WARTIME ECONOMY
IN CLOTHING

While food conservation is especial
ly important at this time, Miss Mary
E. Robinson of the Univ ersity of Mis-
souri, College of Agriculture, suggests
that conservation of clothing is equal
ly important. Miss Robinson has sug-
| gested that women econOmize on
clothing not only to save money but
to conserve textile materials Wher-
ever possible last seasons clothing
should be adapted to the present sea-
son.
If it is necessary to buy new gar
ments, the number should be as small
as possible. This is an excellent time
TO-, adopt some simple style of dress
of serviceable materials and standard
colors which may be worn more than
one season. Hats, Miss Robinson
suggests, should also be of simple
style with little or no trimming. Last
seasons hats may be easily removal
ed and made very attractive.
Shoes do not always give the SER
vice that they should in view of their
cost The durable, rather than the
dainty style, should be selected.
Dainty shoes are necessarily short
wearing.
The housewife may effect savings
by pressing, dyeing, patching, darn
ing, and re-making garments already
on hand. When it is absolutely nee
essary to buy new clothing, thrift may
be practiced by buying wisely and
doing the sewing at home. In this
way the housewife can perform a
national service. At this time the en-
barrassment which formerly accom-
panied the wearing of last seasons
dress becomes an honor. In this way
also the textiles which ordinarily are
devoted to clothing may be relieved
for the needs of soldiers, surgeons and
nurses.

CANNING TIMETABLE REVISED

Reports have come to the Univer-
sity Of Missouri College of Agriculture
indicating that the method of can
ming vegetables which has proved
completely successful in previous
years is resulting in a number of fail
ures this year. No satisfactory rea-
son can be offered except that there
is some evidence that the bacteria
which cause canned vegetables to
spoil are more resistant in some years
than others. 1t is probable also that
the inferior can rubbers and can tops
on the market this year may be caus-
ing the trouble.
In the absence of a satisfactory eX-
PLANTATION of the trouble which house
wives have been having with canned
vegetables, the College of Agriculture
recommends that the period of steril-
ization for certain, vegetables be in
creased in accordance with the follow
ing: The time for sterilizing aspara-
gus which was 1-2 hours should be
increased to hours, greens formerly
l IL hours increased to 2 hours,
pumpkin formerly hour increased to
2 hours, squash formerly / hour in
creased to hours, lima beans former
ly hours increased to hours, peas
formerly 2 hours increased to hours.
This change in the time of sterili-
cation does not mean that the shorter
period is not correct with careful
work and with conditions as they have
been in previous years but the longer
period will tend to correct imperfect
workmanship and the unusual condi-
tons which seem to prevail this year
The following points are again en-
phasized:
l. Do not begin to count time when
the jars are placed in the Gamer, but
wait until the water begins to boil
hard.
2. Count time only when the water
is boiling hard. If it stops for only
few minutes, make up for lost time
with longer boiling.
3. Use only new rubbers. If they
are so poor that they are destroyed in
the boiling or if they slip from I'M
der the lid or are cut by the lid when
it is screwed down, remove the rub
Der, replace it with a new one which
has been placed in boiling water for
10 minutes. Then place the jar back
in the Gamer and sterilize for 80 min
utes longer.
A. Fit lids carefully before placing
the product in the can.
5. Do not be alarmed if the water
does not cover the product in the can.
1t will keep just as WELL Some wa
ter will escape in the form of steam
if the lid is not fairly tight and some
will be absorbed by the product es-
pecially if it is corn or mature peas
and beans.

raj use of fertilizer drills some farm
ers sowed fertilizers through the
grain feed of their drills by placing
grain and fertilizer into same box.
In sowing fertilizers through a seed
er or grain drill Of any kind special
precaution must be taken to keep the
material stirred down into the seed
cups. With any of these methods
other than the fertilizer drill it re-
quires a little ingenuity and some ex-
perimenting to get the proper amount
Of fertilizer distributed evenly. For
most Missouri soils it is best to use
about $50 pounds per acre of the
higher grade fertilizers. More of the
low grade materials should be used
and heavier applications are neces-
sary where the fertilizer must be
broadcast on the surface and worked
in.

AUSTRALIANS HEAR
OF MISSOURI COLLEGE

The May 26 issue of the Melbourne
(Australia) Herald contains an arti-
Gle by Professor Charles G. Ross of
the University of Missouri School of
journalism on making the college
benefit the farmer. Mr.. Ross discus
ses the American colleges of agricul-
ture and cites the Missouri College
of Agriculture as typical institution.
He recommends that some of the ac-
tivities of the Missouri college be
adopted for the Australian colleges.
He recommends especially a short
course similar to the one given in
Missouri. This suggestion met ia
vorable comment in the Island Con-
tinent. The article in which Prof.
Ross discusses the Missouri College
of Agriculture is the last CT series
of four articles on agricultural edu-
cation.

HELPS IN FOOD CAMPAIGN

AS part of the national program
of food conservation and control, the
University of Missouri is giving, dur
ing July, series of public lecturers
and demonstrations dealing with diff
ferent food problems. The series was
proposed by Herbert Hoover, nation
al food commissioner. Dean F. B.
Mumford of the College of Agricul-
ture gave the first lecture on "Fed-
eral and State Plans for Food Con-
servation." Some of the subjects are
elimination of Food Waste" "Prin-
ciples of Food Preservation, T" "Sub-
stitutes for Wheat and Other Foods.
Demonstrations will be given in can
ming and drying fruits and vegeta-
bles. All lectures and demonstra-
tons will be given by members of the
University faculty who are experts
in their respective fields.

DISEASES COST STATE
NEEDLESS MILLIONS

The last monthly bulletin of the In
diana State Board of Health gives
some striking facts and asks some
pointed questions. The facts are;
The population of Indiana is $780,
900; they spend $10,000,000 a year
having consumption; $2,300,000 on ty-
phoid fever; $1,500,000 having pneu-
monia; $5,000,000 on insanity; ST..
100000 on feeble-mindedness and idi-
ocy; 100000 on epilepsy, and 3d.
| 100000 on venereal diseases. Thir.
teen hundred babies die every veal
from stomach and diarrheal troubles,
chiefly the result of dirty milk. In
diana spends $4,500,000 a year board
ing rats.
Are we in Missouri any better off
than the people in Indiana, or are we
more intelligent? Have we better
health conditions? Are we any more
awake to the criminal and foolish
waste of money which is going on in
the State in allowing preventable di-
seases to take off our bodied men
and women and our babies? The an
swer to this question is-NO.
III lacC, MISSOURI doeS not spend
anything like the amount of money
on health matters that Indiana spends.
Missouri is not as wide awake as In
diana is to the necessity of prevent
ing diseases. In a single year Mis-
souri, lost only 10000 children under
5 years of age, and of these 6,495 were
under l year. There is urgent need
for us to wake up and to spend more
money on the prevention of diseases
and the saving Of life in our proud
State.

HOW TO APPLY FER
TILIZERS FOR WHEAT

Plants can utilize only such food
materials as dissolve in the soil mois-
ture and come in contact with their
roots. Since much of even the best
fertilizers does not dissolve very cas-
lily, they should be put down into the
moist soil where the feeding roots of
the plant can come into contact with
them.
For these reasons, best results will
be had when application is made with
the combined fertilizer and grain drill
which puts the fertilizer and seed
down into the moist soil together.
There is little if any danger of the
fertilizer injuring the seed as is shown
by many years of practice. No other
means has proved quite so effective.
Nearly all drill manufacturers now
make these combined fertilizer and
in the one-horse size for use between
corn rows. Where wheat grower
now has good drill without the fer
tilizer attachment and hence does not
want to buy new one, R. R. Hudle-
son of the University of Missouri
College of Agriculture suggests that
fair results may be obtained by dis
tributing the fertilizer on the surface
and working it in thoroughly with
disk or harrow. Where a limestone
spreader is available it can be used
for this purpose If precautions against
sowing too much are taken. Some
times the broadcasting is done by
hand, although it is not very good
method, or an endgate seeder may be
used. Before the days of the gene

WEEDS AND WATER
ENEMIES OF ROADS

Everyone knows that water is de-
structive of good roads. After rains,
country roads are usually in bad con-
dition, and then is the time for the
farmer to "do his bit" and show his
patriotism by repairing such damage
and preventing further loss, This
may be done in two ways: first, by
opening up side bitches and connect
ing the ruts with these bitches so
that showers will be promptly car
ried off; second, by cutting the weeds
and brush between fences to let the
sunshine dry up the pools that do not
drain. On clay roads small amount
of work expended in eliminating ruts
at the time the road is beginning to
dry up will place it in good condi-
ton.
Every farmer should feel a person
al responsibility for the stretch of
road in front of his own farm, and
should exert himself to do what he
can to keep it in proper condition to
travel. Weeds growing in the high
way will scatter their seeds over his
fields, and he cannot avoid RESPONSE
bility for this neglect simply because
they grew outside his fence lines

OUR FINANCIAL STRENGTH

Two billion dollars is a tremendous
sum of money. Yet the American
people have loaned their Government
that much and have barely touched
their resources. The money was rails
ed so easily it only seemed to show
the tremendous financial strength OF
the country.
1t is not one-tenth of our bank
deposits. 1t is less than one-eighth OF
our bank loans for one year. 1t was
less than one-half of our national
savings for 1916 and only per cent
Of our national income for that year
according to estimates.
Not only is this first Liberty Loan
Bond issue of two million dollars much
larger than the initial loans of any OF
the other nations engaged in the wal
but it was raised in much less time
with much less effort and was sub

The coming second issue of Liberty

educated as to Government bond issues
and Government finances in general
it is reasonable to suppose, will be
disposed of with even greater success
than the initial issue.
The over-subscription to the initial

well for the success of the next loan

one can afford to haul two-dollar

DONATIONS STILL
BEING RECEIVED IN
RED CROSS CANVASS

With three township reports not
yet turned in to the auditing commit
tee, $27,977.S0 had been received by
the committee this morning on the
Red Cross fund.
The three missing townships, Alb
ington, Center and Jackson. will have
their final total ready by tonight or
tomorrow, and the definite results OF
the campaign will then be known.
Both in Richmond and in the sur
rounding country, scattering dona-
lions from people who had not been
approached by the canvassers contin-
ued yesterday and today. These will
not change the figures much, however.
Richmond's total gift was $19,575.29.
Slight changes were made in some OF
the township figures from the report
given Monday evening, but most OF
them remained unchanged.
When Center. Clay and Jackson re-
port, the fund Is expected to be above
$4,000, according to Chairman Brat
felt of the auditing committee.
