night before.
Meals are served, primarily for
children, at noon and pm. daily,
Adjt. Miller said. Usually 10 to IL
were served at midday and 80 to so
were served in the late afternoon,
he added. 1t was about 1890 pm.
when Adjt. Miller took the reporter
through the dining room and kitchen
on the basement floor. Two chill
dren were still sitting at a table
and there were three other empty
plates. Thirty eight children were
fed the night before, according to
Adjt Miller. The reporter could
count chairs or benches for only
about 30 persons, but Adjt. Miller
assured him that frequently as many
as so persons were served. Thirty
eight last night he repeated. Pre-
viously he had mentioned that
list was kept of persons served.

Mrs. Beaman," declared the ad-
jutant.

Adjt. Miller explained that he
was not as familiar with the inside
work as he might be, since solici-
tation, collection and other duties
kept him away from the Office most
of the time. Most of the Office and
headquarters detail, he said, was
handled by the matron and secre-
tary- ry-stenographer.
Cutting Down Overhead.
IT have only three solicitors and
q collector besides myself now,"
Adjt. Miller asserted. And I'm
letting one of the two cooks go.
I'm cutting down on the overhead"
There had been five solicitors.
The solicitors operate on a 20 to
80 per cent basis, it was stated, de-
pending on the amount of new

time to time try new fields in the

tribution is promised, a collector
calls for the money, or clothing.
Adjt. Miller said his collector is
paid $12 q week and uses his own
car. II pay myself SIS a week and
I use street cars and Buses" he
added.
Average earnings Of the telephone
solicitors are from $40 to SIS a week,
he said.

AAA Offers Payment For a Home
Garden.

Farmers are offered the OppOr-
tunity 10 earn conservation pay
ment in 1910 by planting home gar
den. One unit Of credit, or Sl.5G is
offered for the planting Of garden
consisting Of not less than One-tenth
Of an acre per person. In families
containing more than ten persons, Il
one acre garden will suffice to quail
ify for the payment.
The requirements are that the gar
den be adequately protected from
poultry and livestock. that good cul-
tural methods be followed, and that
proper steps be taken 10 control IN
sect pests. Irish potatoes, sweet pO-
tatoes, corn, and field peas may be
planted elsewhere on the farm.
We recommend that three or more
different vegetables be growing in

eight months of the year. Not more
than one-fourth Of the garden area

is expected to find rough recep-
ton when it finally reaches ware
house floors next fall.
Its preceding brother, the 1889
crop, turned out to be the largest on
record, totaling l,l00,000,0O0 pounds
of flue-cured leaf. It was larger than
1875 record crop by one-fourth and
is 1926, 100000 pounds more than will
be used during the current year. This
means that world stocks will be 325,-
100000 pounds greater at the begin
ming of the next marketing season
than at the beginning Of the past
season.
On top of that, present indications
are that exports will be approx
mately 15O,0O0,000 pounds less than
usual. In effect this situation sets
the stage so that stocks in the United
States next July will be about 475,-
100000 pounds larger than at the be-
ginning of the 1889 marketing sea-
son.
Actually, we need less than half
a crop of flue- cured tobacco this year
According to our acreage allotments,
growers should produce between
6OO,OOO,OO0 and 67S.000,000 pounds OF
leaf in 1910. Present indications are

To meet this situation, North Car
