DEMAND FOR SUGAR

Ample Room for Expansion Of Both

tended In Many Localities.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture)
With the present growing demand
for sugar in the United States, 1t is
important that every possible means
be employed on the farm to produce
substitutes. One way by which this
can be done is to keep bees and get
crop Of honey, which can be used in
many ways In place of sugar. The pro-
duction of honey in this country can
be increased without great effort. Not
only should those who already keep
bees increase the number of their col
onies, but the industry should be ex-
tended in localities where beekeeping
has not been tried on a commercial
scale.
The average annual honey crop Of
the United States is about 25O,OOO,OO
pounds and Is sufficient to supply each

man, woman and child with about 2h
pounds year, which is equivalent to
per cent of the amount of sugar they
consume in normal times. Thus there
Is ample room for expansion of both
the production and consumption. The
present use of honey in the home usu-
ally is as a substitute for jellies, jams,
and strip. 1t is little used in domestic
cooking or baking, but this use should
be increased. While honey within re-
cent years has sold at prices sufficient
ly low to justify its use as a substitute
for sugar, 1t is rarely used in CONNER
cial food manufacturing except in the
making Of certain cakes which must
be kept moist for q considerable time.
Usually however, the supply of honey
is so inadequate that most of the crop
can be used as spread for bread.
With the use limited as 1t is, many
people in the United States rarely eat
honey, but it is evident that there
might be developed a ready sale for
honey as a supplement to sugar, II
production were increased many times.
The amount of nectar secreted by
the untold myriads Of flowers, from
which bees make honey, is large be-
yond our comprehension. The total
amount of sugar in the nectar greatly
exceeds the amount of all sugar and
other sweets consumed by the Ameri-
can people. Unfortunately, from the
standpoint Of man. this sugar cannot
all be collected and utilized as human
food. Even the honey bee, which is so
often used as an example Of industry,
consumes for Its own food the larger
part Of all that 1t collects.
Bookkeeping is, therefore, the means
of saving for human use small frac.
tion of the vast store of sugar secreted.
But the raw material Is free and its
conservation costs only q small ex-
pendlture for equipment and relatively
little in labor, and the honey crop could
be increased 10 or even 20 times with
out increasing the cost of production
per pound to an appreciate degree.

LIMESTONE FOR SOUR SOILS
Farmers Have Been Too Slow il APP

Ground limestone is the greatest
known aid to bigger, better crops.
Farmers have been far too slow In
approaching its value. Only ten years
ago, not more than few hundred
tons of lime were used in this country
annually. At the present time the
yearly tonnage has mounted up to the
million mark, but even this is too 1T

It has been said that one acre In

lime is badly needed all over eastern
Ohio. Nearly every acre Of land In
New England is In need of lining.
Also the land of the Atlantic and Gulf
coast plains. In Wisconsin, four-fifths
of the land In the state needs II badly.
Even in the heart Of the corn belt, the
richest land In the world. farmers are
turning to the use of lime to grow big
crops of corn and wheat. Every acre
Of sour land In the country badly needs

ground limestone applied.

MichaeImas Day.

An old-time holiday falls on the
twenty-ninth Of September. It is Mich
aelmas day, properly named the day
of st. Michael and All Angels. For
centuries it has been observed in Eng
land as a religious festival, although
now it's secular side is more thought
of than it's religious side. AS a rule
in England rents are paid, not month
ly but quarterly, and for generations
one quarter ends on Michaelmas day.
1t is, therefore, a busy day with land
lords and tenants. 1t was also the day
on which the old towns elected their
magistrates and aldermen for the en-
suing year. "The only other remark
able thing connected with the day."

ters SIS a widely prevalent custom of
marking it with a goose dinner"

Tin Plate in Rolls.

Tin plate in the shape of continuous
rolls, like tar paper, instead Of in the
shape of flat sheets as at present, is
now possible. A power-driven solder
ing press has recently been designed for
joining and soldering the sheets into
a continuous strip for roofing pur-
poses. One man can operate the ma
chine, hooking the sections of tin plate
together and operating the solder and
fiux on the seam. The capacity is four
seams a minute or 20 boxes of tin
plate a day. 1t is claimed that by
use of the machine a better and more
durable seam can be made than by
hand, and that it will be solid and uni
form on both sides, the solder pene-
trating and welding all parts of the
seam. The economy and convenience
to the roofer from the tin-plate roll
thus produced need not be pointed out.

comes identical with that of the roofing

thought of what lay before her bored

not be. Something terrible had hap

She had heard nothing of him for

they were engaged, too! He had
probably met some other girl he liked
better, and had, perhaps, married her
and was on honeymoon. She deter
mined not to feel melancholy about it,
