I received mail today and again I was disappointed as I didn't get any .etters from you and haven't for a long time. Tiny is a pretty good place, we have all kinds of sport watching the air battles. Already today we have :;ot seven of old Frlts's planes in this immediate vicinity and had ought to get three or Jour more be fore night. This war will soon break Fritz in trying to supply our aviotors with machines to bring down. The Americans are sure good aviators and go after all of the Bocfce machines. Old Fritz dropped a few shells in around us, wounding one of our men and killing one Frenchman and a few Amex, and one came close enough to knock me over and I was rather flighty for several hours. One of the boys just said "Hiatt, you are going to lose your horseshoe some day." These few lines leave me well and hope all at home are the same. This is sure a great offensive and some terrible hard fighting Is going on now. This is a very Important place and means a whole lot toward the defeat of Germany, which Is not far away now. Our division had to be brought ln again to. start the Germans and right now we are on soil that the Allies haven't been on for over three years. Well, Dad, I sure wojht love to be home to patUke of a ew mcro home cookeJ m-als like ;-u asi mother put up when we- lined to go out from Portland.

Application of 10 tons of manure per acre increased the net profits ovor untreated areas by $10. an acre, with beans the net profits from like treatment were 59-99 an acre over the untreated plot. The fertilizer had a greater value when used in crop rotation, and the greatest value under irri gated conditions. "Maintenance of organic matter is of great importance ln the control of nioisturw ln the dry part of the growing season when moisture be comes the limiting factor in crop production," says W. L. Powers, professor of soils at the Oregon Agricultural College. "Fields that had manure or clover sod disked and plowed under withstood drouth much better than untreated com panion plots. Thfe is especially tme this season. "Organic matter can be increased by application ot lime or fertilizer where increased' growth results, by accumulation in pastures, by green manures, by catch or cover crops, and by plowing under manure and clover sod every three or four years."
