to plant as much cotton as was pos
sible. The principal drawback has
been the shortage of farm labor.
Because of the necessity of draft
ing men into the military service OF
the country there has been scarcity
of farm help throughout the sea-
son. The war industries have called
many men also. Nevertheless, the
farmer and his family, including
women and children, have worked
harder than ever before. Saturday
holidays have been generally abol-
ished and farm laborers are putting
in more hours per day than here
tofore. Labor saving devices have
been introduced to a considerable
extent and the farmer has general
ly increased his cotton acreage and
at the same time has planted more
feed and food crops than usual.
The season has been generally
favorable for farm work, but for
which act ii would have been i'm
possible with the labor available to
work the acreage planted and at
this time there is comparatively no
abandoned cotton acreage. In the
older boil weevi districts, farmers
are getting back into cotton. Por-
tionS of the west have been too dry
for cotton, especially in western
Texas, where there is a decrease II

operation, after hard fighting, the
American troops on this front last
night captured the village of Vaux,
together with large slice OF the
Paris highway, west of Chateau
Thierry, and two patches of wooded
land.
The Americans took rs German
prisoners, including FIVE officers, and
captured quantity of machine guns
and other equipment.
In the Vaux region of the Ameri

by surprise. Most of the prisoners
were taken out OF cellars and dug
outs. How many Germans were
killed, of course is unknown, but
from the number of dead in plain
view, at various places, the total
must have been considerable.
