SUGAR USE EXPLAIN Some Misuadentandinx* Cleared Up e by County Food Administrator. . Inquiries, to County Food Ad ministrator Lynn B. Williamson, indicate that a number of good " housewives do not thoroughly understand the regulations gov • erning the nee of snjar for can ning and preserving purposes, and some have thought they would be compelled to abaudon further ' canning and preserving. They have been under the impression ' that only 25 pounds for each household was available for HUB • purpose. ' "It is the very earnest desire of | the Food Administrator that the largest possible quantity of fruit ' be saved through canning, pre serving, drying or evaporation," ' today declared Mr. Lynn Wil liamson to a Qleaner reporter. ' "Naturally in the face of a sugar ■ shortage there is a remarkable In ' creftße in the drying and evaporat ing of fruits. Also the Food Ad ministration is urging as its motto, ' 'Maximum canning with %ini j mum sugar,' and Mrs. Jane 8. McKiminon, head of home demon- Btration work in North Carolina, recommends the use of only one pound for 16 quarts of fruit. If additional sugar is necessary it can bo added wjjen the fruit is eaten. At that time the sugar I situation will no doubt be much , easier. , "No household is allowed to have more than 25 pounds of , sugar during the season for can . niug and preserving except with the approval of their County Food Administrator. However, all county food administrators have been instructed by Fojd Admin istrator Henry A. Page to be very liberal in the exorcise of the dis cretion that is given them in this matter and tliero is 110 reason why anyone with fruit or berries avail able should not save them nil by canuing, preserving and drying. The purchase of L's pounds or a smaller quantity for this purpose can bo repeated as often as there is real and legitimate need for their purpose. "Individuals cauuing for the market should immediately make statements to the Hugar Division of the Food Administration at Raleigh for certificates upon which to buy sngar for canuing and pre serving. They will be allowed the full quantity necessary. State ments upon which these certifi cates may be secured can be se en rod at my office. They must be died with the Sugar Division at Raleigh by July 15 or they will not be effective." i Break your Cold or LaGrippe with few doses of 666.

ROCKWELL, Author of "Around the Year in the Garden," "Home Vegetable Gardening," Gardener's Pocket Guide," Etc., Etc. FOOD WILL WIN THE WAR-PRODUCE IT! Article Wo. 17—Carrying the (iartel Through Dry Weather Watering, v Mulching and Modern Irrigation for Small Gardens. * (Copyrighted by W, Atlee Burpee Co., Seed (I rowers, Phlla.). In nine years out of ten the nmoUut of vegetables which might be grown in the average siuall garden is cut down more by dry weather than by all the insects and plant diseases likely to attack them, put together. The only reason why this fact ia not more generally recognized is, that tho injury done to a single plant either by insects or disease is at once discernible, while the injury dono by dr.* weather in slowiug up and finally taking the growth of plant is widespread and insidious, and it is very difficult to realize how much the garden is being injured unless it can be compared with some other plot where similar vegetables are be- grown and have had an abund ance of water. One of the most serious of the gardener's mid-summer problems, therefore, is how to combat the influences of dry weather. Two Things To 110. There are in brief only two things which can be done to effect the ill attacks of the inevitable "dry spell." The first is to hold all the moisture possible in the soil, and the second is to ndd water artificially when it is no, longer supplied from the sky. Iu the case of severe dry weather it is only by using tbe latter method that, the garden can be kept in the best of condition. No matter how carefully every drop of water in the soil may be conserved there will not be enough in the soil to keep the garden going at "full speed ahead" for more than ten or fifteen days with'out rain, or in place of rain a watering so exten sive and BO thorough that it will take the place of it. The first step for carrying tho garden through dry weather, how ever, is of course to save what moisturu ther-j may be already in the soil. We may do the mulch ing with the soil itself by creating a "dirt mulch," or by putting some other material on the sur face of the soil so that it will be protected from the sun and kept cool and moist. The making of "dirt mulch" is a simple matter —it is merely to stir the soil frequently enough so' that there will never be an op portunity for it to form a hard crust, By the time that it gets really dry the weeds in the well cared tor garden should be pretty much under control. The inex perienced gartlener is likely to take this as a cue for letting up on his cultivating. He must learn to realize that to bring his garden through to success it is just as necessary for him to cultivate bare soil during the latter part of the season as to cultivate weedy soil early iu the season, but he need not work quite as hard doing it. With a wheel-hoe or a slide or scuflln-hoe made for the purpose lie'can cultivate the soil between the rows in his garden almost as last as he can walk. It does not therefore involve a great deal of work to get over the gar den overy week or ten days. Cultivating to create a "dust much" should of course be done in such a manner that the soil is left level and as finely pulverised as possible. The cultivation should not be deep, because by this time the plant roots are pretty well developed anil deep cultivat ing will break them off and injure instead of helping the amount of moisture supplied to the plant. If tho soil is stirred from an inch and a half to two .inches and a half deep—the latter for the larger growing vegetables such as pota toes, corn, etc., —that will be suf ficient. Mulching With Manure,i IJWII « lip— ping*, Kte. While a soil mulch such as de scribed above is effective, the use of old manure, clippings from tho lawn, decayed leaves, compost, any light material which will admit the air and rain readily without packing down hard—is even more effective. These ma terials may lie used iu the flower IMMIS and borders or around small fruits ami in other places where it is not easy to cultivate the soil regularly. A mulching of this kind is also particularly valuable for cauliflower, egg-plant, celery, lettuce and other plants which require a great abundance of moisture. This is a very good way of making use of such manure or compost as may be accumulated after the garden is prepared for planting in the spring, because it not only mulches the soil and keeps it moist, hut the plant food contained in it will !>e washed doWn into the soil within reach of the roots. Irrigation For Ihe Mnsll Garden. While watering with a hose or sprinkling can is belter than no watering at all it cannot be de pended upon to save a garden of' any size at all in really dry weather. few years ago the problem of wateriug the small home garden was a problem for whtteh there was no general solu tion. With tho development of overhead or spray Irrigation how ever, any gardener who cares to save his products to have abso lute insurance against drought! may do so by investing a few dol-' lars in a portable irrigation sys tem which costs nothing to ope rate, will last for years and can be put into u.*e by merely attaching a hose to the coupling provided for that purpose. The most gen eral form of portable irrigation outfit consists of a line of pipes of convenient length, supported on carries in which nozzles of a spe cial design which will throw the water in a fine rain-like spray are inserted enough together so that when the water is turned n a strip thirty to forty feet wit e M[ill be watered completely and better than it can possibly be done with the hose, and more import ant still while it ia "raining" heie you can be going about your work elsewhere in your garden. Where , it is desirable 10 do so a lhie of . pipe 2an be put in permanently | . instead of having a portable sys tem. A garden or yard up to a , hundred feet wide can be taken care of by two lines of pipe. These | are supported on upright* usually about six feet high so us to be out of the way of all planting, culti vating, eta. 1 How and When to Water. ' Water may be applied just to thesoilover the foliage. In the former case the quickest and bust way is to open up a shallow fur row along the edge of the row and to turn one end of the hose into it, letting the water run until the ground is thoroughly saturated, and then throwing the earth back. This saves labor and gets the water dowu to the roots. Hut cover up afterwards with pulver ized soil, for if tin? water is allow ed to run on the surface tho ground will cake, both wasting water and getting the soil into bad condition. When the water is ap plied over the plants and the foliage it shonld be broken into as fine a spray as possjble. A simple ! twisted-wire support, which may i be purchased for 'a quarter, will hold the nozzle in any position, and this will savu much time in watering. If the pressure is suf ficient the ordinary types of lawn sprinklers may be used, but they must bo watched carefully aufl shifted frequently. In watering flower beds, which are generally rounded up toward the center, be careful that most of the water does not run down to the outer edge. Shallow furrows between the rows of plants will hold the water until it can sink into the soil. If your lawn is too big to cover at each watering es tablish a system si that the various parts will'be thoroughly watered In turn. Here again a thorough soaking ouce a week is better than a daily sprinkling. Tho to water Is late afternoon. Kither wind or sun shine will waste a good deal of water through rapid evaporation. Whenever jxissibio, cultivate tho ground soon after watering to re establish the soil inulch. Indi vidual plants that you are trying to nurse along, or flowers to be grown for exhibition, may bo given special attention by sinking a large flower pot near each, with the hole at the bottom loosely corked. Filling this pot every day or two will keep the plant supplied. Itcb relieved Id 1* minute* by Woodford'* Sanitary Lotion. Nevai fall*. Bold br Qranam Drug Co. Littleton College.
