Effect of Deep Flowing Produced
Upon SheII-Torn France,
Says American.
VEGETATION IS LUXURIANT
Vigorous Crops Are Growing as Re-
suit of French Patience and In
dustry-Stick to Anticipated
Tools and Methods.

New York.-The thought of deep
scars left upon the land in France
and Belgium by the trenches of the
allies and their foes has been one of
the gloomiest of postwar reflections.
To those who have feared that per-
manent harm to the agriculture of the
war-torn areas would result, the
special report made to the American
Committee for Devastated France
recently by Hal B. Fullerton, agricul-
tural director of the Long Island rail-
road, will come as a relief. For in it
Mr.. Fullerton declares that the
trenches and shellholes have accom-
plished the one thing dearest to the
farmers heart-deep blowing.
''If farmer here in America" said
Mr.. Fullerton to reporters recently,
manages to pillow to depth of four
inches he thinks he has done exceed
ingly well. For the most part, he gets
in this country is nine. Now what
has happened in France? Trenches
eight to ten feet deep, shellholes and
mined areas from fifty to hundred
feet in depth and often 200 feet square
have brought to the surface, without
disturbing it, the deep soil, containing
valuable minerals of which the top
soil, used for generations, has been
depleted. Added to these minerals is
the organic matter furnished by the
fertilization of dead beasts. Thus the
upheaval wrought by the trenches ac-
tually represents the type of cultiva-
ton advanced by practical agricul-
tural experts in America and England.
II remember one former battlefield
where the trenches had been filled in
and wheat planted. The lines of
trenches-French on one slope and
German on the other-could be clearly
distinguished because the wheat grow
ing over them was higher than the
rest and had rich green color that
showed 1t to be the best in the field.
1t was a plain example of deep plow-
ing"
Luxuriant Vegetation in Shell Holes.
Among Mr. Fullerton's many photo
graphs was one showing a huge shell
hole, perhaps q hundred feet deep, all
over the bottom of which luxurant
vegetation, including clover corn
flower and alfalfa, was growing. An
other snapshot showed untitled

trenches, with discarded ammunition
belts and rifles strewn around, the
whole place covered with grass, ferns
and shrubbery.
Another theory that Mr.. Fullerton
has exploded is that of the great harm
done to the soil by chlorine gas set
free in military operations. On the
contrary, he declared, if it has any
effect at all it is a beneficial one, for
the chlorine will attract to itself sodi-
UNI and potassium as chemical bases,
the result being some of the very salts
that are used in the making of fer
tilizer.
Mr.. Fullerton was full OF enthusiasm
over the French genius for farming.
While amused by some of the anti
quated tools and methods the peasants
employed, such as hoes with eighteen
inch handles, forcing the user to bend
his back at right angles as he works,
and obsolete Scythe sharpeners, he
failed to find that conservatism and
distrust of new things with which the
Frenchman is so generally credited.
He told of introducing to some of them
the wheeled hoe, or automatic seeder,
a device that may be used for all sorts
of work, from narrowing to weed
cutting.
Il took 1t out to a field" he said,
"where some of the French were work.
ing and started in with it. None of
them came up to look-they are too
canny for that-but l could see them
watching every motion out of the
corner of their eyes. A few days later
one old man decided to try it, and
soon he was getting so much more
done in a day than the rest that he
was the talk of the town."
"The problem Of restoring French
SOIL" according to Mr.. Fullerton's Of
fetal report, the result Of three
months in the Aisne department at
the request of the American commit
tee for devastated France, sis one Of
engineering. With the needed tractors
and implements it can easily be
brought back to its original fertility.
Among none of the farmers did l find
the slightest pessimism about their
land. l noticed also that both men.
and women had UNUSUAL mechanical
ability. They are hard workers, as
well. 1t is a common sight to see
men who have worked in factories
laboring in their kitchen gardens until
9 or 10 O'Clock at night, making the
most of the long twilights.
His Only Salvation.
1.-THE French countryman is a strong
individualist. 1t Is with great diff
Guilty that he is persuaded to cooper
ate in a community enterprise. The
present conditions, however, make this
his only salvation. With the lack of
man-power and machinery it is essen
tial that the farmers form themselves
into agricultural syndicates. The
American committee and the French
government are both fostering this

the loaning of tractors, has met with
a great deal of success.
1.-THE inhabitants of the devastated
regions are in urgent need of shelter,
and next to that variety Of food, eggs,
milk, etc, and domestic farm animals.
For the filling of the soil, they need
most a good supply Of hand or small
motor-driven cultivators and seed
drills, to be handled on a community
basis and directed by practical agri-
culturists in the various localities. The
use of the tractors, which has already
proved of great value, should be con-
tinued."
Mr.. Fullerton went to France last
April accompanied by his daughter.
He confined his tour to the Aisne dis
trict, living In the town of Bieran-
court, where the pair occupied house
used as division headquarters by the
Germans. Mr.. Fullerton's main work
was to establish a model demonstra-
ton farm, introduce American tools
and investigate conditions.

has discussed at length in q separate

Fine Grain Country.
"This northeastern section" the re-
port reads, sis a superb grain coun-
try. Wheat, rye and oats are very Wig
orous, stalks and heads large and we'll
filed; apples and pears are fair; on
ly one variety Of grapes, but vigor-
Gus; lettuce, sugar beets, asparagus,
Swiss chard, peas, broad beans and
carrots all fine; string beans, onion
and cabbage all fair; ne corn grown
at all; grass, such as red top, meadow
grass and fescues, very vigorous, in
Guiding red, white and crimson, or
Swiss clover. Therefore cattle do
well and much cheese is made. The
farms run mainly from three to fifteen
acres, cultivated often and with pains
taking care. Intensive work is the
rule.
1.-The country is much like Ohio,
long, gentle rolls and many small
streams which the French call rivers.
The soil is of the clay loan type, very
tenacious when wet and having many
small Jumps when ready for planting.
Much lime, mostly in fossil shell form,
with heavy applications of thoroughly
rotted manure, tells the story.
1.-The rainfall was only about twenty
inches but extremely well distributed,
with brief, gentle showers at intervals.
Dewfall and mist were continuous;
here were no gullies or washouts on
hillsides on account of the presence of
leavy rains.
Bread is made mostly of mixed
lark flour. Radishes, constantly
,nunched in the field and at home,
.heese, salads of many wild plants,
ohard and sugar beet tops are the
main food. Chicory coffee once day,
with light, sour, red wine, diluted
one-half in water. The people in the
devasted area are patient, cheerful
and persistent, slow moving but con-
stantly Dlodding."

PRESIDENTS WHO
HAVE USED AUTOS
Roosevelt First to Be His Own
Chauffeur; Mckinley First to
Ride in Auto.

Probably the average man has not
stopped to realize that only four of
Americas Chief Executives have had
the privilege OF riding in motor cars.
Such is the case, however.
William Mckinley was first elected
President in 1896. During his first
term the motor car was a curiosity,
staggering uncertainty about over
highways and streets. Nothing in the
performance of the cars entered in the
races then gave any hint of the
glories to come.
President Mckinley never became a
motorist in the accepted sense of the
word. He enjoyed ride in the newly
discovered transportation prodigy on
two or three occasions, but horses
were still the agents Of progression
in general use, and the White House
stable was still stable. 1t is interest
ing to remember that the motor-car
run from New York to Buffalo, was
called off enroute upon the news of
McKinley's death.
Theodore Roosevelt refused to be
confined to the tonneau of his car
during his term okoffice, and he will go
down in history as the first President
to drive a motor car.
William Howard Taft was devoted
