The output of the present maple
sugar season, farmers say promise to
be the largest in the last seven or
eight years and will be worth many
thousands of dollars to the owners of
sugar groves. Weather conditions for
sugar broling have been about right
duming the past four or five weeks
and sapihas flowed from the trees ir |
streams. ' Sugar is quoted by the man-
ufacturing farmers at 16 cents per
pound, and maple syrup at $1.26 per
gallon in ‘the local market. Jobbers
are of course asking a higher price for
both sugar and syrup and they are
shipping large quanities of both to
city dealers.—Somerset Herald.

If we are to have war, let us have
the lesson of the tremendous bearng
of health problems on our armies in
camp and our citizeng at home well
learned at home beforenand, so that
We may not have to learn it by bitter
and calamitous experience. It would
seem to be a late date to have to point |
out the almost self-evident fact that
sickness will decrease the national |
efficiency by just so much, whether
it be among soldiers or non-combat-
ants, but the general public doeg not
yet give enough attemtion to this as-
pect of war's demands, the accent be-
ing placed on more spectacular ele-
mentg of prepardness.
Each individual must consider him-
self a unit of our great population to
be kept able to meet whatever comes
along. If there was ever a time when
the individual had the duty of taking
thought of how he could keep in good
health, it is now.
One of the first elements of the
health of a nation, is its rood. It can-
pot be healthy and strong without
good food and plenty of it, Therefore
agriculture an® gardening must be
intelligently and extensively stimula-
ted, so that larger crops shall be
brought forth.
The housewife’s task will be to econ.
omise the food supply and cook it with
skill, so as to make her meals tasty
and digestible.
The streams from which our domes-
tic water supply comes should be care-
fully guarded against pollution, so
that communities shall not run the
risk of being infected with some
deadly disease.
Vaccination against typoid is a val-
uable step in prepardness under con-
ditions as they are at present and the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania,
through the agents of the Department
of Heath, is prepared to give virus
for vaccination to those who ran af-
ford to purlhase it.
While our water «1~nlies have “een
improved in the Commonwealth 80
that typhoid had been cut down 75
per cent. vaccination against it dur-
ing this emergency should bridge us
over a period when we must attain
the highest efficiency of health and
give the health departments through-
out the Commonwealth time to con-
tinue their work of reducing the pol-
lutions of our streams, and enable
our people to go on with their daily
labors and produce food and all oth-|°
er. things necessary for ds to main-
tain our strenght during any war.
Smallpox is a loathsome disease
that is often fatal and under the best
of circumstances creates a long per-
iod of incapacity for work, and one
which demands the strictest kind of
quarantining of all who may occupy
ly prevented by wacc:nation. The
presence of smalllpox would great-
ly handicap the efficiency of our grea:
Commonwealth of Plennsyfivania in
servinv the nation in time of war.
The Life Extension Ins'itute, with
whom we are worninp, has estima-
ted that nearly half the body build-
ing food and 70 per cent. of the sus-
taining food on Amarican tables is!
derived from gmins such as whdat,
oats, corn, rye, barley, rice and buck-
wheat, and that these grains are ‘o
the humag machinery what coal is to.
the manufacturing = industries, the
greatest ;source of heat and power. -
The time has come to consider: these !
maitters. in a, spirit of patriotism." It
"is the duty of ‘every citizen to attain
- physical fitness, and of the people as
‘a whole, ‘to take. measures for the
increased production of food mater-
ials
Wanton destruction of food is an
injury to our country just as positive-
ly as destruction of munitions ar arms,
for in the last analysis m nation that
is well fed is the nation that will pre-
vail. These are matters alrady claim-
ing the attention of the Federal Gov-
ernment. i
Hand to hand with , the Aan
of factories and munitions must go
the mobilization of agricultural pro-
ducts, the planting of as many acres
of land as possible with grain and
vegetables, and the distribution of
the erops in the most economical way.

THE GARDEN PLAN
@
Even since the average garden, pre-
pared and planted at random proves
a good investment, why not increase
its returns by following a definite
The possibilities from letting
crops closely follow ome another or
plan?
even overlap are legion.
There is for first consideration, the
kinds of vegetables. These will depen
largely upon the personal tastes of
the family and the space available.
The average-sized garden must be de-
voted to green vegetables rather than
to crops like potatoes.
The garden plan may be drawn to
show the exact shape and sire of the
plot and the points of the compass.
To locate the crops to the best ad-
vantage, a knowledge of the habitua-
ly thin, dry or wet spots of the soil
will. be helpful. :
Beds, or “patches,” are wasteful cf
space and labor. Rows running north
and south, the full length of the plot
are economical and convenient. If
a full row of one vegetable is not de-
sirable, several kinds may be planted
in the same row, but they should be
similar in cultural habits and length
of growing season. :
By seperating the vegetables se-
lected into long and: short season crops
‘companion cropping” may be prac-
ticed. This is simply the planting in
adjacent rows, or in the same row,
of early and late-maturing crops. With
this system at least blalf the ground
in a garden may be used twice in a
season, even though full-season crops
are grown. . For example:
Cabbage plants are set in rows thir-
i ty-six inches apart and twenty-four
| inches apart in the row. Midways be-
tween the cabbage rows and also be-
tween the cabbage’ plants in the row,
lettuce is planted. Early radishes are
drilled in halfway between the letice
and’cabbage rows.
This combination 18. Tervestid= as
follows : the raddishes in a month andi}.
‘the Jettuce in seven or eight weeks; |
and the entire space is then left to the
cabbage, just when it is needed.
“Succession cropping” is another
space-saving practice. This plan fol-
lows" short-season ‘crops by a second
planfing of the safhe vegetable or a
For instance, to-
@planting time comes shortly be-
e last peas are picked, so’ that
the ‘tomatoes may be planted in the
space which the peas occupied. In a
similar way, late cabbage may fol-
low spinach or mustard which was
planted earlier in the season, or tur-
nips may be sown broadcast in the
seed corn.
At the Hospital.
Prof. Weaver, Principle of the H.
S., was stricken with an acute case
of appendicitis on Sunday morning
and was taken to the Allegheny hos-
pital on. Sunday evening, where he at
once underwent an operation for the
removal of the offending member. He
is now on the high road to recovery
much to the gratification of his many
friends here.
The Prof. is a very efficient teacher,
and to know persons more than his
pupils is the news of his recovery re-
ceived with genuine pleasure.
