Experienced pigeon raisers of this

Lieuts. Buscall and Karney of Pitts

be ready for service in tho Signal Corps.
An aviator starting out from behind
the lines will take with him on his
machine ten or twelve Of these pigeons.
When he secures information which
he desires to transmit to tho head
quarters of the Army it will be writ
ten in code and inclosed in message
holder on the pigeons leg. Tho bird
then is to be liberated for its home

does not have to return to quarters
when he secures any information, but
can continue onward until all Of the
pigeons have been liberated with mes
sages.
Pigeons Of Greet Service.
According to a report of a high Army
officer, who recently returned from the
battle front, the pigeons now in use
there are doing wonderful work. He
stated that about 81 per cent of the
messages carried by pigeons are deliv-
cred and that they are proving of
greater aid than any other means of
communication.
1t is stated the conclusion of the big
guns on the battlef1elds is so great
that it Is impossible at times to use
the wireless apparatus, but the pigeons
rarely ever fail to deliver the messages,
as they fly high above the whizzing
shells.
The United States pigeon intelligence
service was established in the Signal
Corps some time ago, after French Of
ficers and others had brought informa-
tion to the United States Of the yalua-
BILE work the birds had been doing over
in Europe. 1t is expected many other
racing pigeon flyers will enter the
service If the war is prolonged and that

Praise Given to Women.

II want to praise the women of this
country" says Mr.. Pack farther on in
his report. because it is the women
who in peculiar sense understand
what the war means. 1t Is my expert
ence that the practical women of Amer
lea have been practicing thrift for
many years and that they know fun
well how to practice economy without
parsimony, and that this year, in addi-
ton, they have added to their duties
the patriotic work Of extra food pro-
duction and extra food conservation.

In the name Of the commission Mr..

$50 MILLIONS ADDED
TO FOOD VALUE IN j. S.
Million and Half Acres Of Gardens
Under Cultivation for First
Time, Says Pack.

BY planting gardens during 1917 that
under ordinary conditions would have
lain idle the people of this country
increased the nations food supply to
the extent Of more than $3.50 000, 900,
according to the estimate Of Charles
Lathrop Pack. president Of the national
emergency food garden commission.
This estimate. which Mr.. Peck says
is conservative one, is made in a re-
view Of the years work of the COM
mission just made public, and he pre-
diets even greater work along this line
in the summer OF 1918. He says that
the garden campaign reached every sec
ton Of continental United States, and
adds:
Acres Cultivated for First Time.
This means 1.150,000 acres Of civ
ana town land were under cultivation
the last season for the first time Ur-
ban and suburban America became a
