Protect the numblebee.

Expert agriculturists In Australia
and the Philippine islands realized the
importance Of the bumblcbee to the
clover crop. and imported immense
numbers OF them to help along the
crops Of their countries. The humble
bee Is q tlreless worker and keeps
steadily to the business Of protecting
our interests. II he went on strike
or were driven away, as might have
happened not so long ago, when every
body considered all insects pest the
parasites would soon get the upper
hand aud destroy 1,lr- clover crops.

CORN Is KING.
ers or soldier

When the war is over and the food
conservation regime will have become
matter Of habit and inclination as
well as Of patriotic duty, there is go
ing to be greater demand than ever
before for corn.
For corn is rapidly being establish
ed as the principal article of food,
taking the place of wheat.
1t has been demonstrated that there
are more calorics, more fuel, In corn
than in wheat, and that, when properly
cooked, corn products are just as nu-
tritious and as easily digested as four
biscuits. The idea was generally prev.
alent, especially among the negroes,
that biscuits had to be eaten in order
to furnish the body with sufficient mo-
tor power. But this is not true, and
never was.
Even the corn itself eaten off the
ear, which is strictly an American
custom, is very wholesome. Indeed,
there is nothing more palatable than a
tender young roasting ear, creased
well with butter and sprinkled with
salt and pepper.
Darwin has proven that corn is an
original product of this hemisphere
though known in the Old World for
centuries before the first recorded dis
covery in America. The Indians were
wont to raise corn, in spite of their
native aversion to agricultural efforts
In fact, corn was practically their only
crop. and they cultivated it extensively
Italy is the only corn-eating nation
in Europe In England there has al
ways been an aversion to it, and il
English colIoquial use corn was APP
piled to all kinds of grain, rye and bar
ley, as well as maize. 1t is supposed
to be almost entirely a feed for kline
and swine However, until the war
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1918-04-24

began, which curtailed the expectation
of corn, it was beginning to be more
.popularly eaten in England.
There are no grist mills in France
and Belgium, and as meal spoils wher
crossing the water, it is necessary tc
send wheat to those countries. Be
sides, wheat or -four, takes up less
cargo space than corn or meal
Corn is already, to all intents and
purposes, the greatest American crop
and if the demand for it becomes any
more universal after the war, we
can well exclaim with the satirists
that Corn is King, and Cotton
worsted"

AN OBSOLETE HABIT.

There are all sorts of ways Of
swearing. One need not use the sac
religious form of profanity in order 70
be profane. Some of the worst oaths
in the world are made bad simply by
the manner in which they are said
However, it is a gratifying fact that
the habit of profanity is not as general
as it used to be. Children are being
taught that it is bad form to say
even such common explosives as Dog
gone it," and their elders are finding
out that in polite circles the use Of
vigorous explosives, even like by
George!" is not approved
Swearing was once a general habit,
publicly INDUCED in by even kings
and queens. Elizabeth swore Justify
at times, with the same stalwart ear
nestness with which she swigged j
quart of strong beer before breakfast.
Washington's swearing at Monmouth
is historically celebrated, and the pro-
pensity of that army in Flanders is
also renowned. But even in drawing
room circles, once upon a time pro-
family was frequent, and as lightly re-
garded. Thackeray declares that b
ron swore even in his letters.
But swearing is no longer the Gus
tom in polite circles, nor even liked
by gentlemen. Some men have the
habit, and they swear about every
thing. big and little. seemingly tc
stress their feelings; and, it may be
observed. men who swear at all gen.
orally carry it to excess. There's sell
dom a half way mark.
The well-bred man or woman these
days can find good Kings English with
which to express themselves positivelg
and emphatically without resorting Ia
! the stronger and vulgar terms.

ENGLAND's LAND ARMY.

England is organizing what it calls
its land army as distinct from but
co-ordinating with its fighting army.
And in this army woemn as well as
men can find a place in which to do
patriotic service, and so help to win
the war. The land army's duty is, OF
course, mainly to feed the fighting
army. and to that end every able-bod-
led male or female, can find a place,
ard on the whole at better wages than
the fighting man.
The work of the land army is di-
yided into three sections-the agricul-
fural, the forage and the timber cut
ting sections-and in these various
$4,000 women to ad men in the WORK
In the agricultural section these wo-
men will be called upon to do general
farm work, such as milking, plough
ing, hoeing, harvesting, caring for
stock and planting trees and instruc-
tons will be given free for the first
four weeks to those who sign for
year, receiving maintenance during
this period. In what is called the for
age section, the work will comprise
baling hay in the field, work at hay
stores and other work in connection
with preparation of forage for army
horses, while in the timber cutting
section the women will be expected to
fell trees, do saving, cutting and pill
ing of wood, etc.
This is heroic work compared with
knitting for the soldiers and will be
paid for at prices that would have been
considered unusually good by men il
England before the war, the land sol
diers being paid according to expert
ence and ability, S. and upwards a
week, and given free uniforms, free
railway transportation and in some
cases maintenance, though the high
est paid workers are expected to pay
for their billeting.
Of course, in America the demand
for women land soldiers will not be so
urgent as in England, but as part Of
Americas task is to feed her allies,
the necessity for utilizing every man
and woman possible in some kind of
necessary productive work will be in
creasingly felt the longer the dura-
ton of the war. By giving to women
workers the necessary training and
also by the use of the uniform, much
of the army spirit will pervade this
land army. which is supply the fight
ing army with maintenance Possibly
America might do well to follow Eng
lands example and also organize a
land army, making special provision
and training for women land work
ers or soldiers.

TRAINING AFTER THE WAR.

When this war shall have ended, the
one big lesson learned will be that of
the value of preparedness-esp especially
physical preparedness-and more, that
of obedience. All the money and en-
ergy that have been expended in Great
ing training environments for the
transformation of passive civilians
into fighting soldiers should not be
permitted to pass away with the END
ing of the war
Into these camps by the thousands
have come men from all walks of life
and all sorts of temperaments, men
who were used to hard labor, and t
who had never done days work call
ing for purely physical exertion, many
men who were amenable to obedience
and others who rebelled at the word
of command.
And few months of outdoor train
ing and discipline, regular hours and
plain feeding have hardened the
weaker physiques to a physical condi>
ton comparable with those of thei.
more robust companions, and the more
rebellious natures have been made to
understand the meaning of the word
obedience.
In the peaceful days that are to
follow the ending of the present war
rings state, these camps should con-
tinue to be operated in the interests
Of making "the country safe for
health" as they are now employed
in preparing men to help in making
the world safe for democracy
This can be done by continuing the
draft-with this difference; it will be
9 peace and not a war draft. Every
year, in months of endurable weather
quotas 70 young men will be drawn for
service in health conservation and
mental discipline, and the future gen.
erations of young America, physically
perfected and mentally disciplined, vii

Market Your Eggs at Higher
Prices

Money is being made today in
Vermont with poultry, even under
the present grain prices. 1t can
only be done, however, by stopping
all leaks and wastes. Judging by
the quality and condition of eggs
, that appear on the average market,
there is much need of more atten-
ton to grading, cleanliness and mar
keting methods. This will improve
the appearance of your product.
After these things are done, look to
your selling price.
One example which illustrates this
point is the fact that one grocery
lJtore was paying the farmer &c cents
per dozen, and less than % miles
away eggs were selling at retail in
stores at 80 cents per dozen. The
farmers should get some of this IA
cents difference by forming egg cir
Giles or some cooperative means of
selling.
You may not have eggs enough
yourself to bother, but there are
eggs enough in your section to pay
to centralize the production into one
party's hands. Have him or her
candle, grade and pack the eggs at
tractively and also attend to the
shipping and marketing. You have
to deliver your eggs somewhere:why
not take them to the headquarters
of Community Egg Circle of which
you are member, and know that
you are getting all that you can pos
sibly receive for your eggs. 1t is
not expected that you would receive
all of this IA cents difference, be-
cause there would be the transporta-
ton, Gambling and grading charges
ETC., which would amount to around
three cents per dozen. But if you
could get even 8 to 10 cents more
per dozen on 10 dozen hens per year,
this would make $50 to Sl.0O more
profit to you per hen.
1t would probably be necessary to
have Gambling, grading and pack
ing demonstt alton in your section.
This can be had at no expense to you
or the organization by writing to
your county agent or the Extension
Service of the University of Vermont
or directly to the Department of Ag-
riculture at Washington.

Potato Blight

The potato blight has made it's
appearance in the county during the
last week. The earlyness of it's
coming indicates that large amount
of damage will be done before the
season is over. The frost has made
every field of potatoes more valuable
than ever. Although it is several
weeks too late to begin, a thorough
spraying with Bordeaux every week
or ten days according to weather
conditions. may do a great deal to-
ward saving the crop. If your pota-
toes are not already affected it is
well worth trying even at this late
date. Those who sprayed in season
must remember that the battle is not
won by one or two sprayings early
in the season, but by keeping the
vines covered by the mixture
throughout the summer.
