GROW LATE CROPS FOR FEED

Feed Obtaincs by growing late
crops can BE- used adyantageously this
fall 10 supplement a shortened ration
oi high priced corn, Several kinds Of
crops can be planted during July In
time To make good yields before frost,
The department Of farm crops OF the
University of Missouri College Df
Agriculture mentions II few that may
be grown. 4 choice of these crops
would depend On the purpose for
which the crop WAS needed.
II grain II wanted, one OF the very
earliest maturing varieties Of corn
will. under favorable conditions. make
crop II planted by July 10, OF
course the yield will be light and the
grain Of lower quality than early
planted corn. but the point TO con-
slider Is that the late crop will pro-
vide q certain lot Of grain that other
wise would not be produced. The
grain sorghums-kafir. milo, and
feterita--can also be grown TO good
advantage II planted In the early part
Of the month. When the grain sor'
ehums are planted late. feterita will
, ripen earlier than either milo or kafi
| and 1t can therefore be planted later
II planting Is to be made early In
July, kafir would be the choice as II Is
useful for cured forage and ensilagt
as well as for grain. while milo and
/ feterita are chiefly useful only fol
grain. Grain yields from the sorghums
will be lighter from the late planting
than from May or June paintings. bu
considerable yields may still be pro
duced.
II a late crop Of forage Is wanted
kafir or one Of the sweet sorghums-
amber, orange or sumac-could b
used. Millet, Sundan grass, cowpeas
or a mixture Of cowpeas and Sudan
would also be successful. Mile
planted in July or the early part o
August would succeed as well as wheI
planted earlier. and the other crop
would at least make a good growth o
forage. Amber Il the earliest Of tn
sweet sorghums, Common the earlles
OF the millets. and New Era tn

u. S. TROOPS FIGHT IN
FIRST Line TRENCHES
GERMAN GUN POSITIONS AND
TROOPS SHELLED BY THE
AMERICAN SOLDIERS.

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY
IN FRANCE, Oct. 27.-American
troops are in the first line trenches
on the French front. The artillery
fired the first shot of the war at 6
O'Clock on the morning of a recent
day at a German working party.
There has been intermittent artillery
fighting since.
In Rain and Mud.
The helmeted infantry marched in
without the knowledge of the enemy
on the same night, through rain and
mud. The French soldiers in the
trenches welcomed them enthusiastic
cally.
The nearest enemy trench is sew
eral hundred yards away. The sector
is one of the quietest on the front.
1t has not been taken over, being
under the control Of troops under the
direction of the French. The Ameri-
cans have shelled German gun posi-
tions and troops, the enemy sending
back shell for shell.
The French shelled German bat
terry position, which was located by
sound, and the enemy replied vigor-
ously, projectiles falling close to the
Americans who joined in the artillery
duel.
All the troops will be relieved after
a certain period by others. Thus the
American expeditionary forces are
getting the benefit of actual war con-
ditions.

Quoted by the Rev. Paul RAIDER, him
self an athlete in his college DAYS on
the Pacific coast.
> More than 5000 persons from all
walks of life attended the services
and filed by the bier at the close of
the services. A large proportion of
those in attendance on the services
made up the cortege which followed
the tiower-laden casket to Graceland
cemetery.
This man fought many battles, ;"
Mr.. RAIDER said, "and tasted the
sweets of victory more often than he
did the acid of defeat. But he never
fought a greater fight than the one
with himself which led to denuncia-
ton of the old for the new man.
ut took courage to face the con-
temptuous laugh, the sheer, the
doubt cast on his sincerity when the
big athlete submitted to baptism by
the little Baptist clergyman at Los
Angeles. His baptism was symbol
of the casting off Of the old man for
the new. All the world despises a
gutter; all the world admires hero.

had fought his ring battles-with in
