115OMORE FIGHTERS ARRIVE HOME ON THE TRANSPORT DEKALb
Nearly 400 of Men Reaching New York Yesterday Were Wounded
 in Action

New York. December 13.-Buffeted by high seas, which carried away deck house and wrenched a four-inch gun rem its mounting, the American trans port DeKalb arrived here today from France with approximately 115O soldiers, sailors and marines, nearly 400 of whom had been wounded in action. She was preceded into port by the mail boat ore goaian carrying a solitary doughpoy, Sergt, Leland A. Kaufman, of the Sec ond division headquarters troop, who brought home the favorite charger of his commander, Major General Omar Bundy.
 Both vessels were given the warmest of greetings being met at quarantine by rne mayors official committee of well come and escorted to the docks amid the footing of harbor whistles. New York, however is preparing an even noisier celebration next Sunday when the Levia- than, the giant transport. formerly the vaterland, will bring home 5000 sailors who have seen active duty on American craft in foreign waters. This will be the largest number of veterans to ar rive here in one contingent.
 ELEV EN-DAf IklP
 It took the DeKalb il days to make tho trip and according to her com mander, Captain E. H. Dodd, U. S. N, it was the toughest crossing he had ever made. For four days and half he said the navigator hardly knew what course he was running, for during that period the sun, moon and stars were ob- seured. Six members of the crew, flung from their feet, were injured, but all though the wounded at times had to be tied in their hunks, they made the voyage without mishap.
 With the DeKalb came more tales of American valor. Perhaps the story with most action was that told by Private John H. Marks, of the Ninety-fifth com pany of marines, Sixth division, who halls from Thornton, Ark.
 Describing the fierce fighting at Sos- sons, Marks said that when on July 10 the Sixth division was ordered forward to reinforce the Fifth, his company had to cross a wheat field in broad daylight, hammered by German artillery and faced with innumerable machine gun nests.
 MEN SHOT DOWN
 Down went our men, one after an- other" he said we had started at daybreak, but it was dusk when we reached a stream at which we were to otop. Ao 0eIiHdiS udu q llilo oH lAiste place, but under cover of darkness, we dug ourselves in, firing only when we saw spurts of German flre."
 Marks said the worst firing began when only five of his comrades were left and that 1t was useless for us to keep on fighting against such odds unless we could secure a machine gum" He said that two of them, therefore, had crawled into No Mans Land and come back with three guns which had been cast aside by the Germans.
 Although slightly gassed, he rallied when the Germans attacked again and crawled about, handing to his comrades rifles and ammunition taken from dead and wounded Americans Then he said, when day broke and he could hardly stand another 10 minutes of it, "a de- tachment of French troops came to our rescue"

Judging from the description contain
ed in your letter, your cow is appar-
emily suffering from either a chronic
cold or possibly from some infection
of the lungs. The case does not look
unlike tuberculosis and under the cir
cumstances l would advise you to have
this COW treated for this disease by
competent veterinarian. The sooner
you do this the better it will be, be-
cause of course the milk may be the
means of transmitting this disease to
your family.
tuberculosis is not commonly met
with in Georgia, but it occurs from time
to time The symptoms of the dis
ease are very much like those given IN
your letter. Very often animals which
are affected with it do not show evil
dence of Weakness or breaking down
in the tissues which results in a run
down condition for a considerable Pc
riod of time. Sometimes the disease
may run it's course quickly and in other
cases it may continue to affect an an
imal for a long time without appar-
emily making much progress.
The tuberculin test is certain test
for diagnosing whether your cow is AT
fected with this disease or not.
Bud worms are very hard to fight
They of course infest all types of land,
but are probably worse in bottom LANDS
The best means of fighting this pest
is to rotate your crops. In other
words. do not grow corn on the same
land year after year. You can put out
poisonous bats for this pest, but we
do not regard them as especially valu-
able.
Outside of that, there is little you
can do except to rotate the crops on
your land.

SOME ESSENTIAL FACTS ABOUT

Investigations show that varieties Of
corn may have a rather limited adapt
ability. For instance. those sorts which
do well in north Georgia may not give
the best results in middle or south Geor-
gia- To ascertain some basic data rela-
tive to this important matter. certain
tests have been inaugurated by the State
College OF Agriculture at Athens, Ash
burn and Triton II will be observed
that some OF these varieties OF corn
were grown at two locations in south
Georgia Those grown at Athens were
planted on the Cecil clay. the typical red
soil of north Georgia. In south Geor-
gia the paintings were made on the Tiff
ton sandy loan. Our readers who are
interested in the cultivation of corn
along the most successful and profitable
lines will note the suggestions made and
apply them as far as possible in their
practice.
The corns that are adapted to north
Georgia are not necessarily desirable for
the southern part of the state. The re-
verse is also true There are certain
conditions that will have to be looked 20
in adapting varieties to the southern
part OF the state. The weevil damage
is especially prevalent over the coastal
plain region, and varieties must be Sc
lected that are resistant Investigations
made up to the present time seem to
show that the close-fitting shuck over
the end Of the ear may materially less
en- weevil damage before the corn Is
taken from the field The fiintier varie-
ties also seem to have some power Of
resistance. Whether this is due to the
flintiness of the grain or to some cor
related characteristic does not seem at
the present 10 he quite clear.

grind roughage, such as hay, in with
meal. We think it can be fed along with
pulled fodder to advantage in its nat
ural state. Horses and mules require
some roughage and this is the best way
10 provide it, Long fodder can be run
through a cutting box, moistened with
a little salty water and then fed with
satisfaction to work stock along with
the grain mixture above mentioned. 1t
will generally be advisable to feed 1 to
l 81 pounds of grain to 100 pounds Of
live weight to meet the requirements OF
work stock when performing heavy
labor.

Average
Yield

The yields after CoWpeaS turned un-
der are something like two to four
times as great as the yields after corn.
This emphasizes the necessity OF estab-
fishing a rotation that will maintain
the soil for the highest production Of
corn
In selecting a variety of corn. local
adaptation and local conditions should
be taken into consideration. as well as
the Weld and reputation Of a corn. Tn
first place to hunt for a better variety
than is now being grown is in the home
community. II it cannot be found there.

II would be very difficult. in our opin-
ion, to make a satisfactory ration for
work stock in which corn is altogether
excluded. Corn, either whole or ground,
will always cnstitute the basis of the
best ration to use with work stock We
believe the available supply of corn can
be made to go much further by using
it in a more conservative manner than
II is often now practiced. You under
stand of course that most farmers throw
a quantity of ears into the feed troughs
provided for their horses and mules
without regard to their actual needs.
Sometimes they feed twenty or even
thirty or more ears, depending on the
size of them. AS matter of fact. a
greater benefit. would often accrue to
the animal consuming this corn if it
were ground into corn and cob meal On
account OF the character of the cob it
is necessary, of course, that the meal
be ground rather fine. When this is
done an equal mixture of velvet beans
and cornmeal can be made and a fine
concentrated ration provided for work
stock This would make the corn go
twice as far as if fed on the ear and by
Itself rather than in a combination like
that suggested.
Another method would be to combine
corn and cob meal on the basis OF 500
pounds to 100 pounds of cottonseed
meal. We do not think II advisable to
