New Dog Law Will Boost
Sheep Raising in State.

The sheep industry ip Penn.
sylvania il 10 receive an impetus
when the new Pennsy lvania Dog
Law goes into effect on January
15, according to State College
authorities. This law provides
that on or before that day each
year every owner OF a dog six
months old or more must obtain
q license from his county officials
for which he must pay 81 or 81
for male dogs end $2 or 81 for
females. A metal tag will ac-
company each license and must
be worn by the dog at all times.
Further provisions of the dog
law which greatly affects the
sheep industry are the clauses
governing night straying. These
specify that all dogs, between
sunset and sunrise, either oe
confined within au enclosure,
firmly secured by a collar which
will retain them on the premises
or under reasonable control
when engaged IN la wful hunting.
1t is unlawful for any person
to harbor any d G not having a
license. Any person may kill
any dog which he sees in the act
of pursuing, worrying or wound.
ing any livestock or attacking any
human beings No liability shall
attach to such hpersons. Any un.
licensed dog entering a field shall
constitute a private nuisance and
the owner of the field or tenant
or his agent may kill such dog
while 1t is 10 the field, without
liability for such killing.
1t shall be the duty of every
police officer to seize and detaln
any dog bearing the proper tag
and found running at large. The
owner shall be notified and pay a
reasonable expense incurred in
holding the dog. 1t shall be the
duty of every police officer to
kill every dog which does not
near a license tag, according to
the law.

Grading Seed Corn.

All seed corn should be grad
ed before the ears are shelled,
says the United States Depart.
ment of Agriculture, because
sheiled corn can not be easily
graded. The grading is done to
secure uniformity of size and
shape in each lot of kernels, so
that they will be dropped evenly
from the corn planter when it is
set for special lots of seed.
If the seed ears vary as to size
Of kernel, they should be sep.
arated into to or three grades,
according to the type of grain
they bear. These grains should
be shelled separately-alway by
hand and not by mechanical
sheller-and then tested In the
corn planter. After finding the
numbers on the planter plates
which drop the kernels most
uniformly, each lot should be
mum bered with corresponding
figures. All this should be done
when work Is slack IN the winter
and before the spring rush be-
gins.
Be sure there Is enough for
two years. paintings. You may
need il yourselflf the first plant
iug is drowned out; and there
never was a time when there was
not o demand for seed corn
known TO be good.

Philadelphia Jan. 3rd, Spurred
by the example Of the thriving
town of South Orange, New Jer-
sey, where a house-to-house can
vas by war stamp statesmen re-
suited in ninety-seven percent of
the population of 1000 buying one
or more stamps. the Pennsylva-
MIA branch of the National War
Saving Committee has doubled
its efforts to increase the num-
Der Of agencies in the state.
Director Robert X. Cassatt is
firmly Of the opinion that any
number of towns in Pennsylva-
mia can equal the record Of South
Orange. In that town q COM
mittee of patriotic hustlers was
organized and each member can
vassed twenty houses, the result
being that practically every per-
son bought either a $4.25 war
savings stamp or a 25-cent thrift
stamp.
Similar effort is necessary in
eastern Pennsylvania, Mr.. Cas-
satt declared today, if the quota
Of $l15, ,OOO.0 900 is to be sold.
Within a short while the police
force of Philadelphia will be uti-
lized in a house-to-house canvas

Order Fertilizer Early,
Advises College Expert

The fertilizer problem should
be given im mediate attention by
Pennsylvania farmers, advises b.
l.. Worthen. of the agronomy de-
partment of the Pennsylvania
State College.
There need be no hesitancy IN
ordering the normal amount of
fertlllzlng materials. Although
fertilizer prices are high they are
proportionally lower than those
OF farm produce. The rate of
application Of plant food should
be- increased rather than dimin-
lshed.
There is an opportunity tor
great saving In the more intelll-
gentpurchase of fertilizers. Acid
phosphate, bonemeal, or rock
phosphate can, in most cases, be
protitably substituted fer the
high priced mixed materials.
Farm manure should be conserv.
ed and applied judiclously in or
der to furnish costly nitrogen
and potash IN mixed goods.
Acid phosphate can be pur.
chased for about 500 a ton I. o. b.
Baltimore. 1t contains nearly
twice as much phosphate as the
ordinary mixed fertilizer. At
this price we cannot afford, either
from the standpoint of business
or patriotism, to keepdown yields
for want Of this plant food.
Fertilizer prices will not go
down in the near future. Freight
Is moving slowly at best Let US
benefit ourselves as we'll as ard
IN reducing additional freight
congestion In the spring by or
dering Fertilizers now.

More Hogs Shipped to Farms.

There has been a large increse
this fall IN the numb Der of hogs
shipped to farms and ranches for
breeding and feeding, instead of
being sold for slaughter, This
movement of "stockers and feed
ers" from the large markets OF
the country was four times times
as heavy during October this year
as during the same month last
year, and for Septem Der aud Oc-
tober com bined the movement
vas three times heavier this year
than last. These hogs that have
gone back to farms and ranches
instead Of beng slaughtered will,
OF course, increase the pig crop
next year. The movement is
considered q definite indication of
)me OF the results OF the cam
paigns of the Uulted States De
partment Of Agriculture, State
colleges, and other agencies,
waged IN all the leading hog pro-
duclng States with the objecs of
bringing about the savings of
breeding stock this winter.

The Plight Of Newspapers.

All over New England news
papers are marking up their SUBJ
scription price. Within a short
time three in New Hampshire
which were rated as good publica-
tions have gone out Of business.
The mounting cost Of everything
pertaining to a newspaper made
it impossible for them to do
business at a profit. The effect
of high prices is felt in every
other newspaper Office. In many
cases it seems impracticable to
increase the cost of subscriptions
and advertising to keep pace
with the costs, and the only thing
the publisher can do is to cut
corners a little sharper, and to
work harder than ever before.
In our own community, the
Mount Union Times, formerly a
dollar paper. advanced to S1.50
and is now marked up to $500 a
year, The Everett papers are
$500 unless paid strictly in ad-
vance. when the price is $1.5O.
In fact, no reasonable person ex-
poets to get a newspaper at the
same price as before the war, and
mighty few people kick about
the advanced price.

 The gratitude of the Belgian nation for the help America has extended to her during the war constitutes the strongest appeal for us to continue our work there. The m oment the German armies withdrew from her soil and she was established once more in her own seat of government the little na- tion's first thought was to express her gratitude to the commission for relief in Belgium for preserving the lives of millions of her citizens.
 Germany, on the other hand, need not figure in such a map for Ameri- cans because there is no present indi- cation that we shall be called on at all

to fake thought for the food needs Of Germany Germany probably can care for her own food problem If she IS given access to shipping and is enabled to distribute food to the cities with dense populations, which are the trouble centerS.
 England France, the Netherlands and Portugal, all of which have been maintained from American supplies, have sufficient food to meet immedi- ate needs, but their future presents serious difficulties. The same is true of Spain and the northern neutral countries-7Norway, Sweden and Den mark-Whose ports have been open and who have been able to draw to some degree upon foreign supplies.
 Most of Russia is already in the throes of famine, and 40,000,000 peo- pie there are beyond the possibility of help. Before another spring thou sands of them inevitably must die. This applies as well to Poland and practically throughout the Baltic re- gions, with conditions most serious in Finland.
 Bohemia, Serbia. Rumania and Montenegro have already reached the famine point and are suffering a heavy toll of death. The Armenian popula- ton is falling each week as hunger takes it's toll, and in Greece, Albania and Rumania so serious are the food shortages that famine is near. Al though starvation is not yet imminent. Italy, Switzerland, Bulgaria and Tur- key are in the throes of serious strin- gencieS.
 Tn order to fulfill Americas pledge in world relief We will have to export every ton of food which can be han dled through our ports. This means at the very least a minimum of 2O,0O0- 900 tons, compared with 6,000,0O0 tons pre-war exports and 11,82O, 900 tons exported last year, when we were bound by the ties of war to the Euro pean Allies.
 If we fail to tighten the black spots on the hunger map orif we allow any portions to become darker, the very peace for which we fought and bled will be threatened. Revolt and an 6rchy inevitably follow famine Should this happen we will see in other parts of Europe a repetition of the Russian debacle and our fight for world peace will have been in vain.
New Britain herald., 1918-12-21

A food map Of Europe today shoWs not a single country in which the fu- lure does not hold threat of serious difficulties and only a small part which is not rapidly approaching the famine point With the exception of the Ukraine only those countries which have maintained marine commerce have sufficient food supplies to meet actual needs until next harvest, and even in the Ukraine, with stores accu- mulated on the farms, there is famine in the large centers of population.
 Belgium and northern France, as we'll as Serbia, appear on the hunger map distinct from the rest of Europe because they stand in a different rela- tion from the other nations to the peO- pie of the United States. America has for four years maintained the small
