how to grow sweet potatoes, the
specialists point out. Farmers know
how to produce large yields of this
crop. But the farmer must be i'm
pressed with the necessity of increas-
ing his acreage OF this crop, and then.
when harvest comes, to prevent the
enormous loss from improper handl-
ing and storing. The best way to
keep sweet potatoes is to store them
in well.ventilated storage houses,
not "dugouts." Storage houses should
be made ready as soon as possible. In
Farmers Bulletin 54s, "Storing and
Marketing Sweet Potatoes," instruc-
tons for building such houses and for
converting old and unoccupied build
ings are given.

lFrom The Rolla Herald. !

iFr0m Ihe ROlla Hefhlul
Hon. Frank Fl. Farris, Representa-
tive of Phelps County, was the guest
Of honor at an elegant banquet given
Tuesday evening by the Commercial
Club and citizens of Rolla. 1t was
served by st. Louis catering COM
pany at Jackling Gymnasium OF the
School of Mines. 1t was an evidence
of the esteem in which Mr.. Farris is
held by our people, ard also as an ap-
probation OF his splendid services in
the Legislature to his town, his coun-
ty and to the state. Not only was this
fact testified to by the people OF
Rolla, but there were number OF
Representative who honored the oc-
casion with their presence, and all
joined in paying tributes to the dis
tinguished guest Of honor, and all de-
clared that they were willing to do
their part to make him the next Gov
ernor of Missouri. These sentiments
were met with loud outbursts OF ap'
plause.
The climax of the evening came
when Hon. John o. Holmes, Of Rolla
from Maries County, and later from
Phelps County, arose, and In few
we'll chosen words, on behalf OF the
citizens of Rolla, presented Repre-
sentative Farris with handsome
diamond stud as further testimonial
OF love and esteem in which he is hele
by his home people.
Representative Fsyris arose, and II
an eloquent speech accepted the dia
mond stud. He referred to his boy
hood days in the Ozark section. liz
reviewed his record as Representative
and State Senator, and again as Rep
reseutative. He declared that HI
appreciated the gift, that the gold ant
the diamond were precious to him
bu. above and beyond all else he priz
ed the esteem and love OF the peopl'
he loved to serve.
AT the conclusion Of his speech tn
nearly one hundred and fifty banquet
ers came forward and shook his hand
and congratulated MN.

His Winter Eggs Cost Eighteen Cents
Dozen.

Did you pay war prices for eggs last
winter? Most folks did, but while
neighburs were paying from IS to 40
cents dozen for eggs, II. l.. Kemp
ster of the Missouri College of Agri.
culture was obtaining his for is cents.
He had small poultry plant in his
back yard. His chicken house, six
feet square, was built for less than 81
The flock, consisting of ten White
Leghorn pullets, was placed in the
new house November l. No male
bird was included in the flock. No
space was available for yard. but
the confinement, which is not advis-
able for breeding stock, did not seem
to reduce egg production.
The ten hens produced 400 eggs
from November to March 81. Mr..
Kempster considers this production
good since only two of the hens were
old enough to lay before January /.
Only A eggs were laid the first two
months while 1865 were laid during
Janruay, February and March. Even
then the 400 eggs we're produced at a
food cost of 81. 90 or less than S0.1S a
dozen. At market prices which aver
aged s0.35 q dozen, the eggs were
worth $l2 10. In other words
the hens returned a profit Of fifty
cents above cost Of feed. During
March the feed cost OF q dozen O
eggs was less than nine cents dozen
1t is thus seen that the longer thu
hens are kept the lower the feed cos
OF a dozen eggs will be. BY July l, i
!. will be not more than IL cents dozel
for the whole period. The test ha
demonstrated that laying hens can b.
kept on any back yard no matter no,
small without becoming an objection
: to the neighbors, and that eggs can b
economically produced.
The birds may be used for meat q
soon as they become tIoody ant
cease laying. The market valu
usually increases until June 80 tha
the initial investment with interes
can be obtained at anytime by sollin
the birds.
Why cannot moro consumers be
come producers under Mr.. Kempstet
plan? In view Of q more serious foo
shortage the back yard poultry Il
; would be even more profitable tina
} 1t was last winter.

Increase the Acreage Of Sweet Potatoes in
the South.

WASHINGTON, d. C.--Seed to plant
an acre Of Irish potatoes costs about
$40 this spring. Seed sweet potatoes
will not cost more than "a per acre
where vine cuttings taken from early
set plants are used. The yield OF
sweet potatoes per acre is usually
greater than that Of Irish potatoes
and as food they are as nutritious.
Sweet potatoes may be grown through
out the Southern States and, Of course,
in certain other sections. Specialists
in the U. 8. Department Of Agricul'
ture are urging an increase OF this
crop wherever 1t can be easily grown.
Sweet potatoes, 1t is pointed out,
are the South's chief instrument for a
quick and effective increase Of the
food supply. Seed IL plentiful; last
years. crop was the second largest
ever produced. BY means Of vine
cuttings ILLS possible to plant almost
unlimited areas Of this crop and at the
same time conserve the present sup.
ply. That is, . farmer who wishes to
plant 10 acres will bed seed enough
say 8 to 10 bushels-to get slips for
one acre. Vine cuttings from this
acre would plant mary more acres,
planting being possible until the first
OF August In the lower South. This
system, now widely used In tho South,
, enables the utilization Of land from
which early potatoes, cabbage, and
other truck crops have been taken.
Sweet potatoes are not expensive to
grow. The msln limiting factor to
the production Of vest quantities BY

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN
FRANCE, Nov. 2s.-Amercan ordnance
experts have figured that the Germans
in raids on American trenches thus far
have expended more than 100000
worth of ammunition alone.
The development Of the men of the
first American contingent in France
in the science Of war was described to-
day as truly remarkable by the general
commanding the division, who has been
in the service for years.
81 have been in the army since I was
a boy" he said. During that time !
have observed many American and
many foreign soldiers, but never in my
life have seen anything equalling the
men now here. When my division
landed We had shock-headed boys-I
call them shock-headed because they
were just that-by the hundreds. They
were clerks, mechanics. day laborers,
farmer boys, old and young. from every
walk OF life. Some spoke English and
some did not. There were Poles, Bo-
hemians, Russians, Jews, Gentiles. But
in this short time they have all become
hrst class soldiers, energetic to the eX-
IRENE. and have fallen into the ways Of
army life as / never thought possible.
Game To the Core
"They are game TO the core, and their
one idea is 10 beat the Germans, and
give them a good beating. There isn't
d streak Of yellow in tie whole lot,
and their morale, even in the trenches,
is fine.
Here is an example: One night re-
Gently an officer called for volunteers

so that the light would not shine on
them. During the backing one pri-

Food Adequate for
1918, Says Berlin Chief

AMSTERDAM, Nov. 2e.-Speaking in
the Prussisn Lower House to-day on
food conditions, Herr Won Waldow,
president Of the German Food Regu-
lation Board, said:
considerable supplies Of grain for
making bread have been provided by
early thrsshing. The Imperial German
Bureau has already received 1000 $50
tons. as compared with $4,000 tons
last year. The potato crop may be
regarded as satisfactory-almost as a
good one-end we count upon having
$4,000, 900 tons. Distribution vii! be
carried out much more efficiently than
in recent years. The same quantity
of sugar as formerly can be delivered.
ave shall still have to bear many
restrictions. but we have adequate
food supplies for the new year"
Herr Won Waldow said that bread
and potatoes would form the basis Of
the food supply.

was TO patrol was extremely dangerous
and that he might be a casualty within
thirty minutes.

who was hatless. Undiscovered and limp

him what was the matter. The soldier
stood on one foot. the other being in
jured. He saluted, ana said his horse
had started TO run into a stone wall, so
he threw him down, but fell under him.
That's the spirit we are getting. The
man was badly hurt, but even that did
not make him forget his training OF
few weeks.
Wounded Mems Souvenirs
81 was returning at that time from
the hospital, where saw few wounded
men. Some Of the mems proudest and
most valuable possessions on earth are
bullets and pieces OF shrapnel which
thoughtful surgeons saved for them on
extracting. Every man wanted TO ex-
hibit the cause of his wound. Their
thoughts were all about recovering, re-
joining their regiments and getting a
chance TO pay back the enemy in mis-
own coin"
The business of cutting and trans
porting wood for fuel has become one
OF first importance with the American
force. For several weeks large detach-
ments have been at work deep within
the forests in France.
So great has been the scarcity, which
now is beginning to be alleyiated, that
the troops on their hikes have been
marched through nearby forests, where
every man picked up pieces Of wood to
carry back to me billets.
The uniform of the American soldier
is undergoing a further change. large
number Of troops have turned in their
long overcoats, TO receive in exchange
coats Of the same material, but much
shorter in length. Because of the per-
petual mud, it was found that the long
coats soon became caked and heavy and
Topped about the legs Of the soldiers.
