Spring Flowing For Cotton

Clemson College, March 20.-The
first step in getting an early crop of
cotton is to plant on well prepared
firm seed bed, according to Prof. C.
P. Blackwell, agronomist, who eau
tions farmers. in blowing land for
cotton at this season not to plow too
deep. This caution is especially ap-
plicable to heavy soils such as are
common in the Piedmont section of
this state. If these heavy soils are
plowed deep just before planting
time, they will not settle sufficiently
to give quick termination and an
early crop. While these soils need
deep plowing, it should be given in the
fall or winter and never just before
planting.

Cloas Of Trying
And Difficult Problem

-'aris, March 11.--The work of re.
turning to the United States the bod
les OF American soldiers who died in
France was completed today with .
final shipment of 1900 bodies from
Brest for New York. This brings the
total number Of American bodies re.
turned to 45,O23.
The simple announcement of the
completion of the task marks the close
OF one OF the most trying and diff.
culf problems ever placed before the
American army. The American
Graves Registration Service, the spe-
cial branch of the army organized for
the purpose, began work in February,
1920.
st. Quentin; Beuleau Wood, near
Chateau-Thierry; and the Argonne or
Romange cemetery near Romangne-
Montfaucon.
For the latter scheme has been
worked out which will make it very
much like Arlington cemetery. Each
cemetery is to have rest house and
chapel for visitors and every grave
will be marked with a uniform head
stone.
One Of the most touching features
Of the four cemeteries has been the
way in which French people have
made them their own.
Sunday never goes by without
scores of French people visiting them
and placing flowers on the graves.
This manifestation of friendship and
appreciation caused many relatives to
leave the bodies in France.
The beautifying of the fields of
honor will take two years but a great
deal of preliminary work has already
been done and the cemeteries in their
present state are impressive.
When the Graves Registration Ser
vice began it's work. the bodies were
Agents Of that service will now 90
to England and assemble 81 American
bodies destined fer shipment to Amer
lea. These were American soldiers
who died in widely scattered parts of
Ireland, Scotland, Wales and England.
Five hundred other bodies of Ameri.
cans whose relatives have decided to
leave them in England, will be con-
centrated in beautiful little perma-
nent cemetery at Brookwood, Surrey,
England, the British government hav-
ing given the site. This work will be
completed by July.
An extensive scheme of beautifica
tion has been developed by a special
Fine Arts Commission for the four
cemeteries in France which are to
be the permanent resting places of
nearly 10000 Americans who fell in
the world war. Original plans called
for the expenditure of nearly $3,O0O,-
600 but in the interest of government
economy this sum has been reduced
to about $1,OOO,OOO.
Work will begin Immediately after
this appropriation is made by con-
gress. Col. H. F. Rethers, who has
been in charge of the Graves Regis
tration work, probably will direct the
work.
The four fields Of honor are Sures
mes cemetery, near Paris; Bony, near
in more than 500 cemeteries scattered
in every part of France, Alsace- Lor-
raine and Germany. Several thousand
men were employed under the direc-
tion of American army officers.
Concentration of bodies in the four
fields of honor has been completed.
The Graves Registration Service will
maintain permanent Office in Paris
