could dispose OF 100000 cars Ii he
had them, and that he had contracts
to supply 1900 alnbulances' to the
British government.
Mr.: Perry was reported to have
said that the company had furnished
1850 automobiles Of various kinds
to the British government and had
5000 untitled orders and also that
the British government was having
Its soldiers trained In the Ford
works. The trustees OF the Amsfi-
can Defense Society ask Ford IL thesa
reports are true. The letter goes
on to say:
The gravest danger now facing
this country has arisen directly from
the expectation Of arms and muni-
lions Of war. This trafic, Of which.
you, Mr.. Ford, appear to be one az.
the chief benetciaries, has endanr-

iEvaporated Canned Milk Fast
Taking the Place of the

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept is. DO the
signs Of the times portend, that the
Iday Of the milkman Is passing. that
the grocer is soon to replace the milk
man and the milk can replace tho
milk bottle?
In 1903 here was production Of
2S0.2T6,s,,4 pounds Of linsweetened.
levaporated milk sold, AN increase OF
l'i3f per cent over lsosS. !, says the re-
port OF the department OF agriculture.
Sin 1914 the pack was 100000 cases
lof eyaporated unsweetened milk sor
about 500, 900. GOO pounds

An increase SO tremendous must be
an, infallihle syn Of + its increase In
the affections OF the household. Evaps
Grated milk has already become like
sugar, tea and coffee. one Of the staple
articles of the grocer.
During the first six months OF the
Panama-Pacific international EXPOSE
ton at San Francisco, more than a
million people visited q model milk
coIdensefy; the exhibit or one of the
|1argests eyapprate6 milk ,cuncerpsa in
the country. Most Of these were wo-
mem housewives and mothers, whp
were carrying, oh their own ;fesearch
work In the problem OF securing safe
and pure min fofs heir holss hofds and
their families. =
The agitation which for the last
years has Ibeen carleton in almost
every community to secure rIgid milk
standards, and to obtain 1egislas lion to
force clarlfcation, pasteurization or
cetttfcation Of the total milk supply
has awakened In every housewife, the.
spirit and the desire to ascertain for
herself the best. solution OF the both
ersome milk problem:
Canned Milk Popular.
Z At one OF the many conferences OF
food experts, batterio0 gists, physicians
and nurses held at the exposition this
summer the statement was made that
within decade fresh milk would be
practically entirely replaced by the
canned evaporated product. 1t was;
pointed out that the most rigid vigi-
lance, the most stringent legislation
could and would not. prevent the con.
tamination of all of the milk supply,
because even were it possible to se-
cure mandatory test OF all dairies,s
the intermed iate field between the farm
and the consumer could never be
watched SO carefully that contamina-

Realization OF this fact apparently
was one Of the reasons which made
This mill m 1oN a Of the o,ennofffn,,t ono
which SO appealed to the visiting pub
lie, that 1t was conceded that OF, all,
the exhibits it drew by far the largest
crowds during the entire exposition

The process used in eyaporating'
milk, which is simply pure cows milk
with the water extracted. by vacuum
process and then sterilized, becomes

MORE PROFIT FOR PRODUCER
Missouri Farm Demonstrator Has Plan
to Cut Out Middle Man, Selling
Direct to Consumer.

A recent communication from a
farm demonstration of Missouri opens
up a field of considerable interest to
the live stock man. This wide awake
demonstration is attempting to put his
feeders in direct touch with the pro.
ducers of live stock. He was inquiring
for the names of sheep men who would
be able to ship rather large number
of lambs this fall. II the producers
and feeders can divide the profits Of
the middle. man, the money thus OBJ
tained is like so much clear gain.
Every producer should be anxious
to cut out the leaks between the pro.
duction and the consumption of his
product. BY doing this he assures him.
self OF a greater profit, and at the
same time markets his product at a
lower final cost to the consumer. Such
savings are indeed true economy.

HAVE SOME DEFINITE WORK
Farmsrs' Club Should bs Medium
Through Which to Set In Motion
Best Sentiment Of Community.

No farmers club can attain its
greatest usefulness. II In fact it can
endure. without having something def.
mite to do. Community problems which
require collective effort. such as buy
Ing and selling organizations. good
roads. telephone service. schools, pub.
lie health. and recreation. may be dis.
cussed. There is something lacking
In every community that can be sup.
piled by the efforts Of its people. 1t
Is matter of first determining what
Is most needed. and then by concert.
ed action getting It. An organization
such as a farmers club should be the
proper medium through which to crys-
talize and set in motion the best senti.
ment OF a community. 1t should be
well organized and vigorously prose-
cuted.
Many business organizations are
formed by farmers each year. Where
ever the facilities for trading and mar.
keting are not what they should be,
II is advisable to form these associa.
tons, but there are many matters
which should be thoroughly consid.
ered before doing so. 1t is not a
good thing to organize In order to
prevent someone else from making
money. but rather to cut down ex-
penses and to become more eficient
In fact. the main object should be to
do business more economically.
Business representing large num-
Der Of stockholders cannot be run
successfully without keeping a COM
plete set OF records. No organization
should be attempted without first
making sure that such a record will be
kept.
A little good advice and caution at
the beginning. at whatever cost, is
invaluable. The experience OF the
agricultural extension division has
been that often their services are not
called for until the. affairs OF an enter
prise have drifted into such a condi-
ton that IT is extremely difficult to
right them. The agricultural exten-
sion division will be glad to help all
farmers organizations to start right
and, upon request. will detail some
competent person to meet with the
farmers and assist wherever 1t is pos.
sible to do so. They want to render
assistance when and where It will do
the most good. They would like to see
worthy organizations become more
and more efficient and to this end their
services are at the disposal of all

where in country-climate All
That Could Be Desired.

There can be no question that the
crop campaign begun in the South as
a result of the acute cotton situation
few months ago is going to have last
ing beneficial results" said Capt. A. B.
Rich OF Birmingham, Ala. while In
washington the other day. "A sys-
tematic campaign was begun BY the
Birmingham chamber of commerce.
and is now being carried on. The
farmers of Jefferson county. Alabama,
are alive to the situation, and already
have announced their conversion. II
this is done throughout the South the
way to independence and prosperity is
open.
There is as good land in the south
ern states as can be found anywhere
In the country. and the climate is all
that could be desired for the raising of
all kinds of crops.
i know Of one farm not far from
Birmingham, about $50 acres in ex.
tent, the greater part OF which is un.
der cultivation. and on which no cot.
ton has ever been raised. Hogs, dairy
cows, vegetables and foodstuffs are
grown, and the farm has always been
not only self-sustainins, but exceed.
ingly profitable. A great part Of the
produce finds a market In Birming-
ham. This farm Is handled In a bust.
nesslike manner, the owner keeping a
record of costs Of each crop, the price
received for 1t. and the total profit de-
rivSl, in this way being able to tell
at moments notice just what crops
are paying and those that are not
making money for him
This is the plan OF campaign adopt.
ed by those behind the campaign In
the South, and 1t is a sure thing that
1t will have the results expected-that
is the getting away from the one crop
