Limestone Coal Substitute.

Lancaster, Pa.-Limestone as a
substitute for coal has been proved to
be a success by Lancaster county
farmer, Christian H. Habecker, of
Roherestown During last winter he
kept his house at above normal tenn
perature on a mixture of two-thirds
coal and one-third limestone. At times
he used half limestone and the results
were just as good. The stone is
crushed into nut size and mixed with
the coal as the latter is placed in the
furnace By mixing in the bin there
is danger of explosion from gas.
The method is especially commend
ed to farmers, because the lime re-
leased from the stone proves an ex-
cellent fertilizer.

France To Have Boys
And Girls Clubs

France is considering the adoption
of Uncle Sans methods of teaching
better farming and home making to-
boys and girls. Representatives from
the French High Commission, lately
in this country, made point of study
ing carefully the methods of the Fed
eral Department of Agriculture and
the State agriculture colleges in con-
Quoting boys and girls clubs. Much
OF the information thus collected has
been widely reprinted by the French
press. accompanied by editorial COM
ment expressing the view that, the
man and woman power of France
having been depleted or disorganized
by war service, France for some time
to come will be dependent in large
part upon its younger population for
its food supply and suggesting the
formation in France of nationwide
system OF boys and girls clubs pat
termed on those in America. 1t is ex-
pected that these clubs will grow
staple products-garden produce,
wool, farm grain and forage crops,
poultry and farm animals on farms
not devasted. the very soil of which
must first of all be put in condition.
They will stimulate production by
the young people of France through
organized contests not only in farm
ing but in home enterprises such as
bread baking, garment making, cook
ing, and home management

CROP
REPORTED
GOOD
Considering Weather Condi-
tions. Corn Yield 90 Blu. To
A. 4,290,000 Blu. Potatoes.

Kentucky's crops this season have
turned out fairly well in spite of per-
iods of severe drouth, shortage of
labor and other handicaps that beset
the farmers. The corn in many places
is much better than was expected,
altho badly damaged in many dis
tricts especially Western Kentucky.
Tobacco grew out wonderfully after
the late rains at the end of August
and first of September and fairly
good sized crop is in sight, with
quality yet to be determined. Pota-
toes suffered severely as did the
small acreage of hemp in the Blue
Grass counties. About per cent of
the 1917 corn crop in Kentucky is re-
poreted still in farmers hands while
for the United States as whole the
percentage is shade less than 4
per cent.
Corn is expected to yield about 26
bus. an acre average in Kentucky,
making a total of about 1O1, 400, 900
bus. compared to 12a, 1850, 900 bus. last
year. The United States corn crop
this year is about 2,754, s07 900 bus.
compared to 3.159, 494 900 bus. in 1917.
Tobacco will probably produce "a

crop this year is now estimated at
about 1.266, 63s.OOo ID. compared to
1876, Ash 900 ID, last year.
Irish potatoes in Kentucky this
season will yield only about $4,000
bus compared to 6,72O,OOO bus. last
year The United States potato crop
is now estimated at $50, 912 900 bus
compared to 442, $4,000 bus. in 1917
1t should be remembered the 1917
crop was an enormous one, so this
years crop is still really good one
Sweet potatoes in Kentucky this
year are about 1,o45,OOO bus. compar-
ed to 1,14O,OOO bus. last year. The
United States sweet potato crop is
about ss,132, 900 bus. compared to
s7,141,O 900 bus. in 1917.
Sorghum strip is in considerable
demand because of shortage of sugar
and sirups, but it is estimated only
about 2.S26,OOO gallons of strip is
being made in Kentucky this season
compared to 3,15O,OOO gallons in 1917.
The United States production of sor-

Sealed Orders.

Washington, Nov. 19.-Ships carry
ing 10000 tons of food for the popula-
tons of Northern France, Belgium
and Austria now are en- route to
Europe. They are proceeding under
sealed orders to Gibraltar and Bristol
channel ports and on arrival will a.
wait word from Food Administrator
Hoover as to their final destinations.
Those going to Gibraltar are expected
to proceed to Adriatic and Mediter-
ranean ports and the others to French
and Belgium ports.
One of the last acts of Mr.. Hoover
before sailing last Saturday for Eu-
rope was to appoint special shipping
committee, headed by Theodore
Whitmarsh of the food administra-
ton to cooperate with the shipping
board and the Commission for Relief
in Belgium in facilitating the ship
ment OF food to the demoralzed civil
ian populations in the countries de-
vastated by war.
Hoover To Direct Program.
Neither the number of ships in
volved in the present movement nor
the proportion that would be diverted
at Gibraltar for relief OF Southern Eu-
rope and the Near East could be
learned at the floor administration. 1t
was stated that final arrangements for
feeding the peoples freed from the
yoke of German miltarism is awaiting
the arrival of Mr.. Hoover in Europe
and the result of his survey of the
situation there.
The purpose of sending some of the
ships now going to Gibraltar and 9th
ers to the Bristol channel ports, it
was explained, was to have immedia-
tely available at convenient ports sup
plies to ship quickly where Mr.. Hoov-
err finds the need to be the most ur-

Fire Insurance Rates Increased.

Frankfort, KY, Nov. 20.-Fire in
surance rates in Kentucky increased
10 per cent in 1917, while the average
reduction in the rest OF the United
States was 10 per cent, it is the as
sertion in the report of the Commits
sioner c. +. Thomas, which also de-
clares that this discrimination was
made possible by the repeal OF the
Zorn law. under which the State
Rating Board had reduced fire in
surance rates $1.10 on the $1,000.
These statements will be incorpor-
ated in Mr.. Thomas annual report to
the State Auditor.
