Labor and Expense.
Richmond, Jan. 24.-R. Walto,
Moore, Of Fairfax, represented ths
Virginia Council Of Defense, Of which
he is member, at . national con
ference held last week in Washing.
ton, under the auspices OF the Coun.
Gil Of National Defense, to consider
again the matter Of limiting the ae'
livery of merchandise in cities anc
towns SO as to conserve labor anG
expense.
The Commercial Economy Boarc
regards this question as of great i'm
portance. Through Mr.. Moore q com.
municaSion has been addressed to the
Virginia Council Of Defense urging
increased effort to bring ali the re-
tail merchants Of the state into line
with the national program.
In his report Mr.. Moore states that
he believes there is q great deai 10
he saved in the direction indicated
and suggests that it would be well 20
urge that closer attention be given
the matter by all !the commercial
bodies in the State and individual
business men, and also to try to get
the governing bodies OF the cis:ss
and towns to become interested in
encouraging and promoting a curtail-
ment and shnpifcation of delivery
work.
It is pointed out III q statement
from the Council OF Defense today
that the recommendations for re-
lluced delivery service are now in ef-
feet, either as whole or III part, IN
cities and towns throughout the cour-
try which have g total pr1pulatlon q
more than "a millions: Eighty cities
have already gone to one delivery q
day. Nearly as many have restricted
special deliveries and the return goods
and C. o. D. privilege. And anout ITO
towns now have cooperation de-
1iveries systems. The savings OF Ia
Dor have been large. The eo-opeTs-
tive systems alone have commonly
saved 50 to so per cent.
Great care hes been taken not %

WHEAT IN THIS STATE
CAN BE SAVED FROM RUST

Many people do not understand what
causes rust that destroys our wheat
crops. There is special agent sent
out from the Agricultural College
whose business it is to tell the farm.
ers and the townspeople how they
can prevent this rust. It doesn't
seem hard if understood and if d.
rections are followed closely this
year it will be done for good.
The barberry bush that causes the
rust is not plant that grows wild
IN this state. 1t has been planted
chiefly as hedge. There are tags
furnished for people to use to tag
these bushes wherever they are found.
The low spreading Japanese bar
berry bush is not attacked by rust, it
should not be dug up. The way to dis
tinguish the rust breeding bush is by
its needle-like projections from the
leaves and by the three thorns at the
base of the leaves on the stem of the
plant.
1t has just recently been learned
that this plant is the cause of rust
and great effort is being put forth
to save all the wheat from this great
evil. Join in the hunt for the bar
berry bush and help to destroy it,

The first sad news OF this war to

some time in a hospital recovering,
and when we'll was returned to the
front where he gave up his life.
Sunday the flags were at half mast
at Coleharbor in honor of their first
soldier to die for his country. It
brought the terribleness of the war
to them as nothing has before. Louis
had lived in Coleharbor a couple of
years and worked in a garage as a
machanic and was we'll liked by ev-
eryone. His parents live at Vergas,
Minnesota.
Coleharbor expects to dedicate their
service flag in short time, and now

HARVESTED
FARMERS HOARDED WHEAT

william Deerlng, farmer living
near Amanda, Ohio, declared that the
United States government had no
right to tell him what he should do
with his wheat. Deering had an ac-
cumulation of four crops on hand, ap
proximately 5000 bushels. About
500 bushels from the 1914 and 1915
crops is musty and infested with wee
vii and probably unfit for human con-
sumption. Nearly 1000 bushels from
the 1917 crop remained unthreshed.
Deering had ignored the nationwide
appeal made by Herbert Hoover, U.
S food administrator, to all farmers
to market their wheat in order to
help feed the soldiers and our allies.
When representatives from the food
administration called on Mr.. Deering
and requested him to thresh his
wheat and voluntarily bring it to mar.
ket, he refused, whereupon his supply
was requisitioned under authority IT
the Food Control Act of August 10,
1917.
Within half hour the requisition
notice had been served on Deering,
arrangements were made by the food
administration with local threshermen,
to begin at once the threshing Of
behring's 1917 wheat and steps taken
to get the 1916 crop and that part
of the 1917 crop already threshed.
hauled to market.
1t is probably the first threshing bee
ever conducted by the government.
1t is the first case in Ohio where it
has been necessary for the food ad-
ministrator to invoke the full author
ity of the act, authorizing the CON-
Wandering of wheat.
Deering was. offered at one time as
nigh as $3.50 q bushel for his wheat
The food administration grain corpor-
alton will pay him the government
price at the elevator, which is $2.G5
a bushel, for his grade of wheat. Dis
position Of the 1914 and 1915 wheat.
which is very musty and probably
unfit for milling, is held in abeyance
Farmers from the neighborhood
came to help in the threshing. One
man aged rs years, who had been fol-
lowing threshing for nearly 40 years,
said this was his first time to thresh
wheat in May. The ground was too
wet for planting corn which enabled
farmers to help Uncle Sam on the job
with little Inconvenience TO themse!-
yes. Except in cases where they
owed Deering for work, they will be
paid out of the money deducted from
the wheat.
There was a steady stream of wheat
wagons to the elevator at Amanda.
The government agents arranged for
the voluntary marketing Of several car
loads, in addition to that requisitioned
en- Deering's place. One farmer held
1900 bushels, and another approx
mately 1000 bushels. BY the first Of
June, practically every: bushel Of
wheat, except enough for home con-
sumption and seed In that vicinity,
will. be in the market and on the way
10 the seaboard to be shipped to: the
soldiers at the front and our associ-
ates in the war on. the other side. .;
