Tired OF WARP

I'm tired of war, war war. -
Twice within a week have we heard
the thought expressed, and it is
time that something be said about
it.
Tired of war? What right have
you to be tired of it, when you think
of the little lady who stood on the
dock and smiled into the eyes Of heI
white-clad ensign son-O, you could
tell he was her son,-while he grip.
ped the rail of our departing boat
and touched a forefinger to his lips
denoting kisses.
Tired of it? How can you be
when you recall the quiet man with
three stars on his lapel service but
ton who sat silent through most OF
our Red Cross luncheon and ther
when contributions were called for
wrote out and handed in a card
reading: Give hundred dollars ad
ditional for James NJ, Jr-fghtine
in France and not heard from for six
weeks"
Tired? How dare you be, wher
comes to mind the picture of the
mother who marched at the head oil
her particular auxiliary body in g
patriotic procession and proudly
held aloft service flag with one
gold star on it.
OF course you are putting up with
discomforts, turning over your saw
ings, working harder than ever. But
war-weary? Never!

tiredness. Work or fight, and do il
better daily until one day there

Among the many lessons whlch
the war has taught is one very I'M
portant one to our road builders,
and that is that the concrete road,
while expensive at the start, is
cheapest in the end and is the only
one which will stand the strain OF
heavy traffic in all sorts of weather.
The heavy Government trucks and
other trucks carrying freight to the
war plants in the East have ruined
most Of the macadam surfaces, but
where concrete was laid down it still
holds, provided the bed was solid.
or course, it is no use to construct a
hard road of concrete, macadam or
any other material over a mulhole
or a spring; such places must first
be cleaned out, drained and then
flied with solid material. A piece
of concrete roadbed which has stood
the severest tests is that laid down
by the county at Colgate, where the
heavy truck traffic was concentrated
in high degree.-Towson Union

Letter From The Front.

st. Little, of this town, received
a letter, under date of July 27, from
private Jules l.. Adams, who will be
remembered better as Dutch by
patrons of Mr.. Little's barber shop
where he was employed for some
months. Dutch" writes from the
Soldiers Ward, American Red Gross

Dear Sam:
They got me this time, good and
hard, too. Gee, wish I could gel
better revenge than I did. They got
me six times in one leg and two in
the other. / have had two oper-
atoms already, and do not know how

take my leg off, and the doctors
think l have chance to keep it.
Well, they were long time get
ting me, at that, and il the rest OF

Good luck.

Winter Wheat Faces Danger.

According to Professor Grantham
of the Delaware Experiment Station
much of the winter wheat grown in
the eastern states is sown too late
to develop well before winter sets in
This condition is due to two fac.
shortage of labor and the
damage which the Hessian fly does
to early sown wheat. Tht Hessiar
fly is even more deadly than a hard
winter, and much more common
Hence it is desirable to SOW late and
chance the winter.
Recent experiments at the Della.
ware station, however, have shown
that with proper culture and ferti.
cation the wheat may be sown late
enough to avoid the fly and still
make a growth sufficient to with.
stand the winter. Where fertilizer
was used the wheat which was seed
ed on October 22nd withstood the
winter just as well as unfertilized
wheat sown October, 1st Where
smooth. wheat was sown on October
22nd with fertilizer the quality was
better than that sown September
oath with no fertilizer.
By using fertilizer on the wheat
we can delay seeding after all dan
ger of the fly has passed, without
mourning the danger of winter kill
ing to which wheat sown late on
unfertile ground would be subject
At the same time the use of fertiliz-
er will bring the yield up to stand
ard and in addition materially i'm
prove quality.

America Must Restock The World.

America Must Restock The World
A census of cattle in France re-
veals a decrease of II per cent. in
beef animals; 38 per cent. in sheep,
and 40 per cent. in hogs since De-
cember 31st, 1918. Italy has SUI
fered loss of 81 per cent. horses
is per cent. mules and per cent.
swine. No one can even guess what
the decrease in Germany, Austria
and Russia has been, but it must be
enormous. Even in the neutral
countries the decrease has been
marked, due to increased demands
for export. According to a reliable
estimate the decrease of livestock in
all of Europe is equal to one-half the
amount of livestock in America to-
day. This estimate places the loss
at 100 million head.
) These figures simply go to show
the need of conserving and increas-
ing our own breeding stock against
the time when America will have to
restock the most of the civilized
world.

How would you like to be wheat
farmer in Australia or a corn grower
in Argentine? The Food Admins
tration reports that nearly 800 mil
lion bushels of wheat is stored in
Australia. There are no ships to
move it and therefore no market for
it. The government has guaranteed
a price of S3 cents per bushel for it,
and the commonwealth has added
- cents, making total of 95 cents
to the producer. In Argentine there
is no market for corn and many
farmers are disposing of it for fuel
at 40 cents per bushel. At that,
however, it would be better to be a
farmer in Argentine or Australia
than to be one in Russia where the
Germans would take your wheat
and not even say thank you.
No thanks, we are glad to be
Americans, and we are not going to
get over being glad either.

Lancaster County, Pennsylvania,
stands at the top of the list as the
most prosperous farm county in. the
country. The soil is naturally fer
tile and it is we'll farmed. Tobacco
and other special money crops are
grown and those require intense cul-
ture and very heavy fertilizing. The
effect of this is shown, all through
the rotation-the influence of the
special crop being noticed on wheat,
potatoes, grass and all Others

OF these cereals our shipments of
the prime breadstuffs in the fiscal year
1918 to Allied destinations were :
Wheat 131, 100000 bushels and of rye
100000 bushels, total of 144,900,-

The exports to Allied destinations
during the fiscal year 1861 were
Wheat 1876. 100000 bushels and rye

bushels of 1917 wheat are now In port

thereto. The total shipments to Allied
countries from our last harvest Of
wheat will be therefore, about 141 ,000,-

bushels of prime breadstuffs. In ad-
dition to this we have shipped some
100000 bushels to neutrals depend
ent upon us, and we have received
some imports from other quarters.

In this matter stands out even more
clearly If we bear In mind that we had

100000, 600 bushels Of wheat which we
were able to export that year without

Hoover said. "This last year, however,
owing to the large failure of the 1917
wheat crop, we had available from net
carry-over and production and imports
only just about our normal consump-
ton. Therefore our wheat shipments
to Allied destinations represent APP
proximately savings from our own
wheat bread.
"These figures, however, do not fully
convey the volume of the effort and
sacrifice made during the past year
by the whole American people. De-
spite the magnificent effort of our agri.

there a very large failure in wheat.

Our slaughterable animals at the be-

were probably less. The increase In
shipments is due to conservation end

The full effect of these efforts began

ports to the Allies were 2,133, 100, 900

Food Administrator Writes Presi-

100000 Bushels Wheat.
CREDIT DUE TO WOMEN.
Meat and Fat Shipments increased by
s44,600,0o Pounds.

Conservation measures applied by
the American people enabled the Unit
ed States to ship to the Allied peoples
and to our own forces overseas 141,-
600, 900 bushels of wheat and S44, 60O.-
600 pounds Of meat during the past
year, valued in all at $1,400, 100000.
This was accomplished In the face of
serious food shortage In this country,
bespeaking the wholeheartedness and
patriotism with which the American
people have met the food crisis abroad.
Food Administrator Hoover, in let
ter to President Wilson, explains how
the situation was met. The voluntary
conservation program fostered by the
Food Administration enabled the piling
up of the millions Of bushels Of wheat
during 1917-18 and the shipment Of
meat during 1918.
The total value Of all food ship
ments to Allied destinations amounted
to $1,4OO,O00.000, all this food being
bought through or In collaboration
with the Food Administration. These
figures are all based on official reports
and represent food exports for the
harvest year that closed June 30, 1913.
The shipments of meats and fats
