masses divided by the Somme," Maur-

There is a great state of conges-
ton, which they are trying to reduce

bad for them in the northern area,
thanks to the Third armv's deliberate
retirement and systematic destruc-
ton. For instance, they mined the
Eapaume-Arras road, leaving an enor-
nous crater between two old craters.
I'VE are now continually bombing
the enemy, which accounts for the
enemy bringing up gums.

losses are considerably heavier than
ours.

Morrison county's quota of Liberty
bonds for the third loan is $3.50, 900, a
few thousand larger than the last loan.
As the matter Of bond buying is better
known by people generally, the quota
should be Oversubscribed much easier
than the previous sale.
The cycle Of money invested in Lib
erty bonds is short and complete. The
people lend the money to the govern
ment, the government lends some to our
allies, and our government and our al
lies straightway spend the money, or
the greater portion Of it, among the
people Of the United States. In some
instances the money paid in by wage
earners on one installment of Liberty
bonds is paid by the government to
their employers, and by their employers
paid back to them in the way Of wages
before the next bond installment is
due.
On account of delay in receipt of sup
plies the drive in Morrison county will
not be put on until the week of April
IS to 20, so you will have some extra
time to figure out ways and means to
purchase your share Of bonds.

Improve the Pastures.

The rising cost of grain feed has en-
phasized the need of better pastures for
cattle, Improvement of pastures is the
most ready and economical means of in
creasing animal products without actual
ly increasing the grain feed. 1t is also a
means toward saving labor, for good
pasture is veritable self-feeder.
Heretofore little attention has been
paid to the matter of pastures in this
country. A seemingly inexhaustible area
of pasture did not encourage conservation
and Improvement. We must look to
England for guidance in pasture improve
ment That country faced the condition
of high priced grain years ago, and has
worked on methods of improving pas
lures as a means of feed saving, One
experiment, reported by Director Russell
of the Rothamsted England Experiment
Station, shows how milk production may
be increased without the use of more
grain. A poor pasture was top-dressed
with $50 pounds of fertilizer, and the
milk production per acre per year was in
creased go. 5 gallons at cost OF S2 50 per
acre per year, or 2.8 cents per gallon.
