 Twine is now made exclusively from paper cut into very thin strips and spun into yarn, but although paper yarn is being made in very large quantities it has been found suitable only for coarser fabrics, not for clothing.
 The authorities are now considering the advisability Of establishing an inn perial clothing office, similar to the imperial offices regulating the dis trlbution of flour, butter, and pota- toes. But as the first duty of this of- flee will naturally be to provide for the needs of the navy. the masses of the population do not take any inter- est in the project, as it is an almost foregone conclusion that there vii be no textile goods left for the civilian population.

 Berlin, April 22.-Fortunate indee, IS the man in Germany who at pres ent finds himself the possessor of { we'll filled wardrobe. The prospect: Of being able to replenish it are very slim. The problem of clothing is likely to become even more serious than the question of food, especial ly if the war should be prolonged through next winter.
 For many months the great tex. tile manufacturing towns of Germany have been as idle and dead as are the big shipping centres of Hamburs and Bremen ACcause wool, linen and cotton for textile purposes have be. come as scarce as fats and flour.
 Great German scientists are work ing like trojans to discover substi- tutes to take the place of the com modities named but so far their ef- forts have brought only insignificant results.
 It has been tried to replace wool by shoddy refuse and rags and to weave cloth in which the percentage of wool in it's natural state is very small, but the quality of the goods made has been found to be exceedingly poor and absolutely useless for military purposes.
 Any number of experiments have been made to manufacture an arti- ficial cotton from wood cellulose, but the flores are too short to give the needed strength and elasticity. As hemp and jute are equally scarce all over Germany, experiments are now being made with some success in manufacturing g durable and elastic textile article from the flores of net ties.
 Since 1914 there has been a factory running in Holstein which turns out about two tons of nettle yarn day, but the stock of nettles available in the country is insignificant in coal. parison with the enormous quanti- ties needed, So. although the product is satisfactory enough, the idea of building additional factories has. been given up for the present, at least

council passed an ordinance pro-
hibiting the running at large of
domestic fowls. That ordinance
was published according to law,
but very few seem to pay atten-

violation is $500 and imprison-
ment until the fine is paid. Law
abiding citizens have provided
enclosures for their fowls; the
others have not. Many people
are complaining about their
neighbors' chickens flying into
their gardens and scratching out

many hours of toll to put in. ]

Conserve Farm Produced Potash

The greatest difficulty ever ex.
perienced in the state is being en-
countered this year in the potash
famine. The price of commercial
potash has gone sc high that it is
prohibitive for the average farm
crops.
P. H. Rolls, dean of the Uni.
versity Of Florida College of Ag,
riculturc, calls attention to the
large amounts of potash that are
wasted annually on the farm. II
these wastages of past years
could be gathered and used con-
servatively there would be e.
nough to supply every need of the
state for this year. The ashes on
the farm contain a large amount
of potash, which at the present
high price is well worth saving.
1t is probable that the ashes from
the ordinary fireplace would av-
erage somewhere around | per
cent. potash, according to the
dirt they contain. Instead of
wasting this potash place it ON the
fertilizer pit.
Farm animals feed on a large
amount of forage. This is digest
