American Training Camp in France.
Ju,v 1S.-(By the Associated Press.)-
The busiest of all the American troop
departments these days Is the quar-
termaster's, which is working almost
feverishly to perfect its system OF
supplying the men with all the neces-
saries. The quartermaster already
has a three months supply Of all foods
within a short distance of the camp
and q constant ten days supply here.
The troops are still eating the dark
French bread, but within three days
bakeries will have been established
and the rations will change to white
bread with heavy crust that makes
it transportable and durable. The
American then will be the only one in
Europe eating white bread. 1t is to-
day the biggest meat consumer. as the
men receive ration of 20 ounces
daily.
Living on Field Ration.
The American soldiers are now liv-
ing on the so-called field ration,
which consists of 20 ounces fresh beef
daily or IL ounces of bacon, or II
ounces of canned meat. or IS ounces
OF canned salmon; Is ounces of soft
or hard bread. or flour or beans; 90
ounces of potatoes with similar
amount of onions or tomatoes; an
ounce and a quarter of coffee anG
three ounces of sugar. with salt. pep.
per and syrup as well as prunes. dried

supplies all arrive there will be some
butter which will be distributed as
an extra on special occasions.
Wine Gift stieksr.
The quartermaster's department Is
still trying to decide what to do with
gift made by the French govern
ment to the American troops in honor
of the Fourteenth of July. the French
national holiday, consisting of cham
payne, red wines. jellies, ham and
other delicacies. There is a consid-
cradle quantity of champagne and red
wine for each soldier and officer but
the present authorities have not beer
able to decide whether to distribute
these wines would be in violation OF
covering the question of liquor to SOL
diers. So far the troops have beer
Irigidly held to water.

highly successful.

The holes for the trees should bo dug large enough to receive the roots of the young trees without crowding them. Before setting, cut off all broken or mang!ed roots and cut back the trees to correspond With the root system that is left.
 Must Care for the Trees.
 It is impossible to grow fruit un- lcss we devote considerable time to the care of the trees. There are nu- i,orous insects and diseases that are : ways on hand to destory the trees s soon as they are planted, but for tunately we have remedy for most
 these If you do not intend to >Iune, cultivate and spray your or charj then it is best not to plant one, becai.se it will serve only as breed ing place for insects and diseases that will iniure your ncighbor's orchard. A barrel spray pump should be on hand wherever homo orchard is planted. These pumps can be rur- chased complete for about $150o to S2O.O0, and ono pump will be sufIi- eient to take core of seyerai homo or chards. Tn order to get results from spraying, the work must be done thor oughly. Spraying is not a difficult operation nor is it very expensive compared to the returns which it brings.
 If you are figuring On planting a home orchard, write to the EEtcnsion Division, University of Arkansas, Fay etteville, Ark, and let Us help yGa in the selection of varieties suited to your section.

BEAT THE H.C. OFL
 BY RA|5ING FRUIT
Every Home in Arkansas Should Have Enough Fruit Trees To Supply
 Family With Preserves.
By J. s. Knox, Extension Division
 University of Arkansas.

There are hundreds of homes in Ar kansas where a real fruit tree cannot be found, and thousands of otheI. 5 where the plantings are conhn, l A the fence corners or terraces. Such should HOY be the case, but every farm nome, whether occupied by land own ar or tenant, should have a well kept orchard of from one-half to one acre. Only few trees of each kind of fruit will be needed 10 supply an abundance of fruit for the family. There is nothing nicer than being able to go into your own orchard and gather basket of aiee ripe fruit from your own trees or vines
 The Best Plaee for ar Orchard.
 The location of the home orchard is Of great importance. Since it's ob- ioct is to supply the home with fresh frI;.ss, it should he located as convea- icEt as posa zle to the home. It should ba remembered, however, that s'.it trees will not thrive iii cold. wet soils, GHl l it may be best to sacrifice near EcSs to the home for more favora abla location. Your farm may not have any very favorable places for an or chard, but there are very few farms where there isn't small area that could be mado 10 produce d fair crop of fruit Wherever possible, a gentle slope should be selected for the or chard, since such places are less like ly to suffer from frosts or excessive water in the soil
 Buy From Reliable kurscrymen.
 Too much stress cannot be placed on the importance of buying trees from reliable nurserymen. No matter how ideal the soil or the location, one cannot succeed with poor trees. Tn buying fruit trees. by all means avoid the so-called fruit tree agent unless you know him personally and know that he represents d thoroughly reli- able nursery.
 The time of ripening of tho dif ferent varieties should also be given careful consideration, since by a proper selection of this kind we can have fruits ripening all along from May to November. Generally speak ing, one-year- trees are preferable because they are not so badly dam aged in digging and since they can be shaped more to your liking. Plant Properly at Right Time. Fruit trees may be planted at any time from the first of December to the first of March, but the early planting

Bradford Knapp Urges Establishment of County Agent in Every
 County in the State.

A Greater Arkansas with county agent and a county home demonstra- tion agent in every county in the state is now a possibility for the first time in the history of the d"monstra- ton work. The U. s. Department of Agriculture will assist toe EXtnnS;cn Division of the University of Arkan- sas in promoting the work if the peo- pie of the various counties will do their pat.
 ia speaking of tho proposed work for Arkans Is, Bradford Knapp, chief of tke States Relations Service with the United States Department of Agri. culture says:
 ''I am very much concerned over the uestion of a full organization Of the work this year. l mean by that a county agent and a county home derG- onstrstion agent in every county.
 This is a great Democracy and we cannot do anything without the help Cf thn people. If they could only real fze how veIy important the work is to them I feel that we would have the best kind ot co operation. A,kan- sas has always done well along these lines and I hope she will come up as a banner stale this year.
 4 County Agent For Every County.
 At the beginning of the war wit. Germany last April when measures were being considered by Congress to place this country in the best possible position to win this war, one of the measures considered was tho increas- ing o1 the force of couaiy agents and county home douonStration agents and a considerable appropriation was made to the Department for that pur- pose. The money appropriated was simply to increase the number and en- able the same organization to be eX. tended to counties which had not had this service before. This can be done only in case there is local cooDera. ton
 These agents arc necessary to county especially during this war be. cause the Federal Government has many duties for them to perform In rendering help to the people of tho county. They render assistance ir marketing. In the storage of food and feed, in locating supplies of seed for planting, in preserving seed for flu ture use, in helping to prevent and eradicate livestock diseases, in help iaS to reduce damage from insect pests. and in many other ways. All Of the things just mentioned are fully organized right straight from tn"

FEDERAL AID FOR COUNTY NOW
 UP TO QUORUM COURT

Many counties having agents real ize tho demand for these experts and are asking the Extension Divi- sion of the University of Arhan- gas to help them retain their agents. Counties not having agents are already petitioning for aid in se- curing them. The business people of every county know that the couaty agent work has done more than any one thing to increase the prosperity of the rural communities and add mil lions to the bank roll of the farmer and they are anxious Q san a county farm demonstration agent and g coun- ty home demonstration agent in every county in the state The emergency appropriation recently made by Con gross makes this possible. Tap gov ernment has done it's part.
