broad. shallow sheet at low veloc-
| ity. 1t has been found that average
soils are not washed much in broad
terrace channels where the fall does
| not exceed 6 inches in 100 feet and
IT is recommended that this fall never
be exceeded. However, even with this
fall some washing occurs and some
rich soil particles are carried off the
field. Hence graded terrace should
be given no more fall than is neceS-
Sary to remove the run-off water with
out danger of the terrace being over
topped. The terraces may be laid out
with a uniform or a variable fall. The
best results are obtained where the
variable fall is used, since 1T tends to
prevent the concentration of the wa
ter at the lower end of the terrace.
Also less washing occurs where the
variable fall is used.
The provision for suitable outlets
is one of the biggest problems In ter
racing work. Natural water courses
make the best outlets Sometimes 1t
is necessary to construct bitches for
use as outlets. Where natural draws,
gullieS, or roadside bitches are used
they should be protected from erosion
by building across them brush, con-
crete, stop-plank. or soil-saving dams.
The growing of grass in draws used
for outlets is especially recommended
The work of laying off terraces
should be done carefully, preferably
by an experienced man. The best in
struments are the farmers small tele-
scopic level and the engineers large
level.
The pillow and the v drag are most
generally used for building up ter
races. Other implements sometimes
used are the steel ditcher or terracer,
the slip scraper, the disk plow, and
the road grader. At crossings OF
draws and gullies the slip scraper IS
used to build up the high terrace en-
bankment. 1t is very important that
the top of the terrace be built TO the
proper grade. The upper terraces of
n field should always be built first.
Care and Attention.
Terraces require considerable care
and attention, particularly during the
first year after they are built. They
should be inspected after every heavy
rain and any breaks or weak places
repaired Immediately. The best re-
suits are obtained when the crop rows
are run parallel TO the terraces.
In order to maintain the height and
width of the terrace. a cultivated ter
race should be pIowed at least once
each year, and the soil should be
thrown to the center of the terrace.

Future Binding-Twine Supply.

American farmers Use 2OO,OOO.OOo
pounds of binder Irvine a year, while
an additional 1000O0,000 pounds is

henequen used in the manufacture of
Irvine comes from Yucatan and most
of the sisal used in making Irvine

COMFORT OF CHICKEN FLOCK
When Confined on Account of Bad
Weather Provide Straw Litter
for Scratching.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
If the chickens must be confined on
account of bad weather provide n good
straw litter in which their grain feed
may be scattered. This will give them
exercise and keep them interested and
healthy. When chickens that have
been accustomed TO free range are
closely confined this frequently checks
their development for the time being
unless they are made contented in
their new quarters. Provide green
feed for them also.

FAMOUS PHOTO "WOMAN.
AT THE OPERA HOUSE

The infinite care and patience
which goes into motion picture pro-
auction is exemplifed by remark
able instance of painstaking attention
to details in making of Maurice
Tourneur's woman" which will come
to Richmond at the Opera House
Theatre next Monday and Tuesday.
One of the episodes of Woman
which depicts the feminine influence
thru the ages presents the Garden of
Eden with Adam and Eve and the
more or less well known serpent as
the principals. The Garden of Eden
scenes were filmed in July, that is
all except one scene, a sunset effect
on the hill. Time and again Mr..
Tourneur tried to catch the right
sunset effects but without success.
The other episodes were gradually
completed, but still Eve, otherwise
Ethel Halloe, of the Century Roof
show, and Adam, alias George West,
remained on the Tou1neur payroll
while the director tried over and
over to film just the sort of sunset he
wanted. August came, and September,
and finally October.

LondOn.-Should the Germans refuse
to sign the peace treaty, which does

Of the Hun fighting machine.
. 1t Is declared that all military ar
engagements have been made for the
allied armies to advance in exactly the
same way as they would have done had
Germany not accepted the armistice
terms.
According to a dispatch from Cob
LEM the impression gained by Ameri-
can officers through talking with Ger
mans regarding the peace terms Is that
many of them are bitter and sullen,
but are inclined to resign themselves
to accept any terms, no matter how
harsh. No concrete plan of action has
been suggested in the event the Ger
man delegates at Versailles refuse to
sign the treaty.
American officers say the common
people in the occupied area have wide
ly divergent views, but that as whole
they appear more or less stunned.
Many of them seem crushed, but 9TH
ers are showing spirit of bravado.
One American who had circulated
freely among the civilians reported
that none of them expected that Ger
many would accept the terms. They
said they could not see how the people
would be able to pay the indemnity
demanded If their commerce was re-
stricted and all their colonies confis;
Gated, and, in addition, Germany had
to cede territory belonging to the main
land.
But there is one thing the Germans
can bank upon. They will either sign
the peace terms or face an invasion by
the allied forces, who will take charge
in Germany and force just peace
should the Huns decline to accept the
terms offered.
