SELL WHEAT BY SAMPLE
KING HEAD LOWER THE VALUE
THE VALUE OF CORN GROWN LAND

Sell your good dark northern
wheat, which has a little king

This is the advice, which
amounts almost to a warning, of
J. A. McGovern, chief deputy
inspector of the North Dakota
grain grading department, to the
farmers of the state.
Under federal grade, which is
now the one established grade
for all the northwest, the finest
dark northern spring wheat, if it
contains only 2 per cent of king
head, must be graded No. 4 north

1T takes Il very small amount
of kinghead to constitute 2 per

New British Offensive
Answer to Germany's
Peace Maneuvers
Ey the Associated Press.

LONDON. September, 21.-This morn
ing's newspapers herald the new Brit
ish offensive in Flanders as the entente
allied answer to Germany's latest peace
maneuvers. The Chronicle declares that
the allies have nothing more to say and
adds: Wars waged for a great object
cannot be won by words. but only by
strong right arms"
The Graphic asserts: Again the guns
are speaking. Into the midst of what
ever delusions about an early peace are
entertained by the peoples of enemy
empires. comes the British commander
in-chiefs characteristic announcement:
We attacked at $40 this morning on
wide front"
The Daily Mail declares that the an

vide the entente allies by pretending
that Great Britain made the peace pro-
posal and that Germany was ready to
evacuate Belgium. is supplied by Sir
Douglas Haig. The newspaper adds:
Meanwhile. it Is the first duty of the
British government to take far more
energetic measures than 1t has applied
heretofore to curb the treacherous agi-
tation of pacifists, which is the enemy's
last hope"
The Daily News says: Now that there
appears for the first time some pros
pect that Germany may be nerring her
self to say restoration in earnest. the
immediate response is the official warn
ing that there is no fear of the entente
allies being hoodwinked by such sub

GRAND HEADQUARTERS OF THE
FRENCH ARMY in FRANCE, Septem-
Der 21.-Thirty-flve German divisions
have been engaged in the fighting in
Flanders during the course of the six
weeks from July is to August 29. eight
of which are still in the front line.
Nineteen of the German divisions have
been withdrawn and now are under
going reformation in rest camps. the
other eight being assigned to defend
quiet sectors along the fighting front
and elsewhere.
The average duration of the occupa-
ton of front trenches by German diVi-
sions before their Withdrawal is only
eight days. which time the casualties
become so heavy that their retirement
IS compulsory. During similar period
of the Somme battle a year ago thirty
four German divisions were engaged,
twenty-five of which were withdrawn
as consequence of casualties after
twelve days fighting. During the Yer
dun fighting which began on August
20 ten German divisions, including
four reserve divisions, were withdrawn
after fighting from minimum of two
days to maximum of four days.
Eight of these divisions were regarded
as exhausted. SIX new divisions, which
