A large harvest and storage Of nat

accompanied by the statement that un-
precedented demands for ammonia by
the army and navy indicate a shortage
in this chemical so widely used in pro-
;ducing ice and in refrigerators.
A,shortage of ice during warm wealth

From uncensored sources the COM
mittee on public information has re-
ceived editorial comment on the presi-
dents recent message in the Frank
furter Zeitung, a liberal organ with
large circulation throughout the Ger
man empire. The following paragraph
appears in the translation:
"The foundation for the peace ne
gotiations has not yet been found, but
we have approached much nearer to
1t. Wilson seeks way out of the war
and does so in manner not entirely
in accord with us. We see no reason
for exposing ourselves any longer to
the charge of lack of clarity about our
war aims. Germany and her allies
should come out openly with their
terms. Then perhaps 1t will be seen
that a continuation of the war can be
avoided and the resistance of govern
ments to the desire for peace of their
peoples can be overcome"

SOLDIER FARMERS
MAY WORK GRANT
TRACT NEXT YEAR
Salvage and Reclamation
Units May Again Take
Charge of Acreage That
Made $4,000 in Year.

CAMP GRANT, Ill, Dec. 1S.-Soldier-
farmers Of the salvage and reclamation
units at Camp Grant, who caused wide
spread comment by operating a farm
of 800 acres and showing a net profit
of $4,000 at the end of the year, may
continue the work on a still broader
scale next year.
While other troops are being mus
tered out Of service here, there has
been no mention Of discharging the
salvage division, and already plans are
being made for a 800 tract next year.
Eight hundred acres OF this have been
plowed.
The $40, 900 profit remained after de-
auctions had been made for machinery
depreciation and wages of 50 a day for
each soldier working.
Nearby farmers had their crops In the
field when Grant men began to sharp
en- plows. The soldier-farmers were in
the field May "a. Twelve days after
OF corn, $50 acres OF hay, 40 acres of
sweet corn, and 81 acres of potatoes
were In the ground.
Hay was harvested at $32 per ton,
$4,000 worth being turned over to the
Iarnp remount station; 4.7s5 bushels Of
corn brought $4,000, and potatoes at 80
cents a hushel brought 81, 800. The I'M
usually low price Of 8 cents was made
on sweet corn, as all Of 1t went to am
mess tables, 1t brought $685..
Jnlil the epO OF late fall crops was
made, government reports showed that
environments all over the country were
harvesting a total of 1900 acres, a lit
tie less than half of which was credited
to the Illinois ann. To cover this
enormous tract only 30 men were used
on the average, some of them working
on night shifts in busy season. A total
Of $4,000 was spent for machinery,
tractors. and seed. The pay to men in
the six months amounted to $40, 800.
Sweet corn was marketed with the
camp mess supply detachment, field
corn was marketed in Chicago, pota-
toes were fed in camp, and oats and
wheat were marketed here. Next year
400 Of the proposed 1900 acres may be
shifted from truck to forage on account
Of labor.
Most of the soldiers picked-all of
whom were from limited service units
were farmers, but there were some men
wholly inexperienced, While nearby
farmers worked IS hours a day, Grant
farmers labored but eight hours. The
work under these conditions was UNI
usually fast.
Hugh Findley, a Columbia university
professor, came to Grant as govern
ment inspector in September and
praised highly the work Of Capt. Beall
and Lieut.. II. G. Gesesbracht, An eff
