FEDERAL FOOD ADMINS
TRTOR MAKES APPEAL.

Federal food administrator, Chas.
Hebbard, appealed to the people of
Washington tonight to heed the urg-
ent call of the French people voiced
through Herbert Hoover, to provide
them with 100000 tons of sugar
within thirty days.
s'This must be done," said Mr.. Heb
herd, eff the minimum ration now
furnished the French people is to be
continued until the new crop of
West Indian sugar is available jan
uary 1.
'There is only enough sugar in he
United States now to supply our nor
NAL consumation until the new crop
is available. If the call of the FIRE.
nch people is to be answered it can
only be through economy in the use
OF candy and sugar by every citizen
of the United States.
America consumes 80 pounds OF
sugar per capita each year or little
under four ounces for each person
each day. In France, England and
Italy, the annual consumption per
capita is 21 pounds, or less than one
ounce each day.
"The 100000 people in Washing
ton now consume as much sugar as
100000 French people.
The French people are about to
be deprived of that bare minimum
ration for two months unless our
people reduce their excessive con-
sumption of candy and sugar.
"It is uncomfortable that we shall
fail to respond to this urgent call
OF the French people whose wonder
full spirit of sacrifice is saving demo-
cracy and human liberty from de-
structive Prussian autocracy and
miiitarism. In the spirit of loyalty
we owe our French allies, I ask the
people of Washington to join Herb
ert Hoover in supplying these indi-
vldual needs through individual e.
economy in consumption. This can
only be done if each person will
forthwith reduce his daily ration of
candy and sugar one-third.
Il urge the citizens of Washington
to do their full part in saving this
100000 tons of sugar for the French

PACIFIC NORTHWEST NEWS.

The l. w. WIS got together in Sc
attic during the past week and voted
to call off the strike in the lumber
mills of the state. The radical ele-
ment rather tried to get this decision
reversed but failed and it is under
stood that most of the members Of
the organization are now Offering
to return to their old positions. The
lumbermen claim that they are very
well supplied with help and are not
inclined to look with favor upon the
applications of the members of the
order for work owing to the fact
that they are looked upon as the real
mischief-makers among organized
labor in the state. Until the l. w. W.
appeared upon the scene lumbermen
say that they never had any real
trouble with their men most OF
whom had been with them a long

DO NOT USE SPRING
WHEAT FOR FALL SEEDING.

Because Of the difficulty in OBJ
tanning winter seed wheat there
may be some temptation to seed
spring varieties this fall. Some
spring wheats are more hardy than
others and if the winter is mild
may make a successful crop. How
ever, in the more severe winters, ev-
en- the hardy winter varieties kill
badly. Seeding spring wheat in the
fall should be considered extremely
hazardous and avoided under any
consideration. Inquiries have been
made concerning the fall seeding of
Early Bart, and every grower
should understand that by so doing
he would be inviting failure.
Only sound kernels can be ex-
pected to produce vigorous plants.
The small, shriveled and broken ker-
nels should be removed with a grain
grader or tanning mill. The shriv-
eled and broken kernels are worse
than useless when used for seed, yet
have very definite feed value.
The acreage of winter wheat in
Washington should be as large as
the growers can safely make it. The
acre yield should be insured by
planting good seed of suitable var
iety and following the best known
seeding practices.

ing recognized. Such bonds may be
bought and sold without formality
of any kind. Attached to bearer
bonds are sheets of coupons or GER
tificates of interest. One of these
coupons becomes due each interes,
payment date and should be detach-
ed by the owner of the bond and
cashed at his bank or presented to
treasury office for payment.
A registered bond is payable only
to its owner or his order, and can
be transferred only by being proper
ly indorsed and assigned by the own
er. The bond has inscribed on the
face of it the name of the owner or
payee, and such fact is recorded on
the books of the treasury depart
ment against the particular bond in
dicated. This change in ownership
of a registered bond is effected by
the original payee indorsing and as
signing the bond, using the form on
the back thereof in accordance with
the regulations of the treasury de-
partment. Such assignment must be
made before an officer designated
by the treasury department, and
such officer must certify thereof and
affix his seal. The officers who are
authorized to witness assignments
are indicated in note printed on
the back of the bond. Generally
speaking certain judicial and treas
ury officers of federal reserve and
national banks are authorized to
witness assignments.
When the owner Of registered
bond disposes of it and has properly
assigned it, it should be forwarded
at once to the secretary of the treas
ury for transfer on the books of the
department. The bond so forward
ed is cancelled and new bond in
the name of the new owner by reg
istered mail.
The interest on registered bonds
is paid by means of checks drawn
by the secretary of the treasury on
the treasury of the United States
such checks being issued on the day
interest is due. They are sent by
mail to the owners of the bonds.

W. s. c. URGES FARMERS
TO BE CAUTIOUS

WASHINGTON STATE COLLEGE.
Pullman, Sept. 27.-Returning from
Washington, d. C. where for some
time he has been in conference with
authorities of the U. S. Department
OF Agriculture, President E. o. Hol-
land says that the federal agricultur-
lists are impelled by the lessons of
the present year to warn American
farmers from ocean to oceangthat
their proper response to the world
cry for greater farm production is
in better farming, rather than in
reckless farming on the chance of
large returns. He says:
Farmers, as rule, know the best
farming practices in their respective
localities. This applies in the pro-
duclion of corn in the Middle West.
Wheat in the western cereal zones.
fruit in regions devoted to that crop.
gardening, the production OF live
stock ond so on. There is always
the safe and sane thinA to do which
takes the minimum chance with
weather and other conditions which
make variable from year to year, the
production of all farm crops. Then
there is always the chance to gam
bic with the weather on the chance
of big returns. This kind of gambl-
ing, sometimes wins and sometimes
loses.
Gas crop returns in the United Sta
te reach the federal agriculturalists
at Washington, d. c. it is becoming
increasingly clear that the nation
has made inconsiderable if any win
nings on the farm gambling of last
spring. Anxious to do their best in
increasing farm production and feel
ing it necessary to go to the extreme
limit in this matter, many farmers
everywhere did things which they
knew were risky, but which carried
gambling chance for success. Manv
of them have lost crop this year.
and the chance OF securing a maxi
HULL crop next year as the outcome
of the chance they took.
"The U. S. Department of Agricul-
ture feels very strongly that it is
wrong to urge farmers to take this
risk. We do not know how long the
war will last; but we know that
America is in the war till the finish.
The military preparations of the ma
tion look to a long struggle, notwith-
standing the hope that the war may
soon be over. So should our agri-
cultural preparedness look to a LONG
struggle and this means that the very
best in farming practice, and the ELI
mination of everything whose value
has not been tried and proved"

Col. Theodore Roosevelt
Praises Patriotic Spirit
of American Boys

The department Of labor author
ICES the following:
Theodore Roosevelt praises the pa
triotic spirit which is being shown
by American boys and young men
who are stepping in to fill the gaps
caused by shortage of labor on the
farms and in industry. The former
president declares the boys patrio-
team; that he is doing his share in
stick where needed in this time of
emergency, even if higher wages at
times tempt him to go elsewhere.
Speaking of the value of the boys
working reserve he said:
Zone of the great benefits you
confer is that of making the boy rea-
lize that he is part of Uncle Sans
team; that he is doing his chare in
this great world war; that he holds
his services in trust for the nation
that though it is proper to consider
the material question of his own de-
sires, yet that what he must most
strongly consider at this time is
where his services will do the most
good to our people as a whole"
Civil Service Calls for
Performance of Patriotic
Duty

as a patriotic duty to take. the exam
nations for civil service positions.
Many vacancies are to be filled. The

advanced.
Male and female stenographers
and typewriters are wanted; also
mechanical engineers and craftsmen

ton boxes; of powder and explo-

cradle number of these positions.

Amount of Fruit and
Vegetables Needed for
Winter Use Shown

The department of agriculture au-
thorizes the following:
A family of five, including two
adults and three children under IL
years of age, under ordinary living
conditions should have stored fos'
each month of the winter season the
following food supplies: one BUSH
Ell of Irish potatoes; one-half bushel
Of other root vegetables, such as car
rots, turnips and parsnips; Is quart
cans of other vegetables; 20 quarts
of canned fruits and preserves.
Most of this should come from the
perishable products of the many
home gardens of this year.
With these figures as a basis, it is
thought that almost any family may
calculate its requirements taking in
to consideration the length of the
winter season in any given locality.
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.
In using dried vegetables, it may
be assumed that given quantity Of
dried vegetables is equal to four
times its bulk of canned vegetables;
that is, one-fourth of a quart of dry
string beans when soaked over night
is approximately equal to one quart
canned.

Plans for Issuance of
United States
Government Bonds
