PAPER THREAD ONE
OF THE WAR SUBSTITUTES

Among the many substitutes that
have been introduced as result OF
the war, paper thread is attracting
much attention in Germany and in
Scandinavian countries. The follow
ing is translated from the Berlingske
Tidende, Copenhagen, Denmark:
"The special fiber material com
mittee appointed by Industriaadets
Studiekomision,' took up the question
of the use Of paper as substitute
for spinning material and on the mi
tiative of the Textile Manufacturers
Association company was estab.
lished in November, with a number of
its members as shareholders, with the
purpose as soon as possible of taking
up the manufacture of paper thread
for the use of weaving, for sails, bind
er Irvine, etc.
"The companys business commit
tee has endeavored to get the neces-
sary machines imported and in sew
eral of the textile factories temporary
experiments have been made. The
headquarters of the company will be
Copenhagen and its capital, which is
all taken up, has temporarily been put
at 100000 crowns ($670O), but will
undoubtedly soon be extended"

Largest Acreage Planted In Nations

Fighting Efficiency of Army

Washington, July 1.-THE Ameri
can farmer is making good at hi
war job. He is producing food VI
to the capacity of this equipment anc
labor
These assurances are given the
public by Secretary of Agriculture
David F. Houston. He believes the
country neither understands nor ap
preciates the response our farmers
have given extra demands war has
imposed upon them.
"Our farmers" says Houston,
"have occupied the first line trenches
of our food army.
advice to the farmer to produce
more food is one thing; assistance
to him to lessen his hazard is an
other 1t is this assistance that the
department of agriculture has been
chiefly interested in bestowing, with
the aid of 5000 agents in every agri-
cultural county in the country who
have been dealing directly with the
farmers.
"In spite Of difficulties the farmers
in 1917 planted 23,OOO,0OO acres more
of the leading food crops than in
1916-a larger acreage than ever
before planted in the history of the
nation-and produced record crops
except in wheat.
Perhaps even more striking is the
fact that our farmers, in period of
unequaled prices and volume of ev-
ports, have greatly increased the
number Of all classes of live stock.
Despite horses and mules ex-
ported for war work, the number in
this country increased during the
year by 454,OO0. Mich cows were
increased 100000, and other cattle
about 100000. Sheep increased by
100000, and swine by 100000.
Existence Depends on Production OF
Food.
"The farmers intend to do still bet.
ter-and they will do better. They
realize now more fully-as does the
whole country-that upon our produc.
ton Of food-stuffs depends, primarily
the fighting efficiency Of our own and
the allied armies, and the ultimate
strength to achieve a conclusive vic
tory.
Present indications are that he is
winning-that this years production
will considerably outstrip last years
Indications are that we shall have
more than 93O,O0O,OOO bushels OF
wheat this harvest. Rye production
will exceed the record year by a..
100000 bushels! the production OF
barley will be increased by 26,00O,.
600 bushels and oats will equal the
record year Of 1917.
But please emphasize this: IF
WOULD BE HIGHLY UNFORTU.
NATE IF ANYONE WERE TO
REGARD THE PROMISE FOR THE
FUTURE AS ANY WARRANT FOR
RELAXATION OF EFFORTS BOTH
FOR GREATER PRODUCTION OR
FOR FULLER CONSERVATION. :.
This country should place conf
dence in our farmers, who hold our
first-line food trenches. They are
not spectacular performers. Their
labors are little seen or understood
by people living in cities. The farm
er sees his duty, recognizes it and is
meeting 1t squarely. The food line
will hold"
