U.s~QgP'r. OF AGRICULTURE
~ ,4...,,.. III

Sow parsnip seed in drills from IL
inches to feet apart, depending on
the method of cultivation, about the
time of the last killing frost in spring.
The seed should be sown rather thick
ly and later thinned until the plants
are about inches apart in the rows.
The parsnip requires very rich soil for
its best development. The roots are
usually left in the ground during the
winter and dug as needed, but may be
harvested in the autumn, packed in
moist sand and stored in pits or root
cellars. Most people consider this
root improved by freezing, so as rule
1T is left in the ground as suggested.

"The obligation of every man, woman
and child out of uniform to help feed
himself will be greater in 1918 than in
1917. Therefore the home gardening
and canning activities of last year must
be repeated"
This is the message of the United
States Department of Agriculture to
every family. Those who cannot pro-
duce, can conserve and save food.
There must be no backsliding among
experienced gardeners; they must re-
peat their contribution of food. ABB
sence of novelty must not deter those
who tried gardening for the first time
in 1917 from capitalizing their increas-
ed knowledge and skill. Those with
experience must make every seed count
Ito get satisfactory returns from their
work with hoe, rake ind watering can.
There must be no Stacking off. Gar
dening is everybody's business, but in
1918 everyone must attend to that busi-
ness.
And now a word of caution. Don't
try to raise more than you can use.
And water Systematically all spring
and summer. A few square yards
well titled will yield more than half
acre allowed to run to weeds.
The department advises strongly
against effort by amateur gardeners to
produce truck crops for sale. Such en-
terprises commonly prove unwise, bur-
densome to all concerned, and not in
frequently financially Improbable.
Much precious seed and fertilizer
to say nothing of time and labor-were
wasted last year in such undertakings.
The governments home gardening spe-
cialists believe that best results will be
attained If each family attempts to
raise only enough vegetables to supply
its own table and to afford the surplus

IN 1918

Every family must help feed
itself.
Fresh vegetables must be
used to lessen home consumption
of staple foods needed by
troops and the allies.
More food must be canned In
homes than ever before.
There must be a war garden
In every back yard fertile and
sunny enough to grow vege-
tables.
Every seed planted must be
made to count in the food supply.

which its members can dry, can, or
store for later home consumption.
The gardener who has provided for
the immediate needs of his family and
its canning and drying requirements
therefore should devote attentions to
fall crops of root vegetables such as
potatoes, beets, late turnips, carrots
and parsnips, which can be stored cas-
lily for later use. 1t also would be well
to give attention to the production OF
mature lima or other beans which can
be shelled and kept in bags.
Help on Home Food Plot.
The garden specialists of the Depart

Paris, April 5-German troops num-

terrific attack against the French
along a front of nearly nine miles
from Grivesnes to north of the Ami
ens-Roye road. They were met with
a storm of fire from the French guns,
and although the assaults were repeat
ed time after time, they succeeded in
gaining only a small section of
ground. The French retained Girl
vesnes, but the Germans occupied the
villages of Mailly, Raineval and Mori-
sci. The announcement by the war
office of this new offensive also says
that by a powerful counter attack the
French made progress at this point.

necessary purposes.
"The intention Of the request is that
all mere pleasure riding be eliminated
but that necessary use Of the auto

"Just what is pleasure riding and
what is necessary use must be de-

Government Stops
Gold Bar Sales at
N. Y. Assay Office
Sudden Order Cuts Off En-
tire Supply From Dentists
as Well as Jewellers

Acting on orders received from Ray
I. Baker. director of the United States
Mint, the New York ASSAY Office
yesterday stopped the sale OF gold oars.
No formal statement as to when the
sale OF bars would pe resumed was
made.
The ban affects alike jewellers. gold
smiths, dentists, cncmists. physicians
and others to whom the use of refined
gold is csscntia. in their vorl, by com
pletely cutting off their source of sup
ply. Assay Office officials said the
order was q complete surprise to them.
Unoffically it was reported that re-
cent abnormally heavy purchases Of
gold bars at the Assay Office by jewel
ers and others have aroused the sus-
picion of the Treasury Department
that the metal was being boarded or
taken for export contrary to the regu-
lations.
In the absence of an official eXplana-
tion from Washington the local jewelry
Jewellers in the Maiden Lane district
expressed the opinion that the crde,'
was move toward curtailing the m"n-
ufacture of jewelry. \ llrge increase
in the manufacture Of cheap itWelly
has taken place since the war began
under stimulus of a heavy demand
for such stuff from the industrial CEN
tres where men are receiving unprece-
dentedly large wages. In The bullion
trade the opinion w; : expressed that
the government is un lcrtaking a regu-
lation of all dealings in gold for the
first time. Heretofore about the only
restriction upon gold has been the ban
upon exports.
According to information obtained in
responsible quarters. bill will be in
troduced in Congress next week. spon-
sored by the Treasury Department,
which will establish complete govern
ment control over the sale OF gold bars.
Whether the proposed legislation will
provide for rationing the gold that
will be allowed for use in arts and in
dustres is not known. Manufacturing
jewellers say that the cutting off Of
sales of gold by the Assay Office may
result in the complete paralysis of
their industry for the period of the
war unless the Treasury Department
modifies its order.
Dentists, chemists and other practl-
TONERS in special fields also are dc.
prived of their gold supply by the
order now in force. 1t is believed. how
ever, that they will be allowed enough
metal to take care of their normal
