MOVIES
WOULD BE fine
FOR RECRUITING
Mai. Croxton Advocates Film
AS Best Way to Interest
Men in Army Life

Advocating the use of moving pic
lures Of the U. S. army life as the
most effective agency for recruiting
now available for the service, Maj.
X. c. Croxtof, 9TH Infantry; u, 5. e.,
has written an article for the Ameri-
can Defense Society in which he hg-
ures out the actual element of cost
and the theoretical potentially Of
such a scheme for recruiting.
After asserting that the ideal way
to interest prospective recruits would
be to take them to Hawaii, Panama,
the Philippines and other places and
show them Just what the job is" but
that this would be too expensive, tie
major says:
by making this trip, however, with
moving picture camera we can take
pictures of all that these men would
see and see done, and by showing
these to the public we could ccnVey
to the men sought fully 80 FER cent of
all they would learn from the trip,
and do so at a cost Of about four
cents per man. II it can be accepted
as reasonable TO assume that / per
cent of those who see these pictu -es
will decide that the job is acceptable
to them we shall be getting recruits
by this method at an expense of
about one-third the present cost of
recruiting.
The popular idea that military life
consists in having the neart drilled
cut of one will easily be dispelled
when soldiers are shown doing dozens
of military things, such as cleaning
rifle, gallery and range practise,
scouting. advance guard work, fire
control, outpost duty, road sketching,
athletics in every form, kitchen 20
lice, camp or post police, practise
marches, tent pitching entrenching,
signaling, etc. Three thousand feet
of film, honestly taken with view
to giving true idea of what an en-
listment period means, viii tell more
and do it more convincingly than 39n0
pages of printed matter or 5000 hours
Of talk.
Instead of maintaining from four
to 20 stations in these cities one sta.
ton in each should be left to take
care of the steady flow of applicants,
and all the rest of the country should
be covered by travelling moving pic,
ture recruiting parties, which would
spend from three days to two weeks
in each town or city, give five free
shows day, and with line officer
and a surgeon and six enlisted men
operating the usual recruiting office
in the building all day a child can see
that results would be immediate and
cost insignificant as compared with
antiquated methods.

In discussing the army appropria-
ton bill Congressman A. P. Gardner
Of Massachusetts, said recently:
There has been a lot of talk be
cause this bill only provides for the
payment of 10000 men of tine line,
or Whereabouts Inasmueh as We
have been flattered by reports to the
effect that the new army legislation
gives as a force of rather more than
100000 men, no wonder that the fact
that we only appropriated money to
pay about half OF that number has
created a good deal of adverse COM
ment. The explanation is easy enough
and it doesn't rest altogether on the
matter of slow enlistments. Most
people in glibly chatting about the
size of the new army provided by the
HaNChamberIain act entirely over

far as to exercise critical function
over the affairs of the national body
and to demand full reorganiz ition
of its various activities When these
appeared unsatisfactory.
The resignation followed 4 long Sc

PORK PRODUCTION ON

Hogs Can Be Marketed Sooner,
Which Is Often Great AID.
vantage to Some Farmers.

When cOrn is high priced and pas
ture plentiful, 1t will pay to feed less
than q full feed Of grain to hogs, says
W.. L. Robson. in the Monthly Bull
letin of the Ohio Experiment station.
When corn alone is fed, q limited ra-
ton is much cheaper because green
feed takes the place of much of the
high-priced grain.
Hogs fed all the grain they will eat
make more rapid but less economical
gains. They can be marketed sooner
which often is an advantage to farm
ers.
For hog pasture, alfalfa, clover, rape
and soy beans are recommended. Corn
is usually fed alone to hogs in such
pasture. Pigs weighing less than 100
pounds should receive a small amount
Of protein feed, such an tankage, in
addition to the corn. About l part
to Is parts of corn is recommended.
With larger hogs pork production is
usually too expensive when tankage
Is fed.

JUDGING POULTRY IS
NOT DIFFICULT TASK
Pu|Iet With Fine Head, Alert Eyes
and Fine WattIeS Has Not
Gone Far Amiss.

Judging poultry is said to be a finer
art than the selection of other farm
animals, says an Ohio Agricultural
college expert, but the man or woman
who picks pullets with a fine head,
alert eyes and comb, face and wattles
of fine texture, has taken the first step
toward increased egg production.
Good pullets should stand square on
their feet, with legs wide apart, with
the front end of the body slightly
higher than the posterior end, and
with a long back and tail carried
rather high. The body should be
wedge-shaped, yielding ample room
for the reproductive and digestive Or
gans.

FALL FLOWING FOR
CONTROL OF INSECTS
Particularly Advantageous as 1t
Will Destroy Large Number
of Injurious Pests.

Fall blowing will be particularly ad'
vantageous this fall, as it will destroy
large numbers of insects that do dam
age to crops. Cut worms, corn ear
worms, grasshoppers and army worms
will be greatly reduced in numbers by
fall blowing. This is accomplished by
turning out these insects at a crucial
stage of development and exposing
them to the frosts and rains or ID
breaking open the cells in which they
are transforming. This is good prac'
tice each year, but it is especially rec
commended this fall in view Of the pres
ence of an unusual number Of various
worms in the soil and the fact that
the army worm has been so numerous
during the summer.

PAINT METAL ROOFS
WITH thin RED LEAD
Because Of Oily Surface and
Gloss Paint Does Not Stick
Keep It Well Stirred.

(By j. A. BONNELL. South Dakota Elk"
pertinent Station.)
Paint will not stick very we'll to a
new galvanized roof because of the
oily surface and gloss. Let it weather
awhile, then if still too glossy give it
a brushing with a wire brush.
The best prime coat for metal is red
lead thinned and rubbed on well. Let
it get thoroughly set before applying
second coat. Paint cannot dry in~On
metal as it will on wood. 1t must set
and cling only to the surface. We
recommend 35 pounds of dry red lead
to one and One-eighth gallons of boiled
oil and n quart of turpentine. Thin,
if necessary, with more t%urpentine.
Mix the dry lead with three-fourths
of the oil a day or SO before using SO
as to soak it good, then add the rest
of the oil and the turpentine when
ready for use. Stir well before and
during use, for the lead settles to the
bottom. After this prime coat, any
paint a be applied.
