More Beans, Peas, Peanuts.

As important features Of Its supple
mentary program for feeding the ma
tion. Its. armies, and the allies, the
United States department of agrIcul.
ture recommends that great attention
be paid to the production Of beans.
peas and peanuts. On these subjects
the program states:
1.-THE production Of beans and peas
should be increased in regions to
which they are adapted, because Of
their high food value. keeping quail.
ties. and availability for domestic or
export trade.
"Soy beams and peanuts should be
increased In order to supplement beans
and peas as human food. as source
Of much-needed oil, and as animal
feeds.
"rhe production Of beans last year
In the six leading states increased
from 10.7l5.000 bushels to 15701 900
bushels, and peanuts from 35324.500
bushels TO 00.222.000 bushels. But
these increases proved to be greatly
needed. and there is every indication
that large increases will be readily ab-
sorbed In 1918.
''The peanut Is especially valuable
because Of the oil 1t contains. for
which the need Is great. In the South.
especially, soy beans and peanut meal
are proving very satisfactory as par
tial substitutes for wheat. Both soy
beans and peanuts are Of great value
as forage crops"

Billions Of Dollars Damage to

SPECIALISTS URGE BIG WAR
Assistance to Be Given Farmers to Re.
duee Injury Caused BY insects, Dis.
eases, Mice. Rats, Squirrels
and Other Rodents.

Every effort should be made to pre-
vent losses In production. storage. and
transportation OF food In these days
when the conservation OF every prod
uct contributing to our food supply
means so much. states the United
States department Of agriculture In Its
1918 campaign just announced.
Billions Of dollars are lost every
year, says the statement. from such
preventable causes as insects, plant
and animal Diseases carelessness In
breeding. predatory animals. rats.
mice, ground squirrels and other ro-
dents. These losses are being held
In check by present agencies and can
be further greatly reduced or pre-
vented at cost which is Insignificant
when compared with the amount Of
damage done. Methods OF controlling
many of these harmful factors are now
wen established and should be more
widely adopted. A large loss on the
farms Of the United States results
from the improper care OF manure.
and Its careless and Ineffective use.
In these times OF scarcity Of fertlllz-
Ing materials more attention than ever
should be paid to the conserving Of
plant food from this source.
Animal Diseases and Parasites.
II has been estimated that diseases
Of animals. such as hog cholera. tuber-
culosis. contagious abortion. dourine,
Texas or tick fever. and others. cause
annual losses aggregating many mil
lions. Many Of these diseases. to a
still greater extent. can be prevented
or their rayages reduced considerably.
The department has greatly extended
Its facilities for dealing with these
matters and will assist farmers In
every feasible way.
The annual losses from insects and
plant diseases are enormous. II has
been conservatively estimated that
smuts Of wheat alone cause losses ag-
gregating sG0.000.000 annually. The
staff Of specialists In the department
OF agriculture. as well as the staffs
In the state institutions. has been In.
creased, and, in cooperation with the
forces In the various states, they will
be able to render more effective as
sistance to farmers during the coming
season than ever before.
Predatory Animals and Rodents.
The losses from animals injurious to
agriculture and to animal husbandry
are enormous. Native rodents cause
losses Of grain. forage and other agri-
cultural products estimated at more
than s150.O00O0O. House rats and
mice levy toll Of 500. 00.000 upon
the nations food supply. On the
western cattle ranges predatory AMI
mails alone cause losses Of live stock
amounting to $2O.00o.0 900 to $4,000. 900
annually. Methods Of eradication have
been developed, especially In the casa

and the removal of the glass lid, which
MacBeard's tumble had knocked to
the floor. had reduced the air pressure
to normal. The creature was suffer-
Ing because there were only 10 pounds
Of air upon each square inch OF Its
surface. 1t suffered just as human
being suffers on q high mountain.
It squIrmed and wrlthed. and the
water was churned up by Its fappers.
The gill openings beneath the ears

do nothing. He knew that II was
growing visible because 1t was dying,
rs happens with the crystalline crabs

He turned off the gas and staggered

he had discovered some species OF

He reached the gate. opened II,
slammed 1t, and ran down the road.
He did not cease running TILL he pulled
himself up under street light. He
realized then that he was hatless;
people were staring after him.
And, looking back, he imagined that

''It's been a crazy night. l wonder

And he half believed MacBeard had

assaulted him.
But. as he thrust his hands Into

out the single page Of Masterman's

there was at least some basis for the
remembrances that surged through his

Under the light Of the next lamp

DRUGGISTS ENLIST
MEN TO RUN SHIPS

At a convention Of Rexall druggists
in Boston, Louis X Liggett, president
Of the United Drug Company, made an
address, in which he stated that the
United States Shipping Board had ac-
cepted an offer from him on behalf Of
6,S5i druggists, all over the United
States, to aid the board in securing
qualified recruits to train for the
Merchant Marine service.
Several hundred druggists stood up
at the close Of Mr.. Liggetts address,
in the Boston convention and took the
oath Of office.
The United Drug Company owns 5000
stores of which 6,S54 are in the United
States, Mr.. Liggett has been informed
officially that If each Of these 6,S54
stores sends one man a month to the
training service Of the Shipping Board,
the enlistments thus secured will be
sufficient to meet all the demands OF
| the Merchant Marine for its new, all
American crews. The men accepted
/ for the Merchant Marine are exempted
from the draft.
G.. o. Hancock is the recruiting agent
Of the Merchant Marine Service in this

they threw back the advancing Ameri-
cans temporarily, the Germans were
compelled to give ground in many
places, the most important OF which
were in the regions of Scissors and
Rhelms-the points where they are
making their most frantic resistance.
Near Scissors the enemy felt the
pinch Of the Franco-Amerlcan shears.
Near Rheims, the Franco-British shears
labbed its point In a little farther, add
ing TO the danger to the German army
In the pocket below.
The Germans slight success resulted
from a heavy counter attack, which
ousted the Americans from Epieds. But
the Americans later regained the town
and advanced bit farther.
The object OF the Germans in throw
ing in strong forces here Is not Ger
tain, but it is believed to be necessary
to project the slow process Of with
drawal Of supplies and troops from
| the pocket.

BERLIN, July %, (via London).
Night report-There have been
local engagements on the western
bank Of the Avre.
Between scissors and Rheims the
Crown Princes army frustrated a
strong attack by Joint enemy forces.
Day Report-At many points on
the front British detachments ad-
vanced against our lines. They
were repulsed. Artillery activity re-
yived In the evening.
There was quiet on the battlefront
at times. South Of the Aisne the
enemy, as a result of his heavy
losses, did not renew his attacks
yesterday. The artillery duels also
decreased In violence.
On both sides of the Ourcq and
between the Ourcq and the Marne,
the enemy launched violent partial
attacks on nearly all sectors. They
were repulsed.
South OF the Ourcq they were
frustrated by our counter-attacks.
Enemy detachments which pene-
trated our advanced positions on
the Marne, on both sides of Jaul-
gonne, were thrown back TO the
river by counter-attacks.
There have been local battles
southwest and east OF Rheims.

partnership Of the Kaiser and his "Gott'
had gone awry.
Taking the situation as a whole
March pointed out that the German;
had made bold decision for retirement
relying on the cover Of night and the
secluslon Of smoke clouds to hide their
withdrawal.
This decision had been taken when
the important communication line
from scissors to Chateau-Thierry was
apparently destined to fall into allied
hands.
Between the Marne and Rheims on
the east flank, the enemy has been
pushed back from i-2 to miles along a
i0-mile front he said. Along the Marne
itself the Americans and French have
crossed the river at number Of points
and now hold possession there. The
response of the Germans 10 Foch's
counter offensive was to throw in q
large number of reserve divisions
which had not been used when the
German drive for Rheims started.
It is the belief OF Gen. March that IS
reserve divisions were thus used.
The advance Of the Allies for the last
few days has been practically steady.
March pointed out there Is only one
rail line over which the Germans can
retreat, though he may have construct
ed, in addition, some small temporary
field railroads. His retreat was neces-
sary If he did not wish to be caught in
a pocket at the mercy Of the Allies,
March declared.
The ground gained In the Franco
American drive is about equal to the
territory the Allies lost in Flanders last
April, March revealed.
As for the Montdidier attack, March
said it was not Of essential Importance
to the whole game except that it keeps
the BOche guessing.
The American units noted last week
as in the thick Of the fighting still con-
tinue there.
