to keep the brides thoughts from
skipping across the sea and wonder

Mrs. Robert Burns, wife of Captain

POINTER AS TO BURLAP
Governments Appeal to Fertilizer
Dealers OF Rtchmond and Elsewhere.
Jute Importations Awny on.

Eurlap is growing scarce becaues OF
its increased use In trench warfare
and in food shipment and because OF
reduced impor;antions. according 20
warning received by Richmond and
other Virginia fertilizer dealers from
the United States Department; OF Agri-
culture. The department declares that
100000 yards of burlap could be
saved IL the fertilizer dealers would
use 600 pound bags instead OF tho more
common lQ0-pound size. This would
be the saving in the whole countr".
and Nirginia's part of i. would amount
to 4 great deal.
Bags are not only scarce. but the
Jules from which burlap bags are
made is imported from India and the
shortage OF ships has materially inter
Tered with The supply. while the ne
ccssity of furnishing bags for the army
for trench use will further deplctc
those available. The total amount OF
fertilizer used in the United States an
nually is about 6,0Oo.o tons and OF
this at least half is being shipped in
less than 2o0-pound bags. 4 SHORTAGE
OF burlap would ultimately reflect on
such uses as for fertilizers in view
Of the priority need for food contain
ers. and IL is held necessary that the
use OF burlap for carrying fertilizers
should be cut TO the greatest possible
extent
Another way in which huriap can be
saved is by the use of second hand
bags of any size. Many Of these ar.
on Virginia farms. Dealers in second
hand ba rs pay from to - cents eacn
depending on size and condition.

POULTRY AND EGG MARKET
Heavy Receipts of Spring Chickens
Cnuse Prices to Wenken-EEEs
Scarcer md High.

Cary and Thirteenth Street men re-
port much activity In the poultry and
egg market. The receipts OF spring
chickens last week were heavy and
prices sagged somewhat. AT The close
Of the week the figures were still cas-
ing down with the prospect OF their
being much lower this week. that Is
IL the receipts continue to grow. as
is very likely will be the case. Tho
receipts OF hens fell OF considera bly,
and the demand was quite active
However. there was no advance In
prices, owing to the fact that spring
chickens at the lower figures are fill
ing up the gaps and being more
freely used on the tables OF the con-
sumers The commission men look for
still smaller receipts OF hens this week
and they say the outlook is for bet
ter prices than last week.
Eggs were in much lighter receipt
all the week. and in consequence the
market closed very stiff at higher fig
nrcs. Light receipts are looked for
this week and of course sitter figures
are anticipated. The season for a fall
ing of in the egg supply is at hand
and the prediction of last week that
they viii not be any lower this year
IS likely TO come true.
