A Military Necessity.
—
Saving of wheat is now a military nec
! essity and the people of Maine are urged
I to “do their all” toward saving a part of
the wheat needed for our associates in
the world war and our own soldiers and
sailors.
In his appeal to the American people
Herbert Hoover says, “America effective
at once must reduce its monthly con
sumption oi wneai 10 <:i,uuu,uuu uusneis
as against our normal consumption of
about 42,000,000, reserving a margin for
distribution to the army and for special
cases. The needed saving of wheat
places the Food Administration wholly
dependent upon the voluntary assistance
of the American people.”
No question is more frequently asked
the Federal Food Adminstrator for Maine
than why we send wheat to Europe and
ask our people at home to use wheat
Hour substitutes.
The lirst answer is that we send wheat
to furnish a foundation for the mixed
cereal bread that the Allies have eaten
for three years and a half, and not to
supply them with a straight wheat bread.
We are now eating victory bread, a bread
that calls for only 20 per cent w eat sub
stitutes, while Europe since the outbreak
of the war has eaten a war bread which
contains from 25 to 50 per cent substitute. !
They are asking us for wheat enough to ,
make'this war bread.
Wheat Hour is the only known founda
tion for a bakery loaf. Corn meal and
buckwheat can be used in baking corn
bread and batter cakes, but these breads
cannot be looked on as bakery products !
as they will not stand 24 hours' handling j
between the oven and the table. Ameri
can women who do their own baking can
make good use of corn meal, rice, and
oatmeal, but wherever women work in
factories or long hours in the fields,
whether in America or Europe, bakery
bread must be within their reach.
LIFE AND HOPE AND LIBERTY
[Written when the ice went out March 26,
1918,]
In the river, in the springtime,
There’s a symbol all may see,
As it throbs and surges, ever,
In its efforts to be free;
And the message that it brings us
Should appeal to you and me,
This, the glad, symbolic greeting,
Life and Hope and Liberty.
As I see the hidden symbol
That the river shows to me,
In its fight ’gainst nature’s forces
In its struggles to be free;
So I see the high endeavor
Of our brave humanity,
Fighting on for world-wide freedom,
Life and Hope and Liberty.
aiuuiiu, ueneaui, auuvc u»,
There are lessons all may read,
Seen m nature’s fair dominion,
Or in man’s most noble deed.
In the spring the Easter promise,
“Hope and Immortality,”
Consecrates the season’s greeting,
. Life and Hope and Liberty.

; WtlAI’S I HE REASON
Many Belfast People in Poor Health With
out Knowing the Cause.
There are scores of people who drag
out a miserable existence without realiz
ing the cause of their suffering. Day
after day they are racked with backache
and headache; suffer from nervousness,
dizziness, weakness, languor and de
pression. Perhaps the kidneys ha ve fallen
behind in their work of filtering the blood
! ?nd that may be the root of the trouble.
I Look to your kidneys, assist them in
j their work—give them the help they
{ need- You can use no more highly recom
mended remedy than Doan’s Kidney Pills

Mrs. Anne L. Durham, 16 Park street,
Belfast, says: “I suffered for many years
from kulney trouble and couldn’t find
anything to relieve me until I used Doan’*
Kidney Pills, which I procured at the

Department of Agriculture.
Sheep Specialist. «
The Commissioner of Agriculture has
procured the services, as sHfeep special
ist, of C. H. Crawford of Dexter.
Mr. Crawford is the owner of a large
farm and has been engaged in the sheep
business many years and has a thorough- !
ly practical knowledge of it. He en- !
tered upon his work April 1st. He will '
be in a position to give information to |
those desiring it and advise them in the i
best methods of care, feeding and man- j
agement of their flocks. - j
Special attention will be given to dis- |
eases, their prevention and cure. A*
present, Mr. Crawford’s time will be de
voted mostly to visiting farms of sheep
owners. He desires to get. in touch with
the business as it is actually carried on
today. He will also be available as a
speaker at grange meetings. Through
the assistance of local assessors, the De
partment hopes to get the names of all
sheep owners in the State and the num
ber of sheep owned by each, their breed,
conditions and other information.
The Department is urging that all ewe
sheep and lambs available for breeding j
be kept in the State. It will assist, as !
far as it can do so, in placing such as may !
be for sale with parties wishing to pur
chase. We advise farmers to go into the
business only in a small way. Limit !
purchases at the start to a very small j
number of sheep or lambs. We hope'
laso, that exact and detailed accounts
will be kept by those entering the busi
ness, as well as by those now in it. Mr.
Crawford will be glad to assist in such
work. n.
Many sheep have been brought into the
eastern States from the far west and dis
tributed. Very few of these have been
brought into Maine. And we are advis
ing farmers against taking sheep brought
in from sections where climate, methods
of raising, feeding and caring for sheep
vary greatly from climate and conditions
in Maine. The true policy for us to pur
sue is to hold our own ewes and not al
low them to go to the butcher.

Commissioner.
American Library Association
War Service.
The Belfast Free Library reports that
the people of Belfast and vicinity con
tributed 150 books during the past fort
night for the use of our soldiers and sail
ors, and that more books are still com
ing in.
It is hoped that week after week they
will continue to come in steadily, for our
men will need books as long as the war
lasts, and the supply must be constantly
replenished. All stations which have
been opened for the receipt of books will
be continued indefinitely, and the public
is urged to form the habit of turning in
their new books as soon as they have
read them. In this way, a constant
stream of fresh books into the camps is
assured, and a most effective barrage
established against loneliness and de
pression.
rtn uuu&s receiveu win ue prepared lor
use in acconiance with the simple rules
laid down by the Library War Service of
the American Library Association, and
will be shipped to such points as the
Association may designate. The needs
of all camps and stations in this vicinity
will be taken care of first. Most of the
books collected along the Atlantic sea
board will be shipped to France as rapid
ly as possible. At least half a million
are needed there at once, and a constant
stream of replacements must be main
tained, for the wastage will be great.
Hence the call for books, books and more
books.
The American Library Association has
built up an organization capable of hand
ling thousands and thousands. That the
books will be forthcoming cannot be
doubted.
NEW BAKING REGULATIONS.
In order that the short supply of wheat
flour may be sufficiently stretched to
meet the demands of the country for
bakers’ bread, the present proportion of
wheat flour substitutes require in bread
and rolls is to be increased. New baking
regulations calling for an admixture of
at least twenty-five per cent of substi
tutes with wheat flour in commercial
bread baking will go into effect April
14th, with a possibility that a still great
er percentage of substitutes may be re
quired later.
All bread and rolls now manufactured
contain at least 20 per cent of wheat sub
stitutes. This percentage was obtained
by gradual stages, finally becoming im
perative on February 24th.

Article No. 3
SPRAY POTATOES EARLY.
First Danger Period Comes When the
Vines Are Six Inches High.
When potato vines break through the
ground and reach a height of five or
six inches the flea beetles appear by
the millions. They riddle the leaves,
“shoot them full of holes,” and so
weaken the plants that they fall an
easy victim to early blight. The beetle
can be controlled and at the same op
eration early blight can be prevented.
Early spraying, however, is necessary,
for spraying is a preventive rather
than a cure.
It is difficult to poison the flea beetle,
but for some reason or other he shuns
the vines which have been sprayed,
and becomes so discouraged that little
or no damage is done. Perhaps he is
starved out, but be this as it may, a
combined spray, containing some poi
son for those of the flea beetles that
stay, and a fungicide to guard against
the blight gives magnificent results.
The best fungicide for the purpose is
bordeaux mixture, either commercial
or home prepared. As the spores of
the blight strike the. leaf they are
killed by the copper in the spray cov
ering, and as long ns the vines are
covered the blight cannot gain head
way.
Perhaps you do not know the early
blight, hut the chances are that you
have seen it and thought it was extra
early ripening.
This blight usually comes shortly
after the potato is set, and when the
growing tubers cause a great strain on
the plant. Small brown spots appear
on the leaf; these later run together,
the whole leaf turns yellow or brown,
and the plant dies. The crop is cut
from 10 to 25 per cent, and the result
Leaf Injured by Flea Beetle.
is a harvest of small, unripe, poor
quality potatoes.
Kill two birds with one stone—spray
so as to do away with the ilea beetle,
and prevent blight at the same time.
To be effective, however, this treat
ment must begin when the vines are
only six inches high and be repeated
from three to six times during the
growing season. This will not only
‘■get” the flea beetle and the early
blight, but will prevent that most de
structive of diseases, the late blight or
rot of the potato.
“Almost every large farm in Ger
many has its alcohol distillery under
government supervision and quite a
portion of the crop is turned into de
natured alcohol, which is used Instead
of gasoline, kerosene, etc., for gas en
gines and other industrial purposes.
There is no odor in alcohol like gaso
line; it is not an explosive, and the
same bulk will go considerably farther
than gasoline. A German farmer
would think it as strange to buy gaso
line for his power engine or automo
bile as one of our farmers would to
buy Milk.”—Bulletin Wisconsin Potato
Growers’ Association.
SAVE THE LABOR IN GROWING
POTATOES.
There are but two ways of saving
human labor in growing potatoes; one
Is to use more horses per plow, two
row cultivators instead of one-row
cultivators, and the like; the other is
to make labor produce more bushels
per hour, and in this way reduce the
labor cost per bushel.
In certain New York counties some
five years ago it was found that it
took about Go hours of human labor
to grow an acre of potatoes, as fol
lows;
Man Hours Per Acre.
Plowing . 6.4
Fitting . 5.5
Planting .12.4
Cultivating .13.8
Harvesting and hauling....27.5
The average yield of the farms stud
ied was about 103 bushels per acre, so
that every hour a man put in in raising
potatoes brought back a shade more
than one and one-half bushels of po
tatoes.
This production per hour can be in
nnnoon/I in uui-uvul ll'qirc Plfl’filivOP
can be used to increase the yields. It
will do this without a particle of ex
tra labor until It coiwes to harvesting.
Even then It takes little more time
to pick up a 200-bushel crop than to
harvest a crop producing only 100
bushels per acre.
A poison spray may be used to kill
the Colorado beetle. This adds but
slightly to the labor cost of growing
the crop, but very greatly to the size
of the crop.
Instead of the poison spray a com
plete spray or combined insecticide
and fungicide may be used to protect
the crop against bugs, beetles and
blights, and to insure the potato grow
er against the loss of the time and the
money which he puts into the crop.
Finally, as fully as important as any
of the foregoing, the grower may make
use of better bred seed which will,
with a given amount of labor, produce
more potatoes by far than the mongrel
stock so often planted.
