Omitted Press Staff Correspondent.
WITH THE FRENCH ARMIES,
May s.--The service OF agriculture
is now one of the regular branches
OF the French army.
1t is just as much an integral part
OF the French military machine as a
whole as the infantry, the cavalry
the artillery, the engineers or the
aviation,
Military agriculture is one of the
latest developments Of modern war
fare along with such things as gas
masks. the rehearsing Of battles be-
fore they arc fought aud aerial torpe-
does While the present European
conflict has demonstrated that war
must ever be destructive, and posi-
bly, more destructive than ever be-
fore, yet the constructive, oonserva-
tive basis on which the French seek
TO conduct it has developed numer-
repairing the destructiyeness.
In general way the object OF this
service of agriculture Is to keep the
farming in the entire war zone and
especially in the immediate vicinity
OF the front lines UP TO It's normal
aud maximum productiyeness. 1t is
now as much the duty OF every sol
dier in the French army 10 help in
these agricultural labors. as It is to
fight, while the army as whole
contributes not only the farm labor
er but also the horses and even part
of the implements necessary.
The agricultural work to be done
in the war zone divides itself into
three general classes First OF all
the extending of enough help 10 the
| farmers still living in the zone To
enable them to plant and harvest
their crops. Secondly. nearer the
front where the civil population has
been obliged TO fIeu entirely aud
where the farms are completely
abandoned, the army must take owe,
all this ground and cultivate il Itself
in precisely the same manner a,
though the farmers themselves Werf
still there. Thirdly, as fast as Frepel
soil is won back from the Germanl

In the meantime the perfect Of
each department in the war zone is
required to make out list of all
agricultural work that needs to be
done. together with the degree Of
urgency and place it at the DISPOSE
ton of the military officer in
charge Of each sector, The perfect
must also provide the tools and the
grain and seed for sowing.
Entirely regardless Of whether
the troops stationed in a given Sec
tor are there for repose or whether
they are there for fighting. they
must perform the agricultural labor
that Is waiting to be done. Like
wise when troops are on the march
If they stop in any sector, even for
only two or three days they must
participate in farm labor under way
When the troops move on they
leave a report with the permanent
military AGRICULTURAL officer in
charge showing just what they have
done so that when the next troops
come along they can take up the
work where the others left off.
One and only one iron-clad rule
has been adopted by the military
,u I9,-
no circumstances whatever must a
military troop, whatever its size may
be, passing through sector where
there is agricultural work TO be
done, leave that sector without the
work being further advanced than
when II came in.
The army must furnish horses,
either from the cavalry, the artil-
lery or the supply trains whenever
horses are needed The mechanics
attached TO the army are also re-
CURED to assist the farmers in the
shoeing Of their horses and in the
