American who has ben food distri-
butor for America in Belgium and
knows the state of affairs in Euro
pean countries, cables from London
that "the total stock of food avail
able in the allied world is not slff1ci-
ent to last till September" He asks
that America cut down the allowance
to her own citizens one third, as the
only means of keeping the allies In
the war. He says:
ENGLAND, France and Italy are re-
ducing consumption by drastic steps,
but even with all this reduction they
must have from US during the next
three months more than twice as
much food as we can send If we con-
sumo as usual"
This appeal comes when hunger
riots are on foot in New York, and
bread riots in Chicago. And the war
mongers and gamblers, with pro
found disregard Of American lives,
advocate an expeditionary force to
the blood-soaked front in France
sure thatwhen these boys are sIaugh
tered, the American people in their
newly famed hatred will bring hunger
sacrifices that otherwise hardly could
be expected or hoped for. ILL.,
But suppose our next crop be even
a greater failure than the preceding?
Or suppose that all the sacrifices Of
this nation enable the allies to hold
out till September? Will they then
be willing to make peace, or Will tney
insist on war as long as loaf OF
bread or a dollar can be gotten from
the United States? And if finally the
people of the different countries be
exterminated by hunger, will cur gal
liant allies at last be willing to hear
proposals of peace? And if SO, do
they hope to get better terms than
they can get now? Would it not be
better to stop the slaughter and save
some of the wealth and some Of the
lives, and let each country rule itself

COMMISSIONER YOUNG is URGING
EVERY CITIZEN TO EXAMINE
HIS PREMISES.
DISPATCHES FROM RALEIGH
Doings and Happenings That Mark
the Progress of North Carolina Peo-
pie, Gathered Around the State
Capital.
Raleigh.

Only about six weeks now intervene
before the day appointed by law in
North Carolina as Fire Prevention
Day. James R. Young, Commissioner
of Insurance, is urging that necessity
of a strict and careful observance Of
this day in this year is manifest. Con-
%servation is on the lips of every
patriotic citizen in the state. Ameri-
ca has her hands full this year, with
an enemy outside her borders. 1t is
up to the citizens at home to see that
no great damage to life and property
can come to US from our own neglect.
It is the intention of the law in this
special Fire Prevention Day, which Is
October 9th, to set apart a day when
every citizen will look into the condi-
ton OF his premises and remove the
things hat make for danger. The day
is set apart at this season of the year
when the time draws near for the
starting of the winter fires. The lin
bering up of heating systems that
have laid idle all summer begins. You
don't know what may have happened
to yours during the summer months,
Have an expert go over the system
when you get ready to turn it on, and
see that there are no hazards there.
There services of an expert to do this
little bit of inspection may cost you
two or three dollars. The saving OF
this fee might cost you your home or
your business.
You are going to start fires in stoves
and fireplaces about this time. Take
a look at the fues and see what the
conditions are. 1t may be a little
trouble. but it's worth the effort.
Look at the rear Of stores and bus
mess blocks in your town, whether
it's your property or motifs your
town. There may be an accumulation
of rubbish in the back lots and the
starting of fires in the store buildings
may burn some SCOT in a dirty fiue.
A little wind. a little spark, the back
lot rubbish-and thousands Of dollars
20 up in smoke. Another thing: sup
pose a small fire starts-you know
they're all small at frst-there is a
lot of rubbish in a back lot nearby,
boxes, bits Of broken glass, pieces of
board with nails in them, a fireman
steps on this, is cut, blood poisoning
occurs. You'd hate to think you
caused that, wouldn't you?
Look the ground over thoroughly on
Fire Prevention Day. That is what
this day is set apart for. Clean up
your premises thoroughly, inside and
out. Tell your neighbor about it. II
he does not take an interest in the
matter, make him clean up. The law
is on your side.

On the Service of the State.

The gathering of practically 500
boys and girls at the Short Course
held at the College of Agriculture and
Engineering proves again that the
work of the Agricultural Extension
Service, conducted jointly by the
college and the State Department OF
Agriculture, is more than justifying
it's existence. 1t is not believed that
another state in the union has had
such an attendance on any short
course given at their state college OF
agriculture. Looking for an attend
ance of about two or three hundred,
the authorities were surprised when
train after train came in loaded with
members of the agricultural clubs
coming to join their fellows for a
week of inspirational work and fun.

Control Cotton Anthracnose.

Each year along about this time the
agricultural experiment station of
the college and department of agricul-
ture receives a number of specimens
of diseased cotton bolls. These bolls
are more or less affected with a fun
gus diease known as "boll-rot" or
~anthracnose. 1t is a disease which is
from rotten or half-rotten bolls the
previous fall. Hence, it may be seen
that to properly control it the seed
must be free from disease. AS it first
appears the boil has a small pinkish
looking rotten spot which entirely
destroys certain bolls and leaves 9th
ers partially destroyed. When the
seed is saved from partially rottad
bolls it has within it the fungus and
when the seed is planted it will pro-
duce plants bearing the "boll-rot."
From this it may be seen that the
disease is controlled by planting dis
ease-free seed. But it also has been
found that the disease will live over
in old stalks and bolls left in the field.
Where cotton is to be planted on the
same field the next year these stalks
and bolls should be plowed under at
least six inches. By far the best plan,
however, is to rotate the crop, putting
no cotton on the same land each year.
Where disease-free seed cannot be
obtained in the neighborhood it is a
good idea to go into the field and Sc
lect such bolls as are not affacted and
save the seed for next years planting.
According to DR.. F. A. Wolf, plant
pathologist, this should be done even
if there is time to select only a small
amount of bolls. By planting these
separately in a small plot enough will
be saved to make a patch free from
arthracnose disease.

East Is Peanut Section.

The eastern part of North Carolina
has come to be a section noted for the
the production Of peanuts. The major
itv of farmers in this section grow
these as a commercial crop! Those
who grow the large varieties OF pea
nuts know that a heavy percentage OF
the crop is left In the ground. There
is only one possible way of making
use of this waste and that is by en-
ploying hogs. AS a matter OF fact.
the hog business has followed the pea
nut business but this year there Ia
not enough hogs to eat them
