"a per cent increase credited to the

These results standing by them
selves give a faint inkling as to the
value Of green manuring. But to get
the full significance of the factor Of
green manuring, we must turn to plot
2 where we have the emulation Of
all the limiting factors, /. e., heavy
green manuring, fertilization, optImum
spacing and an adaptable variety, re-
sulting in the yield Of 100 bushels. The
limitations of the experiment prevent
one from measuring exactly the pro-
portion Of gain directly attributable to
the green manuring, but by indirect
induction. 1t would seem reasonable
to believe that at least 100 per cent
increase in yields may be credited to
this practise alone. We are likewise
Justified in believing that the ratio
Of increase due to the complete fer
tilizer would have been less without
green manuring Certain we are (al
though there is no direct evidence in
these experiments), that the land
could not have sustained the heavy
planting without the heavy green
manuring. We think that the results
in plot bear US out further in our

contention. 1t Is unfortunate that
there is no check of what the COM
plete fertilizer might have done under
like conditions. But after all the most
useful lesson in the whole experiment
is that 1t brings out in bold relief the
importance Of supplying, not only a
rich fertility, but an adaptable seed,
optimum spacing of the plants, and
other untouched and perhaps unseen
factors which go to make up the per.
feet whole.

A fruit stain on the best linen Is a
problem which many housewives
find difficult to solve. There Is a
very good remedy in a paste made Of
soda and water, which when rubh
on the spot will restore the garment
to its original color. II the spot Is
particularly stubborn hold 1t over

water to run through and it will quite
disappear.

the governor Of New York to the pres

Il am asking the commissioner o.

Of France Day throughout the State

The date selected for this celebra-
ton, by most happy fortuity, was
not only the first day spent in our

Often a careless maid will insist
upon washing white and colored
clothes together, much to the peril OF
the white garments If the latter are
injured by their contact with color,
by boiling in a soapy water, to which
cupful of vinegar has been added,
they should become white again.

s.a -. ..s+- AN APPEAL
A. patriotic appeal that comes
straight home to all the women teach
crs In Hawaii's schools has recently
been made by the national secretary
OF agriculture. His statement is so
concise and well chosen that It should
be read to and written by every school
girl above the sixth grade. He says
In part:
10 save food the housewife must
learn to plan economical and properly
balanced meals, which, while nourish-
ing each member of the family prep
erly, do not encourage oyereating or
offer excessive and wasteful variety.
It is her duty to use all effective
! methods to protect food from spoilage
BY heat, dirt, mice, or insects.
She must acquire the culinary abil.
fly 70 utilize every bit Of edible food
that comes into her home.
She must learn to use such foods
as vegetables, beans, peas, and milk
products as partial substitutes for
meat.
She must make It her business to
see that nothing nutritious is thrown
away or allowed to be wasted.

GRAIN FOR BREAD OR eEERq

Every teacher interested in com.
munity welfare will be interested to
know that last year approximately g..
100000 tons of grain were used in
breweries and distilleries. Most of
this was millable grain. Careful cal
culations show that each million tcrs
Of grain is sufficient to supply a one
pound loaf daily to six million people.
Also, the conversion Of grain into al.
cohol, rather than into bread, repre-
sents distinct loss of $4,000 tons Of
protein for each million tolls OF grain.
The amount of protein irretrievably
wasted in this country annually
through the conversion of grain into
alcohol represents the protein needs
of six million people for one year.
These facts are based upon rigid scien-
tific investigations.

WISCONSIN TO Be
WAR ISSUES TEST
ELECTION OF U. S. SENATOR TO
SUCCEED HUSTING EXPECTED
TO BE HARD STRUGGLE.


Washington, D. c., Oct. 29.-From
the viewpoint of Washington politics
the election to pick the successor to
Senator Husting, of Wisconsin, shot
and killed by accident last week by
his brother while duck hunting, will
test the strength Of the La Toilette
anti-war propaganda in the state
Leaders of both parties heresay the
election will determine where Wis
consin stands so far as support of the
nations war policy is concerned, hence
will have profound national Importance
Senator Husting, democrat, was an
ardent supporter of the administra-
ton and a severe critic of La Follette's
anti-war activities.
When the news of the death of Sena-
tor Husting was flashed to Washing
ton there was an expression that Gov
ernor Philips, of Wisconsin, a straight
republican and afoe of Senator La Fol
lette, would have the right to appoint
a successor to Senator Husting to
serve unil the next general ELECTION in
November, 1918. But reference to the
Wisconsin showed that the successor
appointed by the Governor might serve
only to the time of special election,
which, under the Wisconsin statutes, is
provided for if the death of a Senator
or representative occurs more than
twenty days before the time Of the
next general election. This means that
the Governor must call a special cleo
ton to choose a Senator
Political leaders here recognize that
La Toilette is factor to be reckoned
With. His hold upon the safe in the
past has been strong, and leaders in
both parties admit that in the SPECIAL
election it will be hard fight to oblit-
crate the normally heavy La Toilette
majority
