HOOVER WILL Spend
$178,oOO,OOO IN RELIEF
100000 for Special Care to
Save Nursing Mothers and
Children.

In recent report issued by Herbert
Hoover, director general of the Amer
lean relief administration. announce
ment Is made that the relief program
assumed by this organization will cost
approximately SITS, 100000. This pro-
gram covers the relief of Poland, Fin
land, and the Baltic states, Czecho-
Slovakia, Ju"o- Slavia, Roumania and
Christian and Jewish Turkey. Two mil
lions of this Sl7S,00O.O0O is being spent
for supplementary rAtions and special
care to save the children and nursing
mothers of these nations. This work
is purely charity. The rest of the re-
lief work is either being paid for by
the governments themselves or is
being financed by the S1O0.OOO,OOO
fund appropriated by congress for
this purpose. This fund is used TO
advance loans to those governments Of
the recently liberated nations which
cannot offer the proper securities and
otherwise would be unable to pay for
the food they must have.

INCREASING WHEAT YIELDS
What the Ohio Experiment Station
Has Learned.

Wheat yields are diStreSSingly low
in the United States-lower than in
any of the other big wheat-producing
countries except Russia and India.
This fact did not attract much atten-
ton until we began to need wheat
very badly and until the price of
wheat went to $500 or more per
bushel. Farmers then began to ask,
'How can we grow more per acre?"
The answer lies in reversing the
condition which brought about the low
yields. Fertility must be restored.
The Ohio experiment station has
worked on this problem of increasing
wheat yields for many years, and they
have found that by the use of COM
mercial fertilizer they can bring the
yield up to respectable proportions
where it will pay a profit. The aver
age yield of unfertiliZed plots ON land
which is typical of much of this coun-
try was 1917 bushels per acre. A profit
is hardly possible with yield like
that, even when the price of wheat is
where it is today. When fertilizer was
used to return the soil to something
like its native fertility, the average of
all yields was easily brought up to "a
bushels per acre. In many cases the
yield was more than that, but the aver
age of all was "a bushels.
When we remember that no more
time is consumed in blowing and fit
ting the land and but little more for
harvesting the 24-bushel yield as COM
pared with the 10-bushel yield, we can
see how the profit mounts up as soon
a. we begin to grow better wheat.

am often asked what seal meat

that il TASTES like seal meat, for il does
not resemble any commonly known
type of meat. But neither does mutton
resemble amy meat kuONn to me. and
still mutton is good eating, and SO is

describe. When the biubber is eaten
raw, as we commonly cal ii by prefer

that of fresh cows cream, but when
boiled 1t closely resembles the fat of
mutton. For that reason Mr.. Wilkins,
