WAR WORK At NAVY YARDS.

Washington, D. C.-Nearly 3d.
900 appointments were made to
the forces of mechanics, helpers,
and laborers at navy yards and
other naval establishments dur
ing the fiscal year ended June 80.
1917, and since that date appoint
ments have been made in in
creased proportion.
An appropriation of $500, 900
is now being expended in the en-
largement of the great naval gun
factory at Washington, which,
when completed, will furnish en-
ployment for 1000 or more skilled
mechanics, in addition to the
5000 already at work in the plant.
In this mammoth factory, one of
the best equipped and most in
|teresting in the world, are built
the great guns for our war YES
sells. which carry to every coun-
try the message Of Americas abil-
ity to protect herself and to safe
guard the rights of her citizens
wherever they may be-
The new naval aircraft factory
at Philadelphia, which will be
completed this month, will also
employ about 5000 men.
The workers who man such
plants are of a superior class, and
they feel a personal pride in
turning out products that will
stand the test of conflict with the
arms of other nations. A consid-
cradle part OF the building of war
vessels is also done in govern
ment yards.
The United States Civil Service
Commission, which is charged
with the task of recruiting the
ranks of this great civilian army,
through its widespread organiza-
tion is furnishing the men as they
are needed. In certain trades,
particularly those connected with
shipbuilding, there is usually a
shortage. sailmakers, copper
smiths. shipfitters, anglesmiths,
blacksmiths and machinists> are
Especially needed. Women to op-
crate power sewing machines are
also i'm great demand. The rep
rescntatives of the Civil Service
Commission at the post offices in
all cities are the official recruit
ing agents for this as we'll as
other branches of the civil serv-
ice. The commission urges com
petent mechanics to offer their
services to the government at
this time of great need.

Make an Acre Produce
 Double

Every acre of land this year should be made to produce dou ble. Corn planted in six-foot rows should have a row of COW peas, soy beans, peanuts or vel vet beans planted between the rows of corn. Corn planted in closer rows should have one of the above crops planted in the rows with the corn. This can best be done about time of the first or second cultivation. Broad cast sowing of peas at laying by time is not advisable this year. Only those methods of planting most certain to give high pro duction should be practiced.
 Cowpeas, soy beans, sorghums and Sudan grass this year should be planted in rows and should be cultivated. This meth od requires much less seed for planting, produces more abund antly, and very nearly as much forage as does broadcast plant ing
 Velvet beans have proven their value in this state. The early va rieties, if planted reasonably early, mature an abundance of beans which can be gathered by hand picking or by pasturing to cattle and hogs. One peck of vel vet beans, costing about forty or fifty cents. is sufficient for an acre of corn, while more cowpeas are required, and the cost per bushel is greater.

Avoid Perishables

Such perishable crops as are needed for family use should be grown, but a surplus should be avoided by those without eXperi. ence in the production and mar ketiEg of perlshables. We re spectfully urge and recommend that those without such expert ence stick to the production of those staple crops which can be preserved for an indefinite time or until satisfactory market cor ditions are developed. While prices for all food products are certain to be high, perishable products cannot be marketed successfully without the active cooperation of the whole com munity. Secure concerted action within your community and know at what you are aiming be- fore undertaking the production of perishable crops in excess of the amounts needed by the tam fly or the nearby town.

Abandon Food Predju-
 diceS

Be willing to try new foods. Certain plentiful and nourishing foods widely used and enjoyed in one section are practically un- known in other sections Of the country. Learn to know ALL the good things; not a few only.
 People too easily get into food ruts-insist on eating only the food they are used to and refuse to give a fair trial to others. This causes undue demand for cer tain staples. with resulting scar city or high prices when crops are short. At the same time other valuable foods may be rel atively cheap and available. A striking instance of this is fail ure to appreciate rice-a yalua- ble source of starch-when. po- tatoes are scarce and high. An other example is refusal in cer- tain sections to use anything but wheat as oreadstuff when corn "a valuable cereal widely used elsewhere as a breadstuff-is is plentiful and relatively cheap.
 Learn how to cook all kinds nf staple foods. and to serve them in a variety of ways. Simple dishes well prepared are better than expensive foods badly cook ed.
 Many persons are predjudiced
The Carlisle independent., 1917-05-03

against ce tain good foods be. cause, when first tried, the foods were improperly cooked are pre-. pared.
 Remove from your vocabulary don't like" or cant eat
 Most individual predjudices against widely popular foods are either imaginary or baseless.
 Try to like every simple food: give it a fair trial
