blankets. The soldiers uniforms, to
be of the greatest service must be all
wool of the best grade; the civilian
can use substitute in many places.
8. How much wool is being raised
in the United States?
Answer: It is asserted that only
enough wool is being raised in this
country to make one suit for each in
habitant every four years. There are
less than 50,000,000 sheep in the
United States. We could and should
be raising 150,00O,O00.
a. What is re-manufactured wool :?
Should it be put into cloth?
Answer: Re-manufactured wool is
made from worn garments that con-
tain wool, and from manufacturers
clippings. This material is fed into a
machine consisting of a series of roll
ers covered with teeth that pull the
cloth apart and deliver fluffy mass
of fiber. This product is first mixed
with some new wool or cotton, REGARD
ed, spun, and woven into cloth. All
wool rage should be sent through the
rag-dealers to the shoddy mills for
re-manufacture. Every particle of
wool should be used again. Re-manu-
featured wool is still wool.
5. Must we stop buying wool
clothing?
Answer: No. Mems and boys suit
ings, cloth for women's outer gar
ments, and winter dresses should be
largely of wool, to give satisfactory
service and protection. The Govern
ment is regulating the amount of sub
stitution in cloth for home use. The
civilian population must be provided
for as we'll as the army. Wherever
possible, a cotton or silk or part wool
fabric should be substituted for all
wool fabrics, and no wool should be
used for trimmings except where il
is needed for warmth. However, you
will get your moneys worth and save
wool if you will use it only for out-of-
door garments.
6. Can we expect a fabric made OF
cotton and wool combine TO take the
place of an all-wool fabric?
Answer: Many cotton and wool
mixture fabrics will wear as long as
all-wool fabrics-in fact the cotton
fiber is stronger than the wool fiber
Underwear of cotton and wool is fan
more serviceable than Atwood
Dresses of cotton and wool mixture
will often give as much protection and
service as the all-wool. While cotton
and wool fabrics require more care il
given hard out-of-door wear, you are
giving patriotic service by using them.

Commission.

The flour survey being conducted
throughout the state under the direc-
ton of county food administrators in
each county is now well under way,
and the administrators report that vol
untary reports are beng made in
large numbers, understanding that
the mere act of having excess -four is
not an offense providing they make re-
port sof their supply to the food adj
ministrator and show willingness to
surrender their excess or place it at
the disposal of the food administra-
ton.
The state food administration has
issued the following instructions to
the county food administrators re-
garding the handling of flour after it
has been reported: eff the household
er secured the flour since January /,
1918, require the mill or dealer who
furnished it to take it back, and pay
the same price as paid by the con-
sumner. Dealer had no right to sell
over 20 Gays supply and must take
it back at the price paid.
If secured before January 1, 1913,
ask dealers to take it back at market
value if they can handle it.
eff dealers cannot handle it, give
householder permit signed by the
county food administrator stating
that he is allowed to hold subject to
food administration order 49,. lbs.
of wheat -four. He may use out Of it
6 pounds per capita per month and
no more.
eff anyone refuses to give up -four
when requested by the county food
administrator to do so, or if there is
evidence of an attempt to conceal ex-
cess supplies report the fact to the
| state food administration"
| The Otter Tail county administrator
has stated that up to this time she
has secured reports of 10000 pounds
of excess -four in that county.
The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1918-05-09

wheat order applies to winter wheat.
These who desire to plant winter
wheat this fall may retain seed for
the purpose. The reason for this, the
administration explains is that it may
be necessary to seed this winter wheat
crop before the seed is available from
the present crop, and because great
deal of the last winter wheat crop is
total loss from freezing.
The time for the completion of the
flour survey has been extended from
May l to May Is. The work of pre-
paration for the survey did not pro-
gress as rapidly as was first expected,
the state food administration an
nounces, and as result in a great
many communities ct was no more
than just started on May 1. AS con-
sequence the food administration does
not feel justified in pronouncing those
people hoarders who had not made
reports by that time and advanced
the time of closing for two weeks.
Cards are being sent direct by county
food administrators this week to
those who have not made voluntary
reports.
The county food administrators for
each county are in complete charge of
the survey for their county. All re-
ports should be made to them and in
formation concerning the survey
sought from them.
WHY SHOUD WE SAVE WOOL?
1. Do our soldiers and sailors need
more wool for equipment than the
ordinary civilian?
Answer: A fully equipped soldier
uses 10 times as much wool as the
civilian. With the 1916 consumption
of wool as basis, civilians use 81
pounds each per year. It requires Toe
pounds of wool to equip a soldier
fully.
2. Why. do we not substitute other
material for some of the wool used in
army equipment?
Answer: No other fibre will re-
place wool and give an equivalent
amount of warmth and service. Tt
illustrate, the heavy felt-nap cottor
blankets are practically as warm" al
wool blankets of the same weight fol
household use, but they cannot stanc

once. The cleaned grain will run
through the drill or other seeding ma

a more uniform stand than can be OBJ

Cleaning grain removes most of the
weak and diseased kernels, many of
which may not grow at all. or if they
do grow are likely to produce small
weak plants. Uniformly large, plump

for seeding destroys many seeds that
are in the ground and thus helps to
keep weeds in check. hut the value of
this work is largely lost if foul seed is
sown.
Although the small grain of the
1917 crop, except in North Dakota ard
Montana, is mostly of excellent quail
ity for seed. yet it is we'll worth while
to run this grain through the tanning
mill at least once. No avoidable
chances should be taken in sowing the
1918 crop The very best seed avail
able should be used. Increases in
yield of from 2 to bushels or more
to the acre are often obtained from
sowing clean, large seed. but a gain
of even a bushel to the acre will mean
big wages for the days spent in get
ting seed ready for sowing. The
screenings have a value for feed and
none for seed.
