tTation. Issued AS Of
April Is.
BY FOOD ADMINISTRATOR.
Statement Made By Mr.. Edwin
G. Baetjer, Food Administra-
tor For Maryland.
Explains Prices.

Edwin G. Baetjer, Federal Food Ad-
ministrator for Maryland, makes the
following statement:
The fair price list sent out TO the
County Administrators and the coun-
" press from Baltimore City, is based
each week upon the wholesale prices
charged in Baltimore City and the
prices accepted by the retail dealers
of Baltimore City as showing a fair
margin OF profit The Wholesale
prices are reached by a series of meet
ings held with representative whole
salers on Thursday and Friday of each
week in the Food Administration
Offices, and these meetings are fol-
lowed by a meeting of representative
retailers who pass upon the retail
prices. In applying these prices to
county stores, the fact should be kept
in mind that the county dealer who
purchases supplies from Baltimore
City must add TO the price which is
charged in Baltimore a transportation
cost, in many instances. TO his place
of business. including freight and, in
some non-railrOad or wharf points
truck or team transportation. Where
these differences exist, they must be
recognized in the retail price, and the
dealer allowed to add this cost to the
price paid by him in Baltimore City.

even after peace returns. An especial
ly strong demand will be made on this
country for meats and live stock. But
the record of the farmers last year,
made In the face Of obstacles, is
ground for confidence on their part
that, with equal application and Or
ganization, they can overcome the diff
ficulties this year.
The Department of Agriculture has
given careful consideration not only
to the needs, but to the lines along
which effort should be put forth. this
spring. Sit has had the benefit Of ad-
vice from agricultural leaders
throughout the country. The follow
ing is statement Of conclusions con-
corning the agricultural situation and
the planting needs. 1t is offered as a
recommendation for those engaged in
crop and animal production, especial
ly for the many farmers who are in a
position to readjust their agricultural
program to accord with the national
necessities.
The situation is such that chief en-
phasis should be given to the produc-
ton of the great staple food products,
with especial stress on wheat and
hogs, the leading war foods. 1t is be-
lieved that the necessary production
can be secured through the use of the
bestknown farm methods. but 1t may
be necessary to small extent to
sacrifice certain of the less. important
farm crops temporarily in the inter-
est Of others which rank highest in
Importance as food for man. Above
all, sound farm practice, including
well-established crop rotations with
legumes, should not be interferred
with. This is in the interest chiefly
of crops in future years.

FROST LINE MOVES NORTH IN
SPRING-WHEN TO PLANT
GARDEN

Sarliness is much desired by most
gardeners. 1t has been found that the
earliest safe dates for planting gar
den crops can be determined from the
average date of the last killing frost
in spring. The accompanying map
divides the eastern portion of the
United States into zones with diff
ference of about two weeks in the
average date of the last killing frost
between zones. These dates, while a
guide in planting, cannot be depend
ed upon as absolutely hafe, as in some
years very late frosts may occur.
They do indicate when the chances
are in favor of no more killing frosts
Make Sure Of Frost Line
There is, moreover, difference of
several days within the zones them
selves, owing to differences In eleva-
ton and in latitude, and proximity to
bodies of water. In case where the
inexperienced gardener is in doubt, he
should consult one more experienced,
or should aske advice from the near
est Weather Bureau station or from
the U. s. Department Of Agriculture.
Garden crops may be divided into
four groups. the first including those
crops that may be planted some two
weeks before the last killing frost in
spring, or as soon as the ground is
in condition.
Group 1 includes early cabbage
plants from the hotbed or window
box, radishes, collards, onion sets,
early smooth peas, kale, early pota-
toes, turnips and mustard
Group 2 includes those crops that
may be planted about the date Of the
last killing frost. Beets, parsnips,
carrots, lettuce, satisfy, spinach,
wrinkled peas, caulifower plants, eel
cry seed, onion seed, parsley, sweet
corn and Chinese cabbage fall in this
classification.
Group 3, including snap beans,
okra, and tomato plants, should be
planted about two weeks after the
last killing frost in spring.
Group including those plants that
can not be planted until the ground
Is we'll warmed up. This is about a
month after the last hard frosts. Lima
beans, pepper plants, eggplant, Gu
cumbers, melons, squash, and sweet
potatoes are included in this group.
Exceptions in South
In the southern portion of the coun-
try many vegetables such as cabbage,
kale, spinach, etc, may be planted
in the fall. For this reason the
groupings given will not apply in the

PRESENT AGRICULTURAL SITUA.
TION AND PLANTING
NEEDS

NOTWITHSTANDING an increased pro-
duction of staple crops in the United
States in 1917, there is need more
food. Taking into account our own
needs of the nations associated with
us in this war, and the needs Of
friendly neutral nations, our best eff
forts will be required to provide
enough food in 1918.
The demand for larger quantities
Of food, though due partly to the con-
stantly increasing population Of this
country, is due chiefly to the war.
There is necessity of greatly increas-
ing food exports to the Allies.
The farmers of the United States
made generous and patriotic re-
Spouse to the appeals for increased
production in 1917. In spite of the
apprehension which existed when the
United States entered the war as to
the possibility of increasing, or even
of maintaining, agricultural produc-
ton, they planted the largest acreage
in the history of the country, pro-
duced and harvested record crops Of
most products except wheat, and sue
ceeded in increasing the number of
live stock, including not only work
animals, but milk and meat animals
as well. Weather conditions during
the year caused two serious setbacks
The winter wheat crop Of year ago
suffered severely because Of unfavor-
able weather, with the result that last
spring the abandonment of the winter
wheat acreage was the largest ever
known in the country-about 12,000,-
900 acres.s The corn crop also suf-
fered an Unprecedented loss because
of weather conditions throughout the
corn belt which resulted in late plant
ing, slow growth, and damage by
early frosts.
The achievements of the farmers
and live stock men last year furnish
cause for congratluation and encour
agement, but not for complacency. or
let-up this year in efforts to better the
production record and to conserve
the food. The necessity of again Sc
curing large yields from the farms
and ranges this year already has been
strikingly emphasized by the Presi-
dent In his message to the farmers of
the country and Is steadily being
pointed out by the Department of
Agriculture and other agencies
through various channels, including
especially the agricultural extension
machinery Of the Department and the
State agricultural colleges. II Is clear
that 1t would be economically wise
and advantageous for the farmers Of
the Nation to put forth their best eff
forts during the coming season to
equal, and, IL possible, to exceed, their
record of last year.
In spite of the large production in
many directions during 1917, the sit
uation Is not satisfactory. The avail
able supply of wheat is inadequate.
Owing to short crops in preceding
years, the reserves of number of i'm
portant commodities have been great
ly reduced. Whether the war con-
tinues or not, the demands on this |
because of the increasing |
population and the needs Of Europe, |
will be great. They will continue to

FREIGHT OFFERED RIVER PACK.

PACITY AS IN "THE GOOD
OLD DAYS"

ing, where river freight business is
on boom. Not in years have the up
river packet boats been loaded as they
are today, and offering of new freight
is increasing daily.
A packet line operating four steam
ers has been forcing its running time
in an endeavor to work in extra trips
and another steamer is to be put in
service.
Rivermen are jubiliant, and say the
present heavy traffic is the best on the
river in many years. The indication
is it will continue and expand in vol
ume.
So many packet boats were sunk
and marine ways wrecked by the ice
and flood that there Is a serious short
age of that type of boat. The big
wages paid by seacoast shipbuilders
has also attracted all the old ship
carpenters, so there is practically no
labor left for river work of any mag
nitude.
The loss Of the packet City of Par
kersburg, near Ironton, Ohio, last
week, suspends direct river traffic be-
tween Cincinnati and Pittsburg. Ef-
forts are now being made to find a
boat to take her place. She was car
rying freight up to the limit of her
capacity.
The great possibilities of the river
as a transportation medium for heavy
freights was demonstrated last week.
A large machinery company at Hamil-
ton, Ohio, wanted to get a steel shaft
Is feet in length and Is inches in dia-
meter, to Parkersburg, W. Va. 1t was
found that railroad delivery would be
very uncertain, so the heavy shaft
was loaded on an auto truck and sent
to this city and shipped on the steam
er City Of Parkersburg, which was in
the Cincinnati-Pittsburg run. Unfor-
tunately the City of Parkersburg was
wrecked near Ironton, Ohio, and the
hull and the big shaft are now under
rs feet of water. Had this accident
not occurred the shaft, which Is in
tended ora big steel mill, would have
been delivered at Parkersburg two
days after leaving Cincinnati.
The Ohio river is still cutting cap
ers 1t was never known to do. The
stage of the river yesterday was 34.2
feet. which is the lowest point reach

ice gorges, when the water level here
