Woodbury,’ chief in orticulture at Purdue university. It ill tend to increase the consump- —. on of these healthful foods, at the ime time reducing the price to the tnsumer. Much waste will thus be revented. while the farmer will setre a reasonable profit for his laor. While thus benefitting every merican, more staple foods will Iso be released for needy Europe. The simplest plan which will interst the public in roadside markets re- “ uires a bulletin board in front of the irm home. This bulletin may take ’ie form of a blackboard or poster, ■ ■ n which should be neatly printed a :st of the articles for sale. Sales •dll be increased by displaying a mall basket of fruit or vegetables, .lake the price as well as the product ■ t tractive.

nlon of fruits and vegetables in mtfficlent quantity to make the roadside market a continuous source of profit during the growing season. A market of this kind should bo held ala specified place, on specified days of the week. A cool, shaded spot on a well traveled road; kept comparatively free from dust, will ntrnct many motorists. Produce for sale may be disnlayejl on a wagon, on portable tables, or upon a well kept lawn. Neatness and attractiveness about the stand are essential in securing automobile trade. When one farmer Is unable to supply enough produce for such a market, a group of farmers can agree to establish a regular stand. Their wives and children can aid greatly in putting up an attractive display of well graded products. Where the products from a group of farmers in a community are marketed at a single stand, the grading and packing problem should gradually take care of itself. The kind of package which is popular with the trade will be adopted; the sales system which gets business will be imitated. to Increase wheat AND RYE YIELDS. Specialists of the department of agriculture and the state agricultural colleges hope that by better methods the average yield per acre will be at least maintained wherever there is a fertilizer shortage and will be increased in other sections. Much educational work will be done to make this desire an actuality, and in fhls campaign, the most, successful growers will have a prominent part. For instance, it is stated that on the land that could be sown to fall wheat this autumn, it is possible materially to increase the yield per acre by putting into practice some principles that are already well known to most farmers. There should appeal especially to those who cannot increase their usual acreages without doing injustice to other crops which should be grown. These principles may be summed up as follows: (1) Plow early.. Give the plowed land two months to settle before sowing where possible. (2) Compact the late-plowed land with roller and harrow. (3) Don’t plow after a cultivated crop. Prepare such land with disc and harrow. (4) Make the seed bed a fit place for the seed. (5) Sow with a drill, sound, plump, clean seed of adapted variety. (6) Prevent losses from smut by treating infected seed with formaldehyde. (7) Make the soil fertile with manure or fertilizers applied judiciously where needed. (8) Reduce winter killing by following the above suggestions. Effort and Co-operation Necessary. The accomplishment of this great increase of wheat and rye acreage without disrupting correct farming practice will call for tremendous effort on the part of farmers. However, the U. S. department of agriculture. the state colleges of agriculture and other state and local agencies are planning to aid in every way possible. • o RUSSIAN WATCH REPAIRERS WIN IN STRIKE. Petrograd, July 6 (By Mail) — The watch repairers of Petrograd have won a strike that is record breaking in its demands. Every watch repairer who receives 200 roubles a month has been raised to 300. Those who received over 200 have had an increase of 50 per cent. These increases are retroactive and go back to January 1, 1917. Every watch repairer in Petrograd, therefore, has received, in cold cash, at least 600 roubles. Every watch repairer from henceforth, will receive a month’s vacation on full pay. Every year his annual wages will be increased the size of a month's pay. When he is sick he will receive full wages for three months. If he is called to war he will receive a month’s wages and also a bonus of one month's wages for each year he has worked with the firm. If the jeweler who employs him decides to go out of business he must pay each watch maker a year’s wages. The workmen will have a board through which they will make all contracts with their employers. Any workman who is elected to this board will receive full wages from his employer, without being called upon to do anv work, TMffTast clause is that, in case of a strike, the employers must pay the full wages of the strikers for at least six weeks. Beyond that time the work men can strike without pay. GOOD PROPERTY BARGAIN. I am offering for sale the property on South Winchester street, known! as the Park betel.

IN CIOSE TOUCH With Sammies Will be Relatives —Each Sammie to Have a Secretary. TO WRITE LETTERS If He is Wounded or Too Busy Fighting—Division Arranged for That. (United Press Service) (By George Martin. United Press staff correspondent.) Washington, August 15 —(Special to Dally Democrat) —Every Sammy in France will have a seccretary to write letiers to his folks if he Is trio badly wounded or too busy swatting the Boches to do it himself. Adjutant General McCain has arranged the same secretarial system for the first 687,000 draft Sammies in cantonment camps in this country this fall. And for the militiamen, likewise. “Our plan to enable friends and relatives of American soldiers to get prompt information as to their welfare,” said Gneral McCain today, “will require, for every million men, about 1,200 officers, enlisted men and field clerks.” World headquarters for this organization, which is already at work will be in the State, War and Navy Building in Washington. It is known officially as “The Statistical Division.” In addition to writing letters and post cards, the duties of members of the division will include: Gathering information concerning individuals at general, divisional, regimental and company headquarters, field and base hospitals, ports of embarkment and camps in this country where troops are mobilized and trained. Handling inquiries concerning prisoners of war; both German prisoners in America and American prisoners in Germany. A big.training school for these Sammies' secretaries has been established at the war department and is in operation now. Officers of the division are being selected from the officers’ training camps and will be sent to France and to places in this country as soon as trained. “Every company of American soldiers, everywhere,” said General McCain, “will be accompanied by one or more of these men regularly stationed with it and part of whose job will be to know every man in the company.” “This man will report to the regimental statistical division which will be especially charged with the preparation and forwarding of casualty lists and data as to wounded and seriously ill. “Information will likewise be reported as to all civilians accredited with the army. “The organization will finally be completed by having a regimental section with each regiment. This will lie in charge of the regular adjutant, assisted by the chaplain.” General McCain wishes all Sammies, their relatives and friends to make full use of this secretarial division. Word can be gotten home, he feels, more expeditiously by the Sammy, through one of the division’s form, postcards than by any other means except expensive cable. These postcards are official and do not have to be delayed for censoring. If unable to write himself, his statistical secretary will gladly do it for the Sammy. o HERE'S PROOF Decatur Citizen Tells of His Experience.
