lg literally moved down by the ma
chine gun fire, but there were al
ways enough of them to escape the
machine guns and other internal de
ices, to overcome the defenders of
The trench and capture it. This is
not explainable in face of the claims
Of the machine gun advocates.
The machine gune does not seem to
5e nearly as deadly as our good old
a2uzzle-loading Springfield rifles.
There may be some explanation of
ais, probably is, and we should like
o have some enthusiastic machine
gunner explicit the wherefor. Fur
chermore, even the British who have
naturally exaggerated the losses of
the Germans, did not place the loss
which the machine gun and other de-
vices inflicted to be above 5000 or
200 or from one-fourth to one
third the strength of the German di-
vision, which is $4,000 men. This
compares very poorly with the loss
which Pickett suffered at Gettysburg,
Grant at Cold Harbor and Hood at
Franklin.
With all respect for the gallantry
of our British and French Allies, we
will hazard the prophesy that when
a German division takes a trench
way from an American line the field
IN front will be numbered with far
aore than onefourth or one-third of
the assailantts.

IS THE MACHINE GUN so TER
RIBLE AFTER AIL7

Every student of war history is
prepared to have some of the new in
ventions of which great expectations
are entertained fail cruelty to Justify
these expectations. There is begin
ming to be more than a suspicion that
the machine gune is not anything
like as terrible as its sanguine devo-
tees predicted. In the earlier history
of the war we were told blood-curd-
ling stories of the awful devastation
created by machine gun fire and how
ranks were moved down. We were
ed to believe that nothing could live
before such an awful hurricane of
death as came from its muzzle. Some
low the actual facts of battle are
far from supporting this view
In the old muzzle-loading days,
! hen we had to go through f1oad-in-
nine-times" before every shot we
fired, there was very rarely success
full frontal attack upon an army
standing even in an open field. The
Union army learned sadly at Fred
erickburg and Cold Harbor how hope
less these frontal attacks were and
the Confederates learned it even
more bittery in Pickett's Charge at
Chickamauga and Franklin. 1t will
be remembered that over 5000 of
Hoods men and 13 of his Generals
were piled up in front of the low
works at Franklin. Yet in this great
battle, which began March Fl, we
have seen the French and British
driven out of strong works where
they had barbed wire, hand grenades,
gas flame and machine guns galore.
The newspaper accounts spoke of the
Germans coming on in waves .and be-

The ordinary house well with a
windmill will generally furnish suf-
Gent supply of water to irrigate the
household garden IN Kansas. If a
reservoir IS constructed, the garden
can be enlarged to five acres
The water should run down the
rows. If the ground is rough it
should be leVeled enough for the wa
ter to reach all portions Of the gar
den and not cause pools in the low
spots A gentle slope of approx
mately two inches IN 100 feet from
one end to the other is ideal, but a
deeper grade can be used by making
dams in the burrows and holding the
water unC1 the ground IS soaked.
If the ground is not uniformly lev
Ell, the burrows should follow the con-
tour of the ground, but always main
tanning as nearly as possible the fall
( two inches in 100 feet. The dis
Vantage of winding rows in place
of straight rows is principally one of
of looks. If the garden is to be
worked by hand the rows should be
Is to 20 inches apart with a furrow
between for the water-if by horses,
the row should be wider
The supply ditch should be of a
size to furnish water for a dozen
burrows at once. The water should
be allowed to trickle through the fur
rows to the end of the rows and then
turned into the burrows several
times until the ground is well
soaked once every three or four
weeks depending upon the amount
of rainfall and the kind of vegetables
grown. AS soon as the ground is
dry enough it should be cultivated or
7oed so as to cover the water in the
round. This dust mulch prevents
he loss of water by Evaporation.
The irrigation of the harden at the
needed time will often, not only save
the entire crop of vegetables, but

produce

At Oberlin, Kas., Josef Knitig

Loyalty Pledge, apologized for his in

by the extension division of the Kan
sas State Agricultural College
Three-fourths of these meetings will
be held in the western half of Kan
sas, where special emphasis is being
Eiven to the pit silo.
1t has been shown beyond doubt
that the pit silo is particularly adapt
ed to use under semi-arid conditions
Those live stock producers who have
-eed pit silos longest, are enthusiastic
supporters of them. Cheapness of
>~Struction, ease of filling, perma-
nency, and lack of trouble from freez-
70 are some of the advantages.
In the eastern half of the state
where meetings are being held, main
ly on the farms of the larger owners
of dairy cattle, above ground types
of silos will claim consideration, and
in this section, as well as farther west,
special emphasis is being placed upon
the crops which can be most salts
factorily used for silage. The value
of sweet sorghums is especially
stressed because it has been demon
strated beyond doubt that this crop
gives exceptionally large production
OF sIlage OF high quality. Attention
is also being given to the use of sun
flowers as silage in sections and in
aasons where other crops are not
available.
