Cotton Seed Meal, Hulls and Fertilizers 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. S. S. Convention.
