PRESERVE VEGETABLES
And Fruits by Canning or Drying, Says
Secretary Of Agriculture.

Washington, ID. c., June 2S.---"Eyerl
housewife this year should restore t.
her home the often overlooked home in
dustries of canning, preserving, picking
and drying OF perishable fruits or vege
tables said David +. Houston, secretary
of agriculture, to-day. "The large mum
Der of new backyard gardens which have
been planted this year shortly will be
gin to yield their extra harvest Of beans
peas, carrots, beets, sweet corn, and to
matoes The regular supplies also will
reach the markets and, as happens each
summer, the local supply at times will
exceed immediate consumptive capacity
Not TO conserve much of this surplusage
OF valuable food would be sinful waste
"The present food and labor situations
are such that no household is justified in
| looking to others to release it wholly
from individual responsibility and con
structive action in saving and conserv-
ing food. All any home should expect
OF others is to supply those foods which
cannot be produced effectively by its own
members. The railroads win be bur
dened with the transportation of staple
foods and civil and military necessaries
from localities of production and manu-
facture to districts incapable OF supply
ing their own needs. 1t follows that all
locally produced foods, conserved by
home methods, lessen the winter pres.
sure on transportation agencies and also
release similar products OF factories for
other purposes.
II urge every. household, therefore, to
can all surplus perishable products for
which they have containers and to dry
and keep in paper any additional sur
plus suitable for such preservation.
Canning calls for no special skill and
for little equipment beyond wash boil
er and jars. Fresh products, cleanliness
and heat are the chief requirements, as
even sugar is not essential for canning
fruits under modern procedure. Fruits
and vegetables. moreover, can be dried
efficiently in the sun, over range or
gas stove, or before an electric fan.
Homemade shallow trays of wood or
heavy wire screen are the chief equip
ment required. Drying is time tried
home industry; conservation OF food by
drying is largely a matter OF restoring
to the home great -grandmother's method
of seeing that her family had good food
in winter as a relief from monotonous
diet of root vegetables. Canning and
drying can be practiced as effectively in
a city house or apartment as on farm
or in suburban dwelling.
Canning, of course, already is a prof
table industry for women and children
in thousands of homes and ! trust will
become almost universal this season. To
aid the home conservation movement, the |
department of agriculture has issued a
new farmers bulletin on home canning |
and another on home drying of fruits |
and vegetables These free pamphlets |
should be read and followed in every
household which wishes TO translate pa
.riotic impulse into concrete service"

The notes that were exchanged were
made public by the state department
yesterday.
AT the same time officials detected
| a distinct note of dissatisfaction with
the relations heretofore existing between
the United States and Brazil The Bra
lillian ambassador pointed out that "the
comparative lack of reciprocity on the
part OF the American republics Invested
until now the Monroe doctrine of its
true character by permitting of an inter.
probation based on the prerogatives of
their sovereignty" He added that the
president had brought Brazil to the side
of the United States and impaired a
practical shape to the doctrine

WEAVING LAMBS.
How to Treat Lambs and Care for Ewes
at WEAVING Time.

Lambs kept for breeding stock should
be weaned when from four to five months
of age. The lambs intended for market,
on the other hand, should attain mar
ketable weights before they are five
months OF age and should be weaned at
the time they are sold.
Lambs at weaving time should be kept
for four or FIVE days at least on the old
pasture, as they do not fret as much as
in strange place. The ewes should be
removed to another pasture as far away
as possible from the lambs. If the feed
on this pasture be little scant, so much
the better, for this will help check the
milk flow. The ewes and lambs should
not be turned in together again, for a
large amount of milk from a eve that
has not been sucked for two or three
days il liable to cause digestive disturb
ances in the lamb.
AT weaving time the ability of a eve
to produce a good lamb is often ruined
because care is not taken to see that
she is dried off properly. A little care
at this time will be well repaid. Two
or three days after the separation the
ewes should be MIXED out. All OF the
milk need not be drawn from the udder,
but enough should be taken to leave the
udder soft and pliable. Mark with col
ored chalk ewes needing no further at
tention. In about three days the ewes
should be MIXED out again and the drys
Further attention should be
given four or five days later to those
not dry. No effort should be spared to
maintain every breeding animal in a
sound and useful condition.

ARE REGISTERED
Full Consumption Returns
Are Now Tab
ulated
ROUNDUP TO
START SOON
Virtually 100 Per Cent Ac-
counted For, General
Crowder Says

Washington, D. c., June 23.--The
mighty roll of registration for conscrip,
ton for the national army was complet.
ed yesterday when two tagging states
Wyoming and Kentucky - wired their
complete returns.
The grand total of names on the roll
of honor is 9,649,93S. The totals BY
states are TO be submitted to the census
bureau for close analysis to determine
why certain western states showed reg
istration of only about 30 per cent. of the
estimate, while other states, notably
Ohio, Michigan, Wisconsin and Montana,
ran far over the estimates,
Provost Marshal General Crowder con
siders the returns virtually a 100 per
cent. registration. With the addition of
the eligibles already in the army and
navy who were not required to register,
the total will be brought well over the
100000 estimated by the census bu.
reau.
Piercing publicity" is being used to
round up the few remaining evaders of
registration for selective CONSUMPTION
For those caught stiff Jail sentence is
waiting
Gen. Crowder yesterday directed the
registration boards to post complete al
phabetical list of the men registered in
each precinct.
He urged that the newspapers print the
roll of honor of those already registered.
The general public and the registered
men are expected TO watch for any CON
spicuous absence of names and report
them to the authorities. Agents of the
department of justice will do the rest.
An analysis of the returns with three
states still incomplete convinces officials
that the number of "shirkers" is small.
The publicity method is expected to
smoke these few out and into cell.

PULP FROM THE BAlSA TREE
New Source of Supply for Paper In
dustry in Panama.

Those who are interested in possible
new sources of wood-pulp for the pa
per industry might do well to investi-
gate the balsa tree OF Panama and
adjacent countries.
The plant Is known botanically as
ochroma lagopus. 1t grows more rap
idly than almost any other known tree
whose wood Is valuable. In four years
time she has grown to be thirty feet
high, shading an area fifty feet square,
having a trunk ten inches thick and
several branches between four and six
inches in diameter.
Altogether there is at least a cord
of solid wood in the tree. An acre
could contain rs of these trees.
Balsa has several valuable quail
tiles. 1t produces "A brown -colored
cottonwood in great abundance, COM
monty used for stuffing pillows and
mattresses. As the seeds are very
small-not so large as cabbage or mu-
tard Seed-they do not have to be re-
moved from the fiber for this purpose,
thus giving it an advantage over cot
ton. This fiber may yet be found ca
pable Of being spun and woven. IL
has long and strong fibers in the base
Of the bark, ordinarily used in Panama
to make ropes. This use is so wide
spread as to have caused some scarcity
of the tree in regions adjacent to
settlements.
The wood is white, extremely
straight grained and easy to work,
and. while soft when green, 1t seems
to harden later. 1t looks like a fine
source Of woodpulp If it could be
obtained in sufficient abundance.
Balsa wood is used by natives in
Panama in place of leather on which
to sharpen knives and raZors because
of the fineness and cvenness of the
grain. The plant would probably
grow in Florida and the southernmost
parts of the United States. 1t has
immense quantities of fine seed in
closed in the cotton-like fiber of big
pods; the wind easily distributes the
seed and makes it take up any new
clearings very rapidly. Some of the
railway dumps along the canal are
covered with balsa trees which have
sprung up since the completion of the
canal. AS the growing of pulp plants
is being proposed, it is possible that
the balsa might be found a desirable
experiment II would probably spread
over southern Florida rapidly.

Joan of Pattsburg' Finn is
Seized by Uncle Sans Agents

The United States government yes
terday at New York seized Goldwyn' $
first comedy release featuring Mabel
Normand, and entitled, Joan of
Plattsburg."
Joe Gilligan, travelling representa-
tive of GoldWyn in the southwestern
territory, was in tie city and while
here during the afternoon received a
telegram from his company, stating
that Uncle Sam had grabbed the fill
lum" during the forenoon as soon as
il had been released.
Tie message did not state the rea-
son for the seizure, hut ii may be sup.
posed that il was because Joan Of
PlattsUurg" showed too much of the
doings at Flatts1urS, where many OF
its scenes were made. Evidently the
Goldwyn directors got too much of
the soldier life i'm the film 10 suit
Uncle Sam, either giving away secrets
of the camp life or depicting scenes
the government regarded as harmful.
This is the first time on record so
far a5 known, where the government
has seized a movie picture and pre-
vented its showing.
Those familiar with the Goldwyn
policy will readily acquit that fine
company of any conscious intent TO
injure the nations cause in any way.
il was the first moving picture com
panV to offer TO donate one set OF
each of its features as fast as they
are produced. to be sent 10 France
for the entertainment of the Sammles
in the war zone-an offer that was
Immediately accepted by Secretary of
War Baker.
Goldwyn has certainly had hard
luck getting the fair Mabel on the
screen under its label. After she had
signed a contract with the company
Mabel jumped ii and Goldwyn had to
file a damigc suit of 100000 against
her This was compromised by her
returning TO the studio and going to
work. e
loan of Plattsburg' was her first
picture and had Just been tlnlsheu
Now il is killed. The loss, of course,
will amount to several thousand dol
