THE PAPER PROBLEM.
THE PAPER PROBLEM. How Readers- Can Prevent Waste & Disappointment. For the purpose of economis- ing shipping facilities, the Gov- ernment has ordered reductions in the amount of paper im- ported into the British Isles. The restrictions have been met by" the newspaper publishers to such an extent that half-a- million tons of shipping was available last year for other purposes. This is a matter in which readers of the Cambria Daily Leader can assist materially. The Government has been obliged to order a further re- II striction, so that it is not possible to allow agents any- thing but the.smaliest margin of papers on sale or return. This has led to disappoint- ment already, as a number of people have been unable .to obtain copies en account of the agents having" sold out" their supplies. Several or these people seem disposed to blame the news- agent, evidently expecting him to keep an unlimited supply at immediate notice to meet any emergency demand. Such a method must neces- sarily lead not only to disap- pointment, but is also the cause of a very serious waste of paper. To evade the former and pre- vent the latter, it is the wise and patriotic duty of all "Cambria Daily Leader" readers to place without delay a definite order with their news- agent to reserve or deliver a copy of the" Leader" every evening.

.THE LAST PHASE..
THE LAST PHASE.. The prologues have been spoken, and the curtain is about to ascend on the world-tragedy of 1917. The protagonists have said their say. De- fiance has been hurled from trench to trench. Emperor and generals have expressed their certainties. 'The Kaiser has tried to hearten his people'before the final clash. Hin- denburg has talked of speedy vic- tory. And Haig, controlled by the spirit that possessed another British war-leader-in the old days, has given us another speech before Agincourt. The spirit oi Haig is the spirit-oi Britain. He stands viewing the embattled line between Y pres and Pcronne, and he tells us to be of good cheer. What actuated the Commander in-Chief in granting the much-dis-' cussed interview with the French journalists wo cannot say. He broke a" long-held tradition, but, unhke the captious critics whose House of Commons queries -sug gest their concern for military etiquette, the people of this coun- try are not inclined to question his wisdom. Whatever the purpose m view may be, we may be sure that Haig had good reasons for giving the interviews and for speaking as he did. The moral effect of his words has-been great at home; they have electrified France, and they have impressed the neutral nations of the continent. There had been too much whispering by professional and amateur experts, too much sad head-shaking, about the position in France. The situation demanded tho blunt speech of the soldier. It was necessary that^ the serene confi dence felt by all our army in the West, their unshakable faith in the future, should be known in these islands where the doubter has been busy, and the nerve-broken arc fearful. When will the great offensive start? Who will start it? Where will it be attempted? All the ex- perts are at work spinning out theories; but in these matters the ordinary man is as wise as they. Military staffs have a way of keep mg their own counsel; and indeed they seek, until the unavoidable moment when- disclosures cannot be helped, to deceive the other side as to their intentions and move ments. Notwithstanding the new conditions of warfare developed by flying machines and observation balloon's, surprise remains the. greatest of the weapons available to a general. Our leaders to-day can know what is going on the other -side of the hill," but. the field oi struggle is so gigantic that astute- ness can often upset the most ern" ilul and complete calculations. The war has not deteriorated into a blind trial of sirength against strength. We proved thât at the Marne. Mr. Selloc gives smother striking in- stance. In the winter of 1915 liht enemy desired to relieve East JPrussia of its Russian invaders. The Germans, therefore, attacked with peculiar violence in front of War- saw.—deliberately, sacrificing great numbers of men—and withdrew at- tention from their main objective to the north.. That objective was the Niemen; and the Russians sud- denly found in front of them a very considerable, concentration in East Prussia, when their interest had been concentrated far to the south, in front of Warsaw. Not long ago rumour, which is used by a cunning commander for the purpose of concealing his real purposes,, stated that the Germans were concentrating for a violation of Swiss territory. Then we heard that troops were being moved upon the Dutch borders. To-day enemy press and enemy leaders are spread- ing all manner of reports, mutually contradictory. There is to be a gigantic offensive by land, air and sea. The Kaiser speaks of the impending decisive battle in a message to his Navy. Yet again we are told that the enemy will stand on tho defensive. The latter viewvit is difficult to accept. The whole history of German militarism shows its profound belief in offen- sive tactics, and, as far as the under- standing of the untrained and the information-less man will allow him to penetrate the problem, the prob- ability is that Genbanv \vill risk all in one last effort to retrieve her for- tunes. She cannot last bevon-I 1917. Her new formations tsannot j be sustained. It is all or nothing, victory or disaster. Col. Eepington is ot opinion that Marshal von Hindenburg has been able to form the strategic reserve he requires for this year's campaign, and he believes that the Germans are now massing in the West, with the number of divisions increased to about 166. A further assumption made by the Times military cor- respondent is that .all these divisions cannot long be maintained by drafts, that the German effort will be shortlived and will be the enemy's maximum endeavour, and that we must therefore expect strategy and tactics of a desperate character. He does not rulq out the possibility of an attack upon these- islands, and in any case h*. suggests that von Hindenburg, who now controls sea as well as land operations, may throw the High Sea Fleet into the scale at the supreme moment: It is a. perfectly tenable theory. It follows naturally after the desperate effort made to isolate these islands, and deliberately to embroil the United States in the war—for the succession of affronts offered by Germany seems to have no other possible interpretation. Germany sees that the spring and summer of 1917 will find her in such a state that the alternatives will be sur- render, or a final mad leap at her antagonists. Her leaders must know that the submarines will not decide the issue; that we cannot be starved out, or our spirit broken. Her eco- nomic state is, without any doubt, grave. The Americans who came away with Mr. Gerard have given a sufficiently serious picturo of, the privations that are now being en- i dured. An indecisive 1017 is equiva- lent to a defeat for Germany. And she will fight, with all the weapons! at her command, to avert tho fate, that is closing in upon her. That she has no real hope the plain words of Sir Douglas* Haig show.
CHEESE RECIPES. -I
CHEESE RECIPES. — Pleasing Variations in War- I Time Diets. Dishes made with cheese offer a pleasing j variation, and the following recipies are Ifmollg the best available:— Cheese "Pudding.—3 oz. breadcruri\bs, 1, pint of milk, I egg, 3 oz. grated cheese, seasoning. Put the breadcrumbs into a basin. Beat the c-g,- and add the milk to it. Stir this into the breadcrumbs, and the grated cheese, and season well. Pour into a greased pie-dish, and dot a few tiny j pieces of margarine over the top. Bake in a brisk oven until set and nicely browned. Serve very hot. If you find the eg<; more than you can manage to afford, you might certainly use egg-powder instead; only in that ca^se you must bake your pudding directly it is made; Macaroni Cheese.—4 oz. macaroni, pint milk, 1 oz. margarine, 1 teaspoonful of made mustard, 3 oz. grated cheese, i pint of water, 1 oz. of flour, seasoning. Boil up the milk and water, break the macaroni into conveniently-sized pieces, and simmer it until tender. If you find that the liquid reduces very much, you can add a little water. When the macaroni is cooked, pour it and the milk and water into a basin. Now melt your margarine in the saucepan, add the flour, stirring until quite smooth, and by degrees, rhe. liquid from the macaroni. Stir until boiling, then add the macaroni, cheese, seasoning, and -mustard. Pour into a well-greased pie-dish, sprinkle a little grated cheese over the top, and hrn in a hot oven. Cheese Fritters.—Any dry pieces of cheese, 4-OK. margarine (melted\ salt and pepper, a teaspoonful of finely-chopped parsley, 2 oz. of flour, 2 tablespoonfuls of tepid water, white of one eg? (beaten stiffly). Put the flour into a small basin, and mix in smoothly the margarine and tepid water; lastly, stir in the white of oog, seasoning, and parley. Dip the pieces of cheese singly into this batter, and fry in hot fat. Serve in a neat, heap, and "garnish with sprigs of parsley. Ric? and Cheesa Cutlets.—4 oz. of rice, I vmill oiifo-Li. I pint of milk and water, 3 oz. grated. cheese, seasoning, t oz. of margarine. Chop the onion, and frv it to a golden brown (not dark). Now add the milk and water, and, when this is boiling, sprinkle in the rice. Allow the whole to boil again, stirring often until the rice i., cooked, and has tnken up nearly all the liquid. Then add the cheese and season well. • Turn on to a plate to cool, smooth- ing thp top and sides. Then divide it into twelve outlets, cutting across and across. TT£c> a little flour, if necessary, in the shap- ing. Brush each cutlet over with a paste of flour and milk. mid din it into bread- crumbs, pressing them on well. Fry in hot fat until a golden brown. Press a tiny niece of spaghetti into the top of each to represent a cutlet bone and, serve in a circle with a nice bu-mch oXl paa^loj i4 the centre.

j ALLOTMENT NOTES
j ALLOTMENT NOTES I The Culture of the Potato I I By CULTIVATOR. The most suitable soil for the potato is I well drained, light, friable loam which contains a due admixture of lime, and when it is- realised that the potato is a semi-tropical vegetable, the importance of boipg freely exposed to the bcneiicient in- fluence of the sun should not be over- looked. The worst type of soil is a wet, heavy eoil, overlying day. The soil* should be deeply dug in the autumn if possible and left in a rough condition, so that the action of the frost, etc., may pulverise and otherwise improve it. i With regard to manure, the best and safest for allotment holders to use is un- doubtedly well-decayed farmyard manure, which is a complete manure; that is, it supplies all the necessary chemical constituents required by the crop. It should be applied at the rate of two tons to a ten pole plot. Farmyard manure is very often 'spread in the furrows and the sefs placed upon it, but this L: not a practice to he commended, as the sets should not be plac-cd in direct contact with the manure. Where practicablo the manure should be dug in all over the plot in the autumn, but where a late start is made in the cultivation of the plots, as on the majority around Swansea, the manure should be placed in the furrows and a little fine soil placed on it before planting the potatoes. As to artificial manures which may be used in conjunction with farmyard manure, it must be borne in mind that potash is the chemical constituent chiefly required by the potato, but we have been in the past almost wholly dependent on the imports from Germany for this pro- duct; consequently these supplies now be- ing cut off, potash is practically unob- tainable, or is so expensive as to make it6 use prohibitive. The artificials now recommended arc sulphate of ammonia—a bye-product of the manufacture of gas—superphosphate of lime, and bone meal. These manures do not interact on each other chemically, and may be mixed together before using. This should he done very thoroughly in small quantities at a time, and should not then be kept too long before being used, The following quantities will be sufficient for a ten-pole plot :— It lbs. sulphate of ammonia. 56 Ibs. superphosphate of lime. 14 lbs. bone meal. This mixture should be sown in the drills at planting time, or half of it may be a. plied at the time of planting, and the other half used as a top dressing between ¡ the rows and hoed in previous to earthing up. Soot is also a good manure for pota, toes, and should be used at the rate ofv three bushels per plot. Wood ashes (not II (coal ashes, which are useless as manure) are also valuable as supplying potash and when the rubbish is burned on the plots the ash should always be spread over the ground again, thus returning to the soil what has been extracted from it by the plants. The proper time for planting potatoes Is important, but no definite date can bo laid, as so much depends on the nature of the soil, the weather, and the aspect of the site. In this district planting of early varieties can commence in sheltered places early in March, but if your plot is in the middle of a live acre field it will he better to defer planting until the end of March or early April. The ground should be forked over and thoroughly pulverised as you proceed. A trench should be made every two feet for the early I varieties, and, if the ground was not j i mannred in th autumn, a layer should be placed along tho furrow JIld covered with a layer of fine soil and the sets planted on it at a depth of four to five inches and at a distance of ten to twelve inches apart in the rows. It is a good plan to grow a row of peas between every four rows, a? shown on the plan of the 1 allotment I gave a couple of weeks ago. If the stakes are put in early they will afford shelter to the young shoots when the late frosts of May do so much damage, and also afford protection from cold winds. With regard to the second earlies and main crops, these must be planted in the same way, but should be afforded more room between the rows and sets. A minimum distance of two feet six inches should be allowed bc- I tween the rows, and 12 to 15 inches bc- tween the sets. The old practice of making holes with a blunt dibber to the l required depth at regular intervals, then ?droppidg the tubers in and covering with soil, is not one which I can recommend. The importance of allowing ample space between the rows and sots cannot be too greatly emphasised, as this allows a free circulation of air all round the plant, and gives the sun an opportunity of warmig the soil, so essential to the potato. Even the direction of the rows has a direct influence on the weight of crop which should run north and south* wher- ever possible. To illustrate these points let me give the result of a competition in potato growing held at Boston last year The competition was for the best crop from 14 plant.s of the Chapman potato grown in a row 21 feet long by 30 inches wide. The competitors were not. told the name of the variety until mid- summer. The winner's crop when lifted, after discarding diseased tubers, weighed n lbs. This works out at the rate of 33 tons per acre, or more than four times; the average crop. At the same rate the1 produce from a ten pole plot would bo just over two tonsl I The winner writes: "The piece of land selected had already had potatoes on it during the preceding three or four years; it is of very good quality, medium loam, with a quantity of road sweepings added in 1914. When fairly dry the soil is very light and friable. But for the road sweep- ings the plot had no manure, with the exception of basic slag two years pre- viously. With regard to the subsequent culture of the potato, attention must be paid to hoeing and forking between the rows as "soon as the shoots can bo seen. This will bring the soil into a fine condition pre- paratory to earthing up. It will have the eifect of destroying the weeds, which are sure to make their appearance, and alfo have a stimulating effect upon the crop. Earthing up i+; practised to prevent the gree-,iin! of thoso potatoes which, have a tendency to throw their tubers above the s-oil and so render them unfit for food. As a general rule it should be done gradually in the case of early varieties, especially when there is a likelihood of injury from frost, drawing a little soil up the shoots directly they can be seen. The final earth- ing up should ;1:;8 done when the growths are three to four inches long. The amouut of soil to be drawn up will depend on the rtieta-nco between the rows, and should bp drawn, not to form a sharp triangular ridge, but of a more rounded form, with the top as broad as it can be formed. After this, very little attention will bo required, j except to keep the c-on clear of weeds, ? which must be rigorously kept down, and j j also to keep a watchful eye fQr d?$oasas a?d I pother p?a and -eroú j
