COL. LEADER SAYS
ALLIES WILL WIN
VETERAN, WOUNDED AT THE
MARINE, PREDICTS FOCH is
ABOUT TO STRIKE

Colonel John Leader, who fought
through the early stages of the great
war, being wounded at The Marne and
invalid home, is military instructor
in the University of Oregon, at Eu-
gene. Colonel Leader knows every
foot of the ground over which the
great battle is raging and he has been
making predictions of what would
happen there, since before the Ger
man drive began on March 21, and
allied The following predictions and
review by him are of special interest
at this time. A despatch from Eu-
gene says:
EUGENE, Ore.-Reviewing the pres
ent war situation, Colonel John Lead
er, head of the military department of
said:
at is my view that the Germans
are preparing now for a final big
assault They are pretty nearly at the
end of their resources, I believe, but
are almost surely getting ready for
great plunge, probably down the val
ley toward Hazebrouck-or, roughly
speaking, between Passchendaele and
Messines l believe they will push on
there for another four or five miles.
They will most surely be stopped.
Then the allied army of maneuver
will strike. This will be probably at
the end of this week, although, l re-
alfze, that l am making more or less
of a wild guess, being so far from the
scene.
"The German line of communica-
ton is getting into frightful condition.
The troops are undoubtedly in bad
state, very tired and much weakened.
'"The bringing in of the Italians is
a most hopeful sign. Not that they
are specially needed. But there are
British and French troops on the
Italian front. 1t would have been
simple matter to have brought them
back. But instead, the Italians are
being taken to the west front. The
fact that Foch is bringing over the
italians indicates to me that he be-
Iieves he is about to put over some
thing great, and he wants all the al
lies to have a hand in it. These are
rash prophecies, perhaps; but l am

way it looks to me-"

 Purchasing of forage supplies is much more complicated than in any other army branch. For example, when a supply of frozen beef is need ed, it is only necessary to see five or six firms, because these firms are prac tically the only one from which the beef can be obtained. Consequently the purchase is quickly affected.
 Tn the forage branch, however, we are faced with much more perplex- ing problem. Our purchases must be made direct from dealers, and there are thousands of them. We pick up a carload of hay here, another some where else. This not only necessitatcs q lar ce " .Ime of correspondence hut compliaates our work.

AMSTERDAM, April 4. - A Dutch newspaper prints the story of Ger man U-boat which was caught in a British trap and lowed into British port. The story comes from member of the U-boat's crew who escaped from England and is inCerned in Ho'- land.
 We had sighted some English fish ing boats off the English coast and were maneuvering for attack, when their curious movements led us to suspect trap, so we dived. We pro. ceeded slowly, but presently the screws began to peat irregularly, and the commander could not make out what had happened.
 After about two hours the water seemed culiously still, and the com mander decided to come to the sur face. When we emerged we were alongside a quay where stood a num- Der of smiling British sailors. We were in British port, lowed in like a dead fish,"

BRING IN MUCH CORN
State Buys 10000 Bushels to Help
Relieve Seed Corn Shortage
in Michigan.

East Lansing, Mich.-Michigan's
shortage of 100000 bushels of seed
corn-a shortage found to exist by
field men of the college in almost
every part of the state-is being par
tally relieved by the importation of
10000 bushels from New York, Penn
sylvania, New Jersey and South Da-
kota. The purchase of this corn,
which has been inspected and tested
and bought under a guarantee, was ar
ranged by the governors seed corn
committee, and ii will be disposed of
at cost ($5 busheD.
Now that much Of the corn has ar
rived the problem of how best to dis
tribute il is one that is bothering the
committee, for the likelihood is that
the supply will be unequal TO the de-
mand. AS far as possible, however, the
corn will be shipped into counties
where the shortage is most severe, and
will be distributed there TO farmers on
the basis of acreage, adaptability and
need.
Farmers who have been unable to
secure seed corn are urged to get in
touch with county agricultural agents
in their district TO learn where a sup
ply of this corn can be obtained.

SHORTAGE OF SEED COMING
AdvIces Received by M. A. C. Indicate
Gardeners Should Prepare to Be-
come Own Seed Growers.

East Lansing, Mich.-Where posi-
BILE this season Michigan gardeners
should prepare to grow enough seed
for their 1919 paintings. This is the
word being given out by NJ. A. G. on
the strength of current reports that
the practical failure of the California
vegetable seed crop this spring prom
Uses to cause a shortage a year hence.
If the best types of beets, carrots,
parsnips and turnips, such as have
wintered well and have uninjWed
crowns, are set out in the early spring,
even a single plant will produce seed
for half dozen war gardens.
When pulling the first radish crop
in June transplant a few of the best
roots for seed production. A couple
of the best type plants of lettuce, spin
ach, peas, beans and the like should
be left standing for seed production.
The commercial aspect of vegetable
seed production is taken up In bull
letin about to be distributed by the
horticultural department of the Mich
igan Agricultural college.

Sow Turnlps With Glover.

1.-THE practice of sowing cow-horn
turnip seed with clover when the clO-
yer is seeded in the spring grains is a
good one on dairy farm" the depart
ment of dairy husbandry of NJ. A. G.
declares. THE method is one that
has been followed with very gratifying
returns by many farmers in Michigan.
About one-fourth to one-third pound
of cow-horn turnip seed is mixed with
the amount of clover seed to be sown
per acre. The turnips grow slowly
among the clover plants until the
grain crop is harvested, when they
come on quickly. Inasmuch as the
cow-horn is long slender root, Ii
thrives between the clover plants with
out injuring them in the least. Yields
of from five TO ten tons or more per
acre have been reported. They may
be harvested before the ground
freezes and stored In a cool, moist
cellar to provide a palatable, succu-
lent feed for the cattle during the
winter"
The Yale expositor. (Yale, St. Clair County, Mich.) 1894-current, 1918-03-28

portiOned ration is also necessary for
maximum production. An underfed
soldier makes a poor fighting man
an underfed dairy cow poor produc-
er. 1t may be necessary for the dairy
man TO feed rations composed quite
largely of good roughage, supplement-
ed by reasonable amounts of by-prod-
uct feeds, in the future, consequently
every dairyman should plan to produce
good supply Of these rough feeds for
the coming winter.
The Michigan farmer should not
permit himself to be tempted into
changing his system of farming too
radically. To maintain the fertility of
his soil, to conserve the proper bal
ance in labor, TO insure against an
overproduction of perishable products
and TO make good use of the rough
feed which must of necessity be pro-
duced on every farm, II continues TO
be better and much safer to follow
the old program on every farm where
this program has been found TO be
practical and successful, and to work
this old program just little harder,
rather than TO take up new one.
The old slogan, Breed, Feed and
Test" have never been more appropri-
ate than under present conditions.
