Service Checks Satisfactory

CAMP DIX, New Jersey, Sept. T.
A system Of service checks in denomi-
nations of frances, which has been
adopted here, has emptied the pockets
Of practically every departing soldier
Of American cash before the arrival of
the sailing date. and the results have
been so excellent that it is believed the
plan will be extended to other camps.
The cooperation of certain New York
banks made the plan feasible, and it
became so popular that as much as
$4,000 worth Of checks had been
issued at the departure of single d.
vision. The issuance Of the checks re-
lieves the soldiers of the necessity of
paying commissions in foreign coun-
try to exchange their American money,
and obviate the possibility Of their be-
ing preyed upon by INSCRIPTIONS

THE RED CROSS NURSES OF EUROPE
ARE GIVING TOASTED
CIGARETTES TO THE BOYS

To anyone who doesn't know of the
wonderful advances that have been made
in the preparation of smoking tobaccos
in the last few years it may sound strange
to speak of toasted cigarettes.
Strictly speaking, we should say ciga-
rettes made of toasted tobacco; the smok.
ers of this country will recognize it more
readily by its trade name, LUCKY
STRIKE the toasted cigarette.
The American Tobacco Company are
producing millions of these toasted ciga.
rettes and these are being bought in
enormous quantities through the various
tobacco funds conducted by the news
papers of the country and forwarded
through the Red Cross Society to the boys
in France.
This new process of treating tobacco
not only improves the favor of the tobacco
but it seals in this flavor and makes
the cigarettes keep better.
The Red Cross nurse is always glad to
have cigarette for the wounded soldier,
as, in most instances, that is the first
thing asked for. ADV.

When applying 2 tons per acre or
less, the best results can be obtained
by putting the compost in the furrow
and bedding out on it. BE careful not
to bury too deep, especially on clay
soils. When using more than 2 tons

British Stimulate Flax Yield.

The British government soon will
launch a $5O,OOO,OOO scheme for in
creasing the cultivation of flax in Ire
land, owing to the Importance Of flax
for the manufacture of airplane wings.
Estimates by experts show that the
quantity Of fax grown in Ireland
would not be sufficient in the coming
year for this and other demands. Farm
ers who own land suitable for the pur-
pose will be offered subsidies, and the
government probably will secure in adj
dition large areas Of land In the mid

likely to be scarcity of seed, and ex-
periments are to be made with the use

AS the supply Of breeding sows was
short last fall the breeding ranks will
have to be filed to considerable ex-
tent with gifts from the feed lots.
These gifts will not produce quite so
large filters as mature sows may be
expected to produce. Therefore, farm
ers using gifts should breed slightly
above the prescribed quotas in order
to insure the requisite increase.
Program Outlined.
Attention should be given to the fact
that this program has been carefully
worked out according to the known re-
quirements for 1918. If 1t Is met in
every detail, these requirements will
be fulfilled. If the farmer breeders Of
the various states do not reach the
quotas set forth for them, more acute
shortage of pork products will result
than now prevails, extremely high
prices for hams. bacon, and lard will
prevail and only few will benefit.

high prices and a shortage of neces-

IL the program is carried out, market
is provided for about One-third Of the
1917 corn crop. the demands on the
country for pork products can be met
without strain. prices to the producer
will be remunerative. and those paid
by the consumer should be reasonable.
