Richmond that affect drinking and

statute books to prove it, and If the

them. he will be glad to take action
at once, in accordance to the statutes,
against the violaters.

CAPTURE One HU N

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN
FRANCE, Feb. 22.-By Associated
Press.-In patrol fight Americans,
from units under instruction in the
famous Chemin-des- Danes sector,
killed one German and captured an
other. One American was slightly
wounded.
This is the first time it has been
permitted to reveal the fact that new
American units have entered the line.
The troops have been there for some
time, suffering casualties but their
presence was kept secret until it was
certain the enemy knew they were
there.
Details of the patrol fight are as yet
unavailable, beyond the unofficial re-
port that the prisoner taken was cap
tured single handed by young Amer
ican from one of the New England
states who during the engagement,
dropped into a shell hole on top of a
German hiding there and later
brought him in.
The American forces entered the
line on one of the darkest of nights
through shell-pitted region dotted
with shell wrecked towns. The
French general commanding the sec
tor hero of the Marne, greeted them
as comrades in arms and kissed the
American flag.
Previously it was known that Amer
ican forces were holding a section of
the front in French Lorraine, east of
St Mihiel, and last weeks reports
told of American batteriesc in active
service in the Champagne. The
Chemin-des-D Danes where they have
now appeared is on the Aisne front
the furthest point west at which
American troops have been reported.
This sector is we'll towards the left
flank of the French line, the British
having been reported recently to have
taken over an additional sector OF the
front south Of ST. Quentin probably
as far as LaFere.

as having any effect on the ultimate

Dispeased at Action.
Mr. Schmidt stated that Attorney
General Stansbury had expressed dis
pleasure with the way the suit was
conducted BY Prosecutor L, S. Os-
born in Evansville, who was the only
defendant to the suit when the last
ruling of the court was made declar-
inig the state dry law unconStitution-

The failure of the prosecutor to fol
low Stansbury's advice and ask for
change of venue to a more favorable
county than Vanderburg, was one rea'
son for the attorney-generaIs indig'
nation, according to the dry leader.
According to Mr.. Schmidt, Osborn
declined an offer of the dry federation
to give him legal assistance in de.
tending the suits, stating that he
wished to handle them himself.

viii Receive Report.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 22-The
American general staff is watching the
new German sweep into Russia with
little more than academic interest,
quite convinced that Russia Is no long
er a military factor to be considered
and that the situation has little bear
ing, for the present at least, upon the
other battle fronts.
Large captures of military stores
bear little relation to the equipment
Of troops on the Italian or west front,
officers here say, as the guns and riff
les captured can be of use only as
long as the ammunition supply captur-
ed with them holds out.
Observers both here and in Russia,
it is understood. are satisfied that as
the German drive continues, 1t will
meet with more resistance. The
greater the distance the Germans ad-
vance the more effective would be
that resistance, the military experts
say, since it would require great num-
bers of the troops to maintain the
German transportation lines and give
the best opportunity for guerilla war
fare Eventually they think the vast
extent of Russian territory and. the
great population will form more defi-
mite movement of resistance.
The government will receive a de-
tailed report from Brigadier General
Judson, who has just returned from
duty at the American embassy in Pet
rograd
The turn of events in Russia in the
view here, swings upon the object of
the German high command in renew
ing operations.
The capture of war material from
an unresisting foe is considered Of
no great importance and the capture
of thousands of prisoners is regarded
as an added embarrassment in many
ways The taking of Petrograd, it is
conceded might be desirable for its
effect in Germany and particularly in
Austria.

GOOD CROPS FOR
HOGS TO GATHER
Animals Save Time and Labor
by Harvesting Corn, Pump
kins, Rape, Rye, Etc.
GRAIN IN RATION NECESSARY
advisable to Start Swine Gradually
Before Turning Them Into Field
Of Corn-AIfaIfa Is Best of
All Green Forage.

Prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agricultural
HOgging off corn has been tested
thoroughly at several agricultural ex-
pertinent stations and by practical hog
recommended. Corn alone is not a
satisfactory hog ration. Where the
crop is to be hogged off, some other
crop should be combined with it.
Pumpkins seeded at the same time as
the corn, soy beans or cOwpeas seeded
in the same or in alternate rows with
the corn, and rye, rape or soy beans
seeded at the last working of the corn
have all been used with satisfactory
results.
Grain Ration Needed.
With one of these combinations no
other grain ration is needed, but If
there is no other forage growing in
the cornfeld some concentrate, such
as tankage, cowpea meal or middlings,
should be fed. 1t is advisable to start
the hogs gradually for few days,
with little green corn before turn
ing them into field of corn to hog
it off. The corn is ready for grazing
when the grain is dented or glazed.
1t will take about one month for four
teen to sixteen hogs weighing $50
pounds each to hog off an acre of corn
which would yield 35 bushels. 1t is
not advisable to let the hogs have ac-
cess at any time to more than they

The war program for food prOduc-

recently in session in Chicago has
pledged its support in Il communication
to Secretary Houston. It's resolution
says that the association, ''realizing the
urgent and extraordinary need exist
ing for tremendously increased produc-
ton of seeds on account of the devaS-
tation wrought by the war in the prin-
cipal European producing centers and
the almost prostrated condition of
transportation, preventing distribution,

agriculture our pledge of our entire re-
sources to win the war and to in
crease our efforts in producing crops
that we may stay the dread scourge of
famine, and we pledge to this end un-
reservedly our money, our lands and

To this Mr.. Ousley, the acting Sec
retary of agriculture, replied as fol-
lows:
81 note with much satisfaction and
greatly appreciate the renewal by your
association of its pledge to the presi-
dent and the secretary of agriculture
of the entire resources of its members
in the effort to increase crop pro-
duction. 1t will undoubtedly be nee
essary for the department to suggest
from time to time changes of prac-
tice which are necessary to enable the

VELVET BEANS GOOD
FOR MARKET STEERS
Compare Favorably With Cotton
seed Meal for Fatteninq.
Results Given of Experiments Con-
Quoted at Government Farm
More Profitable to Feed Soaked
Beans Than to Grind Them.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
Corn silage and velvet beans are
said to form a satisfactory ration for
fattening steers for market. This Is
the result of feeding experiments just
completed at the United States depart
ment of agriculture farm at Beltsville,
Md.
Other points brought out by the tests
indicate: that velvet beans compare
favOrably with cottonseed meal, pro-
ducing profitable gains when the beans
are the sole concentrate of the ration
that 1t is more profitable to feed
soaked beans than it is to grind them
and that more beans will be eaten if
soaked before they are fed than if they
are fed dry.
The objects of the experiment were
to compare velvet beans in three forms
whole, ground, and soaked-with cot
tOnseed meal as supplements to corn
silage and dry roughages, and to de-
termine the most economical forms in
which velvet beans might be fed in fat
tening cattle for market. Incidentally
1t was hoped that the tests would show
possibilities of grain conservation in
the production of beef as a wartime
measure.
The cattle used in the tests were
40 good twO-year-old steers in which
short-horn blood predominated. They
were bought last February in the East
st. Louis market, where they were Sc
lected out of shipments from Illinois
and Missouri, and were in fair stocker
condition when placed on the expert
mental feeding rations. They were
divided into four lots of ten steers
each, the lots selected so that they
would be as nearly equal as possible
in weight, quality and condition. They
were fed for 112 days.
The average daily ration consumed
by lot I was: 4.39 pounds of cotton
