contained deep shell holes, which were
filed with water. In the heavy dark
ness men fell into these water holes.
Thoroughly drenched, we continued
our march. No attention was paid to
obstacles in the way over which we
were constantly stumbling. Speed was
the only aim. Dead men and horses
lay In the middle of the road. but no
one took pains to remove them.
At dawn we arrived at little vii
lage, where we halted. We took pos
session and established as strong a
temporary defense as possible in the
time permitted. Our position was es-
tablished behind a cemetery wall. New
troops continued to arrive, but all were
badly disorganized. Cavalry, mounted
artillery and machine-gun detachments
followed. These had some sort of
formation and while there was some
disorder the panic, which Character
lied the other units, was missing here.
They also showed evidences Of having
suffered losses, but nothing in com
parison to ours.

The farmer whose land Is right can

He should do this consistently every
year. He can add enough bushels to
the acre to more than pay for his la

surance against blight.
The question as TO whether potatoes
will blight or not Is answered. Watch
the weather of July. If July Is cold
and wet like IL was In 1915. blight Is
threatening. If July is a month OF
drought with rainfall below the aver
age then there will be no blight.
We recommend spraying every year
to men who are specializing In pota-
toes and who know that their soil Is
capable Of producing good crop. For

eral wagons turned over and others
became imbedded in the mud. The
horses were unhitched from these and
the wagons left behind. The wagoners
mounted these horses and drove on,
forgetting everything In one wild
panic-stricken race for safety.
An officer rode up and handed an or
der to our captain. We were halted
Mt field close to the road. There we
were permitted to stack our guns and
rest. As we lay at this point we
watched the passing columns, field
kitchens, munition trains, sanitary col
umns and field postal wagons racing
by In one grand carnival of confusion.
Every wagon carried wounded men.
Their faces indicated clearly what tor
lures they were enduring as they were
bumped along over the unspeakable
roads upon heavy trucks. Still they
were anxious to go ahead at whatever
cost. They feared the fate which
would befall them should they fall into
the hands of their merciless enemy,
which would show them the same con-
sidcration which they themselves had
offered in previous encounters, in
which they took no French wounded
men prisoners.
Evening came on and with it tor
rental rain. We lay in the fields,
weary and chilled through, yet no one
of our unit moved, for we were ut
terly overcome by exhaustion. Artil-
lery detachments now began to arrive,
but few of them had their required
number of six guns. Many had only
three, others two. and few proceeded
with only one fieldpiece. At one time
a whole row of about fifty gun car
riages passed without any guns mount
ed upon them whatever. These bat
terles had managed to save their
horses, but were compelled to abandon
their guns to the French. Some car
riages were drawn by only two to four
horses instead of the required six.
There now passed before us some
fifteen magnificent automobiles, the APP
pearance of which won the admiration
of everybody.
"Ah," exclaimed many of the SOL
diers, "the general staff-Duke Al
brecht Of Wurtemberg and his friends"
Discomfort and murmurs of rebel
lion went through our ranks. Every

FERTILIZER LAW HAS BITE
Lapeer County Man Discovers Day Of
Victimizing Farmers Is
Passing.

East Lansing, Mich.-A Lapeer coun-
ty man has discovered that Michigan's
fertilizer law has bite. Coincident-
ally he has learned that the balmy
days. during which fleeing the farmer
was highly popular outdoor sport
with certain class Of citizens, are no
more.
The discoverer Of these facts-thOugh
he continues to be quite modest about
the matter-was a Richard Stafford
Of Lapeer county. He unloaded con-
siderable quantities Of limestone upon
Lapeer county farmers as limestone
phosphate. Analysis by chemists Of
the experiment station Of the college
failed to disclose the presence Of phos-
pilates I'm the mixture, whereupon Stat
ford was placed under arrest, brought
to trial, and fined $500 and costs.
The case was the first brought by
the college under the fertilizer law, for
heretofore most manufacturers and
agents have been satisfied to accept
warnings and make their products con-
form to the requirements Of the stat
utes.
The experience Of the first man to
run crosswise to the measure Is ex.
pected TO have n salutary effect on
other manufacturers and statesmen
who might be tempted to market spu-
rious products.

ton was derived from study Of the
epidemics of late blight which occurred
in 1912 and 1915. The distribution OF
blight in those years was found to
be exactly that Of the heavy rainfall
areas-this might readily be expected,
but the interesting and important dis
covery was made that the rainfall that
determined blight was not that Of the
months of August and September In
which the actual blighting and rot
ting occurred, but was that Of July.
The explanation Of the relationship
Of July weather to the blighting that
occurred In the latter months Is found
In the life story Of the fungus that
Is responsible for the wholesale dam
age. The fungus causing late blight
does not live over in the soil. but is
carried to the fields In the tubers.
Probably every lot Of seed carries
more or less Of this fungOus trouble.
When the partially bllghted seed stock
Is planted the fungus grows into the
sprouts and first appears ms blight
of the first leaves. Only plant here
and there In the fields is affected. II
the disease is to establish itself In 9th
er plants II must have wet conditions.
From the original sources the blight
spreads with every rain. II the rains
are frequent It gets established
throughout the field. II the period Is
one OF drought then the blight is re-
stricted to the few plants Immediately
around the blighted sprouts.
The story Of late blight Is that Of
many other plant diseases. The mi
tIal sources of infection are few, and
the severity Of attack hinges upon the
weather of the first half Of the season.
This weather determines whether the
fungus Is to get an early start or
not.
AS late potatoes are generally plant
ed in Michigan. July and early August
will make up the first half Of the grow
ing season. II the grower watches the
weather of this period he has the In
iiex which tells him whether blight has
made a start or not.
The treatment for late blight con-
sists In spraying the tops frequently
with homemade bordeaux mixture.
This spraying is recommended as a
matter Of insurance against leaf dis
orders of potatoes. 1t is good one
season as well as another, declare the
pathologists. With fertile soil and
good cultivation, spraying will make
the plants yield better. This, comes
about from the fact that the bordeaux

our spirits. "They have directed the

are not considered"
What we were to be assigned to do
had not yet been told us. We were left
lying in our swamp until ten o'clock
that night. The troops continued to
flow back In great disorganized con-
tingents. Machine gun companies
passed with empty wagons, having lost
their guns. The laundering OF the
cannon gradually came nearer from the
west. The noise along the highways
became greater and panic spread,
adding to the horrors Of the night. Fu-
gitives wandered around in the dark
ness through the streaming rain, trying
to lead their wives and children to
safety, only to find death under the
wheels Nof the wagons. The wounded
were also mangled by scores; piteous
cries for help were heard everywhere.
Under the strain of the traffic, the
roads became badly broken up and all
along their sides abandoned vehicles Of
every description lay.
We started forward at about three
o'clock in the morning and soon we
were with the rear guard. Infantry
regiments, now merely fragments Of
their former strength, arrived In a
fearful condition. The soldiers had
thrown away their knapsacks and ev-
cry unnecessary article which might
l be m impediment to speed.
Before long the FIRST enemy shrap-
mel burst over our heads, which re-
suited In an even faster marching.

East Lansing, Mich-The late pota-
to crop in Michigan is in many sections
the important money crop. Growers
who remember the disastrous losses of
1912 and 1915 when the crop blighted
badly and rotted in the field are ask
ing themselves "What about the blight
this year," Indeed, the big question to
be asked about the Michigan tuber
crop is not question of price, but
one of soundness. Will the crop es-
cape the ravages Of this most serious
of all plant diseases or will one-fourth
to one-half of II rot In the ground and
in storage?
The weather holds the answer TO
this question. Late blight of potatoes
Is fungous disease and as such is
markedly influenced by the weather
conditions. The late blight fungus
thrives and spreads in cool wet wealth
er. Hot, dry seasons while not SO
favorable for growth of the tubers
carry freedom from blight.
Significant rs is the relation TO
rainy weather yet it must not be
thought that the coming of blight :
chance affair dependent on this
heavy rain or that. Plant pathOlogists
of the Michigan experiment station
have found that the relation of late
blight epidemics to wet weather is
very definite one and they have learn
ed how to predict wher late blight
threatens the crop. This informa-
