URGE SAVING IN BURLAP STOCK

Washington Twenty-one million
yards of burlap material now
growing scarce because of its in
creased use in trench warfare, food
shipment, and because of reduced i'm
portations-could be saved If fertil-
izer dealers would use 20O-pound bags
instead of the more common 100
pound bags instead of the more COM
mon 100-pound size. Pointing out
that the burlap situation is steadily
growing worse, the United States De-
partment of Agriculture makes this
suggestion to fertilizer haulers for
conserving the supply. The none
tary saving possible in handling the
5000, 900 tons of fertilizers, now ship
ped in smaller bags, in 2OO-pound bags
rather than in 1OO-pound sacks would
be approximately 100000, it is es-
timated.
Bags are not only scarce, but the
juts from which burlap bags are made
is imported from India, and the short
age of ships has materially interfered
with the supply. while the necessity of
furnishing bags for the Army for
trench use will further deplete those
available. The total amount of fer
tilizer used in the United States an
nually is about 100000 tons and of
this at least half is being shipped in
less than 2OO-pound bags. A shortage
of burlap would ultimately reflect on
such uses as for Fertilizers in view of
the priority need for food containers.

too, will spare a few moments in
which to express his delight at news
which came from the Northwest this
morning.
Mr.. Hill, as President of the Great
Northern, and Mr.. Elliott as President
of the Northern Pacific, gave much
time to the development of the agri-
cultural resources of that section.
Both predicted that when the land
was subdued to cultivation and when
farmers took advantage of the oppor-
tunities that opened to them there
this vast region would become one of
the greatest wheat-prOducing areas in
the world.
Just at this time favorable climatic
conditions, combined with the energy
of the farmers and the remarkable
campaign which leaders in the North
west have carried on with intent to in
crease food production, have resulted
in establishing conditions which now
Justify the statement that that great
district in the Northwest has never
had finer agricultural outlook, es-
pecially for its wheat harvest, than is
the case today.
Authoritative reports which reach
ed New York this morning from Min
neapolis state that the wheat condi-
ton presents most attractive APP
pearance all the way West, almost a
thousand miles, to the Rocky Noun
tains.
In these words the report stated
that grain has rooted firmly, the
plants are strong, with a fine color
and an even growth 1t is noticeable
that it is difficult to find break in
the rows made by the seed drills, and
this gives excellent promise of a very
large yield per acre.
II the other wheat belts of the
United States are able at this time to
furnish such excellent promise for a
wheat harvest as is that contained in
the information received from the
Northwest, then there seems to be
good reason for the hope that the har-
vest of this year will equal and pos
sibly exceed the phenomenal billion
bushel arvest of few years ago. OF
course, Mr.. Hoover has already been
informed respecting conditions in the
Northwest and in other wheat-grow-
ing belts of the United States.

W

Washington that Mr. Hoover Is per-
suaded that nothing but unfayorable
climatic conditions now stand In the
way Of great wheat harvest, and
perhaps record-breaking harvest.
The women of the Northwest are
contributing greatly in aid OF the
farmers. For the first time In the his
tory Of the Northwest women now
work side by size with men in war In,
dustries. They are becomingly and
conveniently dressed They show a
good deal Of skill in operating some
Of the higher machine tools. They
are taking the places made vacant In
banks through the calling to the serv-
ice young men who were bank en-
ployees.
In the report which was received
from the Northwest this morning II
was stated that one of the most inter-
esting and significant features asso-
ciated with the new conditions created
by the war is the large amount OF
work which was formerly done by
men which women are now carrying
on. They are undertaking their work
in q most serious and earnest way
They are, for the most part, making
good the loss of men who haveh been
called into service OF. who have gone
into training camps.
One paragraph in the report which
was received this morning is worth
publishing. II is this: "While the
Northwest probably will not be forced
to depend upon the labor of women to
the same extent that many Of the in
dustrial districts will, 1t is already
evident that in banks, in business
houses and upon the farms they are
now performing very valuable SER
vice which will increase in import
ance as the war progresses.
This employment ow none upon a
large scale throughout the Northwest
has, however, resulted in severe
shortage of help available for domes-
tic or household service. Women who
were formerly thus employed have to
a great extent taken the places of
their brothers or fathers or near kin
who have gone into the army. And in
many cases they are giving valuable
assistance in agricultural production.
The time of the year is too early
to Justify any predictions respecting
the corn crop of the Northwest, All
that can be said is that corn acreage
is satisfactory and will be but little
if any, short of the average acreage
Corn harvests in the Northwest. how
ever, have been disappointing for a
year or two, owing chiefly to late eli
matte conditions. But with continu-
ance of favorable weather until mid
August there Is now no doubt that
the Northwest is to contribute sever
al hundred million bushels of wheat
to the aggregate American harvest Of
wheat in 1918.

endorsed Doan's Kidney Pills. If your

Fears That Pastime Would Interfere

donment Of Game.

After n tenure of almost forty years
the great American game of football
will be abolished at Haverford college
this season. 1t was believed that the
pastime would materially interfere
with the students army training
course. Wednesdays and Saturdays,
both big days for football, will be de-
voted to military work. Interclass
games alone will struggle for existence.
An entirely different program has
been adopted by Swarthmore, which
was approached on the subject. Here
the schedule will be played out as
planned, unless government regula-
tions forbid such procedure, which Is
unlikely.
According to Dean Alexander of
Swarthmore. "the students need recre-
alton and rs football provides the nee
essary sport the institution will, If pos.
sible, continue competition"
The annual struggle with Haverford,
which must now be abandoned, came
as rather severe blow to the Garnet,
but failed in any way to alter It's de-
termination TO see 1t through. DR.. Roy
Mercer will be retained and the sport
run on the best basis possible.
