London, Sept, 26.-Detailed reports
of operations in Palestine lag consid-

on Monday emphasizes the astonish-
ing thoroughness of the destruction of
the Seventh and Eighth Turkish
armies.
Remnants of these forces which
succeeded In crossing the Jordan river

without war material.
There has been no more complete

says. Groups of men have been found
sitting under white flags awaiting the
acceptance of their surrender"
Aside from more than 260 guns cap
tured vast quantities of ammunition
are lying everywhere, some munitions

reported that if the Turks try to raise
new armies to replace those destroyed,
they must call on Germany to supply
every gun and every instrument of

This area was strewn with wreckage

captured 81 cannon, thousands of

DAIRY cows BRING SUCCESS
Prosperity Follows Closely In The
Wake of the Boil WeeViI in
Southern Communities.

Prepared by the United States Depart.
ment of Agriculture.)
The story of how the dairy cow
came to the rescue Of a section of
southern Mississippi which had be-
come badly in debt and greatly dis
couraged by unsuccessful attempts to
grow cotton after the arrival of the
devastating boil weevil is told by
dairy specialists of the United States
department of agriculture.
For many years the section men
toned had continued to grow cotton.
The boil weeyiI reached the district in
1908 and began to show its effects the
following year. The year IN which
the weevil appeared, the community
produced 31,S12 bales of cotton, but
the next year receipts fell to 1878
bales. In 1910 the crop was $3.50,
and in 1911 only 3,168. The farmeTs
continued to grow cotton in hopes that
the weevil would leave their section,
but their efforts gave less and less
promise. They could no longer Dor
row money on the prospective cotton
crop and were forced to mortgage their
farms to the limit.
Finally the decline in the rural dis.
tricts was rejected in the nearby city.
A cotton and wooden mill gave up Op-
erations. Everywhere business was
affected, and the whole region faced
financial ruin. The business men be-
came thoroughly aroused to the situa-
ton and began advocating the prOduc-
ton OF other crops in place of cotton.
Through their efforts, the farmers at
tempted to grow peanuts, cane, melons,
sweet potatoes and other crops, but
because the soil had become depleted
in fertility and on account of lack OF
experience in producing and market
ing the new crops, these attempts
proved to be failure. There were
few razorback hogs in the county, but
little corn on which to fatten them,
There were also a few scru0 COWS,
which led some enterprising citizens
to believe that the dairy industry could
be developed, and as result lOcal
creamery was built at cost Of $500.
1t failed, however within year, and
although a second effort was made to
start it the result was the same.
AT this juncture the United States
department of agriculture and the
State Agriculture college became In
terested in the problem and dairy
specialist was sent to the community.
After making a thorough study Of
local problems, he interested many Of
the farmers in the growing of such
crops as would furnish feed for dairy
cows. Legumes and corn were the
crops best adapted to support the
dairy cow as well as to build up the
soil and keep it clean of weeds. He
succeeded, after some opposition. In
getting Is silos built before the end
Of the first summer. He arranged
meetings and campaigns on dairy sub
jects. He encouraged farmers to
