years. Frequently buddies have submitted
rough sketches Of the particular battlefield con-
cerned as they remembered it.
IT is difficult to overeStimate or overappreciate
= the vast service which the Government has
rendered to hundreds of families of missing
soldiers through the recovery work of the
American Graves Registration Service. From
January /, 1924, when the American Graves
Registration Service became fully organized
until october /, 1929, $50 bodies of American
soldiers, either missing or unknown, have been
recovered or identified
Perhaps it would seem that the work should
be entirely finished with the wars end now
IL years removed, But the records belle that
supposition. The most recent figures in the
American Graves Registration Services un-
relenting search for the legion of the missing
show that no less than Sc missing Americans
were found from July, 1928, to october, 1929.
The list of those remaining to be found is
still large. There were 1894 American soldiers
whose bodies had not been recovered on October
l, 1928. On the same date there were 1915
bodies Of American soldiers that had not been
IDENTIFIED total of 2,s1o INDICATED or un-
known soldiers
The quest then, Is far from being finished
There are still nearly 5000 cases-Some of them
an inch or more thick in documents-which
remain as a challenge to earnest investigators
who refuse to accept the words missing" and
uHkIOWl on L1cH lace VaIue. But IN the
last few years the task Of the American Graves
Registration Service has, of necessity, been cur
tailed Where formerly four or five sectors were
being worked, there are now only two-Chateau-
Thierry and the Meuse-Argonne. The only way
to avoid abandoning many cases which still
might be solved is for more funds to be forth
coming from Washington. The men in the
field have followed apparently hopeless trails
and turned them into successful conclusions for
too many years to admit that all those missing
and unknown need remain so on the official
records. They say that, given the necessary
appropriation, they can yet tear aside the veil
of mystery and uncertainty from many an
American doughboy's fate. And for every one
brought back" there is cross of glistening
white marble waiting in one of the several
most beautifully kept war cemeteries in the
world--the American cemeteries in France.

body and one with Mastersons body and the
duplicates attached to a rude cross which
erected over the graves, My report of their
death and burial location sent in through the
regular channels"
In these three letters were contained virtually
all the information that the Government had
been able TO secure since Corpl. Masterson was
marked tx. ]. A.-body INDICATED" in the Army
records. Every missing or unknown American
soldier Of the World War has file book with
his name on it and all the available facts
relating thereto in it-one such book in Wash
ington and similar one with the American
Graves Registration Service in France.
In the few months Immediately after these
letters we're written the bodies of soldiers taken
from the locality where MaSterSon was said to
have been buried were examined and checked
with his dental chart. Each time there was
insufficient data for Identification.
Therefore Col. F. w. Van Duyne who until
recently was in charge of the American Graves
Registration Service in France and who di-
rected its organization for years. ordered field
investigators to search the vicinity where Pvt.
Shaner was shown to have been buried. On
June 8, 1925, the chief investigator in the
Mouse Argonne sector reported as follows:
The body Of Corpl Robert A. Masterson.
Company @. 7th Infantry. has been found in
an isolated grave in the Beau de Beuge, near
Nantillois. It has been identified by T. o. b.
(tag on body)."
The report adds that the grave was found
about 10 feet in front of what had been a
first-aid station, as many medical supplies were
found in the vicinity. Burial had been made
at depth Of half foot and the tag for the
body was found on a piece of telegraph wire
which had been wound around the body.
Alongside Corpl. Mastersons grave was. an
empty grave, from which no doubt Pvt. Shaner's
remains had been exhumed.'
Thus the Red Cross majors information,
written from memory seven years later, proved
correct in every detail, even to the fact that
the grave was about 10 feet from the temporary
first-aid station.
Corpl. MaSterson's case covers a relatively
short space OF time, chiefly because Of the
good memories Of those whose leads contributed
to the recovery of his body. Dozens Of other
cases might be cited where recollections, natu-
rally enough, were hazy or SO general as to
necessitate a search extending over six or eight

is native to the eastern sections of the United
States, although in its present form it is a
product of the European horticulturists
The Summer phlox thrives best in a sandy.
moist soil, and its propagation is simple. Some
varieties spread by means of stolons, which pro-
duce large punches, while others are propagated
by means of cuttings set out in the Fall All
varieties, however, may be made to yield larger
paintings by digging and cutting the roots into
small sections, an inch or two in length, scat
tering them over the surface of light soil and
covering them with quarter of an inch or so

was natural enough in trench filled with Ger

where Americans had been buried in German

taking them altogether. You see. when the
Heinies began running short of good Shoes

bodies without shoes we know it's ten TO one

ON both sides of the Atlantic the search goes
on. In France investigators such as this
man, men born to be detectives, take the
slenderest of threads and follow through a
maze of Uncertainties, over trails now more
than IL years old, until success has come or
the last lead has been exhausted.

Side-Line Farm Incomes

A SIDE-LINE income, one Of those desirable
sources of revenue which seem to provide
the needed cash for emergencies arising mex-
pectedly, is provided for farmers in the produce
ton of sour cream.
This type of dairying is particularly adaptable
30 farms which copcentrate on some other prod
uct, but which find ample pasture land to keep
from 6 to IL cows The handling of this NUM-
Der of cows requires comparatively little labor,
and yet yields an income well worth the effort.
A survey of 40 farms in Southern Georgia and
Southeastern Alabama was carried on by the
Department Of Agriculture, and the figures In
dicated an average income from the dozen or
less cattle of $805 per year. The farms studied
carried on cotton, tobacco, truck and peanut
crops as the main source of income.
Naturally, the family of the farmer needed
dairy products, and it was found little more
effort to provide for several cows than for one.
These cows produced not only the revenue cited,
but gave to each family, for home consumption,
$500 in dairy products and left over $40 worth
of skim milk for pig and other stock feeding.
This made the yield per farm approximately
$1,100, sum not to be sneezed at as a side-lne
income.
The sour cream produced was sold for butter
purposes and could be handled with much less
effort than milk for the fluid milk trade where
low Tactic acids bacterial count is vital.

Federal turkey experts became so alarmed
recently Of the steady decline in turkey pro-
duction IN the United States that they sought
other species of wild turkeys in South America
and Mexico for introduction into this country
These species of birds have been reared with
more or less success on Sapeloe Island, Ga,
but many years of research will be required be-
fore the birds are definitely established in large
numbers.
There is great deal of transformation as to
the origin of turkeys. The birds at one time
were supposed to be natives of Turkey in Asia
The fact, is that turkeys are natives of North
and Central America, and formerly all of them
were wild birds. They were introduced into

Europe by the Spanish conquistadores upon
their return from America early in the sixteenth
century. This return CHANGED to be concurrent
with the return to western Europe Of soldiers
from the Crusades, and many people developed
the notion that the birds were Turkish trophies
brought back from the land of the Turks.
Wild turkeys are still found in Mexico Texas
and Arizona, and other scattered parts of the
West and South. They are scarce east of the
Mississippi and north of Virginia or Kentucky.
The wild turkey nests on the ground, commonly
laying about IL eggs OF creamy white color. The
young are at the mercy of many enemies, and
the adults that survive have become nearly
exterminated In America.
The turkey crop this year has been estimated
by the. Department of Agriculture at ap-
proximately per cent larger than last years
crop. The larger increases are in the Western
States. particularly Washington, Oregon, Cali
