BIDDING FOR WAR CONTRACTS

The scramble for war business is a
lively one, and is a demonstration OF
the enterprise and adaptability OF
American business men. Many OF the
fortunes of the goth century will be
based on the profits accumulated on
contracts Of this type.
On the face Of il. this business looks
like a good deal OF a snap" as the
phrase goes. But seen from the in
side Of the counting room. the enter
prise frequently appears, one big
gamble. that may make or break the
man who undertakes IL.

ARE YOUR COWS EFF
GENT?

Putting the efficiency test to cows
with the milk scales and the Babcock
tester is one of the essentials Of con-
ducting successful dairy. When feed
is high in price farmer cannot az
ford to have boarders in his dairy
barn who eat up more in feed than
their milk yield is worth. The Bah
cock test will show these delinquent
COWS in their true light and the milk
scales will put the clincher on the
argument. Testing COWS will give
some farmers a big surprise. Some
times the cow that looks like the
poorest creature in the lot is the best
butterfat producer. The dairy divis-
ion Of Clemson College offers to give
any farmer advice about testing milk
and keeping records. Test, don't
guess.

LETTERS TO CLEMSON.

ever possible. This will avoid delays
which are sometimes costly. This il
especially true Of such matters as in
sect pests, plant diseases and animal
diseases, which can spread so rapidly.
In outbreaks Of hog cholera, farmers
should either communicate immediate
ly with the county demonstration
agent or with the veterinary division
OF Clemson College. Merely address
ing the college will get letter to its
goal eventually, but sometimes delays
which are dangerous come about. It
Is a good plan for a farmer 70 keep

three games won by Manager Bay
club may be taken from him.
There has been a feeling here that
other clubs have violated the rule, and
a careful investigation is being made
of their team personnel
Cedar Rapids has recently signed
men who may come under the rule and
if this is found to be the case 1t Will
be necessary for the Bunnies to make
a further reduction. While Waterloo
may not be over the veteran limit at
the present time. it has been declared
that the Lulus are negotiating for the
purchase of three or four Western
League players, which would bring
their veteran members above the limit.
There has been a strong protest from
Egan. Bay. Andrews and other man.
ayers against the rule. and 1t is to be
expected that in case they are forced
to observe the rule strictly. they will
see to it that other managers do not
get by with "old timers.
The most regrettable feature of the
protesting of games is that it will ne
cessitate many double headers later in
the sea son and will prove severe test
to the leagues pitching staffs.
