ton large and small batteries are
scattered everywhere and floating
monitors constantly are on patrol.
They trip through the defense sys-
tenn of Venice and along the lower
Piave, which the correspondent made
beginning at Venice from which city
speedy naval motor boat ploughed
it's way at sunrise into the confusing
maze of canals.
VIRTUALLY all signs of life were left
behind as the boat worked it's way
into the narrow channels. Even the
customary, animal life of any wilder
ness seemed to be lacking except for
a few ducks.
Suddenly the press boat almost col
lided with a greyish steel bulk. The
vessel bearing a huge gun had sue
cessfully thrown shells to the Piave
river and many times had defeated
the effort of the Austrians to COM
plete a pontoon bridge to the SOU
thern shore.
Steal Away at Night.
In case enemy airplanes were seen
during the day the monitor was pre-
pared to steam away at nightfall to
some other spot where the Austrian
shells would be unable to reach it,
but from which point it could con-
tinue it's work of destruction.
The monitor was only the first of
a series. Other lighter guns and
crafts were lying in reserve ready
at moments notice to slip through
the winding channels to some point
nearer to the enemy. The armament
of the monitors generally decreased
in size as the press boat approached
more closely to the front lines.
Inundated Area.
The artificial waterway runs
almost due east and west from Porto
Grandi to the ocean, while the new
Piave, several miles to the north
flows eastward to the sea. The area
between this water way, composed ot
Sile canal and the old Piave and the
course of the new Piave which nor
, mally is fertile and productive, is
that which has been inundated, anc
as far as the eye can see the trees
houses, and farms are standing il
about four feet of water. Some
peasants, whose homes abut on the
canal, still occupy them, using boat:
to reach the canal bank.
The Austrians have occupied the
Piave. The main body of the troops
however, had been unable to eros
over because of the activity of th'
monitors and stationary batteries
and they are unable to inf1ict an,
serious damage because they are to-
far away from Venice for their Bit

Plant Velvet Beans With
Corn Crop. af

Plant velvet beans in your corn
patch this year. is the advice Of
fered Louisiana corn club boys by
w. K. Perkins, forage crop specia-
list, Extension Division. l.. S. L.
Turn the beans under in the fall,
use the same piece of land for your
club work next year and watch the
improvements in your crops.
'There are several good varie-
ties of velvet beans, but We sug-
gest that you plant the Early
ISpeckIed Today variety They
will make ample growth on the
land you have selected and will
produce a good crop of seed. Plant
from one-third to one-half bushel
of seed per acre. This will give
you a hill of velvet beans every 10
OF, IL inches. Plant them on the
row between the hills of corn at
the first working of the corn unless
the corn is not planted until the
middle of April. Cover the seed
abopt about one inch or one and
one alf inches deep. It. is best
to iHoculate tin sesl, lough. OH
good land wIAe ktabis manure
fhasb been used as a fertilizer inocu.

do not grow fast until mid-sum.
mer, and they will not be in the
way when CORN is. being cultivated
Later III the Season they will wrap
up everything and will interfere
somewhat with gathering the crop
and the selection of seed. This
disadvantage, however, is very
small when compared with the fer.
tilizing value of the crop.
THE mature seed of the velvet
beans should be gathered after
frost and the vines turned under
deep. LII you will plant this piece
of land in corn next year you will
get much better crop and will
have conducted demonstration
that should be worth a great deal
to every man in the community
who sees it.
DO not fail to plant velvet beans
