addressing this word to the farmers
of the country and to al who work
on the farms The supreme need of
our own nation and of the nations
with which we are cooperating is an
abundance of supplies. and especially
of foodstuffs. The importance Of an
adequate food supply, especially for
the present year, is superlative.
Without abundant food, alike for
the armies and the peoples now at
war, the whole great enterprise upon
which we have embarked win break
down and fall.

UTILIZE ALL LOAFING ACRES
Produce Enough to Pay for Taxes,
Let Alone Fencing.

Nearly every year there are num-
Der of acres on the farm that are
loafers, that do not contribute enough
TO the products of the farm to pay for
taxes, let alone fencing. The first
thing to do with these is to drain
them.
Others are stony or gravelly por-
lions which do not and will not pro-
duce sufficient crops to pay for cult
walton; and the proper thing to do
with these is to SOW them to tame
grasses, cover them over with barn
yard manure, and let them stay In
grass. Sometimes a field has been
farmed 50 long that it has ceased to
be profitable, and the only thing to
do with this is to put it down in
tame grass and apply manure heavily.
There are frequently acres on the
farm that are out of the way, that
could better be planted to timber of
some kind suitable to the neighbour
hood. Sometimes there are corners
in a field cut off by a stream, or so IN
conveniently located that they cannot
be farmed to advantage. The time has
now come when we can put these in
| timber.

APPLIANCES OF MUCH VALUE

Trough and Water Fountain
Can &c Made cheaply.

Special appliances are valuable In
poultry raising, according to Ross NJ.
Sherwood, acting head of the depart
ment Of poultry husbandry in the Kan
sas State Agricultural college. In
many cases these appliances can be
made cheaply at home.
The supply bin is used for con-
venlence, and saves going TO the gran
AIRY, pointed out Mr.. Sherwood. The
size depends on the number of fowls.
This bin may be OF metal or wood. or
even tight barrel placed on the floor
or on the wall would answer the pur-
pose.
The self-feeder is used for feeding
bone, mash or charcoal This feeder
has slipping bottom, and the feed
slips down as fast as 1t Is consumed.
Ii is well to have it on a platform two
feet high.
The feeding trough is used for moist
mashes. This may be made of wood
or metal. Often V-shaped trough
with Stats across ii is used. The only
objection to wooden troughs is that
milk sometimes gets in the cracks and
causes poisonous molds to grow.

WARDEN GROVER PLANS
PRACTICAL FISH SCREEN

State Game Warden Grover has plans
of practical screen which he is Of
fering to the farmers for their use
without cost.
The screen can easily be made at
home and has the advantage Of being
easily installed and inexpensive to
manufacture. 1t consists of circular
wheel covered with wire screen. It
revolves on an axis supported by two
posts on each side of the ditch.
The revolving wheel will allow the
debris to pass under, and the contin-
ual drop of the wooden partitions in
side frightens the fish so that they
will not enter the ditch.

how. Hard pressed as little Holland is by Germany, which is growing for food, she is in even worse case when it comes to antagonizing the allies.
 Hudson river and inner New York bay are filled with Dutch ships. There are a lot of others in the ports of England, Australia, Ja- pan, New Zealand and China. If Holland got into the war on Ger many's side, she would almost at once lose the bulk of her conner ciaI fleet and all of her colonies.
 Dutch Guiana, in South America, and the Dutch West Indies would probably fall to our lot. The vast empire of the East Indies would be quickly taken over by England and Japan.
 And Holland itself would be sub ject to speed attack. Her great commercial cities are Rotterdam on one Of the mouths of Rhine and Amsterdam inside the Builder Zee They would come under the guns of the allied fleets Holland itself would afford vantage ground where the allies could land men and attack the German armies in Bel gium in the rear and flank, while the Anglo o-Belgo-French armies kept them busy in Flanders.

They have been serving as voluntary aids to Food Administra- tor ..erbert Hoover MT Pinchot and MT. Lassater resigned, it was said, at the the food administrat ton today, because they differed with the administration officials as to how the meat situation should be han dled. Both contended that the pack ing industry should be taken over and operated by the government, and that the eotton-seed crop be taken so that cottonseed meal cake should be sold to cattle growers at low prices.

WASHINGTON, Nov. p. - The other day when Secretary of State Lansing had his regular conference with the newspaper men, almost every question asked him had to do with the Dutch ships in our har- bors, and whether any action so far taken or contemplated was like ly to lead to a declaration of war by Holland.
 The answer in each case was an emphatic No"
 The United States, in refusing to permit the Dutch ships to have some of our precious coal and in refusing to license those ships to carry our precious grain to Dutch ports, is acting strictly within its rights.
 But this war talk at the present stage of the game is all bunk any

isfactorily adjusted, is the securing of steel plate rollers. Mir. Crocker is now in Washington to secure the assistance of the government in sc curing this material.
 "It was after all these things had been considered that l came to Seat tle I wanted to meet the represen- tative business men of this commun- ity to secure their moral support and active cooperation. l mentioned this to MT. Struve. and he kindly agreed to bring about this meeting tonight. My reason for doing this is that Se- attle is the greatest shipbuilding point on the Pacific coast, and l thought you gentlemen would be vi tally interested in this project. Not only will it be a material adjunct, but it will likewise benefit the en- tire Pacific coast. If cheap steel of as good quality as that manufac- tured in the East can be made here it will be of immense benefit to the continuation of your immense ship building industry.
 Representative Men Present
 In conclusion. Mr. Thane called attention to the fact that nearly all the chrome ore found in America comes from the Pacific coast. He said that 65 to 75 per cent. of the tungsten ore was likewise mined on this slope and that practically all .e came from Alaska mostly from Nome and vicinity. He referred to the available water power sites abound ing in this vicinity as another reas- on for the selection of the Puget Sound site for his plant. Follow ing his address he replied 10 several questions, and William M Barnum of New York, president of the Pa cific Coast Company and it's subsi- diaries, paid a tribute to Mir. John son. the expert engineer referred to by MT. Thane. Those present were:
 Frederick Karl Struve, William M. Barnum, of New York; A. J. Rhoads, president of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce and Commercial Club; Mr Thane. M A Arnold, E. G. Ames, H. G.

gone over by the best authorities in America, and the reports have been most flattering.
 Coal Available For Coke
 ''In contemplating this enterprise it was absolutely necessary that we be accurately informed upon the pos sible ore production. We secured the best exports on this phase. Then it was necessary that we estimate the cost of transportation of this raw material to a certain point, and then arrive at the most economical center at which to establish our plant. We did that and Puget Sound is the result
 We then found that there were no blast furnaces on the Pacific to the establishment of foundry, and I found that the lack of such an establishment was due to a prevail ing belief that there was no avail able supply of good coking coal for blast furnace fuel. ] entered into a thorough investigation of this seem ing handicap and I am now glad to say that the Pacific coast does produce as fine quality of this re- quired coal as can be had in the country. We sent numbers of car loads of various qualities to the East for tests.
 The results were highly satis- factory, even better than we hoped. We had not yet arrived at the point where we were satisfied that the steel business could be made sue cessful on the Pacific coast. The problem of financing such an enter prise then faced us. l explained the possibilities thoroughly to MT. Crock CT, MT Fleischacker and MT, Morse, all California men like myself. We were naturally inclined to favor that state as the site of the plant. but we still had to contend with the economical side of the cost of operations, and transportation forms no mean portion of the expense.
 Many months were required to definitely figure out the most econ omic point of operation, and we de- cided upon Puget Sound. The scope of the project may be realized when I say that the ultimate investment will require $25, 0,000. That will the figures when the en- tire new proposed plant is in opera ton. However, we expect to get started on an investment of approxi- mately $9,000,000. Four million dol lars of this will be required for the plant to manufacture pig iron and the balance of $5,00o,000 represents the required capital necessary to steel.
 ''To further satisfy myself that l had not underestimated the idea l consulted MT. D. c. Jackling,, who. while not having any active part in the proposition. approved of it and offered his advice on certain feat ures.
 "One of our experts, MT A. E. Johnson, after research work in this section. spent year in the Orient on similar mission, as we also thought of the production of ore across the Pacific as part of our source of supply of raw material. On the conclusion of this investiga- ton MT. Johnson reported the plan entirely feasible He recommended the starting of the plant to manu- facture pig iron, and to follow this with the steel rolling mills.
 ''The financing of this big under taking was our next big problem. Approximately 80 per cent. of the required capital needed to start has been subscribed in California, prin- cipally in San Francisco.

FCOKE COAL AVAILABLE

Formally announcing that the re- cent organized steel manufacturing company, in which he is actively in- crested, would be located on Puget Sound, Bart L. Thane, general man lger of the Alaska Gastineau Mining concern, asked part of approxi- nately fifty representative Seattle bankers, manufacturers and ship builders for their moral support to he proposition at an informal din- Ter given in his honor by Frederick Karl Struve at the New Washing on hotel last night, says the Post ntelligencer of Nov. 16
 The project involves one of the most gigantic undertakings ever con ;eived in the West, and when the concern is ultimately completed it will represent an investment of $25,- 100000 Associated with MT Thane n the proposition are William H. Jrocker of the Crocker National Washington arranging some of he preliminary details with the Unit d States government; Herbert Fleischhacker, president of the An slo-London & Paris Bank, of San Francisco, and s. F. B. Morse, a San Francisco capitalist and manu- acturer, who have succeeded in if lancing the immense enterprise Mr Thane announced that within the lext sixty or ninety days the ground will be broken on the plant for the construction of the first buildings, nd that within eighteen months fol- owing the first pig iron would be urned out at the mills. Very short y after that the first steel rolled m the Pacific coast will become 'eality, he said. The preliminary investment will involve the expendi- ure of $9,000,000, representing the cost of the first unit.
