EVERYONE ASKED
TO PLANT GARDEN
AS WAR MEASURE
Government Appeal Reaches
City; Will Reach Wide and
Immediate Response

An appeal has been received here
from the United States Department of
Agriculture for every resident to trans
form his yard into a garden this COM
ing spring as a war prepare dness, step.
Everyone is urged to do this as a
patriotic duty. The appeal has been
sent broadcast in the hope that it will
be needed and help toward making
each section of the country self-sus-
tanning. From the manner with which
the appeal was received here 1t is be-
lleved there will be wide response.
Carl Vrooman Assistant Secretary
of Agriculture, who issued the appeal
said that the great need in war time
would be surplus of wheat with
which the nation could feed its allies.
II national policy DEGREES that there
should be big increase in our acreage
and yields per acre of food crops" the
statement says, then the nation as u
whole, and not the farmers as a class,
should and must assume the major
part of the risk involved. The depart
ment is urging each section of the
country to become as nearly as prac-
ticable agriculturally independent. This
is good policy in time of peace and
would be vitality important policy in
time of war when our transportation
systems necessarily would be chiefly
occupied with the transportation of
soldiers and war supplies.
In view of the apparent worldwide
wheat shortage and present and pros
pective high prices in those parts of
the country where spring wheat at
normal prices is as profitable or almost
as profitable as oats farmers would do
well to seed a part of their normal
oats acreage to spring wheat. In case
of war few things would be more i'm
portant than that the United States
should have on hand large surplus
of wheat with which to feed its allies.
Patriotic Duty
"It is the patriotic duty of every
city boy, girl and woman who can to
transform his or her yarG, or some
nearby vacant lot, into a garden, each
square foot of which will grow two or
possibly three crops curing the COM
ing summer Moreover, the average
small farmer and his family owe it to
their country. as we'll as to themselves,
to raise at least 100 chickens, to keep
one COW or more, at least enough hogs
for home consumption, and perhaps a
little bunch of sheep.
The cheapest, most profitable and
quickest known means of increasing
general production is by the use of
lime. There are few sections in the
United States without somo local sup
ply of limestone, mari or oyster shells.
If every farmer in the country would
apply from two to four tons of crushed
limestone per acre to all his sour land
our national supply of breadstuffs this
year would be augmented by surpris-
ing number of million bushels"

Ninety-Two Dollars
For Conscience Fund

Max Roch, of near Quakertown,
Bucks county, to-day sent to the State
Treasury a check for $92 as payment
of taxes on personal property with
held by him. The money was con-
signed to the conscience fund and is
the largest amount ever received for
that fund in the form of check. He
says that he had considered the tax
Unjust and gave as a reason that he
saw expenditures of which he did
not approve for the furnishing cf the
Capitol years ago. r
The writer states that since he had
been converted from atheism he had
seen matters in a different light and
wished to make reparation.

cars lett shortly before o'clock and
another section of an equal number of
cars, departed later.
A large crowd held back by a cor
don of marines and five hundred Phil
adelphia policemen, saw the depar-
ture of the sailors. In each car of
the two sections there was marine
guard of fourteen men.
Preparations for the departure of
the German sailors began last week.
The first outward evidence was OBJ
served Saturday when string of bag
gage and freight cars were run to a
railroad siding outside the navy yard.
Into these were loaded the luggage
and other property of the officers and
men of the commerce raiders. The
first of the crews left the ships shortly
after a. m. and were cheered by
their comrades who lined the rails
of the two ships. A section of the
fence of the navy yard had been re-
moved and through this opening the
German sailors marched to the cars.
Marines stood guard from the ships
to the trains.
When Captain Thierichsen of the
Prinz Eitel Friedrich, Captain Thier-
feldt of the Kron Prinz Wilhelm and
Lieutenant Berg, who brought the
British steamer Appam into the Ches-
apeake capes a year ago, left the
ships they were given a hearty cheer
by the sailors as they left the ships for
their train.
No trace has been found of the two
sailors who escaped last week.
