State Prohibition Commissioner w.
S. Hallanan is sending out letters to
food administrators in all counties of
the State soliciting their cooperation
in the effort of his department to stop
the practice of foreign-born citizens in
annually making up at this season large
quantities of wine. Commissioner
Hallanan raises the point that use OF
sugar and fruits for this purpose comes
under the restriction Of the Hoover ad-
ministration for conservation of foods.
The commissioner is interested in en-
forcement of the State liquor laws and
expects the food administration to show
their interest in preventing waste oil
sugar and fruits.

Uses of Potatoes In Sweden.

Uses made of Swedish potato crop,
officially estimated this year at S4,244,-
$40 bushels, will be interesting to peO-

rect human consumption; 32.7 per cent
Is fed to animals, and 6.5 per cent Is
used in -four making. The loss In
storage is 1l.0 per cent and Ills per
cent Is retained for seed.

At Least 100 Hens For Every Farm.

At Least 100 Hens FOR Every ro'
In its campaign to increase the pro-
duction of food along every possible
line the Food Administration, in con-
junction with the Department OF Ag-
riculture, has turned its attention to
augmenting the output of poultry and
eggs. 1t would hardly occur to the
casual observer that there are thou
sands of farms in America so busy
with the big things of agriculture that
the lowly hen is entirely overlooked
There are farms that produce thousands
of bushels Of grain, that buy their but
ter, eggs and poultry, where the mar
vested fields would give food for many
chickens if properly CLEANED.
In the campaign to rehabilitate the
poultry yard the department has taken
for its slogan: "On every farm, 100
hens" and adds:
"There should be 100 hens on every
farm in the United States, and we
should obtain 100 eggs year from
every hen. With approximately 6,OOO,-
600 farms that would mean 600,0O0,0O0
hens and 6O,OOO,oO0,OOO eggs per year,
according to the calculations of the
writer's, who then add that that number
of eggs constitutes a military resource
not to be ignored.
zone hundred hens on every farm is
not a particularly big contract. There
is hardly farm in the United States
but could support that number OF hens
virtually on the waste materials and
without large added cost. One hun
dred hens to a farm is considerably
less than the average number in many
of the better poultry-producing Sec
tions of the country. 1t is an average
that could easily be maintained in the
section of the country where the aver
age per farm is now lower.
"One hundred eggs from every hen,
while far below what could be obtained
with proper encouragement Of fowls, is
considerably more than the average egg
production the country over"
AS to the desirability Of the hen over
other poultry, the department says:
Chickens in any general scheme
Of poultry production, Of course, must
take first place. They are best adapt
ed to general conditions, take wider
range of feed and convert them, per-
haps with the greatest margin of profit.
Chickens, better than any other class
of poultry, utilize table scraps and the
general run of waste from the kitchen
door, all the way from apple and pota-
to parings to sour milk.
Chickens far surpass all other kinds
of poultry in salvaging waste grain
from the stables, from the shed or lot
where the cattle are fed, and from hog
pens. During the winter months on
farms where any considerable number
of live stock are kept, the hens would
take their living from these sources
with only slight additional feeding from
time to time.
Chickens are great destroyers Of
insects, including many injurious
forms, in yard, pasture and orchard.
They utilize also many grasses and
weeds and seeds that would otherwise
be of no use. Except in isolate in
stances, the part of wisdom would be
undoubtedly, to keep more chickens
than all other kinds Of poultry COM
bined, but there should be in a ma
jority of cases, some Of all the other
common kinds of poultry"

Shoes and Ships
And Sealing Wax
IF I,

IF!
If all the tales of anarchy
That come across from Germany
Were true; If poor old Kaiser Bill
We're lame and halt and blind and i'll
Each time that rumor so asserts,
How soon we'd get our just deserts
And "Deutschland" from the maps erase
To write "deleted" in its place.
But ON the other hond-
If all that German papers say
About the sad, disheartcned way
We're taking up this war were true;
If all the CHASTITY lies they spew
In their "official" brag and blow
Should ever prove one-quarter so,
We'd soon be standing stiff in line
While bands played loud, "Die Wacht
am Rhein"
The Kaiser's phghted promise
and the Hindeaaburg line are not M
like. Both apparently a0ere made to
be brohcem agoim and again.
The Court of Special Sessions in
Brooklyn yesterday administered JUS
tlce to Charles Murphy and John H
McCooey. Democratic loiterers in the
building, who came close to heart fail
ure when they first heard the names of
the prisoners, were cheered up consid-
erably when they learned that it wasn't
The McCooey or The Murphy. Thus
comforted, they experienced no emotion
whatever when McCooey was sent to
jail for petty larceny and Murphy, who
was charged with idling, was held for
further hearing on September %.
"Save that stroao hat until
spring." advises an evening paper.
TO as IN our present and prospec-
the financial state, this seems de-
Nberote acaste Of paper.
Fresh proof is coming in every day
that the person who said that he didn't
care who made the laws of the nation,
so long as he could write the songs, was
equipped with rare discernment.
Up through the crowds of Longacre
Square yesterday came a quartet Of
seamen, tanned and husky, walking arm
in arm and chanting loudly, We're all
going calling on the Kaiser to fit him
with a kimono of wood"
Old men gripped their canes the
tighter and a reflection of former
CLEAN seemed to burn again in their
eyes. One could not help feeling the
heart tug toward the path of duty. 1t
was the song that did it, though no one
is ever going to call the words immor-
tai verse.
