A Swiss commercial paper states
| that there is a great shortage in coal
| of all kinds, an insufficient supply OF
| wood for fuel, and small reserves III
| oils and grease throughout Switzer,
land. Fresh eggs have disappeared
from the market. Dry vegetables are
becoming more scarce. A project to
manufacture -four from potatoes had
to be abandoned because sufficient sup
plies of potatoes could not be secured.
In Holland coal and coke prices
have been advanced. In American
terms, the maximum price for anthra-
cite is about $22 ton coke, $40 ton;
coal briquetS, $25 a ton. Distribution
is carefully regulated by cards, in
specified quantities. The amount al
lowed, especially to residences, is
much smaller than in peace times.
New French food regulations forbid

Rifle and cartridge production in the
United States has developed in volume
and in quality on a scale assuring the
satisfactory equipment of the army,
according to statement authorized by
the secretary of war.
To achieve the rifle and ammunition
production program the government
has expended or has obligated itself to
expend, during 10 months of war,
$500, 100000 and 200 officers, $4,000
men, and 10000 women have been en-
gagged exclusively in the manufacture
of rifles and cartridges. Two govern
ment plants and three privately owned
plants are engaged in making rifles
and one government plant and nine
privately owned plants are engaged in
cartridge manufacture. Ordnance ex-
perts in this country and in Europe
are in agreement that the United
States army is being equipped with
two Of the best three rifles in the
world.
"Stars and Stripes" is the name of
the weekly newspaper being published
in France for American troops, under
the direction of the intelligence sec
ton. Practically the entire paper is
devoted to American news, including
a daily radio report of about 1,4OO
words supplied by the committee on
public information to the French gov
eminent.
Exports of corn to Canada for feed
ing and manufacturing purposes have
been limited to those varieties and
grades which are not suitable for seed
purposes.
Divisional athletic directors who
have received commissions will accom-
pany their contingents to France, ac-
cording to the war department COM
mission on training camp activities
Boxing instructors will not be sent
with the troops, as at present the need
for these men is considered greater
on this side.

HATCH CHICKS EARLY

farmers save young hens and pgilets,
30 they will be on hand for stock in
the spring. The stock of poultry has
been reduced considerably this fall by
q widespread sale, for market, of
young hens and pullets. Therefore, 1t
h necessary to conserve stock now,
Or else the shortage may interfere Sc
ricusly with the production program.
In Wow Of the stock shortage, to kill

tential egg production next year any
whore from i've to twelve dozen eggs
Every Matching in the spring will
Increase the number and size of fowls
and the number of eggs produced next
year. 1t will result in bigger birds,
and birds that will lay in the winter
months.
Every farmer il urged to start the
Matching season earlier than usual

natural methods, IL the hens will sit
earlier.
The chickens first Matched in the
spring are the ones that are largest
In the summer. that mature first in
the fall, and that lay eggs in the win

that win want to sit early the follow
Ing spring, which, In turn, win hatch
earlier chickens-and so the cycle
will continue. On the contrary, chick
ems Matched late in the spring do not
mature until so late in the fall that
they viii not become winter layers.
They will not sit until late in the next
spring. and so another cycle of late
maturing. late laying fowls is estab-

PROTECT YOUR CORN
FROM liEEVIL Damage
THE BLACK WEEviL DESTROYS
LARGE QUANTITIES OF CORN
sEhCH YEAR.
CAUSES IMMENSE LOSSES
Carbon Bisulphlde, Properly Used,
VIII Kill the Weevii and Save
the Corn.

The rice weevi,, commonly called
the black weevil, does tie greasest
damage to corn This insect will at
tack the corn in the field, consequent
ly one must use measures that will re-
duco such damage. The only method
Of lessening the field ravages is to
field-select the seed corn in order to
be sure of getting ears with tight
shuck coverings. The ends of the ears
should be especially well covered as
this also reduces the damage of tho
corn ear or cotton boil worm. Field
infested corn should be harvested
earlier than other corn. BY pulling II
with the shuck on many of the wee
wills may be removed. Such corn can
be fed very early or it may be placed
(after shucking) in a very tight bin
and treated with carbon bisulphide
to kill the weevils.
Carbon bisulphide is LIQUID which
passes into gas very quickly after
exposure. The gas is infiammable, so
keep lights and fires away. 1t is heav-
Ter than air, hence if shallow dishes
containing the liquid are set upon the
corn the gas formed will pass down
through the corn. II is necessary that
the gas come in direct contact with
the weevils for at least As minutes to
kill them. This makes it necessary
to use one pound of carbon bisulphide
for every 100 cubic feet Of space in
tight bin, but if it is slightly open the
amount to use should be two and one
half to three times as much. This
fumigating should be done on warm,
still day, as the weevil begins to hi
bernate at a temperature slightly
below 20 degrees Fahrenheit. All
buildings so treated should be well
ventilated "a to 4S hours after fllmiga-
ton. There is no danger of injuring
the termination of the corn, prcvid-
ed 1t is dry. even by using still great
er amounts than mentioned above
