Mobilize Thrift Work
To Beat High Prices

ST. ALBANS, Dec. 26-The old
high cost of living which today
seems to be pounding along with
steam roller force despite the her
aided opposition will soon bring up
against stone wall here in New
England when one million women,
members of the newly organized
thrift army, will start an intensive
fight to reduce high prices in this
district.
Although the ranks of this thrift
army have practically been filled,
new volunteers are being added
daily. The work of modifying this
army is being done by the state di-
rectors Of the various women's or
CARNATIONS under the supervision of
Mrs, Myra B. Lord of the Savings
Division, First Federal Reserve Dis
tlict.
Mrs. Lord who has just completed
tour of the various states says she
feels assured that the majority Of
women in New England now rea-
lie that one of the best ways to
reduce the present high cost of
living is to practice thrift.
Mrs. Herbert ]. Quincy, former
president of the state federation of
women's clubs in Massachusetts,, is
handling the work in that State;
Mrs. Caesar Misch of Providence,
in Rhode Island; Miss Gertrude Bre-
itzke of Hartford, in Connecticut;
Mrs. D. C. Jones Of Waterbury in
Vermont; Mrs Mary Wood in New
Hampshire and Mrs. William C.
Eaton of Portland, in Maine.

AGENCIES ASKED TO
GIVE POSITIONS TO
SHELL-SHOCKED men

Employment of ex-service men who
are suffering from -"shell shock :, rs
sought by the national committee for
mental hygiene, New York, in letter
received by Governor Olcott, in which
the eommitteb requested information
relative to any organization in Oregon
interested in finding work for these
men.
The committee, the letter states, is
cooperating with the United States pub
lie health service and the American Red
Cross in following up the three thousand
cases sent to base hospital III, during
the war.
"These men are all eases of what is
known as neurosis of ''shell shock. y
They are now back at home, many Of
them having been discharged without
receiving any disability. AS a group
they prefer employment to any sort of
governmental compensation.
."In reply to letters which we are
sending them we find that they are
having difficulty in readjusting them
solves to their old civilian occupations
If their former work had been indoors
or else around factories or mills where
there is considerable noise, the men now
simply cannot return to it successfully
They become weak and tired, are easily
unnerved and, on the whole, suffer great
hardships. Many of them, because OF
their war experience, are unable to sup
port themselves in their former occupa
tions. These men are in no sense insane

TO CHARGE
. FOR HAULING F|SHCAR

The Central Railway of Oregon in
tends to file claim against the state
of Oregon for transporting the state
fish ear over its lines during the past
two years, according to letter received
by the public service commission from
George E. Dunklee, president of the
road, asking information relative to the
compensation allowed for this service.
Compensation for this service, accord
ing to information provided by the com
mission, is at the rate of the fare for ten
passengers. Prior to January i, 1919,
however the rate was 10 cents per mile
when the ear was used for conveying
fish and 20 cents a mile when used for
any other purpose. Basing estimates
upon maximum of six hauls during
the last two years and figuring the
length of the road from Union Junction
to Union at two and one-half miles it
is figured that the claim of the road
against the state will not exceed 81.

FILIPINOS FORM
 CREW OF SUB
 AND DESTROYER

SAN FRANCISCO, May 12.-For
 the first time in the history of the United States navy, an American des-
 troyer and a submarine, when com
 pleted, will make their maiden trip
 out of here with petty officers and
 crew composed entirely of Filipinos. Ninety-seven FIipinos are taking
 the course at the Mare Island navy
 yardS near here, which will fit them for duty aboard the new ships. Os..-
 CTS will come until the total compIe-
 ment of 114 men for the destroyer
 and thirty-nine for the submarine
 have been assembled.
 The destroyer Jose Rizal, and the
 submarine ESQ now building at the Union Iron works here are the gifts of the Philippines to the United States navy. When they are placed
 in commission the Philippines will en-
 joy the distinction, not only that they
 have paid for the ships, but that they also have supplied the crews
 to man them
 Heretofore F'iIipinos have been all lowed to enlist in the United States navy, with few exceptions in the Asia.tic Station. onfy as mess Iatten- dants When the Philippines announc- | ed its gifts, an order was issued by l the navy Department to the com manding officer of every ship afloat to nominate from his crew such Fil- | ipinos as he considered desirable to form the compIen1 ents for the new vessels. The boys were allowed to make application for the assignment. At Mare Island they are being giv- en courses in seamanship, ordnance, and torpedo work. signalling and in
 fantry as well as special training in electrical school, gas and engine school and the artificer's school for i carpenters, painters, bEa cksrniths and | coppersmiths.
 i The crew of the submarine will be

 1 The F'i1ipinos here, many of whom l have served in the constabulary ser
 vice at the islands, show an adapta- bility to discipline, a general inter | est in their work and a willingness and ability to master the courses | which they are taking, according to | their officers.
 Commander E. F. Root now on
 duty at the Union Iron Works in ] connection with the completion of ] the Jose Riza1, the date of which fig
 set for May 25, will command the

VARIETY ADAPTATION

(From The Jefferson Cooperator)
There is such thing as yariea
adaptation Of wheat.
Wheat yielding 20-25 bushels this
year is undoubtedly good for seed
when cleaned out. We should watch
our neighbors yields to find who has
the best and secure seed from him if
we do not want to send away for
high bred seed.
Mr.. Oscar Blackboard got good
yield of fine looking wheat from
Miracle near Shenandoah Junction.
The Miracle seems to be yielding well
everywhere. 1t must be a good
wheat.
Mr.. DIN Bush. on Mr.. t. I. Per-
rvs farm near Charles Town, thresh-
ed a good crop CT Miracle. The
grain was of exceptional quality for
this year.
Several farmers sent to A.
H. Hoffman, Landisville, Pa, for the
smooth Leap Prolific and despite the
fact that the smooth wheats are not
yielding SO well as the bearded, al
most all are getting good yields from
Hoffman's Leap Prolific. 1t must be
a good variety for jefferson County.
Fulcaster is doing well also.
In a recent issue of the Stocktaan,
yields of variety tests are reported as
taken on wheat Day" at the Ohio
Experiment Station, as covering &c

VISIT TO HOWARD MANN.
WHEAT BREEDER.
tFrom The jefferson cooperator.)

(From The Jefferson Cooperator.)
On inquiry to the Maryland Elk
pertinent Station for wheat that
would be adapted to Jefferson Coun-
| ty conditions, reference was given to
Howard Mann, Ellicott City,who was
producing the Bearded Purple Straw
developed by the Maryland Station.
The County Agent from Berkeley
and jefferson went to see Mr.. Mann's
wheat few days later. 1t has yield
ed 33 bushels as an average for five
years. The crop this year is good as
usual. Last year all the wheat was
cleaned and sold for seed purposes.
Orders are coming in even faster this
season, due to the dearth of good
seed.
A few years ago the Maryland
State College of Agriculture gave
recognition to Mr.. Mann for his con-
spicious work in Maryland as a breed
err and improver Of seed strains of
cereal crops. The Bearded Purple
Straw Wheat, and Funk's Yellow
Dent Corn have received most atten-
ton by him. He has done consid-
cradle ear to the row selections. Rib
bons awarded him at various fairs
cover a large blanket on which they
are pinned. Twice he won a silver
cup for producing the best quality
and yield of wheat in Maryland with
his Bearded Purple Straw.
Mr.. Mann believes in fertilizer.
lime and blowing down a good sod or
clover if possible. He attributes part
of his increase to fertilizing. How
ever, when asked how much more the
Purple Straw would yield compared
with common wheat seed, all other
things being the same, he replied,
Under like conditions the Purple
straw would run 5 to bushels more"
A very conservative answer, we
believe.
Mr.. Mann takes just pride in his
crop breeding probe, He IS max
ng an honest offer to the growers of
wheat. His crop, now in the bar
racks, will be threshed soon and sold
for $500 per bushel +. o. b. Ellicott
City, sacks extra. A few farmers are
trying few bushels of his Bearded |
Purple Straw. We believe this wheat
is well worth while trying in Jeffer-
son County.
Bearded Purple Straw grows 8 to 4
feet, has stiff straw, is a good yield |
err and adapted to this section. Mr.. |
Mann treats his seed for disease as
herein described, and cleans all seed |
sent away from his farm. 1t is rec
amended by the Maryland Station for |
Western Maryland.
Spirit of Jefferson. [volume] (Charles Town, Va. [W. Va.]) 1844-1948, 1919-08-26

Two or three very interesting
points come up in this connection.
There are a few very high yielders
when grown under identical condi-
tons with all others, especially Klon-
dixie and Ohio No. 8537. Another is
the low yield of Turkey Red. At the
Illinois Station this was very high
yielder. 1t is matter of local var
iety adaptation. Lastly the yield on
all varieties was as an average 1851
bushels per acre for 10 years-twice
the average for the State, twice the
average for Jefferson Countrywide
to tillage, rotations, better seed, more
lime, phosphate and heavy clover
sods. This is hardly "book farming"
except the records are in books
5000 Ohio farmers were present and
saw the actual wheat at this Expert
ment Station.
Is it not worth while to take little
time to find some varieties adapted
to our soil conditions, if so large
difference as 10h bushels was found
between the highest yielding wheat
and the average at Ohio?

The grain dealers have expressed
a desire to cooperate with all farm
ers in1cleaning their seed at cost
price. This is the right kind of CO.
operation. Both will receive the
benefit. The dealer wants to buy the
best and cleanest grain from you he
can get. He can make better flour
from it, from less wheat, and market
the wheat and flour to better advan-
vantage.
The farmer is benefited because
he seeds fewer weeds, has a better
yield, and can get more for his grain.

From inquiries as to wheat that is
being threshed out in jefferson Coun
ty this season, it is found that three
varieties are doing well. Leaps
Prolific is the only smooth wheat
yielding good under this years con-
ditions. Miracle, or Multiplier, or
Stoner is yielding very satisfactory.
The Golden Wave is also very
promising wheat. The first is smooth
and the others are bearded.
