FOOD WILL WIN THE WAR.

Seven years ago famous European
student of history prophcsied that the
next great war of future would not be
won by fighting but by famine We
arc today fighting that war and fam.
inc is indeed threatening to be its ar.
bitter.
The men of England Scotland, Ire.
land France italy, and Belgium-our
allies-are fighting; they are not on
the farms The production of food
by these countries has therefore been
greatly reduced. Even before the war
1t was much less than the amount con-
sumo |. The difference came more
largely from other countries than from
Anne, ica. Now this difference is great.
e7 than ever, and, at the same time,
supplies can no longer come from most
Of the other countries. Thew must now
come from America. Therefore, our al
lie de?end on us for food as thew have
never depended before, and they ask
us for it with right which thew have
never had before. For to-day they are
doing the fighting, the suffering and
the dying-in our war.
We must send them the food thew
have to have. We vii send il. But
we can only do it by a wise and loval
economy Of food on the part of every
one Of us. We must stimulate our food
production, organize our food hand.
ling, eliminate all the waste possible,
substitute as largely as possible other
foods for wheat, beef, pork, dairy pro-
duets, and sugar, and reduce consump-
tion where it is excessive.
To accomplish these things is the
problem of the United States Food Ad-
ministration. But this accomplishment
can only come from the combined per.
sohal and voluntary service of all the
people Of the land. To that end we
want all the people TO join the Food
Administration. No fees or dues; mere.

Washington, d. C.-Thc use of a
weak solution of nicotin in dipping
scabby sheep and cattle is approved in
an order issued today by the Secretary
of Agriculture. This dipping solution
differs from that hitherto required. by
the elimination of sulphur.
Changes have been made following
a series Of careful experiments in the
effort to cheaper the expense Of dipping

to insure the effectiveness of such treat.
ment. Due largely to the heavy re-
quirements for sulphur in war indus
tries. the price Of this element has
greatly increased. In the dip as form.
erly, made up, therefore, two compare.
lively. costly substances were used. Il
is believed that the elimination of ono
of these substances will materially de.
crease the cost Of this dip.
In addition TO approving the use Of
a dipping solution in which nicotin Is
the active agent, the United States
Department Of Agriculture also ap.
proves the use Of lime and sulphur
