the farmer, in order that he may in
crease his yields per acre and increase
his acreage. At this very moment.
while we are talking, an important
committee is in session in Washington
for the purpnse- of drawing up soma
plan of mobilization of farm labor.
which we have reason to hope may
shed some clear light on the situa-
ton. because the whole big problem
OF agricultural production narrows it
self down to labor.
..It is aafeft innate that the war has
come upon Us after the majority of
the farm crops have been planted for
this year. as it binders us from do
ing adj that we might have done to-
ward results for this season. We are
doing all that can be done to meet
this seasons situation. and are max
ing extensive plans on an elaborate
scale for next years work.

more or less wastcfuf methods which
are unavoidable in mobilizing an

this country would give very small

this year to produce more agricultural
products than ever before. and 1t Is
the duty Of every farmer to literally

Secretary OF Agriculture Houston,
within the past few weeks has made
a statement to the public. in which he
says:
Tho importance to the nation of a
generously adequate food supply for
the coming year cannot be overem-
pEasized in view OF tho economic
problems which may arise as result,
OF the entrance OF the United States
into the war. Every effort should be
made to produce more crops than are
needed for our own requirements
Many millions OF people across the
seas as we'll as our own people. must
rely In large part upon the products
OF our fields and ranges.
This situation will continue to
exist even though hostilities should
end unexpectedly soon, since Euro
pean production cannot be restored
imm ediately to Its normal hasis. Rec

at large. as well as our own consum-
ers. must rely more strongly ON Amer

Tho Mother or Goethe.
The mother OF Goethe was only
eighteen years of age when he was
born. and during the poets early life
she was more like a playmate than a
mother. for she romped with him as
II she were his own age. While not
a woman OF brilliant intellect she was
an excellent story teller and an in
ventor OF stories such as children love.
She possessed fertile Imagination
In after years when somebody asked
the poet how he. acquired such a re-
markable Imagination he wrote:
From mother dear the frolic soul
The love of spinning fiction"
Goethc's mother was of a deeply
religious nature and early in life she
taught her children the love OF God
and when one of the boys died, the
poet, although only nine years of age
did not shed a tear. His mother did
not understand his attitude and asked
him If he did not love his little BROTH
err. But mother" he replied. God
has taken little Jacob to dwell with
Him In Heaven and he will be happy
why should I cry?" All through life
Goethe was devoted to his mother
and 1t was she who read his works as
soon as they were completed.
Royal Mothers.
OF the royal mothers. Queen Vic
toria Is perhaps the most noted. The
mother OF nine children she ruled
England with a wisdom rarely found

motherly care to her sons and daugh-
tiers. She instilled IN their minds the

her good influence was felt. Her pa

her one of the greatest characters In
history She was greatly beloved by
her subjects especially in the colonies.
Marie Therese. of Austria. the moth

of rare executive ability and she aid

of his people. She was the mother
of large family, and although at
fairs of state ,.auired much Of her

masculine character throughout her
entire life. she managed to find plenty
OF time to devote to her children, and
when her son. Joseph II. became the
Emperor. he declared that If he had
any fitness as a ruler 1t was due to
the love and teachings of his mother.

Much wheat Is wasted in the pres

tinued Professor Spillman. when
wheat Is milled into -four. the per-
centage OF -four made is only about
10 per cent. of the weight OF the
wheat when the -four Is OF the high
est grade OF patent white -four. Now
flour can be milled in such way as
TO turn out so per cent of lower
grade -four. which is actually more
nutritious than the higher grade white

obviated by milling all wheat in war
times. SO as to get the larger per-
centage OF -four from the wheat: and

Corn An Important Item.
The Department Of Agriculture also
advises great care in the harvesting
and utilizing of rye. whose place un-
der present conditions Is an important
one. Buckwheat. which may be
planted later than any similar crop,
| has demonstrated that the cereals, ex-
| cept rye. cannot be relied upon. at

food value for the money than most
of the other cereals. Fuller appre-
citation of it's value should stimulate

Texas. Arkansas and California. to an
extent that would increase the total
food supply greatly" it says.
Expand the corn crop" says the
Department. in referring to the lead
ing food and feed crop of the United
States. The vital importance of a
large acreage of corn is manifest.
Because OF the prices obtained for the
last crop and tho world demand for
this grain its profltableness to the
American farmer during the APP

The Outlook For The Potato Crop.
That seed potatoes should be con-
served by planting on the best lands
available for them and planning for
thorough tillage and protection OF the
crop against disease and insect pests.
Is the advice OF the Department in
referring to the conservation of the
useful tuber. In referring to this crop
Professor Spillman said:
Potatoes can be grown most adj
yantageously near the center OF pop
ulation In the Northern States where
transportation cost may be reduced

ton when conditions are favorable.
