RUSSIANS FALL BACK
AS GERMANS ADVANCE
Tmitoat Dac lar*d to Hava R«»u«n«d
Offantive with Succat*.
The Germans, sccordinit t<> Berlin,
again are sweeping back the Russians,
In northwest Russia, ^where last week
the Russians were reported to be driv
ing the Germans back at point*, the
Germans now are declared to have
resumed the offensive and to have
forced the Muscovites hack to the
northeast, capturing* Z:t>4 men. An
attempt at a sortie from the fortress
of Kovno was put down and t,00t) ad
ditional men were made prisoners
In Poland the Teutons have made
a frdsh advance northeast of War
saw between the Narew and the Bug,
and Berlin declares ground has been
gained all along the fronts in the south
east.
Except for the fighting for the cra
ter made by the explosions near Bag
atelle, artillery engagements have pre
dominated in the West. The French
assert that German attempts to expel
the French from this crater have been
unsuccessful.
In the Courland Paris tells of a
French aerial squdron dropping
bombs on German bases naar St. Mi-
hiel.
Constantinoplo reports that attacks
of the allies against their right wing
near Ari Bumu on the Gallipoli pen*
insula were put down, and that Tur
kish artillery shells directed against
Anaforta plain and Seddull Bahr forced
a retirement of the allies from the
former place and destroyed their bomb,
throwing on the latter sector.
LIVESTOCK NEEDED FOR
BAUNCED AGRICULTURE
This Is ths Second Step, Say* W. W
Long, of Clemson.
(ByJ. C. Barksdale, County
Demon
stration Agent.)
To make our system of agriculture
balanced aod more efficient, we need
livestock. This, says W. W. Long, o’
a emson College, is the second step.
ist year we took the first step towards
an economic agriculti^re by sowing
grata; this fall we will seed another
great grain crop and by next harvest
season we esn proclaim to the world that
in the matter of grain, South Carolina
is feeding herself. In addition to bread
we need meat, and now let us take the
socood step and incorporate livestock,
advisee Mr. Lo*g. "7 _
Barnwell County will seed a larger
grain crop this fall than was seeded
last fhtl. We find that it pays to
raise wheat for home use and to pro
duce oats to maintain our livestock and
have some to sell. We took the first
step last year and we arejeading the
State in taking the second step. Thirty
head of pure bred Hereford beef cattle
are to be imported into the county this
fall. This is significant. It means that
the farmers of Barnwell County are
entering upon a better system of diver
sified agriculture and that we see the
need of better livestock. If there is
nut one of these bulls coming into your
community, you should get your neigh
bor to cooperate and place one in your
neighborhood. The county agent will
render you every assistance possible.
Plan for Cover Crop.
The amount of commercial fertilizer
that will be used next year w ill probably
be less than that used this year. With
this as a fact, what are you planning to
do t wards maintaining the product-
iveness of your soil? You should not
be satisfied without a coat of green
over your fields this fall. Next to the
clovers and vetches comes rye as a
cover crop and soil builder. Farmers
tell us that they can see a marked dif-
fereuce in their crop where a growth of
rye was turned under last spring. We
advise sowing rte as a step towards
getting humus into the soil for grow
ing the more important winter legumes
—clover and vetch. Our soil ordinarily
does not contain sufficient organic
matter nor does it carry the required
bacterial inoculation to grow the clovers
and vetches. This should stimulate us
to get our soil in the proper mechanical
coqdition to grow the winter legumes.
They, are too importent not to have
on the farm.
