AMERICAN FARMER
HAS FED ALLIES
Producer and Consumer Work
Ing Together Has Achieved
Victory For Democracy.

The American people have achieved
a victory for democracy They have
proved they can govern themselves.
Through all sorts Of agencies the Unit
ed States Food Administration has en-
deavored to bring home to the nation
the vital necessity for sending wheat,
meat, fats and sugar "over there"
What has been the response?
Before the war we used to send
across about 85 million pounds Of pork
products every month. In 1915, before
we were really "in it," there was q
great demand, and so we began to send
more. We even got up to 121,OO0,O0O
pounds a month. But our herds of
hogs decreased in doing this, for we
were increasing our own consumption
to a great extent. That meant that
there had to be a big change some
where and so, in the latter half OF
1917, even with all our conservation.
we got up only to "A million pounds a
month.
Now comes the startling part of the
story Today, with practically the
same herd of hogs in relation to the
population that we had before the war.
we are exporting about 2S5 million
pounds every month that is more than
three times as much as in peace
times.
As for beef, before the war we used
TO send over 100000 pounds a
month, while today we are shipping
100000 pounds a month.
Perhaps wheat has been our big
gest problem. We have realized how
very important 1t is to give the Allies
wheat To them, the "staff Of life"
the "daily bread" Of their prayers is
the wheat loaf Our wheat crop Of
1917 was larger than the 1916 crop,
but it was more than one hundred and
fifty-fye million bushels less than the
average production for the years 1911
10 1915 If we had eaten as much as
we usually do, we would have had
only twenty million bushels to send
abroad
We realized then, and we are still
realizing, that we must not eat az
much as usual. We have sent one
hundred and twenty million bushels
and by September 1 we will have in
creased this total amount by many
millions.
Let the German militarists still ar
que that democracy is a failure"
They do not know the democracy of
America

LOOKING AHEAD"
IN WHEAT CRISIS
Food Administration viii Follow
Example Of Joseph and
Provide For Future.
Joseph interpreted the dream of
Pharaoh and said:

Joseph interpreted the dream of
Pharaoh and said:
Behold, there come seven years of
great plenty throughout all the land.
And there shall arise after
them seven years of famine;
'And let them gather all the food of
those good years that come and lay
up corn, and let them keep,
''And that food shall be for store
to the land against the seven years
of famine"
1t is no dream which Mr.. Heinz in
terprets when he warns the people of
Pennsylvania against waste and calls
upon them to conserve to the utmost
this years abundant crops. The pros
pect of a bumper wheat yield this
year, he says, is no reason for chang
ing the measures already in effect to
save wheat against future needs.
For many years past" he explains,
eve have never come to the beginning
of any harvest without a surplus stock
of wheat held over from the previous
year and unconsumed. This surplus
was the insurance against the future;
it was the saving factor in case of a
crop failure, which is apt to occur at
any time This year was an exception.
Our surplus from 1916 was small. The
1917 crop was very small. Now, Just
before the 1918 harvest, we find our
wheat bins swept clean, with the de-.
mands upon us greater than ever be-
fore.
I'VE must, therefore, follow the
time-honored and oft-tested precedent
established by Joseph and gather the
food of the good years that come, for
store against the years of famine. We
must accumulate a new surplus to take
the place of that which has been swept
away. 1t is more than prudence to.
do so: it is a vital necessity. This
years wheat crop will be large: next
years crop may be a failure-no one
can predict. But out of this years
supply it is entirely possible for US to
accumulate a surplus which would
avert disaster which a crop failure in
1919 would surely bring.
81 urge the people of Pennsylvania
to have this in mind. Eternal vigi-
lance is the price of safety Let US
exercise it in full measure in the mat
ter of our wheat supply"

SUGAR RULES
MORE STRINGENT
Destruction Of Ships Calls For
Increased Measures Of
Conservation.
SALES STRICTLY LIMITED
Merchants May Sell Only Two Pounds
at One Time in City and Five In
Country.

Country.
New and increased measures for
sugar saving have been announced by
Howard Heinz, Food Administrators
for Pennsylvania. His statement fol-
lows repeated warning to the public
from Mr.. Hoover regarding the serl-
BUSINESS of the situation. More rigid
conservation than ever has now been
forced upon the nation suddenly by
the recent sinking of ships by German
submarines off the American coast,
and the interruption of steady ship
mentS.
In view of this condition, therefore,
the previous ruling has been restored
regarding the purchase of sugar for
domestic purposes; namely, not more
than two pounds To one purchaser in
cities and towns and not to exceed
pounds in the rural districts. This
ruling does not affect the orders re-
garding canning requirements during
the canning season. If absolutely
necessary, the total quantity that can
be purchased by housewives may have
some limitation placed upon it,
Sugar for less essential purposes
viii undoubtedly be greatly reduced
and manufacturers of non-essentials
viii be curtailed in their use Of sugar
after the first OF July.
1t is the desire of Mr.. Heinz to
avoid, if possible, the issuance of sugar
rationing cards, but unless there is a
general curtailment in the table use
of sugar anG for pies and cakes,
sugar cards are not an imposslbility
in the near future.
Information was brought to the at
tention of the Administration within
the past few days, showing that in a
number of cafes and restaurants the
open sugar bowl on the table is still
retained Ample notice has now been
given of the illegality of this practice.
Investigators are gathering names and
evidences in such cases.

SAVE THE BAGS
Farmers Representative Issues an Ap
peal For New Economy.

Farmers Representative Issues an Ap-
peal For New Economy.
G. J. Tyson, representative of the
farmers In the U. S. Food Administra-
ton for Pennsylvania, urges upon the
attention of the agriculturalists of this
state the necessity for the greatest
care in the matter of their use of
bagging, especially burlap bags.
There is," he says, "an extreme
shortage in the supply of jute from
which burlap is made. This product
is imported from India and the short
age of ships has interfered materially
with the supply while the demands of
the army for these bags which are
used in trench warfare is further de-
pleting the supply.
FERTILIZER and other products used
by farmers are custOmarily shipped in
bags made of burlap"
Mr.. Tyson makes the practical sug-
gestion that the patriotic farmer will
have every pound of fertilizer shipped
in 200-pound bags, if possible. 1t is
estimated that the monetary saving
possible in the handling of the three
million tons of fertilizer now shipped
in smaller bags will amount to four
million dollars annually if the product,
were shipped in 200-pound bags.
AS an example of the difficulties.
arising from the shortage of jute it is.
noted that manufacturers of linOleum
who use just cloth in the packing of
their product are finding great diff
Guilty in obtaining sufficient supplies
and that they are experimenting with
cotton fabrics, in the hope of finding
a satisfactory substitute for jute.

Great Wheat Stocks
Isolated.

It's the shortage in ships that
is putting the Allies and the
United States on wheat rations.
Great stocks Of wheat are iso-
lated in India, and Australia. AT
great sacrifice in ship space and
use the Allies are forced to Sc
cure some wheat from Argentina.
On January l, Australia had
stored 1OO,0OO,OOO bushels of
wheat that was ready for ex-
port-but there were no ships.
Then came the new crop with
an exportable surplus Of 80,000,-
900 bushels. Now Australia has
approximately 18O,O0O,O0O bush
els waiting for ships.
India, at the same time, had
100000 bushels of wheat
stored for export. During April
100000 bushels more out Of
the new crop will be added to
the pile.
Argentina closed the last ship
ping season with 100000
bushels of wheat left in the
stock available for export. The
new crop will add 135,0O0,0O0 to
the left over.
1t is not a problem that the
wheat does not exist in the
world-it is entirely a problem
of shipping, which has thrown on
America the obligation of divid.
ing our stock with the Allies.

WHY YOU SHOULD
"HOOVERIZE"

Following the orders of the Food
Administration, in letter and in
spirit, is one of the greatest serv-
ices you can render TO your coun-
try. This program means inter
national food sharing.
Food will defeat Germany's in
tention to use starvation as a force
to compel submission of the Allies.
Plenty of food also makes possible
an aggressive Allied war policy.

ALLIED FOOD SHIPMENTS
REACH LARGE TOTAL.

A general idea Of the quantity of
food sent to European allies by the
United States from July l, 1914, to
January 1, 1918, is given by figures
just announced by the Q. S. Food Ad-
ministration. In that period the Unit
ed States has furnished complete year
ly ratiOns for 57,10O,933 people. In
addition there was enough extra pro-
tein to supply this portion of the diet
for p, 1914, $40 additional men.
The total export of wheat and wheat
flour to the three principal allies is
equivalent to about 384,OOOOOO bushels.
Pork exports for the 31a years amount
ed to almost 2,OOOOOO,OOO pounds. Ex-
ports of fresh beef totaled 443, 3,484, 400
pounds. The amount Of food exported
to Russia is negligible compared with
that sent to the western allies.

flowers, you may bring me thrift
stamps" said a Columbia woman to
her husband. Before her husband
came home the woman began think
ing how nice flowers were and how
she had always had them on her
birthdays. She started to the tele-
phone to tell her husband she had
changed her mind and wanted the
flowers.
Just then her baby cried and the
woman went to comfort it. While
comforting the baby, the woman
thought of the babies and mothers in
the war territory and felt for them
as only a mother can feel. She
wanted to do her part toward winning
the war so that in the future no
mother and no babe would be ex-
posed to the cruelty of war. Each
thrift stamp helps a little, and the
woman did not telephone her hus-
band.

WAR HITS THE COLLEGES
Suggested at Meeting i'm Chicago to
Reduce Term to 8 Years.

The college course is the latest
sacrifice to war, according to speak
ers at the meeting of the Association
of American Colleges in Chicago last
week. DR.. Demund Clark Sanford,
president of Clark College, announced
war program contingent upon the
establishment of universal military
training. The loss to each youth of
at least year from his ordinary pur-
suits, he said, would probably make
it necessary to reduce the length of
college courses to three years, with
out a corresponding reduction in the
curriculum.
DR.. John H. Main, president of
Grinnell College, declared, however,
that while the three-year course
might be a good thing for some stu
dents, youth really needed four
years in college to become thoroughly
saturated with culture.
Dr. Charles F. Thwing, president of
Western Reserve University, Cleve-
land, o., condemned the Germanistic
frame of mind and laid all blame at
the doors of the German educational
institutions.
"The German universities have
failed utterly to be responsive to the
ethical, the humane and the humans
tic applications of intellectual truth"
he said. 1.-THE German professors
have been voluntary or involuntary
liars. Culture has been sunk into
Kultur,' and the Germans thus victi-
mized have proved to be Huns"
Many of the educators attending
the meetings were of the opinion that
the loss of funds, due to material
reduction of students tuition fees,
and the diverting of donations to the
Red Cross and other similar organiza-
tions, threatens to cripple seriously
many of the country's leading educa-
tional institutions.
Many of the colleges have an
nounced a policy of rigid retrench-
ment. Some of them are even requir-
ing their girl students to care for
their own rooms and perform other
domestic duties which heretofore
have been done by servants. None of
the big schools thus far, however,
have gone to the length of curtailing
faculties or reducing the salaries of
the teaching force.

Daily Food Hint
Follow These Directions.

The Food Administration, aside
from those general directions. asks
everyone to maintain rigidly a mini
mum of at least:
One wheatless day each week and
one wheatless meal each day; the
wheatless day to be Wednesday. By
wheatless we mean to eat no wheat
products.
One meatless day each week, which
shall be Tuesday, and one meatless
meal each day. By meatless we mean
to eat no red meat-beef, pork, NUT
ton, veal, lamb; no preserved meat
beef, bacon, ham, or lard
One porkless day each week. in
addition 10 Tuesday, which shall be
Saturday. By porkless we mean no
fresh or salted pork, bacon, lard, or
ham.
Sugar-You can materially reduce
sugar by reducing the use of candy
and sweet drinks. We will make
every endeavor to see that the coun-
try is provided with a supply of
household sugar on the basis of 3
pounds of sugar for each person per
month. Do not consume more.

more, these students tell me that

more noble sentiment about the soul
being a mans own, and free, though
the body were in prison. But he was
writing poetry when he said that.
That is a sort of Theosophist atti-
tude, anyhow, because it hints at a

out into space. University students
are not equipped with star-wandering
