The average yield of potatoes per acre in Ontario in 1916 was 58 bushels The next lowest yield in the last thir- ty-five hir-ty five years was 76 bushels and the average annual yield fee the whole eriod was 114 bushels ;}ei acre.

According to present indications, the acreage of potatoes will be less than usual this year. With the possibility of 'a famine in food materials, great care should be exercised by both the fanners and the citygardners in growing the Drops of highest value, in using the best seed obtainable and in economizing labor. BABY'S OWN TABLETS OF GREAT VALUE Mrs J. A. Lagace, Ste. Perpetue, Que., . writes:—"Baby's Own Tablets have beeof great value to nee and I would strongly recommend them to other niothers." Thousands of other mothers say the same thing. They have become convinced through actual use of the Tablets thatnothing can equal them in regulating the bowels and stomach; driving out constipation and indigestion; .break- ing up colds and simple fevers; ex, Pelting worms and curing colic. The Tablets are sold by , medicine dealers or by mail at 25 cents a box from 'ihe' Dr. Williams' Medicine Co„ Brock- ville, Ontario.

In nerman years it is economy` to ,A. system of rationing at the source, cut good sized potatoes in sed s . vary- ing from one ounce to two ounces each. In the average of ten tests conducted at Guelph in five years the following average annual yields per, acfe were. obtained from good sizd potatoes cut into pieces of different weights as here indicated: two ounces, 150 bushels; one ounce, 130 bushels: one-half ounce, 109 bushels; one quarter oe,-98 bushels,' one-eighth ounce, 79 bushels and one - sixteenth r ounce, 87 bushels. Small potatoes are frequently produced from scrubs or from diseased tubers, The potatoes produced in- Ontario in 1916 however, were exceptionally free from rot and were unusually small owing to the growth -being arrested by un- favorable weather conditions. Pota- toes did not thoroughly mature autumn and immature potatoes arein- ferior for table use but make excellent seed. At this particular time, there- fore, potaoes .the size of hens' eggs cr even smaller, might be used for seed to good advantage. These could< be cut into pieces even as small as one- quarter ounce each and could be plant- ed in rows twenty-eight inches apart with the pieces twelve to fifteen inches apart in the rows. They should be planted the same day that they are cut. Where good seed is unobtainable whole potatoes not more than one- quarter to one-half ounce in size might l !anted with the prospect of re - however, has been devised and has inet -with .considerable success• was first applied to sugar, of which there is a serious world shortage. The goverment took control of the im- port of.sugar and became • the only. wholesale . dealer in. the country. Grocers were rationed -on the basis of their former trade in sugar and were thus forced to ratio their customers. There was some grbling and some bungling at first, but on the whole the scheme worked well Everybody got the sugar he absolutely needed, al- though not all the sugar he wanted, and no one was forced to go with- out. A similar scheme has now been undertaken with regard to bread. The government has just announced that it has taken over all the flour mills in the country and, as it already con - 1 ols the wheat and other grain im- ports, it will be able to regulate in the same rough and ready way the supply of bread. The bakers will be rationed. with regard to flour and: will have to ration their customers. The government, too, 'will be .able from time to. time to increase the propor- tion of other grains than, wheat used in thaniational flour and to keep abso- lute control of all the milling. pro- cesses with a view to the greatest possible economy, One of the interesting features of the wheat shortage in England is the Phone You Orders tearts Sell It Fore Your de. elty ash Fabrics for Smart Summer Wea: A Gila Display of � Cotton� SiIk and Cottoii Weaveshi the striped, checked and figured effects which Fashion has prescribed for use for Gens,Suits and Skirt � coaranar La erode hprovided- for Wash Materials that LI �T�'LTLLY �.T�'l�a>��i`��E ire a Neter i �� ha hues and n elaborate d p ' n� ail � klrt�. . �your ....

At first ; the war bread, made from flour con- taining a slightly . higher percentage of the wheat berry, extremely palatable and the effect was shown in temporarily increasedconsumption. With the gradual addition ofbarley, maize ,rye and other grains it has become darker in color and less pal- atable and the consumption has fallen off. Another cause of de- creased consumption is the regula- tion forbidding the sale of bread be -1 ` fore it is 24 hours old. So far there is no shortage of meat. The consumption of this staple has fallen off considerably and there is a large -supply in the country as well as plenty of live stock. In fact, the government at the moment is appeal - mg to the well-to-do to eat more meat 1 and leave the bread to the poor.
