DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE Hunting Wild Fowl in Planes Forbidden The director of military aero- nautics has forbidden the shooting of wild fowl with machine guns from airplanes and has directed that air- plane flights along the Atlantic coast or at any place where migratory wild fowl may be found shall be con- ducted in such a manner as to inter- fere as little as possible with the habits and feeling of the wild fowl. Commanding officers are instructed to use every means to carry out the regulations and to bring to trial any offenders that may be guilty of breaking any of them. Complaints of the shooting of wild fowl with ma- chine guns from airplanes were re- ceived some time ago by the Depart- ment of Agriculture from several places along the Atlantic coast. The attention of the War Department was called to the fact that such shooting was in violation of the Federal mi- gratory bird law enacted last year to give effort to the treaty between the United States and Great Britain. Gardens Will Be Profitable This Year The home gardens is likely to prove a profitable investment of ef- fort this year as it has for the past several seasons, in the opinion of the United States Department of Agri- culture. The experience of the past few years has proved that persons who have sufficient land and spare time and who do their home garden- ing work intelligently and efficiently find it profitable. The relatively high prices of practically all foodstuffs tend to increase the saving effected, but the home garden should be planned with a view to meeting the family needs rather than of produc- ing crops for sale on the market. Growing Avocados in United States Twenty-three varieties of avocados have been introduced into the United States from Guatemala and are now being grown by the United States Department of Agriculture in Cali- fornia and Florida. Some of these give promise of successful cultivation in this country. To assist prospective avocado growers in the United States in growing this delicious fruit, some- tmes erroneously called “alligator pear,” the United States Department of Agriculture has recently published public every dooryard has a few avo- cado trees which furnish shade and fruit, and it has a more important place in the diet of the natives than the banana.

Hunts and drives are held each win- ter, and although thousands of the rabbits are killed, new hordes soon appear. A Hutchinson (Kans.) con- cern is dressing and shipping large numbers of’ jack rabbits to eastern cities where there is a good demand for them. The county pays a bounty of 3 cents a scalp in order to pro- mote the extermination of the pests. More Dairy Cows Go To Florida If dairy cows publish a newspaper a large part of the society column would be taken up at this time with notices of members of noted dairy families leaving their homes in the North to spend the winter in the winter, and it is probable that they | will like their new homes so well that they will not return.

Much of this may be due to abnormal war demands, but the United States De- partment of Agriculture believes that | there is both an opportunity and a tendency to expand in this direction over prewar requirements. A nor- mal increase in dairying in this country, the department thinks, is fully justified, provided there is the necessary increase in feed crops. Sugar Ample But Abnormally Distributed The prospective production of sugar for the season of 1918-19 is about 188,000 short tons less than the annual average for the five years just before the war which, as com- pared with a total of 18,750,000 short tons, is not of great significance, and the current crop is regarded by the United States Department of Agricul- ture as practically sufficient to meet a normal world consumption even if present stocks did not exist. Atten- tion is called to the fact, however, that the world sugar supply is not normally distributed. There is a shortage in the beet-sugar production in Europe of 50 per cent of the prewar average, amounting to about 4,150,000 tons, while in the same time the cane sugar output has in- creased by 3,842,000 tons, and the beet sugar crop of the United States is 131,000 tons above the prewar average, though the smallest since 1914. No considerable increase in beet sugar production is expected within the next 12 months, though it is expected ultimately to exceed that of prewar times. “Kaiser” Pea Changes Its Name armers who want to buy quantities of the variety of field pea introduced several years ago by the United States Department of Agriculture from German, and then known as the “Kaiser” pea, will save trouble by not using that name any more. These peas are now known as ‘“McAdoos,” and they are as widely distributed through the Northwest ‘as Liberty bonds, which caused the substitution in nomenclature. Many Farmers Apply for Seed Loans ’ A large number of Montana and North Dakota farmers have made application for seed grain loans from the fund provided by the President to aid farmers in drouth-stricken areas. The Great Falls, Mont., office of the Seed Grain Loan of the United States Department of Agriculture re- ports up to January 18, applications from 1,585 Montana farmers in amounts totaling $590,720 and from tana applicants represent an acreage of 118,144 an dthe North Dakota ap- plieants an acreage of 14,974.

When the kidneys are weak, Help them with Doan’s Kidne! Pills. A remedy especially for weak kid neys. Doan’s have been used in kidney roubles for 50 years. Endorsed by 60,000 people—en- lorsed at home. Proof of merit in a Mount Joy iitizen’s statement. Mrs. Jacob Childs, Mt. Joy street, says: “I had been suffering for a lon, time with terrible pains in my bac just over my hips. Headaches and dizziness were frequent too. My kidneys showed signs of weakness and bothered me on that account. I'! would feel all tired out. I was told of Doan’s Kidney Pills and got some, ; From the first Doan’s helped me and ! finally I was completely cured of the | trouble. I now feel like a different woman.” ! , Mrs. Childs is only one of many Mount Joy people who have grate- fully endorsed Doan’s Kidney Pills. If your back aches, if your kidneys | bother you, don’t simply ask for a | kidney remedy, ask distinctly for DOAN’S KIDNEY PILLS, the same that Mrs. Childs had, the remedy Wednesday, February 12, 1919.
