I'VE must realize that the spectre OF
famine abroad now haunts the abund-
ance of our table at home. There are
conditions OF famine in Europe that will
be beyond our power to remedy. There
are 100000 people in north Russia to
whom l fear, but little access with food
can be obtained this winter.
Their transportation Is demoralized
In complete anarchy and soon many OF
their ports vii! be frozen even If inter
nal transport could be realized. / ex-
pect the most dreadful results of starva-
ton beyond all human power 70 allay.
ut is my desire that we should all
recognize that we have passed a great
milestone in the signing OF the armistice :;
that We must get upon the path of peace !:
that, therefore, we should begin at once
to relax the regulation and control meas
ures Of the Food Administration at every
point where they do not open a posi-
btlity OF profiteering and speculation
This we cannot and will not permit so
far as our abilities extend until the last
day that We have authority under the
law.
When we entered upon this work
eighteen months ago our trades were
rampant with speculation and profiteer-
Ing. This grew mainly from the utterly
insensate raids of Europe on our COM
mod!tles look now for n turn OF
American food trades toward conserva-
I tiv' and safe business. Because in this
period that copfronts us, with the de-
creased buying power OF our own people,
or uncertainty as to the progress of the
worlds politics. with the Government
control OF imports and exports. he would
be n foolish man indeed who to-day
started speculation in food.

On Torpedoed Transport.


Lieut.. Isaacs's story begins May 81.
when the big American transport Presi-
dent Lincoln was torpedoed in the North
Atlantic, is continued in a German sub
marine chased by American destroyers
and ends just about fortnight ago
when with Sub-Lieut Harold Willis of
Boston. n Harvard man and one of the
best known ffiers Of the Lafayette Esca-
drille. he swan the freezing waters OF the
Rhine and gained the hospitable banks
of Switzerland.
Isaacs comes into the story when, COM
ing to the surface OF the ocean after
the big transport went down, he crawled
up on a raft. Shortly afterward the
men on the raft were taken off by one
OF the liners lifeboats.
Ten minutes later the blunt nose Of
the submarine U-90 emerged close to
the boat and her commander ordered the
life craft to approach. He demanded
information about the captain of the
ship that he had just sunk Upon be-
ing told that so far as those in the boat
knew the captain had gone down with
his shin, the German ordered Isaacs to
come aboard the submarine and told him
| that II he couldn't find the liners cap
| tain he would take Isaacs to Germany
, in his place.

marine, II was now this young Amer
lean officers perhaps unique experience
to come near being blown up, and the
German C-boat as well. by American
destroyers on the second day after
the sinking of the President Lincoln the
German craft was sighted by two Amer
lean destroyers.
She submerged at top speed. Then
hoated several hours, in which the u
boat was exposed to the danger Of de-
struction, as the destroyers, circNng
about on the surface, dropped depth
charges. Five OF these charges exploded.
so Isaacs was told by the German COM
mander. within 800 yards OF the sub
merged craft.
While he was on the submarine Lieut..
Isaacs said that he was treated very
well. that no animosity was d!splay0l
toward him by either officers or mer.
even at the moment when the Ameri-
can deetroyers were epdeavoring TO sink
the submarine.
He messed with the officers whose
principal topic OF conversation wIs
that they could not understand why the
| United States entered the war. Capt.
| Remy. the commander OF U-90 told
Isaacs there was no doubt the only
reason was that the United States had
leaned so mucn money to the Allies
that she was compelled 10 enter the
war in order to insure being repaid.

cape as the submarine Was passing

limbs that, are to be, taken off should
be. cut closely to the main stem. which
facilitates rapid healing, and if the
wounds are so large that they will NOT
heal completely in one season they
should be protected by applications OF
whitehead paint, grating wax or
preparation of one-third creosote and
two-thirds coal tar. -...
In removing limbs from pecan trees
in no case should stubs be left on the
tree, says the bulletin. A sharp saw
should be used and the cut made prac-
tically flush with the body Of the. tree.
This permits the wounds to heal in
the shortest length of time and leaves
no surface or pocket for the collection
Of water. which favors the rapid devel-
opment of the fungi. In removing a
large limb 1t is necessary to first cut
ii off several feet from the tree and
then remove the stub properly. If the
cut is made flush with the body of the
tree in the first instance 1t is usually
impossible to prevent the weight of
the limb from tearing part of the wood
and bark below 1t. In top-working
pecans cuts should be made with suffi-
cient slope to prevent water collecting
on the stubs and some waterproof MAJ
terial should be applied. In, extreme
cases when rot has gained entrance, to
the heart of the tree the rotted wood
y can be cleaned ont and PROTECTION
given which will save the tree.
AS rule the wounds made by the
removal of small limbs do not need to

the tree covers them rapidly.The most
desirable compound to protect large
wounds issone which dlsinfects the cut

least injury to the tissues. The prep
aration which best fills these require

is one made with creosote and coal tar.
After wound is made 1t should be
left until it Is dry and then thoroughly
coated with some protective substance,
which should be renewed as often as
is necessary for complete protection.
Prompt care Of all wounds on pecans
will amply repay the grower by insur-
ing for him sound, disease-free trees.
