Sumter county farmers have recent

County Farm Agent Marshall dis.
cussed the situation with Times

and he recommends that farmers be
especially careful when grazing their
hogs on peanut lands, and is inclined
to ascribe the appearance of cholera
to this cause as much as anything else.
The enormous quantities of peanuts
eaten by hogs as they Craze upon such
land is, in some instances, too much
for their digestion Mr.. Marshall be-
lieves, having tendency to cause con-
stipation, a condition which should
not be permitted to exist among hogs,
especially at this season of the year.
He advises that farmers who Craze
their hogs on peanuts give them some
gentle laxative during the entire
period of such grazing, and when such
precautions are taken believes there
is no danger,
The disease, having made its ap-
pearance here. the authorities are US
ing every precaution against its

have been inoculated against cholera.

of inoculation. Farmers are therefore

Decisive Battle Being Fought.

PARIS, Nov. 6.--A battle which is
believed here to be decisive is now
going on. It is being waged in two
sections. In the north the blow de-
hvered by the British armies of Gen
eral Horn. Byng and Rawlinson and
by the French under General Debeny
is threat leveled at one Of the tanks
Of the vast pockets formed by the
German lines from Holland to Metz.
The abject of this offensive is to
drive dangerous wedges either north
Of the Sambre, in the direction of
Mons, or south of the river in the
direction of Avesnes and Maubeuge
The result may be a widespread re-
treat fthe German armies in Belg-
ium. or those still between the Disc
and the Aisne.
Excellent results have been realized
so far. The Sambre river and canal
have been crossed. This was the last
line of resistance west Of the frontier,
which may be soon reached in that
region. According to latest informa-
ton the allied advance continues, not
withstanding desperate resistance by
the enemy.
The second section of the attack is
being conducted by Generals Gouraud

THRESHING
PROFITEERING
Wheat Harvest Now Under Way and
Food Administration Will
be All Ready to Take
Hand.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service.1
WASHINGTON, June 2O.-Efforts to
save farmers millions of dollars ex-
cess threshing charges are under way
by the food administration, it was
learned today.
With harvest beginning in the great
wheat belt, reports of profiteerihg by
threshing machine owners aresreach-
ing the food administration Some
farmers are being held up for n
threshing fee of fifty cents a bushei
on wheat. Increased machinery costs
and labor shortage are given as rea-
sons. Farmers held down by the fix
ed 1920 wheat price are unable to
pass this charge along and must bear
it themselves. An average increase
Of one cent a bushel threshing fee
would cost American farmers about
$40 1000, 900.
Hoover is organizing threshing COM
mittees in every wheat growing coun-
ty which are to determine just
threshing fee. Profiteering will be
guarded against. Increased fees are
to be expected. however. because of
the increased machinery costs and the
general rising scale of prices. Thresh-
ing rates have remained practically
the same as in 1911 when wheat was
$780, Wheat prices have doubled
since then and the threshing charges
must be permitted to keep pace with
the advance, officials believe. No uni
form schedule of fees can be drawn up
because of varying local conditions.
Fee schedules have already been
agreed upon in many sections IN
Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Missouri
and Iowa. AS the season advances,
Minnesota, Illinois, Montana and the
Dakotas will be reached. Oklahoma
prices range from 10 to Is cents
bushel in some districts. Missouri's
scales are from six to ten cents. One
Illinois district has fixed its price as
low as eight cents a bushel. Thresh-
ing machine owners are being licensed
and will be under the supervision OF
the threshing division of the food ad-
ministration, newly created to handle
the problems of harvesting.
In each county in the wheat belt,
the county food administrator has
been asked to organize threshing
committee to determine all questions
of fees and harvesting on the basis
of local conditions.
