WILL AID DIRECT MARKETING
Uncle Sans Field Agents VIII Endeav-
or to Foster Dealings Between
Producer and Consumer.

Renewed efforts through staff of
field agents to bring about an increase
in direct marketing by use of the par
Gel post, express, and similar agencies
will be made by the bureau of Markets
of the United States department of ag-
riculture with funds made available in
the recently enacted food production
law. Agents will be placed in several
large cities throughout the country to
awaken interest in direct marketing
among customers. At the same time
the agents will work through the post
masters of small towns in their terri
tory to interest producers in furnish
ing supplies.
This will be the first intensive field
work in behalf of parcel post market
ing that the bureau of markets has
been in a position to carry on. 1t is
expected to result in the formation of
carefully selected lists of producers
who may be depended on to supply va
rious products directly to consumers.

Hoover to Assist Farmers
In the Raising of Sheep

"Baa-baa, black sheep, have
you any wool?"
Eyes, sir; yes, sir Mr.. Hoov-
er insists that 1t is my patriotic
duty to increase my customary
three bags full at least 80 per
cent, besides raising a family of
woolly little lambkins to do their
respective bits"
Some such revision may be
made of the old rhyme, for the
food administration is encour-
aging the raising and breeding
of sheep, and will help small
farmers to get flocks started in
a minimum amount of time. In
conjunction with the department
of agriculture, the food admins
tration will encourage the use of
grazing lands now lying idle,
and when a shortage of grass is
threatened in the Southwest will
work to have the focks trans
ferred to Central and Southern
states.
Sheep, it is pointed out, can
find sustenance where the grass
is too short for cattle grazing,
and they are now in great de-
mand, both to clothe the armies
and feed the people of the allied
nations.

DAIRY PROFITS GROW
Result Of Organization of Cow
Testing Associations.
Uncle Sans Experts Believe This Is
Greatest Factor in Upbuilding
Of the Industry.

Increase of from $40 to S15 and in
some cases much higher in the annual
profits from each dairy COW, have re-
suited from the organization of CO.
operative cow-testing associations in
the United States, according to experts
of the dairy division of the department
of agriculture. The expense Of mem
bership in these associations, on the
other hand, has been only about $1.50
per cow per year. The organizations
therefore have been very profitable,
say the experts, who have been in
close touch with this movement.
Because of the great and obvious
economic advantages arising from the
associations, Uncle Sans dairy spe-
cialists believe that the organizations
are one Of the most important factors
for the upbuilding and development of
the dairy industry in this country.
Such an organization generally consists
of 20 farmers, living within radius
of few miles, who cooperate to hire
an expert tester to keep accurate ac-
counts of the amounts and cost of feed
consumed by each COW in the associa-
tion, the quantity of milk produced by
each and its richness in butterfat.
These statistics usually reveal the fact
that some cows are not producing
enough to pay for their keep, while
others are highly profitable. Acting
on this information, the owner of the
cows disposes of the least desirable Of
his animals and makes up his herd ex-
clusively of those that produce a con-
siderable profit.
The membership of the association is
placed at 90, so that the tester can
make a complete round each month,
devoting one day to each member and
that he may keep his records on a
monthly basis. 1t has been found by
careful experiments that the averages
based on monthly tests do not vary
more than per cent from the produc-
ton, as shown by daily observations.
Since the tester is an expert and can
make the necessary tests and computa-
tions rapidly, and since he can be de-
pended on to make his observations in
dependently of pressure of work on the
individual farm, the owners of dairy
tory in many cases to have their test
ing done through the association than
to undertake to do it themselves.
Experts of the dairy division say that
there are now nearly $50 cow-testing
associations in this country, 1876 having
been added during the past year. These
associations are said to have an aggre-
gate membership of $500 farmers,
owning approximately 100000 cows.
The cow-testing association originated
in Denmark in 1895 and the first or
ganization in this country was formed
in Michigan in 1906. Because of the
value of the associations to the dairy
industry of the United States the de-
partment of agriculture is stimulating
interest in them and is assisting farm
ers in their organization.

MARK WAR VICTIMS GRAVES
This VIII Be Duty of New Service Or
ganized by Uncle Sam for Duty
In France.

American soldiers who give their
lives to the cause in which the nation
has enlisted will not lie forgotten on
foreign soil If the careful preparations
Of the general staff can prevent 1t.
Relatives of the men who go to the
front in France may rest assured that
every effort will be made to locate and
register the graves of the men killed in
action or who die of disease.
Army orders direct that a graves
registration service, quartermaster
corps, be organized for the duration of
the war. The first unit will be COM
manded by a captain, aided by sec
ond lieutenant and will include 40 en-
listed men of different grades. The
duties of service are not prescribed be-
yond the name which itself discloses

LEADS ALL IN CANNED GOODS
American Industry Greatest in World
and Promises to Show Great
Expansion After War.

The American canning industry is
the largest in the world, and the de-
velopment of an increased export trade
depends to great degree upon the ed
ucation of the people in foreign coun-
tries to the variety and wholesomeness
of American canned foods AS step
toward acquainting foreign peoples
with the American canned foods avail
able for export, the processes of can
ming, system of grading, and methods
of packing, Uncle Sans bureau of for
eign and domestic commerce has is
sued a bulletin providing this infor-
nation.
Undoubtedly as result of the war,
American products have become much
more widely known abroad, and on the
conclusion of hostilities the normal
field will be found to have greatly
broadened, it is expected.
The bulletin, which has a large num-
ber of illustrations designed to show
the exact sizes of the different grades
of canned products and the process of
canning, has separate sections devoted
to the preparation of raw material,
brining, blanching, siruping, exhaust
ing, closing, processing and cooling.
There are also chapters on food in
spection and complete tables are in
cluded giving the number of cans to
the case, the net and gross weight of
cans, and the size of the case in which
they are packed. These wo-y:hts an
measures are given in both the usa;
and metric units.

Crops Worth Millions Are
Saved From the Squirrels

More than S1,OOO,OOO worth of
crops were saved from ground
squirrels in North Dakota this
year as a result of campaign
conducted by the department of
agriculture in cooperation with
state authorities.
Similar savings may be eff.
fected elsewhere in the vast
area infested by these animals"
according to a department state
ment.
The squirrels on 100000
acres in North Dakota were
killed by means of poison at a
cost of about five cents an acre.
Nearly 10000 farmers assisted
in the work.
Similar work has been started
in Montana, Idaho and Oregon
and interest is being developed
in Nevada and California in or
ganizing like campaigns of ex-
termination.

WILL FEED PRISONERS
Red Cross to Care for Uncle
Sans Men in Germany.
Speedy Relief Made Necessary by Fact
That Ratlons Given captives by
Teutons Are Inadequate.

The American Red Cross has perfect
ed plans for Americans who may be
captured and held in German prison
camps. A prisoners relief committee
has been organized at Berne, Switz-
erland, under the supervision of Ellis
L. Dresel of the American legation. Mr..
Dresel served from the outbreak of
the war in 1914 up to our recall of Mr..
Gerard as an attache of the American
embassy at Berlin, where his duties
Included relief work for men of the
entente nationalities in German prison
camps.
There are now comparatively few
American prisoners in Germany. Most
of these are civilians taken off Amer
lean merchantmen that have been sunk
by submarines. More recent arrivals
in the prison camps had served as gun
crews on merchant ships.
Speedy provision for their relief and
for those who may be taken prisoners
is necessitated by the German policy
of giving prisoners food totally made
quate to keep them in good health.
A recent cable from Paris tells of
French soldier just back from a Ger
man prison camp and in the last stage
of tuberculosis. This soldier was one
of a battalion of thousand young
and healthy men captured in body,
early in the war. More than 80 per
cent of the number are now dead, or
have been returned to France, via
Switzerland, as incurables.
Malnutrition, no less than unsanitary
conditions, produces these results. Brit
ish, Canadian, and Australian prison
ers of war in Germany now depend ex-
clusively upon food shipped to them
from London and generally give the
prison camp rations to prisoners of
other countries, who are, as rule,
less well provided. Bread is already
being dispatched from Berne to the
Americans in Germany, and arrange
ments have also been made for trans
mitting letters and money from their
families and friends in this country.
Thus far bread only has been sup
piled by the Berne committee of the
American Red Cross. Assorted food
parcels and clothing will also be for
warded. In the meantime the Central
Prisoners of War committee of London
is acting on behalf of American pris-
oners in Germany, sending them such
foods as the committee regularly dis
patch to British and colonial prison
ers.
BY arrangement with Germany these
food parcels are sent to the prisoners
three times fortnight. Each of the
parcels which supplement the bread,
also regularly supplied, contains ten
pounds of meat, butter, sugar, jam,
coffee or tea, salt, rice, and dried
fruit. The American Red Cross is
forwarding to Berne stocks of the
same foodstuffs, aa well as cheese,
evaporated milk, Goldfish, and mixed
biscuit. Timed goods cannot be sent
to prisoners, for Germany has made
over the tin containers as hand gren-
ades.

Army Uniform Protected.

Acting on reports that letter carriers
at a certain place have been wearing
hats similar to those prescribed for
use by the army, the post office depart
ment issued an order forbidding the
wearing of uniform by employees of
the service any part of which is SINH
lar to distinctive part of that pre-
scribed for the army, navy or marine
corps.

Gardiner Gardeners Attention

This year of all years do not ne
glect the garden. Plant just as large
q piece of ground as you think you
can pay proper attention to until Jack
Frost claims it. In July, 1916, there
were 164,000,0O0 bushels of wheat in
the L. s. which had been received
the year before and 4S2,000,000 bushels
of winter wheat We're purchased dur
ing the year 1916. On the first of July
1917 there will be practically none of
the previous years crop on hand and
the crop of winter wheat was $4,000
900 bushels below that of last year. 1t
is probable that this shortage of 216,-
600, 900 bushels cannot be made up. Ev-
cry individual who has a plot OF
ground can help make up this deticien-
cy in the food supply by raising and
conserving every possible pound of
vegetables that his ground will pro-
duce. Isn't this your duty?
