The organization. with which all
shipping interests are affiliated. forms
central clearing house for market

Government Nitrate of Soda
(By Gordon G. Brown

For the benefit of those who ordered
nitrate of soda from the u. S. govern
ment the writer issues the following
information. 1t is hoped that those
who are disappointed in not having re-
ceived the fertilizer NAV not be preju-
diced in their views. but form their
conclusions on the basis of facts gov
ernng the matter.
We wish to recall that the conditions
under which these orders were accept.
ed were very indefinite. From advices
received from the government it was
still undecided whether a Pacific sea-
port would be chosen in preference to
an Atlantic seaport. The Importance
of this point is obvious. not only in the
light of freight rates, but also date of
delivery. A Pacific seaport would have
been chosen if the tonnage ordered
warranted such choice. Just what that
tonnage might be was never suggested.
A circular letter setting forth all the
details Of the sale known to US was
mailed, at considerable expense, to all
growers in the valley. That the gov
ernment might not accept such orders
or guarantee delivery at such time in
dicated in such applications was made
plain to all.
Obviously it was question for the
grower himself to decide. whether to
order from the government with the
idea of securing cheaper nitrate and
take his chances on prompt delivery, or
place his order elsewhere. Those who
placed such orders through myself, act.
ing as chairman of the committee
authorized to accept such applications,
made their own choice. No influence
was brought to bear upon them to so
order, except as stated above. Most
of the applications received stipulated
March delivery.
Briefly, the applications were for
warded promptly to Washington, DC,
by registered letter. The Importance
of early delivery was repeatedly en-
phasized. To date the applications
have never been acknowledged. A tel
egram sent availed nothing. Neither
the state leader at Corvallis nor myself
have received satisfaction from re-
peated inquiry. Naturally, insdvising
growers to place their orders elsewhere
rather than await further "red tape"
we took the only course open to US.
No one regrets the failure to secure
this fertilizer more than |. We assure
the grower, however, that it is no fault
of our own. We believe that other
plans made to secure this nitrate will
enable the grower to get this fertilizer
in time for its most efficient use.
Growers who desire to communicate
with me will please note the change in
my telephone from 5767 to 2782.

team. A very pleasant evening was
spent and a Hoover" luncheon was
served.
The Junior class gave party to the
Sophomores and Freshmen on Friday
evening of last week. Games and
dancing were the features of the
evening. Like true followers of Hoo
verism, no eats were served.
The Junior Red Cross held their

Chris Ranley Makes Apology

Impassioned curses directed against
the food administration by Chris Ran
ley, an aged citizen of German parent
age, brought swift castigation and an
apology.
The old man entered the Kaesser
grocery store and ordered from Cecil
Latferty a bag of flour. He was told
that he would have to purchase an
equal amount of substitutes. Ranley
said he did not want any substitutes,
and the grocer explained the food ad-
ministration ruling. Chas. N. Clarke,
occupying an adjoining store, opened
the grocery door just as Ranley said /.
Damn such a government. As he
grasped the situation, Mr.. Clarke
silently collared the old man, asking
him what he said. Ranley endeavored
to explain that they did not use substi-
tutes at his home. The Tightening
grasp of the druggist soon ended his
pickering and he apologized.

ADVICE ON SPRAY
ING PEARS GIVEN

Leroy Childs, superintendent of the
experiment station, states that apple
tree sprays should not be applied for
about three weeks. The station man,
however, states that growers should
begin, within a week or 10 days, to
spray pear trees for blister mites.
Lime sulphur or miscible oil is rec
commended for the mite. The mite, to
be killed, must be attacked before the
buds are out.
Mr.. Chids recommends the follow
ing respective proportions for spray
solutions Lime-sulphur, one to 10;
oil, six to 100.

NEW REVENUE BILL
STRIKES LODGES

Under the new bill, where the dues or
fees are more than $l2 per annum a
revenue charge of 10 per cent will be
made. The law affects fraternal and
social organizations. Under the ruling
the tax must be paid by the member
of the organization paying the fees.
The ruling is not fully understood by
those who have received letters from
Milton A. Miller, Portland internal
revenue collector, and letters have
been written to Mr.. Miller asking if
the fees, when less than the $l2 mini
mum, are exempt.

MUST USE LESS SUGAR;
ALLIED NEEDS GROW
Americans Asked to Use No More Than
Two Pounds Per Person
/: Per Month.
Shortage May Last Until Beginning of 1919,
When New Sugar Crop Arrives.

The sugar supplies throughout the
country, in homes, stores, factories and
bakeries, are at low ebb; the produc-
tion from the American beet and
Louisiana cane crops have been disap-
pointing; the yield in Porto Rico has
likewise been smaller than anticipat-
ed, and the inability of the United
States and the Allies to secure sugar
from Java and other distant sources
on account of the imperative call for
ships for the movement of troops and
their supplies has materially reduced
the supply from such quarters. Added
to this already difficult situation, the
quantity needed by the Army and
Navy greatly exceeds earlier esti-
mates; we must send a large amount
to France and Italy to take the place
of the great volume lost through the
German and Austrian inVasions, dur
Ing which much beet land was over
run and many factories destroyed; we
have to supply certain quantities to
neutral nations under agreements; and
finally over fifty million pounds were
lost recently through submarine sink
ings off our Atlantic coast.
The Food Administration is conf
dent that the american people, with
the record of wheat savings behind 1t,

Fulton County tribune. (Wauseon, Ohio) 1883-1925, 1918-08-16

After making careful survey of the
world sugar situation the U. S. Food
Administration has asked the Ameri-
can public to USE NO MORE THAN
TWO POUNDS OF SUGAR PER PER
SON A MONTH until January 1, 1919.
Increased sugar demands from the
Allied nations-where the present sug-
ar ration is already reduced to the
lowest possible level-and the need Of
keeping our army and navy supplied
are two of the leading causes of the
curtailment of Americas sugar ration.
Americans are requested to make
two pounds of sugar per person (half
q pound a week. serve for all sugar
uses in the Notwithstanding cook
ing and all sugar served at the table.
Public eating places, as well as
housewives, will be required to limit
their use of sugar to two pounds for
every ninety meals served. In the
U. s. Food Administrations cafeteria
at Washington, where employees of the
Food Administration take their noon
meal. one pound of sugar is used for
every 12O meals served.
The U. S. Food Administration is
confident that the American public will
heartily agree to reduce household use
Of sugar here to level more nearly
equal to the present restrictions
among the Allied nations.
