BRITISH GOVERNMENT
Helps PAY FOR BREAD

There has been much misunder-
standing about the bread program in
England. 1t is true that the English
man buys loaf of bread for less than
an American can, but it is poorer
bread and the British government is
paying $2OO,O00,0OO a year toward the
cost of it.
All the grain grown in Great Brit
ain is taken over by the government
at an arbitrary price and the imported
wheat purchased on the markets al
the prevailing market price. This Is
turned over to the mills by the govern
ment at a price that allows the adul,
terated war bread loaf of four pounds
to sell at 10 cents, the two pound loaf
at 9 cents and the one pound loaf at :
cents.
In France, under conditions some
what similar, but with a larger ex-
traction, the four pound loaf sells for
10 cents.

THE GOVERNMENT AND
THE FARMER

In his message of January 81
to the farmers of America, Presi-
dent Wilson points out the great
governmental agencies and in
strumentalities in the field of
agriculture.
Our Department of Agricul-
ture, he states, is the greatest
practical and scientific organiza-
ton in the world and its total
annual budget of four to six mill
ion dollars has been increased
during. the. last four years more
than u per cent. It's staff num-
bers $4,000 and includes many
highly trained experts. The
agricultural colleges and expert
ment stations of the country
have a total endowment of plant
equipment of S172, 100000 and
an annual income of more than
$35, 100000. Ten thousand two
hundred and seventy-one teach
ers with 125, 900 students, togeth-
er with a vast number receiving
instruction at their homes, evil
dence what.ls being done in the
way of agricultural training,
and to these may be added the
255 men and women working
under the Smith-Lever Act.
The banking legislation of the
last two or three years, the
President shows, has given the
farmers access to the great lend
able capital of the country and
through the Federal Reserve
banking system and the Farm
Loan banking system farmers
oan obtain the credit, both short

ECONOMIC SURVEY OF COUNTY.

A complete economic survey OF
the County, which will include
the amount of hired help avail
able and in sight, the amount OF
seed for sale on farms and that
which will be needed for spring
planting, the amount of livestock
on farms, the acreage in pastures
and crops, the yields and pros
poets for crops Of last year and
the coming year and a complete
status of the fruit and orchard
industry, will be made March LIST
and End
The survey is being made at
the request of the Federal Gov
eminent by the Public School
authorities, in cooperation with
the Maryland State College. 1t
is planned to have a similar sur
vey made in all Counties of the
State on these dates.
Blanks for the survey will be
furnished by the Government
and distributed to the teachers
for the children, through the
Offices of the County Superinten-
dent and County Agent.
The survey is desired by the
State and Federal Government,
in order to ascertain definite in
formation for the purpose of aid
ing farmers where possible in
speeding up production. 1t is
desired to ascertain the amount
of labor now employed and de-
sired for 1918, as contrasted with
the amount employed last year.
Also to ascertain the seed supply
in the State. By this means,
farmers can be advised of seed
supplies near at hand. The Gov
eminent will also learn the de-
mands for any particular seed:
The livestock survey will in
clude what stock is now on farms
as compared with last year and
the demands and supplies of
different sections.
The crop survey will cover the
number of acres planted, the
kinds grown and the yields, as
we'll as the plans of cropping sys-
TENS to be followed during the
coming year.
The most efficient and econom-
ical means of gathering the in
formation sought, has been
found through the channel. of
the public school. Aside from
the opportunity for rendering a
valuable public service. this
work will place within the grasp
of the pupils, knowledge of
land values, of crops and crop
production, of the value of farm
implements, and of many mat
tiers of Importance affecting the
community and it's welfare.
It is believed every school boy
and girl will enter into the work
with interest, and likewise teach
ers and school authorities, in
that school efficiency will be in
creased and a real service rem.
dered toward aiding the success
full prosecution of the war.

MAKING MEATLESS
DAYS PERMANENT.

In the meatless menu there is fer
tile field for developing new and nour-
ishing dishes, according to E. H. Niles,
writing III the Hotel Gazette, who be-
ieves that the present shortage Of
meat and fats will not end with the
coming of peace, but may grow more
acute and continue for five or six
years, thus making 1t worth while to
develop menus of grain, vegetables
and fish on more or less permanent
basis. Meat can he replaced by cereals
and other protein foods, or may be
served in very small portions as a fla
voring for other food. In making up
meatless menus this author finds our
American Creole and southern cuisine
q broad field for investigation.
