ANNUAL DELMARVA
TOUR A.SUCCESS

The annual Delmarva Tour by the
Pennsylvania Railroad left the East
ern Shore for Montreal, Toronto and
other Canadian points last Sunday.
Stops were made in Buffalo, Niagra
Falls and the special train carrying
tourists from Maryland and Delaware
stopped at the Canadian border, so
the story goes, for routine inspection.
The customs officer passed among
them and stopping in front of wom-
an passenger he began with the usual
"Where are you from Madame?" He
seemed startled at her reply when she
murmured, Berlin"
"Did I understand you to say you
were from Berlin, madam"
Here friends interviewed and told
the grim official the lady meant Ber-
lin, Maryland, not the other Berlin.
The party returned yesterday and
from all indications it was one of the
most enjoyable summer tours expert
enced. The delegation visited Mon
treal, Toronto and Ottawa, in Canada
and in Toronto viewed the beautiful
Canadian National Exhibition.

HOUSEKEEPERS
SHOWN SOLUTION
OF FOOD PRICE
State Dept. Health Suggests
Ways To Solve Three-Meals-
A-Day Problem

Here are some end-of -the-season
canning suggestions from the Nutri-
zionist of the State Department of
Health as to ways by which house
keepers may help to solve their three
meals-a-day problem, regardless of
rising food prices:
with food prices climbing, the
home-maker who has put up a supply
of home canned fruits and vegetables
during the summer has had large
share of her food budgetting problems
solved for her.
"By now, a great many housewives
have already lined their shelves with
canned carrots, green peas, string
beans, lima beans and other vege-
tables or fruits from their gardens.
For those who have waited to begin
their canning program there is still
much canning material available. I'm
til late in September, Maryland gar
dens can be depended upon for to-
matoes, beans, corn, squash and other
vegetables; apples peaches, pears,
grapes and other fruits, for canning
or preserving, all of which have good
nutritional values or add variety to
the family supply.
vegetables and fruits are sources
of mineral and vitamins. They fur
nish body building and regulating ma
teral. Vegetables and fruits are need
ed all the year round. The daily veg
etable requirement for each individual
is for two servings of vegetable in ad-
dition to potato. One of them should
be green or yellow vegetable to pro-
vide Vitamin A,the vitamin which
aids growth and helps to develop re-
sistance to infection. Among fruits
tomatoes are an important source OF
Vitamin C, the scurvy preventive vi
tamin. A dish of tomatoes and anoth-
er serving of fruit each day meet
the individuals fruit requirement.
"To fill these needs for the winter
months, the Maryland Extension SER
vice estimates that the following
should be provided for each member
of the family: Greens, four quarts;
tomatoes and tomato juice, total OF
twenty quarts; other vegetables-at
least six to eight different kinds

THEY HAVE THEIR
CAKE AND EAT IT

In the case of some profitable
farm practices it is actually posi-
BILE to reverse the old adage and
make it read "You can have your
cake and eat it, too" This is
particularly true in the case of
farmers who are following recon-
mendations of their county agents
and apply fertilizer to their fall
wheat crop. By doing so they not
only will get increased yields OF
wheat but also add fertility for the
following years hay crop.
"It is not infrequent for the in
creased yield of clover and other
hay crops which follow fertilized
wheat to be sufficient to pay for
the whole fertilizing operation"
according to H. r. Smalley, Director
of Soil Improvement Work, The
National Fertilizer Association.
On a demonstration farm in
Michigan, the increased yield of
alfalfa hay during a two-year pc
riod following wheat which was
fortified with complete fertilizer,
amounted to 3,771 pounds of hay.
At the average price of alfalfa hay,
the increase is worth $1,000 an acre
for the two years.
One of the best ways to start a
high-producing pasture is to fertil-
ize the wheat crop heavily this fall
and seed the pasture next spring.
In an experiment at Wooster, Ohio,
an application of $50 pounds of
fertilizer gave an increase of
Is bushels of wheat and more
than doubled the pasture yield for
several years following.

growth. In addition, legume cover
crops add nitrogen to the soil, which
is doubly important at this time.
The cost of planting cover crops
will be returned to farmers in at least
three ways, says Mr.. Grant, through
AAA payments, increased crop yields,
and saving in the fertilizer bill.
Planting legume cover crops, he as
serts, to guard against possible shor-
tage of nitrogen is in the interest of
national defense and of the farmer
himself.

Correct arrangement on the salad

to the attractiveness of a salad. The
greens should be crisp and perky.
This goes far toward giving salads
a jaunty, inviting air. Let the salad
greens stand up around the salad mix
ture, rather than lie flat on the plate.

Farm Bloc AssaiIs
Morgenthau Plan
To Control Prices
Smith Says Secretary
Would Use SurpIuses
As Club on Farmers
BY the Associated Press.

~ eAAe @AocoSAoe eCu 1908.
A group of Senators protested in
joint statement today that Secre-
tary of the Treasury Morgenthau
favored use of 'the Government
surpluSes of wheat and cotton -
as club to hammer down farm
prices"
The statement from the Office of
Chairman Smith of the Senate
Agriculture Committee carried the
names of Senators Smith, Eastland,
Mississippi; Bulow, South Dakota /;
Spencer, Arkansas; CaraWay, Arkan-
sas, and Peace, South Carolina, all
Democrats.
The Senators, all from farm
States, declared that a small group
in Washington was trying Ito con-
troll prices by the indiscriminate and
ruthless use of these surpluSes."
Senator Eastland said the protest
was framed after the Secretary OF
the Treasury had asserted earlier
this week that release of Govern
ment loans stocks of cotton and
wheat could prevent a damaging
rise in prices"
Since when have the duties of
the Secretary of the Treasury been
so extended as to now include the
broad field of agriculture?" the
statement asked 1T would seem
that the duties already assigned him
are fully capable of taking up his
time"
Asserting that recent farm prices
offered little fear of imitation" the
statement asked, why is there such
a howl when farm prices advance a
little? No such howl has come from
the Secretary at the demand of Ia
bor leaders for increased wages"
The group said that the cotton
farmer should now be receiving 80
cent a pound for cotton and the
wheat farmer 81 bushel for wheat,
and to talk about imitation until
farm prices are around that figure
is ridiculous"
Recalling President Roosevelt's re-
cent veto of legislation that would
have ordered all Government farm
surpluses to be withheld from mar
ket during the present war, the
statement said that the intent to
use these surpluses to control farm
prices now being manifest, it is up
to Congress to take what steps are
necessary to assure the farmer that
he will not be subjected to the un-
warranted use of these surpluses,
a presidential veto to the contrary
