No system of agriculture can be
successful without crop rotation and
no rotation can be a success without a
cultivated crop Corn and POTATOES are
the most successful cultivated crops
grown in this section Of the county
and they fit well in rotation. It has
been demonstrated this year that US
ing corn and potatoes in a rotation is
the quickest and surest wav to bring
prosperity to the country. Farmers in
the vicinities Of Berthold and Burling-
ton who had from 40 to 50 acres in DO
tatoes are getting q good profit this
year and will have same land in ex-
cellent shape for wheat next year.
There is no better wav to promote
the growing Of more and better corn
and potatoes than to bring before
farmers exhibits OF the best producers
and the results of the best methods Of
production.

Maj. Gen. George w. Read had beer organized for the command of our di- visions with the British which were held back in training areas or assigned to second line defenses. Five of the 1C divisions withdrawn from the British area in June, three to relieve divisions in Lorraine and the Vosges. and two to the Paris area to join the group of American divisions which stood be- tween the city and any further ad- vance of the enemy in that direction.
 The great June July troop movement from the states was well under way and, although these troops were to be given some preliminary training before being put into action, their very pres ence warranted the use of all the older divisions in the confidence that we did not lack reserves. Elements of the Forty- second division were in the line east of Rheims against the German offensive of July 15s and held their ground unflinchngly. On the right flank of this offensive four companies or the Twenty eighth division were in position in face of the advancing waves of the German infantry. The Third di- vision was holding the bank of the Marine from the bend east of the mouth of the Surmelin to the~ west of Mezy, opposite Chateau Thierry, where a large force of German infan- try sought to force passage 'ander support of powerful artillery con centrations and under cover of smoke screens. A single regiment of the Third wrote one of the most brilliant pages in our military annals on this occasi It preventeN the crossing at certain points on It's front, while on either flank, the Germans who had gained footing pressed forward. Our men firing in three directions met the German attacks with counter attacks at critical points, and succeeded in throwing two German divi- sions into complete confusion capturing eco prisoners.
 The great force of the German Chateau Thierry offensive established the desp Marne salient, but the enemy was taking chances, and the vulnera 5ilty of this pocket to attack might be turned to his disadvantage. Seizing the opportunity to support my conviction, every division with any sort of training was made avail able for use in a counter offensive The place of honor in the thrust toward Sois- sons on July IS was given to our First and Second divisions, in company with chosen French divisions. Without the usual brief waring of a preliminary bom- bardment. the massed French and Amer tcan artillery, firing by the map laid down it's rolling barrage at dawn while the infantry began it's charge The toct- cal handling of our troops under these trying conditions was excellent through out the action. The enemy brought up large numbers of reserves and made T stubborn defense both with machine guns and artillery. but through five days fighting the First division continued to advance until it had gained the heights above Soissons and captured the village of Berzy Sec. The Second division took Beaurepaire farm ana Verzy in a very rapid advance. and reached a posi- tion in front of Tigny at the end of it's second day. These two divisions cap- tured 7o0e prisoners and over 100 pieces of artillery.

 gett, resting its right on Pont-a-Mous- son. with it's left joining our Fourth corps (the Eighty-ninth, Forty-second and 1 First divisions), undre Maj. Joseph T. Dickman, in line to Zivray, were to swing in toward Vigneulles on the pivot of the Moselle river for the initial as- sault. From Zivray to Mouilly the Sec ond Colonial French corps was in line in the center. and our Fifth corps, under Maj.-Gen. George H. Cameron, with the Twenty-sixth and Fourth United States divisions and a French division at the western base of the salient, were to at tack three difficult hills, Les Eparges, Combres and Amaranthe. Our First corps had in reserve the Seventy-eighth division, our Fourth corps the Third di- vision, and our First army the Thirty fifth and the Ninety-first divisions, with the I1ightieth and Thirty-th available. It should be understood that our corps organizations are very elastic, and that we have at no time had permanent assignments of divisions to corps.
 After four hours artillery prepara- tion the seven American divisions in the front line advanced at a. m. on Sep tember F, assisted by a limited number of tanks, manned partly by Americans and partly by the French. These divi- sions accompanied by groups of wire cutters and others armed with bangalore went through the successive bands of barbed wire that protected the enemy's front line and support trenches in irristable waves on schedule time breaking down all defense of an enemy demoralized by the great volume of our artillery fire and our sudden appearance out of the fog.
 Our First corps took Thiaucourt while our Fourth corps curved back to the southwest through Nonsard.. The Sec ond Colonial French corps made the slight advance required of it on very difficult ground, and the Fifth corps took it's three ridges, and repulsed a. counter attack A rapid march brought reserve regiments of division of the Fifth corps into Vigneulles in the early morning, where it linked up with patrols of our Fourth corps closing the salient and forming a new line west of Thiaucourt to Vigneulles and beyond Fresnes-en Woevre. At the cost of only TOGO casualties, mostly light. we had taken 16,000 prisoners and AZ guns, a great quantity of material, re- leased the inhabitants of many villages

General Headquarters, Amer
 ican Expeditionary Forces,
 January 3, 1919. "To the Editor of The Age
 Herald:
 By direction of the com mander-in chief of the Ameri- can expeditionary forces I am sending you herewith, with his compliments, a copy of his re- port of November 20, 1918, as cabled to the Secretary of War, together with maps illustrating the St. Mihiel and Meuse-Ar- gonne offensives. Yours very truly, D. x. NOLAN, "Brigadier General, General
 Staff, A. c. of S., G-2."
 The maps which accompany the report are on a large scale, and are of special value, be- cause they show the location at a glance of each division on each day of the great offensive. The report of General Pershing 2 is as follows:

 The Adjutant General of the Army, Washington. Rush. To the Secretary of War:
 My Dear MT. Secretary: In response to your request, l have the honor to submit this brief summary of the or ganization and operations of the Amer ican expeditionary forces from May 26, 1917, until the signing of the armistice November II, 1918. Pursuant to your instructions. immediately upon receiv- ing my orders, selected a small staff and proceeded to Europe in order to become familiar with conditions at the earliest possible moment.
 The warmth of our reception in Eng land and France was only equalled by the readiness of the commanders in chief of the veteran armies of the allies and their staffs to place their experi- ence at our disposal In ~eosultation with them the most effective means of cooperation of effort was considered. With French and British armies a their maximum strength, and all efforts to iislodge the enemy from his firmly en- trenched positions in Belgium and France having failed, it was necessary to plan for an American force ade- quate to turn the scale in favor of the allies. Taking account of the strength of the central powers at that time, the immensity of the problem which con- fronted us could hardly be overesti- mated. The first requisite being an or ganization that could give intelligent direction to effort, the forma ton of a general staff occupied my early atten- ton.
 A well organized general staff through which the commander exercises his functions is essential to a success full modern army. However capable our divisions, our battalions and our com panies as such. success would be inn possible without thoroughly co-or- dinated endeavor. A general staff broadly organized and trained for war had not hitherto existed in our army

Generally speaking, then, this would contemplate the use of our forces against the en- emy somewhere in that direction, but the great depots of supply must be centrally located. preferably in the area included by Tours, Bourges and Cha teauroux, so that our armies could be supplied with equal facility wherever they might be serving on the western front.
