FRENCH COOK WRITES
 HIS WAR MEMOIRS

PARlS-Thc latest war reminis- censes to be printed are those of the 'chef' who presided over the destinies of the French general staff during the battle Of the Marne and who prepared the simple but abundant menu that marshal, then General Joffre sat down to at very irregular hours.
 If the chefs culinary accomplish ments were not superior to his liter ary talent then one pities poor Gen. Jotfre and it must have been a re- lief to the commanders -in-chief ia leave the mess table and return to the battle line.
 During the battle of the Maorne, says the chef" the general put away enough food to feed three ordinary men, Then he adds naive ly: q hope Monsieur le Marshal won't mind what l say about the general.
 
 One of the most amusing incl dents related to the chef is that on Sept. 12, when it became clear that the enemy was in full flight north ward and that the battle was won congratulations were in order and he received instructions that the menu for the dinner would be as much of a banquet as his raw material would permit.
 Just as the meal was about to he completed q British automobile came up to headquarters with basket Of champagne as token of cOngrat. ulation to the French staff. It came from a British unit ''in liaison. , The chef was just getting ready to serve it when he noted that the bottles bore German mark and he informed the officers of tho fact. That worthy forbade him tC serve the champagne to the staf and ordered him to throw the bottles away. We did" says the chef, but only the next morning and they
 were empty"

The oil survey has already been started and is being conducted by the Fed hoped that the results of this sur vey will be ready for publication within a few months.
 One of the most important results of Mr. Small's visit was the pro mise of the Bureau of Soils of the Federal Department of Agriculture to assist more thoroughly in the soil survey of the state This has been going on for several years, but only 15 counties have been there being 2 or 2 coun- ty area completed each year The government agreed to double it's activities this year, at least, and he extent to which this work will )e carried on depends largely upon
 he ability of the State Experi-a nent Station To cooperate. The results of the survey will be pub
 ished on maps so large that the nature of every foot of soil in the state will be shown.
