LOCAL SUGAR PR CE
FIXED At 9 II c.
Wholesalers Say City Does
Not Face Food
Shortage
SOME SHIPMENTS
ARE DELAYED
"The maximum price for when
retailers may sell granulated sugar
Is 9I2 cents per pound.
EDMUND MITCHELL,
Food Administrators for Delaware.

Inquiries made today among the
wholesalers and retailers regarding any
shortage OF food in the next sixty days
revealed the fact that there is food
enough to supply the needs OF all u
the housewives Of Wilmington do not
resort TO excessive purchases and hoard
ing
There has been some delay in receiV-
ing goods because Of freight cOhges--
ton, but there is enough here now, ana
more coming In each day to supply an
the demands Of this community. Wheth-
err there may be a temporary shortage
Will rest upon the housewives.
No store is sufficiently stocked anead
10 stand run. The dealer buys the
amount that he knows he can sell
normally, and there is plenty to supply
every food dealer in the city with all
that he normally desires. II the pun
lie will cooperate and buy what Is
needed from day today and week TO
week. there win be no shortage. But
the trouble comes when the public,
becoming panlc-stricken, rushes and
buys provisions for weeks and months
ahead. That is the great disadvantage
Of making public the fact that there IS
q shortage on any article.
The announcement by Food Admin
intrator Edmund Mitchell that adeal-
er in foOdstuffs may not charge a GUS
toner more than Q ~ cents per pound
is the first step taken towards guard
Ing the sale of foodstuffs publicly
There is no regulation prohibiting a
man from selling sugar at less than
9 ~ cents per pound.
Mr.. Mitchell said that any one who
charged more than the figure named
was likely TO be classed as a profiteer
He quoted the law against prohteer-
ing and referred to the penalties
a man may lose his license, or his
supplies may be rent of which means
putting him out Of business; or he may
be fined or imprisoned, said the adj
minislrator.

THE BoLsHEvrK PEACE.

TRHEREs nothing very remarkable in Trotzkys will
Il ingness to make peace Germanys terms. Behind

Moreover there's nothing volcanic in Germanys peace

and s5OOOOOOOO OF indemnity that Russia cannot possibly
raise for Germanys in this war; and, II The allies

In fact declaration OF Germsnys peace terms with

Every little bit that Germany accomplishes adds
little more to the conviction that the German auocrooy
Is out for World-conquest
The renewed invasion OF Russia by the Huns is merely
another chapter in confirmation Of the worst that has
been written about them.

cred an address to the assembly, on

Judge Gray dwelt sometime on the
general war situation and the causes
responsible for the present world cat
astrophe before taking up the subject
of The life Of Washington.
''Woe be 10 him who said right Is
wrong and wrong is right was the
text Judge Gray took for the moral
backing OF the address and character
lied the Kaiser as the chief malefactor
whose dream Of 1he world domination
is at the root of the world evil. 1t
was the fatal philosophy Of world
domination as taught in the university
through the doctrine Of superiority
preached from the pulpit as the divine
right Of kings said the speaker that
prepared the way for The onslaught or
The German army on the peaceful ma
tions Of western Europe Judge GRAY
then continued to outline the alleged
reasons for Gormany's entrance into
the war.
During the services, as well as Judge
Grays address, The Boy Scout Troop

BAN HIGH SALARIES

BY the United Press.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 23.-NO more
high salaPied railroad officers will be
created so long as the nation retains
control OF the railroads
Director General McAdoo's first step
toward the curtailment OF operating
expenses came today when he put the
ban on future big salaries.
AS the forerunner Of a sweeping cut
In salary checks the director general
has forbidden the filling OF vacancies
In offices Of grade higher than gen
eral manager without his approval.
The new order gives regional direc-
tors control of all salaries between So
900 and $4,000 annually Monthly re-
ports embracing the number Of such
employees, Increases in salaries and the
appointments made or pending, are re-
quired Of all rail lines.
Division officers as well as the gen.
eral operating heads are affected by the
ruling. Where the salaries are more
than $4,000 a year, monthly reports
will be made to the director general.
His rulings with reference to the dlvi-
sion Officers, however, will be govern
ed entirely by the recommendations Of

SHORT SUMMER COURSES
Winter Meeting of Farmers at A. & N.
Called Off.

The Farmers Winter Short Course
at Oklahoma A. d NJ. College at Still
water is a thing of the past. In its
place will be the Farmers Summer
Short Course, to be held, probably, in
July, at the time Of the midsummer
meeting of county agents.
The change Vas made by the State
Board of Agriculture, which Is board
of regents for the college, on the the
ory that there would be more interest
in summer meeting and more oppor-
tunity for the visitors to get real in
formation. BY holding the meeting in
midsummer, It is believed, the work
Of the Agricultural Experiment Sta
tion will be better presented. The
visitors will be able to see farm crop
experiments under way and to note
the effects of different methods OF soil
preparation, cultivation, etc.
The county agents will hold their
winter meeting at Saltwater as usual
in January. The dates are from De-
cember 81 to January 5. Any farmers
that desire to accompany their coun-
ty agents on a visit to the college may
attend this session The big session,
however has been postponed until
midsummer. 1t is hoped to have sew
eral hundred farmers at Saltwater
at that time.

WILL LIST SEED GROWERS
EXTENSION DIVISION TO
SUPPLY NAMES.
County Agents Working On Plan To
Prevent Seed Shortage In
Spring.

Reports from over the state indicate
that in some sections, at least, Okla
homa has not profted sufficiently
from last years experience when there
was serious seed shortage in the
spring.
The Extension Division of OklahO-
ma A. 4 NJ College, working in CO.
operation with the Seed Growers As
sociation, is trying to compile lists OF
seed producers who will have seed of
good quality for sale this winter and
spring. Many calls for seeds have
come into Oklahoma from parts OF
Kansas and Texas and from limited
portions OF Oklahoma there is pres
ent demand.
There promises TO be a considerable
demand for good seed corn, although
the big crop in northern states may
tend to hold the prices down lower
than would otherwise be the case The
advantages in buying seed as near
home as possible are well known. The
amount of good seed OF the kair crops
may not be as plentiful next spring as
many persons imagine. There never
was time, perhaps, when the seed
situation demanded more intelligent
attention. A great deal Of the seed
produced the past year is of poor quail
ity because of unseasonal conditions
at harvest time or preceding harvest
The same is true Of seed corn in some
of the extreme northern states where
early frosts worked damage.
Any farmer in Oklahoma who has
seed of good quality in surplus quaint
ties should notify his county agent
The county agent will be in position
to help find a purchaser for a surplus
In the same way the farmer who ex
poets to need seeds for spring planting
should communicate his needs to the
county agent. BY intelligent handling
the seed situation should work ou'
satisfactorily.

MEASURING CORN IN CRIB
system Inaccurate Because Smelling
Per Cent Varies.

There are several different methods
cf estimating the amount of corn in
wagon box or crib, says Prof. M. A.
Beeson Of Oklahoma A. 4 M. college,
but none Of them are accurate.
The rule most generally practiced,
according to Prof. Beeson, is to multi
ply length by breadth by height, IN
inches, and divide the result by 2,74S'
rwo-thirds Of the result will be ap-
proximately the number of bushels OF
,helled corn. This, however, would
aot work with unshucked corn. About
thirty bushels with the shucks on
would equal twenty-five without the
Ihucks.
The shelling percent of corn is var
able. saws Prof. Beeson. There may
be a difference of as much as twenty
Der cent in the shelling qualities OF dil-
,erent samples of corn This renders
INV measurement of corn on the ear
decidedly inaccurate as basis for hg-
aring on the amount Of shelled corn
