It is the general belief in mili1 tary circles that the big battle progressing in France will be the last major offensive that the Germans will conduct in this war. Win or lose?and there is fiercely a chance that the Germans can win?the armies of the Kaiser must assume the defensive, for America will have tipped the scale in the balance of numljera in favor of the Allies. France and England have just begun to realize the enormous magnitude of America's war preparations. They never doubttVinf pvontnflllv tho TTnifpH States would be the decisive factor in the world conflict. But they realized, also, that this nation had no war machine; ip fact knew nothing about the science of wholesale slaughter. London and Paris officially accepted our early war promises and dwelt much upon them to hearten their own people. But, privately, the French and British war offices counted on no great amount of American aid until 1919, and did not believe that the full force of the powerful western ally would be f lt until 1920. England and France, however, failed to comprehend that great American trait of "get up and get there." They had the proper prospective on our immense resources, but they judged the time it would take the United States to get ready to fight by their own speed in preparations. The American "hustle" entirely escaped them, and it was not u'litil the last month or six weeks that London and Paris realized that Washington's war schedule is something more than a bluff. The United States now has between 600,000 and 750,000 men in France, awd men are moving overseas each week at a rate the Allies thought impossible. The American soldiers are arriving in France in such great numbers that the French army has founa too much gf a job to complete the training of all the new warriors, and American troops are now being brigaded with British veterans on the famous Armentieres salient, where they are putting in the final "licks" that will make them veterans.

Columbia.?What oaa boy can do. another can do. There should be an American boy to match every German boy in producing food to teed the ar, miss fighting at the front and the families of the soldiers left at home. In Asrvnontj * " j uis ??/? mo worKing. Uo j the farm* In America, from which so many men have gone to take their j places in the fighting line, there is a : great opportunity for patriotic service ; for the farm boys not yet old enough | to fight with a gun. Their weapons are the plow and the hoe. Bryan Wlllingham, of Wlnnsboro, Fairfield cunty, first State prise wini ner in the Boys' Corn Club contest for ! 1917, has sfet the pace for the farmer boys of South Carolina. What Bryan i Wlllingham has done, other boys In j South Carolina can do. Bryan Is seventeen years of age. He has been a member of the Cora Club for several years. He has on more than one occasion won in his county contest. In 1916 he won a scholarship : to a short course In agriculture offered by Clemson College, la 1916 he i attended' the short course, when he , received valuable scientific knowledge j of soils, plants and cultural methods. which, coupled with his practical 1 knowledge, he has applied to his farming operations with marked success. He has learned well the Importance of deep and thorough preparation of the seed-bed. the value of humus in the soli, and of good and well-selected seed. He has learned the value of commercial fertilizers and how to ap I yij iu?iu ior Den ramus; ma value of frequent and shallow cultlratlpn, ' and the injurious effect of pulling tho blades or fodder from the corn. With these Important principles well fixed in his mind, he started out with the determination of succeeding, j and he did so. producing 157.1 bushels i of corn on one acre at a cost of 17.6 cents per bushel. His net profit was $187.75. This being the best record made by any member of the Boys' Corn J Club In South Carolina In 1917, Bryan j Willingham was declared State champion for that year, and woq as prises a gold medal offered by Hon A. F Lever and an International No. 4, 6; shovel pivot axle Riding Cultivator, value $70, offered by the International Harvester Company., of Columbia. The past achievements of this ! young farmer have fired hira with a i determination to do even greater i things. He will continue In tha club , work In 1918, after which it is his purpose to attend Clemson College and take the complete agricultural oourse to fit himself for successful farming, which he proposes to make hie life work. Bryan Willingham'a achievement : should prove an inspiration to the farmer boys of South Carolina. FARMERS URGED TO PLANT LATE CORN Cohimbia.?After grain is harvested, very available acre of good land should be planted in late corn, says the Food Administration. The Conservation and Production Division of the Food Administration has secured, for the benefit of those who will plant late corn, expert advice. Corn can be successfully grown, according to Clemson College experts, from Columbia to the coast when planted by the middle of June. There I ia yet time, therefore. If corn is planted after the grata crop la harvested, to add largely to the corn acreage In South Carolina, which ta greatly deslr able. Only good land should be planted In lata corn, however. The poorer land can be made to produce food by planting cow paae and peanute. It la stated that it will probably net be wIbo to plant corn after grain In the Piedmont section, because of the shorter aeaaon. For grain lands in t&la section, cow peas, soy beans and peanuts are recommended. NO REASON FOR HIOH PRICES ON WHEAT SUBSTITUTES Columbia*?The Food Admflnlstratiaa has sent out s warning ta cern millers and to wholesale and ratall dealers in corn, barley and oats prodnets that at the present prices of these j grains cornmeal and oatmeal should he selling at least twenty per cent below the price of wheat flour end that corn flour and barley flour ahonld he selling at leaat ten per cent belew wheat flour. The high levels ruling in grains as a result of car shortages end storm weather last winter have now fallen ; materially with much greater freedom I of tranaportation and the stocks ac: cumulated by manufacturers and traders at the prices ruling then should have been liquidated by this time.
