SPIRIT OF U. S.
Sacrifice to Ensure Allied Loaf
Greatest Single Food
Achievement.
SUFFICIENT SUPPLY NOW.
All the Nations Will Be Able to Re
turn to Their Normal Sup
ply of White
Bread.
SUFFICIENT SUPPLY NOW.

Overshadowing all other accomplish
ments of the American people under
the leadership of Food Administration
Is the history of wheat exports In the
past sixteen months Our wheat eX-
port program proved conclusively to
the world that America was in this
war from start to finish and willing to
make any sacrifice that will hasten
victory or maintain. the health and
strength Of people overseas, upon
whom rested the heaviest weight of
our war.
Now that pressure on ocean tonnage
is eased by the stopping of large move
ments of troops to Europe, we may re-
lax our efforts to save wheat. The &C
cumulated surplus in Australia Argen-
tine and other hitherto inaccessible
markets will become available, and
probably no more than our normal sur
plus will have to leave this country.
We in America and the nations which
have won the world for freedom will
be enabled to eat their normal wheat
loaf at the common table of the peo-
pies of democracy.
We entered the past crop year with
a wheat supply which gave us only
100000 bushels available for ex-
port When the crop year ended, we
had sent al 100000 bushels of wheat
to Europe. The American people had
saved out of their normal consumption
121, 100000 bushels.
A I'D
that the conservation of -four brought
about by the wheatless meals, wheat
less days, substitution in our kitchens
and bakeries, enabled us to send to
our armies and the allies 100000
barrels of white fiour-wheat figured
as -four Had we exported only our
visible surplus, we would have been
able to ship less than 100000 barrels.
Before the LIST of December our sur
plus had gone overseas, and an addi-
tional 100000 bushels had been TAX
en- from the stock reserved for home
consumption and added to the surplus
already shipped to the allies. 1t SEEM
ed hardly possible that we could bring
our total exports above 1O0O0O,000
BUSHELS ny july l.. DuI IL, JduudIy CuC
late Lord Rhondda, then British Food
Controller, cabled that unless we
could send an additional 100000
bushels he could not take RESPONSE
bility for assuring his people that they
would be fed The American people
responded by sending 100000 bush
els of wheat, saved from their home
consumption, between the first Of the
year and the advent of the new crop.
By october TO- 1918, we had already
shipped 65,96O,3O5 bushels since July
i. Absolutely the only limitation upon
{ our wheat exports since the latest har-
vest has been the scarcity Of ocean
tonnage If exports continue at the
present rate, by July Of next year
we will have sent more than 237 ,500,-
600 bushels to Europe.
Thus are we making good Americas
pledge that the bread rations of Allied
Europe shall be maintained.

We have had seAeral inquiries con-
corning ground limestone lately and
] feel safe in saying that this spring
there will be shipped in one or more
cars of this material. There is no
question that much of the land here
needs lime. The soil is acid to large
degree. Alfalfa will not thrive at all
here unless the soil is lined and it is
safe to say that the clover crops would
be much improved were the soil lined
Now lime is not universal remedy
nor a fertilizer. Those that think
lime will help all crops will be dis
appointed in it's use. Indirectly it will
help all crops by producing larger
crops of the legumes viz clovers, alfal-
ia, peas. beans vetch and so on. If
the land is depleted, that is run out
and too sandy, lime will do very little
for it. What is needed there is ma
nure or something to produce humus
so as to help the soil hold water.
Lime is not a fertilizer and should not
be used with this in view, but it
cures acidity and will improve the
soil slightly in other ways that it
would take too long to explain.
If you have in mind trying some
limestone leave your orders and in the
spring we can order it. The cost used
to be III ton delivered here, but it
is slightly higher now as everything
else. It ought not to be over $3.50 a
ton. I will get definite quotations
soon and will have them at the Office.
We are getting inquiries concerning
seeds daily. Glover seed is high. Will
cost between As and so cents pound
for the best seed, but corn is abund-
ant and reasonable in price. This
year we can get Wisconsin grown corn

Record Membership Of Farmers.

Farmers have the largest member
ship in the assembly, and lawyers the
largest membership in the senate.
There is also large membership of
farmers in che senate, which would
indicate that much legislation of in
terest to rural communities may be
enacted.
There are forty-three farmersin the
assembly, nineteen business men, four
printers, twelve lawyers, one carpen-
ter, three bankers, one chef, two ma
chinists, one glass blower, three real
estate and insurance agents, one vul-
canizer, one bricklayer, two contracG-
ors, two decorators, one labor Organ
izer, three liquor dealers and one hotel
proprietor. Records Of the house
show that this body has the largest
representation OF farmers Of any ses-
sion since 1873, when the Granger
movement was swept into power.
In the senate there are nine lawyers
four bankers, four business men, one
bookkeeper, three real estate and in
surAnce agents, four farmers, one
jeweler, one publisher. one lysilcian
and one contractor
Following is the composition of the

Found Sad Conditions.

A sad occurance is reported by the
Marshtield Herald as follows: The
only physician of the village of Loyal
was called out in the country, and
arriving at the place, and not being
acquainted, he went to the wrong
house. Receiving no response to his
knock at the door he went in. The
room was empty with the exception
of little boy who was amusing him

fellow where his mother was. The
boy pointed to an adjoining room

Readers Must Be Trained.

In literature the reader as well as
the writer must be trained. Many be-
ieve that if they can look at printed
page, and pronounce the words there
presented, they are readers, but if you
would appreciate the sense or nonsense
of a piece of writing, you must have
intelligence and experience even great
er than is the average among scrib-
blers.-E. W. Howe's Monthly.

Don't Exauqerate.

The girl who stretches every state
ment she makes out of all resemblance
to the actual facts of the case may
imagine she is strengthening what she
is trying to say. But that is mistake.
People who listen to an exaggerated
statement invariably discount it, and
usually more than lit deserves, and In
addition they feel distrust of any
thing which has to be so overempha-
sized. Every exaggerated statement Is
weakened in proportion as it is exag-
gerated.-Grit.

Teutons in History.

The term Teuton is of Latin origin.
In ancient times the part of Europe
now embraced in Germany was called
Germania, and. one of the principal
tribes of the country was called by the
civilized Romans Teutons, just as we
speak of the Apache Indian. Being a
fierce and warlike people they gave the
Romans a great deal of trouble, and
as they were the dominant tribe OF that
region the name of Teutons gradually
came to be applied to all the people oc-
cupying what was called Germania. 1t
has survived in the form of Teutons.

The White Elephant.

A good many persons have, no doubt,
got wrong impression Of the Siamese
white elephant. He is not pure white,
as is generally supposed, but is a sort
of Albino among his race. He is a
very light gray, but never pure white
color. Outside of this, he is little diff
ferent from the rest of his race.
