MORE CORN AND WHEAT
ON FARMS THAN IN 1917
Amount of Former 65 Per Cent Greater
Than Year Ago--Increase of
Latter II Per Cent.

Washington, March 9.--Grain in farm
ers' hands on March /, 1918, as announced
yesterday by the department of agricul.
ture, was:
Corn l202,905 900 bushels, or 400 per
cent of the 1917 crop.
Wheat, lll,272,000 bushels, or III per
cent of the 1917 crop.
Oats, sos, 1876 900 bushels, or 37.5 per
cent of the 1917 crop
Barley, 43,404,OOO bushels. or POS per
cent of the 1917 crop.
Much interest centered in the depart
ment's report yesterday announcing the
amount of grain on farms, as the guam
tity of wheat in farmers hands was ex-
pected to be much lower than in other
years, in view of the pressing demand
the food administration has exerted to
send that cereal to the allies.
The figures show an increase of | / per
cent in wheat and 65 per cent in corn

! We had difficulty in stopping one of
our kindest caretakers from smoking in
the barn, and his pipe was invariably
bottom side up.
My fourth and last reason is the cost.
One of the boys at the fort recently
stated that his tobacco bill was 81 a
month. If he began smoking at the age
of Is and kept that up until he was IS
years old he would have spent sum
which, If placed at 6 per cent compound
interest would have amounted to $685.

conservative, it would have amounted to
S3,6s3.57 for the same period. dare
say that time lost smoking would add 81
month, which would double the last
amount stated.
offered one boy $50 if he would quit
smoking until he was u and another S25
if he would quit for year, but ] was
too late with my offer, as the boys were
in sbaekles.

have talked with many old smokers and
everyone of them has told me it was a
dirty expensive habit.
! wish that | had the statistics avail
able so | could state the number of acres
planted to tobacco each year and could
show how much food it ought to pro-
duce; also how much war work could be
accomplished by the army of men en-
gagged in the tobacco business.
Already buyers are after our maple
sugar for tobacco, while in many of our
homes we are getting along with low

The Peoples academy team had proved

Burlington teams, both of which are at
present having a merry little contest
over the league top position, but the
Morrisville aggregation was completely
outclassed last night by the local oppo-
nents, the latter team playing in true
championship form.
The game was marked by good ex-
hibition Of team work and passing by
the winners, while that of the losing
aggregation was for the great share of
the time OF a poor quality. they being
somewhat bewildered by the continuous
barrage attack OF the Spaulding team
and they passed the ball into the latter
teams hands almost continually.
The playing of the Spaulding guards,
Morse and Carpenter, had great deal
to do with keeping the Peoples academy

away from their basket. The playing of
these two guards during the season has
stamped them among the best guards in
the state interscholastic teams, while the
other members of the Spaulding team
rank well up with those of the other
teams.
The first period opened with Geals Gag

play and during the remainder of this
period the superiority of the Spauldng

baskets almost at will, the score at the

nv ROUGH GAME
Score Was IS to and Crowd at Mont

Harsh Playing in the Sec

| game of this basketball season Friday
evening in the armory at Montpelier, los

seats on one side of the hall
The game opened with Hatch making
a basket from nice long shot after a
few minutes of play, which brought a
good deal of applause from the spects-
tors. 1t was a beauty. A few minutes
afterward Crosson dropped the ball into
the basket for his team and then the
score sawed back and forth, the period
ending with Colby leading by score of
9 to s. Hatch made all of the points for
his team in that period Granai was en-
tirely outclassed by his man, which APP.
peared to annoy him extremely. In the
first period he had but few opportunities
to try for baskets, while Hatch made
some nice long shots, two of which were
successful. Galloway made long shot
in the same period, getting the basket
The second part of the game opened
with more speed on the floor. The visit
ors did a lot of long passing which re-
suited in their losing the ball oftener
than in the first period. As the time
shortened towards the end of the game
the feeling became tense and a few bad
falls helped to aggTavate the PLAYERS,
with the result that at one time the feel |
ing was almost at fighting point How
yer. few minutes wait cooled affairs off |
and the game was finished The Colby |
team pushed the home PLAYERS harder |
than any other team has on this floor |

In this period Lance was the only home /
man who was able to land a basket. /
which he did in nice shape under strong
guard. Hatch threw foul in the period /
Laird, the fast Colby forward. who was
unable to get tally in the first period,
landed a couple Of baskets in the second !
period, one OF which was a beauty from

shot in the second period for the only
basket that was for him in that period.

TEMPTING GERMAN SOLDIERS.
Mormon Missionaries Said to Be Work
ing in the Army.

Amsterdam, March "a notion that
Mormon missionaries from A mercs
have been corrupting the German sol
der and seeking to tempt him to reser.
ton is propagated by the Lutheran
church consistory for the province OF
Pomerana. which ACCORDING TO the Kreuz
Zetung, has sent out IT, following cir
cular etter to the local district clergy;
wv are given to understand by the
authorities that various anti.war seets
have arisen in eastern Prussia which
make it their business to induce sol
diers to desert and which furnish de.
serters with opportunities TO hide from
the law. One of these sects calls itself
variously the New Adventistsp or
WAR Adventists." They believe that
Holy Writ commands them to assist
those who object to military service.
Mormons also have wrought similar
evil, so that an American anti.war
would seem to be at work.
We urgently ask our reverend brethren
to keep diligent watch and advice us
of any signs pointing to such
baneful activities in their parishes"

KEEPING CHICKENS IN TOWN
One of Best Ways for Loyal American
to Help Win War Is to Raise
Hens in Back Yard.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
Every true American is asking,
'How can l best do my part to help
win the WARP" One of the means to
this end is to set the back yard to
work. Those who have suitable land
are cultivating vegetable gardens to
help increase the food supply. There
are, however, many back yards not
suitable for the making of garden
which may be profitably utilized for
back yard poultry keeping. In every
household, no matter how economical
the housewife, there is certain
amount of table scraps and kitchen
waste which has feeding value, but
which, if not fed, finds it's way into
the garbage pail. Poultry is the only
class of domestic animals which is
suitable for converting this waste ma
terial. right where it is produced in
the city, into wholesome and nutritious
food in the form of eggs and poultry
meat. A small number of chickens can
be kept in almost any back yard.
If poultry houses are not available,
hens can be housed at small expense in
