/ Parle.—It was officially announced
Monday night that the Germane were
retreating from t£e line of Nanteuil-
Le-Hardouni to Verdun after a vig-
action with French and British
An earlier official statement said
that- a general action had started on
the line from Nanteuil-Le-Haudouin
to Verdun, a distance of 120 miles.
It w:_s then said that thanks to the
Yjqerous action ot the French troops,
supported by the British, the Germans

given out in Paris it is learned that
the engagements which began Satur-
day and Sunday to the east and north-
east of the French capital, developed
into one of the important battles of
MBo campaign. The armies of the al-
lies opposed the German advance over {
•/front extending from Shout 120
hDm from Nantouil-le-Haadouln, 25
if Paris, to the great
n, in the department
_ ——~ — -J miles west of the
(German frontier.
The French troops were strongly
supported by the British soldiers who
passed through Paris several days
*»o. .
The position chosen by the allied
forces to give battle to the advancing
Invaders was favorable, having near
its center the strongly entrenched
camp ah Chalonssur-Marne.
The allies conducted their opera-
tions so successfully that the German
forces were forced to retire. The
Germans had reached the region
around Coulommierrs and La Ferte-
Gaucher, respectively 3f> and 40 miles
to the east of Paris, when the de-
tachment* covering the fljmks of the
main German army encountered ad-
vanced detachments of the allies, who
drove them back.
In the lighting to the east and
northeast of Paris Monday the Ger-
man forces had their backs toward
the capital. French troops harassed
the march. From time to time the
' Germans turned and engaged the
French at their hack- French sheila
fell contlnaally in the German rear.

Supplies Need for Leguminous Crop *
to Maintain Nltrogon and Humus
Content of 8oil—Returns Sure
and Profltabl*
r
(By GEORGE F. FREEMAN, Plant
Breeder. Arisons Experiment Station.)
Tha development of dry-farming in
the semi-arid southwest has created *
need for a leguminous crop which,
used in rotation with grain or forage
planting, will maintain the nitrogen
and humus feontent of the soil and at
the same time provide a money return
which is sure and-proAtable. No crop,
so well fills this demand as the grow*
ing of dry shell beans. Being a coun-
trywide food-staple they have a steady
market which is little Influenced by
local conditions other than transpor-
tation charges.
Varieties of beans originating in the
hnmid sections of the Blast are of but
little value when grown in
Southwest They do not
satisfactorily the extreme aridity
heat of the air during our suihmer
months. Out of a large number of
varieties tested at Yuma, Arizona, dur-
ing and previous to 1909, only those
of southwestern origin were at all
successful. Among these local varie-
ties, certain ones were noted which
gave yields far in excess of all the
others. * The results of investigations
with these varieties by members of
the Arizona experiment station staff
may be found in Bulletin Na 70, "Dry-
Farming in the Arid Southwest," by
R- W. Clothier, and in Bulletin No. 68, .
‘‘Southwestern Beans and Teparies,’*
and Timely Hints for Farmers, No. 91,
‘The Tepary Bean, a New Southwest-
ern Legunfe,” by G. F. Freeman.
The original stock of the tepary
beans was collected from among the
Papago Indians in the vicinity of
Santa Rosa and Indian oasis.
In order to study the different varie-
ties in their native condition and to
secure samples for testing their rela-
tive values, the writer, spent two
weeks during July and early August,
1910, among the Papago Indians in.
their villages, situated In the valley
between Baboqulvarl and Quljoto*
mountains, some fifty to one hundred
miles southwest of Tucson. Here in a
region with about nine Inches of tala
fall, these beans were being grown
successfully with no irrigation savw
that from flood waters which cam*
down from the mountain washes. Tha
mass of material here obtained to-
gether with a number of samples , se-
cured from other local sources whsu
separated and planted produced
strains of the most widely diverse
types and economic value*
It was found that the Indians were
growing two classes of bean* One
class whioh they called mon was lim-
ited to a few varieties of the common
kidney bean or Mexican frijele. The
other class they called pave and of
these they grew several varieties as
state (white) pave, soam (yellow)
pave, spate mook (speckled) pave,
etc. The Mexican tanners of south-
ern Arizona and northern Sonora also
grow these beans, and called them,
teparie*
Subsequent Investigations developed
the fact that the teparies comprised a
group of varieties botanlcally distinct
from the common frljole, and that they
were really a cultivated form of Phase
olus acutlfolius, a wild bean which,
lives in the desert mountains trass
the PI cos river west and south la
northern Sonora. Domesticated from
the neighboring canyons and cultivat-
ed in small patches, attended at best
by a crude husbandry and dependant
upon the precarieos summer rains and
uncertain floods from tbs mountain
washes for irrigation, the tepary has
lost none of its native hardines*
Like other cultivated plants, bow*
