EUROPEAN WAR NEWS Paris. May 29. ? The Allies to night gave up as lost the Battle of Flanders and, la a great re treat, opened the flood sluices around Dunkerque to guard their last port of escape to the sea. The bloody conflict) in the north was all but over. The Germans thus were left substantially In control of France's northern in dustrial region and her northwest coast, across from England. At least, however, the battle had given tihe Allies time to build a strong southern front along the Somme and Aisne rivers for 200 miles across France. The virtual collapse of the Al liecT cause in Flanders, after the Belgian army's surrender ordered py King Leopold left their flanks laid open, came amid scelies of fire and flood. WhiTe the waters rose steadily in the vast syttettl of sl-reams criss-crossing the plain of Dun kerque, French divisions fought across the tortured landscape to. hold the r^ar while British troops defended the main points to pas sage for the uiitin forces seeking the coastline, The Alliesbrought on the inun dation by opening the locks south west and northeast of Dunkerque J on the greSt canal that flows by i the 'city and follows (he coast lor many mile's. In Dunkerque, t'he last Allied' resistance was rallied uuder Vice Admiral Jean Marie Abrial, 61 year-old commander of the port. The Allied armies, navies and air forces fought together in an: effort to save as much as pos sible -from the wreckage of Flanders. 1 ' London. Thursday. May 30. ? Shattered remnants of tbe British Expeditionary Force ? blood-stain- j ed, muddy, and walking like men 1 asleep ? began arriving in BriMsh1 ports ehrly today. Most of the first arrivals were wounded. They described a con stant, pitiless German bombing and strafing bombardment of the French ports from which Viscount Gort is attempting to save his trapped divisions.

The appearance of the British survivors of the Flanders battle was a ghastly token of what Bri tain may expect if Adolf Hitler'B legions attack these shores. B. E. F. casualties arriving to day said the shattered British forces were "sliding off a stretch of coast 30 miles long." They revealed that some of >the men had to walk into the water to reach shallow-draft ships. Berlin. May 29. ? The massive right< wing of the German army crunched down through Flanders tonight from the sea to Lille up on a crumbling triangle holding tbe flower of the Allied fighting forces. It was predicted freely in Ber lin that 600.000 British and French crushed into this segment', and deprived of ? shield by the suddeii surrender \vesterday of 3gu,000 Belgiums, whuid be eith er wiped out or put nehind Ger man barbed wire witbiik.two d^ya. Then, if wide specuTfttitfn is borne out. there will be a tremen dous push on Paris ? not England. In the main part of Mie Allied triangle, pushed against the channel and blazing Dunkerque, are the men of the British Ex penditionary force whii^b rushed in 19 days ago to resist the in vasion of Belgium. In the broken-off tip of the triaugle sout'h of LtHe. staud the Frenchmen who tried to break out of the German trap toward the south, at Valenciennes. Separ ated from the British, t-hey are reported penned in a segment of 12 square miles. With them are thousands of hapless, homeless re fugees. The German advance sheared off this triangle tip today. Forces fighting from the northeast and southwest met at Lille, taking that city of French industry. The trapped French are below them. Timely Farm Questions Answered at State College yl'ESTlOX : Hon much corn should I plant to provide silage for my ilniry herd? ANSWER: This depends. of course, upon the number of aui mals in the herd. The average size Jersey or Guernsey cow will consume from 30 to 35 pounds of silage each day and the Ayr shire and Holstein animals will take from 40 to 50 pounds. For a feeding period of six months it will be necessary therefore to , provide from 3 to 4 and one-half . tons for each mature cow in the I herd. As the yield of silage is aboub one ton to each Ave bushels , of grain produced it will be nec essary to figure how much silage is required and then plant suf ficient acreage to produce this amount based on the average grain produced on the land oer acre in past years. QUESTION' : What Is the best method for controlling plant lice and other bisects on rose bashes? ANSWER: A forty per cent solution of nicotine sulphate spray will take care of the plant lice and also the thrips. The red spider, rose scale, and slugs re quire different treatments and these are given in Extension Cir cular No. 200 on "Home Culture of Roses." This circular also gives control methods for diseases affecting the rose. Copies of the 'Publication may be had free up on application to the Agricultural Editor at State College. ' QUESTION : What In the best ?ge to breed heifers? ANSWER: No arbitrary age |can be set (or breeding heifers <18 this depends to a large extent upon the maturity of the individ ual. Heifers which are fed grain liberally in addition to their roughage will mature rapidly and naturally will be ready for breed ing before those receiving a lim lited grain ration. As a general | rule, however, Jersey and Ourn sey heifers should be bred to rreshen at from 24 to 30 months of age and the Ayrshire and Hol stein heifers at from 27 to 30 | months of age. The maturity of each animal will be the flnal de I termlning factor. Where he applied triple super phosphate on his pasture at the rate of 200 pounds to the acre, B. M. Johnson, unit demonstration farmer of Henderson County, has doubled his grass yield. Daring the 1939-40, planting season, 1,085,000 forest tree seedlings were planted on 87 5 acres of land subject to erosion in Buncombe, Madison, and Yancey counties.

ASH PRINTING (iriints-oI-.\l<l Helpful In Soil Conservation A new term, ?'grant-of-aid."- has become a favorite with farmers participating f* the AAA pro grams. :'-Y. Farmers in 32 States use the term in connection with a special; program of the AAA to furnish lime, phosphate, and other soil building materials in place of the cash payments under the Agricul tural Conservation program. The grant-of-aid program was started under the 1937 AAA Farm Pro gram as a means of helping far mers ? who could not otherwise conveniently finance the buying ? to get lime, phosphate, and seed of some soil-conserving crops. Farmers may use from TO to 80 per cent of their conservation payments for this purpose. Farm ers co.operatdng in the 1939 AAA . Farm Program received 660.610 ! tons of lime and 136.736 tons of i phosphate as grants-of-aid. Although the grant-of-aid pro gram is an advantage to farmers j in supplying soil-building mater-' ials without cash outlay, the greater benefits are the improve ments to the farm which follow the use of such materials. In Pennsylvania, where much lime! and phosphate is used ou perma nent pastures, one farmer report ed to the AAA that an applica tion of lime and phosphate so im-l proved his pasture that its carry ing capacity was doubled and he was able to turn his stock on It a month earlier in the Spring. , Supervisors' Training Schooi was coDdacted Wednesday.

Every ef fort is being made to get compli-[ ance started as soon as crops arc' planted. Blue Moid made its appearance in Franklin County during the week and it was observed to be attacking plants at a early stage :ia growth. The Louisburg Chamber of Commerce completed orders dur ing the week for 7.200 gallons of molasses and 7,100 pounds of calcium arsenate and was success ful in booking a second order and are now accepting orders at the same price ? Calcium arsenate 7 He per pound and molasses 10c per gallon.

"Iir. ./in . J .. n?u and not too lata to be of uae," Mr. Davis said. "We must send clothing, bedding, shoes, medications, surgi cal dressings and food." Before the most recent devasta tion of neutral countries by aerial blitzkriegs was begun, the Ameri can.

To the Red Cross societies of the nations engaged in battle, the Red Cross sent >33,000 surgical dressing*. These garments and surgical dressings were made In 1,500 Red Cross Chapter* throughout America. In addition, the American Red Cross purchased medicines, shoes, blankets, knitted underwear and almost a thousand other Items at a cost of $1,500,000 f?r shipment to the Red Cross so cieties o ? belligerent nations. * But with destruction, suffering, and thousands of wounded added each day to the frightful toll of war as new nations became involved, the American Red Cross appealed to the nation for at least a ten mil lion dollar relief fund. Contribu tions can be made to the local Red Cross Chapter In any community in America. Mr. Davis said. * practices announces N. H. Ayscue. Chairman Of Franklin County Committed. Thtjre has occured in many to bacco and cotton fields in Frank lin County areas'of land unsuited for the crop, areas of land with rock out crop, and areas covered by terraces which were not plan ted or planted to a different crop. In measuring land previously these areas have been deducted and not counted as planted acre age to t>he crop in the field. Mr. Ayscue further announced the following regulations have been | prescribed by the Washlnfton of fice to be followed by Compliance Supervisors in 1940: Deductions are not to be made on ai'eas less than 0.10 of a chain in width (6.6 ft.) or if less than 0.03 o an acre in one spot, or if area it all spots is less than 0.10 of at acre. You can easily observe herf (?hat where one row is planted oi a terrace and the distance be tween the two romt- is less thar 6.6 ft (where the rows are plant ed 4 feet apart the row will ex tend two feet beyond the plants) wide no deduction can be made It can also be observed that at area must be as large as 6.6 feel x 198 feet or contain at leasl 1307 square feet ijj one spot anc that' there must be enough are: in field of 0.03 acre spots or mor? to be equal to 0.10 of an acre when added. Farmers anticipating receiving allowance for deductions should r check their areas to be deducted ! to see that they exceed the mlni Imiim requirements listed above. Where tobacco Is planted up to ! the terrace and a row of cotton, corn or some other crop is planted 'ion the terrace, then the tobacco starts back of the terrace we can "! not advise yet as to whether or not the area too small to be tak en out will be included in the field as tobacco or the crop plant ed on the terrace so it will be safe if deduction is desired not lo . plant the terrace to a row crop but plant to a broadcast crop as [ cowpeas. soybeans, or millet In which case it will definitely be classed to that crop if specifica tions listed above are met.
