No Sugar Cards
Are Needed Here.
Board Decides
Few Unpatriotic Hoarders
Not Worth Bothering
About

No rationing card system for sugar
or any other commodity is contemplate
ed for the people of this city, accord
ing to an ofticial announcement made
yesterday by the Federal Food Board
here. The boarding proclvities of a
few unpatriotic housewives, which have
caused the city to exceed its allotment,
are not considered sufficient to war
rant the issuance Of cards
The board will cooperate. however,
with the retail grocer in an effort to
prevent boarding in the home
"One of the methods suggested" said
statement given out by the board,
"was that of asking the customer to
sign for his regular purchases, at the
same time stating that the aggregate
supply in the home did not exceed the
proportion of two pounds monthly for
each member of the family or for each
ninety meals served where guests are
entertained"
The boards movement to conserve
sugar resulted yesterday in the penal
lzlng of William A. Bcckmann, a re
tail grocer of 1913 Nostrand Avenue
Beckmann will be cut off from further
sugar supplies until March 16, 1919,
for alleged false statements in his
application for sugar certificates. He
had said that he used 1000 pounds in
May, June and July. An investigation
by the board showed. it is said, that
he had sold idcrably less, ravns
altered th figures on his bills to sub
stantiatc those of his application.
Inc board announced that the Farm
crs Feed Company had agreed TO re-
ducc its price on brewers wet grain
which it supplies to many dairy farm
crs on Long Island, from $40 to S6 a

increased from Sc to $40, causing the
Long Island Dairymen's Association to
lodge protest. The board ordered the
company to make a refund on all grain
sold at the increased price.

Music
Then and Now in the Playing
of Jascha FIeifetz

A year ago the young volnist Writ
uoso and artist, Jascha Heifetz, came
out Of Russia, and at his first recital
stirred up memories Of the masters of
the generation that had passed away by
the nobility and equipoise of his play
ing, by an exhibition Of penetrative
intelligence, sense of the compelling
charm of repose unfolding itself so
subtly as to leave no thought of tech
nical achievement, an appreciation OF
beauty of tone. tonal nuancc, color,
symmetrical adjustment of phrase,
impeccablc intonation and lovclincss of
line, which were an all-suttcient cX-
preston of beauty in the music which
he played. Even in the COMPOSE tons
comparatively inconseQuential in their
musical contents and obviously de
signed to display the technical acquire
ments which please the groundlings be-
cause they amaze them, he preserved
the elements of lofty beauty by avoid
ing cxaggerations and pursuing the
path of conscious capacity. Yesterday
afternoon, when he gave a recital in
Carnegie Hall, he manifested deplora-
BILE disposition to sentimentallZe all
the classical serenity out of the music,
as if determined to adapt it to the
sensiblites of mushy boarding school
misses. For the honest drawing and
straightforward sentiment of the mu-
sic, which need to be borne aloft to
retain the interest of modern music
lovers, the real appreciators of the
composition had to cling to the tran
scription of the orchestral part played
on the pianoforte by Mr.. Andre Benoist
The violin solo was 100 pretty to be
beautiful. Mr.. Heifetz has lost none of
the great skill which showed him to be
a master year ago, but he seems to be
in danger of losing some of his great
ideals. Has he become apprehensive
lest some of his rivals surpass him in
popularity? He has the elements in
his art which should lift him above
such fear. There is nothing to be
gained by playing down to the level of
an audience crowding Carnegie Hall in
a time of epidemic. when obvious rea-
sons have compelled his rivals to cancel
their engagements. Not always. bat
just now, the voice of the box Office is

GIVING THE POTATO CROP A
QUICK START

One Of the most discoG-aging things
for the potato grower is the long de-
lay which comes right after the pota-
toes are planted.
Some weeds are ready to start right
"off the bat" In their root stalks they
have saved up plant food for just this
emergency. The potato. however, it
not good forager. and too often de-
lay In getting quick start means
partial or total crop failure. The most
important plant food in the early
spring Is ammonia-the stem and leaf
producer. At the time of year when
potatoes are planted. the soil is still
cold 1t has just been leached by the
winters rains and is low I'm available
plant food. Even when manure is ap-
piled to a cover sod and turned under,
use of ammonia In fertillzer-from 2
to 3 per CENTS a most profitable

TAKE CARE OF THE SEED
POTATOES

Don't let seed potatoes sprout In
storage. Every inch Of sprout means
so much strength gone and diminishes
by just this much the ability of the
seed pieces to produce quick, sturdy
growth In the early spring.
For the very early potatoes,
wherever small areas are to be plant
ed, spread the seed potatoes out In the
warm sunlight or In a light unheated
room In a dwelling house. some three
weeks before planting time. This
makes the sprouts grow thick, tough
and sturdy. makes the crop earlier and
increases yields.
When the potato tops are from six
to eight inches high put on a second
dose Of fertilizer, applied alongside the
row. The roots are then getting well
started and available plant food put
where they can get 1t keeps them

MOST DANGEROUS PESTS.

East Lansing. Mich, Noy. 25.--A
series of reports received by the farm
crops department of the M. A. c. tell
of widespread invasion of the state
this season by the wild oat. The
weed, which if not controlled becomes
a dangerous pest, was brought into
the state last spring with spring
wheat imported from the west. I'm
mediate control measures are urged
by the farm crops men of M. A. c..
Few people realize what a danger
Gus weed the wild oat is" declares
Prof. f. A. Spragg in new issue of
the Quarterly Bulletin. wild oats
mature early and usually ripen before
the crop in which they grow. They
shell off and normally lie in the
ground until the next spring without
sprouting. In fact, portion of them
normally lie in the ground for term
of years, terminating only under the
most favorable conditions when they
will again be weeds in a grain field.
Wild oats have been known to lie
under timothy sod for four years and
terminate when the ground was
broken for cropping.
TO control the pest observe the
following: % Plant only clean seed.
(2) Pull wild oat plants wherever and
whenever they appear, even at risk
of pulling up some other plants as
we'll. 60 If you had wild oats go to
seed this year, put the land into a Gull
tivated crop next spring. (4) If
you had any wild oats in your harvest
ed grain do not use it for seed. (5)
Before using the sacks again, turn and
clean them"
