Philadelphia Jan. 3rd, Spurred
by the example of the thriving;
town of South Orange, New Jer
eey, where a house-to-house can
as by war stamp salesmen re
suited in ninety-seven percent of
the population of 7000 buying one
or more stamps, the Pennsylva'
nia branch of the National War
Saving Committee has doubled
its efforts to increase the num
ber of agencies in the state.
Director Robert K. Cassatt is
firmly . of the opinion that any
number of towns in Pennsylva
nia can equal the record of South
Orange. In that town a com
mittee of patriotic hustlers was
organized and each member can
assed twenty houses, the result
being that practically every per
son bought either a $4.25 war
savings stamp or a 25-cent thrift
tamp.
Similar effort is necessary in
eastern Pennsylvania, Mr. Cas
satt declared today, if the quota
of $115,000,000 is to be sold.
Within a short while the police
force of Philadelphia will be uti
lized in a house-to-house canvas
involving the distribution of 410,
000 thrift circulars, there being
that many homes in the city.
William H. Wilson, Director of
the Department of Public Safety
will personally head the move
ment to make every citizen an
owner of baby bonds.
Tie Plight if Newspapers.
' All over New England news
papers are marking up their sub
scription price. Within a short
time three in New Hampshire
which were rated as good publica
tions have gone out of business.
The mounting coBt of everything
pertaining to a newspaper made
it impossible for them to do
business at a profit The effect
of high prices is felt in every
other newspaper office. In many
cases it seems impracticable to
increase the cost of subscriptions
and advertising to keep pace
with the costs, and the only thing
the publisher can do is to cut
corners a little sharper, and to
work harder than ever before.
- In our own community, the
Mount Union Times, formerly a
dollar paper, advanced to $1.50
and is now marked up to $2.00 a
year, The Everett papers are
$2.00 unless paid strictly in ad
vance, when the price is $1.50.
In fact, no reasonable person ex
pects to get a newspaper at the
same price as before the war, and
mighty few people kick about
the advanced price.

Order Fertilizer Early,
Advises College Expert
The fertilizer problem should
be given immediate attention by
Pennsylvania farmers, advises E.
L. Worthen. of the agronomy de
partment of the Pennsylvania
State College.
There need be no hesitancy in
ordering the normal amount of
fertilizing materials. Although
fertilizer prices are high they are
proportionally lower than those
of farm produce. Tue rate of
application of plant food should
be increased rather tban dimin
ished. There is an opportunity lor
great saving in the more intelli
gent purchase of fertilizers. Acid
phosphate, bonemeal, or rock
phosDhate can, in most cases, be
profitably substituted fcr tbe
high priced mixed materials.
Farm manure should be consort
ed and applied judiciously in or
der to furnish costly nitrogen
and potash in mixed goods. '
Acid phosphate can be pur
chased for about $20 a ton f. o. b,
.Baltimore. It contains nearly
twice as much phosphate as the
ordinaty mixed fertilizer. At
this price we cannot afford, either
from the standpoint of business
or patriotism, to If eepdown yields
for want of tLttt plant food.
Fertilizer prices will not go
down in tbe near future. Freight
is moving slowly at beet. Let us
benefit ourselves as well as aid
in reducing additional freight
congestion in the spring by or
dering fertilizers now.

New Dog Law Will Boost
Sheep Raising in State.
The sleep industry in Penn
sylvania U lo receive an impetus
when the new Pennsylvania Dog
Law goes into effect on .January
15, according to State College
authorities. This law provides
that on or before that day each
year every owner ot a dog six
months old or more must obtain
a license from hi county officials
for which he must pay $1 or $2
for male dogs and f 2 or $1 for
females. A metal tag will ac
company each license and must
bo worn by the do? at all times.
Further provisions of the dog
law wh'ch greatly affects the
sheep industry are the clauses
governing night straying. These
specify thai all dogs, between
sunset tnd sunrne, either bo
confined within an enclosure,
firmly secured by a collar which
will retain them on the premises
or under reasonable control
when engaged in lawful hunting.
It is unlawful for any person
to harbor any d g not having a
license. Any person may kill
any dog which he sees in tbe act
of pursuing, worrying or wound
ing any lives took or attacking any
human beings No liability shall
attach to such persons. Any un
licensed dog entering a field shall
constitute a private nuisance and
the owner of the field or tenant
or his agent may kill such dog
while it is in the field, without
liability for such killing.
It shall be the duty of every
police officer to seize and detain
any dog bearing the proper tag
and found running at large. The
owner shall be notified aud pay a
reasonable expense incurred in
holding the dog. It shall be the
duty of every police officer to
kill every dog which does not
rear a license tag, according to
the law.
Grading Seed Corn.
All seed corn should be grad
ed before the ears are shelled,
says the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, because
shelled corn can not be easily
graded. The grading is done to
Becure uniformity of bize and
shape in each lot of kernel), so
that they will be dropped evenly
from tbe corn planter when it is
set for special lots of seed.
If the seed ears vary as to size
of kernel, they should be sep
arated into to or Ihree grades,
according to the type of grain
they bear. These grains should
be shelled separately always by
hand and not 'by a mechanical
shellor and then tested in the
corn planter. After findiug the
numbers cn the planter plates
which drop the kernels most
uniformly, each lot should be
numbered with corresponding
figures. All this should be done
when work is slack in the winter
and before the spring rush be
gins. Be euro there is enough for
two years' plantings. You may
need if yourself if the first plant
ing is drowned out; and there
never was a time when there was
not a demand for seed, corn
known to be good.
More Dogs Shipped to Farms.
Thee has been a large locrese
this fall in tbe number of bogs
shipped to farms and ranches for
breeding and feeding, instead of
being sold for slaughter, This
movement of "etockera and feed
ers" from the largo markets ot
the country was four times times
as heavy during October this year
as during the same month last
year, and for September an J O
tober combined the movement
ras three times heavier this year
than last- These hogs that have
gone back to farms and ranches
instead of bein? slaughtered will,
of course, increase the pig crop
next year. The movement is
considered a definite indication of
mo of the results of the cam
paigns of the Uuited States Da
partment of Agriculture, State
ccJleges, and other agencies,
waged in all the leading bog pro
ducing States with the fbjcl of
bringing about the savings of
breeding stock this winter.
Figures of the Bureau of Mar
kets of the United States De
partment of Agriculture show
that from the large markets of
tbe country (with the exceptipn
of Chicago and Omaha, from
which figures are not now avail
able) 65,210 stocker and feeder
hogs were shipped during Octo
ber this year, while only 14,246
moved from the same markets in
October, 1916- During Septem
ter this year 23,457 stockers and
feeders were shipped, as com
pared with 12,879 during Sep
tember. 1917. This gives a total
of 88,667 for September and Oo
tiber this year and 27,125 for
the same period last year.
