The mild weather of the last few
days is causing the thoughts of nearly
every one to turn towards the planting
of a spring garden; and this they
do just as soon as the land dries out
after the recent heavy rains. Owing
to the tremendous cost of all food
stulfs a good garden this year will
help solve the problem of high cost of
living.

Corn having reached the record
price of $1.40 per bushel, it is safe
to say that a good corn crop wiH be
put into the ground this year by the
Chesterfield County farmers. In
this connection we advise them to
plant a few velvet beans in their corn.
The experts claim that the velvet
bean is the best soil builder of all the
legumes. The beans bring a good
price and when crushed makes fine
feed for cattle and live stock. Many
of the oil mills are Arranging to

SHoflPxpoRT figures i
P iMjPs Crtitid by Demand From J
Abroad Now Capablo of Turning *
W Out Vast Quantities of
munition*.
The United States is equipped In
private Industry as never before for
the furnishing to tho army and navy
of almost everything that might be
needed In time of war. In certain finishing
processes, notably with reference
to airplanes, the resources of this
country are still far behlud those of
Great Britain nnd France, but the gap
is being lessened gradually.
The data regarding the exports of
the United States during the past year,
08 Issued by the department of commerce,
give a comprehensive lden of
the vast resources of the United
States.
The significant part of these figures,
aside from their overwhelming size, Is
that toe exports are obviously our output
In excess of our domestic consumption
requirements.
Thus It 1? more or less Interesting
to know that whereas In 1914 we sold
boots and shoes worth 518,000,000, In =
1918 we sent, mainly to Europe, $47,000,000
worth. It Is even more Interesting,
from the viewpoint of Industrial
preparedness, to know that In
1916 we sold abroad footwear for 23,- K
000,000 nalrs'of feet.
But we nre prepured for the turning v
out of rifles and hand grenades as well.
The federal government arsenals are
actually negligible when the resources
of the private munition plants are tak- f
en Into consideration.
Filling Huge Arms Contracts.
A merger was effected of the old *
Remington Arms company and the
United Metallic Cartridge company, I
the consolidation carrying through the a
completion the construction of the vast
plant at Bridgeport, which ulone is J
able to put out more small arms than
formerly all the American plants com- p
blued could make. It Is now working
on a $6,000,000 contract for Russia.
The Du Pont Powder company en- ^
larged Its plants In Wilmington, Del.,
and at Haskell, Wayne and Pompton
Lake, near Patterson, N. J. It took *
a little plant south of the Potomac, J
which had been employing 250 men,
and transformed it Into an Industrial p
dty with 30,000 on the pay roll. \
At New Britain, Conn., the American
Hardware company's plant, which p
hnd been turning out household und
khan nhitiullc ntwl flvturaa unHdonl v _
opened an Important side line of special
parts In military equipment. The
"side line" has become the dominant
part of the business.
The Westingliouse company employs '
8,000 In Its Springfield and Clileopee d
factories In the inunufucture of small L
arms alone. (
More Submarines Being Built.
The Lake Torpedo Boat company
has grown so swiftly under Its Euro- (
pean contracts that it is now building
seven submarines for the United States
navy. The Submarine Boat corporation,
successor to the old Electric Bout p
company, is an important addition to '
the shipyards.
There has been no development
more thrilling than that of the Bethle- t
hem Steel company, which now bus a ?
capacity far greater than that of the t
Krupps works at Essen, hitherto, the c
great ordnance factories of the world. t
The department of commerce has is- jsued
Its detailed figures only through
eleven months of 11)10. In comparison
with 11)14, they show an almost incredible
advance in our excess output.
of munitions. Here are some of the
more striking udvances: F
Firearms $ 4,063.000 ) 36.466.000
Explosives 7,867.000 600.633.000
Copper 110,115.000 208.P14.0O0 i

Ready to 8upply Own Needs.
The figures are suggostlve of what
has taken place In other Industries
which could not be so closely Identified
with the actual movement of the
troops. The fact that five times as
many railway cars have been shipped
abroad lutd, for example, no distant
relation; that cotton manufacturers
nearly trebled, thnt wool manufacturers
quadrupled, that leather far more
thau doubled, that steel manufactures
as a whole rose from $184,000,000 to
$777.000,000?all these show what the
war has done to put thlG country In
a position to supply its own needs
should they arise.

The Hike. 4
About 5 o'clock in the afternoon *
the Scouts fell in line, everybody with
his pack of provisions on his back
^ ready for the hike.
I After reading the rules regarding
me niKe the Scout Master led the
way down Mill street as far as the
creek, then turned and went up the
stream for about a half a mile, where
we stopped and cooked supper. After
we had gathered plenty of fuel
the Scout Master gave instructions in
' the art of building a fire. In a short
time the odor of ham, salmon, eggs,
etc., filled the air. As every one
knows, there are and always will be
many sad experiences for the boy who
tries to cook his first meal. This was
particularly true of one Scout, who,
having built up his fire with small oak
limbs and put his skillet of salmon on
top of this. When the limbs had
burned in two, his skillet tumbled
down and wasted about half of his
precious salmon. However, those
who got their meal successfully cook- i
ed shared with those who were not so '
f . rtunafe and as soon as we had eaten I
us much as we could, all fires were put
out and we began our journey home.
After we had disbanded everyone declared
he had had a fine time. <
