No great advance was expected in this zone however, os the line had already beer pushed forward practically to the old positions.
 Last night German airplanes were busy bombing the St. Quentin sector and the enemy utilized a number O. new type planes of huge size. Thre. of these were shot down east o1 Peronne. They were capable of seat ing eight men. The most astoundine thing about them, however, was thod they carried bombs 13 feet long whicl contained 2000 pounds of explosives This is by far the biggest bomb the Germans have yet produced.

by the National Federation of Imple-

Federal Board of Farm Organizations,
the Agricultural Publishers Associa-
ton, numerous State colleges Of Agri-
culture and farmers organizations,
farm agents, State Councils OF ne-
fense, and manufacturers and dealers.
During this week an effort will be
made to have every farmer in the
nation inspect his machinery and i'm
mediately place his ofders for repairs
or extra parts. Unprecedented scafcity
Of malleable and steel parts, freight
congestion which mOght bring about
embarrassing delays, and an opportun-
ity to save express and postal charges
are being urged as reasons for early
order to be put in through dealers.
The farmers are being urged to act
promptly as an act of loyalty in the
effort for a maximum fooa production
