MILWAUKEE
CANT GET
MORE COPS

Apparently fearing more trou-
BILE, officials of the Chicago, Mil
waukee & st. Paul railroad ask
ed police headquarters Friday for
more special police, to guard their
property during the longshore-
mems strike.
The city is gradually cutting
down it's list of special men, hav-
ing only 10 guarding the docks
at present, and would not send
any city-paid men to the Milwau-
KEGS aid.
The railroad obtained names of
20 or more men who had worked
for the city police during recent
strike troubles, and hired most of
them as private guards. The spe-
Gals are paid $3.50 per day.
Police officials declare striking
longshoremen have shown no in
dication of threatened violence
for three weeks, and express no
fear of further trouble.

STRIKERS
TO Meet

One of the largest meetings OF
the Tacoma longshoremen since
their strike started in June is ex-
pected tonight at the union hall
when j. p. Thompson, organizer
for the Industrial Workers of the
World is to deliver an address.
Thompson has been invited to
come to Tacoma and talk to the
union men. He will be the only
speaker on the program.
The meeting will be open and
longshoremen invite the public to
attend.
A labor rally for the purpose OF
gaining sympathy and assistance
for the strikers will be held at
the Slovenian hall, Old Tacoma,
Monday night. Among the speak
ers will be Govnor Teats and In
ternational Vice President Kelly.
Secretary August Seitz of the
Tacoma union attended a meet
ing of the Seattle local Thursday
night and invited the Seattle
longshoremen to unite with the
Tacomans in the Labor Day pa
rade.
1t is expected that 500 men
from Seattle will come.
Tacoma strikers say that the
San Francisco local, which practi-
cally seeded from the union re-
Gently when it returned to work,
is voting tonight on a wage scale
submitted by the employers.
If the San Francisco workers
accept the scale, details of which
are not known here, it is expected
that employers on the North Pa
cific may make similar offers of
settlement.

Proper Feeding Would Double
Missouri's Egg Output.

According to the United States
census, Missouri's 100000
hens lay 111,00O,0OO dozen eggs
annually. If this is true. the av-
erage hen lays about 63 eggs a
year. This is a poor record. One
reason why hens are not more
productive is because usually they
are half fed. 1t is false economy
to expect them to pick their living
from the leavings of other stock.
Many farmers admit that they
feed their hens nothing during
the summer. In so doing, they are
saving feed but losing money.
A productive hen requires from
10 to so pounds Of feed a year
If she gets only 40 to 80 pounds,
she will simply satisfy her body
requirements. She will not lay
eggs. The scantily fed hen is a
poor investment. 1t is only the
literally fed hen that yields the
profit.
Farmers should keep dry
ground feed, such as a mixture of
bran, shorts and corn meal, in
hoppcrs before the hens at all
times Either sour milk or but
ter milk should be given as ii
drink. Crushed limestone or
oyster she'll should be before the
hens all the time, and the hens
should 60 to roost with full crops.
One correspondent wrote that
after feeding according to the
directions of the Poultry Depart
ment of the University of Mis-
souri, his hens laid twice as many
eggs. These directions are given
in Circular 76, entitled Feeding
for Egg Production, which is dis
tributed free.-H. l.. Kcmpstcr,

Chinch Bug May Do Great
Damage in 1917.

l.. Hascman, Missouri Agricul-
turaf Experiment Station, says
t that Judging from the numerous
complaints being received by the
Missouri Agricultural Experiment
Station, it seems evident that the
chinch bug is threatening next
year crops. Over the state gen
orally the chincl bugs day was
brought to a close by the heavy
rains of 1915, but as usual, there
were enough for seed" this last
spring and with the unusually dry
summer just passed these in
creased abundantly.
They seem to be most abundant
i'll the central part of the state.
Throughout most Of the corn and
wheat belts of the state there are
probably enough bugs to cause
severe outbreaks next year, II
weather conditions should be eS-
pecially favorable for them. A
dry fall, mild winter, with but lit
tie snow and rain, followed by Il
dry spring and summer are the
conditions which will favor the
pest. The chinch bug is abundant
now, due to the favorable summer
Just passed. but with plenty of
rainfall and snow during the fall.
winter and spring, the chances
will be decidedly against out
breaks next summer.
Since it is not possible to know
what the fall, winter, and spring
may have in store in. the way OF
favorable or ,nfavorable wealth
er, every farmer should do every
thing possible to reduce the
chance of chinch bug injuries next
summer by getting rid of favor
able winter quarters. They win F.

as meadows. pastures. and waste
lands, in woods. neglected fence

clllrrncr Of this pest like the out

which damaged Missouri crops at

vented if possible.
