Letter From Charles Lowry Dear Mother:- I have the pleasure of ■writing you a letter from the extreme southern part of France. I t surely is a swell place to he during the winter time- Everything around here is a Jot dif­ ferent than the northern part of the country. The trees a re in bloom and the flowers are out. Life is worth liv­ ing here. The reason fo r me being here in such a place is to give u s a rest. The! town is Monte-Carlo on the Mediter- rannian sea. The place is noted for its great gambling places situated on the side of a great mountain over­ looking th e sea. There ate several hundred soldiers here now along with sailors. Tell Uncle Will that 1 would-' pot mind touring the southern part of France, The roads are great, I sup- 'pose there will be many Americcans visit France after the war is oven to - see .the old battle front. They ate al­ ready fixing up the roads so that you cannot tell just, where the line was. J, am feeling fine a t present but I am anxious to get home. Do not pee -any chance yet. I.suppose all th e '83 boys are bach and discharged by this time. I received the Xmas package all O. K. Everything was in the box th a t was mentioned. I am sleeping and eating, in one of the finest hotels in France, 'h e name is .the “Balmoral . Palace”. Everyone here can speak English, I expect to leavp here near the l l t h of the month fo r my compauy I understand .they . are expecting to , close our camp and we may be sent home during April or May. ’* I visited the city of Nice today. .- I t is a fine place. Everything, green around and I saw* oranges in .ihe or­ chards fo r the first time. Just before I le ft catnn.snow was two or three ifilfiies deep and nearly, zero. I will try to' make a trip over into Itially towqrrow op the next day. The .t r i p here was a little sudden bu t I will have enough francs to hold out unless'something happens... . ‘ Charles E.

PRICE, $1.50 A;YEAH Clover Seed Good Investment With rexi clover seed selling for over $2i) a bushel, fear is expressed b yw il specialists pf the College of Agricul­ ture th a t the growing of legumes will be cut short with serious relults tothe soil. Rather than not”to sow red clo- . vsr, the amount of seed planted may jbe reduced and from eight to Six lbs, | per aero and from two to three pound !o£ alsike clover, selling a t $17.5p a 1bushel, substituted. In this way the soil needs will he taken cure pf, Futhermore, while akhke ia usually . less desirable from the standpoint of yield, if, is much more certain on ’ many soils, particularly on those that are acid,- Should conditions be favro- able to the devclopcment of red cloy- ir, it offers no interference, but in- •;ase of a partial or entire failure of clovejr, tlie alsiko usually makes a ;air crop.
