Here's to the blue Of the wind

When we meet on the fields of

May the Spirit of Grant be with

And here's to the Gray of the sun

When we meet on the fields of

May the Spirit of Lee be with you

And here's to the Blue and Gray

May the Spirit of God be with us

tatoes shall not be counted in the
yield, but must be thrown out be-
fore the potatoes are weighed.
The purpose in offering these
prizes is to induce farmers to grow
larger and more profitable crops Of
corn and potatoes and especially to
make Delaware as famous for its
seed corn as it ever was for its
peaches. There is no better place
in the world than Delaware to pro-
duce fine seed corn. There is al
ways an extra profit in growing
corn for seed, as well tested
varieties are always in demand. 1t
is hoped that many farmers in
each County will compete for these
prizes.

The confidence Of the United
States Food Administration that
the people of the country would re-
spond enthusiastically and whole
heartedly upon presentation OF the
facts to any necessary requests TOT
reduction ir consumption OF tood
has been. fully justified. We have
demonstrated our ability not only
to think together but to act to-
pether. This response of the peo-
nile is the reason for the present
appeal. r,
Our work is not yet complete. In
spite of the encouraging results OF
our efforts, in spite of the fact that
our exports of food stuffs are con-
stantly increasing and we are ap-
preaching the minimum require
ments abroad, the need for renew
ed devotion and effort is pressing.
While all of the requirements OF
the Food Administration should be
constantly observed, there are GER
tain matters which | desire to
stress at this time.
In the case of meat and meat
products the necessities for snip
ment abroad are very great.
Whereas the allied consumption
has been reduced to an average OF
about one one-quarter pounds per
person per week, we are today en-"
loving an average of about three
and one-quarter pounds per person
per week. This division is in
equitable. An understanding OF
these facts will justify our request
that the consumption of all meats
including poultry, as nearly as
possible, be reduced to two pounds
per week per person over four
years of age.
In the case of sugar we are en-
barrassed by the necessity OF u.s.
ing ships for carrying our soldiers
and feeding the Allies and in con-
sequence we must use sugar with
great economy.
We must emphasize the import
ance of canning and preserving on

Gathering DandeliOns

Gather dandelion leaves for food
in the early part of the season; the
young leaves are more tender, keep
their color better, and have a bet
ter flavor than the old ones.
Choose those grown in shady
places, in so far as possible, since
they are less bitter than those ex-
posed to bright sunshine. Cut
dandelion green's; do not pull them
because when leaves are pulled,
the crown, which tops the root and
has an exceedingly good flavor, is
lost. Discard the imperfect out
side leaves at the time of gather
ing.

Cleaning Greens

Clean the greens thoroughly by
plunging them into a deep pan or

send a Committee who shall select
not less than five hundred hills, or
the equivalent in length of row, in
different parts of the field, which
shall be a fair average of the five
acres. These selected hills shall
then be cut and the corn shocked
and sealed in the presence of the
Committee. When the corn is ready
to husk the Committee shall be
notified and shall then husk and
weigh the corn and take a sample
of thirty-five pounds and forward
it to the State Board Of Agricul-
ture. The prizes will be awarded
on the basis Of the amount dry,
merchantable, shelled corn.
The experience Of the past shows
that three or four things are need
full to produce a large crop Of corn
in Delaware. First, the corn should
be we'll bred variety of long
growing season; second, the
ground must be we'll prepared and
fertile; third, the corn must be
given thorough, frequent and shall

should be as nearly perfect as pos.
sible in regular spaces, and about

Instructions Furnished by the

Sailing is a convenient way of

Packing Greens

Pack the greens Immediately in
containers with alternate layers of
salt. Use one pound of salt to each
10 or II pounds of greens, cover
ing each 8 or 4 inch layer with a
thin sprinkling of salt. Add any
salt left to the top layer of greens,
cover the top with a layer of horse
radish leaves or with double
thickness of cheesecloth. Place an
inverted plate on top, and weight
it with a clean stone. In case the
contents of the jar are not covered
in 36 or 40 hours with the liquid
drawn out of the leaves, add suffi-
Gent 10 percent salt brine (made
in the proportion of p puond of
salt to l gallon of water) to fill
the container. If desired, use
brine in preference to dry salt.
Pack the green's in the jar, add a
10 percent salt solution (made in
the proportion of p pound of salt
to l gallon Of water), and weigh
the contents as directed with dry
salt. Cover the jar with several
thicknesses of cloth or with a lid
of some sort to keep out dust and
insects, and store it in a cool, dark
place in an ordinary cellar. Elk
anime the jars once or twice a
week for several weeks following
the packing. In case the brine ap.
pears muddy draw it off, boil it
cool it, and pour it over the greens
again. This examination is often
neglected with apparently no un.
favorable results, but it is a wise
precaution to take.
Use of the Greens

four of the six not yet recorded are

WASHINGTON, Feb. H.
EENTLEMEN of the Congress:
On. the 9Th of January l ha !
the honor of addressing you on the
objects of the war as our people
conceive them. The Prime Minister
of Great Britain had spoken in
similar terms on the 5th of Janu-
ary. To these addresses the Ger
man Chancellor replied on the oath
and Count Czernin for Austria on
the same day.
It is gratifying to have our desire
so promptly realized that all ex-
changes of view on this great mat
ter should be made in the hearing
of all the world.
Count Czernin's reply, which is
directed chiefly to my own address
of the 9Th of January, is uttered in
a very friendly tone. He finds in
my statement sufficiently encour-
aging approach to the views of his
own government to justify him in
believing that it furnishes a basis
for more detailed discussion Ct
purposes by the two governments.
He is represented to have intimated
that the views he was expressing
had been communicated to me be-
forehand and that l was aware of
them at the time he was uttering
them; but in this l am sure he was
misunderstood; 1 had received no
intimation of what he intended to
say. There was, Of course, no rea-
son why he should communicate prt-
vately with me. l am quite oonten,
