Delivery to Farmers of Wheat Flou
Without Substitutes.

1t has long been the custom for farm
ers bringing in their own wheat to re-
ceve in exchange their annual supply
of -four. Nothing in the present iooc
Administration regulation prevents
the continuation CT this custom, eNcep,
that the general wheat conservation
rules require wheat flour to be delivered
only with one pound of substitutes for
each four bounds Of wheat -four.
Such substitutes cannot always be
handled by small country mills, and
years supply of some of the substitutes
is likely to spoil. Under these circum-
stances it has been considered desirable
where farmers were willing to pledge
strict compliance with the program
of the Food Administration to permit
the delivery of flour to them without
substitutes in exchange for their own
wheat.
1t should be pointed out that farmers
who are unwilling to sign these pledges
NAV still obtain wheat flour on the
same basis as other individuals by pur-
chasing substitutes.
Millers in Maryland are therefore
authorized upon the signing of the
pledge to deliver wheat -four to farmers
without substitutes. The amount of
wheat -four so delivered must not ex-
coed the amount which can be actually
extracted from the farmers own
wheat.

Frederick County Plans to EnfOrc C
Dog Law.

| justices of the peace from every dis
! trict in Frederick county were recently
summoned to the Office of the county
commissioners. when each official was
given book containing the names OF
owners of dogs in their respective dis
tricts who have taken out licenses III
compliance with the Statewide dog
law. The officials were instructed to
cause the arrest of every cWner OF
dog or dogs whose name is not recorded
as having complied with the law.
This step was taken because num-
Der of deg owners, who have tlken out
licenses, requested that everyone be
made to comply with he law. Il some
cases pei sons who have taken out
licenses have asked either fer the re-
turn o. their license fee or for a move
TO maxi everyone heed the law. A
duplicate set of books for every district
in the county has been made containing
the names of those who have taken
out license and one Of th-se b,"ks has
been placed in the hands of each dis
trict justice of the peace and the other
will be kept by the commissioners. In
districts where there is no magistrate
an authorized person will be given the
books and instructed to see that the law
is carried into effect.
1t is understood that deg owners who
have not taken out licenses will be
arrested and fined. Those who have
not complied with the1aw will not be
allowed to escape the penalty by mere
ly promising to take out license. 1t
is believed that there are many dog
owners who have paid no attention to
the fact.
We think this plan is worth uniting
in Prince Georges County.

s'More Sheep" Means More Sheep in
Frederick County.

In Frederick county, where one Of
the most wide-awake local branches OF
the State Sheep Growers Association
exists. means has been found for sup
plying every farmer in the county with
the number of sheep desired, whether
it be one or ten or even more.
Two carloads have been purchased
to date, the animals coming mostly
from the mountainous sections Of Vir-
ginia. The first load was auctioned off
and brought 1925 more per head than
the cost. This was intended to be di-
vided among the members of the as
ISOLATION, but due to the fact that the
second car lot sold for rs cents per head
below the cost, the profit on the first
lot will be used to make up the deficit
on the second.
The fact that the second lot sold be-
! low cost is not an indication that the
/ scheme is a failure, but is an index to
the demand for sheep, and it indicates,
| furthermore, that Frederick county
| farmers are stocked up to their limits.
The Sheep Growers Association ad,
vanced the money for payment on the
sheep in both instances, and the sals
was under the auspices of this organ.
cation 1t has proved to be an excel
ent method of bringing the desired
stock luto community, and it is nov
I'D to other local branches to follow The
example for the importation or buying
from other sections some better bloot
and individuals for their herds. Incl
dentally, it may be mentioned that thi
same course can be pursued by the hos
growers associations, or any other as
ISOLATION formed for the advancement
of the animals represented.

CREDIT DUE TO WOMEN.
Meat and Fat Shipments Increased by
s44,6oo,ooo Pounds.

Conservation measures applied Dy
the American people enabled the Unit
ed States to ship to the Allied peoples
and to our own forces overseas AL
100000 bushels of wheat and S44, 6OO,-
900 pounds of meat during the past
year, valued in all at $1,400,OOO,O 600.
This was accomplished in the face OF
serious food shortage in this country,
bespeaking the wholeheartedness and
patriotism with which the American
people have met the food crisis abroad.
Food Administrator Hoover in a let
ter to President Wilson, explains how
the situation was met. The voluntary
conservation program fostered by the
Food Administration enabled the piling
up of the millions of bushels OF wheat
during 1918 and the shipment of
meat during 1917-18.
The total value of all food ship
ments to Allied destinations amounted
to 81 ,400,000,OOO, all this food being
bought through or in collaboration
with the Food Administration. These
figures are all based on official reports
and represent food exports for the
harvest year that closed June 30, 1918.
The shipments of meats and fats
(ncluding meat products, dairy prod
ucts, vegetable oils, etc., to Allied des-
tinations were as follows:
