GREAT Med or FOOD
No Danger of 0yerproduction
This Year.-Dean Mumford:
Any Surplus Which American Farmers
Can Produce Will Be Quickly Alb
sorbed by Hungry People of
England and France.

While the farmer is being urged to
greater and greater production, he
naturally considers the possibility of
overproduction. Many farmers in
the state have advanced this question.
According to Dean F. B. Mumford in
the Missouri College of Agriculture,
overproduction is exceedingly improb-
able this year. 1t has been agreed that
this country's part in the war Will be
largely to supply food. sour food
resources have been depleted by ship
ments to Europe and by several poor
crop years." said Dean Mumford re-
Gently. "and now with unrestricted eX-
port to the allies, the small reserve
which we have will be further de-
creased. Any surplus which the
American farmers can produce Will be
nnicl5lv absorbed at wartime prices.
Nillicns of people in England, France
and other countries at war with the
German powers are in need OF fcod.
They must have food not only Tor
their civilian population but for their
! armies, They are too busy fighting to
rrovide that food themselves. It then
behooyes the United States to supply
| food.
"But it is not alone for the allies
that we must produce maximum crops
If we should have a poor crop year
throughout the country, our own peo-
pie may actually suffer.
eff Germany is able to continue the
ruthless submarine warfare unlilA'

way to Europe. Consequently th'
losses will tend toward further short

What would happen if peace should
come within the next few weeks!
Would not the markets be glutted!
In answer to these questions, Dean
Mumford said: at is doubtful II

demand for food Immediately folloWin?

every nation which is now at wa!

lean farm produce. Those countries
have no food reserve left and they
will turn to the United States to fur

until they can feed themselves"
AS an example Of the actual scarcity
of food in America, Dean Mumford
cites the condition Of wheat: "1n 1915
the United States produced 10 bush.
els of wheat per capita; in 1916 We
produced bushels per capita, but
used 1-3 bushels for seed and ordi'
nary consumption and exported 2k
bushels per capita. The present condl'
ton of wheat in the United States is
| So per cent of a normal crop. This
is % per cent below the average for
the last ten years. The condition in
Missouri is even worse-59 as COM
pared with the 15-year average of Sc
per cent. The latest reports are that
the world crop of wheat is far below
average" Other foods are CORE
spondingly scarce.

GROUNDED WIRE FOR FENCES
Dancer of Death to Farm Animals
From Lightning May Be Avoided
With Little Work.

All danger of death to farm animals
coming in contact with fence wires
heavily charged may be avoided by at
taching a wire to the strands of the
fence every two or three hundred feet,
running one end of it into the ground
about four feet deep.
This will afford an outlet for the
electricity and render the wire fence
as safe as any other.

WAR GARDENS FOR EVERYONE
Supplies Are Needed for Armies Fight
Ing for Brotherhood and Peace,
Says Dean Woods.

Every family should have it's own
garden this year. "To do so will be to
release supplies for the armies that
are fighting for brotherhood and
peace" says Dean A. F. Woods of the
Minnesota College of Agriculture.
"To hasten the close of the wal"
adds Dean Woods, "we must feed the
people in the armies. The farmers are
doing everything possible and the peo-
pie Of the towns should assist by
avoiding waste and extravaganza.
They should make gardens not only in
their back yards, but in their front
yards as WE'LL and on vacant lots.
They should organize garden clubs, in
Guiding women and children, and
grow enough to supply their needs not
only through the summer, but through
the winter. They can do this by in
tensive effort"
Dean Woods urges boys and girls
clubs, Boy Scouts, teachers, preachers
ard all puhlic-spirited citizens to lead
10 this work. ,.-~:--4

BIG MONEY FROM PUREBREDS
Interesting Comparison Made by Hi.
nois Agricultural College on
Dairy Profits.

A comparison of the yearly incomes
Of 124 farms where purebred bulls
were kept at the head of the dairy
herd, with 466 dairy farms where a
grade bull was used, has been made by
the Illinois Agricultural college.
The average farm income for the
first list of farms was $1,102 after de-
Quoting taxes, interest on investment,
etc. Where grade bull was used the
farm income was $734. On SO farms
where scrub bulls were used the farm
income was only $243, or only half
enough to pay interest on the invest
ment, to say nothing about any pay for
the owners time.

HANDY COVERED MILK PALS
More important in Dirty Stable Than
in Clean One-Wire Gauze Is
Sometimes Used.

Covered milk pals are more neces'
sary in a dirty than in a clean stable
Such pals are designed to reduce the
size of the opening and thereby ex'
pose less milk to the air and the dust
In some cases, layers of cotton and
wire gauze are placed over the small
topped pail.
Careful trials have demonstrated
that 60 per cent less dirt and from %
to 90 per cent fewer bacteria get into
the milk when covered milking pals
are used.

DAIRYING INDUSTRY In WEST
Small Farmer Is More Dependent UP.
on Sale of Products Than Many
Are Ready to Admit.

No greater calamity could befall the
farmers of the West than the destruc'
ton Of all places where cream or but
ter could be sold. The small farmer
is more dependent upon the sale Of
dairy products than many are willing
to admit. The cream-receiving sta
lions and the possibility of easy ship
ment to the creamery have for years
been the mainstay for many western
farmers and as such they will continue
to be.

FACTS ABOUT GOATS

Every vici kid shoe is made
from goatskin.
All "mohair" goods in the
dress line are made from goat
hair.
The average Angora goat will
produce about six or eight
pounds of mohair.
The meat Of the purebred goat
is excellent and very similar to
mutton.
The silk plush of every Pull
man car is made Of Angora goat
hair.
The Angora reaches the size
of an ordinary sheep, but it is
slower to mature.
Goat milk gives a constitution
to the child which cannot be OBJ
tanned from cows milk.
Angoras will thrive and live in
any climate of our country where
sheep will.

Salt is required by all animals. The
