SWEDEN'S FOOD SHORTAGE.
Daily Flour Ration Will Be Reduced
Corn Meal Scarce.

London, April 2.-The Swedish eco
monte commission announces that the
amount of rye, oats and mixed grains or
hand in the kingdom or possible to I'M
port is much less than had been estlmat'
ed. and that it is therefore impossible to
lift the embargo against the using ioI
fodder of any of the appropriated grains
which il has been hoped would be done
The strictest measures, the commission
saws. are needed to insure a supply OF
breadstuffs lasting until the next har'
vest. The daily per capita flour ration
will be reduced by from so to zoo
grammes.
Stockhom's municipal economic conf
mission viii prohibit the inclusion OF
children under II years in estimating
the amount of coffee that may be bought

ing shortage of certain food products in
Stockholm is found in the gradual dis
appearance of corn meal from the mar
ket. A month ago most of the large
stores had considerable quantities that
could be bought without bread card at
an average of 10 cents a pound. The
supplies in many stores are already ex-
hausted and the price has risen 10 "A

Round steak rib roast, chuck roast,
plate boiling beef, ham and canned sal
mon have increased less than one-eighth
in price above the prices average in 1916.
Lard, eggs, butter, cheese, flour, corn
meal potatoes, onions and navy beans
have jumped to prices entirely abnormal.
So far as is possible, housekeepers
should endeavor to find substitutes for
these foods Many families, it appears,
are discarding potatoes in favor of rice
and other foods, the prices of which re-
main more nearly normal.
In 1913 the average family food bill
within the United States was found to
be $4,000 Like quantities of the same
foods in February footed up S42j.54.
The greatest element of increase is in
potatoes, from 1886 to $44.69 for SS2

RAIDER
IS ACTIVE
Eleven Vessels Have Been
Sunk in the South At
lantic Seas
THE CREWS REACH
RIO JANEIRO
Seeadler May Be a Captured
American Bark - French
Bark Brings 285 of Crews

Rio Janeiro, April IA new German
raider, reported at Rio Janeiro to be the
captured American bark Pass of Balma-
ha. slipping past the British warships on
guard in the North sea, has reached the
south Atlantic and sent II merchantmen
TO the bottom. According to survivors
from the sunkcn vessels, the raider Is
the Seeadler (Sea Eagle, formidably
armed craft operating with The same
success and daring as its predecessor, the
Moewe, which recently returned to
German port after playing havoc with
shipping in the same waters.
News Of the activities of the raider
was brought to Rio Janeiro by the french
bark Camhronne, which arrived Friday
She had on board 2S5 men from the
crews of vessels sunk by the Seeadler
The Cambronne encountered the raider
March in latitude q south, longitude
west. point in the Atlantic almost on a
line with Rio Janeiro and about two
thirds of the way to the African coast
After the survivors had been put ON the
Cambronne she was ordered TO proceed
TO the coast OF Brazil, a voyage OF y
days.
According to the formal do Brazil, the
raider was loaded with mines, which ex-
plains the destruction OF vessels oil the
coast of Brazil The commerce destroy
or il reported to be armed with two guns
of l05 mllimeters and l6 machine guns
The vessel has three masts and IS
equipped with wireless. It's crew con
sists of "a men under the command OF
Count Ukner.
According to the refugees the raider
left Germany Dee % escorted by sub
marine. They say the commander de-
clared that the German emperor and the
crown prince alone knew OF the expedl-
ton. No complaints have been made as
to the treatment of the sailors while
they were prisoners on board the raider.
They gave the name of the boat as the
Seeadler, and say she was provsioned
for Is months and had a great supply OF
munitions and explosives. On sighting
merchantmen the raider hoisted a Nor
wegian flag, which was replaced by the
German ensign when her prey was with
in reach of her guns. Among the refu-
gees are two women, the wives of two OF
the captains of sunken vessels.
The Pass of Balmaha, a vessel oil
l,57l tons gross, was taken into Cux-
haven by German prize Grey in August,
1918, while on voyage from New York
for Archangel with 5000 bales of cotton.
She was held up by a British cruiser,
which placed prize crew on board Sub
sequently a German submarine stopped
her and placed her in charge of the prize
crew which took her to Cuxhaven. On
account of the fact that the Pass OF
Balmaha was transferred from British
to American registry after the beginning
of the war, German prize court ruled
that the ship and her equipment should
be confiscated, but that the owners should
receive the proceeds of the sale OF the
cotton.

weaker each time it is used. The degree
to which the disinfectant is taken out OF
the solution varies according to the
amount of dirt on the potatoes, the
character of the water and the kind OF
container. For practical purposes it will
be sufficient to add one ounce OF dissolved
corrosive sublimate to each 80 gallons OF
solution after each batch of potatoes
has been treated. When this has been
done four times, throw away the old
solution and prepare new solution.
To treat large quantities of potatoes
set several barrels on a slightly elevated
platform. Fit a plug in hole in the
bottom of each barrel, fill with potatoes,
cover with solution, let stand two hours,
draw off solution, and pour into another
barrel. Increase the number of barrels
in proportion to the quantity to be treat
ed. Another method is to use large
wooden vat or trough, into which the
potatoes in sacks are lowered by rope
and pulley and later hauled out, drained
and dried on Slated racks.
Seed potatoes may be treated several
weeks before planting, provided they are
not reinfected by storing in old contain
ers or storage bins.
Sprouted potatoes are injured by treat
ment but will throw out new sprouts.
In general, however, potatoes viii not be
injured by following the above directions.
Many growers believe termination is i'm
proved by treatment.

MOUNTING COST OF LIVING.
Coffee and Tea Alone Remained Station
ary During the Year.

The cost OF living is consistently ris'
ing. During the month before Feb. 10,
reports the April number of the Monthly
Review of the Bureau of Labor Statistics
of the Z. S. department of labor, the
combined price of p principal foods went
up four per cent. Onions led with u per
cent. Potatoes went 80 per cent. Five
articles flour, rice, raisins, coffee and
tea-were stationary, and eggs was the
only food that decreased in price.
Substantially these articles cover the
average table menu. Compared with 1916
retail prices most comestibles are high
or. Only three, rice. coffee and tea, were
no higher on Feb. Is than the average
price OF 1916. Some articles have risen
tremendously; Others less in proportion.

SEED POTATO TREATMENT.
Department of Agriculture Recommends
Distinction.

The disinfection of seed potatoes by
soaking in corrosive sublimate or IN Tor
maldehyde is recommended by the Y. ,.
department OF agriculture as measure
that will tend to improve the germina.
ton and lessen the danger Of scab.
Such treatment is, on the whole, profit
able but has several limitations which
should be clearly recognized to prevent
disappointment The object OF disniect-
ing seed potatoes is to destroy the germs
Of scab and other surface parasites which
might otherN use be planted with the seed
and infect the new crop. Only surface
infections are reached by this method
II is only partially effective against deep
pits of common scab. Neither corrosive
sublimate nor formaldehyde, as ordlnar-
ily used. will destroy silver scurt. Either
one will kill surface infections OF black
leg. but neither will reach the internal
infections common in tubers from black
leg hills Neither Fusarium wilt nor late
blight infection in potato tubers can be
reached by any seed treatment, nor can
any of the non parasitic diseases OF po-
tatoes. such as mosaic, leaf roll and curry
dwarf. thus be prevented See farmers
bulletin 544 for descriptions OF these
troubles.
Select Disease-Free Seed.
Clearly, therefore, the most important
precaution against these diseases Is 10
select clean, disease-free seed potatoes
from healthy. vigorous plants, as deter
mined by field inspector during the grow
ing season and at harvest. Seed treat
ment should then be applied as an add
tional precaution II will not he etec-
tive. however. if the soil where the pota-
toes are to be planted is already full oil

Soil Conditions and Potato Diseases.
Soil conditions have an important reia-
ton to potato tuber diseases, and many
OF these are widely spread throughout
the country and perhaps native 70 some

acre it reduces the scab, but such heavy
applications cannot generally be recon-
mended as profitable. Preliminary ex-
detrimental trials are advised.
How to Disinfect Seed.
IL is considered better to treat pota
toes before they are cut into seed, espe.
cially if the cut seed is TO be very small.
Put into the solution all the potatoes IT
will cover and keep the batch covered by
the solution for the period named under
the treatment being used.
The formaldehyde treatment consists
in soaking the potatoes, before cutting,
for two hours in solution made by add
ing one pint OF formaldehyde to 30 gal
Ions OF water The solution can be used
repeatedly. The gas treatment is no
longer recommended.
The corrosive sublimate treatment rs
more effective than formaldehyde, par
ticularly against rhizoctonia, or russell
scab, and powdery scab. Corrosive sub
Innate is used at the rate of ! to 1000
for one and one-half TO two hours. Dis
solve two ounces of the salt in hot water
and dilute to Is gallons. This is deadly
poison. Use with great care. II must be
kept in wood, porcelain, or glass vessels,
as it attacks metal. Seed so treated
must not be used in the household or
left where animals can reach it.

The few cases that have been report

"The modern school has become
something more than 'readin', writin'

made enjoyable for the children and
when they begin to take an interest in
school work they forget about unruly
