ADOPT NEW METHODS.

have made up their minds to adopt
different methods for the coming year
They will grow more wheat or some
crop that ripens in mid-season so as to
avoid the danger of the crops freezing
or rotting. The prices being already
set for next years crop. they know on
just what to depend. They all seem to
realize that the help problem for the
next year Is going to be much more
serious than the past. The first draft

of the men from the farm. If the next
draft makes another big haul among

Shortage of Help, Scarcity

Get Cars Hit Growers
Hard.
V. D, Hannah, Pioneer and
Land Appraiser, Tells of
Conditions in Southern
Idaho-Predicts Zig Crop
of Wheat This Year.

iihe 'hO appiC etid POtetO 6IoWCIS
Of southern Idaho suffered heavy
losses this year because of the shortage
of help and inability to get cars for
shipments is the statement of Major v.
D. Hannah. the well known pioneer of
Idaho and one of the states most eff
cient land appraisers. His territory in
his land appraising work covers 10
southern counties. Being close OBJ
server of farm conditions, Mr.. Hannah
estimates the loss on apples on south
ern Idaho will amount to fully one
third of the crop and he is certain the
losses to potato men are almost as
great. Concerning his trip, observa-
tions and facts learned from farmers,
Mr. Hannah says:
Il have just completed a trip over
10 southern counties of Idaho from
Gooding to Adams county and have
paid particular attention to farm con-
dtons, being a farmer and stock
grower myself. l found in many or
chards apples were not gathered and
In many places they We're piled up
and spNiling. There We're three bad
conditions which confronted the APP
pie men this year: first, the scarcity of
help to gather the crop; second, their
shortage of cars for shipment when
the fruit was harvested and ready for
market. These conditions combined
hit the fruit growers hard and their
losses have been enormous.
MANY POTATOES LOST.
"The potato growers have been hit
almost as hard. There are hundreds
of acres of potatoes in southeastern
Idaho still in ThoSa t1h or
are frozen and their loss was caused
largely through the scarcity of help
In some cases farmers offered men as
high as $40 day to gather potatoes
and were then unable to get all the
help needed. Crops throughout tho
southern section We're good this year
but the wheat and hay crops were the
only ones which were properly cared
for and saved.
The most notable and serious short
age which found in my trip was that
of hogs. More than half the farms are
without hogs. 1 regard this as a bad
condition as there is now serious
shortage of hog products and 1t looks
as though it would be much worse the
coming year. The food commission
has agreed that 10 bushels of corn
should equal the price of 100 pounds of
finished hog. The price of pork ers
live weight, has been set at 1914 cents
per pound. The 10 bushels of corn as
contracted for next May delivery, is
equal to $1625 or rs cents more for the
corn than fcr the 100 pounds of hog
The farmers know this condition and il
can hardly be presumed that a farmer
will spend seven or eight months
growing a bunch of hogs that he is
pretty sure will not bring him as much
money by rs cents as Is bushels of
corn, to say nothing of the chances he
is taking of the hogs diving of cholera
pr other diseases.
MUST FIX NEW PRICE.
"The breeders I have talked with on
this trip are all preparing to raise
fewer hogs next year owing to the I'M
certainty of the hog market. II

Vegetable Soups or Purees.

Soup is not necessarily made from
meat stock. Vegetable soups or purees
are made by boiling potatoes, beans,
peas or other vegetables until soft,
MASKING through a sieve and then heat
ing with a little liquid (water, milk,
soup stock or whatever seems destr-
able and flavoring. Using leftover
vegetables for such purees is an eco
nomical practice. Milk soups, which
are really milk thickened and favored
with some vegetable, fish or other food,
to give flavor and perhaps thickened
still more with a little -four or stale
breadcrumbs, are both nutritious and
appetizing. They furnish also an ex-
cellent means Of using up skimmilk.
Those who wish to bring down the cost
of food should remember that skim
milk, cup of which contains as much
protein as cup Of whole milk, is far
too valuable a food to be overlooked.

HevrIn,s GS Miruet

Hadyn one day received a visit from
a butcher who said that himself and his
daughters were admirers of Haydns
music, and as the young woman was
soon to be married he made bold to
ask that the composer write a minnet
for her wedding. Kind Papa Haydn"
consented, and in few days the man
of meat obtained his music. Not long
afterward Haydn was surprised to
hear this same minuet played under
his window. On looking out he saw a
band Of musicians forming a ring
around large OK tastefully decorated
with flowers. Soon tie butcher came
up and presented the OK to Haydn, say
ing that for such excellent music he
thought he ought to make the COM
poser a present of the best OK in his
possession. Ever after this little COM
position was called the COX" minuet.-

Submarine Torpedoes.

Launching torpedo from a subma-
rine is simple The torpedo fits closely
in tube or cylinder, with an opening
at the rear made alright when closed.
At the desired moment there is dis
charge Of cordite and the torpedo is on
its way.
When the torpedo is projected from
a ship or boat into the water lever
is thrown back, admitting air into the
engines, causing the propellers to re
volve and drive the torpedo ahead.
The torpedo travels under water at a
high rate of speed. 1t carries a large
charge of explosive, which is ignited
on the torpedo striking any hard sub
stance, such as the hull of ship.
The distance the tube is submerged
depends on the target, but the nearer
the surface the more effective.

Keeps Milk From BOILING Over.

Among the various devices which are
intended to prevent milk from boiling
over We noticed one which solves the
problem In very simple way. says th,
Scientific American. 1t consists of
straight tube of say two or three
inches in diameter at the top and ex
panding somewhat toward the bottom,
where 1t Is provided with fiaring and
cup shaped end of rather large diane
ter, the whole being somewhat of
trumpet shape. Out Of the lower part
are cut, say four suitable openings, and
We set the device upright in the vessel
with the small end just out of the
liquid. Should the milk tend to boil
violently this action commences at the
bottom, and the liquid is forced up the
tube, then falls upon the surface again,
so that the boiling action will continue
in this way and the milk has no ten
dency to leave the vessel.

Painting a BattIeshir.

One hundred tons Of paint, costing
approximately S25,000 represents the
initial color requirements for a new
battleship. The annual upkeep cost
may exceed this sum, since it is the
custom to repaint the different parts
of a modern war vessel every three to
six months. This would indicate an
annual paint protection outlay of near
ly $1,000,000 for the navy. If to this
sum is added the cost Of painting the
thousands of lake boats, freighters,
river steamers and pleasure craft some
conception may be had of the impor-
lance of marine painting.
Among the most important naval
paints are those which are applied to
protect the submerged parts of the
bulls from corrosion or fouling by bar
nacles. The word barnacle is the pop
ular name for that form Of marine
crustacea which consists of clam
like body lodged ip shell that Is often
formed In series of rings or plates.
They adhere with great tenacity.
Without anti-fouling paints the speed
of vessels would be greatly retarded
by the piling up of thick incrustation
of barnacles and attached sea grass

WaInIifa "a Enod

The ancients held the walnut In high
esteem. Mortals could and did exist
on acorns, but walnuts were so de-
licious in taste and flavor, so palata BILE
and nutritious, that they were revered
as food only for the gods to dine upon.
Modern investigation and modern Gus
toms have popularized the uses of the
walnut to such an extent that 1t Is
now regarded not only as luxury, but
as a food of great nutritive value. A
chemical analysis Of the nut shows
that it is six times as nutritious as
meat. No vegetable or fruit, with the
possible exception of the olive, can be
compared with the walnut as strength
giving and fat producing food. All
nuts are possessed of elements of nu-
triton, but the highest in rank Is the
walnut.-Mancheste Guardian.

Fiuhtinq In the Air.

Before en- aviator is prepared to en-

know how to loop the loop, do a nose

stunts" said Miss Ruth Law.
Fighting in the air is fighting for
position. Consequently it is largely a
business of lodging. The man who is
the better dodger, who has the most
tricks up his eve, is the man who Is
going to win. l have seen men stop
controlling their machines altogether
and simply fall through space for sew
eral thousand feet.
1.-The point of this. of course, ia to
give the opposing fiier the idea that
the plane has been struck. The oppos-
ing aviator, thinking he has put his
enemy out of commission, will start
away. Then the plunging air man will
switch on his power, regain control of
his machine and overtake his enemy
without the latter knowing he is APP
