STRENGTH OF U.S..
CORPS IS DOUBLED
AT WAR FRONT
New Plan of Organization
Substitutes Six Divisions
For Three
NEW TYPE OF WARFARE
Pershing to BE Equipped
With Artillery Heretofore
Not Dreamed of

Washington, March 7.-Based up
on the three-line method of trench
warfare evolved in France, the Wal
Department, it was learned to-day
nave approved plan of organization
which fixes six divisions as the
strength of an Army corps.
Three or more. corps will consti-
tute field army and the immediate
purpose of the department is to COM
plete the organization of the first
field army in France in the shortest
possible time to give General Per-
shing the strength to hold a fully
Americanized" sector of the front.
Thes plan leaves to General Pershing
the determination of the number of
corps and the number of field armies
needed and also authorizes him to
recommend commanders for the
higher units.

Harrisburgers Take Places
on the Front Line With the
Famous Rainbow Division

The famous Rainbow Division is
one of the big units on the new eight
mile American fighting line. This
means that quite a number of BOYS
from the city and neighborhood and
now actually in the trenches await
ing the promised assault of the Hun
legions.
The so-called Rainbow Division
was made up of individuals from all
parts of the country and Harrisburg
boys were keen to be identified with
it. Commissioner f. Y. Gross was
among those who wore a worried
countenance to-day for his son,
Lieutenant Henry NJ. Gross. went
over with the Rainbow Division and
is likely now in the thick of it.

It's a Long, Long Way
to LewistOwn, if You
Know How to Work 1t

Have you ever heard of the crew
OF the Flying Dutchman, the unfortu-
nate humans who were consigned by
tate to the unspeakable anguish of
wandering in their ship over the face
of all the waters of tine globe in a
neVer-ending and vain search for a
final resting place?
Cornelius Daily and his wife,
Becky Daily, aged "A and 73, respec-
lively, who were picked up in tears
on the granite coping of the Grace
and Blackberry streets entrance to the
Pennsylvania railroad station"
claimed that they were on their way
to visit friends in Lewistown, after
they were driven from their home in
Lee county, Kentucky, by forest fires.
The story goes on IN such like:
I'VE started in a one-horse wagon,
This was last summer. En- route the
horse died. Then we sold the wag-
on, and started to foot it"-etc., etc.
Now, the funny part is, that it's a
much longer distance to Lewistown
than you think. This is vouched for
by a reporter, who gives his word
that one year ago last September
this self-same couple was picked up,
in tears, on the granite coping of the
entrance to the Pennsylvania railroad
station" in Williamsport, where
their pitiful story touched hearts,
just as it did here yesterday. At
that time the money, and some be-
sides, to take them to their friends
in Lewistown" was raised. and the
old couple started on their way re-
joicing. The couple plays cne-night
stands only, never stayirg in the
city more than long tuoIgh to be
helped along their way with a Purse.
Now. the question is. how often.
since that night in September. two
years ago almost. when the Ken
lucky" refugees told their story in
Williamsport and received a Prise TO
pay their fare to Lewistown, tnw
often has the same fare TO Lewis
town been raised, and how f&c is it
to Lewistown, anyway?

said that great delays in shipping
the shoes to and from the repair
plants would result, and that the
government naturally would have to
allow the manufacturers a profit for
the repairs. He suggested that the
Army ask experts from the big shoe
repair machinery makers to visit the
encampments, lay out plants suitable
to their needs, hurry the machinery
needed through on priority orders
and organize permanent repair units
from the drafted men who formerly
worked in shoe factories and shoe
repair plants. He provided General
Goethals with a list of men in the
Army from the Kreider plants who
could be called upon. The Kreider
plan will be worked out in all the
cantonments and thousands of dol
lars will be saved the government
thereby in shoe repair work.

PROPER TINE 10 IRRIGArE CORN

Irrigation of corn is not materially
different from the irrigation of any
other rowed crop. 1t is taken for
granted that the rows will be SO
planted as to get the right slope of
the land to obtain proper flow of
water between the rows.
The time to irrigate will depend
entirely upon season and locality.
Moisture enough should be in the soil
to start the crop and keep it grow
ing. If such moisture comes from
rains it will not be Necessary to irri-
gate in the early stages of growth.
If rains do not supply the early mois-
ture, it is necessary to irrigate in Or
der to get water into the soil.
Corn does not use heavy amount
of soil water until about the time it
commences to silk and shoot. So
that if there is enough water in the
soil to keep the crop growing with
fair vigor up until this time, there is
no necessity of irrigating. If, how
ever, the soil gets dry enough so that
the crop willis in the daytime or the
leaves roll in the daytime, the crop
should be irrigated.
To irigate requires, first, prepara-
ton of the land by single shovel
plow, or a furrow opener. Burrows
are made in the center of the space
between the rows of corn. Irrigation
is accomplished by running small
streams of water down the burrows
until the soil has been properly wet
ted.
To summarize. then, in the irriga-
tion of corn water enough should be
applied to keep it growing. The most
critical time for the supply of extra
water is just at the beginning of the
shooting and tasseling period. Irri-
CATION should be given at this period
