HoY the War Affects Us.
UI.-In Education.
By Frederic ]. Haskin.

Some effects Of the European war
upon American educational conditions
seem contradictory to each othef' OUT
they are being felt keenly at the open
ing Of this school year. Most educa-
tional leaders agree that the genera
and more lasting effect will be to slim
ulate and encourage all intellectual
activities, SO that the United states
in the future will be recognized rs
foremost in educational ADVANTAGES
throughout the world. At present q
certain confusion exists. due to tne
unusual conditions which have arisen
SO suddenly. larger number OF STU
dents from other countries will be IN
America this year than ever before.
Their presence will mean additional
support both financial and otherwise
to American institutions. Yet the CLOS
ing OF ednca tional institutions IN
Europe must to a degree afrect az
verseiy similar institutions OF the
world until q certain period OF re-
adjustment has passed.

Federal Reserve System.

Bankers who participated in the re-
cent conference with the reserve board
In Washington report that gratifying
progress Is being made toward the or
ganization Of the federal reserve sys-
tenn. The federal reserve board has
had two plans submitted, both Of which
have met with their approval, These
suggestions are as follows:
/. A call for condition of banks shall
be sent out in the near future.
2. Member banks shall be requested
to pay their subscriptions to capital
and their proportion of reserve to the
federal reserve banks out OF the cash
on hand in their vaults.
Both of these steps are expected to
aid the situation materially. As Is well
known. Immediately after call has
been issued these banks almost in
variably let the cash out through loans.
condition is produced than would other
wise be likely. OF course. there would
be substantial relief to the business
community II the country banks would
follow this example during the coming
autumn.
The other proposition is intended to
take the strain of from reserve city
and central reserve city banks. which
have been expecting to bear the brunt
Of the burden Of paying the cash into
While the federal reserve board has
no authority to compel the banks to
make payments out OF vault cash
request to do so would meet with gen.
eral compliance on the part of thoss
institutions which might be called
upon. A dangerous cut In the cash
held in the centers has been feared,
but instead of this disaster there is
a prospect Of reverse, and instead OF
the cut in the center there will be
subtraction OF cash throughout the
country.
Among bankers there is feeling that
conditions are improving throughout
the country and that unless there Is an
unexpected shock to the fabric OF credit
and confidence there will be very
decided growth in strength at an early
date, with more active resumption OF
commercial loans for desirable pur-
poses and general Improvement.
1t Is now predicted that the reserve
banks will be opened at an early date,
although no time for this event is
definitely mentioned. The appointment
Of the government directors in the
several banks will, 1t is expected. be
made shortly. So that probably by the
beginning OF October the several
boards Of directors will have been
organised with their full mem
bership and will have been
placed in operation. In most OF the
reserve centers the directors are max
ing preparations to go ahead rapidly
with the routine of detailed work of
establishing the institutions in full
operation.

No Change Likely

both the professors and the student
body is known to be in the service OF
the German army. The certainty Of de-
pleted course Of study due to this cause
could not but lessen the registration OF
foreign students. even II no dimculties
existed regarding transportation and ad-
mission to the country. This state Of af-
fairs exists in all the European coun-
tries engaged in war. A conservative
estimate of the United States bureau OF
education places the number of Ameri-
can students last year pursuing scien-
tific and academic courses in Europe at
fully $4,000, ASIDE from those studying
music and art. Practically all OF these
will continue their work this year in
the colleges and universities Of their
own country. These alone will add ma
to the registration of students

In addition to these native American
students. our institutions will be called
upon to supply the educational needs
OF thousands Of foreign students. Last
year Germany had over thousand
Chinese indemnity students, while the
United States had about 400. AS pres

Incoming of Chinese students, most of
these students will be distributed
through American schools this year, in

South American Trade.
1t has long been recognized that IN
having no direct banking connections In
any Of the great republics Of South
America the business men Of the I'm ted
States have been under a tremendous
handicap in competing with Europe for
the trade with our southern neighbours.
Since all Of the financing of our South
American trade had to be accomplished
through the banks Of London and Ber-
lin. the foreign bankers were not only in
q position to reap considerable gain
as the product of American enterprise,
but were in possession of important
trade information which they impaired
to the merchants Of their respective coun-
vantage in competing with the merchants
OF the United States. This Information
consisted Of methods Of transportation and
delivery, packing and classifying. but
more particularly as to prices.
There ts no question but that the pres
ent time is most opportune for the extern
sion Of our trade in South America Now
that that country Is cut of completely
from the European countries which fur

opportunity Is presented to our business
community to go in and transform

flag. should be working smoothly, and we
shall begin to reap the benefits Of the
trade formerly enjoyed by Europe and
driven away by q disastrous European
war.

That the heavy layers are not con-

by laying competitions in Australia,
which have extended over a period OF
six years.
In three OF the six years. the white
ieghorns laid the most; in two other
years the silver wyandottcs won, and
In one year the black langshans stood
first.
These breeds represent the three

breeds, general purpose breeds and

HELPING THE PASTURES OUT
Supplemental Feed Of Some Kind
Must Be Furnished to Keep Up
MIX Flow In Summer.

In response to many inquiries, Pro-
fessor o. b. Nystrom, dairyman at the
Washington state college, has pre-
pared the following statement: Each
summer a large number OF pastures
dry up, or at least begin to fail. In
order to keep up the milk flow some
thing TO help the pastures along not
only shows in the milk pail but length
ems the life OF the pasture.
Crops that may be used for this pur-
pose are thousand-headed kale, peas
and oats. vetch and oats, peas and
barley, alfalfa, corn and the clovers.
Those may be used either as soiling
crops or as silage. Amy of the root
crops may also be used to advantage.
II they are large enough for this pur-
pose so early In the season.
The thoughtful dairyman prepares
for this shortage of pasture by sowing
these soiling crops each spring, at In
tervals of from three to four weeks.
and has them ready for the cows
when needed. But II these special
soiling crops are not sown, any green
food that will be relished by the ami
mails is valuable to keep their diges-
tion in good shape and stimulate the
milk flow
The summer silo is probably the
best solution OF this problem Of sum-
mer feed, for It enables the dairyman
TO harvest his crop at the proper time
and then feed II out when needed In
just as good q condition as when put
into the silo.
Concerning fodder ,orn for soiling.
Professor Henry says: "0n farms

We have raised ducks for number
Of years and find that they are easy
to raise when one Knows how, but it
is safe to say that not more than one
poultry raiser in every five thousand
thoroughly understands duck raising
Few beginners stay with the busi-
ness long enough to learn. They start
in by guess, SO to speak, and give up
In disgust, at the end of the first sea-
son.
Some people try to raise ducklings
on whole wheat, cracked corn, etc.
Others insist that ducks of all ages
must have a swimming pool. This is
all wrong.
Begin by providing good shelter for
the ducklings before they are hatched
The houses need not be very expen-
sive, but they must have good roofs
and floors. Colony houses are best
because It is not advisable to keep
large numbers together.
II ducklings Of different sizes are
kept IN the same yards, the smaller
ones are sure to suffer.
Never keep more than 35 young
ducks in the same house. II the houses
are very small 10 will be enough. But
when building the duck houses It Is
a good plan TO have them built large
enough to be used for sheltering tho
layers In the winter, If necessary.
Ordinary coops, such as those used
by the average farmer for hen and
chickens" have no place in the duck
raising business. Such coops eau
neither be kept dry or clean. Need
less to say they are not suitable for
any other poultry. In cool, damp
weather they are little short OF death
traps.
Have separate yard for each lot
of ducklings. II they are to have free
range after the first few weeks, the
yards need not be very large. The
ducklings cannot fly, therefore, 1t is moi
necessary to have high fences. Poul
