His victory, was mainly due TO his
stsadiness and his ability to play at the
top of his game AZ critical moments.
Davis play was spectacular in the ex-
irene and on numerous occasions his
terrific service as well as his oack-hand
rolleying appeared to battle Johnston.
It was at these stages, however, that
.lohnston's superior and accurate plac-
ing, his drives hitting within two or
three inches of the side lines almost
invariably, would put an end to Davis
spurts.
Double faults by Davis likewise
served as a great help to the former

The present shortage of rags and

a scarcity in supplies of finished papers
with correspondingly high prices and
the prospect of insufficient production
of paper to meet the ordinary domestic

european countries have placed en-
bargoes upon exports of papermaking
materials, such as rags. wood-pulp and
dyestuffs, thus adding further to the
scarcity of raw materials.
The paper manufacturers of the

Waste of Rags Serious.

The prevention of waste on the part
Of the general public will do much to
relieve the situation, it is stated. This
is especially true in the case of the
waste of materials which go in to the
manufacture of paper. particularly
rags.
In speaking of the paper situation
and of the part the general public
can do in relieving the shortage of
rags, r. r. Andrews. president of the
Retail Merchants Association. a deal
er in lar~e quantities of all classes OF
paper and also interested in the manu-
facture of paper, told a representative
of The Star the following:
During the first year or SO of the
European war there was no shortage in
this country of materials which go in
to the manufacture of paper. There
were good supplies of wood pulp and
rags on hand and the demands on them
we're small. for the paper manufactur-
ing industry was at a standstill. The
general business depression caused
many of them to shut down entirely
and the remainder to work only part
time.
When conditions became normal
again the manufacturers worked along
as they had in times of peace not pro-
vidinS themselves with any large sup
plies of raw materials. The cutting off
of the shipments of wood pulp from
Norway and Sweden was not noticed
to any large extent because of the
quantities of raw products which had
accumulated in this country while the
mills were working part time

Surprise for Manufacturers.

Inc paper manufacturers had the
surprise of their lives when they learn
ed all of sudden that representatives
of the English paper manufacturers
had gotten busy in this country and
had bought up all the wood puIp thew
could get their hands on. The cutting
of of shipments of wood pulp from
Norway and Sweden by reason of the
war had left the English in a predica-
ment, for England produces no wood
pulp and has to depend entirely on i'm
ports from other lands. While the
shortage of wood pulp in this country
might be, for the great forests of this
country supply a large portion Of the
pulp the country uses.
The paper manufacturers received
another great surprise when they
learned that rags which had been col
1ected for use in making paper were
being bought up by the powder manu-
lecturers. who are willing to pay prices
for rags that almost prohibitiye
from the standpoint of the paper manu-
facturer- j know of one instance where
4 large paper company which operates
number of mills was negotiating for
about 100000 pounds of rags that had
been collected by rag dealer a man
who would have failed on several oc-
easions in past years had it not been
for the support given him by this par
tcu1ar paper company. The dealer
wanted AZ cents a pound for the rags
and the company was willing to pay
the rag dealer was approached by a
man who offered to buy the supply of
rags in question.
High Price Promptly Accepted.
without making known his identity
he asked the dealer to state his price,
Not wishing to throw down the paper
company which had befriended him in
past years the dealer decided to ask
a price which he thought was prohibit
tive and would scare off the buyer He
asked 81 cents pound. and to his
great surprise the man said the price
was satisfactory. Realizing that he
had been cornered, the rag dealer said
that since he did not know his pur-
be for cash. He adopted this course
in a final effort to scare off the buyer
But the man merely drew from his
pocket q blank check that bore the
signature OF the treasurer OF the du
Pont Powder Company and filled 1t out
for the amount OF the purchase. He
gave instructions that the entire $780,
900 pounds be shipped to Hopewell. Va.
ANY old cotton or wooden rag has a
value today. no matter how old and
soiled it may be- said Mr.. Andrews.
III the public would only realize this
fact and gave old rags instead Of burn
ing them they would receive compensa-
ton for trouble and at the same time
aid nightly in relieving the situation
confronting the paper manufacturers.
Years ago every family had its old rag
bag and made a practice of selling rags
This applied to the country family and
the city family alike. In those days tin
peddlers travelled about the rural dis
tricts in their big vans and traded dish
pans and other tin utensils for rags.
The United States supplied all tho rags
present. Today the average family
throws old rags in the trash and they
are burned.
Even Dirty Rags Valuable.
~Even an old rag that has been used
for scrubbing floors has a value today.

Rags for paper. not for powder.
This is the slogan of the paper man
ufacturers of the United States. who
are facing today the most serious sit
uation that ever has confronted the IN
dustry in the country. a situation that
is daily becoming more and more acute
The great war has served to cut off
imports from Europe of rags which are
essential in the manufacture OF the
best grades of paper For years the
United States has depended on Europe
for a large proportion of the rags Whlch
go into the manufacture of paper IN
this country.
This already serious situation is
made all the more serious by the action
of the powder manufacturers IN buying
up all the available supplies OF rags
in this country for use III making pow
der to fill the munitlon contracts Tor
the belligerent powers 1t has been
found that rags are practically as Sood
for the manufacture OF powder as ia"
cotton and cost much less. The pow
der manufacturers are buying up rags
at prices which are prohibitive from
the standpoint of the manufacturer OF
paper.
Shortage of Wood Pulp.
But the rag shortage is not the only
one which is confronting the paper
manufacturers. There also is a serious
shortage in the supply of wood pulp
used in making the cheaper grades of
paper and a more serious one in chem
icals which are essentials in paper
manufacture. The same chemicals
which are used as bleaching agents are
also employed in making the gases used
in the deadly gas bombs being EN-
ployed in the great war. Shipments OF
dye stuffs have been cut off and the
shortage which has resulted has adj
vanced the price for material which
formerly sold for about 20 cents a
pound to as high as $40.
The shortage of raw materials, dyes
and chemicals has SO crippled the paper
industry that no manufacturers are en-
tering into contracts for supplying pa
per and are only accepting orders with
the understanding that they may never
be able to fill them. Prices for all
kinds of paper are climbing by leaps
and bounds daily and there is no tell
ing when the advances will stop.

Diversified Farming Must Re-
place the One Crop
System.
BY ]. G. Haney.
Agri. Exten. Dept. I. H. G.

At the present time there Is per
haps no farm improvement being con
sidered by more farmers than the silo
It is also true that the subject OF
silos and silage is one which to many
is very complicated and vague. In
many instances in the Northwest
where are good reasons for the con-
sideration Of this really important
farm Improvement.
1t is realized that there must be a
change from the strictly one-crop sys.
TEN to more diversified one. That
such change is necessary, there
are very few who will not admit.
Even il grain farming still remains
profitable there is no reason why the
farmers Of the Northwest should not
engage in stock raising more extern
sively. 1t is known that where stock
are kept the farming is carried on
with less difficulty because Of the fact
that the work is more evenly distribu-
ted through the year. and that the
easily maintained.
When the silo is considered it will
generally mean that corn will be
grown for the purpose Of filling the
silo, which will mean a cultivated
crop to destroy weeds and conserve
moisture. That such a practice is
valuable is proven by the fact that
old fields, planted to corn and given
good cultivation, when put back into
wheat will often nearly double their
former yield. Many farmers resort
to summer fallow to secure this same
benefit Growing a crop OF corn &C
cOmplishes the same results as sum-
mer following, and the corn, when
intelligently used, is a profitable
crop.
A silo full of good corn and alfalfa
in the barn will make it possible to
keep bunch OF livestock on every
farm, and return to the soil good
portion OF the fertility removed, as
we'll as active organic matter which
will further aid in maintaining the
productiveness of the SOIL
Silo Stands For Conservation
The present era will be considered
one of unprecedented agricultural
progress. During the past fifty years
practically all Of our farm machinery
has been developed and brought into
use. Everywhere We are hearing the
talk of conservation. The government
is making every effort to conserve
our natural forests, water powers.
coal, petroleum, etc.
With the farmer the question must
not be alone how much he can raise,
but also how much he can get out of
what he does raise, and how much Of
this he can return to the soil as
working capital. This idea Of con.
serving farm resources has dotted the
stock and dairy localities of our coun-
try with silos, from Main to Oregon,
and from Canada to the Gulf, until a
recent writer put it, "A good dairy
or stock community can be Judged by
the number of silos on the horizon,
just as an oil district may be known
by the number of derricks in use"
The silo in the strictest sense Of
the word, is conservator OF farm
resources. It has been shown in
many experiments that practically 40
per cent of the value Of the corn crop
is wasted when the stalks are left In
the field. It is also known by all who
feed corn fodder that there is almost
so per cent wasted in feeding this

matured, it should be preserved al.
most indefinitely so that it could be-
used either during the summer
months, when the pastures were
short, or in the winter when dry feed
alone will not give the best results.
The term silage or ensilage is used
to donate any feed that is preserved
in silo. AS general thing corn is
considered the most valuable silage
crop, but it is not necessarily the only
crop which can be used in the silo.
Wheat, barley, oats, peas, alfalfa.
sweet clover weeds, and in fact any
green growth that will make feed for
cattle, can be put in the silo and pre-.
served to advantage.
SiIage Kept as Fruit
Silage is kept in the silo very much
as fruit, vegetables and other articles
OF human food are preserved in air
tight cans. The germs of oxygen
present. Hence, if the air is kept
from silage it can be preserved al.
most indefinitely. AS soon as the silo
is filled, fermentation begins and con-
tinues until the supply of oxygen is
exhausted. If the material put into
the silo was neither too ripe nor too
green this fermentation will continue
but short time. That is, the heat
which takes place is due to fermenta.
ton and carbon dioxide gas is liberat-
ed in this change. This gas being
heavier than air, it settles to the boz
tom of the silo and gradually fills all
of the space in the silo and effectual-
ly stops all fermentation, as no germs
can live in the presence of carbon
lioxide gas. Hence it is very essen
tial that the silo be perfectly air tight
so that this gas will not drain out,
and air enter. The top of the silo
need not be air tight as there will
be thin layer of inches to foot
of silage that will mould and form
tight covering.
The value and palatability of the
silage depends considerably on just
how far the fermentation goes. That
is, silage cures very much as cheese,
and is greatly improved if this pro-
cess of heating or curing is allowed to
continue to the proper point.
The process of silage making Is
merely a partial digestion which aids
and precedes the subsequent diges-
ton in the animals stomach. Many
of the chemical changes are rather
complicated, but interesting to any
one who has a partial understanding
of such subjects.
