Edmund Mitchell, food administrator
for Delaware, today made an announce
ment fixing a price on white sugar, after

said:
"The rule Of the food administration

whether in the hands Of the wholesaler,
retailer or jobber, must be sold at the
old price.
'The retail price for all bulk sugar,
purchased after September 9, Will be

tricts.
Retail dealers are to still continue TO
sell sugar in quantities Of not more than
two pounds per person per month in
cities and towns. and not more than
five pounds to purchasers living IN out
lying districts.
"This regulation must not be CON
sfrued to interfere with the sale for
canning purposes, as home canning
should be encouraged.
In case a purchaser finds a dealer
selling his old stock Of sugar qt the
advanced price. he should be reported
20 the food administrator at once. Civ

which they are able to secure.
On one farm In Caroline County,
Va, the regular practice had been to
grow corn on the land one year in
three and to allow each field to 'rest"
during the ether two years. The "rest-
ing" process was to allow weeds and
trash to grow up and thus accumu-
late sufficient fertility for another
crop of corn. With this system OF
cropping the yield of corn ranged gen.
orally from Is to IS bushels.
The Improvement of the soil on this
farm began first by planting one of the
poorest fields to cowpeas. The cow
peas were cut for hay and the stubble
disked and seeded to crimson clover.
The following spring the crimson clio
yer crop was turned under and the
field planted to corn. At the last work
Ing of the corn, crimson clover was
again sown. The following spring the
same process was repeated by turning
under the crimson clover and planting
corn again on the same land. This
practice was continued for five years.
The third year the yield Of corn was
about 40 bushels to the acre and the
fifth year the crop made yield of so
bushels to the acre.
Up to the time Of the change in the
cropping system, 1t had been the regu-
lar practice to apply 200 pounds of 16
per cent acid phosphate per acre to
each crop grown. Under that system,
however, crop yields could not be main
tanned. After the change In cropping
system, the same amount Of acid
phosphate was applied each year to
the corn crop. The only real change
In method was to grow first crop of
cowpeas and after that to turn under
q catch crop of crimson clover In prep
aration for the corn each year. The
improvement in soil conditions Is fur
Their evident from the fact that after
the fifth consecutive corn crop, wheat
was sown and a yield of % bushels
per acre was harvested. While these
yields are not extremely large, it was
possible by simple methods and with
comparatively small expense to In
crease the producing capacity Of some
very poor land to about three times
what it had formerly been.

TO OBTAIN IMPROVED TEAMS
Start With Heavy Draft Mares and
Raise CoIts-Animals Will
Prove Satisfactory.

The best way to get better teams,
so better implements may be used, is
to start with heavy draft mares and
raise colts. The mares will do the
farm work and raise their colts. By
breeding the mares to desirable pure
bred stalliOns so that they will bring
colts at time when work in the fields
is not so pressing, the mares will be
satisfactory as teams.
