Norman was a very energetic man, and took much delight in his work.

Assiduously he worked and lectured and wrote articles lo ihat end. The death of Mr. Norman is very deeply regretted in this place, where he had many friends.

Far-mars and thn Liberty Loan. One aspect of the loan, ihe Liberty Loan of 1917, that the farmers of America may well consider is that a very great portion of the money raised by the bond issue will come directly into the pockets of the farmers of the nation. All of the money advanced to our allies will he expended in the United States and as they are making all of their own munitions practically all of Ihe money advanced them will be spent for Canning is Very Important. The Women's Preparedness and Survey Commission is issuing instructions from lime to time to the women of the county concerning the growing, canning and preservation of foods in the hope that their use will he of practical value in bringing before all classes the necessity for the saving of the food supply. The bulletin on canning says: Our government is asking the women of the country lo see that more fruit and vegetables are raised in the garden and preserved for winter use in the home.

This is our patriotic duty. Mr. Hoover, the chairman of the new Food Board of the Lfniied States, says: "There is no body of women in the world so capable of ribing to an emergency as the American women." THE AIR TKJIir JAR. There arc many kinds of good jars on the market. Use all you have on hand, as, it is said, the supply is short.

Directions will he given later for the sealing of crookery jars. Examine your glass jar carefully to see ihat the lop fits perfectly and that there are no dents or breaks that will keep the top from closing smoothly on the rubber. Rubbers must be new and soft (when stretched they should spring back); buy only those that are of good quality. Wash and boil Ibe jars and lops and dip Ihe rubbers for a moment in boiling water. When you remove jars from the water do not wipe them with even the cleanest cloih.

BLANCHING. This is one of the new methods which is considered very important. The fruii or vegetable lo be canned is put for a certain lime into boiling water and then dipped quickly in and out of cold water before packing in the jars. Blanching has four advantages: 1. 11 reduces the bulk and thus allows of packing more into a jar.

2. It improves the flavor and colors. 3. It gives firmness to the fruit. 4.

Il makes keeping more certain. CANNING OF SPINACH, DANDELION AND OTHER GREENS. Do'them up the same day they are picked. After washing, blanch them by boiling 5 or 10 minutes; ihis is best done by placing them in a wire basket or tying them up in a piece of sleazy cloih, as cheese cloth or flour bagging. Or, they may be steamed in a close steamer.

Remnve and dip quickly in and out of cold water. Pack closely inio the jars, add boiling water 10 fill crevices and i teaspoon of salt to a quart. Put rubber and lop in position, Jscrew partly shut but do not close completely. Put jars in a wash boiler or other vessel which has a rack in the bottom on which the jars may rest. Do not allow the jars to touch each other.

Fill Ihe boiler with water until it covers Ihe lops an inch or two. Boll for an bour and a half. Take out the jars and tighten the cover. Do not open to add more water. Next day lip on Ihe side to test the seal.

If any liquid comes out put on another rubber and rehoil lo to 15 minutes. CANNING ASPARAGUS. Asparagus is canned in Ihe same way.

MR. NORMAN'S LAST MESSAGE Suggestions and Admonitions to Our Farmers, and An Appreciation. On the day before the horrible accident in which Mr. Norman lost his life he tent the JOURNAL an article for pub- licaiion. His message possesses an interest for many readers, who will, however, read what he says with sad hearts.

Mr. Norman wrote: "I farmers were busy the tillers of the soil in Caroline are busy now. Many are too busy to read ihis and I don't blame them if they prefer to go to sleep instead of read. I know from experience the feeling and could find fault with no one who is as tired as the real farmer of Caroline if he casts reading matter lo the flames and lies down to rest during the few moments be is out of the field. There are, however, many farmers and others who are not too tired to read, and for them I have a brief message.

Agricultural life must be raised to a standard ihat will enable the farmer lo be other than a creature of circumstance. Of course, there wilt come busy seasons when several crops require attention ai ihe same time. Weaiher and oiber conditions over which we have no control are certain to force upon the most able farm manager- short periods of rush work. On the whole, however, seasons nf rush work are due to inefficiency in management at earlier seasons. "It may be well (o stop and think just why one is so busy now.

Some of the reasons that have come to me in visiting farmers all over the county will I am sure, interest many. In many cases crops are decided upon and planted without stopping to consider their relation to other crops Ibal are being grown. For instance large acreage of strawberries, tomatoes and peas are sure to result in exceedingly busy times Ihe last week in May and the first two in June. In case weather conditions interfere with Ihe normal conditions more labor and more intense management will be required. It is perfectly possible to grnw all three of these crops but is not good management to make specialties of all three.

Another reason that is very common this year is the shortage of horse feed. A great many farmers do not have enough feed to enable a horse 10 do a normal amount of work, and with extra work planned more man labor is required to make up for the reduction in horse power. It is not good management to depend on buying feed that should have been raised. The crimson clover failure of last year was known early enough to substitute rye or at least refrain from selling short on corn as many did. Another very common reason for extra labor at present is the failure to give careful management to winter labor.

Most of our farmers are busy throughout the winter season but they fail in many instances to plan their work with the summer season in mind. Then, too, many farmers in winter work more or less half heartedly. They acknowledge that there is mucb to be done, but they imagine there is an abundance of time in which to do il. There are'few farmers in the f' county who have'not had to take lime for work Ihat should have been done last winter. -Another frequent cause of labor congestion is failure to keep machinery in shape.

It is not good management to have an implement give way at a. time when a gang of men are in a field de- The Proposed Electric Road. In some quarters it is considered quite probable Ihat an electric railway, for passengers and freight, will be built down the Peninsula. The Easton Star-Democrat says: "An interesting movement affecting the future welfare of tbat section of the Eastern" Shore ol Maryland extending from Elkton to Easion, and possibly farther south, is represented in Ihe ac- live and serious consideration which Is now being given to Ihe construction and operation of an electrically equipped passenger and freight railway, extending from through Newark, Elkton, Chestertown, Centreville and Easion. "A viewing parly, representing ihose interested, have recently been in Talbot county and have reported they are most favorably impressed, not only wilh Ihe towns and settlements along the way, hut with the fertility and the unusual natural beauty and attractiveness of the landscape and Us indenting waterways.

They consider that the absence of any direct communication by rail for the towns and settlements south of Elkion warrant the construction of a standard guage railway, connecting the entire territory with ibe city of Wilmington, where the rails should join the trunk line railroads, fuinishing an unrestricted outlet in every direction for the traffic. Several prominent Easton business men have heen interested in Ihe plan. "The first question lo be settled involves Ihe terms upon which a 50.foot right of way (sufficient for a double, track, high-speed road) may be acquired and Ihe determination of the lines and conditions on wbich il may be permitted (o approach and pass through or alongside the various towns and settlements and over ihe water courses and navigable streams. They are ready to take up these questions now," Card of Thanks. Mr.

No hie wish to express their thanks lo the many neighbors and friends for their and assistance shown them during their recent bereavement. pendent upon thai machine for work, yet nearly every farmer has just such experience. The buying of implements is often left until the implement is needed in the field, which necessitates an extra trip to town and often the purchase of an implement Ihat is not just what is wanted.

1 other words, summer rush is very often due directly to a failure on the part of the farmer to do enough winter thinking. Successful farming ability comes only to the man who cultivates his mind along agricultural lines. The most profitable farm work is very frequently done at the table or desk in the house. We have many farmers in Caroline who are doing this kind of farming and you can point them out now by the fact that they are not seriously behind with their work. The agriculture of Caroline will develop as the number of these men increase." Mr.

Norman then concluded bis article with an appreciation of the farmer and his work, in these words: "The farmer raises the food that feeds us. His cotton fields and sheep give us the Clothes we wear. His peaceful fields, well planted and tilled, support everything in the world--the industries, arts, sciences, humanities, and those countless clusters of human lite we call cities. "His has heen a big job--that of starting Ihe world and keeping it going-but be has done it cheerfully, never seeking praise or glory. While the cities have bought and sold, and grown rich and fat, he has whistled and laughed, planted and harvested.

Il has taken a world calamity without precedent in history lo remind us that the farmer is carrying in his strong arms Ihe destinies of nations. "Today finds the American farmer bearing the burden of world food production. The pleas nf starving millions will come to him this year. As bis ancestors builded for character and stamina, so the crisis of Ihe present will add fiber lo Ihe character of the fanners of the future. "Will be meet Ibe demands of the hour? As he bas met every crisis in the past, Ihe American farmer is at the world's service today, ready at the threshold in her hour of need.

And what is more, Ihe American soldier as he enters Ihe trenches in France knows he can rely implicitly on the American farmer. 1 Concord. Mr. and Mrs. Roland Dukes and Mr.
