Thus again we como back to tho
army and the Negro as n soldier. But
rs the war progresses it is the Negro
attic front in Franco who seems to
call for notice. Here on the battle
line is his real test rs an American
In tho year 1918. Here he, as we'll
rs othcrraccs not OF tho old American
stock, hopes to be fused into the now
Amcricanism which embraces all.
Hero on this old and Scared soil, the
Negro hopes not only to receive tho
cross from France hnt from America
his own America, as he feels it, tho
even greater prize, American citizen
ship in broader, deeper sense than
ever before.
Testimony must como straight
from the front. And happily it is
possible to reproduce here parts OF
Il letter to Mr.. Emmett Scott from n
commanding officer Of ono OF tho
first Negro regiments to sec active
service In France. Himself a white
man, no speaks for us all with au-
thority.
I have two battalions In tho
trenches. Tho three rotate. Our
boys have had their baptism of fire.
They havo patrolled No Mans Land.
They have gono on raids and ono OF
my lieutenants has been cited for n
decoration. OF course, 1t Is still In
tho experimental stage, but two
questions Of tho gravest Importance
to our Country, and to tho Negro race
have, in my opinion, been answered.
"First: How will American Ne
gro soldiers, including commissioned
officers (of whom / still have five),
get along in service with French SOL
diers and ofiicers--as for instance a
Negro regiment Of Infantry serving
in a French combat division?
Second: VIII tho American Ne
gro stand up under tho terrible she'll
fro Of this war as he has always
stood up under rifle fire and thus
prove his superiority spiritually and
intellectually to all the black men OF
Africa and Asia, who have failed
under these conditions and whose
use must be limited to attack or for
shock troops?
"Wo have answered the first ques-
ton in a most gratifying way. The
French soldiers have not the slightest

my boys are great chums, eat, dance,
sing, march and fight together in
absolute accord. The French officers
have little, IL any feeling about Ne
gro officers. What little, If any, is
not racial but from skepticism that
a colored man Judging of course by
those thoy have KNOWN can have the
technical education necessary to
make an efficient officer. However,
as write these lines Capt. -

500 soldiers, French and mine, all

Boche shells (box car size) went

Nov on the second question, per-
haps I am premature. But both my

When hot weather comes, stomach
and bowel miseries begin. Strong,
sound stomachs as well as weak ones
are easily affected by the harmful
gases and acids so often produced in
the things we eat and drink during
hot weather. WinteS-Nature' ice

the poisonous germs that cause pto-
maine poison in all its many forms.
Every one knows that the after-eat-

other forms of indigestion and dys-

hot weather. IL is the time when you
have to guard constantly against an

from one of his predecessors on the

per acre to insure crop while tho
Notwithstanding bacteria are develop
ing in the soil.
Some notwithstanding bacteria arc
usually carried with seed that is not
artificially inoculated, owing to the
fact that in the process of harvesting
and thrashng the seed becomes more
or less coated with soil dust, and farm
ers say that where soy beans are
planted without either inoculating or
fertilizing with eottonseed meal the
Yields increase from year to year. I'M
til three crops of beans have been
grown on the land This is evidently
due both to the improvement In the
incubation and to the increase in fer
filthy of the soil, but largely to the in
oculation. The bacteria carried with
the seed or the limited number already
in the soil multiply from year to year
until the supply is sufficient.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agricultural
Thousands OF young men have been
called to the colors, and on many farms
this results in Il scarcity of labor. The
problem OF the hay grower is how TO
handle his crop with u smaller crew
than hitherto, and one often mostly
of midde-aged men and boys. with
methods used heretofore this type or
labor certainly cannot harvest the hay
in the usual time, ut least on many
farms in the East and South, where It
has been the custom to use q compara-
lively large amount of hand labor In
making hay.
Solution of Problem.
Although there is scarcity of man
labor, there are still plenty of horses
on most farms. and herein lies the So

HAD NOT FULLY UNDERSTOOD
But Officer Realized That Henceforth
Young Austrian In His Command
Was an American.

The Second Indiana artillery is re-
sponsible for this story: In one of its
companies there is young Austrian,
who loves America with greater In
tensity than he hates the despotism
"back home" He was one Of the first
men from his home town to enlist In
that regiment.
A superior officer had come to In
spect the company. He gave direc-
lions as to the way he was to be sa-
luted, etc. "Now, we'll try you out
and see If you've got all my direc-
tions," he ended. "We'll begin by CALI
ing the roll.
"As your names are called advance
two steps, salute your superior off,
Ger and answer Here"
The clerk took up the list of names
and began calling. And 10, the Aus
TRANS name, like "Abou Ben Adj
hem's," led all the rest. For a few
minutes the young fellow stood hesi-
tating, because he had not understood
much of what the officer had said.
Encouragingly the officer started to
raise his hand. A broad smile of re-
lief spread over the Austrian's face.
A few rapid steps-he was across the
room, seized his superior officers hand
and gave it a hearty American shake.
Amid roars of laughter the officer
ruefully examined his crushed fingers.
"He's an American now, all right" he
said sagely.

tuition Of the problem. On farms where
considerable hay is grown methods
must be adopted by which the greater
part of the heavy labor is done by
horses. This will necessitate the gen.
eral use of certain types of labor-sav-
ing machinery, some of them not so
common In the East, which have been
thoroughly tested and proved satisfac-
tory In the western part of the United
States. The small hay grower, how
ever. need not make very heavy In
vestment in new haying apparatus, for
by re-arranglng the work of his crew
and using a little more horse labor for
the hard work, he can add consider
ably to the efficiency of his crew.
Use Larger Movers.
The 5-foot cut Is the most common
size used in the East. With the pres
ent scarcity of labor, It will be econ
omy to use larger mowers; 8, z, and
even 8-foot sizes can be used on a
great many farms. Some idea of the
time saved by using these larger sizes
NAV be had when the difference in the
amount of work done by each is known.
Under average conditions, 5-foot
mower will cut ten acres in ten hours,
n 6-foot mower will cut II acres, z
foot IA acres. and an 8-foot about 10
acres In ten hours.
