THE WORLD In THE BALANCE.

The great German drive is a failure!
Even the retreat of the Allies on a
limited front, the loss of twenty or
thirty thousand prisoners and several
hundred big guns, and the destruction
Of an immense amount of property
even all that does not spell German
victory!
The impressive fact is that the Ger
mans have failed to break thorugh
and demolish the Allied line.
And at what sacrifice, at what
enormous expense, this comparatively
small gain has been achieved
Undoubtedly, the Germans have
spent thousands of lives in this des-
perate effort to wrench control from
the Allies on French soil.
Personally supervised by the EN-
peror himself, and by the high officials
of the Prussian army, the drive is
terrible in its proportions and results
but withal the outstanding feature is
that the Allies are still holding to-
gether. There has been no demorali-
cation, no giving away, such as the
Germans evidently contemplated.
With all this in progress, how true
it is how deplorably sad, that the
people of this section of the country
do not appreciate the immensely o.
the situation They do not seem tt
know that they are living in one OIL
the decisive periods of the worlds

battle-for even in its stupendous as
pect it is. alters all, one big battle
there hinges the fate of the world, Of
civilization of humanity!
1t is enough to live in such {
time, when everything that is worth
while for us is literally at stake, but
it is appalling that the actual fact is
unappreciated

tory:
The Herald-Journal regrets that it
published the announcement of the
coming of Hon. William D. Upshaw and
his quartette to the Greensboro Bap-
list church without first consulting
the pastor, Rev. L. E. Dutton. We
did not question the matter, when sent
in by Mr.. Upshaw. However, Mr..
Dutton resented the attempt of Mr..
Upshaw to make his Sunday morning
service political advertising scheme
When the announcement appeared, Mr.
Dutton asked from what source We Sc
cured the information that Mr.. Up
shaw and his quartette would appear
il his church. When informed that
the news was sent in by Mr.. Upshaw
himself, Mr. Dutton Immediately wrote
Mr. Upshaw not to come. Mr.. Dut-
tons positions is that he would not
permit any candidate for a high Of
fee to use his church for an adver-
Using stunt. The Herald-Journal will
be more careful in the future when
an attempt is made to use its columns

GRINDING THE GRAIN

Does it pay to grind grain for feed?
Generally speaking it does From
to II per cent of the whole grain fed
is undigested, and when this loss can
be saved by grinding it will pay ev-
cry farm with stock to use the grind
er We have entered an era of high
priced feed, the end of which no
man can foresee, and the higher the
price the more this to II per cent
saved through grinding means dollars.
Nature intended grain fol- reproduce
tive purposes rather than for livestock
to eat. and protected each kernel with
a relatively insoluble resistant sub
stance which the feeding experts have
proven that in some instances the di-
gestive juices never penetrate.
The amount of saving made through
grinding grain or feed depends upon
tie kind of animals to which it is fed
and on the kind of grain. Young ami
mails of all breeds do best on ground
grain, because their mastication is
never through. Old animals do best
on ground grain because their teeth
are poor and they swallow a great
deal of grain whole and never digest
it. Hard-worked animals do best on
ground grain feed. Under the head
of hard-warked animals come horses,
milk cows and and animals fed heavily
for fattening or for growth The high
er the price of grain the greater the
saving mode by grinding corn, oats
barley and even alfalfa. The leading
authorities on feeds and feelings are
Henry of Wisconsin, Jordan of New
York, Wool of California, and others.
Jordan reports three experiments
with horses. One lot was fed ground
corn and oats and another unground
grain from the same bin. The re,
suits showed that IA per cent less
ground feed got the same result as
with the full quantity of the whole
grain. DR.. Henry says:
Small grains, such as wheat, rye
and kafr, give best results when
ground and barley should never be

fed unless ground or rolled"
His experiments back up his asser-
ton. Test lots of steers were fed
one lot with whole corn, one with
ground corn and the third with ground
corn and ground corncobs. Seven
hogs followed each lot of steers. The
hogs with the steers fed whole corn
increased in weight 1877 pounds to
each 100 pounds of corn fed to the
steers. The hogs following those fed
ground corn only made or of a pounu
gain on each 100 pounds of corn meal
fed, and the hogs following the steers
on meal and ground corncobs made
an even less gain.
Grinding grain is an especially good
practice when feeding ensilage be-
cause the gums of the animals some
times become tender, particularly if
the ensllage shows acidity. Grinding
glain gives the maximum efficiency in
assimilation of nutriment. Not only
does grinding the grain increase its
value, but the feed grinder works up
a great deal of low-value feedstuffs
that would otherwise be total waste.
We are raising some corn and we
are going to grow a great deal more
Of it, so whatever we may say about
corn feeding holds good here. With
the feed grinder available it is a
waste of both time and feed to shuck
the corn and shell it. The shuck con
tains feed value and so do the cobs
The cobs are rich in carbohydrates.

SCHOOL WAR GARDENS.

The United States School Garden
Army is beginning to mobilize.
The whole plan has been carefully
worked out and so far there hasn't
been single hitch in the programme
The Secretary of the Interior
through the Bureau of Education is
calling upon state and county superfn
tsndents of school and also upon the
governors of the different cities, towns,
villages and suburban committees, and
asking everyone of these people to fall
in line and get to work in the greatest
practical volunteer campaign that has
been started since the war began.
The Germans organized their garden
army years ago and just because they
did do that very thing they have been
able to laugh at the rest of the world
for so long.
For back of every bullet and behind
every shell and under and over every
! cloud of poionous gas and running ev-
cry submarine and directing ever
aeroplane is a man who must keep W
his energies with food
We might as well send our men to
the tho trenches to face cannons and
airships and poison gas and explosives
dresses in a suit of pajamas with moth
ing but their bare hands for weapons,
las to send our army overseas without
enough provisions to keep them not
only alive but in fighting trim when
they get there.
Where are we going to get the food
to send them?
| We have just one storehouse from
which to dray, and that storehouse is
/ in the fertile fields and the rich har-
vests of our own country.
/ Our troops abroad need flour and
sugar and coffee and tea and corn
ard meat-we must send them these
things or be ready to bow our heads
under the German heel.
/ There is no use blinking the fact
8 minute longer; the whole thine
comes right down to the question
OF bread and meat, and enough of it.
If we send that we raise abroad what
shall be done at home
This is the time to begin to consid-
er these things. We have been blind
and dull of wit, and deaf and indiffer-
ent long enough.
From one end of this country to the
ether the people are beginning to
realize what this question of food
means. No wonder that the United
States School Garden Army idea has
taken such a splendid hold, not only in
