A visit to a base showvs that it is something far bigger and more com p~rehensive than a camp; it is a dlis trict. Its center is a town of size and importance; a town whtose church spires and towers rendler it visible from a long dlistance, while its rail ways andI street car lines present a busy scene (luring all hours of the (lay andl night. There is a large civilian population, carrying on business as usual, though air raids are frequemi and, demol ished houses are constant reminders of ever-present dlanger. The Town Hall has been badly damaged, andl a shothole from a long-range naval gun can be seen in the towver. All Nations rn Plaza In the streets of the town people of all five Continents jostle each other. TIhere are the French, civilian and military; there are British troops of iall ranks and dlescriptions, even the khaki-clad wvomen of the auxiliary army corps; there are Australians, Canadians, Americans, Belgians, Chi nese, East Indlians and African ne groes. The latter make excellent transport drivers, while the Chinese tare employedl on ordinary labor of various kinds. .The sight of twvo Chineae bathing in a small puddle in a busy square, using their soap by turns a~nd drying themselves on strips of rag wvith the oriental unconcern as to all that is gomng on aroundl them, is becoming fa mailar. Tlheir camp is some distance from the towvn, and their nearest neighbors are the Inhabitants of a G;erman~ prisoner-of-wz'r ca.mp, who can be see'n daily at work ihi a leisure ly manner on a military railway. Their work im .he opecn has tannedl them to almost A frican brown, and the slendler size of their g4uardl sug gests that they are very well content ed yvith their lot am; are not at all anxious to attemp~t escape. Guns Parked Everywhere In the towni itself can be seen guns by the hundred, packed as clos. as they cnn possibly be packedl. Outside the town are other parks of artillery andl wagons and (lumps of munitions and engineering materials. There are camps everywhere, sonme for men waiting to go up the line, others for those who are employedl more or less permanently at the base, Grove's Tasteless chill Tonic destroys the material germs whieh are transmit ted to the blood by the Malra Muio.a n'i .

ASKS FARMERS TO SOW 417,000,000 ACRtES WH EAT Washington, .July 21.--The Depart - meat of Agriculture, it wvas an nouncedl todayi, has askedl farmers to sow 47,500,000 acres in winter wheat this fall. This woukl yield :approxi mately (367,000,000 bushels-the greatest winter wheat crop in history. While the reqluest specifically men tions 45,000,000 acres as the area to be sown, it asks farmers if they can not raise the total to 47,500,000 acres. The latter acreage would be a 12' per cent inerease ov'er last year andl wouldl provide abundantly for the needs of the alliedl nations. .When harvest time rolls around it will be known as the "Libert~y Wheat HaIrvest," accordling to the plan of the department. Officials also plan corre sponding increases in the p)rodluction( of spring wvheat andl livestock. The last crop report forecast a 1918 har best of 890,930,000 bushels of winter and spring wehat. If weather condli-r lions next year are favorable the 1919 i harvest of winter and spring wheat will be well over the billion mark ini bushels. F~rom the 45,000,000 acreage, how ever, a total of 6316,000,000 bushels would be .raised,. on the basis of an average yieldl of 15.7 bushels per acre and an abandonment of 10 per cent of' the area sowvn on account of winter Even wvith a normal good cr01p, such as ,is evident for this fall, tho (coun try's reserve supiply, or "carry-over, " is practically exhausted, it is saidl, Oj and at aill events is the smallest on i recordl. It's up> to the farmers this fall and next s~rmng to buildl up) a suffi- s cient reserve. This is how the department figures : some* of the states wvill have to ,in.
