How does it feel to be blown up
by a Hun "minnienwerfer" and to
suffer from shell shock for months
afterward?
There's a man out at Walter Reeo
Hospital who knows.
He is Corp. Edward KIssell, late Of
the Canadian Expeditionary Force.
Shell shock is a mental wound.

thing else the guns can do to yod

In the fighting at Yppes in Novem-
Der. 1915. Corp. KisseII was COM

Although unscathed, he spent eight
months in English. French and Cana

STORING ACID
PHOSPHATE
ARKANSAS FERTILIZER COMPANY
is MANUFACTURING FERTILE
Err FOR USE DURING FALL
AND WINTER MONTHS.

Acid phosphate at the rate of 120
tons daily is being manufactured al
the plant of the Arkansas Fertilizer
Company and placed in storage bins
until fall when it will be mixed with
other minerals into fertilizer. Other
wise the big plant is not operating,
and the summer months will be utiliz-
ed in going over all the machinery
and getting it in readiness for the
winter rain.
Phosphate rock is rather hard %
get, but the Arkansas company is
taking all it can get the year round SO
as to have a supply on hand when the
demand comes. This rock is being
brought from Tennessee and double
the price is paid for it than is asked
for Florida phosphate The rate will
not apply from Florida, however, and
the government will not permit such
a long haul. The Florida phosphate
beds are practically idle, for most CT
the rock mined there is used in for
eign trade, and there is little of this
now.
e. E. Newhouse, manager of the Ar
kansas Fertilizer Company, left Mon
day for Atlanta and Washington,
where he will attend to business con
nected with the company.

GERMANS SAVE
BY DRYING FOOD
WE LOSE BY PERMITTING FOOD
STUFF TO ROT-BY PROPER
METHODS WE CAN FEED THE
WORLD ON WHAT WE WASTE.

According to the latest census, there
are in Germany about 700 potato-dry-
ing factories mot including drying cyl
inders), $50 drying cylinders, 400 open
drying plants, $50 corn-drying plants,
$50 vegetable drying factories, 225
drying plants in sugar factories, and
% milk-drying plants. About 200 of
the 1900 malt kilns are also equipped
for vegetable drying.
There were about 400 suitable con-
Germs for the drying of cabbage tur-
nips (kohlrabi) in the year 1861.
The central office for drying put its
plant at the disposal of the authori-
ties for the drying of cabbage turnips,
and placed numerous drying contracts
with suitable factories. An agency
system has also been established by
which drying contracts are placed on
behalf of landowners who do not them
seleves possess a plant.
Various states have established spe-
cial organizations for the promotion of
drying. The number of industrial
firms which supply drying plants ana
auxiliary machines for drying has in
creased considerably during the war;
Sc firms now supply complete drying
apparatus, and 81 other firms supply
auxiliary machines and parts.
In the technical sphere the central
Office has occupied itself with testing
and approving new drying processes
and testing the capacity of completed
drying factories. Public authorities,
industrial firms, commercial drying
factories, and agricultural circles alike
have had increasing recourse to the
central office for information, both
about economic questions connected
with drying and about technical pro
cesses.
The total capacity of the potato-dfy-
ing factories now existing in Germany
is 100000 hundredweight.

FARMERS CAN
MORE Than EYER
REPORTS FROM INTERIOR SHOW
THAT FARMER is NOT PERMIT.
TING ANYTHING TO GO TO
WASTE THIS YEAR.

Arkansas farmers are making the
most of their products this year by
canning whatever cannot be taken
to market. There is no real shortage
of cans for the simple reason that the
concerns that deal in tinware antiei-
pated the demand and laid in large
supply.
Il have received reports from many
sections" states J. B. Dickinson, Of
the Cooper-Dickinson Grocer Com
pany, land all indicate that the farm
ers have canned much more heavily
than in any former year. They have
picked berries and their early vege-
tables have all been saved by this
process. They are expecting to can
tomatoes in large quantities, and the
indications are that the sweet potato
crop will be such that we will have
plenty of them to fill all the available
cans. The peach crop is going to be
light, but there will be quite lot 10
can, for it cannot all be sent TO
market.
THE farmer of Arkansas is going
to do his part in the conservation o.
food. This is factor in the trade too,
for the Arkansas farmer has not been
known to any extent in the canned
goods trade in former years"
