FARM NEWS
By A. l. Foard, County Agent.

Buy Garden and Field Seeds Early.
Indications point to a heavy demand
for all kinds of seed. There is pos
sibility of shortage of certain kinds
of garden and field seeds. The high
err quality seed will be sold first and
the poorer quality last. Persons
waiting until late in the season to
place their orders are liable to be
disappointed in getting their seed or
in the quality of seed they get.
The same conditions apply to spray
ing material and fertilizers. The
chemicals used in spraying materials
are scarce and the amount of ready
mixed sprays on hand is below the
normal. The demand for fertilizers
ic abnormallv heavy and the supply
is limited. We must remember that
conditions are abnormal, and the fu-
ture is uncertain and we must pre-
pare for it.

An acre of corn will contain APP
proximately $3.50 hills. Twelve good
ears will plant an acre. If one Of
these ears fails to grow. sixty BUSH
ell yield will be cut bushels and a
thirty-acre crop at the same rate will
be cut $50 bushels, which at Sl.25 per
bushel would mean loss of $3.50.
Then those five bushels are needed to
help feed the world. Let the school
children test your corn under the di-
rection of the Farm Bureau.

HAVE YOU ROCK OR
GRAVEL TO BE TESTED

An unusual opportunity is offered
all county highway engineers and
good road enthusiasts throughout
the State to have rock or gravel tested
during "Road Week" in st. Louis
Feb. 4 to 7, inclusive. Arrangements
have been made with the engineering
department Of the City of st. Louis
to use the city testing laboratory for
this purpose. The relative value of
rock and gravel deposits can thus be
determined without cost, and the per-
son bringing the sample can have the
satisfactiono seeing the test made.
This is only one of the many features
offered by the Missouri State High
way Department, and all county judg-
es, county highway engineers, road
oyerseers, and others interested, are
urged to attend the sessions held in
st. Louis. The American AssoG Q,
ton of Road Builders, recognized u
the greatest organization of its kind
in existence, has prepared a program
which will prove instructive in the
extreme. Moving pictures will be
used to demonstrate various types of
modern road construction, together
with views of prison road camps in
Missouri. Models of oad-making
machinery will be operated. Views
and exhibits pertaining to road con-
struction will be both entertaining
and instructive. The State Highway
Board will hold its regular monthly
meeting in st. Louis on the 4th. Ar
engagements. have been made to hold
the sessions and exhibits at the Stat
Ter. Hotel. Representatives from
counties are urged to bring pictures
showing the condition of their roads
and bridges. These will be catalogued
by the State Highway Department

WOMEN AND THE WAR
By MRS. HENRY p DAWSON

These centers are near the canton

The Bureau of Social Morality is an
important feature Of the War Work
Councils program under the present
abnormal conditions. That ignorance
is no shield to q girl is well known to
its members. Instead. it is her gravest
peril. Any situation shrouded in mys-
terry ts dangerous. Women can deal
only with what they understand. A
true social morality must be built on
a foundation Of knowledge, and ~
inspired by high aims.
Fourteen women physicians are
talking to groups Of parents, school
girls, and Industrial women. These
lecturers bend their best efforts to
spreading Information on social ideals.
Colored women at this time must
meet all the problems confronting
white women. Their situation IL fur
Their complicated by industrial and
social conditions. Special clubs are
being formed among colored girls In
the neighborhood of cantonmsnts.
Workers are being placed in Industrial
centers like Louisville, Kentucky, and
Hopeweh, Virginia.
Immigrant men who formerly Ia
bored in mines, on farms, and in fac
tories, and now serve In our army are,
themselves, in need of assistance.
Foreign men marry young and many,
even of the young ones, have large
families dependent upon them. Be-
cause of these helpless families, the
War Work Council has translators

The activities of the War Work

to q sense Of their responsibility in
this time Of great excitement and con-
fusion.
No scolding of girls for unwise &C
tons and no solemn finger-shaking &C.
ours tn the clubs. Instead Of dwelling
on what not to do, these wise leaders
urge real patriotism. ALI sorts of pro
jects are suggested that are more in.
teresting than the dubious and danger
GUS pleasures which appeal to the ig-
norant and the thoughtless. At
parties, for instance, these willy chaper-
ones, whom no one ever thinks of as
supervisors, arrange that there shall
always be twice as many soldiers as
girls. "Twosing" is utterly impossible
where there are not enough girls to
60 around!
Club leaders do not attempt to ban
ish the gallant soldier entirely from
the girls world; they wish only tc
bring him down from glorified heights
OF glamour to take his place as al
everyday hero, subject to the same
scrutiny as other men.
Instruction and relief work are moi
neglected. Among the activities Of
fered are dressmaking, cooking, knit

SAVE FRUIT STONES
AND ALL NUT SHELLS

AND ALL NUT SHELLS
The government has asked that all
of the pits from peaches, apricots,
plums, cherries and prunes, and all
of the shells from hickory nuts, wal
nuts and butternuts be saved. These
are used to make charcoal or carbon
to neutralize the gas used by the
Huns. Two hundred peach pits or
seven pounds Of nuts produce enough
carbon for one gas respirator.
The school children of Stevens coun-
ty are gathering fruit pits and nut
shells. AS soon as yours are dry,
give them to some school child and he
will take them to the proper place
where the collection is being gathered.
Fruit pits and nut shells are so
much needed by the war department
in the manufacture Of gas masks that
an appeal for their collection has
been sent broadcast. Spokane has
been chosen as one of the $50 cities
where the material will be assembled,
packed and shipped. The Red Cross
society has charge of the collection.
Every person is urged to save pits
and shells, even in small quantities,
so urgent is the need of the govern
ment. Donors are requested to keep
the varieties separate and to allow
them to dry before packing. Pos
tage must be prepaid as the Red
Cross has no funds that can be used
for this purpose. The pits and
shells specially desired are peach
stones, apricot pits, prune pits, plum
pits, olive pits, date seeds, cherry pits,
Brazil nut shells, hickory nut shells,
walnut shells, and butternut shells.

The Chinese mind has peculiar
directness, choosing the shortest
route. Having decided that German
propaganda was slowly poisoning Gel
estial minds against the allies, the
Chinese government decided to de-
port all Germans, which it is immedi-
ately proceeding to do. The depor-
tees are mainly business men and
merchants, but this bothers the ORR
entail not at all. They will be intern
ed in Australia until the end of the
war, thus most effectually running the
German propaganda machine in
China.
