LAKE OFFICIAL
 IN CONFERENCE
 AT WASHINGTON
Local Submarine Works Has Seven U. $. Contracts and
 May Rush Jobs.
SIX UNDERSEA BOATS UNDER CONSTRUCTION
N-5 Expected to Be Launch ed March 22-L-5 Is Be-
 ing Tested.

Richard H. M. Robinson, manag- ing director of the Lake Torpedo Boat Go. has been in Washington since yesterday attending the confer ence which Secretary Daniels has called. The Lake company has con- tracts to build seven submarines for the government. Six of them are on the ways being completed. The sev- enth, the L-5, has been launched and is now having preliminary tests be- fore her acceptance by the United States government. The N-4 was launched last September, and the N-5 is nearly completed and it is ex- pected will be launched on March 22.
 None of the officials at the Lake factory and shipyards would discuss the chances of the government taking over the works in case no arrange ments can be made to rush the work there. No word has been received from Director Robinson and he is not expected to return home until to- morrow. As to whether or not extra workmen could be employed and the submarines finished ahead of con- tract time none of the officials at the Lake plant would venture an opin- ion today.
 Washington, March 7-Virtually every ship building company holding navy contracts was represented to- day when Secretary Daniels resumed his conference with the builders in the campaign to speed up navy con- struction. Each company was pre- pared to present a detailed account of what was needed to hasten the work it is now doing, both in men and money.
 Contracts for new ships will en- body new provisions to cover the speeding up process. The govern ment will assume additional expense, under the emergency fund for the purpose of more than $10O,O00,000 provided by congress. No effort to invoke authority to take over private plants will be made until 1t has been esta blished that nationalyization of fhes ssl1i psbui1ding industry is necessary to avcad delay.

BILL PROVIDES FOR EXTENSION
WORK IN COLORADO
Extension Service of Agricultural Col
lege Will Receive S51 200 for Ad-
ditional County Agents and
Women Demonstrators

The emergency food bill which has
just been signed by President Wilson
provides further assistance for the ex-
tension service of the Agricultural
College at Fort Collins by appropriat-
ing S51 200 to be used in placing addi-
tional county agricultural agents in
the field and women home demonstra-
tion agents in both the rural districts
and cities of more than 10000 inhab-
itnats. Other cities and towns will be
served by the rural county women
agents.
This fund is available at once and a
campaign has already been laid out by
the college extension service to meet
the provisions of the bill in the state
of Colorado. 1t will enable the SER
vice to place ten or twelve more coun-
ty agricultural agents and a number
Of women in the field just as soon as
suitable candidates for this work can
be secured.
The work will be undertaken with
view of making it permanent al
though the present fund is only for the
war period or until one year after
peace is declared at the option Of the
President of the U. S.
A portion of the funds will be used
to increase the efficiency and extend
the work Of the boys and girls clubs
This work has grown very rapidly
during the past few years, in fact
more rapidly than there were funds
to meet its needs. The boys and girl.
are becoming important factors in the
increase of food products beyond th'
imagination of many who were con
nected with the movement during iti
early history

becoming apparent. Congress has
proposed to fix a minimum of 81 d
bushel for wheat, which shall be ef
fective for the 1915 crop. Some of
the producers of winter wheat, which
is now being thrcshed, are already ex
pressing dissatisfaction, and instead
Of sending grain to market and tax
ing the current price, which is con
siderably above the proposed official
minimum, they are storing 1t in tho
hopes of still higher prices. The OBJ
jcct of guaranteeing he wheat farmer
not less than 81 a bushel for next
years crop was to assure an increased
acreage being planted, which would
supply our own and the needs Of our
Allies, and one object Of the rural
credits law was to aid the agricultural
with cheap money for expanding in
business.
But what about producers of pota-
toes and beans, which rank next to
wheat as food crops? Through the
suggestion of the department of ag-
riculture and the urgings of Herbert
c. Hoover, the acreage planted this
year to beans and potatoes was prob
ably the largest in the history Of the
country. A further stimulus was the
abnormally high price commanded by
these products last spring. The 10
year average price Of beans has rang
ed from 81 to S2.25 a bushel. Last
fall the price advanced to $3.50, and
last spring this abnormal figure was
nearly doubled. In some instances
New York farmers are said to have
paid as high as S12 bushcl for seed
beans in order to increase their acre
age. Similar conditions surround thS
potato market. At primary shipping
points there has already been a de-
cided fall in the price Of early pota-
toes Prospects for the late plcnted
crop are for a bumper yield, and ac-
cording to one authority in the trade
the price is likely to decline to sc
cents a bushel on the farm, unless the
crop should be blighted by excessive
rains.
Growers of beans and potatoes are
now contending that unless the gov
ernment fixes minimum price for
their products, as is proposed for the
wheat farmer, a decided shrinkage
will occur in the area planted next
year. If these growers are safeguard
ed against loss, probably there will be
others who will urge the necessity for
relief along the same line. The diff
culties inseparable from interference
with the free working of the natural
law of supply and demand arc OBJ
vious. The more general the inter
ference, the greater the disturbance
in returning to pre-war conditions af-
ter peace is restored.-Pittsburgh Ga

VETERINARIANS ARE IN De
MAND
u. $. Army Needs 2,OOO-Five Jobs
for Every Graduate-Future of
Profession Very Promising

Many calls for veterinarians to To-
cate in practice are coming to the Ag-
ricultural college, from county agents
commercial clubs, etc At the same
time there is a call for two thousand
veterinarians for the army. There
seems to be choice of about five
places for every graduate veterinar-
ian, with the increased value of live
stock, federal meat inspection, animal
disease investigation, food inspection
teaching and other lines Of activity.
The future of the veterinary profes-
sion certainly is propitious. The vet
erinarian is conservator of the live
stock industry and a sense of patriot
ism, aside from selfish motives will
no doubt be the final argument in
many instances that will influence
young men to enter college for a
course in veterinary medicine.-Geo.

scheme is not working very well. The
farmers gee in it some movement that
is not for their welfare and point to
the fact that the organizers are not
farmers by birth, breeding, intelli-
gence, inclination or inspiration. On
the contrary, so say these farmers,
they are merely paid organizers who
would be seeking to unionize the well
