SUGAR BEET CLUBS.
Are Advocated for Vermont Commune
ties.

The U. S. department of agriculture
| has sent the extension service OF the
| University of Vermont and state agrl-
cultural college, limited quantity OF
sugar beet seed for free distribution in
connection with the boys and girls club
work
This will be put out a pound or more
to community. 1t is suggested that
sugar beet clubs be organized with five
to ten members, each member to plant
and care for one or more ounces of seed.
Those who are enrolling in garden work
can do this work with sugar beets.
There will be two requirements of
each person who secures this free seed:
First Each person will be required to
raise sugar beets and convert the most
of them into sugar beet syrup for home
use.
Second. Each person will be required
to raise sugar beet seed next year in at
least a sufficient quantity to return what
was given him free this year.
The process of sugar extraction is very
simple. Anyone having a soil adapted
to growing sugar ,beets should try a few
rows this year. They yield heavily and
should prove a cheap source of sugar.

you can't buy"
The sugar beet does best on rich,
deep, loose, permeable soil. A light, rich,
sandy soil furnishes beets rich in sugar.
A heavy clay soil is not apt TO produce
good sugar beets. Rocky or stony land
must be avoided, as it produces mis-
shapen roots hard to clean. Wet, low
lands are, of course, undesirable. Greens
ward il not considered as good ~ old
land. A shallow soil, OF one having a
hard sub-soil, would not be recommend

garden soils would grow good sugar

The Use of Soda.

Don't mix your soda with a liquid and
allow il to effervesce half its strength
before getting il into the batter. What
ever you are mixing, put your soda in
dry, just as you would baking powder.
1t does not need to be sifted with the
-four, if humps are removed with the
fingers and the batter is thoroughly beat.
en- after the soda is added.
In this way only one half the soda is
needed, as you lose nothing of its
strength. One half of a level teaspoon
full of soda TO one cupful of liquid is en-
tirely sufficient when added dry. The
residuum left after effervescence is Meth
er wholesome nor palatable, and turns
the cake yellow; therefore the less of it
the better.
When making cookies, always add the
soda when the dough is about the con
sistency of cake batter, beating well,
afterwards getting in the remainder of
the -four with as little mixing as pos
sible
If these directions in regard to the use
of soda are followed, your cakes, cookies
and biscuits will be us white as though
made with baking powder and no one
will ever know from the flavor whether
baking powder or soda was used.
Something which surprises older and
the fact that water is quite as good as
milk for mixing almost any kind of bat
ter. Indeed, cakes are much more deli
cate and tender made with water than
when made with milk

Great Wheat Stocks
Isolated.

It's the shortage in ships that
is putting the Allies and the
United States on wheat rations.
Great stocks OF wheat are iso-
lated In India, and Australia. At
great sacrifice in ship space and
use the Allies are forced TO Sc
cure some wheat from Argentina.
On January l. Australia had
stored i00,o00.0o0 bushels of
wheat that was ready for ex-
port-but there were no ships.
Then came the new crop with
an exportable surplus of s0,000.-
600 bushels Now Australia has
approximately lS0,000,0o0 BUSH
els waiting for ships.
India, at the same time. had
100000 bushels OF wheat
stored for export. During April
10000. 600 bushels more out of
the new crop viii be added to
the pile.
Argentina closed the last ship
ping season with 100000
bushels OF wheat left In the
stock available for export. The
new crop will add l35,oo0.000 to
the left over.
II is not a problem that the
wheat does not exist In the
world--lt Is entirely problem
OF shipping, which has thrown on
America the obligation Of divld-
Ing our stock with the Allies.

The splendid roads in France
have played an important part in
making it possible for the Allies to
move their armies and supplies so
rapidly from one point to the other.
Good roads in the Potlatch will be
the chief factor in developing this
wonderfully rich farming country
and putting it on par with the
best agricultural sections in the
United States. The land is as pro-
ductiye as the best but the trans
portation facilities from the farm
to market are anything but desir-
able. This country simply must
have grades to market that will not
exceed seven percent in the steepest
place and that can be travelled
twelve months in the year. When
this desirable condition has been
realized farm land will be off the
market as this country will be as
nearly perfect from the farmers
standpoint as can be found any
place and no one will have any in
clination to dispose of his property.
What is badly needed is goodly
number of good roads boosters like
Clarence Fry, Scotty Wilson and M.
E. Newhall. The question of bet
ter roads is simply up to the land
owners of the Potlatch.

It will be but a few weeks until

1t will be but few weeks until
the public school will open for an
other years work. 1t is to be hoped
that the coming year will bring
with it a greater interest in the
welfare of the school on the part OF
the parents in the district. 1t is
customary here for probably dozen
people to take enough interest in
the progress of the school to climb
the hill to the school house once a
year and cast perfunctory vote for
a board of trustees. After this is
done their responsibility ends-they
have done their duty. The school
board, however, is expected to get
under the load, shoulder the re-
sponsibility, do all the work and
give the town a better school than
ever, for less money. A little en-
enlargement and assistance given
to the board would show proper
spirit and would make the arduous
duties connected with its work seem
much less Of a burden.

-Four questions which every Ameri-

suggested by the Dixie Highway, the
good roads publication Of the Dixie
Highway association.
Do you ever stop to consider that
every bale of cotton the farmer can
add to his wagonload makes his prof

And that every pound of merchan-
disc which can be added to the truck
load makes truck haulage that much
more reasonable?
And that every foot of good road

travel increases the nations delivery
facilities?
And that every inch of bad road-of
Extraordinarily road-makes hauling
that much more expensive; makes the
farmers profit that much less than it
should be?

Importance of food selection and prep

CRITICS SHOULD BE PLEASED

Some of those who are loudest in
criticising the administration for
its conduct of the war, should read
the statements made on both sides

administration said when war was
declared against Germany: "The
United States should have so. 900
soldiers in France at the close of
this year (1917) and 100000 by
the first of July, 1918"
The reports show that at the end
of 1917 there were 500, 900 soldiers

critic said we should have by that
time) in France and on July l,
