Mere Sugar and White Bread.

Not all Americans were privi-
legged to engage in the actual
fighting which has resulted in
complete victory for the United
States and all of its allies, but
practically every man. woman
ard child in this country has help
ed in the conservation of those
foodstuffs which were necessary
for the winning of the war.
There will be all the more rejoic-
ing, therefore, in learning that
the Food Administration has
found itpossible at this early date
to suspend the regulation requir-
ing householders and others to
purchase 20 per cent. of substi-
tutes with each purchase of wheat
flour. In other words white
bread, which is craved by so
many, may now be used in mod
Grafton. No limit as to amount
is fixed, but Mr.. Hoover's depart
ment still expects Americans to
be conservative in the use of flour.
At the same time the allotment
of sugar to families and Others
has been increased from three to
four pounds per month for each
person.
The announcement calls atten-
ton to the patriotic manner-gen-
orally speaking-in which the
people of the United States re-
sponded to the regulations of the
Food Administrator. To a very
great extent they were placed
upon their honor, and the result
justifies the methods employed by
Mr.. Hoover and his associates.
1t was fully realized that food
would win the war;" and the
results prove that the slogan was
a truthful one. Unity of purpose
has proven highly successful, as il
always must, and every person
who conscientiously performed 9
part in this great work can now
have the satisfaction of knowing
that it helped in bringing thu
struggle to a successful conclusion
1t is all very encouraging anC
makes it plain that the great
mass of Americans are willing tC
endure hardships and inconveni'
ence for the sake Of the Nation
which ensures them life, liberty
and the right to the pursuit OF
happiness.

Crop Conditions, October !.

From a report just issued by
L. II. While, statistician in the
State Department Of Agriculture
at Harrisburg tits stated, that the
average yield Of wheat per acre
is estimated at 1S 3 bushels and
the total production 26. O23, ga
bushels. The average yield last
year was 1911 bushels and the
total production 26, 3S6, 796. The
increase in acreage accounting
for the difference. The weather
last fall was adverse to the pro-
per termination and growth Of
the grain and at the breaking up
Of winter the condition Of the
wheat was poor, but from the
time Of the heavy snow April 10 |
the weather was propitious and
developed the plant and grain
splendidIy. This, together with
the favorable weather during
harvest and while the grain was
10 shock, accounts for the good
quality of the grain. The yield
is slightly better than an average
one but even at that it is an
agreeable surprise. Lancaster
county ranks first az usual, York
second. and Berks takes the third
place from Franklin this year.
Ii appears that the yield of rye
is l7.5 bushels per acre which is
lust an average crop. The total
production amounts to A 676, 800
bushels as against 4, ,573, 259 bush
els last year. Rye is more hardy
than wheat and will do we'll on
thinner ground tn an wheat.
Since this grain cannot be used
in the manufacture of alcoholic
| liuuor, and people have been
Obliged to learn more about its
food value during the war, it is
probable that more attention will
| be given to growing this cereal
for human consumption in the
future.
The oats crop is large one
and is estimated at 80 bushels
per acre as against ten.year av-
erage Of 81 5 bushels. The total
crop amounts to al. 1O5. 2l4 bush
els compared with 38,800, 769
bushels last year. The quality of
the oats is good. Reports indi-
cate that the oats will average
much better than the standard
80 pounds to the bushel.
The late rains improved the
corn. Present forecast is that
the weld of corn will approx
mate 80 per cent. of an average

HER SOLDIER BOV.

BY W. S. c.
When you bid him adieu,
Your soldier true,
How you tendery pressed his hand;
Just kiss and SMILE
He will be gone for awhile,
His love was for you and his land
They sent him so fair
TO fight "Over There"
Each evening you missed his embrace;
When to sumber he lay,
At the close of the day,
In his dream he would see your sweet face
For the boy that you gave
Some country to save
That the weak and oppressed have a chance;
With the red and the white
Its stars just as bright
He fought for them Somewhere in France"
And now as you 90,
Through your homes all agloW
Where the ove-fires of country burn bright;
Just whisper prayer,
For the boys Over there"
Who went through the midst Of the fight.
And now that it's Ger
The last of all war
To the one that has waited alone
You may weep with joy
AS you welcome your boy
Coming back to his dear old home.
