Although the sun is slow in rising
every morning, it is always on time.
Great opportunities come to
those who make use of small ones.
By an official order of the treas
ury, the assignment of registered
bonds heretofore made only before
certain treasury officials and the
officers of certain courts and feder
al reserve and national banks can
now legally be made before officers
of incorporated state banks and
trust companies.
Potatoes have enabled Ger
many to hold out so far. It is now
the recommendation of the Spec
ialists with the Extension Division
to beat the Kaiser with his own
tactics. Every farmer can help do
this by growing a patch of Irish po
tatoes this year. At least enough
to supply the home. The more
Dototoes we grow and eat the more
of the other food stuffs we can
send to help feed the soldier boys.
OUR ALLIES’ PURCHASES HERE
Most of the money advanced by
the United States to the nations in
Europe engaged in war with Ger
many is spent in this country for
the products of our farms, mines
and factories.
Under the arrangement made by
the secretary of the treasury and
approved by the president, these
allied governments communicate
their requirements for materials
and supplies to a United States
commission through their own des
ignated purchasing agents in this
country and the commission then
renders its best efforts to obtain
advantagous terms which are sub
mitted to the purchasing agents.
By these means competitive bid
ding against the other allies and
a ainst the United States is avoid
ed and the same terms and the
s; me treatment our own govern
ment receives is accorded to our
allies.
It is expressly stipulated that no
obligation or liability upon the
United States shall be created by
this arrangement. Our govern
ment is simply lending its assist
ance to our allies in the spending
here of the money we loaned them.
The protection thus granted them
is deserved, for they are doing the
work which, if they do not do. must;
be done by America at the expense '
■'f American lives and American
money. _ .

PROFIT IN MUNICIPAL FARM
Springfield, III., Made Money After
Supporting Prisoners and Aiding
Latters’ Families.
In Springfield, 111., the sum of
$529.15 In cash was realized from the
municipal farm in addition to the
keep of prisoners and a considerable
quantity of vegetables for prisoners
families, according to a report issued
by City Prison Keeper Henry Mes
ter, who had charge of the farm. Ap
proximately 400 bushels of com were
raised on the 20-acre tract near the
water works. The grain was sold to
the police and fire departments for
the horses. In addition to the corn,
vegetables raised, such as potatoes,
onions, cabbage, beans and other
garden stuff brought $190.
Aside from the money earned, Mes
ter declares the experiment lias worked
out to the great physical and moral
benefit of prisoners who, if it had not
been for the prison farm, would have
been confined all summer, or at least
a great part of it, in the “bull pen” at
the city prison. Commissioner Itoy It.
Itpese, head of the department of
health and public safety, is well
pleased with the plan.

Ai-. I. £. aSsSlr&A&M
THE FARMERS’ SHOT AT
KAISERISM IS MAXIMUM CROPS
C. A. Whittle, Farm Service Bureau, Atlanta, Ga.
Upon those whom the United States
1 has not called from the farm, rests
i a great obligation of feeding and
! clothing the liberty armies of the
world. The greater the crops the
harder the armies will be able tc
strike.
What can hind< r the farmer from
■ making maximum crops? Will it be
■ lack of market and a good price?
No, the market and price prospects
are good.
Will it he for lack of money or cred
it with which to buy tools, seeds, fer
tilizers or oilier necessary supplies?
No, money is plentiful and credit is
good.
Will it he for lack of labor? Labor
Is scarce without doubt. In fact, the
shortage of labor is practically the
only great obstacle the farmer has to
meet in producing maximum crops. If
he could have abundance of labor he
could increase the cultivated acreage
an<’ hy proper fertilization he could
bring in a very great crop. But in
view of the lack of labor what must
he do?
He can do two things to overcome
the labor shortage: First, increase the
applications of fertilizers, which will
increase the yield without enlarging
the cultivated acreage. Second, use
labor saving machinery.
But overcoming the labor shortage
Is not all that is necessary to obtain
maximum crops. Here is a gchedule
of important things that must be done
by every farmer to get maximum
crops:
I. Break the land deeply turning
under all stalks, stubble and litter pos
sible.
| 2. Jlarrow, roll and pulverize the
seed bed thoroughly before planting.
3. tise only the best possible seed,
preferably pedigreed seed, from a re
■sponsible plant breeder.
4. Make liberal use of fertilizers,
and use manure whenever obtainable
to supplement the fertilizers.
5. Give thorough and frequent cub
tivation to the tilled crops, preferably
shallow and frequent cultivation.
6 Harvest savingly and protect the
stored crops from pests.
WJiile it is true that everything the
farmer has to buy is high in price, it
is also true that whatever the farmer
has to sell is also high in price. The
fertilizer people figure out that their
products have rot advanced in price
as much as the price of crops, and that
as a matter of fact, cotton, corn, pea
nuts, tobacco and the like will buy
more fertilizer now than ever. Which
being true it follows that it will pay
better now to use it tiian formerly,
for the increase for which they are re
sponsible will be worth more.
Another thing that the farmer must
bear in mind if he would be sure to
raise a bumper crop and that is, to
place his orders early for everythin,
that is to be shipped by rail. Tim
railroads are hard put to It and do
not afford assurance of prompt ship
ments. Orders placed late are mor
than likely to be too late to be deli\
ered in time.
Even if shipping were good, there
would be nothing gained by delfly.
Prices are not likely to be lower. In
fertilizers, especially there Is a scarc
ity of materials and advancing prices,
making it improbable that the fertilia
er wUi be cheaper.

A Vise From a Sapling.
To make a vise in the woods, out a
good-sized hardwood sapling, leaving
n square-topped stump of convenient
height. Split the stump through the
middle as fai us necessary. Trim the
upper part, If needed for the purpose.
Then, about 18 Inches front the top,
lash the stump firmly with a rope and j
twist It tight with a stick, like a tour- j
nlquet. Open the spilt with wedges, ;
Insert the article to he held, knock out
the wedges, and—there you are.—All
