The work Of the dairy branch OF the
extension force, now composed OF
Messrs, Higgins, Ferguson and Miller,
has been one of the most serviceable
factors In ushering in this era OF dairy
progress. This division, for example,
in two years assisted Mississippi farm
ers in purchasing purebred bulls valued
at more than $4,000. purebred cows
valued at more than $4,000, and grade
COWS valued at more than Sl6,O0O.
Mr.. Higgins and his associates have

valued in the aggregate at $500.

tered near the hut, all anxious to catch
a steamer home, by the way.
The chocolate can, a ten-gallOn al
fair with big brass spigot, was placed
on an empty packing case. Around the
can were discarded condensed milk
tins-the only cups available because
this hut was just starting operations.
And every infantryman was supposed
to drink as much chocolate as he de-
sired. Coffee could also he had A

villages We're completely wiped out
by intense and terrific commandments.
But when either side was making
a rapid advance the destruction of
property was considerably less. For
instance. in the great German drive Of
September, 1914, when the kaiser was
striking at Paris, very little destruc-
ton was caused, except at the places
where the terrible fighting took place
during the first battle of the Marine,
that is, along by Meaux. Sezanne,
Vitry-le-Francois and Revigny. In
other words, the destruction was worst
at the points where the battle was
turned, the scene of the fiercest fight
ing. Along the SOmme and the Aisne,
the same conditions prevailed. Here
the destroyed area Is from 10 to II
miles across in many places.
Then there was another kind Of de-
struction-tke willful kind, wrought
by German troops in some of the big
retreats. All through the war, even to
the final fights of 1915 the Germans
consistently wrecked property rather
than let it revert to the French in a
fair state of preservation.
Willful destruction in France, as a
German policy, started in the spring
of 1917, about the time America came
into the war.

the cooperation and worked by the au-
thority of the war department and the
Smithsonian institution in Washington,
and Clark university and the Worces-
ter Polytechnic institute. Compared
with it, the most powerful implements
OF modern warfare are rendered inef
fective, scientists familiar with the in
vention assert.
Under the system of propulsion
worked out by Doctor Goddard the
rocket could rise to a height above the
earth's atmosphere. where its range
would be increased greatly.
It's propulsive power-which mill
tary men say is a new contribution to
the science of ballistics-lies in an in
ternal combustion engine of high pow
err, fed either by finely pulverized
smokeless powder or charges of LIQUID
explosive at regular intervals regulated
by clockwOrk. Experiments with min
iature models conducted here have
fully demonstrated it's success against
an enemy.
Instead of requiring cannon or
mortar to start it. one man from any
spot can launch it without apparatus.
The destructive agency is in the head
OF the rocket, thotgh it can be adapted
for Photographic work rs well, the ap-
paratus being automatically released
from the rocket proper and descending
with a parachute.
In the rockets simplest form, manu-.
fac'ured at small cost foot soldier
would become the equivalent of a
field cannon for a single shot, for he
would carry on his shoulder an instru-
ment Of destruction. with it's head of
gas or high explosive, and fire it from
any point where his legs would take
him. And that would often be where
| cannon could nos be moved.
