by its foul methods of warfare 1t has already
sunk many millions of tons of ships. Not only
has that world loss to be more than made up, but
we have to provide q large further tonnage to
keep sending our soldiers abroad and sup
plying them adequately. We have the unprece-
dented job Of not only feeding our own army but
other armies and other populations also.
But the ships required for those purposes

The United States is now the great reservoir
from which supplies must be drawn. The enor
nous gain In our exports shows how other ma
lions are increasingly looking to us to sustain
them.
Although our exports may occasionally decline
still on the whole there Is every probability Of
their Increasing, not only during the war but
after the war. Large areas Of Europe are depop-
ulated and devastated. Many of the rich wheat
growing sections including almost all of the win
terwheat producing areas Of Russia, are in the
Germans possession. Conditions in Russia are
chaotic. The western European allies produced
in 1917 about 222 100000 bushels less than the an
nual pre-war average. There was a great drop
also in the wheat production of other European
countries. Argentina, Australia and India are
producing GOOD crops. But there is no shipping
to move 1t properly.
While the war is on there is big enough de-
mand from our allies In Europe for materials Of
all kinds We have to supply coal, steel, oil, cot
ton, lumber rails, locomotives and great guam
tty of other products. After the war when the
job Of rehabilitating Europe IS put through the
demand upon this country for and manufac-
tured material of all kinds will be enormous. We
shall also have to repenish the depleted herds Of
Europe from own cattle. Ours, fact, will
be the task of supplying most of the oord.
So 1t is clear that besides the millions of tons Of
shipping urgently needed for the army and navy,
we shall need a great permanent merchant ma

OHIO FARMERS COME

Il is advised that every farmer in
the county who has corn from which
he expects to get his own seed or
which he thinks will be suitable for
sale as seed corn should make a ger
mination test of 20 to so ears immed-
lately The time in which we have to
test and dispose Of seed corn is get
ting short and il behooves every
man to make every minute count
For several days, men from southern
and northwestern Ohio have been in
the county looking up enough seed
corn to load two or three cars. The
latest Information We have upon the
serious shortage in Ohio came from
w. w. Brownfield, County Agent at
Marietta, Ohio. He comes to Berke-
ley county upon information to the
effect that there is seed corn TO be
found in this section of the country
He was instructed to look into the
condition of the corn here by the Elk
tension Department, Ohio State Uni
versity, and expect to receive in.

volye the shipping Of as much seed
corn as can be secured back into the
State of Ohio. In the course of sew
eral trips around through the county
with County Agent Teal, several thou
sand bushels of corn have been To-
Gated Where tests have been made
showing that the corn will germin
ate 80 per cent or better no further
recommendation will be needed If
tests have not been made it will be
necessary for the owner to complete
a termination before he can dispose
of his corn for seed purposes.
We have word from Nat T. Frame,
State Leader Of County Agents, Nor
gantown, W. Va, to the effect that
considerable seed corn will be need
ed in the State and asking that in
formation be given him regarding
the amount which can be located.
For the benefit Of the farmers OF the
county, we wish to suggest and urge
most emphatically that they start a
termination test immediately of
their corn and without waiting 70
find out how it will turn out, notify
the County Agent of the quantity
,Fhich they have on hand and which
they hope to dispose of or ought TO
dispose of for seed.
Don't wait minute,
1t is our patriotic duty to provide
for other sections of the country in
supplying them with much needed
corn which will grow.

Ban On Wheat Lifted
May Now Feed Stock

Farmers who feel so inclined may
again feed wheat to their stock and
chickens. According to a bulletin is
sued by Max H. Houser, second vice
president of tho food administration
grain corporation, all restrictions on
the use or sale of wheat for stock or
poultry feeding have been removed. 1t
is not considered likely however that
tho cereal will be used for feeding pur-
poses to any great extent as the high
price set by the government will make
it more profitable to sell the wheat
to the mills and use the coarser grains
for their stock. Good crop prospects for
next year and a large supply Of wheat
in the country are probably RESPONSE
BILE for the new ruling.

This figure is approximately the same

An increase of 10000 900 pounds is

This destruction comes through spoil
age, deterioration and careless hoho-
ling, all of which means thriftlessness.
There is not a person in America VINO
would willingly rob one OF our brave
bows of his breakfast. In fact we
would do anything possible to add to
the comfort, happiness and efficiency
of these men who have proved them
selves, despite the handicap of short
training, as good fighters as the world
can produce. But through sheer thrift

amounts to $I29,T35,500.
One of the interesting manifesto
lions of thrift lies in the efforts now
being made to turn the former depre-
dations of wild rabbits into a national
asset. In this matter we are following
in the steps of Australia which a few
years ago had a serious problem on its
hands. But the government took the
matter il hand and the rabbits of
Australia are now a SQUIRE of wealth
to the country.
