Conserving The Food Supply.

J. Ogden Armour, one of the leading meat packers and grain dealers of the country, advo

cates conservation of the food supply of the na

tion to the extent of establishing one or two meatless days a week. Armour knows where of he speaks. He is the head of the largest meat packing industry in the world. He is pleading for conservation of the meat supply on patriotic grounds. It means the loss of money to him if the consumption of meat is curtailed, but he is willing to stand the loss if it helps the American nation. The food situation in the United Stales is critical. Few of us seem to accept the situation at its face value. We are doing nothing to forestall the crisis. It is characteristic of our people to disregard danger signals. We like to take a chance. But in these critical days the taking of chance is a dangerous practice. The odds are against us. We cannot beat the game. Unless we meet the situation with a solution we are bound to pay the price of our folly.' For months The Palladium has been preaching the gospel of home gardens. This is not a charity project but a national movement. Every man in this community, whether he is rich or poor, ought to put out a garden this year. You are not a "charity case" if you do it, but you are a patriotic citizen who has sense enough to see where he can help his country. Every pound of vegetables raised at home this year is a distinct, positive, absolute, undeniable contribution to the food supply of the nation. Let every man plant a garden. Let his motive be a patriotic one. Unselfish Patriotism. The patriotic celebration to be held here Monday night calls for unselfish, disinterested, whole-hearted devotion to a common purpose. The occasion is a big one and only a big mag

nanimous spirit will make it a big success. Foolish bickering over unessential details, false ideas of your own importance, schemes for gain veiled under patriotic guises are as detrimental as they are unpatriotic. . Loyalty nowdays cannot be . measured by a yardstick and by rules. ' Prejudices and selfish interests must give way to the spirit of patriotic impulse. ? The citizens of Richmond will squelch every effort that has the earmarks of being selfish or seems to be intended for personal show or gain. The individual must merge himself into the mass and not try to make himself conspicuous as if the

whole celebration depended upon him and his ef

forts.

i The committees that have in hand the cele

bration will unwittingly make some mistakes, some feelings may be ruff led, and some persons

may feel that they have been slighted. The per

son who feels offended at ah instance of this kind is far from being a patriot and a desirable citizen. Formal invitations to the parade and other, f eatures cannot be sent to every organization in the city. Some may be overlooked, but the mistake is as unintentional as it is pardonable. Only a crank would take offense , at a mistake of this kind. Let us remember that a true patriot is not easily offended because his advice has not been sought, his name not printed on the program, his presence not invited to the stage. A true patriot is too big a man to take cognizance of these little things. Small men with narrow visions have restricted views. Big men with big visions overlook petty trifles and see only big things. Your true patriots will be the men who join into the spirit of the celebration. You will see them marching in the parade whether they were formally invited or not. You will see theni carrying flags, singing the national hymns, applauding patriotic sentiments,' rejoicing that they are "just plain, ordinary - Americans," but knowing full well that they will give a good account of themselves if the nation calls them to the trenches. And after all, is that not the big and essential factor? 1 The knowledge that you are a free American citizen, blessed to live in a grand Republic, willing to do your work with might and main in the shop or on the battlefield, is the sentiment that counts. Patriotism is so broad that it obliterates all racial feeling, all petty and trifling differences of

opinions, all rancor and discord, and welds us into

one citizenship desiring to work for a common

end for a common good.

They will probably have trouble weaning some of the young folks away from the self-service phin. Women don't like to have their names in the paper.

How to Protect Potato . . v... From Scabs and Blights

By G. I. CHRISTIE (Superintendent of Agricultural Extension, Purdue University.) Back yards, vacant lots, gardens and fields will be planted with potatoes this spring. Many people will try to grow this crop for they realize more than ever before the important place potatoes occupy in the daily menu. High prices have forced people everywhere to consider means of securing a goodly supply of this staple food for the coming year. As a result of this interest many are asking the question, "What can I do to secure a large yield of potatoes?" Seed for the coming crop will be secured from the home bin or purchased In tbet market. Much of the seed stock will come from other states,, which increases the chances for the introduction of potato diseases. P. J. Pipal of the botany division calls attention to the necessity for study and control of these many diseases. . "It is no exaggeration to state that potato diseases cut the possible average yield of potatoes in the state at least in half. Scab and various kinds of tuber rots, which cause considerable damage every season, have been with us long enough to be familiar to all. More recently several diseases, commonly known as blights and wilts, have been making their way into the potato growing districts and laying waste many promising acres of the crop. Another group of diseases, the least evident in the field and for that reason the least noticed, but considerably reducing the yield, includes such troubles as curly dwarf, leaf roll, mosais and others. 'Running out' of the seed also goes into this category. How to Disinfect Seeds "Disinfect all seed potatoes before planting and preferably before cutting by soaking for two hours In a solution prepared by mixing one pint of formaldehyde in twenty-five gallons of water." "This treatment will prevent scab,

black leg, some rots and partially, at least, a disease known an rhizoctonia. One pint will be sufficient to treat twelve or more bushels. Formaldehyde is sold in drug stores for 35 cents to .50 cents a pint: Another disinfectant, more effective, against rhizoctonia and equally effective against scab and black leg, is that.of corrosive sublimate, prepared by. dissolving four ounces of mercuric bichloride in thirty gallons of water. "Potatoes are soaked v in this solution for one and one-half hours. Owing to the corrosive and poisonous properties of the latter, however, formaldehyde solution is usually preferred. Wherever a gas-tight bin or room is available large quantities of potatoes can be I disinfected .at , one time with formaldehyde gas generated by means of potassium, permanganate (three pints of formaldehyde to twenty-three ounces of potassius permanganate). "This amount is used for 1,000 cubic feet of space, and is sufficient to fumigate about 160 bushels. Further details of this method will be furnished upon application. "When cutting seed potatoes, frst cut off a slice about one-eighth of an inch thick at the stem. It is at this point where signs of a number of serious diseases can be best detected. Discard all potatoes that show black or brown rings or blotches at this particular point, or anywhere in the tuber. If such tubers are planted they will produce, if they grow at all, diseased hills and even infect the surrounding healthy plants. The discarded seed tubers can be used, of course, even after the treatment, for table purposes and for stock feeding."
