War Emergency Threshermen's Report

War Emergency Throshermesl's Report
At the end Of the threshering season
the government would like to know
the exact amount of wheat on hand.
For this reason the Department Of
Agriculture has ordered every thresh-
erman to report the number Of acres
of wheat and the number Of bushels
of wheat threshed at every farm. for
both 1917 and 1918. These reports
are toSbe in the hands of the County
Agent by the End Of the following
month because, the County Agent must
give complete report by the 9Th. For
instance, on the 2nd Of August, the
July report must bein, etc. In order
to help threshermen get out this re-
port, the Department Of Agriculture
has gotten out report blank and a
threshernan's account book. This book
will be distributed at every labor Office
in the County and local threshermen
can get them at these offices. They
can also be secured at the County Az
ent's office in Wahpeton. The reports
for cereals other than wheat, must be
reported at the end Of the threshing
season. Further inquiries will be
answered at this Office.
Second Sale of Stock Breeders
The Richland County Live Stock
Breeders association is going to hold
it's second sale on the last day of the
Fair. This will be September 9th.
The Breeders association is planning
to hold two annual sales, one in spring
and one at Fair time. Farmers of
this county will do we'll to held their
breeding stock for these sales, and al
so buy what they need at these sales.
In that way, good local market can
be established. This will be valuable
to every breeder in the County.
Federal Farm Loans
Farmers expecting to- borrow money
from the Federal Land bank should
put in their applications now. Last
year we began to get money from this
source. In fact, we accommodated a
good many farmers. Last year how
ever. we had a good many difficulties
to encounter. First of all the Land
bank was new in the business and was
swamped with applications. Then too,
we were new in the business and had
to organize our association. This year
the Land bank is going in good shape.
We are organized and ready for GUS
toners. Any farmer in this county
can now avail himself of the oppor.

WAHPETON WOMEN TO USE
STEAM PRESSURE GAMER

Our latest word from Hoover is that
there will be far greater loss Of life
among the allies in the next two
months. through starvation than
through battle. The figures already
how 4.75O.OO0 starved in 4 years. $3.50,
600 killed in 4 years of war.
The Food Administration urges every
one to can as many vegetables and
fruits as possible and reduce the con-
sumption of meat and cereals. Through
the efforts of several Of the public
spirited women Of Wahpeton, a steam
pressure Gamer has been purchased, to
be installed in a community kitchen
for the use of the housewives.
This cooker has a capacity Of 100
to 200 cans daily, and is used by hun.
dreds Of county demonstrators. who say
that, in canning BY this method, failure
is impossible.
Here is chance for housewives
who have never attempted to can and
for those who have not been success
full in keeping their canned produce
to stock their cellars with cans that
will not spoil and help the Food Ad-
ministration. The cooker cans in one
third less time than that required by
the old fashioned wash boiler method.
A slight charge per can will be made
in order to meet the running expense
Even so it will be much less expensive
than home canning, with the present
price Of fuel.
The kitchen is to be conducted by
graduates of the Domestic Science
School, Miss Donna Forkner, Mable
Quinn, Anna Braun, and Agnes Bader,
who have volunteered their services for
the patriotic purpose of saving food.
The kitchen is to he in charge of the
civic committee of the Womans' Lit
erary Club, under the able leadership
of Mrs. Murray to whom any one may
apply for further details.
