man support line for length of 1,- 200 yards. Thence our front con- tinues just east of Arleux.
 "The weather was too hay for good air work and artillery ob- servation was correspondingly poor, but the gunners on both sides have plenty of registered targets and the old familiar thunder waxes and wanes.

the acreage devoted to food CROPS as
practically all of the land has been
planted, but large yields can be OBJ
famed just the same. provided good
GultlVat1on Is given and fertilizers are
nDeraHy applied as side applications.
Potatoes have advanced $50 per
cent, corn 100 per cent, hay SO Der
cent. beef and pork 100 per cent.
whereas the cost of fertilizer has ad.
vanced only rs per cent.
The wheat crop this year is short.
and it has been estimated that $780,
100000 bushels of the 1917 wheat CROP
has been bought by European coun-
tries for future delivery. Unless the
corn crop of the South is bumper"
bread will be luxury instead Of the
staff of life.
The farmer is being advised on ev-
cry hand to increase production, but
he is limited in his credit and he finds
it hard to obtain sufficient labor. The
best way to increase the production
OF corn and other food crops, as well
as cotton, is to cultivate thoroughly
and often and make side applications
OF fertilizers. II the farmer hasn't the
money to hire labor, under present con-
d1tions, it will pay him to borrow
money ON his crop to pay sufficient
labor to cultivate and fertilize his
dust mulch should be made with the
cHltivatOr. We need not expect q
bountiful harvest unless the soil mois-
ture is conserved. AS a general rule,
the amount Of corn produced is in di-
rect proportion to the amount of wa
ter conserved in the soil by thorough
cultivation.
Hon. J. A. Wade, Commissioner Of
Agriculture OF Alabama, in a circular
letter issued to the farmers makes
this statement,-"It is evident that the
acreage planted to corn in the State
~ Alabama has heAn increased 40 tn E0
per cent and the farmers are to be
Congratulated for taking such a wise
step. A large yield Of corn is greatly

present food and feed emergency. A.
great part of the increased acreage is

liable yield only by the use of COM
mercial fertilizer. it has always paid

The corn crop Is the bread of the
South, and its yield should be increas-
ed to the limit This fall and next
more corn bread and less wheat
bread
Our farmers must not fail to pro-
duce all the hay possible, and 1t will
pay to fertiliZe a patch of sorghum
and peas with a fertilizer containing
and IL to per cent nitrogen.
Cotton is not generally recognized
as food crop, but the country must
not overlook the fact that an acre OF
cotton that will produce bale will
yield almost as great a food and feed
planted to corn. Therefore, an in
creased yield in that crop means in
creased food and feed products.
Fertilizers are used for the plant

fertilizer to apply and how much to
use as a side application will depend
on the soil type, the crop planted, and
the kind and amount of fertilizer used
at the time the land was prepared.
On Piedmont soils and clay soils we
would recommend from 200 to 800
pounds of fertilizer for cotton and
corn ,analyzing to 8 per cent phos-
phoric acid and 2 to per cent nitro
gen. For field crops in the coastal
plain, we would recommend from 800
to 400 pounds of fertilizer Analysing
from 4 to z per cent phosphoric acid
and from A to 6 per cent nitrogen.
This fertilizer should be applied to
corn when it is from knee to waist
high and to cotton at the time the
first squares are forming.
For the silt loans in Alabama, Lou
isiana and Mississippi, we would rec
ommend for cotton or corn 100 to 200
pounds of a fertilizer analysing IL per
cent available phosphOric acid and 2h
per cent nitrogen. This is to be APP
piled to the corn when about knee high
and to the cotton when squares begin
forming. Under most favorable con.
ditions a pound Of fertilizer means
three pounds of seed cotton. From
this we can see that $1.00 invested
in fertilizer at this time means from
Sc to So next fall, and a badly needed
commodity is brought into existence

the President in the expectation oil

The President lives in the White
Honse a mansion which was built
and finished in 1900. Fourteen years
afterwards it was burned by the
British owing to the peculiar ideas
of national defense prevailing at
that time. 1t was afterwards re
huilt and painted white. 1t is about
as large as the carriage house of an
English duke.
The White House is a beautiful
structure with classic porticos. 1t
stands on a little hill overlooking a
GREAT lawn about a mile from the
Capital and is maintained for the
use of the government and the Pres
ident's constituents. 1t contains sew
eral vast and useless rooms called
The Red Room" The Blue Room"
and Green Room" through which
the American citizen may rambIe at
will. These rooms are hung with
historic portraits. 1t has also an Of
flee annex built by Theodore Roose-
veltf the famous working President.
In addition it has a few upstairs
chambers into which the President
and his family may burrow, secure
from intrusion. These rooms form
the only privacy of a President.
In the White House the President
lives in sad pomp and uncomfort-
able simplicity, sleeping guests in the
attic and entertaining regiments of

The White House is about the
