WANTS INFORMATION AS TO SEED STOCKS. Washington, D.“C.7'Aug, 25-(Spe <ial to Daily Democrat!—The fact that In some sections there is a shortage of good seed while in others there Is a surplus makes it possible for the committee on seed stocks of the United States department of agriculture to help in the distribution of these surpluses. The committee wishes, therefore, to locate all available stocks of good seed of agricultural crops, especially wheat, oats. rye. crimson clover (In the hull or hulled), and hairy vetch. The committee will be glad if anyone, farmer or dealer, will send information in regard to the quantities and prices of seed of the above sorts which he can offer for sale f o. b, his shipping point, bags extra, or included as the case may be. The information should give in each case the name of the variety (especially in the case of grain crops), condition , of the seed as to purity, year grown. , and the price. The committee will then undertake to get such information into the hands of those who want the seed. The committee hopes that this request will receive wide circulation and an immediate response, as it is now time to get seel in the hands of planters for fall use. Address Committee on Seed Stocks.

CCHQOL HE ADC AhD INDIAN INSTITUTIONS JOIN BATTLE } TO SAVE COUNTRY'S FOOD | Washington, August 25 Twenty J two thousand copies of the home can- ! ning and drying manuals of the Nation | al Emergency Food Garden Commin J Hion, which will give $5,000 in prix's | for the best exhibits of canned vegc | tables, were today sent to superlnten- . dents of public schools and Indian | schools in various parts of the enuu I try. ‘ Carrying the food conservation cam paign into the schools was agreed uu on at conferences between Charles Lathrop Pack, president of the coinmission. P. P. Claxton, federal commissioner of education, und Cato Sells commissioner of Indian affairs. "A great deal can be accomplish- <1 in food conservation with the aid of the school children," declared President Pack, "just as hundreds of thousands of vegetable gardens were planted by pupils early in the spring. Oui bulletins on canning and drying fruits and vegetables will be given to the pupils with instructions that they arc to take them into their homes so that their mothers and sisters will be benefited by the helpful hints in these manuals in their canning work. We plan to send many thousands more of these popular bulletins to other schools throughout the country.” Cato Sells, Federal Commissioner of Indian Affairs, is cooperating with the commission by instructing the superintendents of Indian schools to encourage food conservation among the students. Two thousand copies of the commission’s canning and drying manuals were sent to the Indian school on the Cherokee reservation, near Asheville, N. C, Direction for war garden committees and state and county fairs to avail themselves of the $5,000 in prizes offered by the commission may be obtained by writing to S. P. Ridsdale, the secretary, at 210 Maryland Bldg. o —— INCREASED IMPORTS Are Attributed to Raw Material! and Foods. The increase in the value of imports into the United States during the fiscal year 1917 is attributed in large part to increased receipts of noncompetitive raw’ materials and foods in a statement issued today by the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce of the Department of Commerce. The total value of imports during the year ended June 30, 1917, is placed at |2,659.355.185 as compared with $2,193,000.000 in 1916: $1,674,000,000 in 1915. and $1,894,000,000 in 1914, the last normal year before the war. Os the total increase of $765,000,000 in 1917 as compared with 1914, according to the announcement $477,000,000 represents crude materials for use in manufacturing such as gums and other crude chemicals, copper ore, row cotton, jute, manilia, sisal and other fiber, hides and skins, India rubber, rawsilk and wool. The imports of crude materials were valued at $633,000,000 in 1914. forming 33 per cent of the total imports, against $1,110,000,000. r 42 per cent of the total in 1917. Imports of foodstuffs, largely of trop ical production, such as cocoa, coffee, bananas, cocoanuts, and other fruits and nuts, olive oil, spices, tea and sugar, amounted to $475,000,000 in 1914, and to $679,000,000 in 1917, an increase of $204,000,000. Partly manufactured products for further use in manufacturing, including nitrate of soda and other chemicals, unrefined copper ingots, cocoanut, palm and other oils, tin in bars, lumber and woodpulp, were valued at $475.000.0')0 in 1917 against $319,000,000 in 1914, an increase of $156,000,000. On the other hand, the imports cf the group of finished manufactures ready for consumption, including cloths, laces, and other cotton manuI factures, chinaware, burlaps, and linens, machinery, and other iron and ' steel manufactures, kid gloves and other leather articles, and silk fabriccs and laces decreased by $70,000,000 ?n 1917 as compared with 1914. The imports of this group, valued at $449,000.000, formed 24 per cent of the total imports in 1914, against a value of $379,000,000. or only 14 per cent of the total, in 1917. Further details regarding articles imported, with principal countries of origin will appear in the “Monthly Summary of the Foreign Commerce of the United States,” for sale at 15 cei,ts a copy, or $1.50 per year, by the Superintendent of Documents, Government Printing Office, Washington, D.
