Suggestions that the United States be permitted to take the production of the North cliffe plants were made by the trade commission some weeks ago to the British publisher. who accepted. it was said. on condition that the paper will be distributed by the publishers association under supervision of the trade commission.

DAIRY
FACTS
First Aim 10 to Cut Down WhoIe-MilI<
Period-ResuIts Of Tests at North
Dakota Station.

In feeding the dairy calf. the aim is
TO cut down the period Of whole-milk
feeding. At the North Dakota expert
ment station, two lots of four calves
each were fed as follows: Whole milk
first three weeks, both lots. From
then on lot A was fed one-half whole
milk and one-half skim milk. till six
months old. Lot b, after three weeks
old, fed skim milk with fiaxseed; just
enough flax was added to supply as
much fat as was given the calves in
lot A In their whole milk. Each calf
was given two gallons of milk a day.
The whole-milk calves made the best
gains the first three months, but dur
ing the next three months the skim
milk calves nearly caught up, the four
lacking but Is pounds of weighing as
much as the whole-milk calves. Sew
eral expert cattlemen who examined
the two lots pronounced the calves
In lot b in as thrifty a condition as
those i'm lot A. The saving in using
skim milk and flax in place of the
whole milk amounted to SO per calf
for the six-month period. The grain
and hay cost the same for both lots.

KING LEwANIKA's STATE BOAT
Royal Craft 10 100 Feet Long, Cavries
Monster Elephant Emblem, Court
Jester and Musicians.

"While travelling In Rhodesia,"
writes a contributor in the Wide World
Magazine, 81 managed to get glimpse
Of King Lewanika's state barge. The
chief of the Barotse Is fine fellow,
but was much amused one afternoon
to see him going out for row attired
In top hat and gaudy dressing
gown.
"Soon after the rains commence the
Barotse valley is flooded and natives
migrate to the sandy belt some miles
away for the season. The king al
ways makes the trip in the royal barge,
an enormous craft about 100 feet long.
In the center are two compartments,
both covered In, one being the living
room and the other the sleeping quar-
tiers. On the roof of one of these COM
partments Is erected a monster ele-
plant, a sort of kingly emblem,
while on the other stands the court
Jester, who, on this occasion, amused
the populace by pretending to hunt
and shoot the elephant. A band OF 20
musicians were accommodated on the
barge, in addition to whom there were
80 or GO paddlers and host of bailers.
for the barge was by no means water
tight. To the accompaniment of weird
music and barbarlc song the huge craft
was propelled along on Its journey. the
return voyage taking place ur or Ave
months later"

Food Problem Grows More. Serious as

BY ROBERT J. BALDWIN,
Director Of Extension Work MICHIGAN
AGRICULTURAL CoIleue

Agricultural College.
East Lansing, Mich.-The plans of
the Michigan Agricultural college ex-
tension division for the coming win
ter's work are being made in accord
ance with requests from the federal
government that all effort be confined
to the food problems resultant from
war needs. 1t is anticipated that the
same problems encountered during the
present season will have to be met In
even more acute form next year !;
namely, farm labor seed, fertilizer and
credit. In addition, the more technical
problems of agriculture such as crop
culture, control of diseases and pests,
drainage and animal feeding will be
given more attention than formerly.
During the present season aid has
been given through the 80 regular
county agricultural agents and the 3S
emergency agricultural agents located
In the various counties. The emergen-
cy agents were assisted in their work
by temporary county committeeman
who helped to locate and distribute the
available supply Of labor, seed, etc.
The success of the effort has influ-
enced the federal government to pro-
vide funds from which most liberal
offers can be made to the unorganiZed
counties to employ county agricultural
agents. A great many county boards
of supervisors have already appropri-
ated funds to cooperate with the gov
eminent in employing agents who.
