GERMAN ATTACKS
Are SMASHED
Continued from page -

by the Germans. Four more or less
fresh divisions were brought up for
this operation and a huge number OF
guns were brought into play especi-
ally over the back areas. Consider
able quantities of gas also were
thrown into the vicinity OF Fonque-
villers, indicating Ilat the Germans
did not intend to try to advance to
a great depth. since this gas hangs
about for a long time.
Sought The Ridges Only.
The enemy was simply trying to
get a hold on the dominating ridges.
They failed to advance at most
points about the salient and even
lost a considerable stretch OF ground
in a counter attack by the British
between Hebuterne and Rossignol
wood, where the British pushed for
ward some 500 yards. At Bucquoy
the Germans had some success and
got a footing in some places but
their attack as a whole was a big
failure. The enemy casualties were
very heavy because Of the dominat-
ing positions held by British machine
gunners and rifiemen.
Rossignol wood was found filled
with German dead and the low lying
ground in front Of the ridges told
an awful story. 1t seems certain
the Germans will try again to cap
ture the heights, for they cannot sit
where they are.
The British counter attack at
Aveluy wood, south Of Hesnil, yes
terday, was an entire success and
the old positions were returned. The
men who went through this fight
declare that the Germans lost three
killed to one for the British. II was
a desperate fight. The British storm
ed the wood after battling forward
with machine guns and rifles and
then continued the battle with hand
Rrenades and bombs. The Germans
chung tenaciousIy to their positions
but were gradually forced TO tall
back, leaving many dead.
Casualties Very Heavy.
Prisoners captured by the British
when Ayette was taken Wednesday
say that the casualties among the
German officers and nOn-c commits
stoned officers have been very heavy
since the beginning OF the offensive.
The situation is SO bad regarding
non commissioned officers that the
higher command has been bringing
back into the line those previously
combed out because Of age or
wounds.

LEAF HOPPER REPELLED BY USE
OF BORDEAUX

Gardeners who suffered from the at
tacks of leaf hoppers on their potato
vines this year can store away for ref
erence the results of an experiment in
the station plots at Madison.
Plots sprayed with Bordeaux mix
ture for blight and rot withstood the
leaf hopper much better than those in
adjoining plots. Actual count showed,
says H. +. Wilson who was in charge
of the experiment, that the hoppers
were far more numerous on the I'M
sprayed plants. The Bordeaux mixture
did not kill the insects already infesting
the plants but it served to keep them
from attacking new plants. Plots of
both early and late potatoes showed
this difference.

for the sheepmen Of Wisconsin to raise
liberty crop of lambs next spring and
that IS to give whole lot of careful
consideration to the feed situation now

This is the message which William

Sheep Breeders and Wisconsin Live
Stock Breeders Associations have asked
The Iowa County Democrat to carry to
its readers this week and he feels that
there is every reason to be exceedingly
serious about the matter.
Many of the clover and alfalfa seed
ings in practically all sections of the
state are winter killed and as a result
only short crop was taken. Sheep
men need one of these forages especially
for their breeding fiocks. and Wisconsin
t1ockmasters have been counting on
going over the top in answering the
appeal of the nation for wool
They will continue to plan on doing
their part but according to Mr. Renk
will find it necessary to change their
plans. We are going to keep our
promise to Uncle SAM" says Mr. Renk,

on clover or alfalfa hay and this loss
can only be met by careful planning.
Whenever we find ourselves without
clover or alfalfa we will turn to corn
fodder and good. clean oat straw as
sources Of roughage. These we expect
to supplement by providing each of our
breeding animals from II to 3 pounds
per day of corn silage, or roots, and as
soon as the flock is placed in winter
quarters we will begin feeding them
enough of a mixture of oats and bran to
keep them in thrifty condition. On the
average, we find it necessary to provide
sheep under these conditions with about
one half pound per day of grain mix
