Worms Build a Great Dixie.

The famous Mont st. Michel, off the
north coast of France. is rapidly ceas-
ing to be an island. The reason. as
told to the Academic des Sciences in
Paris by Messrs. Houlbert and Ga

those little sea worms which incase
themselves in stony shells and are so
often found upon the shells Of oysters,
are building dixie across the entrance
to the bay. and behind this dixie the
sand is piling up with every tide. 1t is
estimated that this dixie is now nearly
two miles wide and from fifteen to
eighteen feet deep.

Raw eggs keep good much longer
than cooked eggs, even when these are
hard boiled. This was proved by DR..
Leon Lindet, member Of the Paris
Conseil d'Hygiene, after many French
soldiers had reported that the hard
boiled eggs they received from home
had gone bad, while the raw eggs re-
manned edible for weeks.
DR.. Lindet explains this fact by say
ing that the boiling makes the inner
membrane pervious to gases, liquids
and microbes, and the white of the egg
becomes an agglomeration Of coagu-
lated albumen and particles of serum
that is an ideal medium in which mi
crObes thrive.

Wild Carrot Seed.

Seeds of the wild carrot are small
but very numerous and are covered
with weak bristles which catch on
wool, hair and clothing and distribute
the weed for considerable distances.
They frequently are harvested with
grass, clover and alfalfa seed and are
widely distributed by this means. AS

seeds are usually without barbs, as

PROVIDING MEAT
FOR THE NATION
Forward Looking Farmers TAX
ing Steps to Maintain Supply.
AS IMPORTANT AS GRAIN
AS MUCH LIVESTOCK SHOULD BE
GROWN TO MATURITY AS
CAN BE PRoFITABLY
FED.

College Park, Md, July 19.-No
greater problem faces the producers
today than the maintenance of the ma
tion's meat supply High prices are
tempting farmers everywhere to sell
young stock before full maturity.
Many, however, realize the danger OF
such shortage and are taking steps to
maintain production. In cooperation
with the county demonstration agents
of Maryland, S. S. Buckley, specialist
in animal industry, is working active
ly with the farmers of the State in
maintaining the supply Of livestock.
In regard to the present situation, DR..
Buckley says: Present high prices
for feed of all kinds and abnormal
prices for food animals offer great
temptation to the farmer for dispos-
ing of his livestock at prevailing
prices and the sale of his hay and
grain direct Dairymen in many In
stances are closing out their dairy
stock and entering hay and grain farm
ing operations. Many others are sell
nA9g their young stock in view of the
expense of raising them-with the In
tention of replenishing their herds
when conditions become normal. Some
farmers, formerly feeders of cattle, re-
frain from buying feeders and offer
their grain on the market.
The sheep industry is at low ebb in
Maryland as an industry, but even here
the tendency to sell the lambs at pres
ent high prices is calculated to still
further depress it.
Hog growers are Offering their
breeding hogs and pigs for the imme-
diate returns of the abnormal market.
While it is admitted that the oppor-
tunitdes for financial profit are less
than under normal conditions for
dairying, feed and production of live
stock, yet, the farmer alone can pro
duce those foodstuffs which the nation
demands.

A Patriotic Duty.

"At the sacrifice of personal con-
venience and the sacrifice of profit the
farmers of the country must accept
the situation as it exists and do their
part in sustaining the nation in the
EMERGENCY of food shortage. There
will be little money profit perhaps, but
there is underlying this work wol
derful obligation and with proper
management there is no necessity for
financial loss.
1.-THE farmers of Maryland are
planting full acreages, limited only by
the amounts of labor in sight for the
harvest of crops. These acres and
these crops are more or less finally
planned for this season. Grain crops
can be planted and harvested within
the year-not so, however, with the
increase in foods from animal sources
Scarcity of animals requires several

there Is a real deficiency in the num-

situation be Improved and tho time

go further-plant crops for animals
which they themselves can harvest.
Let no animal leave the farm until it
has made full growth, If there is any
possible way that 1t can be fed. Plant
crops now that will furnish feed for
animals during the coming winter and
spring. There will probably be an
abundance of roughage in the form of
corn fodder and straw. Grow peas,
beans and root crops. Plant rotations
for the hogs. Cure all pea and bean
vines for hay. Sacrifice nothing that
can be utilized as animal food either
during the growing season or for win
ter use.
Another year will probably find an
even greater necessity for feeding
farm animals on growing crops than
exists now and furthermore there will
likely be a continuation Of seed short

small sections of crops be reserved
for seed for next years planting. In

HOLDS WHARF
RA1ESUNFAIR

Asserting that the manner in which
wharf charges are levied against YES
sells when lying at ports other than
Honolulu, Kahului and Hilu is mani
testify unfair, the InSer-Is!and Steam
Navigation Co. has filed letter with
the harbor board.
To this letter the harbor board has
in turn replied that the rates are
set by the territorial laws, and that
the only hope for a change lies in
bill or resolution IF the legislature
at it's next meeting. incidentally the
harbor board asks for a statement as
to the receipts the company gets in
year from the consignOrs or con-
signees Of freight at these ports, stat
ing that it understands such
charges are levied.
In a lengthy letter TO the board,
Norman L. Gedge, conEany official,
takes up the matter. He points out
that the rate per ton per hour on
the total tonnage of lbs vessel lying
in the open sea is measured from the
time the first shore boa: arrives at
the landing until the las: shore boat
4S1hOo lilS 4eInG4L4S 1OI ILA> 'SSF'S''
Mr.. Gedge contends that the meas
ure of usefulness of the "harf can
not be the vessel lying IN the oren
sea. This measure should be YES
sci actually dischargifg AT the wharf.
1T is, We assert" he sa-s, with
out fear of contradiction. the most in
equitable manner in witch such dues
could be levied or assessed.
We take it for grarted," he says
further in the compliant, that the
strong should help the weak; fnat
ports where large tonnage is landed
should keep ports where there is a
small amount of tonnage. Quite the
contrary is the present system OF
landing charges of your honorable
board"
