BERMUDA IN FOOD CRUSADE
Government of Island Colony Urges
Farmers Not to Rely Further on
Imported Supplies.

United States Consul Carl r. Loop,
at Hamilton, says: The department
of agriculture of Bermuda has issued
a leaf1et for general distribution
throughout the colony, urging on the
farmers the necessity of growing larger
quantities of food for home consump-
ton. 1t says in part:
1.-The government is most anxious
that farmers and others realize the
Importance under present conditions Of
increasing local food supplies. The
high prices of imported foodstuffs.
which are likely to be still further in
creased in the future, add very great
" to the cost of living. and at the
present time it is a patriotic duty for
all to do their utmost to insure the
practice of economy in every depart
ment of life.
Heretofore the farmers of the col
Ony have depended too much on i'm
ported and too little on homegrown
foods. The present aim of every farm
er should be to produce as much food
for his family and live stock as he can
grow with economy, and to have sur
plus to sell. BY so doing he can great
" reduce his own cost of living and
at the same time lessen the colony's de-
pendence on imported foods. The high
cost of imported foOdstuffs should in
crease the demand for local grown
foods, and a market would seem to
be assured. especially for potatoes.

Blossoms for Dead soIdiers

One Of the most prosperous agricul-
tural districts in France at the pes
ent time is in the near neighborhOod
of Toulon, the Mediterranean seaport
not far from Marseilles, and therefore
far distant from the scene of war.
But the war is TO this district the
most important source OF its prosper
ity. For its chief product is those
tiny, long-lasting flowers known as
''immortelIes" They go, in vast guam
titles, to decorate the graves Of French
soldiers. In early spring the fields
planted with them are densely carpet
ed with the blossoms associated in
everybody's mind not with life. out
with death-which are picked in early
morning, before the dew is OF the
ground, and shipped, via TouIon, to
all parts OF France.
