Err

Washington, April 1S.-The peris-
cope of submarine running submerg
ed was sighted by the deck officer,
quartermaSter and deck watch of the
destroyer Smith early yesterday
morning just before the wake of the
torpedo was seen crossing the de-
stroyer's bows.
This information was contained iii
a radio report from the commander
Of the Smith received today at the
Navy Department. Navy officials said
this confirms the report of the pres
ence of a German submarine in Amer
lean waters.
The officers on watch ON the Smith
reported that the periscope was dis
tinctly visible at a distance of 300
yards from the ship. The quarter
master and the members of the gun
crew agreed in this report.
The report from the officer said the
periscope was moving on a course par
allel to that of the destroyer. The
toredo crossed the bows of the Smith
at distance of thirty yards as re-
ported yesterday and todays' state
ment added that all of the men on the

HINTS ON PRODUCING AND
CANNING.

Housekeepers, get your old glass
jars and go to canning! Canned
products are going to be high next
season, as the price Of tin cans has
advanced almost 100 per cent and
Is still soaring.
Plant your back yards and any 9TH
er available spot in vegetables and
can the surplus for winter useA
Canning Is not "a difficult process.
and any housewife should be able to
pack a jar or two most days during
the summer season, that green and
juicy things may be added to the mo-
notonous diet of winter.
The past years prices cut down the
amount of canned fruits and vegeta-
bles used on the family table, and We
began to appreciate just what it would
mean to be deprived of these even to
a limited extent.
The care of garden is not a bur-
den to a normal woman, and almost
any back yard of sunny exposure
can. with little attention each day
be converted into a place where we
IAN have all kinds of green things
growing"
We should wish to be careful just
what we select to plant in our small
garden If we wish to eat part fresh

Any of the fascinatin seed cata-
ogues will tell you the time of plant

| Iartment Bulletin on The Home
Garden" will give you additional in
struction.
Make up your mind that you are go
ing to be patriotic enough to produce
what you eat this summer, with pos
5ibly little to spare for your neigh
bors. In these troubious times, when
America must not only feed herself.
1ut must produce enough to assist in
feeding the rest of the world, it is the
patriotic duty of every citizen to do
lis part in this production.
Every housewife who mas new or old
glass jars should look them over and
Bring them out to be filled. l have
seen Mason jars thirty years old doing
good service when fitted with a Wh.l e
Crown top and a new rubber. And it
IS going to be necessary to use all
these for the family. that the lin may
be left for those who are canning for
the market.

KEEP YOUR TOWN ALIVE.

A town is very much like an indi

energy and enterprise. The people ir

extent upon the character Of the place

Every public measure should be lib

the business men. AT the prescE
day there is as much competition be-
tween towns as there is among per
sons and business enterprises.

select a town that is up to the times
and is eagerly in favor of every mod
ern Improvement. A town in these
modern times can't afford to be pcp-

then be applied when the corn Is waist

In response to the call for food SUD-

Southern farmer should plant as large

from 500 to 600 pounds of fertilizer be

CHEAPEST WAY TO O.FEED FARM ANIMALS
IS TO HAVE THEM CRAZE IN PASTURES

Clemson College, S. C.-The cheap.
est way to feed animals is to have
them Craze in pastures 1t is an easy
anu sure way to make money. The
pronts per acre may not be large but
comparative large acreage can be
used with a small amount of man la
Dor.
AS all kinds Of land may be used for
grazing there need not be any idle
iand on the farm. Much land can be
used for grazing that is not suited &C
staple crops. Pastures occupy some
OF the best land in the country and
pay profit on it.
For the cotton belt, Bermuda, Les

: are the best plants to occupy the pas.
ture area and for any given quantity
and area OF land will carry the largest
number OF animals. When we'll estab.
hshed on good land this combination
OF plants will carry as many as four
grown cows per acre. A pasture that
will carry one grown COW per acre is
a good one.
FOR the rest Of the country. ex

Grasses and White Glover make the
best pastures and these plants are
well adapted to the section indicated.
"A blue grass pasture that will carry

For the country north of the cotton
belt the blue grasses and white clover
are SO aggressive that they occupy
land not otherwise used SO that most
OF the good blue grass pastures OF the
country are established by natural
agencies and this Is a desirable and
easy way to get a good pasture. Most
OF the large area Of land used for graz

plants established by natural agencies

grazing, but often 1t results in very
