pounds a year, which is equivalent to-
8 per cent of the amount Of sugar they
consume In normal times. Thus there
is ample room for expansion of both
the production and consumption. The
present use of honey In the home usu-
ally is as a substitute for ~jellies. jams,
and strip. 1t is little used in domestic
cooking or baking. but this use should
be increased. While honey within re-
cent years has sold at prices sufficient
ly low to justify its use as a substitute
for sugar, 1t is rarely used In CONNER
cial food manufacturing except In the
making Of certain cakes which must
be kept moist for a considerable time.
Usually. however, the supply of honey
Is so inadequate that most of the crop
can be used as a spread for bread.
With the use limited as 1t Is, many
people in the United States rarely eat
honey. but it Is evident that there
might be developed a ready sale for
honey as a supplement to sugar. II
production were Increased many times.
The amount Of nectar secreted BY
the untold myriads of flowers, from
which bees make honey, is large be-
yond our comprehension. The total
amount of sugar in the nectar greatly
exceeds the amount Of all sugar and
other sweets consumed by the Ameri-
can people. Unfortunately, from the
standpoint of man, this sugar cannot
all be collected and utilized as human
food. Even the honey bee. which Is so
often used as an example Of industry,
consumes for Its own food the larger
part of all that 1t collects.
Bookkeeping Is. therefore. the means
Of saving for human use a small frac.
ton of the vast store Of sugar 'pcreted.
But the raw material Is free and its
conservation costs only a small ex'
penditure for equipment and relatively
little in labor. and the honey crop could
be increased 10 or even 20 times with

per pound to an appreciate degree.

but much of the area that Is wholly
idle would furnish fair summer graz
ing for sheep. Some readjustment
with regard to cropping and the keep
ing of other stock would be required,
to furnish winter feed. but under ex-
listing conditions of farm labor and tho
present grain prices this change would
have a favorable effect upon the net
farm income.
For the greater production Of wool
and mutton. however, future depen-
dence must be placed chiefly upon the
more general rearing Of sheep upon
improved lands. The keeping Of one
eve to each three acres Of all land In
farms on one-fourth of the 30 per cent
of farms now having no sheep would
double the number now in the country.

can be done is to keep bees and get

many ways in place of sugar. The pro-

be increased without great effort. Not

NEAR VIOLA
RAISES ALFALFA
FINDS CROP THAT PAYS BET
TER THAN WHEAT WITH
VERY MUCH LESS WORK

C. w. Williams, who is farming
near Viola, brought to The, Star
Mirror office as fine a bunch of al
falfa as has been seen here this year
The stalks are 8 IL feet tall and
covered with a rich foliage. The
alfalfa was grown on high ground
without irrigation, and promises a
heavy yield. 1t is about ready to cut
and he expects to begin harvesting it
within a few days. The dry, hot
weather is bringing the harvest on
earlier than usual, as the alfalfa on
the highest and driest points is be-
ginning to dry up from the bottom
and the leaves to fall off.
Mr.. Williams has been raising al
falfa for four years. This will be
the fourth crop grown in this field
and it is as good this year as in
former seasons. Last year Mr..
Williams got an average of about
1 3-4 tons per acre, and he sold the
hay for $22 per ton at the ranch. He
had about 100 tons last year. AS
there was no expense for seeding or
threshing and his only expense was
in harvesting the crop, he estimates it
paid better than wheat and will pay
better in an average season. Of
course, with wheat at wartime prices
of So or better per bushel, wheat will
pay the best.
Mr.. Williams began raising alfalfa
because his ground, much of it hav-.
ing been timbered, was foul with /
ferns. The ferns killed out his wheat.
~ worked myself and my family al
most to death pulling ferns, but they
took the grain and / got tired, 20
planted alfalfa and it is killing out
the ferns and it yields good profit
every year." said Mr.. Williams, who
is making a success of raising alfalfa
irrigation.
Mr.. Williams is being assisted in
MS farm work by his daughters. His
son was called to the service of his |
country and is now on Long Island, |
to go to France very soon.
The daughters have taken their broth
er's place and can handle team and
10 almost any kind of farm work as
we'll as a man and are just as surely
doing their bit" as the brother who

which no one can contemplate with
equanimity.
What is the answer? There is only
one; it is saving coal. 1t is the
answer Europe has made in a similar
situation-saving coal in every pos
sible way and by all the people. If
we were to avert the privations and
| disaster attendant upon shortage of
coal much greater than last year, the
most intensive measures of fuel econ
omy must be carried into every &C
tivity of industrial and domestic life,
and the cooperation of every man
and woman in the country must be
100 per cent.
The fuel administration has for
seen the situation represented by
these figures, and through it's conser-
walton division has organized fuel saw
ing campaigns reaching out into every
department of our national life where
fuel is consumed.
Every American citizen will be ask
ed to clean his furnace, keep it in re-
pair and study economical firing. In
struction prepared by the highest
authority will be furnished by the
fuel administration.
If everyone joins in this movement,
from the owner Of an industrial plant
to the householder with his furnace
and cookstove, if houses are not over
heated, the furnace hampers properly
adjusted and the ashes sifted, it will
be possible to save from sixty to
seventy-five million tons of coal with
out serious inconvenience to the Am
erican people.
A saving Of sixty million tons of
coal is the one possible avenue of
escape from national disaster. Neces-
stiles of war must be supplied. The
coal deficit must inevitably come out
Of the necessary fuel for non-war in
dustries. These industries employ
of our population and furnish
the back bone of our national waltz.
Factories will shut down and men be
out Of work in proportion to the coal
deficit. Every ton of coal saved will
keep fifty workmen from idleness and I
permit an additional creation of sew
eral hundred dollars worth of ma
sional wealth.
The fuel administration has frankly
given to the public statistics of an
alarming fuel situation 1t desires to |
state just as frankly and with all the
emphasis possible that it is in the
power of the American people through
'uel economy to save the country from
he effects of the fuel famine"

1t must be discouraging to the central powers to

been preparation for six months and had been adver
tised as 'ready start" for three months, and
really expected to bring satisfactory results to the

that the fighting might be fed the drive has been
a failure. The soldiers captured say they had had
nothing to eat for 48 hours. The army is underfed
and has heart for fighting. The best luck the
Austrian soldiers hope for is to be captured No
wonder there are riots in the towns of the central

price The unholiness of their must be grad

MUST SAVE FUEL
DURING THE SUMMER
GOVERNOR GOODING, STA TIE
FUEL ADMINISTRATOR,
ISSUES WARNING

In an appeal to the people of Idaho
to do their bit in saving fuel for the
great war work, Governor Frank R.
Gooding, who is neglecting his own
immense business interests to devote
his time to the fuel-saving work, has
called upon the Idaho people to assist
in this most important work. Gov
ernor Goodin's appeal follows:
"Gooding, Idaho-The fuel budget
for the season 1918-1919 has been
completed by the United States Fuel
administration. We know the worst
of bad situation. A detailed survey
of the coal required during the pres
ent coal year for war purposes, to
keep our industries running, and for
domestic consumers, foots up about
eighty million tons more than was
produced last year. This is the fig
ure on June 1.
AS our part in the great war in
creases, we are confronted from
month to month, with unexpected adj
ditions to former estimates of fuel
requirements and to greater demands
on the man-power of the country. so
that those responsible for the conser-
walton of fuel do not feel safe in as
Stunning that the increased demand
will be only eighty million tons, nor
In assuming that it will be possible to
obtain from increased production more
than one-half of the deficiency. Con-
servation must provide for unexpected
contingencies affecting both figures
of production and of consumption.
One has only to remember that the
production of coal last season was
fifty million tons greater than ever
before in the history of the country,
and to reflect on the enormous added |
portation system, as well as the man
power which is necessary to produce
and distribute coal, to understand that |
the fuel supply for this year is one
of the most difficult and threatening
problems the war has presented.
1t is estimated that the industries
not employed on war work will re-
quire something less than 1O0,000,000
tons of coal. Ali consumers of fuel,
war industries and otherwise, must
participate in the saving campaign,
but non-war industries are especially
because whatever the de-
ficiency turns out to be, it will come
out of their quota. Hence, the gen
eral prosperity of our industries and
the full employment of labor will de-
pend upon saving, by, economies and
of waste, between 5O,OO0,-
700 and 6O,0O0,0Q0 tons of coal.
In spite of intense efforts to in ;
,rease the production of coal, the first
i've months of 1918 have produced !
My ten million tons in excess of the {
anne period of 1917. If this is con- 4
idered in relation to the immense
Mystical task involved in producing
welve million tons Of coal per week,
:, is easy to draw the conclusion that
MS increased demand of one hundred
lillion tons cannot, to any large ex- S
mt be met by increased production. 9
And vet an actual deficit of half a t
Iillion tons would mean personal 0
rivation and an industrial disaster !.
