Ixmdon, Nov. 3.?The Turkish army is in full retreat on Constantinople and! the Turkish government has asked the powers to Intervene In the Turkish-i Balkan war. An otllcial bulletin was Issued by the government at Constantinople to night admitting defeat at tho hands of the Bulgarians In the great battle on the Thracean plains, application was made to the embassies in Constanti nople tonight for mediation by the powers to end the hostilities and ar range a peace agreement. The ambassadors, prior to this, had asked the porte to grant permission to each of the great powers to Bend i one warship through the Dardanelles and this request has been complied with. Tho only guarantee of safety for the native Christians and per haps foreigners In Constantinople is to be found In the presence of the warships of the great powers In tho harbor of the Turkish capital. It Is the general belief that Bul garia, chief of the Balkan States, will refuse to listen to anything In the way of Intervention until the Bulgarian army is at the gates of Constantinople and will insist that Turkey make an appeal direct to the allies without In terference from the powers. The powers have not been able to agree upon -the French premier's for mula of "territorial disinterestedness" which Is not acceptable to either Aus tria or Germany. They are taking steps, however, for the protection of Christians and their own political In terests in Turkey. One warship In ad dition to the vessels already dispatch ed to Turkey will be sent through the Daranelles by each of the powers. Beyond the statement that the Turkish army is Retreating to the last line of fortification outside Constan tinople there was little news received from the seat of war tonight. Fighting was reported along the line from Tchorlu to Zeral. which was the out come, doubtless, of the effort of the defeated Turks to retire within the Tchalja lines, which the Bulgarians are doing their utmost to prevent. The besieging forces are tightening their grip around Adrianople and the bombardment is becoming more vig orous, in other directions, the allies are consodlating their occupation of Turkish territory. The Greeks have taken Nlcopolis and Prevesa and have landed a division of men at Stavros. which Is marching to attack Saloniki. An uncensored dispatch front the lat ter town Intimates the likelihood of its surrender without resistance. In connection with the Servian oc cupation of Prishrend, a warning j from Austria appears in the ofllcial ; Vienna Fremdenblatt, which in the supposition that the Servians have now attained the object of their op erations toward the west says: "There are neither military nor national motives for the Servian army to penetrate the districts beyond Phrishrend which are exclusively In habited by Albanians, that Is. there fore, into the undeniable territory of another Balkan people. .lohn II.

GROWING 0AT3 October ths Beat Month for Planting Oats In the South?Compares Wall In Profit with Corn [By Q. H. Alford. of I II C 8ervlco Bureau] From October 1 to November 15, according to latitude, la tbp beat time to sow oata In the cotton bolt. The area in oata should be fully as largo na that in corn. Groat enthusiasm now jrevails In regard to corn, but let us not forget that aa a feed for stock and cash crop, oats Is one of the best crops that can be grown in tho BOUth. The chief crops grown all through the cotton belt are cotton and Obrn. As an average, for the period from IHOO to 1909, there was planted from ten to fifteen acres of corn for each acre of oats in the various cotton belt states. During the same time, tho average value of the oat crop per acre was $10.09, while the average value per acre of corn was SI 1.02. Figuring the cost of growing an oat crop and a corn erop we llnd that tho oat crop was the more profitable. There are several important reasons why wo should sow miillona of acres of oats In the cotton belt. It would reduce washing and leaching to the minimum, furnish grazing, add to the deplorably deficient aupply of humus, and add to the always short aupply of feed stuffs. Of course, there nro better winter cover crops than oat8. Burr clover and crimson clover and the vetches, and In some cases some of tho other winter cereals are better. We do not claim that oats alone, or that oats and hairy vetch combined should be grow?< for the sole purpose of supplying a cover crop. However. In view of the fact that oats will grow on poor land, poorly prepared, and that It costs lit tle to Boed an acre, it Is a good win ter cover crop. Two and one-half acres were planted In oats at the experiment station at Baton Rouge, Da., for grazing experi ment on September 28. On October 29, seven poland china pigs, weighing In total 27fi pounds, were put on this plat and were given no feed but the green oats during the winter. By February 17 the pigs weighed a total of 568 pounds. There was an average gain of .37 pounds per pig per day for 110 days. From October 29 to January 1, forty-five head of sheep were pas tured on this same field. Of this number eight ewes and nine lambs were pastured continuously thereafter until February 17, at which date the lambs averaged sixty-eight days old and weighed 35.5 pounds each. Al lowing six cents per pound gained by the lambs, we have a return of $13.40 per acre, plus the pasturage of sheep not considered In the estimate. The loss of humus from the soil results in decreasing Its power to store up and properly supply crops with water. Soils with a liberal amount of humus are capable of morn effectually withstanding drought than similar soils with less humus, The oat crop fills the soil full of roots, and the stubble also adds much humus to the soil. The oaf grain Is a very valuable feed, especially for young animals, because of the moderately high con tent of protein and the largo amount of ash or mineral matter. Pound for pound, oats are not as valuable for feeding mature animals an corn, four pounds of corn being equal to about five pounds of oats. In attempting to build up worn out cotton lands we must depend very largely upon the leguminous crops. Now the ont crop In harvested enrly enough to p? rmlt tho growing of a leguminous crop. The leguminous crop may be plowed under or It may bo used as feed, and the manure re turned to the land. If we are going to build up our soils and raise good stock we must grow oat crops and fol low with legume crops. Oats will prove about ih" best paying small grain crop thai can be grown over practically the entire cotton belt. The same soil that will produce one bale of cotton or forty bushels of corn per acre will produce sixty bushels of oats per acre. At an average price that has pre\ailed for oats during 11.? past five years, the sixty bushels will sell for from $36 to $40 and the straw when baled will often pay for growing the grals. After using the disk harrow to cut tho corn stalks or cotton stalks, plow i tho land deep, then disk and double disk and harrow and cross harrow until every inch of the soil has been stirred and broken as fine as possible. A mixture of 300 pounds of sixteen psr cent acid phosphate. 100 pounds of cotton seed meal, and 200 pounds of potash, followed In March with a top dressing of fifty to seventy-five pounds of nitrate of noda per acre, Is good fertilizer for oats on average soil. Tho best varieties for fall sowing in tho south are of the red rustproof type. The original rod rustproof, , the Appier and the Bancroft, are so nearly alike that no one can tell them apart if sown side by aide. Tbe Burt oat is for spring sowing. There are three methods commonly practiced in planting oata-sowing broadcast, open furrow, and drilling. Drilling of the seed Is to be preferred, since considerably less seed may be used If drilled by machine; the seeds are covered at a uniform depth, corns up, grow, and ripen uniformly, tho small ridges made by the drill afford a slight degree of protection from cold; and the yield from drilled oats is usually greater than from broad cast oats. The seed saved, and the larger crops that usually result from drilled oats will soon pay tor a good drill on tho farm. The now remedy for Indigestion call ed "Digestif has been found a certain quick relief and permanent remedy for stomach disorders. Letters from thousands who had suffered the tor tures of indigestion and got relief from the use of Dlgestlt are evidence of Its merit. Tho enormous Incroase In demand from every part of tho country Is proof of Its popularity.
