Make Tomato Sauce When
Cans Are Scarce.

Since tomatoes contain a very
high percentage of water, it is
often desirable to can only con.
centrated tomato products. This
is true especially when can or
jars are difficult to obtain. A
delicious concentrated tomato
sauce may be made and canned
as follows, says the United States
Department Of Agriculture. Small
or broken tomatoes and large
tomatoes unsuitable for canning
whole, may be used in this recipe.
Cut the tomatoes into fairly
small pieces and add one large
seized onion chopped and one cup
chopped sweet red pepper to one
gallon of tomatoes. Cook until
tender. Put through a sieve and
add mixture of one-third salt
and two.thirds sugar in a pro-
portion of one teaspoonful to each
quart of the mixture. Cook un.
til it has the consistency of ketch.
up, stirring constantly. Pack
hot into sterilized jars or bottles,

Then remove the Jars from the

Cotton Crop Increase Expected

Louisiana now has fewer boil
weevils than it has had in the
last ten years and the cotton crop,
as a result, will be materially
larger, according to W. r. Per.
klns OF the Louisiana State Uni
versity agricultural extension de.
partment. Many estimate the
increase over last year as 100 900
bales. Reports which Mr.. Per-
kins has received recently from

IN every section are gratlfed
over the scarcity of the pest. In
the northern part of the state tho
weevil is said to have almost dis
appeared. The severe winter and
unusually warm, dry spring and
contributed materially
to the eradication of the weevil,
agricultural men say. Continu-

Sell Your Horses Direct to U. S.

The attention of horse owners and
breeders is called to the announcement
of the War Department concerning the
purchase of horses for war purposes.
1t will be seen that breeders who offer
horses in carload lots are enabled to
deal directly with the Government. 1t
Is practicable also for groups of farm
ers to organize and offer carload lots.
Your County Agent will be glad to
aid farmers in conducting such nego-
tiations.
The prices at which they should be
offered is matter for the determine
ton of the farmers. The prices re-
Gently paid by the War Department
have been published and if they are
not known any citizen can obtain them
by addressing the Quartermaster Gen
eral, War Department., Washington,
D. C. The War Department does not
announce the prices which it will pay
under the new plan because they will
vary somewhat according to locality
and the quality of the animals. But if
reasonable offers are made it is believed
| that they will be entertained.
"This method of direct dealing with
the farmers is undertaken by the War
Department at the suggestion of the
Department of Agriculture which de-
sires to serve the farmers and the Gov
eminent at the same time by overcom-
ing some of the difference, heretofore
prevailing between what the farmer
has received and what the Government
has paid under the contract system.
Farmers who desire to sell horses
or mules in this way are advised to ap
ply to their County Agent for informa
ton as to the specifications of the ami
mails. As soon as the County Agen'
learns that there is prospect Of
enough available animals to make up ;
carload or more he will appoint day
and a place for assembling the animals
for the preliminary inspection and TO
the organization of the group of farm
ers for making an offer to the Depo
Quartermaster at the remount depot o
the district"
Only sound geldings of good qualit.
are wanted, not less than Is hand
bioh nor less than $50 lbs. in weight
The government can use good actlV
draft horses up to 100 lbs. in weight
No white or grey horses will be &C
cepted.
$50 lbs. and be of good conformatlo
and serviceably sound.
1t is hoped that this plan Will be O
real service to farmers having morse
or mules for sale.

Navy Needs Musicians.

While the number of apprentice sea
men to be enlisted each week from
Maryland has been limited by the Navy
Department, no curtailment has been
placed on mu-icians and machinists.
A large number of recruits are still
nee led in b 9TH of these ratings
Musicians are required only to have
a primary Knowledge of band mus ic.
If they can pass the necessary test,
they are given complete course in the
Navy's school for musicians and then
detailed aboard ship 1t is the inten.
ton of the Navy Department officials
to recruit the band of all the ships in
the service to their full strength
The pay of a Navy musician is good
and the surroundings are pleasant.
Promotion in this rating is rapid also
and the opportunities for travel are un
| limited
Full particulars of Navy enlistments
can be obtained from the nearest post
master; directly from the Navy Recruit
| ing Station, Calvert and Lexington
| Streets, Baltimore, or from the Navy
Recruiting Sub stations at Cumberland

Books for War Camps.

If you cannot fight at the front, you
can send a book to the man you are
sending to the front to do your fighting
for you. The government has asked
the American Library Association to
assume responsibility for supplying the
camps and environments with reading
material. Every group of soldiers,
small as we'll as large, is to have books.
The Public Library in Baltimore city
has been asked to get donations of books
and magazines. These will be sent to
the various camps and environments
throughout the country and will be
made available to the soldiers, either
directly, or through such agencies as
have facilities for distribution of books.
If you will write in each book your
name and address, the soldier who reads
it will know that someone in Prince
Georges is his friend and stands ready
to help him.
The following is suggested as to the
books and magazines desired:
Poorly printed, uninteresting. OBJ
viously out of-date books, are not worth
shipping to the men. Type should be
good and clear and the books In fair
! condition.
Books of good stories will be wanted
most, books of adventure, sea stories,
detective stories, historical novels ano
collections of short stories, especially
humorous ones. Such authors as Rip
ling, Doyle, McCutcheon, O'Henry
Stockton, Brindloss, Harrington, Hop
kinson, Smith, Oppenheim, etc, have
been found popular authors with men
Good poetry and drama can be utilized
All the men must be helped by these
libraries Some of them have not es
tablished reading habits. Some of the
books must therefore be light ant
easily read.
Foreign language study books, es
pecially French grammar and diction
aries, are much needed-possibly NOR
than any other non-fction books. IL
