Hoover To Control Wheat.

The Hoover plans for the control
of wheat are drastic and undoubted-
ly will prove adequate. The plan as
outlined is the licensing of elevators,
the prohibiting of storage of grain
more than thirty days, purchase OF
wheat at terminals, universally of
price and the vigorous prosecution
of violators of the law.
This plan when in effect will pro-
duce the result sought. Mr.. Hoover
makes no threats and advances no
menaces. He assumes good faith
and cooperation upon the part OF
the food producers and handlers.
But the Damascus blade of the food
laws hangs by a slender thread, and
this may be cut Immediately. Hence
the way of the transgressor IS apt TO
prove hard. And the temptation to
transgress will find the appeal OF
interest for resistance. The country
wants the food measure executed in
conformity with the intent of legis-
lation.

President Wilson turned the
Pope's peace proposals down fiat.
Every peace proposal is looked upon
with suspicion nowadays, since the
allies have found out the Kaiser's
true measure, as events have proven
the German government will stoop to
any trickery to gain advantage.
Baked in what she was confident
of accomplishing by force OF arms
Germany still hopes by crooked
peace parley to save her face. The
German press, which boasted three
years ago of the approach OF SUI
preme military triumph, is now as
sorting that the German defensive
cannot be broken and that drawn
battle is assured, while every Ger
man agent and German sympathizer
on the face of the earth is seeking
to promote a prompt peace that may
avert a military disaster and an
economic one.

The primary election will be held
on Tuesday, 18th inst. and despite
the fact that there is contest for
every office on the Democratic ticket
there has not been the same interest
manifested as. in former primary
campaigns.
This is no doubt due to the fact
that war and war preparations have
overshadowed all else in the public
mind.
Meanwhile the candidates have
all been circulating among the peo-
pie, making themselves known, and
hustling for votes. There is quite a
field to select from and every Demo
cratic voter should have interest
enough in public affairs to go to the
polls on Tuesday and mark his bal
lot for those candidates he thinks
best.qualified for the offices to be fill
ed. Don't treat the matter with in
difference, but go to the polls and
vote for candidates of your own
choosing.

Secretary McAdoo's plan for life
and indemnity insurance for soldiers
has been framed into bill and is
before Congress.
The main features are that the
government shall bear all the cost OF
the administration of the insurance
plan and that no expense of any kind
shall be a charge on the funds
created by the payment of premiums
by the soldiers and sailors. Relieved
of overhead charges, eight dollars
year for every thousand dollars in
surance will be an adequate charge,
under the plan, and this figure VIII
put the maximum insurance OF ten
thousand dollars within the reach OF
practically every private soldier or
sailor. Insurance in private COM
panies would cost many times this
sum for men actually engaged i'll
warfare.
Total or partial disabilities are
provided for, and rehabilitation and
re-education of the injured soldiers
or sailors, fitting them for lives OF
activity and usefulness is part of the
plan.
The plan also contemplates free
allowances to the families of soldiers
and sailors, the government sup
plementing the sums set aside by the
soldiers and sailors out of their
wages.

To stimulate quick increases i'll
the meat supply, the United States
Department of Agriculture will ex-
tend throughout the country Che pig
clubs which have been operated in 1 5
States and the poultry clubs which
have been operated in States. In
addition to the 33 specialists in hog
production and 80 specialists in
poultry production who thus will be
placed in the field at once, an addi-
tional specialist on hog production
will be placed in each of the five
principal hog raising States.
Hogs and poultry have been
singled out as the live stock on
which special efforts will be concen-
trated in the campaign for increased
meat production, because they give
the quickest returns. The various
pig and poultry clubs have already
interested in the rearing of these
aniT1als large numbers of young peo-
pie who otherwise would not con-
tribute to an increase in food pro-
duction.

Dairy Division to Use Emergency
Fund to Increase and I'M
prove Output of Dairy
Products.
Products.

A campaign to have every drop OF
milk produced in the United States
make the fullest possible cohtribu-
ton to the food supply OF the coun-
try will be, launched Immediately by
the Dairy Division of the United
States Department of Agriculture.
This campaign will be carried on
with funds made available by the
food production bill recently enacted
by Congress- At present much skim
milk and large quantities of other
dairy and creamery by-products are
fed to farm animals when, according
to dairy specialists, considerable
portion of this might more advanr-
ageously be made directly into food
for human consumption. Dairy
products constitute cheap forms OF
food. Whole milk, skim milk, and
cottage and other cheeses are high
in protein and are useful substitutes
for meats.
In work for fuller utilization of
milk in factories, the Dairy Division
will devote special attention to cot
tage-cheese manufacture. Creamery
and milk-plant operators will be
taught cottage-cheese making by a
corps of specialists of the division,
milk producers will be encouraged to
send as much whole milk as possible
to the creameries, and efforts will be
made to increase the general con-
sumption of cottage cheese by the
public.
Other specialists of the division
will aid State extension workers in
conducting campaigns for the i'm
provement and increased manufac-
ture of farm-made cottage and cream
cheese. These specialists also will
conduct demonstrations before large
groups of farm men and women.

Special Call For Cooks, Bakers and
Mess-Attendants For Navy.

The United States Navy has sent
out special call for cooks, bakers
and mess-attendants. Thereby is
offered an opportunity for young
men between the ages of Is and 35
years, experienced. in these trades, to
serve their country at time when
everybody is expected to do their
Bit"
Cooks, bakers and mess-attond-
ants, are quite essential in making
up the complement of the Nays
ships, and men in these ratings are
offered good opportunities for pro-
motion to the commissary branch.
The pay for any OF these ratings
is $4,000 a month, with the same
allowances and privileges that are
offered in all the other ratings.
The recruiting authorities at Bal
timore are especially anxious to hear
from young men of these three
trades.
Full particulars of Navy enlist
ments can be obtained from the near
est postmaster; directly from tie
Navy Recruiting Station, Calvert and
Lexington Streets, Baltimore, or
from the Navy Recruiting Sub
stations at Cumberland and Hagers-

Continued Fires Sweep Northwestern
Forests.

With the most serious situation
in a number of years threatening
millions of feet of western timber,
it has been necessary for the Forest
Service to suspend some of it's oper-
atoms in order to concentrate all
available forces in fighting the forest
fires.
Reports received from the North
west indicate that the situation is
more dangerous than at any time
this year. In Montana and northern
Idaho two thousand men are fight
ing the flames under the direction OF
the Forest rangers. In these two
States alone approximately $4,000
has already been spent this season,
and that figure is increasing by
approximately $4,000 day.
In Oregon and Washington valu-
able timber intended to furnish air.
plane stock for the fighting forces OF
the United States and it's allies is
being threatened by the flames. Log
ging operations are so badly inter-
fered with that several large mills
now supplying the Government with
this class of material may be forced
to discontinue operations. Numerous
fires are reported as. the result OF
incendiarism.
The reports state that in many
places little or no rain has fallen for
weeks. The forests are now so dry
that any fire which occurs is apt to
become dangerous confagration,
while high winds make it difficult to
control even the smallest blaze.
With such conditions, it is pointed
out, there is need to keep all persons
out of the woods. In order to ac-
complish this the Governor of Ore
gon has postponed the opening of
the hunting season in that State.
In spite of the unusually danger
Gus season, it is stated that until
last week there has been compar-
National Forests, private owners
having suffered most of the damage
done. This is largely explained as
due to the increased efficiency of the
fire-fghting force which has profited
by the lessons of the past year. In
many cases, too, luck has been on
the side of the rangers in handling
particularly dangerous fires. The
outbreak of fires in the past few days
is taken by officials to indicates that
the situation is growing more SER
ious.
The whole organization of the
Forest Service, in the affected Dis
tricts, is devoting itself exclusively
to fire fighting. In accordance with
prearranged plan, men from
Forests where there are no fires are
relieving the rangers who have been
worn out by their long exertions.
While it may be possible to hold
the damage to minum by these and
other methods, officials say that not
until the fall rains come will the
danger cease.

STATE FORESTER MAKES IN
sPECT1ON TRIP.
Tours Eastern Shore Counties---Ea
amines Woodland and Shade

Trees.
State Forester F. w. Besley, has
returned to Baltimore from his in
spection trip of the Eastern Shore.
On this trip he visited all of the
counties, made numerous woodland
examinations and looked over the
shade trees on many properties. So
many applications were received for
examinations after the trip was start
ed that he will make a second visit,
if there is time after going over the
remainder of the State.
Mr.. Besley reports that the second
Shore, from the standpoint of timber
production, are now among the most
important in the State. AS COM
mercial timber proposition this Pine
surpasses all other forest trees OF
the State, and in this section it is
the tree to encourage above all
others. The main difficulty under
the present system, of cutting down
to as small diameter limit as is
merchantable, is that hardwood
growth often takes possession of the
cut-over ground, making it impos-
sible for the Pine to re-seed. Con-
sequently, since the hardwoods are
of little value as compared with the'
Pine, the cut-over lands often remain
for 80 or 40 years without producing
another timber crop of value, and
then only one of very inferior ma
terial.
Wherever Pine exists it may be
maintained indefinitely by regulating
the cuttings. This is well demon
strated on a tract of land near Piney
Grove. in Worcester County. For
the past 80 years the late J. e. Dick
erson, who owned approximately B.
900 acres of woodland, had cut his
Pine over at 10 to 15 year intervals
and his son, ]. d. Dickerson, since
his fathers death has carried out the
same policy. His method consists IN
cutting the Pine only to a diameter
of approximately IL inches on the
stump, leaving good stand of small
and middle-sized trees for the next
timber crop. Where the trees were
too close together to permit of the
maximum growth, few smaller
than 12 inches in diameter were
taken out On the other hand,
where the taking of II inch trees
would create large open places in the
forest they were allowed to stand
until the next cutting. Not only
was a good stand of Pine maintained
at all times, but the Oak and Gums
underbrush was entirely held in
check. This system permits cutting
over the woodlands every Is years,
removing as much as half of the
timber and then coming back in a
few years and taking out as much
again.
At the present time Mr.. DECKER
sons woodlands do not look at all
like cut-over lands, and except for
the partly rotted stumps there is no
evidence of the cutting. Anyone
who is interested in such a plan, or
in the systematic handling of his
own timber, can get full information
by writing to the State Forester, Bal
timore.
