HUNS AGAIN ATTACK FRENCH. A Paris Cable says -The Germans once more returned to the 0.ttaek on the Aisne front last night, hurling troops in waves against the French positions northwest of Braye-en-Laonnois. The War Office announces that the Germans were unable to reach the French lines except on the extreme western part of the front attacked, where some German detachments won a footing in advanced trenches. Prisoners remained in the hands of the French. The German used burning liquid in an unsuccessful attack northwest of Rheims. The statement follows: • "After a violent bombardment yesterday evening the Gsrmans attaeked our lines in the region northwest of Braye-en-Laonnois, from Epine de Ohevregny as far as the Oise Canal Our artillery ' and machine gun fire broke up the futile attack, and the Germans were not able to approach our positions, except on the western end of the attacking front, where some fractions of the enemy forces gained a footing in advance trenches.

A great demonstration occurred after he had completed his address. The delegates embraced the Minister, and carried hitt on their shoulders to his automobile. 11. NerenSity said in part: 'We must before everything con- solidate the civic liberty the revolu- tion gave us, and we shall not do this if each does not do his duty to his country with complete selesacrifices.

Help me to show the world that the Russian army is not a demolished temple, but is stroug and formidable, capable of making itself respected, and of defending the free republic of democratic Russia. "It May appear strange that I, a civilian who was never a soldier, have undertaken the heavy task of re. storing diecipline in the army, but I r this is not as hard as formerly, but there is plenty to do. Finally, there is the getting in of the corn and the tilling of the silos. That begins- along about the middle or 206. of Septeinber -a glorious time for a man who has had his nose to the office grindstone during the summer months, and a work that any eity man can make good at, Then there is the most iMportant work of all -the preparing of the soil for the crop et 1918, the successful farmer must map out or plait las work months, and in Many eases e year ahead. The farmer and Itis family are doing and have done their very best to Increase production. "All aboard going south." Mr, Rich- ardson jureped On his train, and the Times man began to figure when he could arrange his holidays and get a lungful of pure air ott the Riverside farm. J. W. Richardson, of Caledonia, was a visitor la Hamilton yeeterday. J. W. is a farmer -an intensely praetical farmer -whose long suit for years has been "production." He has brought education and intelligence to bear on the problem of the soil and ' has achieved a very large measure of suc- cess, and is therefore competent to speak with authority -on the stibject. it Is an audience of city people that a man of Mr. Richardson's stamp should have just at this time instead of being engaged devoting his time to his famous herd or Holstein-Fresian cattle, his corn aria wheat fields, his ensilage, and the question of .labor as applied to the broad acres of Riverside Farm, Mr, Richardson could give the Ham- ilton Board of Trade a talk that would help its production campaign, and pro- bably teach the city men a few things about how tO•teach the farmer. Speaking of crop conditions in that part of the Provipce which be knows well, lir. Richardson said to the Times: "Oats and barley have a fine start and give splendid promise. Wheat has suffered severely during the told weather of the spring. Still I should think it will get a half crop - say an average of 15 to 20 bushels to the acre, if the conditions are laver - able. Of course the time is past to help these crops, The acreage is Jaeger than usual. What the farraers should do now is to go after corn. The importance of the corn crop cannot be overestimated. Everything that can be done now to increase the product- iveness of the soil should be done. The land should bave every possible atten- tion, and the corn acreage should be doubled. There is plenty of time to do it yet and get the results this sea- son. The planting time is from about the 201h of May to the 10th of June. Every bit of work done now will bring in good profits a few months hence. and help put off the threatened meat famine. Unless more cattle • feed is produced ,a meat famine is sure, and corn is the best feed there is. More- over, every bit of corn grown will sate so muott wheat for the City manes bread, co you are keeping down the priee of both bread and meat by grow- ing corn. This is going to be a. corn year. Everything points that way. Hay saved the situation largely last year. If the hay crop this yeae is half of what it was in '1916 it will be all that can be expected. "I see there is an agitation against using veal," remarked Mr. Richardson, which he commented on after this fashion: . "The idea is. of course. to force the live stock man to keep their calves until they grow up, and thus increase the beef supply. It is impos- sible. There is not the feed in the country, to begin with, and in the sec- ond place to keep the calves till they grow up would cut off the city's milk supply at once -you cannot feed the milk to the calves and bring it into the eities also. Mr. Richardson is not one of those who think the city man will not be able to do a great deal to help the country in this, the time of its great- est need for production. "There is farm work that the eity man cannot do unless he has had some experience In the past, but - there are certain busy times when the work can be done by a City man or a good strong boy just as well as by a farm hand. There is a great lot of hoeing to be done. It is hard on the back at first, but is good health -giving work.. Then there is the haying. These two jobs have to be done along in the end of June and beginning' of July. Work is very heavy at* that time and all the help the city meo can give will be appreci- ated. Then there is the harvest. On account of the improved machinery RAFAV "Ilea %Uwe:. TORONTO MARKETS. FARMERS' AL1111'114T. Dairy Produce - Butter, choice dairy 0 42 1140114, aoz.
