Emergency Crops As a guide in meeting the crisis, which 1b now confronting the South, the Farm Service Bureau suggests the following, which of course, must be modified to suit local conditions: Those crops which can be used for food for man or beast, and which can be planted at once should be given immediate attention. The acreage of cot:on per plow may be maintained, ami all possible efforts should be put forth to increase the yield. Lint will bring a good price, and seed will prova valuable because of their oil. On a | L'fj-acte tract, in ten or eleven acres | of cot.on u.;.y be giver, each plow, and it is recoimr.i ntied that seven or eight acres be given to corn in which should be pla ;?ed peas, soy beans or velvet beans. The corn can be barvested, and the bcan?$ or peas given over to pasture or gathered for feed. At least two acres sin. uid be given to | soy beans or cowpeas and sorghum for hay. One acre for gracing; one acre for sorghum syrup; one p. re for sweet potatoes, and one for different kinds | of vegetables. This will give a total I of 2f> acres, and represents only the ; crops for summer planting. Winter ( grains may be seeded immediately after some of these are harvested. Everything bearing upon large \ yields should he given emphasis. Tho j land should be thoroughly prepared ; i the bt?st known varieties used; the right kind and liberal amounts of fer- ' tilizer applied, and thorough cultivation given. \ This is of special importance over much of the South where the soils are , lacking in soluble plant foods. Not less than 400 to 600 pounds of fertilj izer should be used per acre on the crops suggested. 1 On account of the car shortage and 1 the farmers' inability to secure ample ( fol't i I I '/Cir tn nn t im * V, - A .vi ...>uvi ... |sm iiiiun uirn i;ro|is )il j the time the land was being prepared, it is recommendd that a liberal side application of fertilizer be used on all ( crops a'ready planted.

While the artillerists of the French and British armies continue .o hurl thousands of projectiles into the German lines from Lens to ease jf Auberive, in Champagne, the entente forces repulsed counterattacks and make more progress at some points. The artillery activity is reported most inte nse near Arras, south of t . Quentin, ami on the Ajsne ;.nd Champagne fronts in the regions of So / ons and Kheims. German guns . "o replying to the entente fire at >ovr.e points. During the two weeks of ihe Arg'o rhench offensive on the northern a d southern sectors of the centre of t 10 battle line in France, the Germans '.e st more than .*>.'1,000 priso ners and ."GO guns, larger than machine gunr. Monday of each ot' the last two weeks has sent the beginning el a now offensive by one of the entente armies and tin1 heavy artillery duois ot' the last two days may be the lorerunner of a new thrust against the battered German lines. Gradually tlie Fieneh advanced to ward, the Chemin des Dames, to road from Fo"t Malrtair.cn to Huit"bise, and parelleling the Ai ne, and on Saturday they progressed north of 1 Saney, near the western end of the J road. ' j French barrage fire broke up four | German attempts to attack north of j Brayo-on-Laonnois, east of Saney aid 1 south of the Chemin des Dames* *Vn Champagne only artillery activity is reported. British artillery also repulsed a German attempt to recapture the village of Connelieu, southwest of Cambrai, taken by the Fn nrh Friday night. Northwest of Lens the British pushed forward and east of Fampoux along tho north hank of the Ccrape, th.e Germans were d iwn | hack. "Friday afternoon a strong ari.ilci'y firing was commenced along- the whole river Aisnc front and also in the Champagne," said the Berlin communication. From this assumption it seems warranted that the French guns are blazing a way for the infantry \Vith a bombardment of ihum fire intensity. The whole front * " 11it- new r ronch offensive movement is included Vithin this field and tlie infantry attack seems not unlikely to be resumed along the entire line. Should a break be effective by ("Jen Nivolle at any one of the numerous danger points for the Germans lhi this front something approaching t disaster for them would result, the .east effect of which would be a further enforced retirement. As for the Hritish, the Deri in resort also indicates that they are ibout to resume their drive in the \rras battle.
