Forty yards from I've liaison shell
hole the captain paused and q whisper
to the sergeant got the men in posi-
tion. Half Of the platoon moved off
to a point where the retroat Of the
Germans to their own lines could
easily be interrupted. The captain
was determined that not one of the
raiders should escape to tell their
comrades Of their impudent exploit.
While this forty were crawling
cautiously into position. he moved
nearer the shell hole with the big
Highland sergeant, to find out If its
garrison were watchful. A voice
spoke out loudly from the direction Of
the post-a cultural voice. and the
captain buried his face in the mud
lest the white Of his skin might be
seen in the darkness. When he
raised his head again the sergeant
had left him.
Peering forward cautiously he saw
the man crawling within a yard or
two OF the shell hole. Then, to his
amazement. he rose to his feet and ac-

after him; as he neared the position
he heard the sergeant talking to its
occupants in the same cultural tongue
as their own. A few seconds later his
huge form appeared over the parapet.
then he came swiftly toward where
his officer was lying.
Come away, sir. Come away" he
whispered. And for heavens sake
get the men in. The whole division
will be laughing at U.S."
The captain allowed himself to be
hurried out Of earshot, and then he
paused for the sergeants explana-
tion.
"They are all Canadians, sir, right
enough" said the man.
But why were they talking that
And why should they not, SIR"
said the sergeant, delighted at his
officers amazement, seeing that it's
the tongue their mothers taught
them, and their fathers father spoke
before them. They're all Grants and
Camerons In that shellhole, sir, whose
grandfathers emigrated from my
very own country. 1t was Gaelic they
were speaking. not German" and the
big Highland sergeant lay down in
the mud and choked with muffied
laughter.

NarroW-ieaf or Augusta vetch is C1n- derella of southern soil improvement and forage crops It has been transformed from a weed in the north into valuable forage crop in the south. For many years narrow-leaf vetch has occupied the unique position of being gift crop to southern farmers in that it has been dis seminated largely as volunteer, reseed- ing itself from year to year and spread ing over neighboring fields. Plurality or purpose is a particular asset of this scat ter-growth, which is adapted not only for soiling, grazing. haymaking, ensiling, but also as a green manure and seed crop.
 Probably becaus it is a gift crop, that is volunteer which comes regardless of the farmers like or dislike, explains why the crop is not grown more ex- tensively on commercial scale in Dixie land. Unfortunately. it is difficult to save narrow leaf vetch seed because the seed ripens unevenly and shatter 1m- mediately after attaining maturity, with the consequence that it is expensive to attempt to save much of the seed at any one time. Generall the crop establishes itself as an unbidden guest, and, on permanent sods or in pastures, it com monly reseeds itself from year to year to the ultimate improvement of the soil and we'll being of the live stock.
 Narrow leaf vetch is closely related to common vetch, being distinguished from the latter by it's narrow leaflets. small flowers, black pods and round small seeds. It is naturalized and thoroughly established from Georgia to Pennsylvania, and occurs even as far north as Nova Scotia Especially in Georgia it is highly aprecia ted in, the vetch-growing sections

New Dairy Competition

European needs for dairy products
 may be largely supplied from pre-war
 sources within two years time, and the
 American dairy industry may again feel
 foreign competition on home markets"
 This is the conclusion of Roy c. Potts, specialist in marketing dairy products,
 bureau of markets, United States depart ment of agriculture, speaking before a recent meeting of food officials in New York city.
 In explaining the work of the bureau of markets in gathering and distributing accurate market information on dairy products, MT. Potts pointed out the stab , ilizng effect of such information on prices and stated that fluctua ting prices at wholesale make for wider margins between producer and consumer, while stabilization permits greater economy in distribution.
 Recent monthly reports on milk prices in 200 cities have called attention to the wide difference in distribution costs pre- vailing in different sections of the coun- try. While economies in distribution are CT pointed out that saving of 10 per cent in the cost of distribution would make only very slight saving to the in- dividual consumer. much greater loss to the public, he said, lies in paying top prices for inferior qualities of dairy products. He advocated standardization or methods of production and distribu- tion with special attention to more uni- form quality of product as one of the great needs of the dairy industry.

Cost of Raising Heifers

The importance of providing cheap feed for growing heifers and practicing thorough culling is brought out by the results of feeding experiments recently completed by the dairy division, United States department of agriculture. In these experiments groups of calves were fed from birth to one year and two years of age and record kept of all feed consumed.
 In one experiment, II heifer calves were raised to the age of one year. The amount of feed consumed by each calf was as follows: Hay, 571.s pounds; grain, sS5.5 pounds: siage, 26393.1 pounds; milk no pounds; skim milk, 2414 pounds Esti- mating the hay at $50 per ton. grain at s60 and silage at S per ton. milk at 4 cents and skim milk at E cents per pound, the cost of raising each heifer to one year of age was $72.42.
 Five of the calves from the first ex- pertinent were then fed for one more year. During this second year each calf consumed on the average l117.S pounds of hay. 1221.6 pounds of grain, S0s1 pounds of silage. Using the same figures for computing the cost of the feeds consumed during this second year, the total cost of raising heifer from birth until two years of age was $l57 96. These figures emphasize the necessity of providing cheap feed for heifers such as pasture and silage. and bring out the importance of carefully culling the heifers to avoid raising those which will prove to be in- ferior cows.
