Try This On Your GriddIe.

Here's a new way to save lard,
or whatever fat you fancy, wien
gridd1e cakes are on the menu.
Take an ordinary Irish potato,
siys a reader of The Star, peel ii
and rub it over the surface OF
the hot griddle, skillet or other
utensil. 1t is a perfect substi-
tute for the necessary grease, lie
claims.
The cakes turn a beautiful
brown, are easily fip-overable
and, what is more, are not so in
d'gestible as things fried in hot
fat usually are.
The suggestor says that this
stunt Can be used not only for
griddle cakes, but for many other
fried .breadstuffs. Washington

Portsmouth, o., Jan. %. The
Ohio River is almost frozen to
its bottom. This as shown 1ere
when two funeral professions
crossed Oil the ice. This is the
first time since 1899 that the
river was frozen sufficiently to
permit horses to cross.
In some places the shore ice is
nine feet thick and as hard as
granite. Twenty louseboats,
tow steamers and several ware
houses are solidly encrusted in
the ice and it is feared they will
be crushed when the ice starts
to move. In many places the ice
is gorged to a height of thirty
feet.

NITRATE FOR
VIRGINIA FARMERS.

OldCASDuIgs Sd.s =
Jan. %, 1918.
AS a part of its program til
stimulate agricultural production
the Government will sell Writ
ginia farmers a supply of nitrate
at cost. 4
The nitrate was purchased.
through the war industries board
under the authority of the food
control act and will only be sold
to actual farmers or owners OF
holders of farms, for use on theiI
land. It will be unloaded at At
lantic sea ports and the price
will be SIS. so a ton free on board
cirs at port of arrival. Farmers
must pay freight from their
nearest port and the State fer
tilizer tag fee.
HOW TO OBTAIN NITRATE.
Application for a part of the
100000 tons of nitrate must be
made through farm demonstra.
ton agents Of the Extension Di-
vision, or through a member OF
the committee of representative
men appointed to assist the
agents. In the few Virginia
counties where there are nc
agents these committees have
been appointed by the Director OF
the Extension Division. through
the district agents in charge
All applications must be made
on blanks that will be furnished
by the agents or members of the
committee, and MUST BE RE-
CEIvED BY FEBRUARY 4rH.
PAYING FOR THE NITRATE.
No money will be required
with the applications but, upon
notice from the county agent,
farmers who have signed appli-
cations must deposit with local
bank, association or individual j,
designated by the Secretary OF
Agriculture as the farmers agent
for that purpose, money to cover
the cost of the fertilizer, except
the freight charges. After the
money is transmitted to Wash
ington, the nitrate will be ship
ped direct from the port of ar
rival to the farmers. If ap olica-
tons for nitrate exceed the sup
ply the Government will pro rate
the 100000 tons among those
who applied.
WHAT THE FARMERS SHOULD DO.
AS the time is short, it will be
impossible tor county agents to
make personal canvass among
the farmers to ascertain thelI
needs for nitrate. Therefore
farmers desiring to purchase
should file their applications
with the county agricultural
agent, or with some member Of
the local committee. In coun-
ties where there are no agents.
the chairman of the committee
for that county will perform the
duties of the agent. A farmer
living in such a county, if h.
does not know the members Of
his local mittee, should adj
dress an inquiry to, The Director
of the Extension Division, Blacks
burg, Virginia.
