Sugar Relief Is Blue.

The sugar division of the Federal
Food Administration will be lucky to
get $4,000 tons of raw sugar from this
market, instead of the 200, 900 tons
which George NJ. Rolph, head of the
division, stated would be available
for relieving the great scarcity in
Northern markets. At q meeting OF
planters $4,000 tons was pledged to
the pool at price Of 1925 hun
dred pounds.
Committees were appointed to visit
each sugar-growing district in an
effort to obtain all possible tenders Of
sugar. The growers voted at the
meeting that they would be unable
to place any sugar in New York by
November Is, the date set by Mr..
Rolph in the contract submitted.
A recent cold wave, which will cut
sugar production from 70 per cent.
to so per cent. crop in this State,
and a misunderstanding of the pro-
posals of the Federal Food Admins
tration combined to bring about the
action taken at the meeting. Small
hope is held out that Louisiana sugar
will relieve acute shortages in the
country before the first of the year.

An Old Mans Stomach,

AS we grow older and less active, less
and less food is required to meet the de-
mands of our bodies. If too much is
habitually taken, the stomach will rebel.
When man reaches the advanced age
of IS or 80, you will find that he is a
light eater. Be as careful as you will,
however, you will occasionally eat more
than you should and will feel the need of
Chamberlain Tablets to correct the
disorder. These tablets do not contain
pepsin, but strengthen the stomach and
enable it to perform its functions natur-
ally. They also cause a gentle move
ment of the bowels.

Preparing The Seed Bed.
Thoroughness Most Important
In the Preparation of the Soil
With the Use of Mime.
(By John H. Vooohees, Agronomist,
Aer;u,ltural Lime Rureau, Washington. J

tBy John H. Vooohees, Agronomst,
Agricultural Lime Bureau. Washington
Occasionally reports appear OF in
jury caused by the use OF lime when
application is made just prior to
seeding. This is almost in case
where the seeds planted are small
and delicate and require the utmost
care in the preparation of the seed
bed is important with all crops but
es pecially in the seeding of clovers,
grasses, pastures, and the like.
My attention was drawn recently
to an example where lime caused in
Jury to the success of grass seeding.
The farmer located on one of the best
types of soil in New Jersey made an
application of 1900 to 1900 pounds
of high grade hydrated lime three
or four days before seeding. The
field was narrowed once after the ap-
plication and then seeded.
After the grass had well started 1t
was observed that both grasses and
clovers had started better and were
thicker and stronger on the strip left
unlimed. Upon considering and ex-
amining the field thoroughly, the
County Demonstration decided that
the lime had been applied too soon
before planting, and that it had not
been worked into the soil and mixed
with it sufficiently. Lime should be
spread and mixed with the surface
soil so that it comes in contact with
the soil moisture where it goes into
solution. If lime is to perform its
full function in the soil, it must be
SO distributed throughout that layer
which contains the necessary condl-
tions OF moisture and air circulation
for the growth of crop roots, and
must be 80 distributed that a partl-
Gle of lime may be found in contact
with every particle of soil.
1t must be remembered also, that
an excessive amount of lime may
drain the fertility from the soil.
Humus combines with lime and other
basic elements, and it is essential
that lime be in the soil for this pur:
pose, but it is better that there be
little less lime than is needed than 6
whole lot too much. The County
Demonstrators are equipped with the
apparatus necessary to make lime re,
uuirement tests of soils. The farmer
should not hesitate to seek their CO.
operation in matters pertaining tc
the limins of soils.

Again-Why Eat Corn Bread7

People who have not given thought
to this subject are prone to Jump at
the conclusion that in sending wheat
flour to the Allies and using corn
bread ourselves we are simply giving
them the best of it and undergoing
needless sacrifice. That is as far
from the truth as anything possibly
can be.
In the first place, it is absolutely
impossible to feed the armies in the
field corn bread. Bread for the SOL
diers must be made in great central
bakeries far behind the lines and
shipped to the trenches.
Corn bread will not keep long
enough for this transportation.
In the second place, there are no
mills in Europe which are equipped
to grind corn into meal. Corn meal
will not keep long enough to be ship
ped across the ocean. This is anoth-
er insurmountable difficulty.
The third and least important rea-
son is that the people of Europe are
entirely unacquainted with corn meal
as a food and it would be almost as
hard to get the cookery readjusted to
this food as it would be for the peo-
pie of America to start in all at once
to live on rice and fish. .-Ex.

Contribute Your bit. "
Here a Cent and There a Cent
For Uncle Sam.

The following article, an editorial from
one of the city papers. speaking OF the
war tax which went into effect last week,
advises that people of this country con-
tinue patronizing theaters, railroads ana
the u. S. mails with the same liberahty
as though no tax had been imposed. 1t
says:
"The new war taxes, most OF which
have taken effect, not only impose
patriotic duty on the people but afford
them an opportunity to render the gov
ernment direct aid in the maintenance
of the war fund. These taxes fall upon
many shoulders. They reach people In
all walks of life. They apply to theater
going, to railroad travel, to telephone
and telegraph use. and to the use OF the
mails. 1t is incumbent on the people not
only to pay their taxes, assessed in this
manner, willingly and fully, but to con-
tinue their usual practices of life regard
less of the pennies and the dimes they
are required to pay to the Treasury.
"From now on, for an example which
affects great number of people, every
person who attends place of public en-
tertainment will pay his bit of a tax
toward keeping up the governments war
revenues. The assessment sounds big,
but it is really small. Ten per cent on
the price of each ticket is exacted from
the patrons of the theaters, and they
must pay it themselves, not the manag-
ers. The law requires that they tender
the tax when they buy their tickets, and
the managers render an accounting to
the Treasury regularly of every penny
received in taxes.
"While this is generally time for
economy, it is no time for people to
change their habits completely. Things
must go on about as before, save that
there must be closer attention to the
economical use of food supplies and fuel,
the wasting commodities. To stop going
to the entertainment places on account
of the pennies that must be paid in taxes
is actually against the interest of the
government, for the United States looks
now to the amusements to produce at
least S63, 900, 600 in taxes during the year
as contribution to the war fund.
''If the public cuts out the theaters
and the picture shows, and reduce its
use of the trains, the mails and the
phones on account of the small taxes
that must be paid the government will
lose this revenue. 1t must be made up
in some other way. The burden will be
redistrbuted, and will probably fall upon
the same shoulders as those that have
shirked it or on others less able to bear
it. The best way is for the people to
continue in their amusement-seeking and
their business pursuits just as before
the taxes were imposed, and to pay the
pennies at the box Office and the ticket
windows and the toll stations not only
cheerfully but gladly, in spirit of CO.
operation in a patriotic duty"
