times as much as at present by more

date methods used ON the idle land
will have a yielding capacity of over
eight times as much as at present.
Careful Investigations conducted
by the Bureau proves that these
lands are we'll adapted to all classes
of crops from the early fruit, truck
and vegetables to the latest storage
fruits and vegetables for winter use
and to the most intensive kind OF
dairy farming.
"The theory that decadence Of agri
culture in this region was due to the
exhaustion of soils to long contin-
ued cultivation has proved unfounded
by careful study and by officials OF
the Department of Agriculture.
"The conditions in the eastern sec
ton OF the country are similar to
those existing In other sections OF the
country, So whether the cost Of liv.
ing is to be reduced or not, 1t Is per-
fectly plain to even the layman mind
that to feed the present and constant
growing population of the country a
greater production of foodstuffs must
be raised.
ITO do this more people have got
to return to the. farms; 1t is neces,
sary to put more land under cultiva-
ton; more improved methods Of agri-
culture, and more intensified farming
must be followed.
Il expect that this will be done at
no distant date. but until 1t Is done
and prosperous times continue to pre-
vail, | am afraid that we. cannot ex-
pect a substantial reduction in the
high cost Of living"

REMEDY FOR PRESENT HIGH
COST OF LIVING

The lever that will break the back
bone OF high prices and foodstuffs IL
more intensive farming, cultivation O
unoccupied lands near the large cities
and more intelligent method of agri
culture, Is the opinion expressed by
Prof. Milton Whitney, Chief of the
Bureau of Soils, U. s. Department o.
Agriculture. DIR. Whintey lis the lead
ing authority on soils and their uses
and his many publications on soils
and their adoption to crop production
and their relation to food consump
ton, have attracted worldwide at
tention.
DR.. Whitney Is preparing bulletin
on soils of the country and the irrela
ton to the nations future food sup
uly. The doctor draws especial at
tention to the vast amount OF un'
cultivated areas Of land, the decline
in the cultivated areas compared will
the rapid increase of the countrys
population.
"The country Ia advancing In every
line,' said DR.. Whitney. People are
living better than ever before. As a
result we are stronger physically and
mentally. We are consuming more
foodstuffs per capita than the popula-
tion of the European countries, and
would not for a moment attempt to
discourage less focd consumption. But
1t Is plain that until we get larger
supply of foodstuff and the period OF
high salaries continues we can ex.
pect the present high cost of living
to continue.
$50, let us touch the producing side
of the question. For Instance, the
States north Of the Potomac and
east of the Ohio rivers have total
area Of 112,322,SS0 acres. The area
under cultivation in this territory is
estimated at little over 10000, 900
acres. Added to this Is 27,000,0 900
acres used for forestry. SO we have
over 100000 acres of idle land in
the territory lying in the States.
During the past thirty years the
amount OF land in use has steadily
decreased until it is now about
twenty per cent less than in 1880,
while the country as a whole has
been growing at a phenomenal rate.
"The number of persons engaged in
agricultural pursuits In the States
above mentioned has also decreased
during the past thirty years, while
the total population has very largely
increased.
There are at present, mark you,
about 100000 persons engaged in
agriculture In the area under consid-
GRAFTON with population of over 3d.
100000 non-agricultural producers to
be fed.

Popular Talks on Law.

THE MILITIA AND THE LAW

secured some voice In the manage
ment and control of the state militia.
Under the federal law the govern
ment distributes to the states $1,000
900 for the militia and defrays var
ious expenses In addition. States
which accpet this aid must accept
certain requirements and submit to
the control of the War Department.
Practically all OF the states have &C
cepted federal aid and federal con-
troll South Carolina apparently re-
naming as an exception. The militia

provisions of the Federal law 10 not

The Federal Government prescrtbes
the system of drill, which must con-
form to that OF the regular United
States troops. At least five consecu-
tive days In each year must be de-
voted to encampment. Funds are
distributed among the states depend
ing on the number Of organized
troops which the state has. The ma
tional government supplies arms, am
.nunition, belts, etc. Regular officers
are detailed to instruct and assist
the state troops. Thus the organized
state troops are becoming in equip
ment and training uniform with the
regular army, and in effect part
thereof.
The president IT the United States
may call out the organized militia
ITO execute the laws OF the Union,
suppress instruction, and repel In
vasion,' as the Constitution provides.
Further, he Is the exclusive judge
as to whether the conditions require
that the militia be called into the
service OF the United States. When
called into the service Of the United
States the President is commander
in-chief of the militia and Congress
has control of the state soldiers.
Al times when the militia Is not
within the service of the United
States the state authorities are In
control. The governor Is generally
commander-in-chief. Usually the
power OF calling out the militia to
SUPPRESS disorder and enforce the law
within the state rests with the gov
ernor. though in a few states other
officers have this authority. Thus
in Massachusetts the mayor OF city
may call out the militia to assist the
civil authorities In cases of local dis
order.
The differing of the militia is with

ment. Usually the members OF the
company elect the company officers,
the line officers elect the field Off

general officers. After being elect
ed they are usually examined and, II
competent, are then commissioned ur-
der state authority. The non-com-
missioned officers are generally ap-
pointed by the regimental command
ers.
Anyone who is liable to military

Minnesota is planning to carry agri-
cultural education to every one of the
] 500 farming communities in the
state. The extension division of the
agricultural department of the state
is working out the details
for a wide campaign to promote better
crops and wiser use of the land. To
carry out the program viii require %
membes Of the agricultural school fac
ulty, fifteen extension teachers, and
more than 100 high school teachers
who will devote most of their time to
community organization work. Besides
starting a club for farmers in each of
the 1000 townships, the leaders in the
campaign, who are headed by Prof A.
d. Wilson, purpose to establish in each
place corn-breeding plot, an alfalfa
testing plot, certain live stock improve
ment work, and a vegetable growing
club to interest the girls and women.
All the county and local educational
forces in the state Will be enlisted in
the movement. Short courses in agri-
culture will be given in each of the
more than 20 counties of the state
Delegates from each township will be
expected to attend this course, and
then go back to their respective town
ship organization and conduct similar
courses for their neighbors.

SALAD MAKING.
Dyke

All hostesses like to serve salads
attractively and we are all longing to
find some new and fetching way Of
presenting old materials.
Almost anything it is said except
milk and flour may be made into a
salad, yet we would avoid the com
bination of foods which do not har-
monte as we avoid inviting to our
tables those whom we know are not
congenial to our friends.
Carrots, potatoes, turnips and such
vegetables are cooked before combin-
ing in a salad. Cut in cubes, or balls
Beets are sliced or if small left whole,
Food value should come first in the
making of a salad especially where it
is to form the main part of a meal,
like a luncheon.
Then the arranging and garnishing
is a feature most important Who
has not turned away from perfectly
good and wholesome salad because it
| looked mussy and unattractive? The
perfection of combination and flavor
count for nothing if the salad has
been carelessly prepared.
When meats and potatoes are used
a salad is always improved if these
! stand in seasoned dressing for a while
| before combining.
If green plants as lettuce, cress, par
! sley and such green things are used
! they should be crisp and fresh.
The tiny red rad!sh is one of the
| most charming of garnishes to use
| either in slices, whole, or cut to re-
semble a flower
Rings from red and green peppers
the coral of the tomato in fact there
is no color combination which cannot
be delightfully."- managed with vegeta
bles.
The point to a salad is its flavor
and if it is elusive and unnamable sc
much the better, we all like mystery
In a degree even in our food.
The salad dressing is another i'm
portant consideration. The simples
is the French, the most popular i.
mayonnaise.
For French dressing one part o
vinegar with three parts oil is a gooC
proportion, with salt and pepper t
taste. A teaspoonful Of powdere,
sugar is liked by many.
