PROTECTS WINTER WHEAT

That old straw stack left over from
last year is doubtless in good condi
tion for use as mulch on winter
wheat or winter rye fields. Manley
Champlin, associate agronomist at
State College says that where the win.
ter wheat or winter rye has been sown
in corn stubble or grain stubble, a
mulch of about two tons of old straw
per acre will be a distinct advantage
to the crop, because IL will protect it
during the winter and will also aid
in holding the moisture about the
roots In the spring. By next fall, when
it is time to plow up the field again
the spring and summer rains will have
beaten the straw into the ground 50
that there will be no difficulty in plow-
ing it under. In November and early
December is good time to spread
the straw, especially if it is 10 be used

can be spread any time on the rye or
on the meadows. There are severa,

CHAPLAIN OF THE "BLUE DEVILS

Canon Cabanel, chaplain of the ia
nous Blue Devils, who has been the
distinguished guest of the United
States, for the past two weeks, is
about to return to France. Sent by
the French High Commission, of which
he is member, his mission in America
was to visit the various committees OF
the Fatherless Children Of France, an
American organization cooperating
with a similar one in Paris of which
Marshal Joffre is the head, and ex-
press to them the gratitude of his

friends.
Canon Cabanel spent three and one
half years in the trenches with his
"beloved boys" until he was so seri-
ously gassed as to render him unfit
for front line service. He wears the
decoration of the Legion of Honor,
and the Croix de Guerre with three
palms and four stars-seven citations
besides the fourragere of the
metallic militaire, WHICH is equivalent
to the British Victoria Cross and given
only for extreme heroism.
At one time while conducting the
funeral service, of a dead poilu the
boches began to shell the cemetery.
The men present were withdrawn, but
Father Cabanel stayed on to finish the
service. A shell exploded, burying
him and he was reported as dead. He
survived, however, but 1t was not un-
! til later that his Blue Devils learned
this, and in the meantime they had
erected monument to him with the
inscription, ITO Our Father Cabanel,
who died for France and God" The
monument still stands with the first
Fart of the inscription: "To Our
/ Father Cabanel."

FIFTH AVENUE NOW
CLAIMS A THOUGHT

While New York city is giving a
thought to Broadway, Fifth Ave
nue., the most international and
most democratic street in the
world"-as the Fifth Avenue asso-
citation styles it's by no means
being forgotten. In fact, certain
dangers threatening the avenues
development and beauty are now
under close scrutiny of the streets
friends The most serious peril is
declared to be the continued
growth of tall apartment houses
above the Fifty-ninth street sec
ton. The Fifth Avenue associa-
ton has been engaged for some
time in fight against this, and as
result the committee on city
plans and improvements of the
board of estimate is considering
petition presented to the board by
the association to put ban on the
further construction of apartment
houses in the section concerned.
Another thing under discussion is
the removal of the Arch of Jewels
and the supplementary decorations
at Fifty-ninth street and Fifth ave
nue., which played its part at many
patriotic demonstration during
the war and is now considered no
longer a thing of use or beauty.
Already one of Fifth avenues
most conspicuous war trappings
are being removed. The two and
one-half miles of reviewing stands
built within six weeks time early
in the year are being taken down.
The stretch between the Metropoli-
tan museum and One Hundredth
street once more has taken on its
former appearance and the other
parts between Fifty-ninth and One
streets will be as of
old within the next few weeks. |
Millions of feet of lumber were
used and, according to the terms
agreed upon, the wood will go back
to the contractor who put up the
stands and maintained them at the !
contract price to the city of S74,-i
000 Now let them demolish the
sophmore den effect in front of the !
public library and the fantastic |
victory arch in Madison Square |
and our famous avenue will once |
more be fairly established on a !
peace basis.
