STRICTER FOOD
ECONOMY MUST
BE PRACTICED
WILL BE MADE MANDATORY BY
NEW LAWS WHICH WERE IN
TRoDUcED IN BOTH HOUSES,
AND ASSURED EARLY PASSAGE.

Washington, Jan. 15.-Stricter food
economy will be required of the Amer
lean people by new laws put in the
making today in congress. Wheatless
and meatless days and other econo-
mics necessary that America may and
would become mandatory by law, in
stead of voluntary as At present. Bills
were introduced in both houses as ap-
proved by Hoover, and are expected
TO pass promptly
In the senate, the administration bill
was introduced by Pomerene and in
the house, by Chairman Lever, of the
agriculture committee, who explained
its provisions, saying: Food situa-
tion the world over is acute and the
demands upon us are growing each
day. With the disrupted labor situa-
ton, production Is approaching the
maximum and the vital question there
fore is one of conservation of food
stuffs. We must strike at the waste
evil The bill is especially aimed at
hotels, restaurants, dining cars and
public eating places. In such estab-
lishments, I should think, probably
fifty per cent of the food of the coun-
try consumed, and IL is in such places
we find the greatest waste. We hope
also in this bill to see that all classes
OF people, rich or poor, are treated
alike

AERO CLUB PLANS TO ELIMINATE
HUMAN FACTOR TO "ENLIGHT-
EN- THE BEFUDDLED GERMAN
SOLDIERS.v
Especial to The JournaI.)

New York, jan 15.-Following the
receival here of a despatch from Lon
Don stating that Germany had declar-
ed that she would treat as spies and
condemn to death all allied aviators
catured while dropping copies of
President Wilson's message to Con-
gress among the German forces in the
field, a meeting of balloon experts was
held al the Aero Club of America and
a scheme devised whereby the human
factor become unnecessary in "en-
tightening the befuddIed German SOL
diers."
At the meeting were present Alan r.
Hawley. president of the Aero Club,
Henry woodhouse, vice president and
member of the Board of Governors,
Ralph H. Epson, r. A D. Preston,
who piIoted the balloon which won the
international balloon race in 1915, and
Augustus T. Post, who in 1910 accom-
panied Mr.. Hawley in balloon trip
which started from St. Louis and end
ed in the wilds of Canada after ing
in the air forty-six hours
The consensus of opinion of these
experts, who have had experience with
all types of aircraft, is that President
Wilson's message can best be distrib-
uted among the Germans by using
small free balloons, tying between 100
and 1000 copies of the address to each
balloon and setting il free.
The allies have a great number OF
these small balloons, which they in
fate with hydrogen and send out in
great number each day to determine
the direction of air currents in con-

SENATOR PARK TRAMMEL MAX
ING EFFORT TO HAVE DEPART
MENT OF AGRICULTURE PART
APPROPRIATION FOR PURPOSE.

Washington, d. C., Jan. 15-Senator
Park Trammel is making an effort to
get the Department of Agriculture to
declare available and put into imme =
diate use for Florida farmers, a part
of the appropriation made at the last
session of Congress which appropria-
ton was for the purpose of supplying
seed to farmers at cost.
Senator Trammel addressed a let
ter to the department on yesterday and
today made a personal call on Sec
retary Houston in regard to the mat
ter and urged that favorable action
be taken. 1t was urged upon the de-
partment that there was need for
prompt action in the matter owing
to the fact that some of the early
vegetable crops of Florida truck farm
ers have been killed by the recent cold
snaps.
The senator was advised that a verv
large part of the appropriation had al
ready been used but that his request
would be given very careful and ser
ious consideration.

SPRAYING TIME
HAS ARRIVED

Spraying time has arrived and ev-
cry farmer who has an orchard
should do some spraying next week.
It pays to spray. Spraying is an
insurance for the orchard. Spraying
increases the value Of fruit from
so to 100 per cent. There are quite
a number of diseases of the fruits
that can not be controlled except by
spraying. Unless, we spray our
fruit we are running the risk of
losing it.
Fruit is the most healthful food
one can eat; the doctors will tell
you that. Fruit will cut down our
grocery bill also. There is nothing
better than canned peaches on the
shelf in the pantry, enough to. last
the year round.

spraying all the orchards of the
county, that is, I meal to assist
every one who call on me for assist
ance.

dar for peaches and apples.
