WASHINGTON, July 18. (A

At 4:35 o'clock In tho half light

of smashing drive's wliitli marked
the turnliiR point of tho world wnr.
Just prior to this hip countor

On tho night of July 17 the nl

v The Germans, surprised by (he

"(but lu tho afternoon, receiving re
. lpforcements, fought furiously for
every font of ground nnd took a
' heavv loll. Tho first division was.
checked at tho Missv-Aux-Dnls rn-!
vino when a French division on tho
left, unable to keep up, exposed
the flank of tho second brigade to
enfilading fire from tho ravine. Wy
iiiirhtfnll, however, contact had
been established, Missy was tnken
and the Hne established half a
kilometer beyond It.
Pesplto exhausting marches, the
second division advanced steadily,
" and took Vlcray In the afternoon.

of the dny was made there. Far

July 19 the attack was resumed,
the Germans offering aU;!.Lc:h re

AGENT'S LETTER
ny SEYMOUR JONES
Two weeks uso our bulletin con
tained a synopsis of the national
republican platform with relation
to agriculture, and herewith is
Riven a digest of the democratic
declarations on the subject:
"There is need or supplemental
legislation for tho control and or
derly handling of agricultural sur
pluses, In order that the price of
tho surplus may not determine the
price of the whole crop. Agriculture
must be effectually aided. Farm
rollcf must rest on the basis of an
economic equality of agriculture
with other Industries. To give this
equality ii remedy must 3-d found
which will Include: (a) credit aid
by loans to cooperatives on at least
as favorable, a basis as the, govern
ment aid to the merchant marine;
(b) creation of a federal farm
hoard to assist the farmer and
stock raiser in the marketing of
their products as the federal re
serve boiiril hna done for tho
bnnker and the bUKlncsii man; (c)
.reduction. '. through. government
agencies of the ..spread .'between
what the farmer and stock raiser
gets, and tho ultimate i consumer
pays, wllli consequent benefit to
both. Wo pledge tho parly to i'os
.tor, juuj .cleyolop .cooperative" mar
keting "associations through appro
priate government aid.'.' i - : ; -
More Wool Better Handling
. The season's' receipts of wool so
far at tho warehouses of the Pa
cific Cooperative Wool .Growers,
Portland, have boon moro than 20
per cent greater than at the same
period last year. Uesldos that, the
orsunization has received 525 new
members owning about 100,000
sheep and goats. The' graders of
tho association report that there Is
a noticeable Improvement each
year in tho way tho members pro
pare and pack their wool for ship
ment, which shows tho good re
sults of the ediioatlonal work In
methods of shoarlng, tying and
packing fleeces which has been
carried on the past few years.
Friendly Contest for Growth
Tho Washington Orango Nowa
says that n closo race is on be
tween threo of tho big Orange
states of. tho country. Ohio, Wash
ington and Oregon, as to which
will organize tho largest number
or new Oranges during 1928. So far
It Is nip and tuck, but Washington,
which headed the list In Uti7, Is de
termined to retain the distinction
ror another year. It Is predicted
that not Jess than 100 new subor
dinate Oranges will be organized
in these three states during theJ
present calendar year.
Cost of Raising Sugar Beets
The Kalem Statesman has re
cently renewed Its recommenda
tion Tor the raising of augar beets
on lands convenient to Salem, on
some of which Irrigation Is pos
sible. In this connection a recent
Investigation made by tho Uul
I'ulverslty of Ohio relative to the
coHt of raising the sunar beets will
be of Interest, or 23 farms report

Fighting the Cherry Fly
Cherry growers are advised to
begin spraying to combat the
cherry worm or cherry fly, -which
Is now making Its appearance. Tho
spray which may be used for this
purpose contains this ratio of in
gredients: Two quarts cheap
molasses, hnlf pound lead arsenate
and ten gallons of water. Appli
cation should be made as soon as
the fly appears, spraying as muci
as a quart on the outer leaves of
each tree. Tho flies feed upon
this, provided care is exerclsej
that no foreign subHtnnco Is mlxeJ
with It to antagonise them. The
second application should follow
about ten days after the first
and tho third a .week Inter.
; Wool Men Doing Well
Eastern Oregon sheep owners
are enjoying a successful season,
especially with their wool. In Har
ney county, sheep and wool form
the , biggest Item of production
since the cattle industry collapsed.
At tho town of Crane',' says tlie
American, about a million, pounds
of wool was shipped this year, for
which, the) growers received 32 to
34 cents a pound for the early
clip, and 35 to 3fii cents for the
later shearing. Tho greater part
of this wool wont diroct to Boston,
but about 25 por cent of it camo
to Portland.
Northwest Wheat Crop
The Portland Commercial Ho
view of late gives tho condition of
tho wroat crop at various promin
ent points in the northwestern
states and sums up Its observa
tions thus: "We would say off
hand that tho crop is 20 to 25 por
cent lower than a year ago. 4)n
this basis, wo should have a norm
al crop of around 70,000,000 bush
els of wheat In Oregon, Washing
ton and northorn Idaho. We doubt
whether this will bo execeeded,
with the chance of it going still
lower If hot weather should come
too soon." s
Some Big Bugs There
A grain dealers' convention was
held In Walla Wnlla recently and
tho grain inspectors' end of it was
evidently n vorry "Impressive"
part, with Oregon holding Its own
with dignity. An account of tho
proceedings states: "Grain in
spectors were there in force. The
state grain Inspection department
of Oregon, led by C. W. Wright,
made an impression, with Its array
of 200-pounders. After lining up
the inspectors nil of them over
200 pounds It was suggested that
grain dealers make their 'com
plaints' vory brief hereafter."

Great numbers of Dodge sixes
are now seen on the highway, and
one very noticeable thing is that
a large percentage of them are
driven by women. They come
from almost every state in the
union and many of them are heav
ily luden with baggage and travel
ing equipment.
The sales of Dodge Brothers
curs this year huve increased sub
stantially over last your In the na
tion. In Oregon, while tlie sale of
all automobiles is considerably less
than last yeur, the number of
Dodge Brothers cars has greatly
increased over last year. Locally,
the sale of Dodge Brothers curs Jh
ahead of lust yeur.
"While we have half the sales
men we had last year, our deliv
eries have increased over the de
liveries of last year," stated Mr. J.
O. Newland, local dealer. "This
Is due to the instant public favor
accorded our six cylinder automo
biles. The best evidence of the
popularity of the new cars Is the
fact that we have had more sales
with fewer salesmen."
"Women drivers especially like
the new curB because of their ex
treme ease of handling and instant
response to the throttle nnd brakes.
Steering Is effortless with the ball
bearing mechanism. Women are
very particular about the perform
ance of their car and the fact that
they in such large numbers are se
lecting Dodges Is wonderful tribute
to the car."
