DUTCH SHIPS NOT TO CARRY SUGAR

The aquisition the United States of the SER
vices of forty Dutch ships, totaing approx
mately 100000 tons, now idle in Dutch East In
Ola ports, in which, among other commodities
sugar may be released is not apt to affect ma
terlaiiy the sugar situation in this country at
present or in the near future in the view of food
administration officials, says the Bakers Weekly
This despite the fact that, as a result of an in
formal modus vivendi, tonnage placed at the dis
posal OF the American government will be suf1;
clent to import from $4,000 to 100000 tons of
sugar.
While desirable market for sugar in Ameri-
ca is offered under prevailing prices in this coun
try, the time which would be necessary to trans
port the sugar, and other difficulties attendant
upon transportation by sea for such distance
at this time, would operate to lessen the benefits
to the United States which might reasonably
be expected from this shipping agreement.

GERMAN FOOD PROSPECTS.

Speaking in the Bavarian Upper House, the
Minister of the Interior, DR.. Won Brettreich, sad:
Owing to the delay with the new potato crop
our food position is at present very difficult. The
position has been rendered worse owing to the
fact that our limited breadstuffs supply has made
it necessary to reduce the flour ration by %
grammes (134 oz), and it is impossible to give
meat to replace this. l have protested to the
Secretary of State of the War Food Department
against the favouring of Berlin with weekly
meat ration of go gramnes instead of 200 1874

better than that of 1917.
''Tco high hopes must not, however, be enter
tanned regarding imports from Rumania and the
Ukraine. The prospects for late vegetables are
favourable but only small fruit crop is to be
expected. In order to preserve our herds of cat
tle-and we ought to reserve 10000 head of cat
tle-three neatless weeks must be introduced.
A substitute in the shape of -four will be given.
The milk fat supply is very unfavourable owing
to wild buying up and to diminution in the fat

although the number of hens has risen. The
general food supply is seriously endangered by
professional illicit trade
'eThe picture have given it not very favour
able but there is no ground for dependency and
all rumors that we are almost the point of col
lapse are absolutely criminal Inventions
In the same dispatches is news of food strikes
and riots throughout Prussia and from all of the
German states is heard grumbling and discon-
tent over the food situation, which seemingly
is becoming more serious every day.
Germany has made the most of her resources,
but the long strain of the war is becoming great

reverses which they are suffering on the battle
front
The allies are not overly confident that the
food shortage of the enemy will materially as
sist them in gaining victory, but it is evident
that the situation is daily becoming more acute
and that hunger may prove factor in ad-
yancing definite peace proposals from the Central
powers.

"A big decline in the corn crop as compared
with last year and the inevitable shortage in feed
for livestock means continued high prices for
corn and meats says the Manufacturers Record.
The South is the only section which can save the
nation and civilization from steadily declining

is upon the South to increase its output of grain

Distance That Bees Fly

The distance that bees fly for honey becomes more important as bees in- crease in any locality. Hence the im- portance of knowing exactly the facts along this line.
 Experiments have been made in many ways. One was made by finding bees on an island where there was no hive or bee tree seven miles from the land. Oth- CTS have been made by bringing bright yellow bees into locality and in few days finding bright yellow bees gather ing honey four, five and six miles from home The same have been lined di- rectly back to the hive, establishing the fact that bees will fly seven miles from the hive, if it is absolutely necessary. to get honey.
 While it is fact that bees win fly seven miles it does not follow that bees will make a surplus at any such dis tance In fact. the nearer the bees are to the honey plants the better 1t Is. but every beekeeper may rest assured that everything within distance of two miles belongs to his territory and he can count on it as an asset of his bees. It also follows that if apiarles are near CT than four miles from each othersthat the bees in their work overlap each oth- CTS location This conditions : does Rc harm until the location becomes so con- gested that the bees are unable to make surplus.

Iowa's Big Corn Crop

Last spring a serious seed-corn famine was averted in Iowa by effective county agent work. The seed crop in 1917 was a failure as a result of unfavorable cli- matic conditions. As Iowa annually de- votes approximately 1o.0oo acres to corn. which necessitates the use of 2,000,0 ,000 bushels of seed, and as the demand is limited to native-grown seed. the state had to be combed for an adequate seed supply
 Fortunately Iowa had coShty .agent In each of it's 99 counties and through these men 100000 bushels of good seed from the 1916 crop were located, while, by intensive testing and selection, a sim
 liar amount of good germinating seed from the 1917 crop was found. This use of the available seed supply resulted in one of the best stands of corn Iowa ever cultivated.
 Two outstanding features of note- worthy significance are prominent in this Iowa seed-corn campaign. Efficient county agent operations prevented ca lamity in the leading corn state of the union and strikingly demonstrates the value of such organizations in farming communities. Furthermore, the .nearly disastrous experience of last year should influence each grower to pick, select and carefully store his seed corn early this fall, in order to insure a surplus supply of high-testing seed for the spring planting.

Sire and Milk Production

The economical production of milk is possible only when the machine used. the COW, is an efficient one for the purpose and when the person in charge knows how to manage the machine. A COW is born with certain natural ability to produce milk if given proper conditions The extent of this ability is mostly matter of heredity and breeding. The high producing dairy COW is not the re- suit of any special manner of raising the heifer calf. The most skilled feed CT cannot put this quality into a COW born without it. All the good feeder can do is to make full use of the ability to produce milk which the COW has in- herited. The extent to which this milk producing ability is inherited varies greatly as is we'll known. Even in the we'll bred dairy herds not all the heif- CTS raised prove good enough to retain in the herd. Constant culling of ths inferior cows has been found one of the most important measures in main taining a profitable herd.
 The ability to produce milk is inher- tied through both dam and sire but since tile sire is responsible for half tho inheritance of each young animal, he is clearly the most important factor in inn proving the herd. according to c. H. Eckles of Missouri If the cows in herd are capable of producing only 2vb pounds of fat year and the sire used represents a breed or family. the cows of which average $50 pounds of fat year, it would appear reasonable that the heifers would average halfway be- tween, an increase of 70 pounds of fat a year

Breeders Operate


 County agents and farm bureaus in Minnesota have been active in organ izing cooperative live stock breeders
 associations. One association, recently formed through the efforts of the farm bureau in Mile Lacs county. Minnesota, to encourage the breeding of high grade Holstein and Guernsey cattle. is com posed of five groups of farmers each groups of farmers each group owning from 50 to I5 cows. Under the coop erative arrangement the sire belonging to the group is kept by farmer located as centrally as possible and receiving $50 year as pay for caring for the an- imal. The cost of maintenance and the original purchase price of the sire is di- vided equally among the farmers in the group Interchange of sires between the groups lengthens greatly the period of service of these high-grade animals Re- ports from Mile Lacs- county to the United States department of agriculture say that the plan is working well and gives promise of assisting greatly in the development of the live stock industry.

Better Eggs, Better Price

Better eggs now being placed upon the market as a result of the compul- sorry law is also resulting in better prices for eggs, according to the United States food administration.
 Previous to the candling regulations the general level of prices to producers was consequently depressed in order to make up for the losses from bad eggs which had little or no market value. Experience during the summer months of the past five years shows that about 25 per cent of all eggs were a total loss and 40 per cent materially depre- ciated in value. Every lot of eggs HOW offered for sale must stand on it's own merits. and the needless burden on the railroads, and all who deal in eggs, of handling a lot of spoiled eggs is done away with Every receiver of eggs must now candle all eggs carefully and in- clude an egg-candling certificate bear ing his license number with every case of eggs passed on to the next handler. Wasteful practices in the distributing trade are also prohibited.
 Whenever possible eggs should be kept at temperature of 60 degrees. Rotten eggs feed nobody but only serve as drag to distribution Eggs should be properly handled to prevent spoilage thus insuring a better price to the producer, as the waste in handling Is lowered, causing less loss to the handler and thus allowing him to pay on higher scale.

Thorough Tillage Needed

Big wheat yields. the object of every member of the American land army who is planning to take part in the 1919 I.ib- erty wheat harvest. begin with the prep aration of the seed bed It must he firm, moist, and well competed beneath, with a mellow, finely divided upper three
 inches of soil, and earliness in it's prep aration is important. say specialists of the United States department of agri- culture.
 If the importance of thorough tillage were more generally recognized and proper methods of seed-bed preparation were employed more commonly through out the so-called humid areas, there would be less frequent losses from drouth and better wheat crops would result, the department specialists say. In this area the mistake is often made of thinking that there will always be moisture enough present for maximum crop growth, and the result is short crops where more att tention to moisture preservation would have assured good yields.
 If wheat is grown in rotation Nvith oats or after wheat, Nhe stubble should be plowed to a depth of at least seven inches immediately after harvesting the crop of grain The ground should be narrowed within a few hours after blow ing, and cultivation with harrow, disk- drag, or roller should be given as neces- sary thereafter until planting time, to kill weeds, to settle and make firm the subsoil, and to maintain soil mulch above. Late blowing does not allow time for these necessary operations.
 If a cultivated crop precedes wheat, frequent cultivation given to this crop will preserve moisture and mantasA a soil mulch.
