anxious that every person will do
everything i'm his power to help
make this agricultural census a
success. The school clerks can be
of great assistance to teachers by
going to the school houses with
their assessment lists and parents
also can greatly help by making
out their own blanks for the teach
er. This agricultural census is be-
ing made at the request of the fed
eral government and has the ap-
proval of the Governor and other

INTERNED SHIPS
ON HIGH SEAS
American Efficiency Demon
Strated

Acting on orders from the Ger
man Government, the officers and
crews of the German ships intern
ed in American waters inflicted
such damage upon the machinery
of the vessels as they deemed abb
solutely certain to keep the ships
out of service for two years. By
that time the Germans thought the
war would be over.
But American efficiency and
American invention effected the
necessary repairs in from six to
eight months and at a cost of
S273,000; the Germans had figured
the cost of repairs at S2,600,000
and the necessary time "a months.
All of these ships, except one
that has been sunk, are now bear
ing American commerce on the
seas or transporting American
soldiers to Europe. The Navy de-
partment figures that the use of
these ships between the time the
ships were actually repaired and
the time the Germans estimated
they could be repaired will be
worth $240,000,000 to the Govern
ment at the present rate of tom
mage.
The Vaterland, one of these in
termed ships and the largest ship
afoat, is now in the United States
service renamed the Leviathan.
Americans are able to operate this
ship at higher rate Of speed than
the Germans were able to do and
do this with 200 tons of coal less
day. The Leviathan has one
American captain in place of five
German captains of the Vaterland,
and one American chief engineer
instead of chief engineer and five
assistants that German efficiency
required.

AMERICAN Savings WILL
MEASURE WHEAT EXPORTS

1--WE have already exported the
whole of the surplus Of the 1917 wheat
harvest, over and above the normal de.
mands of our own population. 1t is
necessary, therefore, for the food adj
ADMINISTRATION to restrict export of wheat
50 as to retain in the United States
sufficient supplies to carry our own
people until the next harvest.
wherefore all exports of wheat
from now forward are limited entirly
to volume of saving made by the Amer
lean people in their consumption of
wheat and wheat products.
"We continued wheat shipments for
December as far as our situation al
lowed, but even with all the conserva-
ton made we were still unable to load
several hundred thousand tons of food
stuffs urgently required by the allied
nations during the month of December
alone"

War BREAD COSTLY TO
BRITISH government

Every year the British government
pays S20O,00O,0OO toward the cost Of
that nations war bread That is the
principal reason why English bread
prices are lower today to the consumer
than in America incidentally the
British bread is much poorer than the
American.
Great Britain has taken over all
home grown grain, bought at an arbi-
trary price, and all imported wheat
bought in markets of the world at pre-
vailing prices. This is turned over to
the mills by the government at price
that allows the adulterated war bread
loaf of four pounds to sell at IS cents.
The two pound loaf costs 9 cents, and
the one pound loaf sells for ) cents.
IN milling, however, IA per cent.
more. flour is extracted from the wheat
than in America. And there is a com
pulsory aduteration of 20 per cent.
and an allowable aduIteration of 80
per cent.
Compared with American bread, the
British product is only about 65 per
cent. pure at its best.
In France, under conditions some
what similar, but with a larger eXtrar-
ton, the four pound loaf sells for 1G
cents

It's own labor demand as far as
possible from the local supply.
General A. R. Benson, president
OF the State Board of Agriculture,
stated that landlords in different
parts OF the State are re-adiusting
tnelr relations to the tenant, some
OF them by purchasing more than
one-half of the fertilizers and seed
and others giving more than the
usual share of the crops. This is
done because the tenant is reuuir-
ed to furnish all the labor neces-
sary in producing the crops and
wages are much higher this year
than ever before, thus bringing an
unusual burden upon the tenant,
while no additional cost has been
placed on the land owner, except
the increased cost of seeds and
fertilizers.
AS patriotic duty it was
thought that landlords everywhere
would be willing to readjust these
matters so that the tenant shall
receive fair share of the results
of his labor on the farm.
Mr.. Warner, Mr.. Benkhart, Mr..
Armstrong and Mr.. Pence and the
three members of the State Board
of Agriculture organized as per-
manent committee, and will hold
regular meetings and will eventu-

Which Shall 1t Be?

In 1902 blight destroyed 5O,O00,-
600 bushels Of potatoes in New
York State alone. Last year near
ly one half Of Names crop was
lost by the ravages of disease.
What will this year bring forth :?
No one knows, and for that reason
alone every potato grower must
take steps to prevent the loss.
Years ago, when it cost very lit
tie to grow an acre Of potatoes,
there was little incentive to spray.
Men preferred to take a chance
to gamble on the prospect. But no
potato grower can do that now. He
invests too much money in the
seed, fertilizer, and labor neces-
sary to produce crop, TO take any
chance on loss which can be pre-
vented. And all the potato trou-
bles, blights, flea and Colorado
beetles, can be prevented. Thor
ough and continued spraying will
do it.
You insure your investment in
property against fire. Why not in
sure your investment in potatoes
against disease? Your are taking
bigger change each year with the
disease than you are with fire.
Which shall it be? A fine CROP
of sound tubers, or a reeking mass
of rotting vines with no prospect
but what might have BEEN"

F ARM LABOR TO
BE SUPPLIED
Campaign For Volunteer
Workers To Be
Organized

4 .onference of unusual import
...a 10 the farmers of Delaware
y.- held on Friday afternoon in
III. uarIors Of Governor Townsend.
a. the State House, at which the
& vernon; Charles Warner, repre-
.c-..ng the United States Public
Service Reserve; A. C. Benkhart,
rarresenting the United States
Employment Service; J. N. Arm
strong. representing the United
States Boys Working Reserve; M.
Q. Pence, representing the Agri-
cultural Extension Department of
Delaware College, and members of
the State Board of Agriculture,
were present. The United States
Government through it's represen-
tatives of the above named branch
es of employment service in this
State, assures the farmers of Della
ware that labor will be supplied to
them this year even through the
busy harvest season.
The purpose of the meeting was
to coordinate all of the forces of
the Federal Government and of the
State in supplying the demand for
farm labor. Mr.. Benkhart is en-
gagged in finding available labor in
any part Of the United States and
Of turning it over wherever there
is a demand for it in Delaware.
Mr.. Warner is charged with en-
rolling all available labor within
the State for the periods when it
is most needed. For example, if
manufacturing establishments can
spare any of their men at any time
fer a week or more or through any
vacation period, these men are ask
ed to enroll for service on the farm
during that period or for so much
Of t as they are willing to give to
farm labor. Mr.. Armstrong is
charged with enrolling boys be-
tween the ages of 16 and "a years,
especially appealing to the schools
and colleges of the State.
The extension department of
Delaware College has made a sur
vey Of the State to determine how
much labor will be required on the
farms during the season, and at
what times there will be the great
e>t demands for such labor. The
problem is to see that all who are
enrolled from any of the sources
named are brought into touch with
the farmers who are needing help
a a time that they need it. The
opinion Of all present was that
through all these sources the need
ed supply of farm labor can be
furnished. The United States De-
Tar'ment of Labor has repeatedly
stated that there is man for
every job, and that if these men
can he found and placed in contact
with the job all the necessary work
can be done in the essential in
dusuies an don the farm. The
Shp-yards, with the exception of
few skilled laborers, are now amp
" supplied with all the men to
speed up to the utmost limit.
\ campaign will be made to
secure volunteers of Delaware men
living in towns to go out to the
farm for one or more days in the
week. This will be presented to
them as a patriotic duty. Every
community is asked to take care of

Wheat-corn bread is more nutritious
than bread baked with wheat flour
alone Thousands of American fam
lilies today are using this mixed flour
bread, and in 50 doing are enabling
America to provide more wheat flour
for the allies. Here's tested recipe
for this bread: Take one and half
cups of milk, water or a mixture of
the two; one-half cake compressed
yeast, one and half teaspoons salt,
one tablespoon sugar, one tablespoon
of fat if desired, one cup cOrnmeal
and two cups wheat -four.
Put one and half cups of water,
the cornmeal, salt, sugar and fat Gf
used) into a double boiler and cook
twenty minutes. The water is suffi-
cient only to soften the meal little.
Allow the meal to cool to about the
Temperature of the room and add the
flour and yeast mixed with the rest
of the water. Knead thoroughly,
make into loaf, place in pan of stand
ard size, allow to rise until nearly
fills the pan and bake As or 30 min
utes. 1t is hardly practicable to use
a greater percentage of cornmeal than
this even in emergencies, for bread 50
made differs very little from baked
mush. Less cornmeal can be used
and in sucn case the general meth
cd given above may be followed.
II Is possible to make a yeast raised
corn bread without first cooking the
cornmeal. In this case not more than
one cupful of meal should be used to
four cupfuls of -four. In other re-
snects the bread is mixed and baked
as ir the above recipe.
