London Nov. 1.-(By The Assc-
the italian and Austro- Hungarian
military commanders for an ar2lia-
tioe are proceeding, according ad add
Viessvices received in London this
afternoon. Fighting may already
have come TO an end. -
Austrias armies, shattered by the
blows of the Italians, British and
French, are fleeing peII NELL On q
front OF more than 100 miles from
the Brenta river east and south "a
the Adriatic. Apparently the enc
my has lost all power Of resistance
on this important sector Of the front.
Countless numbers @of prisoners are
being taken.
East OF the PiRve all the allied ar
mics are marching rapidly toward
the Tagliamento in pursuit of the
Austrians. The Idvenza river is
miles east of the Piave and Is
miles from the Tagliamento has been
reached and crossed while to the
south along the lowlands north OF
the Adriatic the Italian third army
continues to move ahead.
The formidable enemy defense
bastion around Monte Grappa has
been broken by the allies and the
Austrians are retiring hurrtedly
from the region between the .Bren-
Ia and the Piaye. Northeast OF
Monte Grappa the Italians have
forced their way through the Quaro
gorge and are moving up the Piage
valley toward Belluno further en-
largtng the wedge between the Aug@
trian armies in Venetia and thoss
in the mountains.
Austro- Hungary's internal situa
ton is as bad. If not worse than
that of the armies on the Italian
front.
There have been no further Te-
ports on the progress Of the plea OF
the Austrian command for an arTnis-
tice. Details of the armistice terms
given Turkey are still .undisclosed
in large part.

On American Front

Sn NHSFBGAN FFohS
With the American Army North
west Of Verdun, Nov. I. 9:20 a. M
Greatly increased artillery fire by
the American heavy and light bat
teries began this morning all along
the front Of the American first ar
my.
Nothing attests more completely
the bitterness with which the Ger
mans have opposed the American
advance everywhere in; France than
the completeness with which the ter
rain over which the two armies
have fought, has been destroyed,
desolated, cluFned by shells, mutt
lated beyond any immediate hope of
restoration. VI,
This was true even in portions of
the st. Mihiel salient for notwith-
standing that the Germans fairly
ran to their famous Hindenburg line
they did not hold along the western
edge Of the sector and by the time
the Americans had been able to take
it, great mines had torn the roads
and fields asunder, the roads had
been wrecked almost beyond repair
by Intentional enemy agencies as
well as by American artillery. What
is left Of the buildings ana dugouts
once inhabited by the C4ermang had
been blown and smashed and crush
ed to a tangled mass OF wreckage.
1t is in the centerssof the line be-
tween the +Meuse river and the Ar
gonne forest, however, where the
lighting has been bitterest, that the
destruction is most nearly complete
where every handiwork OF God and
man has been desecrated. as one
could not believe without seeing it.
Flanders may be worse as the Eng
lish claim. but 1t is doubtful because
there was not as much there to de-
stroy, to blast and to wither.
The only comparison perhaps. is
in the fertile Champagne where
more than four years of attacks and
counter attacks. bombardments and
counter bombardments have rSduc
ed every dwelling to series OF era
terS and have bitten off every forest
and clump of trees to forIoru
stumps minus branches or leaves.

Washington, Nov. 1.-Americans
drove the Germans out Of the village
Of Brieulles on the west bank oa>tie
Meuse in yesterdays fighting north
of Verdun. General Pershing in an
evening communique for Thursday

.illery firing was lively on the whole

VIII Disease of Cotton


The disease known as cotton wilt or
black-root is quite common throughout
the cotton belt and i'm certain sections
causes heavy losses each year. This Is
due 70 the need OF fuller understand
ing of this disease and the methods OF
controlling its ravages. While IL at
tacks the cotton crop throughout entire
belt. its greatest ravages are met with
in South Carolina the southwestern
section Of Georgia and the eastern part
of Alabama Its chief damage is done
IN what is known as the coastal plain
region OF the states in question or
course. IL occurs north OF the Fall line,
but its appearance there seems TO be
more or less sporadic and not sustained
from year to year as in the sander
soils of the coastal plain region The
nature and extent OF the damage done
by this pest is probably not fully ap-
preciated- or greater efforts would he
made to combat q and bring II under
control It is estimated that in an aV-
craze year this disease causes a loss
equivalent to thirty-five million dollars
This is 4 tremendous strain upon the re-
sources OF the farmers OF the cotton
belt and as indicated il falls chiefly on
those Of the three states mentioned
though Louisiana is also a sufferer.
II is not difficult TO recognize the
wilt disease. because the leaves OF the
plant wilt and fall without any ap-
nareut reason. In the case of a freshly
vilted plant the interior Of the stem or
root is found TO be. brown or black
therefore cutting open the plant which
has been more or less defOliated viii

comes we'll enough established if seed
ed after that date to withstand the one
or more unusually severe freezes we
have each winter
Before planting the alfalfa YOU sbouId
first apply 500 to 1000 pounds of a r,iv-
lures of equal parts of cottonseed meal
and acid phosphate. Harrow it into
the soil a few days before sowing the
seed. Secure the best quality of seed
possible and SOW at the rate of On

for the purpose. Sow in opposite di
rections and cover with a weeder Sc
lect dark day, or SOW rather late in
the afternoon. Inoculate the seed care
fully before using with a bacterial Gull
ture as manufactured by various COM
mercial concerns, or you can probably
obtain what you need of it from the
bureau of plant industry, Washington.
D. c. They frequently send out small
lots for experimental purposes. You
should plant alfalfa on a dark day. be-
cause the bacteria are very sensitive
to light, hence, they should not be ex-
posed to the sunlight for any length of
time. If properly made and used good
cultures will greatly insure the salts
factory incubation of the seed There
is nothing else for you to do after
planting is finished except to keep stock
off the land until the next spring. You
may then cut it for hay when it has
reached the right state of development
We have grown it on the college farm
for several years past, and obtained
from five or more cuttings of not less
than five tons per acre.
The directors of the experiment sta
tions at Boseman, Mont, Fort Collins,
Colo, Manhattan, Kan, or Lincoln, Neb.,
should be able to put you in touch with
producers of first-class alfalfa seed.

Land intended for alfalfa should be

September. The turning may be done.
however, as late as the 18th. If cow
peas have been grown on this soil it
will be an advantage, as it will help to
supply it with a part of the nitrogen
and humus it should have in order to
insure the best results with alfalfa
Even though there be heavy mass of
vines on the ground, do not hesitate to
pillow it all under a good depth 1t is
sometimes necessary to run over mass
of vines of this kind with a 20-inch
disc cutting them up thoroughly by ira
versing the field in opposite directions
AS soon as the vines have been plowed
under you should proceed to roll and
harrow the land. This will retain all
the moisture in the soil and will cause
the mass of vines to decay more rapid
ly. 1t will also result in firming the
soil, which is a desirable practice where
crops of this character are plowed I'M
der. Most people make the mistake of
thinking that it is not necessary to
plant alfalfa until rather late in the
season. If conditions are such as to
enable you to get it into the ground be-
tween September Is and October 1, you
will have planted it about the right
time. We hardly think that planting
after October Is amounts to much in
