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 (

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. Increase of crop ^
yields will come with increase in q-uan- '
titr of fertilizer used. 1

While the artillerists of the

the German lines from Lens to ease
jf Auberive, in Champagne, the entente
forces repulsed counterattacks
and make more progress at some
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

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
