Between the Somme and Arras the
British are harassing the Germans by
rushing their outposts, and the French
have been successful in similar opera
tions in the region of Rheims, in the
Champagne. The German artillery fire is
especially violent on the sector south of
the Somme and north of Bethune north
west of Arras. To Bethune has come the
fate of so many towns and cities of
northern France, and it is now mass of
ruins as result of the German bonn
bardment.
There is no let-up in the intense aerial
activity. In the fighting in the air, Brit
ish aviators have destroyed 27 German
machines and driven down three others
out of control, as well as burning three
balloons. Bombing squadrons also are

NATIONAL MOVE
FOR PHYSICAL
REGENERATION
Started by National Security
League Through Committee
Headed by Walter Camp.

Impressed by the fact that 20 per
cent. Of the young men called to the
colors in the draft are being rejected
for physical disability, the National Sc
curity League has started a nation
wide movement to promote the phys
zeal welfare OF the youth Of the land
through the organization by communi-
ties OF branches Of q Committee on
Physical Reserve of which Walter
Camp, veteran trainer of athletes, is
chairman. In answer to a letter sent
by the league to the mayors of all the
cities in the country Of over 5000 pop
ulation asking them to appoint com.
mittees to cooperate with Mr.. Camp,
200 committees in 30 states have al
ready been appointed to carry out the
idea. Associated with Mr.. Camp on
the Committee on Physical Reserve
are william G. Anderson, member Of
the Advisory Committee of Yale Uni
versity Gymnasium, and Joseph r.
Raycroft, member Of the War and
Navy Departments Commission on
Training Camp Activities.
GCOUWtntC OtSaSGeTs
In discussing this new effort of the
Security League, S. Stanwood Menken,
president OF the league, said:
1.-THE National Security League has
taken up this work because the coun-
try cannot afford without serious eco
nomic disaster to lose the benefit Of
the service of nearly one-third of the
men who are drafted for military duty
because Of physical unfitness and
whose places must be taken by those
who have dependents. The draft fig
ures show that 20 per cent. of the
men are physically unfit. The work is
necessary, as, with the strain upon
American brain, 1t Is essential that
public attention be focused upon the
need Of paying also due regard to
physical safety. The efficiency Of the
human engine and the ability Of the
man-power of the nation to withstand
attrition, and the extra work that the
men who are doing things have to
bear at present. makes it important
that these men should recognize the
part that physical exercise plays in
their ability to bear their full load of
work.

Furthermore, with the difficulty in
supplying full quota of labor for In.

and feeding only small amount Of
corn. On the average farm there was
1922 acres in grazing crops, including
rye, oats, sweet potatoes, cattail mil
let, early amber sorghum and peanuts.
Rye, oats and rape were planted in
the fall for early spring feeding This
was then followed by the millet and
sorghum. Millet is generally planted
from March Is to April /, and sor.
ghum during April. When the two
are planted in alternate rows better
results are obtained.
Early Dent corn and Spanish pea,
nuts during March and April were de-
pended upon by the farmers as a fat
tening crop and cowpeas were also
used. Chufas were sometimes planted
in April and May for fall and winter
grazing.
Velvet beans we're used in some in
stances and gave good returns. Sweet
potatoes for grazing were planted dur
ing May and June and one acre sup
ported 1877 hogs on the average for
2.3 months. The velvet beans gave
good winter grazing carrying ma
ture hogs per acre for practically 8
months.
On the basis Of the examination of
these farms the following grazing sys-
tenn has been suggested for ten sows,
! one boar and one hundred pigs: tx
acres permanent pasture of Bermuda
or carpet grass; TX acres of rye, oats
and rape followed by 5 acres of sweet
potatoes and 21a acres of peanuts; III
acres of cattail millet and early amber
sorghum; Is acres of early Dent corn
and Spanish peanuts; and so acres
of North Carolina peanuts in corn.

Utilizing Rice Hulis.

Experiments have been made With
rice hulls in combination with differ
ent binding agents, but while the re-
sulting briquets gave every satisfac-
ton from the standpoint Of heating,
yet the initial cost Of the various bind
ing agents made their cost too high
for practical purposes. The expert
ments, however, are being continued,

briquet can be manufactured that will
be satisfactory FROM an economic.
