July, 1870, the French government de-
ciared war against Prussia, because OF
some diplomatic difficulties, too long Tor
this article.
The German forces numbered over a
million men. General Won Moltke was
the military leader On August the
French were defeated at WelsonDerg, the
first battle of the war. Later the FrencR
retreated to the fortress of Metz. me
battle of Gruvelotte was fought on the
18th. On September the decisive pat
tie of the war was fought ana the
French surrendered. with S4;0OO men:
fifty generals and ZOO other officers and
all the army supplies. By the middle OF
September the Germans were IN front
OF Paris. and the city completely sur
rounded by Prussian troops: Bazanle,
shut up in Metz, also surrendered WIN
three marshals, 10000 troops and 5000
officers. Defeat after defeat tolIoWec-
Eugenia escaped to England. Paris caplh-
ulated on January 29, 1871.
The war cost France very heavily.
She lost Alsace and Lorraine and PAID
Germany an indemnity OF 5,Ooo;ooV,UT1o
francs. Counting five francs 20 the doI-
lar, that was $1,000, 5000 in our money.
The final treaty of peace was signed on
May 10.
1t is our impression that Germany
expected to walk over another such
victory in 1914. but four years OF war
fare have passed and Germany Ray be
glad to return $1,000 600 600 to lance
for injuries inflicted. Belgium must be-
restored and Alsace and Lorraine must
go back TO their real owners. When Gen
eral Won Hindenburg was approaching
Paris the inhabitants made up their
minds to. die in the trenches rather than!
endure another such an experience as
they had in 1901. The valor OF the
French armies is well matched with the
fortuude of French women. But these
four long, bloody years have been try
ing to soul and body. They have watched
and waited. they have struggled ana
suffered they have hoped, almost
against hope. until the Americans went
over to assist.
What an awful time have they en-
dured with the bloodshed and many
losses since 1914?

Food value of Corn shucks


c. s., Atlanta, Ga, writes: Grain ele-
vators in the southwestern part of the state
have on hand considerable quantities OF
baled corn shucks. l understand that these
shueks have some value roughage for
cattle feed, and / would appreciate any in
formation you can give me bearing on the
value Of this roughage.
Corn husks contain 6 per cent Of di-
gestible protein, 47.3 per cent carbohy-
drates and 8 per cent of fat: Each
hundred pounds of this material con-
tains 4S.6 per cent of digestible nutri-
ents. The nutritive ratio is ! as to 80.
This material also contains a consid-
cradle amount OF fertillzing constitu-
ents. A ton of ii, for instance, con-
tains 90 pounds of nitrogen, as pounds
phosphoric acid and 20.4 pounds of pot
ash. The shucks, If course, contain
leaves. They are also lower in fat.
They are not so valuable for feeding
purposes as corn slower or corn tops.
They constitute, however, a fair rough
age. They contain, for Instance, more
digestible nutrients per hundred pounds
than cottonseed hulls. Under these cir
cumstances, they could he fed in their
natural condition or after running
through a cutting box to all classes OF
cattle, including work stock, with very
good advantage. They are less desir-
able for work stock than for cattle be-
cause of the considerable percentage of
dust they are likely to contain. Fed
along with a reasonable ration of cot
tonseed meal, velvet bean meal, or pea
nut meal a very good balanced ration
for dairy cows and beef cattle could
be obtained. Farmers, of course, often
use them as a part of the roughage ra-
ton for their work stock with both sue
cess and advantage. I would feel that
these baled corn shuckS should have a
feeding and market value approximate
ly or slightly surpa ssing that of hulls.
On the present basis of calculating the
selling price of hulls they would thei e.
fore be worth around $50 per ton or
somewhat better

DATA ABOUT THE PRICE OF COT
TON SEED

JR J. Ashburn, Ga. writes: When cot
mills should the price be SOS or $nf we
get Sos here at Ashburn.
The nrice of all reasonably SOUND COT
ton seed, as established by the 1000 ao7
miuistration, irrespective OF the actuaI
outturn Weld, is 81 ton carload loIS
and SOS wagon lots (. o. b. any railway
station in the state OF Georgia, the zone
of origin of all cotton seed determining
the price. The state of Georgia shal'
constitute one zone.
The price of seed at landings on nayi-
gable rivers in which boats are actuallE
operating is the same as the [a ii ~ -
basis price for bulk seed, to which mss.
he added the current market value OF
the bags in which such river SEED are
packed. This cost of bags is ADDED oIIy
when bags are furnished by party SER
ing the seed.
No deduction from the price is per
mitted except for proven damaged OF
unsound seed. Proof of such damage
or unsound quality must be furnished
the state food administrator. No de-
auctions are allowed for dirt or trash
unless accompanied by sworn certlncaIe
Cor actual written agreement with the
seller) showing actual weight of such
dirt or trash taken from each carload
or wagonload and the name of the GIN
ner or dealer selling such seed.
To conserve the use of freight cars
cotton seed may be hauled from rail-
road stations to mill points and the sell
err may receive as compensation Tor Such
hauling an amount equal TO the Tall-
road freight for the same distance. Ihls
cost of hauling to be treated by the pur-
chaser as freight on seed.
Seed from any point may be sold at
the carload prices, in quantities or ~
tons or more, delivery by wagon within
In handling this crop it is expected
that there will be a cooperative spirit
on the part of all interests to the end
that waste may be eliminated and con-
Starvation in every way promoted.
