No garden is complete without its col onies of spring and summer flowering hulbs. For instance, what flower of the garden in springtime can vie for hrilliao cy and general effectiveness with the Iu lip? The colors range from pure whiti through shades of yellow, pink, rose am scarlet to blackish marooo, therefore an desired color scheme can be easil; earned out. By the use of Early an Darwin Tulips (which are later flowering they may be had in bloom from April June. If wanted primarily lor cuttin purposes, then plant largely of the Dar win varieties. Narcissus should also he freely used These, by the way, are often called Daffo dils, but the botanical name for all thi family is Narcissus, and they aregroupec in several distinct sections.

SLOGAN: RAISEJWORE WHEAT Demonstration at Preston Next Saturday Evening--Letter From County Agent. The war has brought about a genetal hortage in food products. To feed a irge pan of llie civilized world has the lot of the American fanner.

In rder thai ive may limit and feed ecessity ihe United States Agriculture has prepared a number estimates of future needs, judging rom our experiences of the past and in ie light of our prohable difficulties. Ve can now woik more effectively in ie i-ervice of man. Let me present to ou a few of these estimates: To supply lite estimnteil needs of itiose ependent upon us, the farmers of I he United States must plant for next ye.ir bout 238 million acres of land to Maple ood crops. Tliis is per cent, more tian the large plantings of List year and per cent, more than tlie ten year av- Tage plantings. Compared to last yeai ilantings these estimates recommend hat the United Slates increase the acre- ge of winter wheat 22 per rye 51 per oats 5 per and decrease he acreage of barley 6 per cent and 8 per cent.

The above figures apply to the United States as a whole. The increase in acre- ge asked of Maryland is for wheat 10 er and for rye 21 per cent. Due allowance ha; been made in these esti- nates for the usual injury to crops by in- ects and diseases, for the production of cereals by otber nations, for our limited arm labor supply, and for weather and other usual and extraordinary conditions as far as they may be foreseen. In solving the problem the department ias not reccommended any radical changes. It advocates, that each community as far as practicable produce its own food and feed, thai the production of staple crops be increased, and that the iroduction of perishable crops shall not )e increased except where there are ample facilities for transportation and marketing.

If we can as effectively increase our production through the use of the best yielding varieties, through belter cultural methods, or through the control ol insects and diseases, I believe we can patriotically choose that option. I appreciate the fact that the farmer ias always had plenty to do, and has had contend with many discouraging difficulties. Insects, diseases, Ihe weather, and shortage in labor, all. at times seem conspire (o convince us of the futility of our labor. But never before has the world met any greater suffering than it is meeting now.

can add hunger to its woe's or we can do our best by following the advice of those who are in a position to knoxv the needs of men. I believe the farmers of Caroline county have respond ed to their call. If there are any farmers who wish to secure good seed wheat, or who have seed wheat for sale, I will be glad to assist by putting you in touch with each other. There is some good seed wheat available at cost at Ihe Maryland State College. Any organization or group of farmers who would like to have a specialist dem onstrate before them the method of treating wheat by the formaline method for slinking smut or buht and scab can in al probability still secure a mao at no cost lo them.

We need more wheat. On the evening of Saturday, September 29th, there will be a wheat smut control demonstration given by C. E. Metz ger, of the Maryland State College, be fore an open meeting of the Preston Farmers' Club. You are welcome.

There will be a program in addition. We ma) also discuss the advisability of having a county organization made up of delegate: from the different sections lo look afte the agricultural needs of the county and to cunsider means for efficiently doing her bit along production lines. E. O. ANDERSON, County Agenl, Still Room For Recruits.

Lieutenant M. A. Leahy, Navy Re cruiting Officer of the Maryland district has been notified by the Bureau of Navi gStion lo send all recruits enlisted iu future directly to the training station either at Norfolk, or Newport, I. This means no more recruits will foiced lo wait further orders at the! homes, but will be able lo star! Iraininj at once. Owing to congested condiiion in the training stations on account of th rush of recruits since war was declare' it became necessary for several month to hold a great many of the recruits in their homes.

Conditions in the trainin stations have now been relieved by ex tension of accommodations. With thes new orders Lieutenant Leahy also re ceived an urgent request from th Bureau of Navigation to enlist as man mess-attendants as can be attracted fron the Maryland district. There is an ur gent need for men in this branch of the service, the only necessary qualification being experieoce as a waiter, good healtl and morals. Maryland stands wel among the other States in Navy enlist ments since the war began and Liculen ant Leahy and his recruiting staff an anxious to maintain Ihe record of the office. Special stress is laid on the state ment that the Navy is still in need men; tlie erroneous impression having been gained.

C. H. Towers, of 924 South Cecil treel, Philadelphia, a son of Mr. Thorns Towers, ol Demon, has patented and manufacturing a chair fan which works vith the minimum of effort, affnrds a reeze always, and ouglil to yield to the nvenlor speedily a big fortune. Mr.

In an interview Mr. Towers mentioned some of Ihe things he had to overcome in per- ecting the model: all racking chairs are not of ihe same degree.

A porch rocker is perpendicular, while other rockers are of an angle of five or more degrees; second, all rocking chairs do nol have rockers of the same thickness; third, the center of grav- ly Is not the same, some reclining more than others; fourth, all persons nol being he same height do not sit in the rockiog chair alike. Some will sit on the front iarl of the chair in a reclining position, while others will sit as far back as possible and! in an erect position; fifth, some 3eople want to rock hard while others will barely move the chair; no person vanls a device that will make a lot of noise and run so hard that il will turn Jleasure into work. All these have been overcome in the device. "My fan stands 52 inches and a fan which runs about 450 revolutions per minute. The fan can be turned in any direction without moving pedestal and raised or lowered at any desired angle.

It is almost noiseless and runs so lightly no tesistance can be fell when the chair is operated. It has a flexible shaft which allows the fan to he placed in any position, also allows the chair to be moved without the pedestal, It starts as soon as the chair is rocked, but will run about eight seconds after the cbair stops moving. It will fit any rock er and adjust itself lo all considerations mentioned above automatically; can be attached or detached by any eight-year old child to either left or right side of chair, being necessary to lighten one thumb-screw only."

To the Editors of the JOURNAL. In reading in your locals in this JOUKNAI. I think something mustbesaii in answer to the piece about Ihe farmer and canners. In some instances th high price of tomatoes has made th packers act very unmanly toward th grower, for they tried to get the tomaloe from the farmer where there was no con tract at all. Packers who wanted lo ac fairly with Ihe farmers gave more in or der to get them.

He saw a number of farmers whose dairy interests are large and thinks the plan proposed by the Department may be adopted. "Cottage cheese is one of the important meat substitutes," said Mr. Trimble. "It contains a larger percentage of poriein (tbe chief material for body building) than most meats and furnishes tbis material at a lower cost In every pound of collage cheese there is about one-fifth of a pound of protein, nearly all of which is 'digestible. Meats, on Ihe other hand, usually contain less protein and besides have a certain waste, such as bone and other inedible material.

A pound of cottage cheese daily would supply all the protein required by the ordinary adult engaged in a sedentary, occupation." Marydel. Mr. Alfred F. Heather, aged fifty-one, died on Tuesday lasl at his home in this place after a year's illness, from the effects of-a cancer. He is survived by Mrs.
