GARDEN DRIVE SOON,

II America does not grow food, the
world will go hungry Field crops and
gardens are essential. The patriot who
had garden last year should repeat
this season and million new gardens
should spring up in back yards, front
yards, parking strips, school grounds
and vacant lots. Now is the time to
make plans to get gardens planted ana
to help the farmer plant. protect and
harvest his crop.
There are dozens of vacant lots in
every large and small town when.
taken together would produce thou
sands of tons of staple foods and every
ton of food is surely equal to a ton Of
bombs or cannon shot to the nation
There is another fact that I would like
to mention here: There are thousands
OF tons of food destroyed throughout
this country by ground squirrels and
other rodents and every ton of food de-
stroyed Is as good as IA ton of bombs or
ton of shot and shell to the kaiser
What are you going to do about IT,
Can we not organize an efficient force
in every town, large or small to pro-
duce these tons of food and combat the
destroyers of food? AS suggestion
could we not organize little hoy scout
and camp fire girls. who with the CO.
operation of the older people, could so
licit the use of all desirable vacant lots
or other uncultivated patches for war
garden, plant them to staple food crops.
produce foods and either turn the food
over to the Red Cross or sell 1t AMI
turn the money over to the Red Cross
or food administration to feed and
clothe our soldiers or the soldiers of our
allies. Could we not teach these boys
that every destructive ground squire,
Is an ally of the kaiser and arm him
with poison in the early spring when
they first come out and later with traps
and % rifles with which to make war
on them? Thousands of them can be
killed with red poisoned wheat es-
pecially in the early spring. Perhaps
traps and guns would be more effective
later. This would probably prove coll
siderable sport for the boys. Can we
not organize to help win the war? Can
any of US conceive of anything else but
real world democracy as coming out Of
| this war If the allies win, and world
| autocracy if we lose? Let us work and
| fight for it. win the war, grow food.
AS an employee of the government,

would be more than glad If anything

FOOD DEALERS

Sale limit 40 pounds of wheat flour
persons requiring more than 40 pounds
at a time must secure permit from j.
G. Harrigan, Colville, county food ad
ministrator.
Substitutes for wheat flour are bar
ley, buckwheat, corn, feterita, hominy,
oats, oatmeal, potato flour, rice. bean
flour, (whole wheat, graham and rye
flour are not substitutes).
Any baker will be permitted to ad-
vertise his product as victory" bread

to what ingredients shall compose the
other 20 per cent, so long as they are
selected from the list recommended by.
the food administrat ton, which includes
corn flour and corn meal. barley flour,
oatmeal rice and rice flourI potato
flour. etc
Although the retail and wholesale
dealer in food commodities doing n
business of less than 100000 a year is
not licensed the food administration
can control his supply of foodstuffs.
Where deliberate evasion of the food
control act is shown the food admins
tration, by shutting off the dealers sup
ply, can effectively eliminate the unfair
and unpatriotic from the competitive
field of business.

Ing states increased their yield AZ per
cent. Furthermore, at the present time
the. government is using its influence
to nrohibit such exhorbitant prices as
wele in vogue last year when brokers
pra -tically acquired control of the crop
after it left the growers hands. The
food administration, according to an
other correspondent has set the price
on beans in an indirect manner and
growers are unwilling to let go of their
crop at Sc and 10c when last fall they
refused to sell at 15c. Many are in
clined to believe that there Is no mar
ket for beans because of present prices.
Such is not the case.
The varieties for which there Is the
best market in the northwest are the
large and small whites, although there
Is some demand for other varieties for
seed purposes Probably many of the
beans raised in Washington will have
to go to the middle or eastern states.
To be in acceptable shape for this mar
ket beans must be cleaned. and graded
according to size, and put in 100 pound
bags, net.
Myst of the larger firms are in a po-
sitioN to clean. polish and pick over by
machinery. and will do so at reasonable
rates to the growers. One of the trou-
bles in marketing Washington beans
Is that they come in competition with
the well graded, well known California
beans. Consequently, it Is necessary
that Washington beans be equally well
graded If they are to demand the same
price as the California product.
The office of Farm Markets has COM
piled list of bean buyers located in
the Pacific northwest. This list may
be had for the asking

Numerous inquiries have been made
concerning a market for beans in the
state of Washington. The following
facts have been ascertained from deal

of the United States increased 20 per

THE FOOD SLACkERS.

No hardship is entaied in the cur
tailment of wheat and meat products
urged by President Wilson and loyal
Americans will cheerfully observe the
restrictions recommended. After elm
mating all wheat products from diet on
two days of the week and putting
twenty per cent of wheat substitutes
in our bread on the other days, we still
will have and consume more wheat
than any other nation at war. As for
meat, the majority of people eat too
much of it for their own good.
The great trouble with voluntary OBJ
servation of food restrictions is that
the sacrifices of the thoughtful, un-
selfish and really patriotic element arc
largely nullified by the failure or the
stubborn. selfish, lukewarm or covertly
disloyal element that refuses to make
any personal sacrifice. Many who ig-
more wheatfess days and all other
recommendations for food conservation
profess intense loyalty, but their pro-
fessions are a lie. Loyalty does not
consist of lip service to the flag. You
may shout for old glory until you are
hoarse, but II you refuse to restrain
your own appetite in order that our
soldiers and our allies may be fed, You
are not patriot.
Sooner or later food restrictions Will
be made obligatory, and the sooner the
better. Rigid enforcement of the regu-
lations for food conservation will make
no difference to those who unselfish'y
observe them voluntarily, and the
selfish ones who refuse or neglect to
do their part ought to be compelled TO
toe the line in justice to their more pa
triotic neighbors. The slackers in food
conservation are entitled to no more
consideration than the slackers in nil
