These are depressing days for
our side in this great war. Wher

to meet the eye. It is where one

Nothing could seem much worse

in the Pacific area of warfare.
And yet all the time we are being
harried and' pushed around by the
fast moving Japs—we are building
up strength in that region which
will eventually treat them just as
they have been treating us.
Strength which will some day be

er must spread out thin to fight
delaying actions in the many dif
ferent places against which the
attacks may be launched.
While there is one base left in
any area at which we can con
centrate a powerful force—we too
can plan a campaign of attack
which can function just as has the
Japanese initial campaign. The
conditions will be somewhat iden
tical though reversed.
At the time of this writing the
French situation looks very gloomy
from our standpoint. But way
down deep in the Frenchman is
a “time honored” hatred and fear
of Germany, and a friendly regard
for the United States which prob
ably lie too deep for their politi
cian of the moment to scratch.
When the Allied armies land on
the coast of France they will
doubtless be joined by the major
ity of Frenchmen of fighting abil
ity, unless in the meantime there
is some very extraordinary change
of sentiment deep down in their
souls.
There is nothing much new in
the fundamental strategy of war
fare. * Of course modern imple
ments necessitate certain changes
in tactics, but the principles of at
tack and defense, counter-attack
and counter-defense, remain the
same. When one side musters
sufficient strength—it attacks;
and as a rule the attack progress
es until such time as it begins to
weaken through attrition, or ex
haustion, or because it has ex
tended its lines of supply to the
breaking point. Sometimes it se
cures victory before either of these
inevitables occur; but if it does
not do so—and the chance of any
such happening in this war is'
past—the counter-attack is sure
to strike when and where it is
the weakest. This has already oc
curred upon several occasions in
this present war—notably in the
German-Russian campaign and
several times in North Africa; and
there is no case in the history of
extended warfare where each side
didn’t get its “chance” at the oth
er.
There is nothing sure on .earth
and there seem to be no fixed
rules; but if the nations which are
now allied against the Axis will
stick together—the outcome of
this war is practically a foregone
conclusion. A preponderance of
men and materials will win, and
there is no better proof of this
than the fact that up to now the
Axis successes—with few excep
tions—have been made possible by
just that—a preponderance of
men and materials.
When the United Nations have
as many soldiers in the field and
the same amount of equipment as
the Axis possesses, the tide will be
gin to turn and thereafter flow
faster and faster—with occasional
backwashes. The enemy’s best sol
diers, their “shock troops,” are a-
bout used up—ours have hardly
started. The enemy’s material sup
plies are difficult to obtain—ours
are almost inexhaustible.

Farm Guide For May
Messrs. E. P. Winn and Marian Some Farmers
Winn made a hasty business trip
to Virginia and Washington last CailOppillg LjOttOll
week.
C" ’ey
To remind farmers of essen
tial farm activities in May, County
Agent G. W. Bonnette makes these
suggestions.
Agronomy
1. Do not ruin a good stand of
cotton by chopping it all out.
Leave two or three stalks every
8 to 12 inches. 2. For a profitable
investment make a side applica
tion of nitrogen to cotton soon
after chopping. 3. Plan to put
all grain stubble land into soy
beans, cowpeas, or velvet beans
for soil-conserving and soil
building crops. 4. Keep peanuts
cultivated clean. 5. Plant seed
patches for all seed needed next
year.
Horticulture
1. Sow tomatoes for July trans
planting, collard and cabbage
for August transplanting. 2.
Mulch tomatoes heavily with
straw or leaves to hold moisture
and prolong fruiting. 3. Do not j manure and destroy
cultivate beans while the foliage i places for flies,
is wet. 4. Apply nitrate of soda Animal Husbandry

May Livestock Notes
For busy farmers County Agent
G. W. Bonnette gives these timely
reminders on the proper care of
livestock for May.
Dairying
1. Plan for three tons of silage
per cow. Plant Biloxi soybeans
in row with corn. Where cane
is used, plant alternate rows of
cane and Biloxi soybeans. If
Biloxis are not available, Mam
moth Yellows may be substituted.
2. Plan for one-half to one ton of
good legume hay per cow with
silage. If silage will not be avail
able, plan for two to three tons
of bright, green-cured, leafy le
gume hay. 3. Plant enough ex
tra corn to supply eight bushels
of corn per cow this winter. 4.
Sow one-half acre of pearl millet
for each cow for soiling or graz
ing purposes in July and August
5. Do not graze permanent pas
tures too closely. 6. Clean out
the barns and premises to save
