rots should be sown as early in
the spring as the ground can
safely be worked and the second
about midsummer. Parsnips and
satisfy should not be planted in
the South until melon planting
time, for too long a growing
season may make the roots tough
and woody or in a wet fall give
them a second growth.
Any good garden soil with

FORT LINCOLN
NAY Be OPENED

1fajoEs bE. F. Steele. commandaut Of
the Student Army Training corps at
the Agricultural college, returned to-
day from Bismarck where he went
at the request of the war department
to estimate the cost Of the necessary
repairs to make Fort Lincoln habi-
table. So
Fort Lincoln has been used only as
a mobilization point for state troops
since the summer of 1914, when the
battalion Of regular infantry which
had been stationed there was CALL
ed to the Mexican border.
The fort is modern and in gener-
ally, good condition. The plant rep
resents an investment OF approx
mateIy $1,000,000. The barracks Of
ficers' quarters, gymnasium, ware
house and other buildings have suf-
fered little through three years dis
use, and the parade and drill grounds
are among the finest to be found in
any army post in the northwest.
Fort Lincoln has taken the place Of
old Fort Abraham Lincoln, which
stood three miles to the west, on the
opposite bank Of the Missouri It
was there that General George A.
Custer was stationed when he em-
barked on his last campaign, which
resulted in the massacre. Of himself

cavalry at the hands of Sitting Bulls

property in it's war program, but

positive evidence that Uncle Sam.

With The French Army In Picardy,
Wednesday, Sept. 18.-The troops Of
the French army under General
Debeney who pursued the Germans
from the region Of Mondidier. have.
after a few days of comparative in
activity successfully resumed their
attacks in the region Of st. Quentin
in conjunction with the British.
In spite Of the long pursuit from
Avre to the Somme with almost con-
slant lighting since August s, Gen.
lDebeney's men are pressing the en-
emy with the same Yigor with which
! they began the offensive in Picardy.
The French have advanced close
Ito Dallon, less than two miles from
the western outskirts Of st. Quentin.
! Here they are fighting the Germans
on the Hindenburg line and every
inch Of the ground is being disputed
stoutly by the enemy. Apparently
the Germans are determined to hold
the plateau which lies just west Of
St Quentin, south Of Francilly, east
of Savy, and north Of Dallon.
General Debeney's troops have
been obliged to attack it piece
meal and to advance by little bounds,
slipping between machine gun en-
placements here and there and some
times making frontal attacks. Ev-
erywhere the French have been OBJ
liged to fight their way around or
through obstacles that before this
war would have been regarded i'm
pregnable. The German infantry
/ here is supported by artillery which
puts down heavy barrages in front
Of the advancing waves and main
tains a harassing fire against the
rear and the lines Of communication.
Progress under these conditions
necessarily is slow but the allied lines
are none the less surely advancing
