Saving Soft Corr On The Farm.

Sorting all the corn now stored on the
farm and putting yentilators in the cribs
will help save the soft corn when warm
weather comes. says the United States
Department Of Agriculture. While corn at
the top. bottom; or sides Of the cribs may
be in fair shape, the corn in the middle Of
the cribs may be heating and spelling.
Examine the corn in the center Of the cribs
and take out all cob-rotten and spelling
ears, cautions the department. ventilators
should be put In before refillins the cribs,
unless they have already been provided.

BRAZIL LOOKING TO FUTURE
Important Industries of the Country
Are to Be Encouraged by tho
Government.

The secretary of agriculture Of Bra
I'll recently presented a lengthy me-
mortal to the president of the republic
explaining the necessity of encourag-
ing the coal and steel industries, which
has resulted in the publication of two
DEGREES OF the federal government.
The secretary's report states that
until there are at least ten coal mines
In active operation N the country the
effect of this insdstTy will not be felt
in the conservation of the wood sup
ply, which Is now being rapidly con-
sumed to meet the needs of the rail-
ways and of domestic industries. The
steel industry is so largely dependent
upon suitable fuel that. in the. secre-
tary's opinion, 1t should also receive
the attention Of the Brazilian govern
ment. The director of the geological
survey of the Brazilian government
states that by a process of washing
metallurgical coke may be obtained
from Brazilian coal, and that this is
already being accomplished In the
state of Santa Catharina.
The secretary points out that the
present lack of sufficient domestic coal
of suitable quality should not interfere
with the establishment of a steel in
dustry, which could temporarily use
wood. and that for more than 300 years
Sweden was obliged to depend upon
this kind of fuel. He also says that in
the United States some 100000 tons of
pig iron are produced annually by the
use of charcoal as a fuel.-Commerce

National Prayer Days.

The first time the people of the Unit,
ed States were called upon to observe
a day of national prayer was May 8,
1708, by proclamation of President
John Adams. A controversy had aris-
en- between this country and France
and all Americans were called upon
to pray for continuation of peace.
In 1915. when the United States was
about to make war on Algiers, Pres
ident Madison proclaimed "a day Of
prayer. During the Civil war three
presidential proclamatlons were issued
appointing days of prayer for peace.
In 1865 the authorities called upon the
people to pray for Lincoln, and in 1881
President Arthur proclaimed day Of
prayer to mark the burial of President
Garfield. In the autumn of 1914 Pres
ident Wilson issued his proclamation
for prayers on "Peace Sundays.r

AUSTRALIANS BIG SALT LAKE
1t Dries Up Entirely in Summer and
is an Extremely Valuable Piece
Of Property.

On York peninsula, In South Aus
tralia, is wonderful lake Of pure
salt. says the Wide World. 1t is a
huge depression in the earth which
fills up in the winter months. In the
hot summer sun the water quickly
evaporates, leaving a thick deposit of
almost pure salt. Seen from a dis
lance. the surface of the lake has all
the appearance of being covered with
a sheet of ice. The salt crust is so
thick and strong that men and even
carts and plows can traverse 1t with
perfect safety. Yet below the crust
there is considerable body of slug
gish water.
After the rays of the summer sun
have played their part, the salt is
gathered. 1t is just raked into heaps,
and these pyramids of salt are a strik-
ing feature of the landscape. The salt
Is now shoveled into carts and con-
veyed to various works on the sea-
board to undergo the process of re-
fining.
Gathering the salt is trying work on
account Of the great heat and the daz-
cling reflection. Often 1t is necessary
for the men to wear colored glasses to
protect the eyes. After the loose salt
has been collected from the surface
special kind of pillow is run over it,
when another harvest Of the valuable
material can be reaped.
The yield of salt from this strange
AXE amounts to several thousand tons
year. and 1t Is among the finest OBJ
tainable. The lake is several square
miles In area and Is naturally q very
valuable property. $50 :,

SOLUTION OF FLOUR PROBLEM
Wheat Can Be Ground at Community
Mills and Farmer Enabled
to Get Benefit.

One of the most serious problems
confronting the food administration Is
that of transportation. This is par
'ticularly so during the late summer and
fall months. Along about the first Of
August grain crops are started NOV
ing and millions Of bushels of wheat
are offered to the railroads. With
wheat and the winter stock of coal to
carry the roads are usually swamped.
There is a shortage of rolling stock
and consequent congestion.
This freight congestion can be re-
heved In great measure by milling
the wheat at home and thousands of
freight cars diverted to the transporta-
ton of other necessary commodities.
Incidentally it would relieve us of the
cost of carrying, the worry Of chang
Ing prices, commissions, etc.
Every community needs q flour mill.
Not only for districts where wheat Is
grown. but even In localities where
wheat growing has almost become a
lost art, the community mill has re-
tvived the industry. The small mill is
coming into Its own again and the
farmer is enabled to realize about one
third more for his grain.

shoveIInn Out Gas.

Weighing considerably more than
the atmosphere, the poisonous gases
employed In modern warfare always
seek lower levels. Thus the gas clouds
penetrate trenches and deep dugouts,
and in most cases It is a matter Of
many hours before they become suffi-
GENTLY diluted with the atmosphere to
permit of safe breathing. So the mat
ter resolves itself into a problem of
driving the poisonous fumes out of
the trenches and underground shelters,
or at least thinning them out until
the af Is again made safe.
For this reason American soldiers

In an article by a great hotel man In
the American Magazine the writer
says:
ut has always been Of interest to me
to see how differently people from 9th
er cities or countries act in New York
hotels and restaurants. When a West
erner or q Southerner sits down In
Q New York restaurant the first
thing he asks for is seafood. West
erners are wild about good oysters,
while the Southerner wants fresh
clans.
There is an interesting difference,
too, about the South Americans and
Westerners In New York. The West
ern man comes to the city eager for a
change in food. room, atmosphere, sur.
roundings and, in fact, everything.
The South American Spaniard is
exactly the reverse. He wants his con-
ditions at home duplicated as nearly
as possible. And because this has
been impressed upon us, we have in
the hotel McAlpin Spanish bell boys,
clerks. telegraph operators, walters,
and last but not least, Spanish cooks"

GIVE SPECIAL CARE
TO SUGAR BEET CROP
Growers Urged to Increase Yields
by Better Attention.
Careless Blocking and Thinning Is Re-
sponsIble for Small crops-un-
necessary Loss Due to Break
Ing Of the Roots.

Compared by the United States Depart
nient OF Agriculture.)
Growers Of sugar beets are urged to
give special care to their beets during
the growing season In order that the
yields may be increased, and In this
way add to the nations supply of
sugar. There Is every indication that
a normal crop has been planted this
year In nearly all sugar-beet states. In
the past the average yield of beets per
acre in the United States has been ap-
proximately ten tons. yet yields Of
10 to 20 tons are not uncommon. If
the 100000 acres of beets which were
planted last year all had been carried
10 maturity and an Increase Of but
one ton per acre had been produced by
more careful methods, we would have
had 100000 tons Of beets In excess Of
the norm@ chop, which, would have
added 100000 toss 90 our supply Of
sugar.
As soon as the beets have from
four to six leaves they should be block
ed and thinned. so that the plants
stand singly at intervals of s to II
inches In a row, the rows being 20
inches apart. Careless blocking and
thinning is responsible in part for low
yields. This is readily preventable.
Likewise careless cultivation reduces
the number of plants end thereby cuts
down the tonnage. This is also pre-
ventable. When the beets are harvest
ed there Is frequently unnecessary
loss due 10 the breaking of the roots
when the beets are lifted and by i'm
proper topping. If the beets are not
delivered Immediately after they are
removed from the ground, further loss
can be prevented BY covering them to
prevent drying. If the weather is
cold they should De sufficiently pro-
tected so that the roots will not be
frosted.
Labor is one Of the principal factors
influencing acreage, as more labor Is
required In the growing Of sugar beets
than most other farm crops. From all
reports. labor conditions are more IA
vorable for sugar beets than they
were year ago. The department OF
agriculture Is endeavoring to meet the
labor situation not only by encourage
ing the shifting Of labor to the GEN.
tors where needed, but also by en-
couraging the development and pro-
duction of labor-saving machinery.
This year there will be several beet
harvesting machines on the market,
some Of which have been thoroughly
tried out and are capable Of doing sat
fsfactory work. These implements.
which are likely to be In general use
In the near future, will do much to re-
lieve the labor situation and thereby
lend encouragement to the beet-sugar
industry.

prepared by the United States Depart

There is need of making use of all
meadows and pastures to the best pos

a large tonnage during the current
season, but without reducing the pro-
duction of milk and pork from pastur-
age. In the Northern and Western
