GOOD FARM ADVICE.

Grenada, Miss.
Dear Sentinel:-
Last February ] contributed an
article to your paper for the benefit |
Of the farmers of Grenada and ad- |
joining counties, on diversifying for
the season just past.
The voice of the goddess Ceres has
been hearkened, and she has lavish
ed unto the toiIer and the tiller
Of the soil bounteous harvest. But
with all these good things, we can
hear on the streets, or at gather
tinrs numur from men, that they
rsrc- -ss,l }hey had not planted more
to COTTON in .-afs,7.
Dear f..snas, have you ever taken
Retrospective view and considered
the benefits derived, and possibilities
opened to your vision of the true
intrinsic value of the soil Of Gre
NADIA county?
Have you ever seen better corn,
peas, sorghum. peanuts, and irish po-
ltatoes and sweet potatoes, with
score of other things, than were
grown in your midst?
1t has made you happy and con-
tented inwardly; you can take all the
cotton raised in America, turn il into
cloth and wrap yourself in the mid
die of it, still you will be unhappy
and an unsatisfied person, if your
stomach feels the pangs of hunger.
| | am not an agitator against cot
ton; far from it. For our SOIL eli
matte and atmospheric conditions are
generally ideal for the growing of
cotton in our community, Though
am strictly against all cotton, as
there is ruin in the course of time in
its path. 1t will eventually bring
destitution unto the delta" the gar
den spot the world, if the people will
not change their method of ag1-i-
culture.
| Land owners, see that every ten
ant has Il pig or two now, it will be-
come nice nOS lthuy ioi hhhiiiS ~
fall, and at the same time help use
up the waste and refuse around the
house; it will also make the party
feel as if he is owner of some of the
worlds goods.
| Plow your gardens in the next few
days, and thereby cause the soil to
become more steriliZed, and get in
form, so that the little plant rootlcts
can assimilate the properties needed.
Let me also note that a good gar
den and few chickens is a battle
half won for 1918.
We must conserve as we never did
before, if we want to come out of the
conflict now raging. as victors and
with justice to our cause.
am,
Yours truly,
HENRY SELTSAM.

MUST CURB MOVIE ENTHUSI xSN.

Probation officer James Petty made
a short talk Wednesday night by re
quest to the boys at the Colville theater
in which he in substance said:
"I am not here as one of the regular
four minute speak kers. but by request
I desire to occupy about three minutes
of your time, I have been recently in
formed on good authority that there
is now and has been n group of boys OF
various ages that have been disturb
ing element and have made themselves
a source of annoyance here in the
picture show.
Now ] am not speaking particularly
in the interest Of the management of
this show, but more particularly I'm the
interest Of it's patrons who come hero
and pay their admission for the pur.
pose of being amused or entertained
For any one to d!starb or annoy such
people is nothing Tess than an impo
sition and not right or proper.
"Of course, when there is comedy.
climax or display of patriotism shown
upon the screen, it Is perfectly proper
to applaud to reasonable degree, but
when this applause reaches "A point Of
boistrous conduct tending to annoy or
disturb others, 1t Is not right or proper
"Now, hope that my remarks viii
be taken by the boys In the same kindly
spirit in which they are given, but I
wish to say here and now. speaking as
a juvenile officer, speaking authoritive-
ly and advisedly, that any boistrous
conduct tending to disturb and annoy
others should not and will not he tolcr-
ated in this show in the future. A word
to the wise is sufficient"

EXCESS WHEAT FLOUR

Every resident of the county who has
not made report to the county food ad-
ministration Of his excess flour hold
ings, or made return to his merchant,
Is guilty of failure to respond to the
request of thes food administration, ana
subject to the suspicion of boarding.
Merchants are all asked to accept re-
turn Of flour on the basis of trade ex-
change at present market prices. but
If the flour should happen to be OF
such kind or condition that it is not re-
salable and for that reason impossible
of exchange, he or the owner of the
-four should make report to the county
food administrator of the amount, kind
and ownership of the -four in question,
so that in case of necessity it may be
utilized IL desired.
Merchants. companies or individuals
who are compelled to appeal to the
county food administration for flour
supplies, will be closely investigated
as to the degree of patriotism they
have exhibited in following the regu-
lations of the food program.

CALL FOR WHEAT.

Under an order issued by Charles
Hebberd, food administer for Washing
ton. all wheat held on farms in this
state which is not necessary for home
use will be requisitioned after May 15.
Most of the surplus wheat on the
farms has already gone to market.
There are, however, quantities in some
localities still retained on the farms.
Tn some cases holders of this wheat
have been Influenced by pro-German
motives and In some instances by er-
roneous expectation OF receiving a
higher price. The higher price estab-
lished for 1918 wheat in the Pacific
northwest district. or any price that
might be estat lished hereafter by con-
gressional act, Is for 1918 crop only.
There Is no way, therefore, that any
grower can benefit by holding his
grain after May Is. and in case of such
boarding 1t can only be presumed that
the hoarder Is Influenced by improper
motives.

GERMAN OFFICERS
 CHANGE ATTITUDE.

British Army Headquarters in France, Aug. 25.- (Reuter's) 1.-The demeanor of hundreds of German of ficers taken prisoner recently IS Tn striking contrast with the attitude of officers captured during the British retreat last spring. Then German officer prisoners were arrogant and meant to crush the British to earth, but now they are depressed and very anxious. They appear very willing to talk and the tenor of their conversa- tion may be summed up as follows:
 They say that Germany entered the war with enthusiasm, but this has long since disappeared and the strug- gle has now become an economic one, with Great Britain.
 They admit that Germany is in prac- tically hopeless condition, both economically and from the man-pow- CT point of view and ask whether Germany sufficiently reduced to be no longer dangerous trade rival or whether the allies intend to crush her altogether. In the latter case, they say, Germany will be forced to fight to the last, but they make no effort to conceal their impression of what this means for the fatherland.
 They say they believe there IS ev- cry disposition to evacuate Belgium and Northern France, and even nego- tiate for for the retention or evacu- ation of Alsace Lorraine.
 They are generally unanimous in agreeing that exactions thus far made and the Brest-Litovsk peace treaty were great mistakes, but think they cannot withdraw from Russia in the present condition of affairs there.
 They are aware that the American army now has assumed very formld- able proportions and there is gener- al admission of the seriousness of this factor.
 The submarine campaign, they can not refer to without gestures of inn patience.
 Captured n-commissioned off cers attribute recent German defeats to the inefficiency of their air ser vice and more especially to the mex perience and lack of stamina of the latest recruits, who are most made quately drilled and trained and who are physically incapable of sustaining the heavy strain of defensive war fare. The mere presence of these new recruits, they say, produces in company demoralizing effect upon the older men, because it indicates to what straits Germany must be reduc- ed to employ such poor material.

FRUIT GAN FEE PUT
 UP WITHOUT SUGAR
Canning Specialists Say Boiling Wa ter May Be Used Instead of
 Syrup.

The present shortage and price of big surplus. Fruit for use in pies or stewed fruit can be put mp without the use Of sugar, accord ing to the canning specialists of the Extension Division of the Univers- ity of Arkansas. Any fruit may be sterilized successfully and retained in the pack by simply adding boiling water instead of the hot syrup.
 Can the product the same day it is picked. Gull, stem, or seed and clean the fruit by placing it in strainer and pouring water over it until it is clean. Pack the product thoroughly in glass jars or tin cans until they are full; use the handle of table spoon, wooden ladle, or table knife for packing purposes. Pour over the sruit boiling water from kettle, place rubbers and caps in position, partially seal if using glass jars, seal complete iy if using tin cans. Place the con tainers in sterilizing vat, such as a wash boiler with false bottom. or other receptacle improvised for the purpose. If using a hot water bath out fit, process for thirty minutes, count ing time after the water has reached the boiling point; the water must cover the highest jar in container. Af ter sterilizing, remove packs, seal glass jars, wrap in paper to prevent bleaching. and store in dry, cool place.
 If you are canning in tin cans it will improve the product to plunge the cans quickly into cold water imme diately after sterilization.

Despite the tremendous victories that have been won during the past several weeks, we here at home should not allow ourselves to revel too lux uriously in state of over-optimism. The war will be won, but the victory for which the allies are fighting is yet in the future. No one must lose sight of the tremendous responsibil- ny that rests upon the people back home, and with every victory we s1hould become more determined to sacrifice anything needed to bring another victory. One of the easiest ways to prolong the war is to believe it is nearly over.
