Fall of Damascus Rebels After French Assault
In Syria rebels briefly revolted in Damascus before a rapid French counterattack using artillery armored cars and tanks. The assault destroyed much of the Master quarter by bombardment and fires, forcing surrender. Two American warships were sent from Gibraltar toward Alexandria to protect lives and property. Indiana Governor Jackson appointed Arthur R. Robinson to fill the late Senator Samuel M. Ralston’s unexpired term, a Republican from Indianapolis who will serve until March 3, 1929. He previously sought the Senate in 1916 but was defeated. During World War I he served as lieutenant and captain, later marrying and having one daughter. North Dakota’s only remaining senator faces reelection considerations.

Fall Plowing Pros And Cons Analyzed
An agricultural note cites Illinois College of Agriculture findings on fall plowing. It outlines unfavorable conditions such as hilly or highly leached soils and soils low in organic matter, plus benefits including reduced spring rush, improved heavy soils, deeper plowing, better moisture handling, and pest control. It also notes fall plowing may be necessary where soils are heavy sand and drainage inadequate, with spring treatment potentially offsetting winter advantages.

Manure Too Valuable for Strawberry Mulch
Poultry manure is too valuable for strawberry beds in the Middle West to serve as mulch. It can be applied just before planting or early spring on thin soils, but excessive use risks soft ripe fruit. The preferred mulch is clean wheat straw with chaff and weed seeds removed to prevent early weed growth and stork in spring.

Unwritten Rules for Fowl Disease Prevention
The text urges strict sanitation in poultry farming, prohibiting bringing in stray fowls from open ranges at any season or age. It emphasizes disinfecting and proper placement into laying houses, warning against introducing disease via unclean practices or unverified stock.
Rye favored for Emergency Pasture
Rye is a strong emergency pasture crop for hogs and cattle. It can provide early spring pasture, with late August through September sowing yielding winter forage if growth is good before freeze. Prepare seed bed early, sow six to eight packs per acre, and decide next spring to plow under or harvest for grain. rosen rye offers higher forage.
Preventing Poultry Cull At Ohio State University
Poultrymen at Ohio State University warn that culling the flock is not a complete fix for the cull problem. Poor management, crowded housing, lice, feed shortages, and infections weaken birds and reduce laying, so preventing culls requires addressing underlying conditions, not just removing low producers.
