START FARMING NOW.

Continuity of effort is synonymous
with iife's successes. 1t is sustained
accomplishment hat really counts,
and any lapse of effort in the general
program of life is time lost and re-
wards gone. 1t is probably some such
recognition of fact that has caused
Commissioner of Agriculture James H.
Stewart to urge the people of the
state to start preparations now for
tae opinion that the food supply is
* summers crops, for he is of
M of the biggest problems of the
wal and he recognizes that there must
be more work done next year in till
ing the soil than there has been in
the past.
Commissioner Stewart makes some
very Timely suggestions, and one is
that more presons obtain NOW a lit
tie piece of land which they can start
to till early in the spring. The anna
teur farmers last year increased the
production in the nation to a mar
velous degree, yet intensive farming
was still confined to only the few.
One of the best suggestions, how
ever, is that which deals with day
light. The commissioner urges all man
~ufacturers, coal operators and all en-
ployers of help to start the working
day earlier, permitting the workers
II more hour of Daylight which can
be devoted to raising something
which will feed someone.
NCW is the time to start farming.
Fences and buildings should be re-
paired; seed should be obtained
ground should be cleared and put
into shape to start preparing the soil
the moment the frost leaves it. 1t is
really surprising how much farm
work can be done in the winter in
this section where thermal conditions
permit it. A continuity of effort is
bound to bring not only prosperity
but the state of mind that with
having given all ones efforts instead
of just a portion-Chafleston Gaz.

brought forth a very tiny rodent.
Yet the food administration has
put the proposition squarely up to
the consumer. 1t has been able to
reach the baker because he is a
manufacturer. There are thousands
Of retailed articles which the le2is
lators have kindly excluded from the
reach of the government under the
provisions of the food control act,
But, taking this one item, it is found
that the cost of distribution from
the wholesale bakers door to the I'll
innate consumer represents 33 per
cent of the cost OF the bread. Sup
pose the government were to pro
pos a 33 per ZEN income tax on the
earnings of the average man. That
would be a different sort of a joke.
In reality the bread studies and the
results already reached by the gov
eminent in his efforts to reduce the
cost Of living are OF the highest i'm
portance. If as much cannot be done
in other lines under existing law,
the way at least has been pointed.
By the same token, if the eople fail
to avail themselves of the opportu-
nifty to serve their own purposes and
at the same time conserve the flour
supply as a whole, what boots it to
consider effective attacks on the
high cost in other directions? In
the choice presented of awaiting
themselves OF the opportunity for
re%trenehment without loss in the re.
ceipt of food values or of going
along the old unregulated path, it is
up to the people which they will
take.-Washington Post.

SMALL EFFORT, BIG RESULT.

One New York hotel, it is claimed,
has saved more than a ton of meat
by the establishment of meatless
Tuesday. The figure is impressive. 1t
illustrates what large results may
flow from a seemingly slight effort.
Multiply this one hotel by the num-
Der of hotels there are in American
cities and towns, add to the sum the
number of restaurants observing the
one meatless day A week and TO this
total the number of American homes
operating without meat on the table
one day a week-the weekly saving
in maets must reach a truly stipend
Gus figure. The incident merely shows
what a very slight concession, involv-
ing no sacrifice of health or comfort,
will accomplish if the American peo-
pc will indorse and act upon it. And
this is about all there is to food on
servation so far as the problem has
risen as yet in the United States
TIE voluntary acceptance by the peo-
pie of simple rules of consumption
which call for no hardships, threaten
no individuals health but involves a
saving. rather than an increase of
expense. There is nothing radical
about American food conservation. 1t

KNITTING THEN AND NOW.

In grandmother day every girl
was taught to knit, but most of the
knitting actually was done by the
elder women, supposed to be pos
sessed of greater leisure. Knitting
with the four fine steel needles and
fine yarn they used was a slow pro
cess.
Even a stoeking was the work o.
weeks, according to the time per day
devoted. It might be added that
when tapered and "toed' it was a
stocking recognized as such and not
mistaken either for a helmet Or a
mitt. Those were THE days when
knitting was a business. not an adj
venture or a freak Of fashion.
Grandmother a by the nreside
and ner needles clicked through the
daylight hours. She would hardly
have felt justified in taking her
knitting to church. Her descendants
seem to have gone daft over what
she took calmly.
