With weather and soil conditions
ideal for seeding spring wheat, farm
ers who ordered seed thru the office of
County Agent Buchanan. and elevators
in this city and Green Mountain, are
clamoring for the seed. To hurry de-
livery, if possible, County Agent Blu
chanan is bombarding the railroads
with kilograms to rush thru three cars
OF seed shipped from Minneapolis by
the government agent March Is. The
seed. of which there are about $500
bushels in the three cars, should have
been delivered by the middle of the
week.
Two cars were shipped over the Chi
cago Great Western and one over the
NJ. & st. L. Both roads have been
urged in the last two days to use every
effort TO give these shipments prefer
ence and hurry them thru, as the pres
ent excellent weather conditions for
seeding may not continue In the
meantime the county agent is making
plans to advise the farmers as soon as
any of the cars are delivered.
Those farmers in the county who
already had seed have begun to get
the wheat into the ground. and some
nave even begun to seed oats The
last week Of mild weather has dried
the fields so that the soil is breaking
up into fine seed bed under the disks
and harrows.

There was Belgian in one Of the
other wards, whom got to know pretty
we'll, and he would often come over
and visit me. He asked many ques-
tons about Dixmude, for he had had
relatives there, though he had lost
track Of them. He often tried to de-
scribe the house they had lived in, so
that l might tell him whether it was
still standing or not, but could not
remember the place he spoke of. Dur
ing our talks, he told me about many
atrocities. Some of the things he told
me had heard before, and some Of
them l heard Of afterward. Here are
some things that he either saw or
heard of from victims:
He said that when the Germans en-.
tered the town of st. Quentin, they
started firing into the windows as they
passed along. First, after they had oc.
cupied the town, they bayOneted every
workingman they could find. Then
they took about half Of the children
that they could find, and killed them
with their musket butts. After this
they marched the remainder of the chill
,lren and the women to the square
where they had lined up row Of male
citizens against a wall. The women
and children were told that If they
moved, they would all be shot. An
other file of men was brought up, and
made TO kneel in front of the other
men against the wall.

the bodies falling. Then some one
cried, Look, they're all down. But a
few escaped"
This Belgian had escaped by hiding
he could not remember how many
days-in an old cart filed with manure
and rubbish. He had chewed old hides
for food, had swan across the river,
and hid in mud bank for almost q
week longer, and finally got to France.
he took it very hard when we talked
about Dixmude, and I told him that
the old church was just shot to pieces.
He asked about painting called tho
"Adoration Of the Mag," and one of
the other prisoners told us it had been
saved and transported to Germany. If
that is true, and they do not destroy
1t meanwhile, we will get it back, don't
worry!
My wound was just clean gunshot
wound and not very serious, so, al
though 1t was not completely healed,
they let me go after three weeks. But
before I went, I saw something that
no man Of US will ever forget. Some
Of them took VOWS just like the men
Of the legion have told about.
One Of the patients was a German
doctor, who had been picked up in No
Mans Land, very seriously wounded.
He was given the same treatment as
any Of us, that is, the very best, but
finally, the doctors gave him up. They
thought he would die slowly, and that
it might take several weeks.
But there was nurse there, who
took special interest in his case, and
she stayed up day and night for some
time and finally brought him through.
The case was very we'll known, and
everybody said she had performed a
miracle. He got better slowly.
Then a few weeks later, when he
was out of danger and was able to
walk, and it was only a question Of
time before he would be released from
the hospital, this nurse was trans
ferred to another hospital. Everybody
knew her and liked her, and when she
went around to say good-by, all the
men were sorry and gave her little
presents, and wanted her to write to
them. She was going to get a nurse
she knew in the other hospital to turn
her letters into English, so that she
could write to me. I gave her a ring
had made from piece of shell case,
but guess she had hundreds of them
at that.
But this German doctor would not
say good-by to her. That would not
have made me sore, but it made this
French girl feel very bad, and she be-
gan to cry. One Of the French officers
saw her and found out about the doc
tor, and the officer went up and spoke
to the German. Then the French Of
f1cer left, and the German called to
the nurse and she went over to him
and stopped crying.
They talked for little while, and
then she put out her hands as If no
was going to leave. He put out hiS
hands, too, and took hold Of hers. And
then he twisted her wrists and broke
them. We heard the snap.
There we're men in that ward who
had not been on foot since the day
they came to the hospital, and one Of
