A great task has been set for the
sheep and wool industry of the United
States. Every soldier in our army
requires the wool from twenty sheep
to clothe and equip him for one year.
AT the present time there are approx
imately $4,000, 900 sheep Of shearing
age in the United States, and consid-
ering that all of the wool from these
sheep should be used for military pur-
poses, they would furnish equipment
for 2h million men. Now the war
program is million men. Where is
the wool to come from to supply the
civilians? We cannot supply our
needs from imports because the wool
from other countries is required for
the armies of our allies. To state the
matter briefly, this country is facing
a great wool shortage We must
have more wool and meat and il must
De produced AZ nome.
The range sheep industry in the
United States is on the decline, and
the farm sheep industry is on the in
crease and must continue TO increase
until il takes the place of the de-
creased range sheep industry. Texas
and some of the Southeastern states
should rank high in the sheep indus
try in the future. A large part of
the farming sections of these states
are well adapted to sheep raising and
large amounts of land that could be
made profitable through sheep are ly-
ing idle In East Texas especially
there are many small pastures and
many large tracts of land which
should be stocked with sheep.
At present prices of wool and NUT
ton the annual income from good
grade eve should get from eight to
fifteen dollars, if reasonable care is
given II properly handled the cost of
keeping such eve during the year
should not be more than three to five
dollars.
In the range sections of Texas the
irouth has again become acute and
stock of all classes must be moved to
market or to new pastures. Good
breeding ewes can be purchased at |
prices ranging from $40 to SIS With

Save Vegetable Seed

Indications are that the CONNER
cial crops Of vegetable seed will be
ample for the needs next spring, ex-
cept in the case Of a few kinds.
Large orders, however. for American
vegetable seed have been placed By
the Allies, so that there is still need
for every gardener to save as many
seed rs possible from his own garden
Cabbage, lettuce. spinach and radisA
seed are especially scarce, and should
be saved this fall, even Of they are
not of the best quality leftover
seed from this springs paintings
should be carefully preserved and
used another year.
1t is easy for the gardener to save
seed of many kinds Of vegetables for
his own use, and the fad Of getting
seed grown in some other section
must be discarded now, says J. 7
Rosa, Jr, of the University of Mis-
souri, College Of Agriculture. Toma-
toes, egg plant and peppers should
be selected from productive healthy
plants, and the fruit ripened in a
cool, dry place, after which the seed
may be removed. Tomato seed is
removed easily by pulpipg well ripen-
ed fruits in water, and allowing the
pulp to rise to the surface The seed
sink to the bottom. Cucumber and
nelson seed of all kinds are also
handled this way

Great Britain at War
Our Ally's Stupendous Effort With Men, Money and
 Munitions, in Air, and On Land and Sea-

Speaking recently of the magnitude of Great Britain's share in the win ming of the war, Mir. Otto H. Kahn drew attention to the fact that it was a British characteristic not to indulge ill self-advertisment, and that it was due largely to this that the magnifi- cent war record of the British Empire had not received adequate recognition. With a view to placing the facts before the American public and giving due honor to Britain's achievements, an organization of Americans, with Alton B. Parker as chairmna and Dr. Char les w. Eliot as honorary chairman, has planned special day of tribute, December 7th, 1918, which all will be duly observed in New York and over six hunderd cities throughout the country.
 During the course of the war, the Scientific American has kept its read CTS in touch with the technical devel- various fields of battle. The present article is an attempt to visualize the vast contribution of Great Britain to the final and glorious success of Allied arms.
 The Army.
 In August, 1914, the British army contained 25OOOO regular troops, 20O,- 900 reservists, and 250,000 territorials (the old volunteers). By the middle of August, two weeks after the out break of war. she placed her first ex- peditionary force of 160,000 men in France. At once Lord Kitchener call ed for volunteers, and the country bent itself to the task of building up an army to meet the mighty forces of the Central Empires. A year later, or July 31st, 1915, 100000 men had enlisted in the army, and ten months after that, on May 25th, 1916, the Gov elynment announced that the total vol untary enlistment in the army and navy had reached 5,041 ,OO0. In Au- gust of the present year, Lloyd-George announced that there was grand to- tai of S,500,OOO men serving in the army and navy of Great Britain.
 As the war progressed German and Irish propaganda was quick to take advantage of the prominence which was given in the press to the achieve ments of the troops from overseas the Canadians, Australians, and New Zealanders-by suggesting that Eng land, as usual, was sitting back and letting other people do the fighting for her. The following official statistics !" show how England held back: v

armies against the Hindenburg Line between Cambrai and St. Quentin, with the result that they broke entirely through the wide stretch of those amazing defenses. During these weeks of continuous fighting, the casualties were from 35000 to 40,G00 a week.

Sergeant Leo Levine of Pine Bluff had only a few weeks to go before he would have won commission at the Central Officers Training Camp at Camp Pike, when the kaiser gave up the ghost. There was no chance to go to France and fight the Huns ii they wouldn't fight, so when the stu dents were asked if they wanted to come home Sergeant Levine was among those present who answered "aye" He enlisted May 1, 1918, and was assigned to the 308th Cavalry at Camp Harry J. Jones, Douglas, Ariz He entered the training school at Camp Pike on August 15 and was in the 9th Company. 2nd Battalion when the training school closed. He was honorably discharged November 27
 The above list is the answer to the German cuckoo cry, "Where are the English?" We are now permitted to state that of the total of S,500,0OO fight7 ing men, over 100000 were serving this year in France, over million in Mesopotamia and Palestine, and the balance in the navy and in the various centers throughout the world, that are enumerated above.
 Perhaps after all, the supreme test of a nations share in allied war is the casualty list-the dead and wounded. Judged on this basis we find that III the whole British Empire, 100000 men died in battle, and by accident and disease, and today lie in soldiers grave Based on a ratio of three men wounded for one killed, the British casualties amount to over 3,oO0,0OO.
 We in American, who know what grief has come to us, due to- some
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1918-12-21

15,000 deaths and 115,000 casualties, can appreciate the price that was paid by the British Empire with it's death roll of over 100000 and it's cas- ualty list of over 3,5oo,000.
 Perhaps the most brilliant feat of British arms was the rescue of Meso-
