FARMERS LOOK
FOR BIC CROP
Mercer THlers Of Ss1 Predict Ban.
ner Year for Csra and Small
Grain.

A number Of farmers in Mercer
county have made predictions for .
bumper crop for this, year. In con-
versation with an Argus reporter
this morning. one farmer Who has
lived in Mercer county all his life.
said that he never had seen corn
which showed better signs Of big
crop. He went on to relate how
although oats seemed in most
places to show very short straw. It
was we'll headed and there would
undoubtedly be . large production
Of the grain. Quoting from his own
experience. he said that potatoes
seemed only about average. The
early crop did not show . large
production and indications point
toward rather short crop OF the
late variety.
Other farmers Of the county re-
port about the same ON corn and
oats and many predict large crops
of late potatoes.

BY GENERAL pERENEY

BY GENERAL DEBENEY
(Director of the French College OF
War;
should war begin again now, avia-
tion and especially gas, would play one
of the most important parts. The
progress of aviation would make the
rear of each front and very far in,
extremely dangerous, and the progress
of chemistry would permit to use gas
on zones of such an extent that it cam
not be imagined.
but this would be the sense in
which the war would develop. much
more than the immediate effect that
would more than take place from the
besinning of hSsstilities.
Making gas is naturally readily
done because all the manufactures of
chemical products-still so numerous
in Germany-can be requistioned; but
to make airplanes is much slower.
Thus, while there will be people at
work to prepare ways of attacking, ii
ii evident that others will be prepar-
ing ways of protecting themselves. and
that means once again the race be-
tween the novice agents and the de-
fence against those agents,

the airplane, j. s. 7G of trying to hit
the machine dire lly with bits of the

Concerning the def7nsp against gas
I expect that our chnr'ists will find
some anti-gas' neutro 'Zng other gas.
But until further order I am afraid
more of gas than of airplanes, and
this, because there are no products
which can be so easily made in secret.
I'VE will be able to control the can

watch the manufactures of chemical
products. A laboratory secret a pro-
cedure carefully kept secret, and these
manufactures become tomorrow war
toxic products makers. This is the
main danger.
"As regards strategy, it could not
be much modified, as long as we have
not improved our transportation sys-
tenn. We can expect airplanes to carry
hundreds of men, but not yet whole
divisions. 1t may take place some day,
but we have not arrived there"

\ -Wnl Employ $50 Men,
About ESQ men will be employed in
Kalamazoo and there Is distinct ad-
vantage in taking over this property
as it gives TO the bort company ca
pahle artisans in woodwork.
The Kalamazoo deal does not in any
manner affect the bort company's $
building programin Flint where work
is being rushed on the new plant in
the east end OF the city. The extent
OF these plans and the scarcity both
OF material and men made it out of
the question to build a closed body
plant, and the company is fortunate
in being able to buy the Kalamazoo
property, which is ideally fitted for
the purpose.
