ALLIED FOOD SHIPMENTS
REACH LARGE TOTAL

A general idea of the quantity of
food sent to European allies by the
United States from July /, 1914, to
January l, 1913, Is given by figures
just announced by the q. S. Food Ad.
ministration. In that period the Unit.
ed States has furnished complete year
ly rations for 57,1o0,933 people. IN
addition there was enough extra pro
tein to supply this portion of the diet
for %, 1914, ,570 additional men.
The total export of wheat and wheat
-four to the three principal allies is
equivalent TO about 384 100000 bushels
Pork exports for the 31s years amount
ed to almost 2,O00000,000 pounds. Ex
ports of fresh beef totaled 443, ,484, ,40C
pounds. The amount Of food exported
to Russia is negligible compared with
that sent to the western allies.

Great Wheat Stocks
Isolated.

It's the shortage In ships that
is putting the Allies and the
United States on wheat rations.
Great stocks of wheat are iso-
lated I'm India, and Australia. At
great sacrifice in ship space and
use the Allies are forced to Sc
cure some wheat from Argentina.
On January l, Australia had
stored 100,000,0O0 bushels of
wheat that was ready for ex.
port-but there were no ships.
Then came the new crop with
an exportable surplus of S0.000,-
600 bushels. Now Australia has
approximately 18O,O00,000 bush.
els waiting for ships.
India, at the same time, had
100000 bushels of wheat
stored for export. During April
50,000,000 bushels more out of
the new crop will be added to
the pile.
Argentina closed the last ship
ping season with 100000
bushels of wheat left in the
stock available for export. The
new crop win add 1S5,000,000 to
the left over.
It is not a problem that the
wheat does not exist in the
world-it is entirely q problem
of shipping, which has thrown on
America the obligation of diyid-
Ing our stock with the Allies.

The grand jury in its report to
Judge Walter S. Harlan on Tuesday
morning failed to make mention of
the cases wherein perjury was charg-
ed in connection with the alleged riot
! ing cases. 1t is to be taken from this
1 that these cases are to be ignored
This isn't at all surprising and is only
what has been predicted for them from
the very start, especially in labor
circles. William Bum" West wa:
given a sentence of three years in {
Federal prison because it was claimed
he swore falsely when he denied h
struck a non-union man. Even though
he were guilty, he did it to save him
self from prison, he had everything
to gam, where on the other hand W.
have cases where man and woman
swear falsely against their fellow
workers perhaps causing them to b,
sent to prison They had no persona
gain at stake whatever, other than t.
please their employers. Which il
the worst, the fellow who perjure:
himself to avoid going to prison OF
the man or woman who swear falsel!
against their fellows who are trying
to better their condition. The evi
dence in the eases wherein this mar
and woman testified was deemed 81
shallow that the court and attorney!
for the prosecution dismissed the de
PENDANTS. But as stated before it il
only what was expected and is no
unusual where labor is concerned.

While it may only be a political
move, if there is any truth in it the
exposure will be the best piece of
politics that ever entered Butler
County. We refer to the indictments
returned against Jacob Thesis, Super
intendent of the Butler County mfr
mary If he is guilty he should be
punished, as man who would steal
from pauper would steal from a
blind man. On the other hand if he
is not guilty those Who would drag
the name of an honest man in the
mire are deserving of the severest
punishment that can be meted out to
them. But while we are at it let's
give the whole affair thorough air
ing, it won't hurt anything. This is
a serious affair, the penitentiary is
staring man in the face and the
public should suspend judgement in
the case against Mr.. Thesis until
such time as he may need to explain
himself.

Of testing corn Is described in detail
In Farmers Bulletin 94S of the de-

consists Of a strip of cloth. preferably
bleached muslin, 10 inches wide and
from 8 to s feet long. The cloth
should be marked of into squared sec
tons and the squares all numbered.
The ears to be tested should also be
given corresponding numbers. Six or
more kernels should be selected from
different parts of each ear, and placed
in the proper section. When the test
er is filled, fold over each side SO that
the edges meet in the center, roll up
and soak the tester for few hours
In lukewarm water. Drain the excess
water OF. and place the dolls in a
warm place to terminate. They should
be covered with a wet cloth to keep
them moist, and In about five days
should be sufficiently well terminated
to show their fitness for seed.

EMPLOYMENT OF WOMEN

As a rule the employment of
women in farming operations
should not be considered If the
agricultural production can be
maintained by the employment
Of men and boys. The depart
ment Of agriculture does not
wish to urge the use of women
laborers on the farms unless the
man supply becomes exhausted.
The lively interest now being
shown by women in all parts Of
the country who are eager to
volunteer their services to help
the men and boys carry out the
nations food production program
this year has forced the atten-
ton Of federal officials to the
fact that needed work can be
done by these willing hands.
Women who can help farm wom-
en- with their work and who can
release men in the lighter in
dustries to do the heavier work
on the farms can give valuable
aid in the present labor emer-
gency.
