"There Sit the Strait of Dover It narrows to 20 miles, with a mere 22inlle jump between Cajals and the British jHirt of Dover. Home 20 miles westward along the French coast, however, the channel widens to leave a gap of 30 miles between ftoulogno and the nearest English port, FolkStone. At Dieppe, the next French port to the west, the dlstanco to the coast of Britain Is 06 miles. Farther west at lasHavre, vital French port opposite Brighton, the channel Is 85 miles wide. These distances represent an estimated flying time for bombers of about six minutes to England from Calais, eight minutes from Boulogne, 16 from Dieppe, and 21 from Lellavre.

The constriction at Cherbourg leaves a mere 82 mile Intervening between the British port of Portsmouth, and a narrower 55 miles between Alderney, the northernmost channel Island, and the nearest point to the English coast. The western "puff" however, widens to a distance of 157 miles or 38 minutes between St. Malo and Southampton, Britain's largest channel port. The western end of the channel Is more than 100 miles wide, and nearly twice as deep as the eastern extremity. i ne east cnannoi coast or rmgiana, most exposed to attack from France, contains a large fraction of the 4,500,000 Englishmen living in the six counties and islands bordering the channel." mayor says roads open to savannah Savannah.

FEEDING CATTLE ON GRASS AND COTTON SEED MEAL The following Information whs recently issued by Educational Seri vice, National Cottonseed Product? j Association. In view of the growing Interest in beef cattle In Coust Line territory in the Carolina? 1 am circulating this information throughout die territory feeling that it will bo qt real interest to many farmers. "Recent research shows that beef cattle do not have to be fatteued on Iowa corn to produce palatable and nutritious beef, but ruther that If we will use better sires in the production of our market cattle, satisfactory beef can be produced from our own Southern pastures, roughages and cottonseed meal," Professor E, H. Hosteller, North Carolina State Collogef* has said lu stressing beef cattle production with cotton. With a long growing reason for grasses and greater stress on Improved pastures, the finishing of beef cattle on grass Is proving an economical and profitable practice in Southern States. Added to profit from sale of beef is the value of plant food restored to the pasture land without labor in handling manure. Larger returns from cattle fed concentrates on grass than from straight grasser" stock account for increasing use of cottonseed meal, or a mixture of meal and grain, for finishing on grass. In addition to Improving the quality of beef* this practice requires less concentrate than dry-lot feeding, faBter gains are made than on grass alone, and better market prices are secured, cattlemen point out. Cotton belt feeders have proved that cottonseed meal Is not only an economical and efficient source of protein, but, in addition, has a productive, or fattening, value that is important in feeding on grass. That good results are obtained from feeding cottonseed meal or cake on grass as the sole concentrate is shown by Alabama Experiment Station reports. Steers fed 4 to 5 pounds of cottonseed meal, dally per head, made an average daily gain of 2.47 pounds, compared with an average gain of only 1.92 pounds by those on pasture alone. The Alabama Station reported that the feeding'of cottonseed meal proved profitable in five out of six years of the test. Where feeders prefer a final finishing period in the dry lot, giving cat-^ tie a firmer finish and whiter fat, about 30 days are saved in the feed lpt if steers have been fed -about 5 pounds ol cottonseed meal, or cake, daily per head, on grass for threo or four months. ? When farm grains are- available, many feeders use a mixture of one part cottonseed meal and 4 to 6 parts qt ground grain for cattle on grass, witli excellent results. Pasture conditions and relative cost of grain determine the proportion of meal and grain fed, as well as the amount of the mixture fed to cattle, says A. Card^ell, Wilmington, N. C. SAVE MONEY BY GRAZING POULTRY Clemson, Aug. 12.?Green range provides poultry the year round with an economical source of proteins, minerals, and vitamins which murt be supplied by expensive feed supplements when the natural feeds are lacking, points out P. H. Gooding and J. W. Matthews, extension poultrymen, in Circular 185, Grazing Crops for Poultry. This new extension publication was designed to discuss the need of a good range and to point out Borne of the most suitable grazing crops for poultry In South Carolina. Copies of Circular 185 may be obtained from county agents' offices or by writing the Publications Department at Clemson. Besides the nutritional advantages, the authors state, green feed tends to keep the birds satisfied and may help to prevent feather pulling and canniablism in growing chicks and laying hens. Turkey Tips Clemson, Aug. 12?Growing turkeys should be given close attention from now until marketed, says John W. Matthrwa, assistant extension poultryman. "Growing mash and a grain mixture should be kept before the birds at all times", Mr. Matthews advises. "Turkeys are good gsazers and green food, as cowpeas, soybeans or Sudan grass should also be provided. "To prevent the birds from becoming infested with internal parasites, the rangs should be shifted every few weeks. Sick birds should be removed at once and the cauae of the _ illness determined aa early diagnosis may help to avoid eerlona loeis?." Weekly News Letter From liberty Hill p. ? i m ?
