BOYS WORKING RESERVE.

To the High School Boys Of the
United States and their parents
Ny Dear Friends:
The U. S. Boys Working Reserve
is an organization that is endeavor-
ing to mobilize the high school youth
of this nation for productive work in
this time of national crisis, chiefly
upon the farms. Already the farms
Of the country have been denuded Of
fifty per cent. Of their hitherto avail
able farm hands. They are about to
be further denuded Ii is positively
certain that the farmers cannot har-
vest their crops without the help Of
the members OF the L. S. Boys Work
ing Reserve.
We are therefore appealing to the
schools. to the boys. and to their par
ents to answer the Governments call
and to permit the boys TO go to the
farms in order that the harvests Of
the country may be garnered and
saved, and to feed our civilian pOpu-
lation and our fighting men in France.
This release is thoroughly feasible
if the schOls will awake, as many OF
them have awakened, to the necessity
and will accommodate their Organi
cation to it.
The L. S. Boys Working Reserve
desires to assist in every possible
way in maintaining the education and
training of American youth. 1t is
using its every endeavOr to protect
American youth from any serious in
vasion of its education and training.
If the schools are alive to their op
portunity in this crisis it will be per-
fectly possible, in the opinion of our
highest authorities among the school
men themselves, to do the work that
is ordinarily done through a nine
months period within the limits of
a seven-mOnths' period All that the
Reserve is asking OF the boys, and OF
their parents, and of the schools, IS
that they shall so adjust themselves
to the crisis that they will be able TO
accomplish within seven months
what now they accomplish easily in
nine months.
1t is not necessary in this country
seriously to curtail the time ordin-
arily devoted to school work.
Whatever call the Reserve makes
upon the school boys of the United
States has to do with their vacation
periods. 1t asks the schOls in some
instances to prolong a vacation per-
iOd. and in some instances it asks
the schools 20 grant a vacation per-
iOd, in order that work that is vitality
necessary TO the winning of the war
may be done. But it relies upon the
patriotism of the boys to return TO
school with a firm determination to
devote themselves cOnscientiOusly to
their school work, to waste no time
in school hours and to make every
moment of their school session count
in accomplishing the course laid |
down for them by their teachers.
Faithfully yours,
W. +. HALL,
National Director.

CUTTING DOWN SUGAR
Sacrifices Are Necessary to Properly
Aid Our Allies.

Aid Our Allies.
To cut down domestic sugar con-
sumption from 1j.7 ounces to ounces
weekly per person is the present great
task of the American people, In order
that the Army and Allies may not suf-
fer.
During the first five months Of 1918
refined sugar consumed in this cOun-
try totaled 1907. .23S tons. That meant
a per capita consumption weekly Of
pa ounces for all purposes, including
sugar used in manufacturing, in ice
cream and IN sweet drinks and other
forms now dubbed "nOn-esesntiaL" For
household use alone the figure was
1871 ounces. as stated above. Since
August ! this weekly figure has been
reduced to about 8 ounces. under the
two pounds per month voluntary "a
ton prescribed by the Food Admins
tratiOn.
The American sweet tooth, then,
must crafty itself with about one
half its former quantity of sugar; and
It will require even less If 1t can be
brought to the spirit Of conservation
the Food Administration Is trying to
instil.
BY cutting to the new ration, in re-
latiOn to consumption during the first
Eve months of 1918 the national saw
ing will he more than $4,000 tons
weekly, $1,000 tons monthly, and about
4S5,O0O tons from August l to Decem-
Der 81.
This will more than meet Frances
needs for sugar during the last half
Of the year. And France needs the
sugar more than we do. To make
this saving means that every Ameri-
can must cut down n ounces weekly,
or IL ounces every day. It means
that we must confine ourselves, in our
homes, to about six level teaspoons Of
sugar daily, which must do for prepa-
ration of food, as well as table use.
The American people showed their
mettle by saving wheat enough to tide
the Allies over a bad situation that
threatened them with defeat. The
sugar shortage can be met with equal
resolution.

WINTER WHEAT
FACES DANGER.

According 10 Professor Grantham
of the Delaware Experiment Station,
much Of the winter wheat grown in
the eastern states is sOwn too late to
develop well before winter sets in.
This condition is due TO two fac
tors-shortage Of labor and the Jam
age which the age which the Hessian
fly does to early sown wheat The
Hessian fly is even more deadly than
a hard winter. an, much more COM
mon. Hence Il IL desirable to soW.
ate and chance the winter
Recent experiments al the 3e'a-
Va-o station However, have shown.
that with proper culture and fertili-
zation the wheat may be sown late
enough TO avoid the fly and still make
a growth sufficient TO Withstand the
winter. Where fertilizer was used
the wheat which was seeded on Oc-
tober 22nd withstood the winter just
as well as unfertilized wheat sOWn
October 1st. Where smooth wheat
was sown on October 22nd with fer
tilizer the quality was better than
that sown September oath with no
fertilizer.
BY using fertilizer on the wheat we
can delay seeding until after all dan
ger Of the fly has passed, without in
curing the danger Of winter killing
to which wheat sOwn late on unfertile
ground could be subject At the same
time the use of fertilizer will bring
the yield up to standard and in Rd-
dition materially improve quality,
