fully cognizant that the enemy supreme effort would
retreat until measures could be taken to check

AS always the attackers possessed the advantage
of knowing exactly where they would launch their on
slaught, while the defenders were compelled to await
developments before meeting the onrush with counter
measures There is every sign in todays situation that
the terrific attack in which apparently million Ger

Orono. Me, April 2.-The following re-
suits of experiments at the Aroostook
and Highmoor farms has been made
public by Charles d. Woods, director OF
the agricultural experiment station:
Owing to the shortage of potash
caused by the war it is very important
to have as much information as possible
regarding the value of this element for
various crops. In 1915 the Maine Agri-
cultural Experiment Station began 4
series of experiments at Aroostook
Farm with the object of determining the
value of potash for potatoes. In gen.
eral these results have shown that there
is sufficient available potash in ARGOS

of potatoes. Nevertheless the addition
of relatively small amounts of potash
has resulted in 4 marked increase in

there are poachers who make bus
