Western gains top honors in the
High School League today. The RED
and White team demonstrated super
iority over Business to a marked de
gree at the Y. NJ. C. A yesterday in
quite the fastest game OF the series.
The score was rs to ..
For the first eight minutes it ap-
peared TO be all Business. as the
Stenographers held Western scoreless
and counted four on two foul snots
and a basket by Mike Raedy.
The second period found Western
slipping into high. with Business
trailing behind the speed shown b.
the Red and White lads. Business
failed to count in the second period,
and the half ended Z to in favor OF
Western. In the second half Western
proceeded TO play Business all over
the court. Heron, Pepper, EisinGer,
Wight and Sinclair got going and
added I'VE points in the third period.
while Business hooked but one free
toss. The fourth period found west
ern going at top speed. Six more
points were registered.
Business was held to a single
floor goal. and that made in the
opening period when Mike Raedy shot
one through. The Business lads had
several chances. hut blew them after
being so hurried. Western might
have increased It's total had either
Pepper or Heron been able to care
the ball on free losses. Western got
six points in fourteen attempts.
The StenoEraphers sent in several
substitutes in the second half, but
SCHNEIDER and Cuiffreda. who we're
added in place OF Colubrn and Raedy,
were unable to maintain the psse set
by Western. II was not until West

THE lNsEcTIciDE SITUATION.
Demand Should Be. Anticipated Be
 fore It is Too Late.

It has been emphasized during the last few years more than ever before that we have one of two alternatives:
 either anticipation or consternation. Just as there has been trouble with coal, sugar, grain and fertilizer, so we can see that trouble in getting insec- ticides may be added to the list, for there is already shortage in arsenic, the basis of many of our insecticides The source of arsenic for insecti- cides is white arsenic, and arsenicus oxide, produced from the roasting of arsenical ores. Imports upon which we have depended for a great deal of the arsenical ores, has been cut off. The price of arsenic has consequently risen and there is consequent rise in | the prices of most of the arsenical in- 1 secticides, The advance in the fall of 1917 was approximately ten per cent. over the prices quoted in the early
 summer and these prices seem to be holding up to the present time.
 There is a shortage of sulphur, as
 well, owing to the lack of suitable
 working sources in this country, hence there has been corresponding ad-
 vance in price of material for the
 making of lime sulphur solution.

STARCH FROM POTATOES.
Those Which Have Been Frozen Can
 Be Utilized,

| Because of the extreme cold re- gently, many bushels of potatoes have been frozen and people have asked if l this means a total loss of the prod ucts
 l If the potatoes are used soon, they maye be made into potato starch, us- l ing the following recipe which was prepared by the Department of Agrf- culture for Boys and Girls Potato Clubs. It is given much in detail that 1 children may understand it.
 Recipe for Home Made Potato Starch. l Equipment needed: Two clean gall vanized tubs, one large dish pan, one <, cylindrical grater. and plenty of wa ter and wiping cloths. 1 Select five bushels of uniform sized potatoes, free from potato scab and l surface blemishes. Wash them thor oughly by tho use of plenty of water and small scrubbing brush.
 Use fone tub for cleaning potatoes and the other for the gratings. Seat | yourself in a convenient place be- l tween the two t1ibs, with dish pan and l grater in your lap.
 l Without removing the skin, grate your clean potatoes from right-hand tub into the side pan, and empty pan l of gratings into the well cleaned tub l to your left when necessary. Cor- tinue this operation until your left hand tube is a trifie over half full. i Pour clean water into tub upon the 1 potato gratings until nearly full, stir well so as to saturate every particle with water.
 Remove all peelings and fiating ma terial from top of water, and allow tub to stand over night so that starch will settle to bottom and all pulp and potato skin will rise to top of the water.
 In the morning remove all water carefully from the tub, as well as the dark formation and sediment on tor
 of layer of starch, being careful not
 to waste the starch. Again pour a
 fresh supply of water over the starch
 and stir so as to rinse all particles ot
 startch well.
 Allow to stand for about hours
 then remove water and pulp as before
 Continue this process with new ap-
 pIications and careful stirrings, ,as
 many times as it is necessary to eff feet a complete separation of pulp
 peeling and sediment from the starch
 This will usually take four or five
 washings.
 Potato starch is a healthful foot | and can be used in at least a dozer
 different ways for food purposes ir
 making buildings, salads, milk dishes
 etc. It is both an easy and economi
 cal method of providing valuabl, : food product for the average home. II The potato water, and wastes in cident to the process can easily b utilized by feeding hogs, poultry ant stock
 The thickening properties of potat
 starch are about equal to those o wheat four-in some cases a trif greater Potato starch may be use, in white sauce, boiled or frozen GUS [ tard, or lemon pie--M. Estelle Spra ! que, Connecticut Agricultural College

mained about the same since 1914 and there is no anticipation of any change in the near future.
 The government will shortly fix the price of insecticides. This will give further stability to the price and should ease the minds of buyers on this point, although it seems that in- secticide companies have played fair Tn this matter, moving up their prices only in accordance with the rise in the price of raw materials.
 The problem of transportation and distribution is one of great importance and dealers and growers will do well to make early plans for another year ordering supplies we'll in advance of their need, particularly for those in- secticides containing arsenic which are sure to be needed for the protec- tion of staple crops. It is hoped that organizations will cooperate to the extent of buying carload lots. from the manufacturer since this makes for economy and quick delivery
 Asenate of lead powder can be stored in any dry room. Arsenate ot lead paste must be stored in a warm room; most cellars are suitable.
 Growers should either make plans for buying now, or find out the con dition of the market at an early date from those from whom they are &C., customed to buy. Dealers should an- ticipate the demand instead of wait ing until the insects have taken more than their usual ten per cent of the profits before attempting to secure g supply from the manufacturer.
 Let us not be. caught next year as many were caught last summer when the potato plant lice increased ir number and did such destructive work Many dealers were unable to supply the farmers demands and few farm CTS had a sufficient stock on hand.

The crossing of the Channel was | made that night on a luxurious hos | pital ship and at dawn the decks were crowded with men waiting to catch the first glimpse of Blighty. l Two special hospital trains rushed l us to London and we were immedi-

With present high prices of labor and feed it is necessary for every COW owner to look for the highest production. of the cows if he is to come out with a gain at the end of the year.
 Feeding will help to get this high production and a study of it is time mighty well spent.
