FARMERs BOUND TO WIN.

The record of farmers last year.,
made in the face of obstacles, is ground
for confidence on their part that with
equal application and organization
they can overcome the difficulties this
year, according to Secretary Houston.
Unquestionably there will be difficult
ties to surmount-difficultieS in re-
spect to labor and in respect to fer
t~ilizers, both as to price and quantity.
Prices of farm machinery, also, with
other things, have risen. In some re-
spects the farm-labor situation may
not be quite SO difficult as last year, al
though it will continue to be especially
acute in certain sections of the coun
try. The environments have been built
and there will not be a renewal of ur-
gent demands in many sections for
labor for such work. The draft regu-
lations provide for the deferred CLASH
fcation of skilled farm labor. The
population of the country has in
creased somewhat within the past
year. The secretary of war has asked
congress for power to furlough sol
diers of the National army for agri-
cultural service if necessary.

Gardeners, fall ini
A call for more food from Americas
gardens, both the commercial and the
home plots, is contained in the de-
partment of agriculture's agricultural
production program for 1918, recently
announced. This is what the program
says to the gardeners:
Market gardens near large consum-
ing centers should be increased sc as
to meet as nearly a possible the
needs of the community and in order
to obviate the necessity of transport
ing such products from distant points.
1t is important to do all that is pos
sible to relieve the strain upon trans
portation facilities.
/, The planting of home gardens, es-
pecially for family needs and for pre-
serving foods for future use, again
should be emphasized.
The commercial production of per-
Ishables generally should be increased
above normal wherever it is reason
ably clear that transportation and mar
keting facilities will be favorable.
Last year the production of perish
ables is estimated to have been SO per
cent greater than normal. Notwith-
standing the large output, the market

ASKS Sc, ooo, 900 TO BUY SEED.

The secretary of agriculture has
asked congress for an appropriation
of S6,0O0,0 900 to enable the department
of agriculture to buy and sell seed to
farmers at cost at a reasonable price.
1t is the purpose of the department,
if the sum suggested is made avail
able, to take immediate steps to Sc
cure, test, and store at least a portion
of the supply of these seeds that will
be needed for this season. The seed
will be sold to farmers only for cash
at a reasonable price and it is provid-
ed that the fund may be used as a re-
volving fund until the secretary Of
agriculture determines that the emer-
gency contemplated by the appropria-
ton no longer exists. Under the cir
cumstances it is believed that it will
be possible to return to the treasury
the entire amount appropriated or at
least the greater portion of it.

pecially the state agricultural col
leges, to bring about the planting of
more wal gardens, to see that they are
maintained throughout the season, and
to insure the prompt consumption or

ishables produced in these gardens or
otherwise. More effective assistance
also will be rendered in the market

KEEP UP BIG POTATO CROP
ADVISE U. S. SPECIALISTS

The normal acreage Of Irish
and sweet potatoes should be
maintained in 1918 notwithstand-
ing the large crops in 1917, the
department of agriculture be-
lieves. This is especially true
in view of the necessity of re-
leasing more wheat for export.
Potatoes, both Irish and sweet,
are the most popular and most
generally used of the ~perishable
stable crops. The department,
through it's extension and publi-
cation activities, is encouraging
their greater use, especially the
use of the Irish potato, as a par
tiaI substitute for wheat in
bread-making.
The yield per acre can be
made more certain by greater
attention to the selection of dis
ease-free potatoes of good vari-
cites, by treatment of seed pota-
toes Immediately before plant
ing, and by the S of sprays to
prevent loss from blight.
