URGE USE OF GULL
POTATOES FOR SILAGE.

The use of Gull potatoes fo silage
is an innovation in the food conser-
vation program introduced by the
public information department of
The department of agriculture. The
results of thorough tests of potato
silage, showing it's value as COM
pared to corn, establishes the fact
that poor grades may thus be con-
verted into their most useful form.
Sorting out the culls enhances the
value of the better grades.
Making potato silage is not alto
gether new. German experiments
reported as far back as 1884 speak
of such uses. But German efficiency
has been better improved upon A.
nerican ingenuity. By making silage
from Gull potatoes the American
grower can eliminate waste and
incidentally make profit. If fed to
pork at present prices the culls
should be worth 80 cents per humid
red pounds.

CHICAGO, Sept. 4.-There was
just one buyer in the Chicago wheat
market today and he did not even
visit the board of trade. He was
Uncle Sam, and he had an office in
the Otis building two blocks from
the exchange. There was one basic
price, 1920, fixed by President Will

simple. The man who received the
wheat had it placed in an elevator
and obtained receipt from the ele-

WAREHOUSE FIRE PATROL
COMMON IN WASHINGTON.

The public service commission Of
the state of Washington now permits
warehousemen to fix an additional
storage charge to dafray expenses OF
fire guards, under direction of the
county councils for patriotic service.
The warehouseman keeps no part
of this extra charge, turning it all
over to the council. Armed guards
are being maintained at most ware
houses in the state, and persons ap-
proach these houses after night at
their peril. Where deemed neces-
sary for protection, warehouses will
also be lighted on the outside.

DAIRY SUPPLY SHORTAGE
THREATENS UNITED STATES.


Milk and butter supplies are rapid
ly decreasing in the United States,
according to the food administration.
The dairy herds of Europe are also
decreasing rapidly because of war
conditions, so the dairy problem in
this country is not only war meas
ure problem but one that will con-
tinue after the war.
Our own dairy supplies are not
keeping pace with our growth in
population, for our per capita milk
supply has fallen from 80 to rs gal
Ions annually in the past fifteen
years. Yet today we must ship in
creasing supplies to our allies.
1t is to be hoped that the present
harvest will result in lower prices
for feed and diminish the impetus
to sell dairy cattle for meat.

lowing:
For medical research work in
France, 100000. Action followed
information that as many of the
most ablc American doctors and sur
geons were serving in France, in
vestigations by them will result in
the discovery Of treatments and me-
thods that will be of great use not
only in this wal, but for years af-
terward.
For relief of Americans in German
territory. Many American citizens
in Germany are destitute and with
out resources for leaving the coun-
try. Others are in Belgium and

ted to the Spanish embassy in Berlin
for distribution.

Not Considered Overt Act.

Washington, D. c., Mar, ii.
In the absence of official dis
patches regarding the sinking
of the Algonquin, officials here
withheld comment. An unof-
fcial view is that there is moth
ing in the Incident to change
the situation between the Unit
ed States and Germany. The
armed neutrality step recently
taken is regarded as the last
step short of a declaration of
war, which may be made only
by congress. The real issue of
peace or war is expected to
come when an American armed
ship clashes with a German
submarine. The first reports re-
garding the Algonquin indicate
that it was not an covert act"
Later Plymouth advices say
the submarine fired twenty
shells, which did not sink the
steamer. Then the submarines
'crew boarded the steamer plac-
ing four bombs and blowing up
the Algonquin. The crew was
given time to leave the vessel.
