THE FARMERS PART.


Ihe farmer part IN national prepared.
ness IS defined in an appeal by Secretary
OF Agriculture Houston for larger crops
tor the eliminate of waste and for the
conservation of surplus. To help him at
tain these ends the farmer is offered the
advice and assistance of county agents,
State agricultural colleges and the De-
paftmeut of Agriculture at Washington.
The American farmer is notoriouslv
prodlgal OF his resources Intensive farm
ing as it is practiced abroad is virtually
unknown in this country. Scientific con
servation of crops is equally unknown.
This country is one of the great granaries
of the world because of its natural riches
and not because of careful hnsbandry.
No particular knowledge of farming is
required to appreciate the few preliminary
suggestions made by the Department Of
Agriculture for the guidance of the farm
er. lie is advised to make sure by pre-
limlnary tests that he does not plant dead
seeds and to treat seeds with disinfect-
ing fluid as a cure for preventable dis
eases. He is told that cereal crops are OF
the most vital importance to the nation
and is urged to take especial care in the
planting and growing of such crops. He
is advised, moreover, that the enormous
waste of fruit and vegetables in former
years can and should be curtailed by can
ming, drying and preserving operations.
On the brink of a great war it should
be clear to every farmer that no food pro-
pucts must be wasted. We must be pre-
pared 10 help feed our prospective allies

nands on Us will be greater than they

A PERSONAL letter from our Con-
gresham, Albert F.. Polk, this week
is of such general interest, that we
print part of it, so that those who de-
sire to get all the information possible
can write Mr.. Polk at the House of
Representatives in Washington. DC.
on any of the subjects they may be
interested. In his letter he says:
For the information of your read
ers, it might be well to say in your
next issue, that / have quite a supply
of Farmers Bulletins which can be
supplied to those who apply for them,
and that | should be pleased TO near
from any person desiring any of these
Bulletins upon any especial subject
that they may be interested in. There
is Bulletin called "The Small Veg
etable Garden" which is very helpful,
and l should be pleased to supply this
to any person writing for same.
! am writing this letter because 1
think such an item published would
be of much interest to your readers
and perhaps interest them in some
subjects in which they are not now
interested. If they don't know just
what sort of Bulletins are issued. |
shall be glad to mail a list Of Bulle- |
tins, published by the Agricultural |
Department, as ! believe this will aid

ion which has been obtained by prac-
ical experience and test by the De-

Not Much Linuor REACHES Seaford.

Chief of Police Ollie Wright of Sea
ford says he has not arrested any
person for about a month, and the
lookup has not been used. This is
a remarkable record FOR Seaford and
shows the result of the anti-shippin
laws.
Owing to the scarcity of wheat in
this section many grist mills have
been forced to suspend operations un-
til they can secure a supply of grain.
James J . Ross last week sold 1000
bushels of wheat at an average of
50 60 a bushel. The largest part was
disposed Of to NJ. W. Hearn, millers.
of near Seaford Mr.. Ross says this
is by far the highest price he ever re
ceived for wheat.

THE INDEX tells some plain truth
and gives fine advice when it states
that the Stacker, white or black. who
is found without a steady job pre-
ferably helping to grow food, will
soon find the hand of some authority
on his shoulder. If he is of military
age lie will be called to the army
if not, he will be drafted to labor.
This is a country of equal rights and
privileges and equal burdens and in
this war there is no place for the
loafer or the Stacker. Our advice
to every one able to work is hunt a
job now and be found doing your part

IT is necessary to cleanup and to
keep clean the yards. homes and by
places everywhere, unless disease in
some epidemic form spreads over the
land An active Board of Health is
necessary in every town, and espe-
cially must the members of such
boards be aggressive in enforcing the
sanitary laws. The spread of infan-
tile paralysis during the summer and
fall would take toll from hundreds of
homes, and we can not afford to lose
human lives because of carlessness
on the part of any man or woman or
set of individuals. Clean and keep
clean. is the slogan now. and the man
or woman who refuses to do this of

Sfnre Desfrnred hr Fire.


Fire, about 4:3O O'Clock last Friday
afternoon, destroyed the store of Har-
ry Oliphant, at Hearn's Cross Roads.
The origin is unknown, as there was
no fire in the store at the time. The
building and stock is a total loss. The
merchandise was owned by Harry Oh
iphant, and the building by his father.
Edgar Oliphant. A small dwelling a
short distance from the store was bad
ly damaged. The stock of merchan-
disc was partly covered by insurance.
A Laurel lady, Mrs. George E.
Smith, will give a boquet to the val
edictorian of the graduating class in
each school in Sussex county this
spring.
Thus far the effort to organize a
company of home guards at Laurel
has been a failure. None of the local
young men have volunteered in the
army. Laurel, however, has several
young men in the navy. who entered
several months prior to the time war
was declared.

WASHINGTON. August 1.-The adj
ministration food control bill, stripped
Of the features opposed by President
Wilson, was reported out of conference
to-day. just one month after the date
the President had hoped to see ii en-
acted into law.
Enactment some time next week now
is predicted. House conferecs will
make their report tomorrow and
favorable action probably will be taken
on Friday. Senate approval probably
will follow early next week. although
extended debate is expected in the SEN
ate. owing to elimination of Se:ate
amendments, which would have pro-
vided for a congressional war expendi-
lures committee and three-member
food control board.
The weeks deadlock in conference
was broken by Senator Warren. OF

vote with the Democrats to strike out
the war expenditures committee amend
ment, particularly Objectionable to tie

Senator Warren is understood to have
been Influenced BY tacit understand

will report faborably and as a scpa-
rate measure a resolution TO provide
for a joint congressional committee on
the conduct of the war, introduced by
Senator Weeks. OF Massachusetts. Ad-

fight against it.
