GOVERNMENT DEMANDS
FLOUR SUPPLY REPORTS
All Householders Must Report Flour Supply at Once Card
Frtoled in Newspapers rVust be Used.
All householders in Pennsylvania have been ordered by the United
States Food AduilnlutraUon to report the quantity of flour In tliolr po
scBsion on a fluur ttupply card Ixbtixd by the Federal Food Administrator
for thlH County and printed below 1 tbU paper. The card will not bo
Issued In other form than that found printed In the newspapers so that
If you are affected by the order you munt cut out the clipping and mail It
to the Federal Food Administrator for your County.
. The following statement was Issued by Mr. Heinz, Federal Food Ad
ministrator for Pennsylvania, In cammcntlnj oh the above rule:
"The flour supply card Issued by the Food Administration Is the first
step In a campaign to (learn how much wheat flour Is stored away In thu
l)oiies. Householders are given the opportunity to report on the flour
supply card the number In their households, the amount of wheat flour on
hand (Including whole wheat and graham flour) and the amount they
consider their thirty days' requirement. ' Those who fall to report will
run the risk of prosecution and the penalty for hoarding $3000 fine and
two years' Imprisonment or both. If any persons fail to report, the Food
Administration can promise them no leniency, If found guilty of honrdlng.
"By directing the public to state their fluur holdings on the flour sup
ply card the Food Administration Is taking the step necessary to prevent
a posslblo flour famine. Hoarders hasten famine. If next May, June or July
we find mirselvct without wheat flour, It will he because thousands of tons
are stored away In cellars by unpatriotic householders who banish any con
sideration of the soldiers lu their greed to have their own desire satis
fied. Tlio flour supply card Is a government action which will niuat with
the approval of all those who have taken the time to study food conditions
abroad and who "know therefore that food Is probably the foremost factor
In winning the war."
OFFICIAL HOUSEHOLDER'S FLOUR REPORT
WRITE CAREFULLY.
No householder Is permitted to purchase over 4fi pounds of wheat flour
nor to have more than 30 days' supply. Every householder must report Im
mediately (on tils form) to their County Food Administrator. Make re
port ot nil wheat flour on hand whether It Is excess or not and urge on
your neighbors tlAt Importance and necessity of making this report prompt

Get Tbe Pruning Done Now.
The pruning season is on. It
has been on all winter but the
weather and other conditions
have been such that it was prac
tially impossible to work in the
orchard.
Prof. J. G. Sanders, Zoologist
of the Pennsylvania Department
of Agriculture, says:
"When working ' in the apple
trees remember that old adage,
'Winter pruning makes wood and
summer pruning makes fruit.'
A heavily pruned apple tree will
make a big growth the lolloping
season. If it is a young tree just
coming ito bearing there is
dangr of delaying of fruit
productions. If it is an old
tree and tbe cutting is heavy
there will be a strong growth of
water sprouts. Delay heavy
pruning until next June or July.
"In pruning an app'e tree re
member that an open headed tree
is not a vase-shaped tree. It is
a tree in which the branches are
well spaced all over the tree and
far enough apart so that when the
foliage is on there will be a good
circulation of air through tbe tree
and that all parts of tbe tree will
be reached by tbe sun sometime
during the day.
' Have r,o. crooked limbs in the
tree, because limbs with sharp
bends or angles cannot carry
nearly as heavy a load as can
those that are straight. Crooked
limbs will split and break under
heavy loads.
"When removing limbs, if they
be large, make the first cutin the
under side of the limbs a foot or
more from where the final cut
will be and when it is no longer
possible to cut from the under
side start cutting on the upper
side just a little farther out.
Much injury to trees is saves by
this method Afterwards the
stump can be removed making a
cut Close up to tbe trunk. Do
Dot leave a shoulder, because if
tbe wound is not close to the
trunk, sap will not be drawn to
all edges of the wound, which
will m i'ia it slow to hat1, permit
ting rot to set in and permanently
injuring tbe tree
'Paint all wounds, as soon as
they have dried sufficiently to
take paint, with pure raw linseed
oil and white lead paint. D 'ies,
jtpan, turpentine and boiled oil
are U'jurous to the cambium lay
er, killing it and thus making tbe
wound larger and longer in heal
iug.
"Cherry trees teed but little
pruning as a rule except 'to take
out interlocking branches.
Sometimes from lack of attention
for a number of years some
cherry trees bi;come vary dnse.
In such cases thn thinning out of
the wood is absolutely necessary.
'Pl'iiu trees ribo ild ba ctre
fully examined and if the bead
ire too thick remove j it enoujfh
wood to insure a good circulation
of air through thi.ni when tbe
foliage is on. If there is not a
free current of air through a
plum tree there is greater dam
age from brown rot because of
the more humid conditions.
"Peach tices are piuned dif
fereotly thn the other fruit
trees. In training tbe young
trees, endeavor to produce atop
tuat is higher on the ou Laide thau
in thecenter a sortof umherella
and in doing, this last season's
growth is cut back nearly a half.
As the trees grow older this
heavy cutting is wot induged iu,
but the leaders are shortened
back and if there are too many
branches some are tak&u out:
luduce some short branches to
grow on the upright brauches to
produce foliage, so when the
branches open up and come down
utidtr tbe lord ot fiuit trees will
oe a little folioge to protect tb
brunches from Bunscald. Alao
these inside branches will bear
fruit. '
"Get this pruning done at once
and, should bad weather come,
speud as much time as necessary
to put the spray iug apparatus in
good shape so tuat it wul be
ready for use "
Which Shall It Bt? -In.
1902 blight destroyed 50,.
030,000 bushels of potatoes in
New York State alone. Last
year nearly one half of Maine's
crop was lost by the ravages of
disease. Whut'wili this year
oring furtli? No one knows, and
for that reason alone every pu
tato grower must take s tups to
prevent the loss. Years ago,
when it cost vory little to grow
aa acre of potatoes, there was
little incentive to spray.. Men
preferred to take a change to
gamble ou the prospect. But no
potato grower can do that now.
lie lnvkbts ico much money iu
lueseud, fertn.zjr, aud bbor uec
essary to produce a crop, to take
any chaoceon loss which can be
prevented. And all tbe potato
troubles, blights, Ilea and Col
orado beetles, can be prevented.
Though and continued spraying
will do it.
You insure your investment in
property against tire. Why not
insure your investment in pota
toes against disease? You are
taking a bigger chance each year
with the disease than you are
with fire.
Which shall it be? A fine crop
of sound, tubers, or a reeking
mass of rotting vines with no
protest but "what might have
been."
