WASHINGTON', April 13,
America's war preparation, bo far as con
trrvatlon of foodstuffa la concerned. Is coin
forward on a lliree-ycars-ot-war basis. Of
ficials are convinced that the war may come
to an end within a year If Germany Is un
successful In her efforts to negotiate n
separate peaco with Russia. It sho Is suc
cessful, the war will run at least threo years
moio. It not five. Whatever tho turn of
events, officials aro determined that the
United States shall "ft ho hampered by tho
"short war" fallacy that proved so serious
a menace to Allied success early In the war
Preparations oro brine made therefore for
three yeais ot vvnr with Germany,
Du'lnR i he first year America's task, ns
the I'Tsldent has pointed out, wit' bo to
finance and feed our Allies. Finance Is an
exact science. This ; oblem will be worked
out by experts. There Is no question ot
Its siiccesotui solution. Pcedlnp Is a more
difficult problem a problem for tho na
tion. Planting of homo gardens Is belnR
urged by the Department of Agriculture
entirely ns a means of supplying local needs
and preventing shunting oft of food that
might go to the nations actively prosecut
ing the war to supply the American house
holder. Thoiplan has met with phenomenal
success, but the food problem Is far from
tohctl.
Farmers throughout the country nre
reeding the grounds for bumper crops. For
ji vcar America will have Kutope to feed.
Overproduction Is Impossible. Highest
prlcps aro assured. The farmer. In conse
quence. Is ulantlng every available acre.
With the plantlnc season nearly over
the department Is now face to faco with Its
first gigantic problem. It Is that of cultiva
tion. The Industrial boom that has swept and
till Is sweeping the country has drawn
thousands of men from tho fields Into the
factories. Tho farm hand of yesterday
Is tho munition maker of today. There Is
a very real shortage of farm labor. How
to relievo this shortage and provide men
to caro for growing crops and for harvesting
In the fall Is tho big problem now before the
Department ot Agilculture.
When France and England went to war
their armies were recruited Indiscriminately
from every class. Men were taken from the
mines and mills to fill the ranks. The result
was labor shortage. England's mines, one
of the mainstays of the Allies, were In dan
ger of falling Idle. Miners had to bo lushed
back from Franco and their guns replaced
With picks nnd shovels.
America has not been blind to the moral
of that experience. Workers In munition
factories have been exempted from the oper
ation ot tho conscription bill. But this Is
npt enough, the Department of Agriculture
feels. We have only half learned our lesson,
officials say. Wheat Is as much a munition
of war ns slxtecn-lnch shells. Armies travel
on their bellies.
CONSCRIPTION' F.OP. FARMS
The farmhand should bo exempt from
conscription, tho Department of Agricul.
ture believes, else our crops will rot In the
fields. That Is' not enough. Other meas
ures must bo taken possibly conscription
of labor for the farms. Secretary of Agri
culture Houston plans to lay this entire
problem beforo tho President at the next
Cabinet meeting.
In addition to the shortage of men there
Is a shortage of fertilizer. Potash, which
sold for $40 a ton In 1013, sells for $475
today. The world supply of potash camo
from Germany. Phosphorus, another nec
essary fertilizer Ingredient, is produced
In large quantities in this country. We
have tho largest phosphorus beds In the
world. But the cost of production has
mounted owing to the Increased cost of sul
phuric acid, and phosphorus has gone to
high prices in consequence. Chilian fil
trates, another valuable fertilizer ingro
dlent, are being monopolized by tho Gov
ernment for munitions production, to which,
they are indispensable.
Requisitioning a part of the Chilian ni
trate supply for use ot the farmers Is un
thinkable to tho Department ot Agricul
ture. Nitrates can be obtained from other
sources. An excellent fertilizing material,
containing a high percentage of nitrate. Is
produced as a by-product of the coke ovens.
Prices for this mMcrlal are being main
tained at a high level and without ex
cuse. In tho view of the Department of
Agriculture. Price fixing of this material
way be resorted w ns a remedy for the
fertilizer problem.
THE PROBLEM OF TRANSPORT
When the labor nnd fertilizer problems
have been disposed of, there remains an
other colossal question with which tho De
partment of Agriculture must wrestle. It
Is the problem of transport. For a year
American railroads have been unable to
handle the volume of business thrust upon
them. Thore have been embargoes and al
most constant freight congestion. There
Will be no Improvement under wartime con
ditions. Government operation of railroads
ill not BoLve the problem. The slmplo
fact is that the equipment of American
railroads Is insufficient. It was Insufficient
to handlo boom trade. In times of peace.
With troops to bo moved and munitions tv
be hauled, Improvement is not to be ex
pected In time of war.
Officials- nhabb their heads over the prob
lem. No solution has been advanced. One
measure has been taken that will reduce
the pressuro on tho railroads, but it con
tributes little to tho ultimate solution of the
transportation problem. Various sections of
the country that have depended on other
districts for their food supply, while divert
Jng their own fields to nonedlble crops, are
Ming urged to make themselves self-supporting.
,1
For the last two weeks Carl Vrooman,
Assistant Secretary of Agriculture, has been
preaching this lesson to the South. Vroo
man returned to Washington today, believ
ing that his words had fallen on fertile
ground and that the South, which up until
this year has bought throe-quarters of a
billion dollars' worth of foodstuffs annu
Uy from the. North, will this year raise
enough produce to feed Itself without out
side assistance. Vrooman believes he has
headed oft a dangerous tendency to plant
cotton and tobacco, which are selling at
highest prices In history, Instead of food
stuffs. MAY REQUISITION AUTOS
Making the South self-supporting in the
od line will relieve the railroads of the
train of carrying three-quarters of a bil
lion dollars' worth of food from the North
to the South, but It leaves the transporta

The Kid we have loved and cuddled
Stepped out for the Flag today.
We thought him a child, a baby
With never a care at all,
Hut his country called him man-size
And the Kid has heard the call.
He piuscd to watch the recruiting,
Where, fired by the fife and drum,
He bowed his head to Old Glory
And thought that it whispered: "Come!"
The Kid, not being a slacker,
Stood forth with patriot-joy
To add his name to the roster
And God, we're proud of the boy!
The Kid has gone to the Colors;
It seems but a little while
Since he drilled a schoolboy army
In a truly martial style.
But now lie's a man, a soldier,
And we lend him listening ear,
For his heart is a heart all loyal.
Unscourgcd by the curse of fear.
His dad, when he told him, shuddered,
His mother God bless her! cried;
Yet, blest with a mother-nature,
She wept with a mother-pride.
But he whose old shoulders straightened
Was Granddad for memory ran
To years when he, too, a youngster,
Was changed by the Flag to a man!

BERRIES, FRUIT TREES AND SHRUBS
ADD TO VARIETY OF HOME GARDENS
Not Too Late to Make a Start on Luscious Fruits or Dec
" orative Shrubbery How to Handle Stock,N
Plant and Prune
By JOHN BARTRAM
I have been asked It It Is too late to
plant fruit trees and shrubbery, such as
lilacs, splreas, deutzla, etc. By no means.
Right now Is a good time. Dormant trees
aro on tho market from March on, but the
"safety-first Idea" reserves the planting
till tho cold Is out of the ground and tho
soil can be finely pulverized to go about
the toots 'and permit them to strike down
Immediately through the mellow, friable
earth.
When stock Is first received, unpack
and look It over carefully, pruning off with
clean cuts any broken or bruised roots.
Then plant at once If possible, otherwise
heel In, In a well-drained, shady place.
Cover tho roots thoroughly and pack the
soil around them to exclude the air, that
would tend to 'dry them. Strawberry and
black raspberry' plants are very perishable,
as the roots aro young, soft and tender,
more like vegetnblj plants than shrubs.
They should bo planted first and with tho
utmost care.
Heeling in simply means to bury the roots
at once In earth. Never allow the roots
to He exposed to wind or snow, as when
tho roots become dry the tree Is likely
to die.
HANDLING THE STOCK
Should the stock arrlvo In a frozen con
dition, put the package In a cool, dark
place and keep It well covered up where
It will thaw out very slowly. Do not un
pack until thoroughly thawed and the stock
will come out all right. But If. owing to
long delay en route In warm and dry
weather, the stock appears dried and bark
shriveled, then bury it, root, body and top,
In tho ground, well wet down, for four to
six days, which will usually revive It. They
should not lie in water but wet soil.
If the ground or weather is at all dry
It will pay you well to puddle the stock
before planting, and especially so the more
tender and perishable stock. The pudd.e
Is made of nine-tenths clay and one-tenth
clear cow dung or well-rotted horse manure
mixed and thinned with water to thecon
slstency of paint or cream. Into thl s dip
the roots of plants and trees after they
havo recehed what trimming they need.
HOW TO PUV.NT
In digging holes for setting ot trees
keep the top soil In one pile and tho bot
tom so" '" mother. When the tree Is
rdwed in the hole use the top soil first In
Flowing n the earth around the roots
of the Tree, and then fill up the top of the
hole with the soil taken from tho bottom.
Prune off all broken roots with a sharp
knife and cut tho tops well back before
Makifa good, big, generoua hole and
sp?ead the ?oots out evenly and In the r
natural position. Never curl up the roots
Sr otherwise crowd them In the hole. Work
the dirt n with the flngers-the hand Is
the best tool ever Invented for this pur-
PManure can be worked into the soil at
the bottom of tho hole It covered with
earth welt so the roots will not come In
contact with the manure. To surround the
roots of a tree or shrub with manure will
surely result In Its death. Earth, only.
mUwUnUtnethhore00ltsB,n.led up do not raise
the earth above the level of the surroiuid
ng Und, but rather leave a slight depres
ston to catch and hold water.
A covering of manure over the top of
ihrsoll will keep tho earth cool and moist
and supply plant food at the same time.
DIGGING THE HOLES
Die holes wide and deep enough to hold
the roots without crowding or bending.
Sprsad them out In a natural position and'
work fine, moist soil among and around

soil should be firmly Iramped down. Then

and unt?amped. U you use any water at

passersby.
soi;
mulch them with coarse manure, chip dirt,
or spent tan bark, which Is tho next best
thing.
Watering trees and plants as usually
dono Is a damage rather than a benefit.
A little water applied to tho surface gen
erally falls to reach the roots, but hardens
the surface soil and causes It to bake,
which In turn produces moro evaporation.
Do not water frequently, but when you do
so, do It thoroughly and as follows: First
dijiw about two Inches depth of the soil
away from tho tree for a foot or moro
all around, thus making a basin. Into this
pour one or two bucketfuls of water. After
all the water has soaked away (and not
beforo) draw tho dry surface soil back
again. In this way the water gets where
It Is needed and leaves the burf.ico soil
mellow. '
HOW TO l'RLW'H
It Is best to pi une after the stock has
been planted rather than before. It you
plant In the fall, defer pruning until spring,
but bo sure you do so beforo It starts to
grow. Spring-planted btock pruno quick as
planted, as follows: Standard and dwarf
pears, quinces, plums, cherries and apricots,
prune back to three to five spurs four to
sfx Inches long where you want the head.
Pruno off everything else. On peach and
nectarines trim off all branches close to the
body, and cut tho body down to the length
you want the trunk two or thrco feet 1b
high enough. Small fruits of all kinds cut
back to a btub of six Inches. On straw
berries, pull oft all tho leaves except the
two youngest. Also break off the flower
stock If that appears. Inexperienced per
sons usually think this treatment too harsh,
but It Is a fact that stock ,b'o treated is
much more likely to live and grows much
faster than unpruned stock. Stock on which
tho roots are preserved whole should havo
them trimmed back from one-third to one
half also, but trees usually get as much
root pruning as Is good for them In tho
digging, and all that Is necessary Is to re
move the mutilated roots and mako a
smooth cut where lacerated or torn.
