TO SAVE

Maj. Gen. George w. Goethals,
chief of the division of purchase,
storage and traffic of the general staff
OF the army. has commissioned Ar.
thur A. Hammerschlag, president of
the Carnegie Institute. and Lieut.. Col.
j. w. Mcintosh, subsistence division,
q. NJ. c.. n. A., to cooperate with
the Chicago packers in experiments
which may saw up to 40 per cent of
the tremendous cargo space now re-
CURED for shipping fresh beef.
The experiments contemplate the
conservation of shipping space and
the problem of having the packages
small enough to be handled by the
class of labor available at unloading
ports overseas and quick and conven-
lent issue at supply depots in France.
They range from the mere cutting
of the carcass into more convenient
sizes and shapes to the entire boning
of the carcass to be packed in boxes.
1t is estimated that if the pans prove

per cent of the room now used in
transporting the same amount of beef
will be made possible. Since fresh
beef constitutes a considerable part
of some $50. O0O, 900 pounds of beef
and pork products now en- monthly
to allied countries, the saving by the
new method may prove to be consid-
cradle if found practical. The bones
and surplus fats salvaged by the OF
Grafton will be converted into vari-
Gus by-products.
The chief difficulties encountered 80
far have been the necessity of obtain
ing enough labor sufficiently skilled
in this particular work and the pro-
viding Of facilities necessary to ham
die the quantities required without in
terfering with production of other
meat products being prepared for our
armies and those of u allies.

South Dakota leads the nation in
the percentage of crop production for
1918. This is the report of the L. S.
Department of Agriculture for Au-
gust. We are credited with 1898 per
cent, while the nearest next is 1871
per cent, the third 1881 per cent and
a few over 100 per cent. We can
thank the fortunate conditions of this
great mid-temperate zone climate
that our staple foods have been able
to grow to such perfection and in
such profusion. We are given the
great pleasure Of answering up to
the call for foods in the stress of the
worlds needs. Our state makes a
grander record than any other, and
we can feel correspondingly proud

DO IT THE FIRST DAY

DO it the first day" must be the
slogan of Brookings county citizens
if this county is to rank high in this
district in the matter of subscribing
to the Fourth Liberty Loan. The
history of previous drives shows that
the matter of raising a county's sub
scription depends largely upon doing
it just as soon as the campaign be-
gins. This taken in connection with
the chance to have a war ship named
for the county. gives an added incen-
tive to get busy on the first day. Let
no stone be unturned or effort spared
in making this coming Saturday a
red letter day in the history of the
county, as we'll as the n red letter
day in the Fourth Liberty Loan.

How to Purchase Your
Nitrate of Soda for 1918

Nitrate of soda contains about Is per
cent nitrogen. Nitrogen is absolutely
essential for the proper development of
plants as it is the essential element that
develops plant growth. Nitrogen from
nitrate of soda is very readily available,
At the present method of disposal, by
the government it is the cheapest form of
nitrogen that the farmer can buy. Nitrate
of soda costs $3.50 per ton plus the
freight and State fertilizer fee which
very seldom exceeds SIS, 90 per ton. The
minimum cost of a ton of nitrate of soda
as found in any commercial fertilizer
costs $4,000 per ton. Hence, there is a
saving of at least $1,000 per ton by buy
ing the nitrate of soda through the gov
eminent.
Rules governing the sale of nitrate of
soda as passed by an act of Congress are
as follows:
l. No nitrate will be sold to dealers.
Nitrate will be sold to farmers only and
for cash at cost.
2. Every effort will be made to ship
nitrate of soda to each farmer from the
post most convenient to him so as to
make the freight charge as small as pos
sible
8. Farmers desiring to purchase nj
trate of soda must file their application
with the county agricultural agent. He
will provide application blanks for this
purpose.
4. All nitrate will be shipped in 200
pound bags.
5. All applications must be signed in
duplicate and must reach the county ag-
ricultural agent by Feb. 4, 1918.

SEIZURE OF HOUSEWIVES
FOOD STOCKS IMPOSSIBLE

The government has never consid-
cred any plan of Selling foodstuffs
owned by houSeholders. Nor is there
any policy of this kind suggested for
the future.
In spite of this fact, the United
States food administration has been
obliged repeatedly to issue official de-
malls of rumors that the government
intends communicating preserves and
canned goods put up in American
homes
These rumors We're originated partly
by pro-German propagandists and part
ly by constituencies grafterS, who
sought to profit through buying from
misinformed housewives.
The year 1918 will see home canning
and preserving practiced on greater
scale than ever before in the nations
history, officials in Washington believe
And they are assuring all patriotic
housewives that foods so saved are
theirs. and theirs alone.
