HELP THE FARMER.

The farmer himself Is the dominant
factor in producing food. He has the
land, equipment, labor and experience
all of which are essential. He also
has his own ideas, based on experience,
ard knows his limitations anud handi-
caps. Thus it becomes simply mat
ter on the part Of business men to
help him in such was as he may indi-
cate, rather than urging increased
production, without extending the ma
terial assistance he may need. Since
his part is so important, he needs to be
in fact, the head as we'll as the Shout
ders that bears the increased burden.
We want to suggest to the business
men of the country that the simple
agreement to buy at reasonable prices
all the food products that the farmer
can produce. in specified lines, will go
a long way toward increasing produc-
ton. Business men can we'll afford to
make such an offer. as arrangements
are being made by the national govern
ment and the state and county public
safety organizations for handling the

GAMBLING ON CHANCE.

The general attitude of most of the
American people seems to be game
CT chance-gambling in the war in the
hope that Germany will lay down her
arms before the United States gets
soldiers to Europe This is the wrong
Spirit, and the kind which win deter
the preparedness of our country.
1t is necessary that the United
States contemplate the war In Its
worst ASPECT and, should fate Inter
vcne to terminate the war the United
States will have been ready and will
ing to do its part.
The May Day strikes do not seem to
have been the great factors which
were expected After all, it seems that
republican Russia suffered most Sc
verely, although the hope of the Amer
lean people seemed to be wrapped up
in an expectation that the German EN-
pire would crumble. Wars are not won
by the failure OF country, but by the
defeat of nation through stronger
force.
Germany will have lost the war
should she herself fail. 1t is the de-
sire of the Entente Allies that she be
defeated.
The United States has an important
part to play, and every man must dc
his duty. The various speculations on
the end of the war; what will happen
next-it's folly.

SOIL SURVEY or DAVIDSON
Federal and State Department of Ag-
rtculture Complete Soil Survey of
Davidson County.

Washington, D. C.-In order to as
sist farmers in adapting their crops
to the various types of soil in the
county, the U. S. Department of Agri
culture and the North Carolina De
psrtment OF Agriculture have recent
ly completed soil survey of David
son county. The report OF this sur
Vey covers 80 printed pages and in
cludes large map showing in colors
the location of the various soil types
in the county.
The principal income crops of the
county. says the report, are cotton, to.
bacco, and wheat Corn, wheat, oats,
and hay are the chief crops grown for
subsistence by Irish potatoes, sor-
ghum, garden vegetables, and fruits
are very generally grown for home
use and the surplus is sold in the local
markets. More wheat is grown than
is consumed in the county and large
quantities CT both wheat and flour are
shipped to outside markets. On the
other hand, some wheat is shipped in
to the county and ground at the local
mills.
OySLemaC1c crop rotation is not gen
orally followed but Investigation of
crops is general over the county Some
successful farmers follow cotton with
wheat and red clover which is cut
one year for hay, the second growth
sometimes being turned under The
third year the land is planted to cot
ton, corn, or wheat. It is the univer-
sal practice to precede corn by colver
whenever possible.
The greater part of Davidson coun-
ty is occupied by soils of residual or
lgin that is to say, those derived from
the weathering of the underlying
rocks. These soils are divided into
10 series, including % distinct types
OF these it is generally recognized
that the heavy types, the clay, clay
loan, silt loan, and silly clay loan
are best suited to the production of
wheat, corn, oats, and clover, and that
the sandy types o. the Durham; Ap,
ping. and Cecil series are better
adapted to the production Of tobacco
and cotton. The Congaree fine sandy
loan and silt loan are especially
good soils for corn.

| the meat before it reaches the cook
| and she removes all of the skin, there
will be no woody flavor left to disturb
the most fastidious. Mutton being a
short-dbered meat, is more easily di-
gested than beef or pork.
Mutton in Casserole.-Cut mutton
into serving-sized pieces, roll in sea-
soned flour with bit of chopped onion
and fry brown in a small amount of hot
fat. Then add pint or more of finely
shredded carrots, with enough water
to cook them, leaving just enough for
the gravy. The -four will furnish the
thlckening. Cook slowly well covered
for two or three hours, or until the
meat and vegetables are tender. A
small serving of meat with plenty Of
the carrots which are well favored
with the meat juices will make good
meal. This dish may be prepared in
an ordinary iron frying pan. cooking
the meat and vegetables on the back
part of the stove at the simmering
temperature.
Take a shoulder of mutton, remove
the bone and fill with stuffing, using
any desired forcemeat; haste frequent
~ while roasting.
Mutton With Dumplings.-Taket three
pounds of the breast, simmer until
tender, then set aside to cool; skim
off all the fat, return the mutton to
the liquid, add one Or two onions finely
chopped, salt. pepper and little curry
powder if liked. Just before ready to
serve, drop dumplings into the boiling
hot kettle fsmall ones cook in eight
minutes. Serve with the dumplings
surrounding the platter of meat. Nut
ton chops are delicious when we'll

served rare, lamb never. A few peas
to a mutton stew adds to the favor
and gives variety.
Breast of Mutton With Tomatoes
Take three or four pounds of the
breast of mutton, season we'll and put
into the oven to roast. When it COM
mences to get brown, pour over it a
half can of tomatoes, to which has
been added one finely chopped green
pepper. Cook until the vegetables are

If flower or two is placed on the
tray it adds greatly to the invalid's
pleasure.
In case of contagious diseases it is
an excellent plan to use paper doilies
and paper napkins that can be burned
Immediately. There are many shapes

able If one cares to buy, saving the
washing and disinfecting of dishes.
When serving hot dish of any kind
it should reach the patient piping hot
and if the dish is an ice or a cold one
it should be cold.
There is nothing more distasteful
even to a well person than a hot dish
served lukewarm or a frozen dish half
melted.
All gruels and cereals served to an
invalid should be long and we'll cooked.
Dried fruits should be soaked overnight
and cooked until soft. Prune juice,
orange juice and many lightly sweet
ened juices are all suitable to give to
the sick. Toast water, given when di-
gestion is weak. is very helpful in in
ducing an appetite for more nourishing
foods, as is beef extract. Fresh butter
milk, junket koumiss and clabbered
milk are all most valuable to give va
riety in a milk diet.
Baked apples with cream. lemon or
various gelatin jellies, rice, sage and
soft cooked eggs are all good and may
be presented in a most attractive
manner.
A rosy apple cooked in its skin and
carefully skinned leaving the pink on
it's cheeks, then served with strip
made by boiling the peeling in the
stewed juice Of the fruit. Add cream
and the dish will look so pretty that
the patient will want to try it.
