'HOW TO GET HARVEST HELP
Farmers needing help "during
harvest, threshing or stacking,
should make their needs known to
their nearest farm labor bureau or
county agent. Decide early on the
number of men needed and the time
they will be needed. This may mean
assistance in a critical time.
KEEP COLTS SHUT UP
The animal husbandry department
of the Collegeof Agriculture advises
against allowing colts follow in the
field. It is hard on the colt to tug
its mother all day, especially on
plowed ground, and it keeps the
mare in more or less of a state of
excitement and worry. The colt is
liable to get hurt and is a general
nuisance to have out in the field.
It is much better to keep it shut up.
The first two or three days the colt
is shut up it should be allowed to
feed in the middle of the forenoon
and afternoon. It is suggested that
oats or 'alfalfa be kept before the
colt when it is shut up.
PRODUCE INFERTILE EGGS
Poultry experts emphasize the
need of disposing of roosters in ord
er to- prevent loss during the sum
mer thru fertile eggs. The fertjle
egg will germinate at a temperature
above (!8 degrees, thus spoiling the
egg for market purposes, especially
when the temperature gets aiound
90 degrees and 100 degrees. The
infertile eggs will stand a ccmncra-
ture of 103 degrees without deterio
ration, for five days. After taking
the mule birds away the eggs will
be fertile for at least ten days or
two weeks. Do not be misled by
the idea that it is necessary to keep
the male birds with the flock to in
crease egg production. Collect your
eggs twice a day. Keep them in a
cool place away from contaminat
ing odors. Keep your nests clean
and the litter on your iloor clean
and your eggs will bo clean. Pro
vide one nest for every four hens.
Market your eggs at least twice a
week. By producing infertile eggs
you are doing your bit toward in
creasing the supply of food stuffs.

LET US PRINT IT FOR YOU
Sugar control lifts snvml tlio Amer
ican public $180,006,000, Herbert Hoov
er, United Strttos food mlmtlll8trator,
declared the otlior day.
Ho pointed out that sugar wns soil
ing for 11 cents a pound last August
and tlml it would lutvo advanced to 20
routs u pound, with the world short
age as a stimulus, had not the food
administration secured the co-opora-tlon
of the refiner ami wholesalers
and fixed a sugar price that today en
ables housovlves to buy sugar at from
SVd to 0 cents n pound.
"Every 1 cent raise In sugar from
September 1 to January 1 means $18,-.
000,000 to the American consumer.
Mr. Hoover said. "Numbers of gen
tlemen will toll you that 20 cent sugar
would luivo prevailed and the public,
robbed of $1S0,000,000 this year if wo
bad not taken thoso actlonsi' Later.
Mr. Hoover called attention to the fact
that uncontrolled sugar advanced to
85 cents u poutfd during the Civil War.
France Got Our Sufjar.
Today the American public has been
allotted 70 per cent, of Its normal sup
ply. Before the war the average an
nual household consumption here was
55 pounds a person. In England the
annual consumption during tho war is
21 pounds, and in France each person
Is allotted a little over one pound n
month.
"In August tho French government
found Itself unable to maintain even
this ration," Mr. noover declared.
"An appeal was made to America.
France needed 100,000 ton3. Wo
agreed to fill this demand and up to
December had shipped 85,420 tons. In
(ho meantime nn appeal was made to
the American public to reduce Its sug
ar consumption, and requests were
made to distributors to supply the
conTectionary nnd sweet drinks trade
with CO per cent, of normal supply.
This lias been generally followed, al
though such regulations were volun
tary, ns tho food administration had
Ho authority to impose them."
Domestic Price Is 8. to 9 Cents.
Retail grocers throughout the coun
try are supposed to take a profit of no
more than 50 cents a hundred half a
cent a pound on sugar. By reason of
food administration regulations, bind
ing rcllners nnd wholesalers, the re
tailer Is able today to buy sugar nt
from 8 to SJ,A rents a pound. This
enables him to sell to the housewife at
8V4 to 0 cents a pound.
There have been some violations of
tho sugar rulings. Mr. Hoover said
recently: "Sales of sugar from 10 to
20 cents per pound have been reported
and followed up vigorously and stop
ped and Is evidence itself of tho prices
at which consumers would have boon
mulct had wo not intervened. W'k have
forfeited wholesalers licenses in ag
gravated cases, and wo have issued
warnings to first offenders In a great
many instances through our local ad
ministrators." Effect on Military Situation.
American sugar stocks could be fill
ed to normal very soon if shlp3 could
bo sent to Java, where 250,000 tons of
sugar is waiting for shipment. But
tho shipping situation is so acute that
tlio nation cannot spare the eleven
shlpsxneeded to transport this sugar.
It would take the boats one year to
haul 250,000 tons. In the same time
thoy could bo Tised for transporting,
200,000 soldiers to France.
Tho food administration believes,
that tho American public will diminish
Its sugar consumption by 10 or 15 por
cent when it la made clear that such
sugar saving is a patriotic net and
when it lo understood that there are'
plenty of Bweotcners available to take
the rlnce of sugar, such as honey on
corn syrup.
Why Shortage Exists.
Tho three great sugar producing cen-,
tors of tho world arc Germany, the.
West and East Indies. German sugar
Is, of course, used at home. The East
Indian sugar is unavailable because or
tho ship shortage.
Whllo U boats made big Inroads on
tho world's shipping, Franco and Italy
ceased to bo self sustaining In sugar
manufacture. England in the mean
tlmo was cut oft! from German sugar
1,-100,000 tons n yoar because of tho
war. Tho result has been that the al
lied nations have boon forced to turn,
to America and tho West Indies for
tholr sugar.
Fish at Reasonable Price.
Tho Canadian government's venture
to supply the public with fish nt n rea
sonablo prlco has proved a success. A
refrigerator service from Novn ScoUa
to Ontnrlo was provided, nnd tho gov
crnment's schcnio was advertised. In
ono week there were three cars carry.
Ing approximately 00,000 pounds o(
fish, ns against normal shipments o(
fi.OOO pounds. Tho varieties sold undo:
'tho government's plan, which provides
that tho buyer shall tako tho whole
flsh, nro haddock nnd roarkot cod. Thes(
were tho only ones nvallnblo in quan
jtltlos to justify the oxporlmont. nod
dock Is well known; market cod Is
practically a newcomer.
