GROW BIJCKWHEAT

Washington, D. c., May 19-Buck-
wheat should be grown in larger
quantity this year in New York, Penn
slyvania, Ohio, Michigan, Wisconsin,
New England, and in the mountain
sections of Maryland, West Virginia,
Virginia, Kentucky, North Carolina,
and Tennessee, where ii Is known to
be Gcfc crop. 1t should be sown on
land where other crops have failed
and on old meadow and pasture lands
where the yields of hay and grass
promise to be small. This is the adj
vice given by tic United States De-
partment of Agriculture TO farmers
in all States named, but especially to
those in New York ard Pennsylvania,
where about two-thirds of the buck
wheat crop Of the country is now
grown. In the more northern States,
buckwhcat can be sown almost any
where without reference TO elevation,
but farther south it is best adapted
to the uplands and mountainous sec
tons.
Buckwheat should be sown on land
prepared as for corn. 1t is an ex-
cellent crop to sow where corn or
some other crop has been planted but
where stand has not been secured.
Best results are obtained where the
land is plowed early and is we'll pre-
pared, but good results can be OBJ
tanned by sowing Immediately after
blowing and narrowing.
Uses of Buckwheat
Buckwhcat is valuable rs a human
food. 1t is also an excellent feed for
poultry. The middlings remaining as
a by-product after milling are, on ac-
count of their high protein content,
, valuable feed for dairy cows. The
production of buckwheat will help TO
provide food in many districts this
,ear for local consumption and thus
lelp TO avoid the danger Of short
lge due to possible lack Of adequate
facilities.

CHIInREN,S WELFARE


For the last few years there has
been a widespread effort to reduce
infant mortality by building up the
health OF the child and removing from
its environment all conditions which
would tend TO produce sickness. Com
pagison Of the reports from places
where the work OF infant we fare
has been carried out and places where
little effort has been made TO save
infants show startling differences
for instance--St Petersburg and Mos
COW, rs per cent death rate of child
rem under one year of age (l9l0),
Dunedin, New Zealand (including sub
urban boroughs) in the same year
shows a death rate Of 79 per cent.
In list of United States cities Of
10000 to $4,000 population figures
vary from 2494 deaths of children
under one year of age TO every 1000
born TO 55 deaths TO the 1000 births.
In this list Burlington, Vermont shows
a death rate of ills per 1000 living
births. (year 1922
Montclair, N j., was included in this
list of cities of 10000 TO 10000 pop
ulation. A special study was made in
this city as to the cause of infant NOR
tally. The town is divided in five
wards. 1t was found that in Ward a
almost twice as many babies died in
1912 as in all the other wards COM
bined. A baby clinic was opened and
"follow-up" visits were made by the
nurse to the mothers in their homes.
The board of health gave careful at
tention to housing and sanitation. In
1918 the death rate Of the fourth ward
was lower than the rate Of the second
and third wards combined and in 1914
its rate was lower than that of the
entire town-due to the above men
toned efforts. In list Of the death
rate per 1000 births from several
countries we find Chile 191D the
highest with a death rate of 1872 and
New Zealand G912) the lowest with
a death rate of 81. United States
I910) showed death rate of 1874.
New Zealand showed death rate
in 1902 of S.3 in 1912 it was 81.
Dunedin, New Zealand (including sub
urbs) had death rate in 1902 of 8.9
and in 1912 of 1873. This steady de-
crease is said to be due to the work
of the Society for the Health Of Wo-
men and Children. This society
through lectures, correspondence,
articles and books spreads
knowledge regarding health, and also
sends nurses into the homes where
there are children to give mothers in
structions and practical demonstra-
ton as to the care of the child. All
classes of people are said to be inter
ested in this society, and to the spirit
of mutual helpfulness pervading every
community, in the interests of the
child, is largely due the success of
this great work.

Houston Conference Fails
of Results; Railroads Are

After attending a conference Of q
committee OF shippers and railroad
corporations at Houston. Tex. An
drew ". Reeves. traffic manager OF
the chamber Of commerce. has re-
turned TO Fl Paso. The meeting was
held for the purpose OF trying to
compromise the intra-clty switching
controversy. But owing 10 the fact
that the railroads did not have their
data completed the meeting was post
poned without any sefinite action be-
ing taken. Mr.. Reeves said.
Recently the railroads asked the
railroad commission Of Texas 10 elm
mate the intra-city switching clause.
This was protested by the shippers,
who announced that II it were elm
mated they would have TO pay
straight line haul rates. which IN
many instances would increase their
shipping expense zoo and 500 percent.
For instance. II manufacturing con-
cern was shipping a carload Of stuff
TO an FL PasO wholesaler the bill for
Eaulage under the elimination OF the
iutra-city clause would amount 20
over $50. Under the intra-city
switching clause IL now only amounts
20 about $3.50. Mr.. Reeves explained.
