EMBARGOES SLAPPED ON IN

Once more the railroads APPROACH
ed freight jam today and as a result
numbers Of embargoes were slapped
on. The announcement of the en-

campaign and the hating of out
going sea freight at the eastern ports
has filled the railroad yards with
thousands of loaded cars.

they cannot be shipped to our allies
because they require from four to
ten times the tonnage of more con-

ocean tonnage is one of the vital
problems of the war. The Food Ad-
ministration, therefore, urges the lib
eral use of vegetables, and of fruit,
poultry, fish and other sea foods, with
a larger use of corn meal for the
purpose of saving wheat. AS these
foods are healthful and relatively low

FOOD PLEDGE WEEK.
.UsHERED IN SUNDAY.
IN MANY PULP|TS.

Washington, Oct. 27.-With Ma
tional Food Pledge Week only one
day off, the food administration has
announced that it's army of half a
million men and women volunteer
canvassers is modified and ready for
the campaign under the various State
Food Administrators.
Food Pledge Week begins Sunday,
October % and ends November A.
The 100000 canvassers reported on
a preliminary survey several days ago
that they were sure to get the sigma
lures of approximately 100000
American housewives to the food
Pledge A million and a quarter or
the country's 22,000,000 housewives
already have signed the card promis-
ing to conserve food. This leaves
between seven and eight million un-
accounted for, and the Food Admins
tration today expressed the conviction
that all of them will be pledged be-
fore the campaign ends.
Reports show that school children
are organized in many places as vol
unteer assistant units to help in the
campaign to enlist all the country's
twenty-five million housewives in the
work of conserving "wGr foods" Of
which there is a world shortage.
Among the 100000 workers who
will visit every home in the country
is large number of 'war mothers"
women whose sons or other male rela-
tives have gone to the front or are
in training in this country.
Sunday, the opening day Of the
campaign, will be marked by war
food conservation sermons by the
countrys 100000 ministers in church,
es all over the land. The food adj
ministration states that the response
of the ministers has been extraor-
dinarily generous in this respect.
State, city, county and local or
carnations constitute the working
machinery of the campaign. Begin
ming and continuing until Saturday,
these workers will make a house to
house canvass of the country, inuuir-
ing of each housewife of the 22.O0O,-

ing Undesirable Compounds.
Home mixed fertilizers will prove
just as efficient in every way as factory
mixed goods OF equivalent composition
provided some simple precautions are
used against undesirable mixtures.
Fhe Pennsylvania State college
school OF agriculture and experiment
station cautions against the use of lime
In home mixing. II 1t Is desired to
neutralize soil acidity the lime should
be applied separately and not mixed
with the fertilizer. Such n mixture
does not add value TO the lime or ferti-
lizer and In most cases the mixing
would be detrimental.
Wood ashes, since they contain lime.
should be applied alone and not mixed
with the various fertilizing materials.
Certain commercial materials. as basic
Stag, cyanamide and calcium nitrate.
which contain an excess of lime, should
be avoided In home mixing. The OBJ
servance Of these precautions will obyi-
ate the danger OF Jumping, the loss Of
plant food through volatilization or the
changing OF available into unavaila
plant food through chemical action.
stable manure or other fresh organic
matter should not be considered in the
home mixing Of fertilizers. Manure In
itself Is a complete fertilizer, but
poorly balanced one. 1t should be re-
enforced with acid phosphate, rock
phosphate or bonemeal. This Is the
only mixing Of manure and fertilizer
that should be considered.

A TERRIFIC EXPLOSION
Kills Three Men-Force of Jersey
Blast Rocks Buildings In Gen.
trail Philadelphia.

Philadelphia, Penn.-A terrific ex-
plosion, which rocked buildings in CEN
trail Philadelphia, destroyed a nitro
starch drying house of the Du Pont
Powder Co.'s dynamite plant at Gibbs
town, NJ j., killing three men and in
juring another seriously. The Gibbs
town plant is devoted entirely to the
manufacture of commercial dynamite.
The cause of the explosion is I'M
known, as such catastrophies wipe out
all traces of their origin, but officials
believe it was caused through the err
ror of one of the workmen. Almost
everybody in Philadelphia, 20 miles
distant, felt the terrific force of the
explosion, and surrounding towns in
New Jersey reported shattered win
dows and other ill-effects of the i'm
pact.
