Proclamation Regarding Agricultural
Preparedness.

Whereas, the assembling of a large
army for our country's service, and the
help we will be privileged to give in
supplying the peoples of Europe, with
whom we are making common cause,
will greatly increase the demand for
agricultural and food supplies in this
State and throughout the land. which
in connection with the present shortage
makes the food problem a matter of
grave concern, to be met and solved
only through helpful, systematic and
efficient effort and cooperation; and
whereas, food preparedness is essential
to military preparedness. and together
form the basis which will insure Am
erican success in the days which are
ahead;
Now, therefore, /; Emerson C. Har-
rington, Governor of Maryland, do here
by recommend and urge:
That the farmers of Maryland make
every effort to place under cultivation
the largest acreage possible, common.
surate with the labor obtainable for
proper cultivation and harvesting, and
that intensive cultural methods be fol-
lowed as far as possible, as this prac-
tice will give the best returns for the
labor expended.
That farmers consult and closely CO
operate with the Extension Service, an
organization of the Maryland State
College of Agriculture and United
States Department of Agriculture Co.
operating. whose specialists and county
agents are trained to utilize every
facility of the State and Federal Gov
ernments to insure better and larger
crops.
That merchants, bankers, business
and professional men organize, In each
county of the State, in order to assist
in obtaining and properly distributing
labor for the farms; in purchasing and
transporting seed, fertilizer, farming
implements and other supplies, and
generally in aiding and encouraging
farmers in the production of large
crops. The benefits of the National
Farm Loan Bank of Baltimore should
be understood and availed of by the
farmers.
That farmers devote themselves
chiefly to the production of staples
which can be stored and disposed Of
during the winter months. Such staples
will be in steady demand, at good prices
throughout the year, and their produc
ton, therefore, is most important, both
to the producer and to the consumer,
and should be given preference over

Beware of the Dangerous House Fl.

Kill at once every fly you can find
and burn his body.
Observers say that there are many
reasons to believe there will he more
flies this season than for number of
years.
The killing of Just one fly now means
there will be billions aud trillions less
next summer.
Clean up your own premises; see and
insist that your neighbors do likewise.
Especially clean "out-of the-way
Places" and every nook and Granny.
Flies will not go where there is moth
ing to eat, and their principal diet is
too filthy to mention.
The United States Government makes
the following suggestion for the de-
struction of house flies: aldehyde
and sodium sal'cylate arc the two best
fly posons. Both are superior to
arsenic. They have their advantages
for household use. They are not a
poison to children: they are convenient
to handle, their diIutions are simple
and they attract the flies.
A formaldehde solution of approx
| matelv the correct strtrgih may be
made by adding3 teaspoonfuls Of the
concentrated formaldehyGe solution,
Commercial lly known as fCrm+lr, 10 a
pint of water SINH ailv, the proper
concentration of sod UNI s;l cy late NAV
be obtained by dissnlvirg 3 teaspoon
fuls Of the lure chemica t. y 'wic') to
pint of water.
A container has been found convent
ent for aut matilally h eping 'be s"}n-
ton always available for fl IS to drink.
An ordinary thin walled dr:i ki"g glass
is filled or partially fil'ed with the solu-
ton. A sauce, or small plate, In
which is placed a piece of white biott-
ing paper cut the size If the dish, is
put bottom up over the glass. The
whole is then gu ckly inverted, match
placed under the edge of the glass, and
the container is ready fer use. AS The
solution dries cut OF the saucer the
LIQUID seal at the edge of the glass Is
broken aud more liquid flows mo the
lower rlceptical. Thus the paper is
always kept moist.
Any cd IT pleasing tn man is offen-
siye to the fly and vice versa, and will!
drive them ANY,.
Take five cents worth of oil Of laven-
der, mix it vito the same quantity Of
water. put it in common glass atom
ger and spray it arCuGd the rooms where
flies are. In the dining room spray it
lavishly even on the table linen. The
odor is very disagreeable to flies bu
refreshing to most people.
Geranium, mignonette, heliotrope
| and white clover are offensive to flies.
They especially dislike the odor of
honeysuckle and hop blossoms
According to French scientist flies
have intense hatred for the color blue.
Rooms decorated in blue will help to
keep out the flies.
Mix together one teaspoonful OF
cream, one of ground black pepper and
one of brown sugar. This mixture is
poisonous to flies. Put in a saucer,
darken the room except one window
and in that set the saucer.
To clear the house of flies, burn py-
rethrum powder. This stupeffes the
flies, but they must be swept up and
burned.

MonopoIizeS Supplies From IS
lands to Control the But
ton Market.
HISTORY OF THE INDUSTRY
Frenchman Sends Samples Of Shells
Home as curios and Negotiations
Are Opened for Regular
Supplies.

Sydney, Australia.-Word comes to
Sydney from the Fiji islands that the
japanese have not only monopolized
the trochas shell supply Of that group,
but are encouraging the "skinning" OF
the reefs, and are thus indirectly
threatening the destruction of the
shell output of Fiji. Not only SO, but
advices lately received from Brisbane
arc to the effect that the Japanese are
seeking to exploit the shell supply of
Thursday island and elsewhere on
the northern side Of the Australian
continent.
In Curious Position.
"The shell industry is in curious
position" writes the Suva (F1ji cor
respondent of the Sydney Daily Tele-
graph. Buttons are made out Of
trochas shell, or, as 1t is termed in the
FIJI islands, sici pronounced see
thee). The industry was started in
novel manner. Over Is years ago a
Frenchman named Gaspard sent some
of che shells home as curiOs, and they
came under the notice of a man in the
line who opened negotiations with
Gaspard, and regular supplies were
from then on sent to France to be
turned into buttons. He paid the I'M
trtored FiJians 81 or SIPS per ton in
those days, but the present price in
Suva is for No. l shell, 5000 per ton;
No, 2, $147.50; No. 8, $3.50. The
grn,lation is according to size.
"France and Austria practically mo-
norolized this industry, but the war
caOsed a change, and 1t is doubtful If
any buttons are made nowadays in
FRINGE or Austria. The trade is now
a Japanese monopoly. All the local
shell finds its way to Japan, whence
1t sn exported as a manufactured pro-
duc... The price varies considerably
for reasons not known here. The
shells are found in plentiful numbers
on the coral reefs surrounding the
(Fifi) Islands, and merely have TO be
picged up. Enormous quantities are
shipped to japan by every steamer.

product have caused the natives to
