SOME HICHLIGHTS ON PROHIBITION

In Farm ard Fireside the following
highlights on the national prohibition
situation are given:
Twenty two States and the District
of Columbia have been voted dry. These
are Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Colo
RADIO, District of Columbia, Idaho, Iowa,
Kansas, Maine, Mississippi, Michigan,
Montana, Nebraska, North Carolina,
North Dakota, Oklahoma, Oregon, South
Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee. Vir-
ginia, Washington. and West Virginia.
'Of the 2,543 counties in all the States
of the Union, only 355 are wet, and some
of those are only partially wet. Most of
these 355 counties, however, are densely
populated.
estates considered nearly dry and
ready for prohibition are: Texas, Utah,
Wyoming, New Mexico. and Florida.
1.-The wettest State of all is Nevada,
with New Jersey, New York, Illinois,
and California also strongly resisting pro-
inhibition.
''The two Indian reservations in Ne
vada are the only portion of that State
which are dry; they are dry by govern
ment regulation The District of Co
lumbia will be dry November 1st of this
year."

WE SHOULD POSSESS THE BAHAMAS.

Now that Uncle Sam has greatly en-
HANGED the -afety of his communication
with the Panama Canal by acquiring the
Virgin Islands, where powerful naval
station will undoubtedly be established,
he should make an effort to add to his
West Indian. possessions the Bahamas,
which with some 5000 isiets and reefs
form a semi circle between the south
coast of Florida and the north coast OF
Cuba, the nearest of them being within
few hours sailing distance of Palm
Beach. Great Britain has no special
need of these islands that flank Key
West and the route into the Caribbean
Cor any general purpose OF defense. whli2
they WOULD form an important link IN the
defense OF the United States. We ars
also much more closely related 10 the
Bahamas commercially than Is Gre
Britain, as our trade with them exceeds

gate trade Of the ISLANDS with their home

States would be mutually beneficial We

to watering and ventilation. Water
only when the plants need it and in all
cases apply the water during the morn
ing Of sunny days. This will give time
for the leaves to get dry before night
ard does not tend to reduce the tempera-
ture any during the night.
Concerning ventilation it is sufficient
TO Say that the temp rature must be
regulated largely by opening and closing
the sash. II is best to do this by i'f'lng
one side or one end of the sash curing
the middle of the day.
In case of sudden squalls the sash
must be closed quickly.
Forcing nils are used to hast gro Nih
of plants in the field. They consis = a
protecting frame and single piece OF
glass for cover.
Some of the recently patented hill
forcers are made from glass and wire.
These forcers tend to hasten the ma
turity of the crops but are likely to be
100 expensive to use extensively.

THE COUNTRY'S VITAL iIEFD.

The country's vital need is not money
nor men, for they can be had in abun
dance. but an assurance Of food for the
coming year both for ourselves and fer
the Allies, who must depend very large
" upon the United States for their sup
ply.
The food situation is so serious that
Pre- sident Wilson has appealed to the
nation to meet it and many of the lead
Ing business men are suggesting ways
and means by which it can be met.
A frequent suggestion has been the
cultivation of back yards and even of
lawns, and great corporations. both in
dustrial and railroad, are offering the
use of unoccupied land to their employ
ees for cultivation.
The carrying out of this plan will mean
an increase of food such as can be grown
in gardens but not so great as will be ex-
pected, for many back yards do not con-
tain good soil and many of the people
who will Cultivate them lack experience
in gardening. The plan, however. is
well worth trying and will work we'll in
the villages.
But the great dependence must be on
the farms. President Wilson, in letter
read at a meeting of the National Ag'
ricultural society held in Washington
April 10th, appealed to the farmer tC
swell his production as patriotic wal
time duty and declared that the farmer
by planting and increasing his production
in every way. possible will perform a
labor for which he will be recompensed
as soldier of the commissary.
In increasing his production the farmer
will not only help the country but will
help himself, for prices of farm products
must continue high and there will Of
course be a ready market for them.
This increase of production should not
be of potatoes alone, but of oats, corn
beans, in short, anything that can be
produced on our farms, including cattle
and swine. We have not mentioned
wheat and yet some of us can remembe

Farmers Under Handicap.

w AsHINGToN, April IS. American
farmers are starting under a handicap in
their efforts to carry out President Will
sons appeal for increased production of
foodstuffs.
Almost everywhere throughout the
country during the last week tempera-
lures were unfavorable and the season is
generally backward, according to the
weekly review of the National Weather
and Crop Bulletin of the weather bureau.
Pastures and ranges started slowly,
due to dry weather, and over the upper
Rockies snow still remains over large
areas. In the Northwestern States veg
citation is still nearly dormant. Germa-
nation is slow in Southern districts.
While the conditions of the week were
favorable for work in some eastern and
southwestern sections it is generally
backward.

From window-silI and shop and hall.
From fiagpOle tall and arching dome.
Our Flag streams forth for one and ali
For this. our Country and our home.
Itsends its mighty meaning out;
And, while it beauties the air.
1t makes our hearts more brave and stout
To see it waving everywhere.
From homes of humble and of great
Whoe'er beneath the roof may dwell.
In every City, Town and State,
1t flies, its story grand to tell;
Though distance may our homes divide,
We all in one good purpose share;
Still loyal to stand side by side
And wave our dear Flag high in air.
We may have differed in the past
About some unimportant things;
But, with our Flag nailed to the mast,
A holy zeal within US springs;
And while we for the conflict wait,
For Right and Honor we declare;
And woe to those who would berate
Our Flag, now waving everywhere.
From Massachusetts. dear old State,
Across the prairies of the West
To CALIFORNIA; Golden Gate,
We now ready for the Test,
The conflict we will bravely meet,
Nor of the outcome e'er despair;
The Flag that never knew defeat
Is proudly waving high in air.
1t is a grand, inspiring sight,
The best Flag waving heath the sun;
Our love for ii we will unite
And consecrate our hopes in one;
The Flag for which our fathers fought,
Meath which great triumphs have beer
won,
Clements the Land in aim and thought
AS in the days of Washington.
Then gather meath each sscred fold,
The North and South, the East and West
For us 1t matchess colors hold
All nat il sentiment IS best
And now, assaied by foreign foe,
This Is the measure of our prayer:
That we defeat mag ne' -r know,
