The NEWS, sl.1.

AS was announced in last
weeks issue of this paper, the
subscription price of the FULTON
COUNTY NEWS will be advanced
to 81 so a year, on and after De-
cember 20, 1916. This announce
ment is made without any apollo
gy. The advance in the subscrip-
ton price is only in keeping with
the advance in price of every
thing else. Most of our subscrib-
ers are farmers. 1t takes a less
quantity of wheat, hay, meat,
poultry, eggs, butter, beans, or
any other kind of produce a farm
er has to sell, to pay dollar-and-
a-half now, than it did twenty
years ago, to pay a dollar. Those
of our subscribers who are wage
earners get from two to five times
as much per hour, per day, or per
month, as they did twenty years
ago. Hence the advance in SUBJ
scription will not prove to be a
hardship to anyone.
We trust that our friends who
have stood by the NEWS so loyal
ly since the date of its entrance
into the field of journalism, will
realize that this is only another
evidence of the effect of the great
conflict that is raging beyond the
seas.
To those who are in arrears, it
will be to your advantage to pay
before the goth of December and
then renew for a year or two at
dollar a year. Remember, that
all who are paid ahead will not
have to pay the dollar r-and-a-half
rate until their time runs out
whether that is six months or
six years.

Lock Jaw Was Feared.

About three weeks ago, Roy
Lininger, aged IL years, son of
Mr.. and Mrs. Ed Lininger, of
South First street, stepped on a
nail which pierced his foot near
the toes. Home treatment was
given and the wound healed.
Last Friday, Roy complained of
soreness in his jaws and one leg
and lock-jaw was feared. DR..
Mosser advised that the boy be
taken to the hospital at Cham
bersburg where it was found that
the soreness was caused by his
having walked on the side of his
foot while the wound was heal
ing. Tendons had been so injured
in that manner that an operation
had to be performed in order to
prevent malformation of his
foot.

II Can Be Done.

"The formation of ice on the
surface of fields is fatal to alfalfa.
This condition is apt to occur on
fields that are level or that COL
tain pockets.
The foregoing is quoted from
the Department of Agriculture.
We repeat it in order to again
call attention to owners of hilly
fields that permanent sods of
alfalfa, or of some other kind of
forage, have been proven to pay
better in the long run than the
breaking and consequent washing
of hills.
Our Pennsylvania Experiment
al Station is trying to teach that
more attention should be paid to
grazing. But it is also trying to
teach that pasture lands in this
state cannot endure abuse with
out receiving seed, lin e an d
fertilizer to enable the grass to
continue. Licking Creek Valley
is grazing land, but not after the
manner it has been tried by some
who have personally condemned
it as such-they thought over
stocking and never re-seeding
were necessary roads to success.
Re-seeding can be done without
breaking the ground.
