The Battle of the M euse-Areonne

Twas the twenty-sixth of September.
The night had swiftly flown.
We had marched up through the timber
To the battle of the Meuse-Argonne
We were standing on the parapet,
The dawn had lighter grown.
Then we heard noise like thunder,
Twas The battle of the Meuse-Argonne.
We were advancing rapidly
Through rain, rock and stone.
The troops poured in steadily
To the battle of the Meuse-Argonne.
We faced their deadly shrapne
Without murmur
And many fell upon the field
In the battle of the Meuse-Argonne.
The doughboys did their duty,
But they were not alone;
Our machine guns played gallant part
In the battle Of the Meuse-Argonne.
The artillery pounded fiercey;
It had deathike tone.
They supported us with good barrage
In the battle of the Meusc-Argonne.
They fed us on canned Willie"
The meat without bone.
And we surely missed our coffee
In the battle of the Meuse- Argonne
The morale of the Boche was broken
That was plainly shown,
And drove them back to 'Tronsol Farm"
In the battle of the Meuse Argonne.
The Grown Prince got excited,
His dad most left the throne;
And it set the Boche to thinking
That battle of the Meuse-Argonne
Now the war is over,
The Huns wild oats are sown.
And we've been busy policing
Since the battle of the Meuse-Argonne
When we're back in old America;
When We have older grown;
We can sit and tell our children
About the battle of the Meuse-Argonne.

Tests of Cotton in 1918

The Alabama experiment station tested at Auburn p varieties of short staple cotton. The preceding crop was soy beans cut for hay and for seed. The winter cover crop was rye plowed under for soil improvement early in March. The soil is sandy loam upland.
 mixture of 160 pounds of acid phos- phate. 160 pounds cotton seed meal and 20 pounds of sulphate of potash per acre was applied before planting; on July 9 a side dressing of 100 pounds of nitrate of soda was made.
 On April IS the seed were dropped in checks 2l inches by 3la feet and the plants were thinned to one in a hill. The cotton was given frequent shallow cultivation until the first of August.
 Boil weevils were found on June 2O A systematic picking of both weevils and fallen squares was followed till July 2o The damage done by weevils was thought to be small.
 The yields are calculated to a uniform stand. In addition to repeating each va = riety, each fifth plot was planted in Cook No. 1910 to show any differences Of soil fertility. The first column shows the per cent of the crop picked August 2T; the second column gives the pounds of lint cotton per acre; and the third col umn shows the total money value per acre of seed at s6s per ton and lint at 30 cents a pound in each variety:

Hog Shipment From Bibb

Bibb county has fololwed in the wake of other Alabama counties, and made their first carload shipment of hogs out of the county last week. Special mar keting Agent Wells of the Alabama eX- tension service, in conjunction with the county demonstration agent. Eric Also brook at Centerville. arranged for the marketing of two cars of hogs from Bibb county. These hogs were shipped co-cperatively from Centerville and Brent by a number of farmers. They have been fed on corn and forage crops other than peanuts. As far as known it was the first shipment ever made from Bibb county in carloads.
 It will be remembered with interest il at the first cooperative shipment of hcgs in carloads in Clarke county was made last week through the marketing specialists of the Alabama extension ser vice at Auburn, the carload having been handled by the Union stock yards at Montgomery and having netted the CO., operative shippers something over $l5,Oo0 , The increasing ability of Alabama farmers to market their hogs in this manner is causing much favorable com ment

How to Start. With Geese

Buy breeding stock or mate the fowls several months before the breeding sea son, which is in early spring. Breed- CTS should be at least 2 years old. They are best when from 3 to years old. Females are usually kept until they are 1o to IA years old, as long as they will lay well, but ganders are not gen. orally kept after their eighth or ninth year. Begin feeding for egg production dur ing the latter part of winter Eggs are
 then available for early matching and the gosings will be ready to graze as soon as good grass pasture is ready. The period of incubation varies from 2S to 90 days.
 | Four to six eggs are set under a hen 1 and 10 to 13 under a goose. Goslings | should not be allowed to go into water, especially if the weather is cold, until
 they are several days old Hens with goslings should brood them from to
 10 days, when they arei able to take care l Of themselves.

Demonstration Plans

Leaders in B northern and western states have recommended the following projects for immediate work by the home demonstration agents:
 Continuation of the thrift campaign, the foundation for which was laid in war conservation work. This is especi- ally necessary while prices remain high and wages tend to return to lower levels. It is imperative that the whole nation unite in developing habits or thrift.
 Q Home production of food.
 Increased home conveniences.
 Marketing of products of home indus tries.
 Continuation and extension of food work naugurated by the food admlnis- stration with special emphasis on nutri- tion.
 Continuation of the work started by the childrens bureau so as to empha- size the importance not only of proper feeding, but of right sanitary condl- tions and care of infants and children.
 Teaching of home nursing, the need for which was demonstrated by the in fluenza epidemic and the shortage or nurses. s.t
 Improvement of living conditions or women in industry and of families re- ceiving public benefit such as given by the civilian relief of the Red Cross or by the state (mothers' pensions) Development of better housing condl- tions, as a continuation of the improve ,nent of standards set for laborers Ill war industries
 Work with foreign women in both rural and urban districts to aid Tn Americanization

When to Breed Heifers

Ordinarily it is planned to have the heifer enter the milking herd between 24 and 30 months of age. No arbltrafN time can be set, as this depends upon several factors, such as the slze ana condition of the animal and the breed to which she belongs. Underslzed ana ill-conditioned animals should be ai- lowed more time to complete thef growth and to improve in condition before entering upon the strain ot calving and the ensuing 1actation period. It is very important that the heifer make a good growth before she is bred, because after that time she will make little body growth until after she has completed her first lac tation period.
 If heifers are bred to heavy bull, care should be taken to see that they are not permanently injured Often times a breeding rack is found to be Of advantage; such rack is inexpensive and easily constructed. better plan is to use young bulls on. the heifers, which eliminates danger of injury.

HOUSTON SEES PROSPERITY

Peace finds American agriculture on a substantially sound foundation and de- veloping in the right direction, the Secre- tary of Agriculturee, D. F. Houston, said In an address to the Association of Amer ican Agricultural Colleges and Eperi- ment Stations at Baltimore, Md. But much remain to be done in this field, he said, because this fundamental part of the nations industrial life will not stand still
 ''We shall have our troubles,'' the sec retary said I've shall be concerned with numerous proposals from the en- thusiasts with limited knowledge and less sense of direction. We shall be peStered by the narrow, selfish partisan and by the demagogues-the farmers of the farm CTS their pretended self-consttuted friends. These are already in evidence and are revealing for ends of their own willingness to attempt by misrepresenta- tions and cheap appeals to prejudice to injure great constructive agencies, such as the state agricultural colleges and the federal department. They will not make much headway. The American farmers are not easily fooled and we may trust them to assess these people and their motives at their real worth.
 We, especially, representing great agencies of the state and federal gov esSNiC'.NN tasks, and unleO I am greatly mistaken they will not be tasks of reconstruction, but rather of further construction, of se- lection, and emphasis am confident that the agriculture of the nation is on substantially sound foundations and is developing in the right direction. Many experienced and disciplined minds ani agencies in all parts of the country have , Zealously been studying the problems for | many years with increasing effectiveness during the last generation. and it would surprise me if it should appear that many novel steps of large proportion will need 1 to be taken"
 1 Because of a shorter actual participa- | ton in the war and it's freedom from such ! de va st ation. as in Europe, the secretary l said that America's relative position, in' dustrially, financially. socially, and gov ernmentally, is stronger than 1t was rive years ago He quoted estimates showing l that the European belligerents. exclusive | of the Balkan states and Turkey, los

Growing Better Hogs

The farmers of west Alabama are making rapid progress in improving their hogs, as shown by the excellent results obtained in selling hogs from this section. Cooperative shipments from Halye, Marengo and Pickens coun- ties have furnished top hogs at East St. Louis during the past few weeks. These shipments were made through the efforts of the county agents, and the farmers are well pleased with the results.
 w. F. Osborne. county agent of Pick ems county. reports very successful shipment on January 7. These hogs were loaded at Ethelville. Ala. They
 were corn-fed and most of them brought the top price on the East St Louis market the day they were sold the best hogs bringing $17.So per hun dred pounds. These hogs average $16.b( net for the farmers, after paying freight and commissions.
 Shipments from Hale and Marenge countries have been equally as success ful, showing that the farmers in ths Black Belt of west Alabama can sel their hogs to as good advantage a: any section of the country.

SELF-FEEDERS PROFITABLE
For Better Cotton

Because the best yielding varieties of cotton produce 20, 30, and even 10 per cent more than the poor varieties, as shown by experimental results. cam paign is being waged in Louisiana by the state agricultural college, in co-op- eration with the United States depart ment of agriculture, to secure the plant ing of only high yielding varieties It is emphasized that whatever variety is planted, it should be pure; that is, every stalk should be similar in appearance and in productive capacity to every other stalk. The mixed or hybrid variety will never do this, for many of the stalks will be barren or will be shy" pro ducers. It is also emphasized that the cotton grower should not depend wholly upon improved seed as his means for increasing yields. for a fertile soil is the most important feature in successful cotton growing. Tt is a very poor pol icy," say officials in charge of the cam Npaign, ito plane very poor land in cot ton at all

Selling Stacker Hens

saving of SIT, ,SOe worth of grain was effected by the culling out of stacker hens in 45 counties of Missouri as the result of poultry -culling campaign con- ducted by the United States department of agriculture and the state college of agriculture The demonstrations were attended by I17,145 persons. total of 1888 flocks were culled, representing "A. 446 hens examined. which resulted in the elimination of 2S2,69S low producing hens that otherwise would have been per mitted to remain on the farms as con sumers of grain. The estimated saving probably is too low. as it was assumed that each culled hen would have paid for her keep after February l. which is probably not the case.

Peanuts for the Trade

Marketing agents of the Alabama eX- tension service forces have just made a valuable arrangement for handling peanuts of quality for the high class confectionery trade. Where the oil mill prices current at this time have been from $S5 to S97, the extension service agents sold three cars last week at s112.5O per ton f. O. b. shippers station. The buyer took the grades of the eX- tension service agent as well as the weights of the county demonstration agent, thus making distinct conces- sion to the service which will be or great financial value to Alabama grow CTS.
 Of course, these peanuts were high class. grading 75 per cent of sound meat and above, the value of each car being considerably over s2000. Two cars were furnished by Barbour coun- ty and one by Bullock county, all going to the South Carolina confectionary trade.
