LETTER FROM
GASTON MOFFATT
(A. R. Presbyterian.)
Dear Mama: I had the pleasure
of talking to a Brigadier General
to-day. He drove up alongside the
train as I was locking the doors and
asked me where the hospital was^ I
told him, and then he asked me
where we came from and a number of
questions. He talked to me more
politely than a Junior Subaltern
would have done. This is the first
opportunity I have ever had of talking
tp a general officer, and I count
myself fortunate. I enjoy the Presbyterian
so much. There is a boy
here from Kansas, a Presbyterian,
who always asks me for the A. R.
P. when I get through with it.
I am learning something besides
French in this counrty. I I dress
wounds when they are not too bad,
and occasionally I dress some very
serious ones. I treat Carrell Dalten
cases and administer other treatment.
L have had another experience not
?--"oaoMo rtno T had a nice
very ttgiccawit VMV* * ? ?
load of "cooties". In fact the whole
outfit had them. But we have got
rid of them now. About bed time
all the fellows would sit down on
their benches, take off their underclothes
and Ipok along all the seams.
Presently one fellow would pipe up,
"I've got 'em." Then they would
all get together and compare relative
sizes and varieties. When I get
back I shall be fully prepared ' to
p>e Prof. Galloway a thorough discourse
on the habits, growth, and
domestic qualities of all the different
species. They are gone but not
forgotten. Requiescent in pace.
Well, at last I have time to drop
you a few lines. For the last two
weeks I have worked incessantly
under all kinds of dangers, but am
glad to say that I have come thru
unscathed. Sometimes I was lucky
enough to catch four or five hours
of sleep out of seventy-two. I have
been fortunate enough to attend
church at the Madeline and it was
grand. They have a very fine, deep,
pipe organ there and the finest choir
I have ever heard. The ceilings
and walls are all frescoed and are
adorned with splendid paintings,
with statues here and there all over
the church. I have also, seen the
Place de la Invalides where Napoleon's
tomb is and where all the war
trophies .from the FrenclP revolution
to the present date are kept.
The Tuiller's Gardens are also won*
? * t? j u,,,
aeriui. oroau suuucu ?omo
large statues all along." I did not
know there were so many statues in
all France as in those gardens alone.
I have also seen other beautiful and
historic places, such as the Palais
Royal, Petit Trainon, Versailles,
Pantheon, Trocadero, and Eiffel
Tower.
These are the good sights I have
seen. Now for the sad experiences
f have been passing through. In some
places where small villages used to
be, nothing is there now but a mass
of debris and ruins, nothing but
desolation and death. How some of
these French people have suffered.
Many of them have lost everything
in the world they owned, land, home,'
clothes, cattle., etc. But still when
they get a chance they will go right
back and start at the bottom -without
a murmur and build up again.
I remember seeing a train load . of
refugees. All their worldly goods
were carried in little sacks. And
some of the little children were so
scantily clothed that it would have
made Eve blush to look at them.
They were hungry, tired, and sick.
But they did not make a murmur.
Only the little babies that were not
too weak cried some. However, I
saw these before the Red Cross had
a chance at them. After they get
them it is different. They clothe
ind feed them and give medical attention.
The Red Cross is doing a
very 'vonderful and Christian work
over here.
I saw Douglass Robinson the other
day, also Miss Jennie White from
Chester. We unloaded a train of
wounded at a hospital where she is,
and as soon as she found I was there
she came down to see me and
brought some fruit for me. I was
sure glad to see them both.
Hoping that you al are in good
health, I am, with love, Gaston.

Retail Dealers Required by the Food
^Administration to Keep Accurate
Records Which Will Be Carefully
Checked Up by County Food Administrators.
Columbia, Aug. 3.?"It is sternly
necessary for the retailers to supervise
the sale of sugar and prevent
those who are greedy and unpatriotic
I from obtaining more than their share,"
I says the Food Administration in an
order requiring the retailer to' keep ft
record of all sugar sales made.' A
carbon copy of this record is to be
sent to the County Food Administrator,
and a check will be kept upon
those who seek to buy more than their
proportionate share of sugar.
It is essential that an equal distribution
of sugar is made as the sugar
Situation is very acute.
The profit on sugar will be closely
watched by the Food Administration.
The retail profit should not be more
than one cent a pound, except where
the fraction of a cent is involved.
| Sales of sugar should not exceed
j two pounds at one sale to a customer
who lives in town, and should not
ceed five pounds to a customer residing
in the rural districts. For canj
nlng purposes not more than 25 pounds
: may be sold to a householder on
j Home Canner's Sugar Certificates ex'
cept upon written permission of th?
! County Food Administrator.
! HOW TO SELECT SEED
j CORN IN THE FIFLD
| Columbia.?James W. praffin, of
Leslie, York County, has made a remarkable
record in Corn Club work.
He has been a member of the York
i County Boys' Corn Club for four years,
and has been a county prize winner
1 each year. Twice he has been a sec1
ond State prize winner. His article
on "How I Select My Seed Corn in
-rwrVtJ4a o^rOn holow mfllrAQ
( IUO r IClUf rruiuu. 10 t vu k/w.v
very interesting reading.
; "One of the essentials of profitable
corn growing is proper selection of
seed. Stalks of the predominating
type in the row or field should be
| chosen, if equally resistant and well(eared
as others. Get the form of
; the ideal stalk well fixed in your
j mind, and look for It. Remember
i the type from year to year and dont
I change unless you should change to
j a different strain or seed variety.
"I dont wait until all the corn is
in the crib to select my seed for next
year's planting. If you do, you will
fail in the crop. The standipg plant
will answer.the question as to whether
the selected ears have come from good
stalks. I always try to be sure to get
plants that grow not less than two or
not more than three good ears to the
-<-1u ~ ? flion Viq 1 f.wav nn
D taiA., ttUU UUt iUVAO WUWM UWM ?? ?V
the stalk. I select the well-filled ears,
not too large nor too small, bat medium
size, and sound. The shuck
should be loose on the grain and
should have a wholesome look. I always
try to select my seed corn from
the stalks standing where they grow,
as soon as ripe, and before the first
hard, freeze. I select ears from the
stalks that have produced the most
corn without having any special ad-^
vantages, such as space, moisture or
fertility. The most important consideration
is to select seed from those
plants which have-the ability to fur-,
nish the largest quantity of dry shelled
corn. Early maturity is a desirable
quality, and so are short, thick, windfirm
stalks; top-heavy one? with ears
borne too high are likely to mean
losses.
"I collect my plants that hear my
seed ears and cut off the top and
I bottom and hang the part on which
the -ears are iasieueu, m aumc wu enient
place In the crib or barn.
This will keep in mind how the plants
looked in the field.
"I go through my corn and cut the
diseased and stunted stalks about
July first or August first, so as to prevent
crossing with the good stalk*
that are to furnish npy seed. Now,
if I am going to plant on upland, I
do not use seed that has been long
grown on lowland, and if I am going
to plant on lowland, I use my field selected
seed that has given best results
on that kind of land as far as possible.
J I plant seed that grew on the same
J type of, soil that I am going to cultiI
yate. I always try to procure my1
i seed from corn that is known to produce
large yields. It has been pretty^
well demonstrated that the prolific;
* - '?? ??. ih. '
J corns are tne oest vaneueo mi ^
South. They^ do not make the largest
and best show ears, but they do make
' the largest yields, and the greatest
money value per acre. I prefer Goodman's
Prolific Variety.",
Columbia.?The State Council of Dej
fense has gone on record, by the adop|
tlon of resolutions at the bi-monthly
i meeting held here, as favoring a gov|
ernment financed cotton corporation;
| and recommendation has been made
| to President Wilson and Congress that'
I j.ctioii be taken, through the forma-!
'i tlon of iuch a governmental agency, i
I to fix a minimum price which the
' farmer may be guaranteed for his cot.
