RECORD
IN FOOD DRIVE

The first lap of an unusual drive for
increased food production is being
completed in Iowa. As result, Iowa
probably will do more than her share
of feeding the United States and her
allies, despite the fact that 75 per
cent of her Winter wheat crop was
killed. For the first time in the coun-
try's history the Corn Belt States pro-
misses to produce 400. 900, 900 bushel
corn crop. and will lead the entire
middle west in the yield.
Because of the shortage Of winter
wheat. most serious in Kansas. Nebras-
ka and the Dakotas. corn is certain to
attain more Importance than ever as
an article of human food. Until the
present less than 10 per cent of the
world s corn crop has been used for food
for human beings. Now the country's
greatest cereal crop is expected to
bound into some measure Of the popu-
larity held by wheat.
The middle west will gather the
greatest corn crop in all history this
fall, provided weather conditions are
at all favorable. Reports Of crop ex-
perts in IL of the leading corn belt
states indicate that the yield will be
increased by more than 500, 900, 900
bushels.
Despite the fact that the call for the
mobilization of farm resources came
rather late to affect many important
crops outside of corn, the farmers OF
the middle west have responded by
planting all the crops they possibly can
care for and save this year. Next
year, should the food shortage con-
tinue, the middle west will smash all
records for crop production. The win.
ter wheat acreage will be vastly in
creased and fertilizing and farming
will be on a more extensive scale than
| ever.
Much of the activity Of the middle
western farmers this spring has been
devoted to thorough preparation of
their corn ground and in planting
such crops as soy beans, s,sorghum. bar
ley. oats and kaffir corn. Increase in
the acreage of potatoes and garden
crops has been enormous and this sum
mer. at least, the country should be
flooded with cheap food.
Farmers who own tractors have been
working them night and day in Iowa
and Kansas. The latter state has
mobilized more than 500 tractors for
farm work under the direction of the
Defense Council and is working them
to the limit, the night shifts being pro-
vided from towns and cities near.
So far it has not been necessary to
employ women for farm work, except
in isolated cases, although later on the
shortage of labor is going to be most
serious. Thousands of wives and
daughters of South Dakota farmers
found it necessary to work in the fields
for few weeks this spring in order
that the wheat acreage might be in
creased.
/ Hundreds of thousands of women
will be employed this summer in can
| ming of fruits and vegetables. In
Iowa more than $50 demonstrators
will give canning demonstrations in
every community. One Iowa county
has already held 200 such demonstra-
tions to interest the women in thrift
work. Other states are organizine
women for the same work and canning
of fruits and vegetables this summer
| will be conducted on an enormous scale.

.CAvAldYMEN now
IN THE TRENCHES

American cavalry regiments now
undergoing intensive training may be
surprised on their arrival at the
French front to find their horses rele-
gated to the stables and themselves to
the tren ches.
As matter Of fact. the role of the
French cavalry has been largely one
of afoot in the trenches. Unless the
whole character of the war on the
western front should change completely
it is entirely possible that American
cavalry may undergo the same exper-
ience.
The change in the war that came
when the Germans dug themselves
in on French soil rendered it necessary
for large number of the French cav
airy regiments to be dismounted and
the men utilized IN the foot service.
Enough of the cavalry was retained to
meet any requirements that may yet
come with reversal to open warfare,
but the wisdom Of the change has been
demonstrated by the fact that since
then the French cavalry that still con-
tinues as such has only had two occa-
sions to get into action. During the
first few days of the Battle of the
Somme cavalry patrols were thrown
out ahead of the advancing infantry for
few days and during the German re-
treat of last March the cavalry again
had a busy week chasing the fleeing
Germans.
But that has been all. With the
whole war on a atrench basis, these
cavaliers. a pied or cavalrymen afoot
as they are known, took their turns in
the trenches.

LUMBER FOR THE ARMY
COSTS NEARLY 100000

From July to the present time ap-
proximately 1900 carloads of lumber
have been furnished by mills of Wash
ington and Oregon at cost of about
81, 200, 900 for the construction of the
army cantonments at Camp Lewis,

placed, about all that will be required.
The orders went to 100 mills.
The work of supplying such a great
quantity Of lumber on such short no.
tice necessitated many shortcuts and
every means possible were taken to
get the lumber through on time. On
one occasion representatives of So
mills were present and no orders were
given to those who could not promise
shipment within week. After 5000,
COO feet of lumber was ordered for Des
Moines trainload of 81 cars left
Portland and another of ~ cars left
Hoquiam, Wash, within five days af-
ter the committee gave the word.
Every sash and door factory in the two
states was pushed to get out the neces
sary equipment and to meet conditions
six carloads of glass were ordered by
wire from Pittsburg, Pa.

The Swimming Pool

: Now that harvest is drawing to a
close, agitation for swimming pool
is noted. Some weeks ago start was
made to raise funds for the construc-
tion of a pool, but harvest operations
were so close at. hand that the work
was deferred with a portion of the
funds raise. A general interest is
being manifested in the enterprise, and
with the completion of wheat hauling
the work will be promptly taken up
an completed. The plans and specif-
cations are at hand, and with men and
teams released from harvest, it should
not take much time to work out the
details of construction.
