47, 100000 Acres of Wheat
Should Be SoWn This Fall
For 1919 Liberty Harvest

A great liberty wheat harvest in
1919 is asked of American farmers in
national growing program issued by
Secretary Houston after full consid-
Grafton of the increasing needs for
this essential food at home and in the
allied nations.
Not less than 100000 acres of win
ter wheat is called for in this falls
sowing and Secretary Houston sug-
gests that approximately 47,5O0,OOO
acres could be soWn if conditions are
especially favorable. The larger acre
age, it was pointed out, would better
meet the estimated needs of the al
lied nations and the population at
home.
From the minimum acreage called
for, which is only about the average
of the five years 1897, it is estimated
6360O0,O00 bushels of winter wheat
might be expected; from the suggested
larger acreage, approximately 667 900
900 bushels should be harvested. These
production estimates are based upon
an average yield of 1871 bushels an
acre and an abandonment of 10 per
cent in the area sown on account of
winter kill.

nons of War.

The canine department in the French
army is a command in itself; it's four
footed recruits are enrolled almost
more carefully than real soldiers. They
have an official record, number, an
identity plate, and are never lost sight
of. The dogs already have their roll
of honor Several have been cited in
orders for having saved whole COM
panies by their sagacity; others have
enabled surprises to be brought off as
well as avoided. AS liaison agents
they are invaluable, while as ammuni-
ton carriers they are practically in
dispensable. While few of them can
never get used to shot and shell, the
majority quickly get as case-hardened
as old soldiers. A dog carrying mes
sage through. a terrific barrage fire has
been seen blown into the air, to come
down with thud that made it sense
less, to remain stunned a while, then
pick itself up, give itself good shake,
and resume it's journey.

It Worked Fine

The end of this month will see the
close of the daylight savings period
for the. coming year. The hands of
the clock will then be pushed back
ward an hour and we shall resume
work in accordance with standard
time. The experiment, however, has
been an unquestioned success. The
change was hardly noticeable in the
mornings but the long evenings have
afforded the opportunity both for
work and pleasure. In ghe industri-
al centers the change has been espec-
tally appreciated. The technical OBJ
jections which were raised when the
plan was first suggested have been
found of little consequence. The
benefits have far outweighed any dis
advantages. In fact the only criti-
cism which has arisen came from the
rural districts and even there the OBJ
jections were found to be of slight
consequence under actual working
conditions. The daylight saving plan
deserves to become a permanent fea-
ture of the yearly routine. 1t may
be especially beneficial during war
time but, it will be almost equally
advantageous in days of peace

A woman who was for many years
a housekeeper in the family of the
late Alfred B. Nobel, the Swedish
founder of the Nobel prizes, was leav-

to reward her services and asked what
she would like for a wedding gift,
saying that he would be glad to give
her whatever she asked. After con-

preached Mr. Nobel and said she had
decided what she wanted, but doubt
ed whether she would get it.

Vermont's Great Vitality

Little old Vermont which was ex-
pected by the government to register
36,316 men in the extended draft ac-
tually presented 40,887. Despite the
fact that Vermont has contributed
many minors as well as those above
the previous draft age to actual SER
vice in defense of the nation and
despite the fact that thousands more
have gone to other states to engage
in essential war work, the state shows
upmistakable signs of great vitality

FOOD CONTROL

Laura E. Richards of The Vigilantes
The doctors have been saying it
These forty years and more;
Been preaching and been praying it
Until our hearts were sore.
We ate too much, and we drank too
much;
In fact, the truth was fat,
The great American commonwealth
Was much--too-FAT.
Chorus
Then hip hoeray for the meatless
day,
The wheatless day, the sweetless day.
Wen fling our superfluous pounds
away,
And light and airy be;
Then give three cheers for the food
control.
Wen every greedy mood control;
So Johnny fill halfway up the bowl,
For that is enough for me.

How You Can Help

In more ways than one it has been
found that everybody can personally
contribute to the success Of American
arms. When you throw a piece of
tin foil away you are lot playing the
game. Drop it in box and let the
Red Cross have it. When you eat
a peach and throw the seed away
you are not playing the game. The
government needs all pits to increase
the quantity of charcoal in the manu-
facture of gas masks. When you
throw away cotton rags instead of
washing and making them do again
you are not playing the game. Cot

Warding off the Influenza

The doctors say the best way to
ward off an attack of Spanish infu-
enza is to take good care of ones
self, to eat wisely, to get good
nights sleep every night, and to ex-

ty good way to avoid any illness that
is avoidable. 1t also reads like a re-

Dear Folks at Home:
l received your letter last Monday
and am glad to hear that you are
all we'll and getting along all right.
This leaves me feeling fine, and busy
every day. We have been having fine
weather. over here where l am. but /
do not believe the kind of weather we
have been having would do around
home, for it has not rained to amount
to anything for l do not know when.
l suppose you are pretty busy around
home nowadays. l wish l was home
to help with the harvest and the rest
of the work. hope that l am back
next year by this time.
am getting the paper you had sent
to me; it sure is good to get to read
a paper from home. wish you would
save the county paper and send it to
me, if it wouldn't be too much bother.
1t must be a lot of trouble for the
people to get help to do their work,
with so many of the boys gone to the
army. l guess they will have to get
along without them. They get along
over here, and have had nearly four
years of it.
1t has been over three months since
we left the U. S. for over here. Time
seems to fly, for it does not seem
like July is nearly half gone. We had
a parade at Saint Nazaire the Fourth
Next Sunday is the French lndepen-
dence Day. 1 do not know if We will
have to parade again or not. Since
got out of the Infantry / am moi
very strong for so much walking.

received their letters yet, but vii
write as soon as l can.
We got paid a couple of weeks ago
and have been going out nights an
gotten behind in writing letters.
cannot think of much to write, so
guess l will close for this time.
