Correspondent of tho Chlcnfjo Nows.
Berlin. Germany's official conserva
tion of her bread and grain supplies
is not regarded here aB a promlsd of
famine. It Is only an episode in tho
all inclusive caro with which tho Gor
man government controls tho price of
eggs in Berlin with ono hand and
with tho other fights against olght na
tions In armB. For Germany's food
supply is, according to all avallablo
statistics, more than largo enough to
feed her 65,000,000 until tho summer
harvest, oven without importations.
It wnB only under tho abnormal con
ditions created by tho war that tho
government found any danger that tho
grain supplies would run short Of
every other Item, practically, In tho
national bill of faro there seems to bo
a surplus, particularly of meat. But
bread Is such an Important item in tho
life of this nation that Its conservation
becomes necessary.
Tho allowance which has boon mado
of nlno kilograms (approximately 20
pounds) to an Individual each month
Is certainly n most liberal ono. Thoro
nro probably few families of flvo per
sons In America that consumo 100
pounds of bread or flour a month.
Meat Supply Is Abundant.
As far as tho other food supplies aro
concerned, tho moBt important fcaturo
HeB in tho abundanco of meat, for
years tho Gorman ompiro has dono all
in its power to encourago tho incrcaso
of animals on farms. Tho result 1b
that at this time tho cattle total is,
approximately, 22,000,000, whllo tho
numbor of hogs has reached a total of
26,000,000. In fact, it is this relative
ly largo numbor of farm nnimalB that
has boon tho greatest peril to tho suf
ficiency of tho grain supplies. There
fore, tho farmers aro being ordered to
slaughter tho hogs particularly, and
to convert them, as far as possible.
Into Bmoked meat, which will bo avail
able for futuro use, without, In tho
meantime, eating any deeper into tho
nutlonal bread basket. .
Two' interesting ltomB contributed
to making radical stops necessary at
thla tlmo. Tho first was tho fact that
tho government prohibition against
feeding grain to cattle and hogs has
proved almost impossible of enforce
ment. Tho government authorities do
clared that tho larger agriculturists
obeyed, but tho Bmall farmers Insist
ed on regardlng'tholr cattlo as house
hold pots. Against this oven tho iron
hand of tho German government was
powerless.
Tho other Item that contributed to
compelling action at this timo was
tho changod condltlpn brought nbout
by tho sending of millions of men
from tho city to tho front. This turned
tho handling of tho household treas
ure completely over to tho wives. It
must bo stated parenthetically that In
Germany this Is not as customary as
In America. Tho government author
ities say that as a rosult thoro has
been a great incrcaso in tho consump
tion of bread and other Hour products
and a decreaso In tho consumption of
meat and similar food.
They say that this camo becauso
tho soldiers sent homo virtually all
thnlr meager pay. But to this wob
added tho additional subsistence pro
vided by both government and mu
nicipality. They found that with this
tho housowlfo discovered It was pos
sible to eat a meal or two a day in tho
thousand and ono cafes that dot ovory
mg city uniu mo consumption of flour
began to soar nt a surprising rate.
Never So Much Cake Eaten.
Tho government officials toll you,
with seriousness which demonstrates
nt leaBt their conviction, that nover in
tho history of Germany has so much
cako boon consumed aB in this win
ter. In fact, thoy refer to theso cafes
and bakeries as tho "Internal ene
mies" of tho ompiro. When tho war
broko out tho pig that insisted on eat
ing grain had this distinction, but
Blnco then his slaughter has been do
creed. Another restriction Is In immediate
prospoct. This concerns tho amount
of beer to bo produced by tho brewer
ies. For tho breweries aro great con
sumers of barloy. Barley Is needed,
not for human consumption, but to
feed farm animals. And tho govern
ment has determined that food for
farm animals is far moro Important
than boor for human beluga.
From a food atandpoint Germany's
salvation really Hoa in tho onormous
supply of potatoes furnished by last
year's crip. Exact statisticB aro not
available, but tho government consid
ers tho potato production as inex
haustible. For this reason potatoes
aro being uaed in bread and in every
posslblo form for human and animal
food. The surplue of sugar beet alBo

ner. Big Crops Expected This Year.
As far as tho crops of 1915 aro con
cerned, tho government looks forward
with confidence to a larger harvest
than that of 1913. The acreago sowed
to wlntor wheat and ryo is up to laat
year's figures. Th,ero had been some
fear that sending millions of men to
tho front would so denude tho farms
that planting would bo held back. But
nature was moBt generous, with balmy
fall weather, which lasted almost un
til Christmas- This mado It posslblo
for tho decreased farm population to
flnlBh Its work.
In addition thoro is promised an In
creased acreage In spring planting.
Tho rights of way along tho rnllroads
throughout tho ompiro are to bo
planted, as far as posslblo, In pota
toes. Theso will bo planted at tho
cost of tho railroads and turned over
to tho employees for their personal
use.

Prisoners to Be Cultivators.
For this purposo prisoners of war
nro to bo used. In tho samo way Rus
sian prisoners on tho eastern frontier
will bo pressed Into sorvlco to In-
crenso production there. They wero
usod to somo extont last fall to
harvoBt tho potato crop. In Franco
nnd Bolgtum tho Gorman soldiers
havo been helping to plant crops.
Probably tho most Interesting fea
tures of this problem of food conserva
tion nro tho arrangements that havo
boen made with reforenco to tho grain
supply. Last fall tho imporial govern
ment, tho cities of tho empire with
moro than 100,000 population and
8omo of tho largor Industrial organi
zations subscribed a capital of $13,-
000,000 to buy up grain supplies. It
was tho Intention of tho government
to lay asldo sufficient grain to carry
tho nation from May 15 to tho next
harvost.
By careful financiering In tho way
of loans on grain bought to mako pos
sible furthor purchases, this organiza
tion has accumulated approximately
3,000,000 tonB of wheat nnd ryo. This,
It Is figured, would havo carried tho
nation to the harvest with a surplus of
10 per cont However, when It wna
found that tho present consumption
Increased too rapidly tho government
decided on Its order of January under
which nil of tho grain and flour sup
plies of tho empire aro put Into tho
hands of this organization.
Communities Direct Distribution.
It will pay for supples at tho "mnx
lmum price" fixed by tho government
last fall for grain transactions, it
will thon allot to each community an
amount equivalent to 20 pounds n per
son and tho community government
will bo Intrusted with Its Individual
distribution. Tho communities must
pay In tho Internal organization the
cost prlco, plus Interest and milling.
A special premium of 10 per cent re
bato Is provldod on the amounts saved
by communities out of their allow
ances. Certain Important restrictions havo
boon lmpoBod by tho govornment up
on tho community distribution. All
wheat bread must contain at least 20
per cent of ryo flour. All ryo bread
must contain at least 10 per cent of
potatoes. No cako is to bo baked that
contains moro than 10 per cent of
flour. I am not enough of a culinary
expert to say what kind of cako this
will mako.
In addition tho communities havo

tho authority entirely to forbid the

with even greater percentages of pota

prices for tho sale of bread.
Tho decreaso In the bread produc
tion as a result of the now restriction

has meant a corresponding decrease
In tho business of tho bakers. There
upon somo of tho latter raised the
price. It was to check this that powei
was given tho communities to set max
imum prices.
Labor Unions Pledge Support.
All tho labor unions of the emnlro
havo pledged their support to tho gov
ernment plan and aro helping in Its
enforcement. Tho same is true of the
agricultural organizations. Wherever
there has been opposition the govern
ment has made short work of it. In
Chemnitz, for Instance, tho mayor
called a meeting of tho bakerB for Sat-
urday night. Almost all of them sent
as an excuse for tholr absence tho
fact that it was their cakefbaklnir
night.
"There will bo no moro cako In
Chemnitz," said tho mayor, and tho
decree was Jssued.
Now tho bakers can tnko Saturday
nights off and there will bo no fur
thor difficulty about attending tho
mayor's meetings.
Special anneals aro belnc irindn tn
housewives to help In tho conserva
tion of tho food supplies. In Berlin
a series of classes has been arranged
by tho government to Instruct speak
ers who aro to lecturo on this Import
ant problom.
Appeal Made to School Children.
Even the school children nro belnc
urged to help. In Schooneberg, for
lnstnnco, tho following appeal was
mado to tho patriotism of tho chil-
drcn In all the schools:
"Wo ask your holn In brinelne- thin
torriblo war. In which vour fathers
and brothers aro now fighting, to an
end. As our cnomics aro unable to
conquer us with the sword, It is their
ovll Intention to try to starve us out
and for this reason they havo cut off
our supplies. Wo are going to frus-
trato their desnlcablo Intention nmi
you must help us by conscientiously
ioiiowmg tins navico;
"1. Ask your parents to buv onlv
'krlegsbrot (war bread). It tastes as
good nnd IB Just na dlgestlblo aB tho
other.
"2. Instead of whlto bread oat thn
nbovo mentioned 'krlegsbrot.' Wo may
possibly becomo short of wheat, and,
theroforo, wo wish to limit tho use of
flour as much bb posslblo.
Urged to Eat Little Cake.
"3. As long as tho war lasts eat
very llttlo or no cako. In making
theso small sacrifices you aro helping
yuir fatherland. You can cat as much
sugar and confectionery as your par
ents allow.
"4. Ask your mother to cook pota
toes In their Jackets. As Berlin chil
dren you will know that thoy aro very
good cooked In this mannor.
"5. Especially you must bo very snv
lng with nil foodstuffs, old dry bread,
etc.
,"C. Don't take moro lunch thnn you
can cat to school with you. If you
havo too much, thon glvo It to a friend
or take it homo with you."
All of which moans that tho civil
population of Germany Is living prac
tically on tho samo "kornmisbrot"
which serves as tho ration of tho sol
dier In tho field. It Boemed strnngo
at first to miss tho dellclouu llttlo

But In times llko theso you cannot

EXPENSE OF GRAVELING RQAD
Problem of Graveling Highways at
Moderato Cost Solved by Commis
sioner Rhelnhardt of Idaho.
Evldontly Otto Rhelnhardt, commis
sioner of the Nampa highway district,
Canyon county, Idaho, has solved tho
problom of graveling tho highways at
moderato cost, writes E. F. Stephens
in Denver Field and Farm. Threo
years ago ho decided to gravel tho dis
trict's sharo of tho boulevard between
Nampa and Caldwell. A half milo
away, Indian creek runs parallel with
this boulevard and there an abundant
supply of gravel was procured. Fortu
nately tho very heavy traffic Incident
to hauling rails and tics for tho Jn
terurban electric lino track cut through
tho gravel, mixing tho underlying soil
with tho superimposed gravel In suit
able proportions for cementing a firm,
smooth roadbed. A percentage of clay
Bmooth or volcanic ash soil mixed with
gravel makes a hard, smooth roadbed
not likely to absorb tho rainfall. Tho
result on tho boulevard has boon to
securo a very serviceable roadbed
highly commended by local and United
States engineers.
Under tho inspiration of this suc
cessful roadbed a neighborhood lying
Flno Stretch of Road In West.
to tho west, called Orchard avenue, do
clded to gravel on the following plan:
Tho farmers to donate tho use of
una rr 3
teams and wagons with dump boards.
Tho Nampa highway district to provide
gravel, usually donated by those who
havo it, pay tho shovelcrs and a man
to help dump tho loads and also spread
and smooth tho gravel on tho road
bed, using for this purposo a King;
drag. Tho freshly graveled roadbed
should bo smoothed with a King drag
or other implement weekly for two
months or until settled and cemented
with tho underlying soli. Four Inches
of gravel in tho middle of tho roadbed
with two inches on the sides most
readily mixes with tho underlying soil1
in such proportions as to shed rain
and form a smooth, solid bed. Heavy
traffic cuts through tho gravel In wet
weather until enough underlying soli
has been mixed and cemented with
the gravel to shed rain and create a.
solid roadbed.
A moderato percentage of clay soil
mixed with tho gravel as applied will
pack and cement from tho beginning.
Tho clay gravel banks along tho re
clamation ditches plied by the dredges
supply Ideal material for graveling our
roads. This mixture of clay, sand
and gravel packs from tho very first
and does not need underlying soil cut
in by heavy traffic. Coarse gravel,
freo from clay or soil, will need an ad
mixture of soil from below to securo a
hard, smooth roadbed. Orchard ave
nue has now been graveled two years.
Its success from the start has been i
such as to attract tho attention of oth
er neighborhoods.
STATE AID FOR GOOD ROADS
One Reason Why Food Prices Are
High Is Because of Cost of Haul
ing Over Bad Highways.
Nearly every one of the state legis
latures is considering demands for
more help for road building, says St.
Joseph News-Press. Ten years ago
all tho states 'together put up but
$2,000,000 for road building, exclusive
of local funds. , In 1914 thoy spent
?43,000,000. But as four-fifths of this
was dono by six eastern states and
two Pacific coast states, the problem,
is far from Bolved nationally. Many
of our big problems always comeback
to tho cost-of-living question.
Plant Nut Trees.
Somo nut or fruit-bearing trees set
out on country roads 50 feet apart,
would add much of beauty and com
fort to tho highway. It would bo nec
essary, of course, to havo well-rounded
roadways to drain off tho water,
for mud hoes and poor roadbeds
would not dry out qulto so fast as.
where the sun shines on tho road
bed all tho time. Tho bettor road
beds would bo well worth while.
LeRoy Cady.
Personal Benefit and Profit.
Go at road Improvement with the
samo determination you would to dig.
ditches or build fences with tho full
realization that it is for your own per
sonal benefit and profit; and not only
merely a "public duty."
Aid for Permanent Roads. -
State and national aid for perma
nent roads Is suro to como, but It Is.
not likely to come to any community
that has, by their lack of Interest in
good roads shown that thoy are un
worthy of it.
