FOOD CONSERVATIVES
WHAT is 1T?

Not that Americans themseles are
to go hungry.
NOT that we are to hoard up food
stuff against some unknown time in
the future.
JUST TWO VERY DIFFERENT
THINGS-First, That nobody shall
waste any food stuff of any kind. Sec
ond-That we Americans shall save
for our allies food which can be most
easily shipped and which they most
need.
WHERE-This idea grew out o. the
rape of Belgium and the devastation
of Europe. 1t has two sides; The pat
riotic, as when we eat cor ~" =
cost more than wheat; and the cold
business side of prices.
H0W-We must apply the conserva-
ton idea in terms ot patriotism and
of service and not mercy of prices or
else the war may be lost this winter
on the basis of Allies food shortage.
WHY-We can send only what we
save. We can save only what we do
not eat.

WORLD CROP REPORTS.
Some Products Have Bumper Crops
Others Below AvefaBe.

Washington, Nov. 25-Bumper
world crops of corn, oats, potatoes,
rice, sugar beets and tobacco for this
year are shown by estimates compiled
of the international Institute of Agri-
culture at Rome, made public today
by the Department of Agriculture.
Wheat, rye, barley and f1axseed how
ever, have fallen below the five year
average of production from 1911 to
1915.
The production of wheat in seven
teen countries not including the central
powers, will be 1858, 100000 bushels,
$3.50 per cent of the five-year average.
Corn raised will amount to 3,312,000,-
900 bushels, which is Id per cent
greater than the average production
for the past five years. Other crops
are estimated as follows:
Rye LAT, 100000 bushels, 92.2 per
cent.
Barley 5s7, 100000 bushels, 90 per

COTTON ESTIMATED
At IO,6SS,OOO BALES
U~nfavorable Weather of Fall Season
Curtails Yield: Frost Takes Heavy
Toll: Open Weather for Picking
Results in Advanced Harvest.

The Commercial Appeal estimates
the cotton crop of 1917 at 10, 200
bales, growth, excluding linters. This
compares with a total growth last
year of II, ,915 bales.
The extraordinarily u~nfavorable
weather Of the fall season has been re-
sponsible for a severe curtailment in
the yield. Freezing temperature at
almost a record early date brought
unprecedented damage on the late
crop. Furthermore, weather condi-
lions through the period between the
last government condition report and
the date of the killing frost were far
from favorable.
Frost and subsequent open weather
favorable to picking have resulted in
advancing the harvest across the
northern half of the belt to an unusual
stage for this period of the year.
Some small additions to the yield in
this territory, are resulting from the
picking of cracked bolls, which are
u through the gin. But even so the
damage from frost has been tremen-
dous.
Picking over the entire belt is we'll
advanced; to a much greater extent
than the very late crop would have
seemed to justify. Gins are keeping
well up with the pickers and save in
the Ease of wealthy landlords most
growers are selling their product as
ginned. However, these sales are
made only so long as the price holds
steady. Any indication of a pronoun-
c. decline is met with a withdrawal
of offers. Most farmers are out Of
debt and well able to finance their own
holdings until such a period as they
NAV choose to sell.

TEACHERS EXAMINATIONS.

Dear SUPPLEMENTARY next ex.
animation will be held December &c
and 81. There will be no examination
on the Reading Circle books, but there
will be a professional examination as
prescribed by law. While this exami-
nation will not be technically made
upon these books yet the subjects treat
ed by them are SO essential | shall con-
fine the questions largely to these sub
jects. Anyone with professional iudg-
ment to teach school should be able
to answer the questions whether he
has res8 tle books or not.
The last legislature placed music
and drawing upon the list of requir-
ed subjects to be taught in our public
schools. | therefore include these in
the next examination. / can promise
your teachers the examination will be
very easy this time but will gradually
grow more difficult as the teachers
have time to prepare themselves on
these subjects.
/ hope you are seeing to it that your
teachers are teaching both subjects.
Very truly yours,

HOG CHOLERA CONTROL
Organization Of Hog Raisers, Sanitary
Precautions and Serum Treatment
Materially Reduce Losses.

Although hog cholera cannot be com
pletely eradicated from the Unit
ed States under present conditions,
losses from the disease can be materi-
ally reduced by education and organi-
cation of hog raisers in the applica-
ton of proper sanitary measures and
the proper treatement of hogs with
anti-hog cholera serum. This has been
shown by the results obtained by the
bureau of animal industry of the Unit
ed States department of agriculture
in experimental work in hog cholera
control carried on in a number of
counties during the past four years.
The work and its result are described
in Department Bulletin 584, "The Con-
troll of Hog Chilera" recently publish
ed by the department.
One of the important results, accord
ing to the bulletin is the fact that the
work, while effective in reducing the
disease, was not repressive while in
progress on the hog raising industry.
On the contrary, the industry thrived
greater degree than in adjacent coun-
ties in which no control work was UNI
der way.
Actual statistics were taken in the
experimental counties and careful es-
Inmates we're made in the adjacent
counties. These show that in one
group of three counties where the con-
troll work has been under way for four
years the percentage of loss from chol-|
era has remained constantly from one1
fourth to two-ffths the percentage of
loss in the fifteen surrounding coun1
ties. In another group of experiment.
al counties the average percentage of
loss as compared with hat in eighteen
surrounding counties was reduced FROM
approximately nine-tenths in 1918 I'd
less than one-third in 1914 and I'd
about one-sixteenth in 1915.
Specialists who have supervised thd|
control work Of the department reach
tie conclusion That while the eradicsj
* ~ n cannot Sc expected|
fox Il con siderable time, the material
reduction by the use Of serum Of thd|
enormous losses which annually ard
caused by the disease is entirely prac1
ticable. The essentials for success iH
combating the disease, they point OUT
are interest on the part Of hog rails
ers and knowledge of the disease; or
~ganization which will facilitate ex1
change of information as to outbreaks
and secure assistance; serum at reas7|
enable prices and easy of access; and
the available service in the community
of persons skilled in administering
serum.

LIME SHOULD BE ORDERED NOW

Orders should be placed at this time
by farmers who intend to use lime on
their land in order to increase next
seasons crop. If orders are placed at
the present time the manufacturers
will be able, they say, to supply the ag-
ricultural needs. By being given or
ders now they will have six or eight
months in which to prepare the neces-
sary supply, whereas they will be
swamped if the orders all come in next
spring.
Lime applied in the fall or winter is
as effective as when applied in the
spring. Fall and winter application of
lime is urged as good farm practice
and also as an emergenc
ure. BY following this suggestion far
mers will be improving their land SO
as to turn out the largest possible
crop yield.

TO REoRGANIzE MD. GUARD
Sweeping Changes, Affecting High
Officers, Are Expected.

BALTIMORE, March 19.SThere will
be important changes in the Mary
land National Guard before many
weeks are over-changes that will
affect some of the higher officers.
There is to be a complete reorgani-
cation of the guard in Maryland. in
Guiding the probable recruiting
up to its war strength OF 1000 men.
Brig.-Gen. Charles ID. Gather, who
has been connected with the guard
for many years and Is thoroughly ia
miliar with conditions, has for some
time contemplated numerous changes
There is no doubt that the generals
ideas will be put into effect, soon.
Some of those who will receive
promotions are men who have not
been talked about much outside of
their own regiments or battalions
but who, nevertheless, have splendid
regulations for efficiency among those
who have watched their work and
know their ability.
Col. Benjamin W. Atkinson, chief
of staff at the headquarters of the
eighth division of the National Guard
section OF the United States army,
which were established in Baltimore
Saturday, is expected back soon. One
OF the first things Colonel Atkinson
will doewill be TO find out just how
the National Guard of Maryland
stands I'm the matter OF equipment.

ADMITS AID TO ENTENTE
But Germany Doubts Russian Rsvo.
luton Can Survive.

BERLIN March 10 Thy wIreIess).-
Germany is not sure the Russian rev
olution will be able to survive, In the
face of the Russian peoples demand
for bread.
High circles today were frank in
stating their opinion that the revolt
was distinctly an aid to England and
the entente. The old government has
been suspected OF a desire to make
a separate peace. But the new for
eign minister, Milukoff. Is known here
as England's friend. He and all other
members of the cabinet are known TO
favor continuation of the war.
These German officials suggested
today that Ia view OF the fact that
the Russian Socialists favor an imme-
diate peace there is likely to be an
other revolution against the revolu-
tionists-started by the workmen.
Doubt is expressed that the new
regime will be able to give the people
bread. 1t was precisely this PINCH Of
hunger which, In the main, caused the
FIRST revolution.

expressed disbelief that a country
rent with internal fights can success
fully advance in military fashion

BOILERS AGAIN HOT
ATST. ELIZADETH'S
All Buildings at Hospital Heat.
ed for First Time in Two
Weeks.

All buildings at st. Elizabeth's Hos
pital were heated today for the first
time in two weeks.
Because of coal shortage and the
threatened railroad strike, all the
heating boilers were closed down four
days ago, and patients, attendants
and members OF the hospital staff
have suffered much discomfort.
There has been no sickness or suf-
fering at the institution for lack Of
heat Superintendent White declared
today.
The hospital has an extensive
power plant which supplies light,
power, heat and water to all the
buildings, and runs the laundry and
repair machinery. For months the
supply OF coal has been short, and
It was possible to keep just enough
for operations.
Two weeks ago, to conserve the
coal, so as to insure the water sup
ply and essential power, and suffic-
lent coal for cooking, the boilers
heating the quarters Of the nurses,
attendants and hospital stan were
shut down.
-Four days ago, with the coal SUD-
