Every time you take meal out o1

That is one side of it.
Every time you take a meal out of

any one of score of things that

abroad with view to co-ordinating
the work of the private welfare or

Before he left for the actual firing
line, Mr.. Fosdick had conference
with General Pershing in which the
latter expressed the view that nom
military organizations serving the i'm
terests of our soldiers Over There
should be co-ordinated. This, he said,
would prevent any duplication OF en-.
deavor on the part of the private well
fare organizations and would reduce
greatly the non-combatant personnel
OF the army. /
A number of organizations as well
~ private individuals have offered
the Commissions large sums of money
to promote educational and recrea-
ti0nal activities among the troops In
France. Mr.. Fosdick is determining
where these funds can best be ex-
pended.

! If the plan of rotating farm crops
is profitable, as it undoubtly is, it is
just as true that it is advisable to
have garden rotation for best results.
When starting a garden on a new
peice of ground which has not before
been used for that purpose. some
time is required to get it into condi-
ton to produce first class crops.
Hence, one would like to retain the
old garden as long as possible. and
fairly good results can be secured by
carefully rotating the different va
rieties of vegetables.
But the fact has often been noted
that a garden, after a few years of
cultivation, will not produce as good
a quality of vegetables, nor as great
a quantity, as the first two or three
years that it has been used. If used
for long time it gets full of weeds;
insects of various sorts prey upon
the plants, and diseases of different
kinds attack the crops. This condi
tion can not be remedied by chang
ing the position of the different
species in the kitchen garden. for the
plot of ground is usually so small
that the distance any particular crop
is moved from where it grew the sea-
son before will accomplish nothing in
combating insects and fungous
diseases. The garden itself must be
rotated if the insects and diseases
are to be sidetracked.
The best way to do this is to have
several plots about the barn where
stock is allowed to run. Since the
garden must be enclosed by a good
fence, it is impracticable to fence off
plots adjoining the house if the plots
not. in garden can not be utilized by
stock. But if such plots are con-
venient to the barn, feeding can be
done in them during the winter,
which will keep up the fertility, and
during the summer the lots not de-
voted to gardening purposes can be
seeded to forage crops for pasturing
or feeding and after that seeded to
clover and then turned under for a
garden.
Such garden vegetables as rhubarb,
asparagus and others of like kind,
requiring two or more years to reach
the proper bearing conditions, should,
of course, be given a permanent
place for several seasons. WIN F.

DOings In The Grain Trade.

Despite the large declines in prices
which have taken place in corn of
late, that cereal is still selling far
higher than in normal times, and
cheap corn looks a long way off. A
considerable period of time may be
expected before the war stricken
countries will be in a position to pro-
duce their own grain and other food,
and meanwhile this country will be
called upon to do large share of the
feeding of their people. The Food
Administration realizes this fully and
is constantly sending out bulletins
urging our people to reduce consump-
ton and waste of food of all kinds.
The wheat crop has been marketed
with unprecedented activity, the gain
last week in the supply in sight being
5,978,OO0 bushels, the visible supply
in this country rising to 1l3, 49O, 900
bushels surprising all records. Dur
