| TO INCREASE SUGAR SUPPLY
Recommendations Given for Mainte-
nance and Extension of Domestic
Cane-Suqar Output.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
The growers of cane and sugar beets
can materially increase the nations
supply of sugar by giving better care to
their crops so that the yields will be
increased. Following are recommen-
dations for the maintenance and extern
sion of the domestic cane-sugar supply !:
Extend the cane-growing areas; use
better cultural methods; adopt crop
rotation system improve cane vafie-
ties; control diseases and insects util-
ize more by-products; feed tops and
leaves to live stock; substitute cane
sirup for sugar; improve the grade of
sirup; produce raw sugar to conserve
the refined sugar.
To maintain and increase the domes-
tic beet-sugar output the following rec
concentrations are given:
4 Improve cultural methods; practice
proper methods of crop rotation and
cultivation; feed by-products to live
stock; work for maximum mill runs !;
cultivate new areas; drain wet areas
ard cultivate them; develop new irri-
gation systems and extend the old
ones; induce more farmers to grow
baets; harvest the beets more careful
ly; develop labor-saving machinery ;
produce an adequate supply of high
grade Sugar-beet seed, and develop bet
ter strains of sugar beets.

The Youthful Bed SIat

All save men ana women of deci-
dedly mature years would, if asked
how old was the use of Stats in beds,
reply that it was as ancient as beds
themselves. The older folks would re-
call the four-post couches with the
rope meshes that supported the ticks,
and would answer that Stats must have
come in about century ago. They
would together only furnish additional
proof of the additional shortneSs of
the public memory. Because, be it
known, the inventor of these supports
just recently died in this city at the
age of seventy-three years, says Gin
cinnati Enquirer. 1t was only about
forty years ago that he designed the
cords and permitted the use of the
now almost universal pad or box mat
tress. Corded beds are now as obso-
lete as the Saber-toothed tiger or the
pterodactyl. Couches of this variety,
venerable with years, still exist as
show pieces, but their owners have
surreptitiously substituted Stats and
supports for the ropes and pegs. In
short, they are shams. There are
other familiar utilities just as young
toothbrushes, for example. The grand.

AID FOR POULTRY CAMPAIGN
Employed as Emergency Workers
in Thirty-Three States.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agrfcu1ture9
Fifty-one experienced pou1trymen
are employed as emergency workers
to aid in carrying out the department
of agriculture's program for the stim-
ulation of poultry and egg production.
Most of these men have had 10 years
experience or more in the industry.
Seventeen have been in poultry work
for 20 to % years, and four have been
in the industry 80 years or more.
Included in the workers are poul-
tryman of international reputation, a
vice-president Of the American Poultry
association, several editors of poultry
publications and a number of we'll
known judges of poultry. All have
had practical experience in handling
and breeding fowls and more than q
few are experienced breeders of ex
hibition standardized poultry.
In cooperation with the state agri
cultural colleges of 33 states these
men are urging everyone who is in q
position to do so to keep poultry ano

ACCOUNTS FOR GHOST CoLORS
Eye Is Especially Sensitive to Two
| Kinds of Perceptions, Light and
Color Predominatinq.

In reply to an inquiry why are
ghosts always seen clothed in white, a
scientist states:
This is easily accounted for. AS
there have been no ghosts during his
torical times, we must assume that in
all cases where ghosts have been act
ually seen we have to do with mere
hallucinations caused by fever or some
other disorders of the observer, where,
therefore, the organ of sense, and par
ticularly the eyes, registered impress
siOns of objects that had no CORE
spending external existence. Accord
ing to the minute descriptions of such
apparitions given by patients to their
physicians, the ghosts. with rare eX-
ceptions, were "clad in white" Now,
our eye is sensitive to two kinds of
perceptions, viz, light and color. In
| this case, where no definite color was
! perceived, the hallucination, in which
only the organs Of the eye sensitive
to light are affected, is declared to be
white.
Still, there are also colored appari-
tions of ghosts; nay, we can introduce
into the body substances calculated to
impair our sense of color. Thus, the
immoderate use of hashish produces
violent visions; of alcohol, blue ones
Of atropin and skopolamin, red ones
Quinine and too much tobacco like
wise produce red visions, while sail
cylic acid, digitalin and phenacetir
cause light yellow sensations. The in
halation of carbonic oxide, and snake
bite, too, are said to be followed b!
light yellow sensations of sight.

PATRONS ARE THE PATRIOTS
Customers of Some Hotels Profit Very
Little by New Plan of Conserva-
ton of Food Supply.

The food administration is pleased
to pieces with the New York hotels for
saving more than a thousand barrels
of flour week and some II tons of
meat a day by these wheatless-meat
less occasions that are so popular now,
writer in Golfers observes. Pro-
vision dealers report a falling off in
sales, and all is lovely and statistical.
Ills fair picture to gaze upon, but
honor where honor is due! That pa
tient hero, the hotel patron, ought to
come in for few kind words, since
he pays the full price and eats the
| half portion.
"Save wheat-use corn"-brcad is 10
cents, corn bread is Is cents. AS a
| transient consumer, the other noon, we
| paid 80 cents for a slice of beef as
large as postal card, plus one table
spoonful of creamed potatoes, plus a
bit of Yorkshire pudding about the size
of watch. No doubt it was all that
was good for us, but the price was
more. If the widely known principles
of economics are still working, we
helped make meat and bread cheaper
and paid as much as if we were max
ing them dearer.
A patriot is noble thing, but isn't
it better to be one than to trim onei
The hotel keepers of Manhattan are
playing both sides of the game and the
food administration furnishes a jazz
band of statistical admiration for theil
efforts. These bonifaces who are
shrinking the meals and swelling the
prices need something all right, bu
not governmental encouragement
Meanwhile the hotel user can feel sure
that the war has not changed his func
ton at all-he's the paying goat now
just as he used to be.

every bitter drop. Then she covered
him to the eyes and hardened her heart
against his discomfort, while she kept

carefully dampened broom and wiped
the dust off things and restored the

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agrfculture)
In some sections of the country the
need for better breeding stock was out
standing when the United States de-
partment of agriculture began its boys
and girls pig club work.
In such cases the pig-club agents
have practically insisted that only
purebred pigs could be used in the
breeding projects. This necesSitated
the importing of registered pigs of both
sexes. The results of the demonstra-
tions made by members handling these
pigs under instruction from the pig
club leader have caused a great de-
mand for pigs "just like Sonny's." The
club members demonstrations of the
advantages and possibilities of we'll
bred swine when intelligently fed and
managed have caused a great increase
in demand for breeding stock from the
purebred breeders. At first the breed
ers were inclined to be skeptical, as
they expected the boys to buy regis
tered stock, allow it to deteriorate,
then offer purebred scrub pigs at meat
prices-thus destroying the demand
for the breeders pigs. The breeders
were happily disappointed and are now
lending their support and backing to
the work. One professor says, "Pig-
club work has created the greatest de-
mand for breeding stock that this state
has ever experienced"
Demand Registered Pigs.
In some cases the refusal of club
members to accept anything but reg
istered pigs has induced breeders to
have their herds registered in order
that they might share in the demand
for pigs by club members. A typical
case of the influence the purebred pigs
brought in by pig-club members is
given by a county agent in Arkansas
When the agent began work there
were two breeders in the county pro-
ducing pigs OF sufficient merit to meet
! the demands of the club work In the
first year of his work he had 35 pig
| club members. Four of these members
! secured registered boars. These boars
sired So litters of pigs from scrut
sows, thereby improving the blood OF
402 pigs. They also sired Al purebred

"Well, I'll go out and find some sage,

She did not spend all her time pick

corner of the cabin within easy reach.
She went first down to the stable and
led Blue inside and unsaddled him.
Ward was lying quiet when she went
in, except that he was waving her
handkerchief to and fro by the cor
ners to cool it. Billy Louise took it
from him, wet it again with cold water
and scOlded him for getting his arms
from under the covers. That, she said

WARFARE ON WEED ENEMIES
Rockinq-Chair Methods Are UnaVaiI-
ing-Hard Work Is Necessary to
Eradicate Them.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
In a sense, farming might be called
a warfare against weeds. Some farm
ers emerge from the struggle victori-
Gus, while others go down to defeat.
So powerful are weed enemies in re-
ducing crop yields, while at the same
time multiplying labor, that the farm
er should at every turn strengthen his
position against them. He should bear
these invaders in mind in planning the
crops he will grow and in deciding on
the fields where he will grow these
crops, in choosing the implements he
will use, in buying his seed, and in
many other farm activities. Lack of
careful planning with reference to
weeds is apparent in nearly every COM
munity. Here a man planted more
corn than he could properly care for.
There a man has left his field in
meadow too many years. Here man
did not thoroughly prepare his land for
alfalfa. There a man has seeded
clover that was full of weed seeds. And
for just such causes weeds not only
make serious inroads on the current
crop yields, but at the same time thor
oughly infest the land and fortify
themselves against future attacks.
Some men do not attack weeds with
enough vigor; they look for rocking
chair methods of work. There is nc
royal road to weed control. In the
main, the old doctrine of hard work
and plenty of it, must be observed, but
unless this work is applied intelligent
! ly vast amount of labor may be ex
pended and but little accomplished be
yond a temporary abatement of the
evil.

hogs for farmers. Farmers also pur-
chased three boars and Sc sows. The
second year in the work the club had
AZ members who had six purebred
boars. They sired II litters from scrub
sows, producing 496 pigs. They also
sired 104 purebred pigs. The agent
adds, 81 think can trace seven boars
and Al sows (purebreds) purchased
by farmers, as a result of pig-club
work in communities, during the sec
ond year of the club"
Introducing Purebreds.
Arkansas typifies the manner in
which purebred breeding stock is be-
ing introduced into sections where they
are needed. Last year 1900 purebre6
gifts were placed with as many pig
club members. The bankers of the
state financed the members. This year
between 2,200 and 2, 400 pigs also were
placed in a similar manner. Another
instance of the introduction of we'll
bred breeding stock and the re-estab-
lishment of waning industry is tax
ing place in the free range cholera
infested section of eastern Texas. The
pig-club agent, assisted by the Fort
Worth Stock Yards Co. and the state
and federal veterinarians, is sending
many car lots of immunized sows to
the club members in this region where
the industry was being destroyed by
the ravages of hog cholera.
Increased Swine Population.
Demonstrations of the sort are of
far-reaching importance. The swine
breeders and swine-record associations
bear witness that there is great de-
mand for purebred breeding stock, es-
pecially in the Southern states. The
pig-club members take many purebred
pigs and have been a powerful stimu-
lus in creating demand among the
adults. 1t is interesting to note that
of the four states, Mississippi, Georgia,
Virginia, and Delaware, reporting in
creases in swine population on Sep
tember 1, 1917, over September 1, 1916,
Mississippi and Georgia stand second
and third in pig-club enrolment. These
two states report an increase of 10000
hogs while the country at large shows
a decrease of 100000 for the period
| mentioned.
