Sugar Must Be Saved
Helps to Make Up the Shortage
Among the Allies

If any man has failed to see the
reason why he should cut his plenti-
full apportionment of two s%poonfuls CT
sugar to the one of war time, he can
find it in a recent publication of the
United States department of agricul-
ture explaining the worldwide short
age-especially the shortage among
the allies-in the supply of sweets.
Not only has the supply of sugar
In some parts of the United States
been short, but there has been an
actual shortage of more than 2,OO0,-
600 tons annually in the world since
the wal began, and the shortage is
likely to continue, the publication says,
primarily because of the destruction
of a large number of sugar mills and
the devastation of a considerable area
of sugar-producing lands in Europe.
s Prior to the war practically all the
belligerent countries, with the excep-
ton Of the United Kingdom and Italy,
exported sugar, the total amount being
upward of 5000, 900 tons. War, how
ever, has changed the sugar-produc-
ton map and at the same time has
shifted the channels of trade. In 1918
it is estimated that the allies must
import a minimum of 100000 tons
of sugar.
Formerly the United Kingdom and
France depended to a considerable ex-
tent upon Germany, Austria-Hungary,
Belgium and Russia for sugar. These
sources were shut off by the war.
The United Kingdom alone thus lost
the source of more than half of her
normal supply of sugar and has turned
to new as well as other old sources
for her supply. The changes thus
brought about have been largely a
diversion of the product of Mauritius
to the United Kingdom instead of to
India, and an expansion of the imports
of unrefined sugar from Cuba, the
Philippines and Peru. For refined
sugar she drew upon the United States
and Java. However, the allies cannot
turn to such exporting countries as
Java and Mauritius without being
forced to go to a much longer distance
and over a more perilous route than
across the Atlantic. If the allies are
compelled to go to these countries it
will require IN extra amount of ship
ping which is needed for ~transporta-
ton of American soldiers and supplies
to France and England.
Russia's exports practically ceased
in 1914, and she is now reported as
somewhat short of sugar. Italy's crop
decreased last year and her imports
have increased largely since the war
began. Italy's consumption, how
ever, is small and her deficit is not
serious.

Why the Temperature Is Not
Hotter Nearer the Sun Is
Made Plain by Scientific Men

Why is the air generally much colder
a mile above the earth than near the
ground? The heat Of the atmosphere
comes from the sun, but by a some
what indirect process. The incoming
sunbeams are only slightly absorbed by
the dry air at high levels, and SO have
little effect on it's atmosphere. In the
lower regions of the atmosphere there
is always a considerable amount of
water vapor (water in the form Of
gas), and this substance has a relative
ly large capacity for absorbing heat
from sunshine. Lastly, the earth alb
serbs all the heat that falls upon it, and
then gives 1t back, by radiation or con-
duction, to the air above it. Thus the
atmosphere is mainly heated from be-
low and not from above. Air heated
near the ground tends to rise, but it
cools rapidly in rising. AS it reaches
higher levels the pressure upon it is
less it expands, pushing away the sur
rounding air, and it uses up in this
work some Of the energy that 1t orig
inally possessed in tho form of heat.
This process is referred to by scien-
ticts as "adiabatic cooling" This ex-
plains why the heat of summer often
seems to come up from the ground,
rather than from the boiling u above.

KEEP POULTRY
In BACK YARD

The department of agriculture has a
campaign in full swing for the estab-
lishment of small fiocks of poultry in
back yards of city or suburban dwell
ings. In every household, no matter
how economical the housewife, there
is a certain amount of table scraps and
kitchen waste which has feeding val
ue, but which, if not fed, finds its way
into the garbage pail. Poultry is the
only class of domestic animals which
is suitable for converting this waste
material, right where it is produced in
the city, into wholesome and nutritious
food in the form of eggs and poultry
meat.
Though the value of the product
from each city flock is small Of itself
the aggregate is large. A email flock
of hens, even as few as six or eight,
The Washburn times. [volume] (Washburn, Wis.) 1896-1976, 1918-07-04

should produce eggs enough, where
used economically, for a family of four
Ave persons throughout the entire
year. except during the molting period
Of the fall and early winter. BY the
preservation of surplus eggs produced
during the spring and early summer
this period of scarcity can be provided
for. The keeping of pullets instead of
hens also will insure the production
of eggs. Not only will the eggs from
the home flock materially reduce the
cost of living. but the superior fresh
and quality of the eggs are in
themselves well worth the effort ex-
pended. Eggs are a highly nutritious
food and are so widely used as to be
almost indispensable, and an occasion
al chicken dinner is relished by every
one.
Where conditions render it feasible
and cheap small f1ocks of poultry
should be kept to a greater extent
than at present by families in viii
lagos and towns and especially in the
suburbs of large cities. The need for
this extension of poultry raising Is par
ticularly great in those sections where
the consumption Of poultry products
exceeds the production, with the result
that prices are high.

Let's Have a Picnic.

These people who think of the dis,
comforts and inconvenience Of a pic
mic which so overbalance the pleasure
of getting out into the glorious woods,
are better left at home for they do not
make cheerful companions. Pick your
picnic lovers so your joy may be I'M
alleged.
Careful planning is necessary to
eliminate unnecessary weight unless
there be plenty of conveyances to share
the burden. The fewer washable rish-
es will appeal to those who have his in
charge, as important. Plates, cups,
and napkins of paper may be obtained
at small cost and they may be burned
before leaving, as every true picnicker
will see that he leaves no rubbish to
annoy the next group who follows
his party.
When a fire is to be built, which is
half the fun Of a picnic, q piece OF
sheet iron which may be used on four
stones for a support, will make a fine
stove, with the fire underneath.
Potatoes may be roasted, sweet corn
and onions, if desired, all in the ashes.
Do not peel the onions or husk the corn
when roasting.
The salad and salad dressing may be
carried in fruit jars. Stuffed eggs,
wrapped in squares of tissue paper
fringed on two ends, twisted to look
like bonbons, are attractive.
Ferns and wild flowers are to be
found to make pleasing centerpiece.
Lemonade, all sweetened ready to
add the water may also be carried in
a Mason jar.
If there is no place to build a fire,
a few thermos bottles will carry the
coffee. They are also useful to carry
cold drinks.
Sandwiches, of course, will be pro-
vided in quantity, for the appetite Is
very elastic when out in the open.
Fresh fruits of various kinds in sea-
son, with small cakes, make a dessert
which is very satisfactory.
A dessert which is not hard to pro-
vide and which is very delicious is
this: Provide sufficient sponge cakes
and carry a jar Of whipped cream
sweetened and favored. Cut open the
cakes, scoop out the centers and fill
with the cream. There are w any
left. In strawberry season a few mash
ed berries added to the cream is a
pleasant change.
The outing has lost its main object
if any have been overburdened In its
p~reparatiOnS.

Home-G Grown Sweet Corn Is
Best-Good Advice on How
To Grow Your Roasting Ears

To have sweet corn at it's best, says
the U. S. department of agriculture, it
should be on the fire within Is minutes
after being pulled from the stalk. 1t
loses quality very rapidly after being
picked because it's sugar changes into
starch. This is a fine argument for
having this crop in the home garden,
if space will allow. Those who wish
to grow their own roasting ears will
find the following advice useful:
Corn does best in a fertile soil, but
is able to adapt itself to all textures
from sand to clay. To grow it in suf-
fcient quantities for the average fam
lily requires more space, however, than
for most garden vegetables. 1t should
not be planted until after danger Of
frost is past.
The rows should be spaced not clos
er than three feet apart, and for the
larger-growing late varieties the dis
lance had best be three and one-half
feet. Stalks should be thinned to
stand from Is to IS inches in the row.

low.
1t is possible to use the ground occu-
pied by early corn for a fall planting
of such crops as spinach, turnips, and
kale. Large, late varieties of corn,
however, will occupy the ground for
practically the ',ole season.

Every few people realize that the

that they will doubtless continue to

B. Moulinier, regent of the Marquette
university school of medicine, in a re-

une.
"South America, for instance, is now
looking to us for scientific leadership.
China and Japan are once more turn

"It may be interesting to know that
much Of this research work has been
done by a young Philadelphia who

Cheaper Foods Are Made
More Appetizing If Care
Is Used in Preparation

Proper attention to cooking and sea-
soning will make appetizing dishes OF
the cheaper yet nutritious foods. Ac-
cording to the u. S. department of
agriculture, it will increase greatly
their consumption and thus reduce con-
siderably the use Of more expensive
foods now eaten in place of them.
Many housewives who complain that
children and adults will not eat break
fast cereals fail to realize that the GER
calls they serve may be undercooked,
scorched, or improperly seasoned and
thus made ~unpalatable. Most of the
cheaper foods require careful season
ing and preparation to be fully appe-
tizing.
Vegetables properly prepared tempt
the appetite. When they are soggy or
