He was presented to the audience by
attorney D. D. Conway. In his adj

buy Thrift Stamps and in that manner
help the progress of the war. He made
it perfectly clear that to win the war
it was absolutely necessary for the
American people to do and conserve
everything possible. During the de-

FOOD APPOR-
1IONMENT

The U. S. Food Administration at
Washington advises that there be alb
solutely no deviation in any part of
the country from the $3.50 plan re-
curing pound for pound only of the
official substitutes to be purchased
with wheat -four.
We appreciate some of the localities
may have difficulty in finding sub
stitutes. This means that wheat or
wheat products must be sold only to
the extent that there are available
substitutes Of equal weight Recog-
nized substitutes are hominy, corn
grits, corn -four, corn fakes, corn
meal, edible corn starch, barley flour,
rolled oats, oat meal, rice, rice -four,
buckwheat flour, potato -four, sweet
potato -four, soya bean -four, feterita
-four and meals.
The Food Commission has given OPP
portunity for the voluntary return of
boarded -four and sugar in excess of
the quantity allowed. 1t now asks for
information from anyone who knows
friends and neighbors have illegal
amounts Of flour or sugar. Such in
formation will be confidential and in
no way involve the person giving it.

TO REPLACE FARM MACHINES
Farmer Should Make Us. OF improved
implements to Overcome seri-
Gus Labor Problem.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agricultural
Make every possible use of improved
machinery and implements. 1t is, of
course, poor farm management to in
vest in too much or needless farm
equipment, but it is always economy
to purchase well selected implements
and machines.
The use Of the largest and most
improved farm machinery, always de-
sirable, Is of special Importance.
Where large acreage are farmed the
largest machinery is the most ecOn0m-
ical. Many of the latest machines en-
body improvements which will often
justify their purchase where obtainable
from the standpoint of economy even
though the old outfit is still serviceable.
When new machines are bought on
large farms to replace others still
capable Of service. it is suggested that
the owners afford an opportunity to
other farmers who operate on a
smaller scale to purchase this replaced
machinery at reasonable price This
plan should benefit both parties.
All WORKOUT machinery should be
sold for junk at the first opportunity,
first removing all bolts or other parts
which might be useful in repairing
other equipment. It is usually false
economy to attempt to use q worn
out machine, as the time wasted with
hrpakappS and other DELAYS and tho
extra power required for its operation
usually more than offset the saving
effected by continuing it in use.

SUPPLYING HUMUS TO SOILS
First and Best Method Is Addition of
Stable Manure-Plant Green
Crops to Turn Under.

(Prepa1cd Gy he United States Depart
Heut OF Agricultural
There are three general methods Of
supplying Rumus to the soil. The first
and best is the addition of stable man
ure. When properly managed it adds
large quantities of both plant food and
humus. But manure is not always
available When such is the case, the
best thing to do is to make it avail
able Raise more forage, keep more
stock, and make more manure. But
this takes time and capital, so that
other means are sometimes necessary.
When stable manure is not to be had.
plant crops for the purpose of turning
them under. thus adding large quanti-
ties of humus at comparatively little
cost. Flowing under green crops is
called Green manuring. Under certain
conditions this is an excellent practice.
A third method of adding humus is
to grow crops like clover and timothy.
These crops are usually allowed to
occupy the land for two years or more.
Durin@ this time their roots thorough
~ penetrate the soil. Old roots decay
and new ones grow. When the sod is
pI0wed up. more or less vegetable
matter is turned under. This, with
the mass Of roots in the soil, adds no
small amount to the supply Of humus.
Another advantage from the cultiva
ton OF clovers and alfalfa is found in
fact that they are deep-rooted plants
and when their roots decay they leave
channels deep into the earth, thus aid
ing in he absorption of rains and let
ting in air to sWeeten the soil
Perennial grasses like timothy are par
ticularIy valuable as the numerous
fine roots leave the soil in very fine
filth.

There are no large sections north of
