Store Winter Supplies.

A family of FIVE. including two
adults and three children under IL
years of age, under ordinary living
conditions, should have stored for
each month of the winter season the
following food supplies: l bushel
of Irish potatoes: Il bushel of other
root vegetables such as carrots, tur-
nips, and parsnips; % quart cans Of
other vegetables; and 90 quarts of
canned fruit and preserves. These
figures are based on estimates by the
United States Department Of Agri-
culture, which adds that most OF this
should come from the perishable
products of the many home gardens
of this year.
With these figures as a basis, il
is thought that almost any family
may calculate its requirements, TAX
ing into consideration the length of
the winter season in any given local
ity. Thus, in the South, where food
crops may be grown in the fall, the
winter allowance may be less than
for the far North, where one must
count on supplies for several months
longer.
There is still time, says the de-
partment for final drive in canning,
and drying. In using
dried vegetables, it may be assum-
ed that a given quantity Of dried
vegetables is equal TO four times its
bulk Of canned vegetables; that is,
one-fourth of quart OF dry string
beans when soaked over night is APP
equal to one quart can

Care Of Seed Corn.


gathered from standing stalks a
they grow in the field the huske'
ears should be put in a dry plac,
where there is a free circulation o
air, and so placed that the ears d.
not touch one another.
This is the only safe way, accord
ing to the United States Department
of Agriculture, which says that much
good seed has been ruined because
ii was thought to be dry enough
when gathered. Many farmers think
that their autumns are so dry that
these precautions are not necessary,
yet there is no locality where the
corn will not be bettered by a thor
ough drying treatment. If corn is
left in the husk ii may sprout or
mildew during warm wet weather,
and it is more likely to become in
tested with wsevils.
Poor Storage Impairs Vitality.
The vitality Of seed may be re-
duced by leaving it in a sack or in a
pile for even day after it has been
gathered. During warm fall days,
with some moisture in the cobs and
kernels, the ears heat or mildew in
remarkably short time.
The best and cheapest treatment
Immediately after the ears are gath
cred and husked is to tie the ears
singly on binder Irvine at about s.
inch intervals, the twine being loop
ed about the middle of the ears so
that they hang balanced and hori-
zontal Ordinary binder tvine is
strong enough to support from is
to 20 ears.
Wire racks are cheaper in the long .
run and more convenient. good /
form is made from welded or woven
wire fencing, the upright wires being
used as the hangers. and the lateral
wires cut off and bent upward be-
ing used as supports for the individ-
ual ears. The lateral wires, about
3 inches long on either side of the
main upright, are thrust into the
butt end of the cobb. These racks
will last many years and are easily
stored when not in use. In use. with
the corn upon them, they have some
what the appearance of giant fern
fronds. The central wire is the mid
rib of the leaf and the ears of corn
stand out on each side like the fern
leaflets, or like leaflets on locust
Tree.
Wooden seed racks, in which the |
ears are stored in rows on separate !
shelves, are convenient dryers, and c
nave no drawbacks in a dry, breezy
place, although the air can not circu- I
ate freely on all sides and damp c
ness may be held where the row of j
lernels rests on the wood.
Only during unusually damp p
weather. at seed-gathering time will p
fire be necessary to help the dry d
ng. Yet if heat is applied in e
oorly ventilated place. it will do V
aore harm than good. If used, the D

Sen. Shields Condemns
Five Percent Tax on

(By Leased Wire to New MexIcan)
Washington, D. c., Aug. 29.-The
senate worked on the war tax bill to-
day under an agreement to dispose OF
the publishers tax provisions before
night while finance committee leaders
perfect their proposed compromise on
the wal profits taxation. 1t was plan
ned to take up war profits Immediate
ly after disposal Of the publishers tax
features.
There remained today for disposal
the proposed five percent special tax
on publishers incomes and increases
in second class mail rates with pros.
poets that both would be stricken out.
Senator Shields said newspapers
do not require the same service of
the postoffice department that maya.
zines do, and that they render much
of 1t at their own expense.
THE newspapers really are the peo-
pies papers," the Tennessee senator
continued. "They are the papers
which supply information to ninety
percent Of the people of the United
States and any increase in the burden

den on the people,"
Magazines, according to statistics.
are not read by more than IL percent
of the people, he added, and those
people are more able to pay an in
creased cost than those who read
newspapers. Senator Shields charac-
terized as '~indefensible and discrimin-
atory" the proposed five percent tax
on publishers.
"It is the most unjust AMI inequit-
GUS provision in this whole hill and I
think there are several that ought to
be left out" he added, and declared
that while the present second-class
postal rates were q subsidy and should
be readjusted, 1t should not be with
drawn all at the same time. He urged
the adoption of the Mcclellan amend
ment and opposed all others.
Senator Smith Of Georgia also de-
clared the five percent tax on pub
unjust. Statistics show. he said,
that 1t costs the government one cent

miles and magazines one cent a pound
for fifty miles.
For that reason, he said, it was un
fair to place a tax of one-quarter cent
on newspapers with the loss resulting
from transporting magazines.

The Mcclellan amendment provides

fraternal organizations not organized

Under the Mcclellan amendment
$12, 600, 900 additional would

bate or objection struck out the

(By Leased Wire to New Mexlcan.)
Copenhagen, Aug. 80. - Attacks
| upon Imperial Chancellor Michaelis
| continue and Professor Hans Del
iBruick now asks the chancellor an
embarrassing question concerning
peace. In the Prussian year book
Prof. Del Bruick inquiries of DR..
Michaelis why, If he really accepts
the ~reichstag resolutions as the basis
the inquiry made on July 26 in the
the inquiry made on uly rs in the
English house of commons by former
Premier Asquith regarding Ger
many's readiness to evacuate and re-
store Belgium.
Professor del Bruick, who openly
questions the good faith of the chan
cellor in protesting to agree with tho
terms Of the resolution asks whether
his silence in the face of Mr.. As
quith's summons does not show that
those are right who insist that DR..
Michaelfs takes another standpoint
from that contained in the resolution.
IF the German government Is
ready to conclude a peace upon the
basis Of M a~nnexations and no in
IDENTITIES" asks the professor, why
all this unprecedented apparatus of a
joint committee of the reichstag and
bundesrath to assist the chancellor in
drawing up a simple answer to the
pope's proposal of peace on that
basis"
The truth is, says Prof. Del Bruick
that DR.. Michaelis does not enjoy the
confidence of the reichstag. He could
not possibly do SO, the writer adds,
after last weeks events in the reich
stag main committee and his tacit
submission to the assertion that he
is in reality opposed to the resolu-
ton. Neither the German nation MOI
the world knows what the chancel-
lor's policy is.
The reichstag's resolution. Prof.
Del Bruick concludes, would have
had a different effect if 1t had not
been believed abroad that the reich
stag is powerless and that the chan
cellor is double tongued.
