 Wounded Get Great Welcome.
 The wounded soldier getting back to England doesn't have a chance to i'm agine that his services are not appre- ciated. The welcome he receives be- gins at the railroad station. All traf- fic is stopped by the bobbies to give the ambulances clear way leaving the station. The people stand in crowds, the men with their hats off, while the ambulances pass. Women rush out and throw flowers to the wounded men. Sometimes there is cheer, but usually only silence and words of sympathy.

 My wounds had become septic, and it was necessary to give all attention to drainage and cure. It was about this time that everything for awhile seem ed to become hay and my memories got all queerly mixed up and confused. I recollect I conceived a violent dis like for a black dog that appeared from nowhere now and then and be- gan chewing at my legs and believe I gave the nurse a severe talking to because she insisted on going to look on at the ball game when she ought to be sitting by to chase that dog away. And I was perfectly certain about her being at the ball game, because 1 saw her there when I was playing third base.

The Alarming Cablegram.

It was Ut lulS llLle (Ou ANON. 70, 1oIO, ten days after I had been wounded) that my father in Lexington received the following cablegram from the off, cer in charge of the Canadian records in England:
 Sincerely regret to inform you that Ser geant Alexander McClintock Is officially reported dangerously Ill in No. 5 general hospital from gunshot wound in left thigh. Further particulars supplied when re- celved.
 It appears that during the time of my adventures with the black dog and the inattentive nurse my temperature had ascended to the stage when the doctors began to admit another method of treatment might have been success ful. But I didn't pass out. The one thing I most regret about my close call is that my parents in Lexington were in unrelieved suspense about my con dition until myself sent them cable from London on Dec. 15. After the first official message, seemingly pre- pared almost as a preface to the an- nouncement of my demise, my father received no news of me whatever And, as didn't know that the o~:c.1l message had gone, I cabled nothing to him until was feeling fairly chipper again. You can't have wars, though, without these little misunderstanding
 If it were possible should say some thing here which would be fitting and adequate about the Englishwomen who nursed the 2,5O0 wounded men in general hospital No. at Rouen, but that power isn't given me. All I can do is to fall back upon our most pro- found American expression of respect and say that my hat is off to them One nurse in the ward in which lay had been OH her feet for f1fty-six hours, with hardly time even to eat. She finally fainted from exhaustion, was carried out of the ward and was back again in four hours, assisting at an operation. And the doctors were do- ing their bit, too, in living up to the obligations which they considered to be theirs. An operating room was in every ward, with five tables in each. After the fight on the Somme, in which was wounded, not a table was va IduL d1ly uOuI HI lilG LWGllly-l0uT tOT days at time. Outside of each room was long line of stretchers contain ing patients next awaiting surgical at- tention: And in all that stress did not hear one word of complaint from the surgeons who stood hour after hour, using their skill and training for the petty pay of English army medical officers.
 On Dec. I was told I was well enough to be sent to England, and on the next day I went on a hospital train from Rouen to Hayre. Here I was placed on a hospital ship which every medical officer in our army ought to have chance to inspect. Nothing in- genuity could contrive for convenience and comfort was missing. Patients were sent below decks i'll elevators and then placed in swinging cradles which hung level no matter what the ships motion might. be.

Right here would like to tell lit tie story about hospital train leaving Contay for Rouen-not the one we were on, but one which had left few days before.

shaken up. We were beginning also to realize we were by no means out of the woods surgically. Our wounds had merely been dressed. Each of us faced an extensive and serious operation. We arrived at Contay silent and pretty badly depressed. For twenty-four hours in the Contay casualty clearing station they did little except feed us and take our temperatures hourly Then we were put into hospital train for Rouen.

ghums will not fully mature II frost

Sorghum seed, if not thoroughly
ripe and dry, is easily injured in vi
tality if subjected to freezing wealth
er. The only way to insure a supply
of seed of strong vitality for next
seasons planting is to select it in the
field before there is danger Of frost.
Fully matured heads should be selec-
ted if they are available, but heads
that are not yet quite ripe-in
"dough">ar "hard dough" stages
will make good seed if pr operly cared
for until they are thoroughly dry.
1t would be better to save slightly
immature heads for seed rather than
take chances on having the vitality of

early freeze. Very little time-per-
haps half a days required to
select sufficient number of heads
to furnish seed for planting next sea-
son.
In selecting grain sorghums-ka-
fir, milo, and feterita-choose heads
that are true to type and well filled,
with large, uniform seeds, is Mr..
Cunningham's suggestion. The
heads should be web out of the boot,
or top leaf sheaf. If the leaf partly
surrounds the lower part of the head,
it affords place for insects to hide
and for molds and other plant life to
develop. Plants of this type are I'M
desirable.
The plant should be given some
consideration. Choose heads from

strong, sturdy, upright stalks of a
uniform height that carry an album
dance of leaves. Heads should al
ways be taken from plants growing
where the stand is right or possibly a
little thicker than normal. Good
heads produced under these condi-
tons will likely make better proddc-
ing seed than those from large heads
developed where the stand is thin.
. In selecting seeds for forage sor-
ghums- saccharine sorghums or Su-
dan grass-stalk and leaf characters
should be the bases of selection. Seed
should be secured from stalks that
stand up we'll and have a maximum
number of broad, heavy leaves. Sue
kering in forage sorghums is desir-
able.
