thority of the food control act, the
nitrate is to be sold at cost and al

NEVER WAsTEFUL IN SPEECH
One Thing at Least In Which the
American People Are Econom-
icai to a Degree.

The country as a whole has lost the
"hang" OF speaking English. Some
people proudly state that America Is
no longer a British colony, that she is
creating a language Of her own, and,
to prove their independence they
make practice Of Incorporating into
our speech sounds without definite
edges, sounds trailing clouds Of NUT
tered murmurs, SQUADS Of such ele-
mental simplicity that they resemble
grunts, taken over from the speech OF
persons who have come to us from all
non on-English-speaking countries OF the
world. And. in their love OF equality
and fraternity, these people refuse to
exceed the speech Of those whose
simple needs are satisfied with q fru-
gal vocabulary; in this way they have
succeeded in cutting down their own
vocabulistic rations to the famine
point. Lavish, generous, wasteful In
other matters, the country has learned
to economize in sentence and syllable,
till it has reached genuinely demo-
cratic simplicity Of speech.-Henry
Dwight Sedgwick, in Yale Review.

PARSLEY POINTED A MORAL
Younqster Quick to See the Point

In an Indiana town where crooked
ness in city affairs has been reigning
for years, q lucrative position was Of

the salary itself was so large, but the
possibilities the position offered were
many. But still string was attached
and the lawyer knew 1t. So he turned
down the job.
His high-school son was provoked be-
cause his father had not accepted. he
grumbled about it in subtle little ways
for several days and then one day his

The boy eyed them few minutes
and then asked, "What is that they're

The farmer answered: "Why, that's

know of. We just turn them into a
patch of parsley and they do the rest
themselves. It's too good picking for
them to resist. When l decide that q

just turn him into the parsley patch,
and soon he's just in the right condi-

"It's too bad they don't know what's
coming to them so that they stay away
from the parsley PATCH" laughed the
boy. "I'm sure l would if l were to

Canadian Fisheries.

Canadian fisheries during 1917 was
S52,312O44, compared with s39, ,20S,37e
in 1916 and S26,s60, ,7s0 in 1915. These

Dominion fisheries department in its

Canada possesses the most exten'
sive fisheries in the world" says the
report. "Those Of Norway and the
British isles alone dispute Canada's
supremacy. The fertility of Canadian
waters Is indicated by the fact that
the entire catch Of salmon, lobster

all the haddock, and much Of the cod

The War Cost of Cotton.

The following summary of a report
made by H. F. Bachmann & COM
pany of New York will be interesting
to cotton farmers:
For the four years prior to the war
the cotton farmer received an aver
age price Of IL cents per pound for
his cotton, against an average of 1914
lcents for the four-year war period,
representing an increase of 36.6 per
cent. The wheat farmer received an
average of 85.2 cents per bushel for
the four years prior to the war,
against 1875 per bushel for the four
war years, an increase of 75.5 per
cent. For the four crops prior to the
war the cotton farmers received to-
tai of $3,284,1 ,157, ,OO8, and although
there was reduction of 2,541, ,OS1,
600 pounds in cotton production du-
ring the four war years as compared
with the four anti-war years, he only
received a total Of S3,908,72O,133
for these four crop failures, total
increase of only s624,563,125, or 10
per cent. The wheat farmer produced
453,S5S,O00 bushels more wheat du-
ring the four war years than he pro-
duced during the four anti-war years,
but he received for these four crops
$4,513,120, an increase of ST.
184,373,344, or 93.9 per cent. In
other words, the wheat increase in
value during the war was $1,557,110.
21S, or 249 per cent greater than the
cotton increase in value.
According to this estimate wheat
has increased in value during the
war 249 per cent more than cotton.
This shows the handicap under which
cotton growers have labored. Not on
ly have they had drouth causing short
crops, but during the war they were
forced to sacrifice their help, pay war
prices for everything used, and since
the armistice, have the embargo con-
tinued while the spectators beat the
market down.
The estimates and comparisons
made above have. been taken from
reports and bulletins published by the
United States department Of agricul-
ture. This does not include the ex-
pense cotton growers have incurred
in holding cotton, nor the loss to the
business men largely interested in
and dependent on cotton.
Will the growers Of cotton and the
business men of the South and South
west continue such a marketing sys-
tenn for cotton? Will they be willing
to let spectators take advantage Of
war, peace or any industrial distur-
banee to the detriment of cotton
growers and their friends who are f.
financially interested in the staple?-

MARKETING LETTUCE IN LOTS
When Sold in Barrels to Small Grocer
There Is Always Remnant or
Two Wilted.

Lettuce should be marketed if pos,
sible in small packages. When sold in
barrels to small grocers there is near
ly always a remnant after day or
two which is wilted and hard to sell.
Small packages are much better for
retailers with a limited trade because
they can sell basket or two every
day and buy fresh lot the next day.
This plan is better for producer, re-

larger sales, larger prices and smaller

SOILS READY FOR FLOWING
overzeaIous Gardeners Waste Time
and Do Harm by Getting on
Them Too Early.

A simple test to find out when gar
den soil is ready for plowing or work
ing is to pick up a handful and close
the hand tightly on it. If the earth
falls apart when the hand is opened
It is dry enough for cultivation. This
test applies largely to fairly heavy
soils, but these are the soils that are
most liable to injury from working
them when too wet. Overzealous gar
deners waste time and actually do
harm on heavy soils by getting on
them too early.

seed is of the 1918 crop or has been
properly cured and stored tests should
ibe made to learn If the seed Is Of high

The variety to be grown is Of prime
importance, and the grower should
lselect one suited to his locality. The
flate varieties for forage or seed are
best suited to southern conditions, al
though the Virginia and Haberlandt,
both medium late varieties. have given
most excellent results under southern
conditions for seed, forage and pas
