are some extracts therefrom:
"On very still and clear night we
can hear the roar of the big guns and
also see the flares sent up in the air.
altho we are quite a distance away
from the lines, where the real action
is taking place, but some of these DAYS

which may be a good bit at that
Il do not believe it is going to last
much longer. The prospects look
favorable for a speedy end now, as
everything looks in our favor which I
suppose you can see by the reports that
come from here. I think they are
ready to surrender and make peace

INCREASE RYE ACREAGE

The Farm Bureau Of Marshall coun-
ty is considering the problem of an in
creased acreage Of winter rye The at
tention Of the bureau has been called
by the extension division of the de-
partment Of agriculture, University Of
of winter rye were grown in this coun-
ty in 1917-1S, and that probably a con-
siderably larger acreage can be grown
with profit.
Two reasons are urged for this pro-
gram:
That on soils not well adapted to
wheat, fine yields Of rye may often be
obtained. Soil that will not produce
wheat will often produce excellent rye
and pound for pound rye is nearly as
valuable for bread as is wheat.
That with farmers whose principal
crop is small grain, an increase in the
winter rye acreage helps toward bet
ter distribution of labor throughout
the season. IL.
Land may be prepared for rye by
disking where early potatoes have been
harvested or corn has been put into the
silo early in September. Or land may
be used that has been plowed following
a crop of small grain. Seeding should
be done early in September. Farmers
are urged to confer with their county
agents.

THRESHING MACHINES

though the scarcity of labor has inter-

last week not much threshing was done
until Monday of this week. Yields as
whole appear to run larger than had
been estimated and the quality of the
grain is good.
