GERMAN ACTION.

Such a situation marks two things
lone certain and the other prob
Iable. it,.
The certain thing is that the al
lied command, with larger reserves
than the enemy's, having maintained
their defensive with the minimum
number OF men, and therefore with
the minimuns amount Of loss, are
still pursuing the same policy, IS
still leaving the initiative to the en-
envy of its own free will and is still
awaiting his offensive. If he chooses
Ito renew it at his own cost The al
died high command, therefore, evid-
entity believes that the future cost
in men to the enemy is worth the
expense in time to them.
The thing that is probable, as con-
FErasted to this which is certain, is
that the enemy viii renew his Of
fensive on large scale. For this
conclusion, though 1t is only a mat
ter OF opinion, we have the added
| ground that the enemy has always
sacted throughout the war upon a
long conceived plan, carried out In
detail, and up to the very point OF
exhaustion or success. Such q plan

mental beliefs of the German school

and the French school may be dis

FINAL ATTACK
PROVED ABoRTIVE,

II It was thought that this was
the end Of his effort on the Lys, that
judgment was erroneous, for he at
tackled again after an interval OF
nine or ten days, though not in a
determining fashion. He had con-
centrated only six divisions for this
attack, and of these, for some reason
or other, whether his own change
in plan or the increasing weight of
the allied artillery, he launched only
two against the allied line. This in
sufficient effort Of course, came to
nothing.
From that moment onward ne has
Eabstained from any main action.
This is by far the longest period of
comparative quiescence on the en-
femy's part since he obtained his
great success on March % in front
iof st. Quentin. We must not, of
course, regard this period Of quies-
cence as absolute. 1t ts only COM
parative. The lines have been in
activity with partial infantry move
iments in at least half a dozen short
feectors; there has been a regularly
increasing activity by the artillery,
especially on the allied side, through
out the whole time, and on May 10

/ the active sectors at Grivesnes. re-
occupied the park and captured nu-
Tnerous prisoners. But still this
period has been one OF abstinence
from any general offensive on the
fpart of the enemy "

In such a prolonged lul1 in import
ant offensive action as we are now
undergoing on the western front it
is natural that speculation should
turn to the eneniy's next effort.
It win be remembered that on
April 20 the enemy suffered a very
severe check in what might have ap-
peared at the time to be the last of
his battles along the Lys. He had
already captured Mount KENNEL
with the use Of nine divisions against
four on the allied side. This Ger
man victory occurred only four days
previous to his heavier attack on
April 20. It. gave him an tmmedi-
ate advantage, and he very properly
pressed 1t with an extreme intensive
effort. He attacked on April 20 with
portions OF thirteen divisions, and
certainly with the whole Of eleven
divisions, against seven divisions for
the Allies, and he was very heavily
defeated. He was thrown back from
the sharp and dangerous advance he
had made between the British and
French sections; he was pursued to
the line and in some places to more
than a thousand yards behind the
line from which he had started the
attack, and he suffered losses Of ex-
treme severity in proportion to the
determination OF his assault.

HOW TO PLANT DWARF

how TO plant Dwarf Essex for hog

OF 10 tons of barnyard manure is
highly desira BILE for rape is a very
heavy nitrogen feeder and must get
its nitrogen from the soil.
Pillow ground for rape early and
prepare the seed bed as for corn,

cause the rape seed is rather small

NATIONAL FORESTS TO
CARRY MORE LIVESTOCK
TO HELP WIN BIG WAR

To meet the war needs of the
country, sheep and cattle will be
grazed on the national forests in in
creased numbers this year. Half
million more sheep and nearly a
quarter of a million more cattle will
be taken care of than last year, &C
cording 70 the officials Of the forest
service. This will bring the total
number of stock grazed under per-
nit 10 about nine million sheep, p,
80. 900 head of cattle, and $1,000
swine.
This increase is on top of an in
crease of 100000 sheep and 100000
cattle made last year when it was
recognized that the country's need
for beef, mutton, wool. and hides
called for the fullest possible use Of
the national forest ranges. Through
conservative handling of these
ranges for more than 10 years their
productiveness has been steadily
rising. With the country at war.
the secretary of agriculture felt II
was necessary to take some chances
OF over-grazing in the interest of
larger immediate production. The
results Of admitting u larger num-
Der OF live stock We're, however,
carefully watched. The further iE-
creases made this gear are mainly
made possible by finding out how adj
ditional stock can be grazcd without
inquiry TO the ranges. through more
intensive methods of use.
These include rcadjustments IL

cation Of the forage. and the open

STOCK Of GRAIN
FLOUR AND MEAL
Bureau of Markets Issues In
tereSting Report on Sup
ply OF Food StuftS.

Commercial stocks OF wheat re-
ported 20 the United States depart
ment OF agriculture in a good sur
vey dated April 1. 1918, amounted
TO 29,124.278 bushels. according to a
statement just issued by the bureau
OF markets. This amount was held
By S.S76 firms consisting OF eleva-
tors, warehouses. grain mills. and
wholesale grain dealers and was
slightly less than SO percent OF the
stocks held by the same firms on
April /, 1917. The commercial
visible supply figures for the near
est date. as published by the Chicago
board of trade, namely, April 6,
1918. showed only 4.695.000 bushels
as against 47,363,0O0 bushels a year
ago. while Bradstreets reported TO-
10000 bushels on hand March so,
1918. as against 4S,525,000 bushels
for tho same date a year earlier.
II is pointed out that the COM
parative figures thus shown for the
commercial stocks Of wheat this
year and last should be considered
in connection with the stocks still
remaining on the farms. No figures
are available with reference 20 the
estimated stocks on farms for April
l. However. figures previously is
sued by the department show that
the estimated stocks on farms for
March /, 1918, were greater than
for the same date a year earlier, be-
ing 111.650.000 bushels as against
100, $4,000 bushels. At the same
time. the movement of wheat TO the
II primary markets, according to
trade figures. was considerably
greater in March. 1917, than in
March, this year. being 2O.062,000
bushels as against 100000 bu-
shells. These figures indicate, it is
stated. that the stocks of wheat re-
manning on farms April l this year
were greater than those OF a year
ago.
Stocks of Other Cereals.
The survey covered commercial
stocks Of wheat. corn. oats. barley.
and rye, together with -four and
flour su 5stitutes. Data for stocks on
hand April /, 1917, as well as pres
ent stocks, were obtained
The stocks of other cereals re-
ported were, in round figures; corn.
SO million bushels; oats. 46 million;
barley IL million; and rye. four
million. These figures represent the
following percentages of the April
/. 1917, stocks: Corn 104 percent;
oats, 80 percent; barley, 142 per-
cent; and rye, $50 percent. Hence,
while the commercial stocks of
wheat and oats were considerably
less on April l, 1918, than on April
1. 1917. the commercial stocks of
corn, barley and rye were larger.
Wheat Flour and Wheat Flour
Substitutes.
The wheat -four. including a small
quantity of whole wheat and graham
flour. amounted 10 2.31S,S47 barrels,
reported by SASS firms. This
amount was 81 percent of the stocks
held one year ago. The stocks OF
wheat flour substitutes, namely. OF
-four and meal from grains other
than wheat, were all considerably
larger than those of a year ago OF
these wheat -four substitutes, the
stocks of corn -four md meal,
amounting 10 "A total of 30 million
pounds. is by far the most important
item. This amount represents near
~ 200 percent of the commercial
stocks OF corn -four and meal on
