WHAT CAUSED FOOD sHoRTAeE7

Herbert Hoover, U. S. Food Admin
istrator, says there have been two
principal reasons to account for the
present food shortage. First, the "un-
kindness Of nature" including the late
spring, droughts, hurricanes, poor con-
ditions Of rainfall, unexpected frosts
and periods of intense heat in sections
throughout the world.
Second, he gives reduced produc-
tivity Of the soil in Europe" Concern
ing this, Hoover says: "This condi-
ton has been brought about by bad
management, unskilled work, and lack
of fertilizers; and these in turn can
be explained by the withdrawal Of men
from farm and field to army and fac
tory, and the employment on the soil
Of overworked women, unskilled old
men and listless prisoners. Further
more the vicious submarine has sunk
boat after boat filed with nitrates
and fertilizers, conspiring to augment
the pauperization of the earth, 80 that
reduction in soil productivity was in
evitable."

CanarIes Are Hardy.

The canary Is a very adaptable lit
tie bird, and their biographer says
that they seem to thrive in any climate
where not exposed to too severe wealth
er conditions, and, in spite of the long
period they have been protected and
held in captivity, they are capable of
enduring a surprising degree Of cold
when hardened to 1t. In England 1t is
not unusual to find them in outdoor
aviaries throughout the year. They
also seem, he says, to be able to re.
establish themselves in a wild state un-
der favorable conditions. In 1909 o
brood of domestic canaries was re-
leased on Midway island, a small,
sandy islet in the Hawaiian group
BY 1914 they had increased until II
was estimated that they numbered
about 1000.

A busheI of corn will buy more fer
tllizer now than it would In 1914.
Every purchase must be considered on
the basis of relative values rather
than dollar values.
The high quotations for spring fer
tilizers have caused many farmers to
ask whether 1t will be possible to use
fertilizers at profit next season. The
answer to this question may be found
by comparison Of the relative pur-
chasing power of crops before the war
and at the present time.
In 1914 the usual corn fertilizer cost
$21 per ton. Today the same fertilizer
costs around $32 per ton-an increase
of so per cent. In 1914 corn was
worth about 60 cents per bushel, TAX
ing the country over. Today it sells at
not less than $1.30 per bushel, on the
farm-more than 100 per cent increase.
The same calculation could be made
for wheat, potatoes, or almost any
other crop Excepting in the case Of
those fertilizers containing potash).
Each individual farmer has merely
to consider whether fertilizers paid
before the war; if so they will pay
even better now.

The Christmas exercises at the
Congregational church were greatly
enjoyed by the grown ups as they
listened to the efforts of the little
tots [who are always the star per-
formers on such occasions], assisted
by the older members of the Sunday
School. The orchestra composed of
our young people who were home for
the vacation, from college and bust
ness, was a pleasing feature. Santa
Claus and the Christmas tree were
the delight Of the little folks. You
will be interested to know that the
collection for the Armenian sufferers
amounted to thirty dollars.

WHY FERTILIZER PRICES
HAVE ADVANCED.

Cannon and crops use the same
food. Six hundred thousand tons
of nitrates went to make explosives
last year, in the United States
alone.
Sulphuric acid necessary for the
manufacture of acid phosphate is
normally made from Spanish sui
phur ores, Submarines have now
almost entirely cut off this supply.
Birthstone, used as a substitute
source of sulphur, must be trans
ported by ralP at great expense
from louisiana and Texas, since
the government has found 1t neces-
sary to commander sulphur-carry-
Ing boats.
Large quantities Of phosphate
rock from Florida and Tennessee
must now go by rail at high freight
rates. Uncle Sam needs the boats.
Higher labor, machinery, coal
and supply costs have caused gen.
eral advance in all raw materials,
varying from Is to 100 per cent.
Burlap bags which normally cost
10 cents each, now cost Is cents and
are scarce at that.
Labor which was plentiful In
1914 at $500 per day Is now almost
unobtalnable at $3.50 per day.
There can be but one answer to
conditions such as these; namely,
high-priced fertilizers.

higher because the demand is in
