From the plateau the Americans
took up positions in the ravines which
drain northward. but the advance was
necessarily cautious. owing to the
commanding position of La Petite

In that region.
The American and French artillery
bombarded this mountain, where the
Germans had built strong emplace-
ments for heavy machine guns and
also kept up continuous fire upon
all points where the German artillery
had been endea voring to hold back the
advancing infantry.
The principal resistance with which
the Americans had to contend came
from the region OF La Petite Mon

observers reported there were from
30 to 40 machine gun nests entrenched
on the summit Of the hill On the other
hills to the south of the Aisne the
German machine gunners had taken

In the 100000 bushel seed corn
drive to be carried on in Minnesota
during Seed Corn Time. September
1920, the farm bureaus of Minnesota
in cooperation with the Agricultural
Extension Division of the University
Of Minnesota and the Federal Food
Administration, are putting great en-
phasis on three things:
Method of selection.
Curing.
Storing.
In selecting seed corn, corn growers
are urged to choose, from standing
stalks in the field, medium-sized well
shaped ears Of q variety that has been
grown in the locality for some time;
ears nearly as large at the tip as at
the butt. with straight rows Of uni
form well-shaped kernels and not
more than Is or 10 rows of kernels
TO the ear; ears with kernels that
I'LL all the space on the cob.
In curing farmers are urged to put
their seed cora in warm dry place
each day as it is picked. in order 70
avoid danger OF exposure to freezing
weather. For curing, 1t is also urged
that the corn be placed upon racks
or hangers Of some kind so that the
air may circulate freely about each
ear. and thus enable it to dry thor.
ougnly before freezing weather can
injure 1t.
Seed corn should be stored in the
attic. in some unused second story
room which is we'll ventilated, or In
a cellar in which there is . heating
plant.
Both for curing and storing sim

following material: two. inch 4

total cost for lumber and nails should

They are simply and easily put to-

they leave the corn arranged in such

Uniform state laws are advocated by
the United States department of agri-
culture as being the most effective
method OF dealing with the sheep-kill-
Ing dog. Investigation by the depart
ment among sheep owners In Is states
east Of the Rocky mountains shows
that out Of q total of $3.50, 402 sheep In
the SOP counties reporting. 34.8S3 were
killed by dogs in one year (191O and
were paid for by the counties. At the
same rate Of loss In other farm states
the total annual destruction Of sheep
by dogs would be 1O7.76O.
But these figures are based only
upon the number actually paid for. and
II Is more than probable that the true
losses fur exceed this. 1t Is known
that many sheep are killed which are
never reported to the county official.
In 1913 crop reports In 30 states sub
mitted estimates which showed that
the number of sheep In those states
could he increased $50 per cent with
out displacing other live stock. Such
an increase would place approximate
~ 34.O00.OOO more sheep In these
