correspondent adds can the terrain
around Verdun ever again be worked
by men in any peaceful or profitable
pursuit. The forest floor has been SO
tortured that to pillow it or mine it
would be like blowing or mining the
Atlantic Ocean during an equinoctial
gale. A graphic picture of modern
science and efficiency in war.

To be drilled for the next half year,
And in the shuttle forgotten,

When little boy sits on my knee
And asks what I did in the great war
And his little eyes look up at me,

That at me SO trustingly peer.
And confess that I wasn't drafted,
That I was only volunteer.

We Are Big Eaters.

Studies Of the monthly per capita
consumption of wheat, meat, fat and
sugar In the United States AMI in Eu-
ropean countries show that, in gener-
al, people in the United States eat
the most person. The German sugar
ration for 1916 1917 was hardly more
than one-tenth of our consumption
and in meats we consumed almost six
times as much as the Germans were
allowed. France is on a slightly more
liberal diet than Germany, yet the
French sugar ration is only IL pounds
a month a person as compared with
IA pounds in the United States.
though commonly considered
a country of hearty eaters, uses even
less fat than France and is about
midway between France and the
United States in meat and sugar

Der of the board who is under fire is

ONEDOOLY ACRE
YIELDS 40 BUSHELS
OWNER is WILLING TO SHARE
CROP AS A WHOLE GOOD.
HARVEST WITH UNCLE SAM.

Vienna, Ca, June Cone man in
Dooly county has harvested forty bus
hels of wheat from one acre of ground
Has any other Dooly farmer done bet
ter than that? This was done with
the use of fertilizer. The man is Mr..
S. N.Lupo. Mr.. Lupus average yield
was about 20 bushels, this one acre
being particularly fine, was carefully
harvested and kept from the rest until
weighed. Forty bushels to the acre is
considered a remarkably prolific
yield for the best land. M results
are especially gratifying since they
were accomplished without artificial
enrichment of the land.
Mr.. Lupo expresses willingness to
put the greater part of his harvest at
the disposal of the government.
Many other farmers in the county
are reaping abundant harvests and it
is very proboble that all these are
also wiling to share what they have
made with Uncle Sam.

SPECIAL INVESTIGATION OF
COTTON FUTURES QUOTATIONS

WASHINGTON, D. C. June S.-The
Secretary of Agriculture, through the
cotton futures section of the Bureau
of Markets, will make a special investi
cation of cotton futures quotations.
For some weeks past there has been
a disparity between the prices of mid
ding cotton as quoted in spot markets
and middling cotton as quoted by the
New York and New Orleans future
exchanges. This situation, it is point
ed out, impairs the usefulness of the
future exchanges to manufacturers
and dealers in hedging transactions
in spot cotton and tends to render the
market unsteady and uncertain. This
question has had the attention of the
Department of Agriculture for some
time and is also a matter of concern
to those engaged in the cotton indus
try. The department states that the
investigation of the situation will be
complete and thorough with view to
determining causes of the disparity and
steps necessary for its remedy.
The department also has taken up
with the War Industries Board, the
question of the utilization of cotton of
the lower grades, of which a large
surplus is accommodating. Low grade
cotton is pilling up because the ordin-
airy outlets for it are closed by the war
and the fact that cotton of higher
grades is being used in the manufac-
ture of goods, particularly on Govern
ment contracts, when cotton of the
lower grades might be used satisfac-
torily instead.
