AID TO NATION
ARE AGREEING RAPIDLY TO PLANT
MORE IN ORDER TO FEED COUNTRY
DURING PROGRESS OF WAR.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Apr. 1S.-Be-
|~lievers in agricultural preparedness are
signing in large number throughout the
South a pledge binding the signer TO do his
part To increase the food supply of the
country in order to provide for the needs
of our army and our allies. The pledge
originated at the Memphis conferences
conducted by Carl Vrooman, the assistant
secretary of agriculture. Ii reads a. fol-
lows:
sIn view of the pressing military ncccs-
|sity of increasing the food production of
the south and the nation 30 as to release
food for our army and our allies in eur
common struggle against Prussian auto
cracy and militarism, j hereby pledge my
self to do my bit as follows:

"(Name) ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.
"(Address)
Reports from the south indicate that the
enthusiasm for the work is widespread and
that formal meetings and speeches are fol-
lowed by informal conferences among far
mers To settle on som one definite thing
to begin at once. That the south can pro-
duce much more food than it has been do
ing has been for some years a cardinal
principle among agricultural leaders. but
the war has brought this truth home to the
people. They are now determined TO pro-
duce not only enough food for their own
wants, but a surplus to aid in meeting the
situation,

WAR MEMORIAL FOR WORCESTER
Especial to The Herald.)

WORCESTER, Mass, April 1S.-Mas-
sachusetts men who responded to the call
to arms in 1898 are rallying here in force
for the annual department encampmcnt of
the United Spanish War veterans. The
encampment promises TO be a notable de-
monstration of patriotism. Already the
city Is aglow with the national colors. The
cncampment program will reach it, climax
in the unwilling of a magnificent memo
rial to the Worcester soldiers who died in
the Spanish American war.
The memorial, which fas been erected in
Armory square, i the work of Andrew
0'Connor. the Worcester sculptor. The
monument consists of an heroic figure
of bronze, IMPLYING the volunteer soldier
of 1898. The artists has cndcavored TO
make a new departure in this figure, ex-
pressing by it something of the spirit
which causes a young man to leave his
home. friends and work, in order to fight
for what he holds to be a just cause. re
turning TO his peaceful employment-an
example of the volunteer, animated by
purely patriotic motives.

W0MAN'S WORK Is

THOSE WHO BELIEVE THEY ARE EN-
Gagged IN REPETITION WORK WILL
FIND MANY SURPRISES.

LONDON, Apr. 1S.-Those who still cling
to the idea that the woman munition work
er IS a mere attendant upon a machine. en-
gagged in repetition work and incapable of
taking the place of the skilled artisan. are
being given a tangible proof that there are
many thousands of women mechanics in
this country doing delicate and difficult
work that. in time of peace. only the excep-
tional expert was thought capable Of doing.
This proof is being furnished by an exhi-
hilton that the ministry of munitions is Civ
ing.
Engineers agree that the making of n
rotary aircraft engine is about "a severe n
test as exists of skilled craftsmanship. Such
engines are being produced today by wom-

acy here is .0004 or an inch, and a notice
attached to the exhibit adds that 'in every
ease the operator sets and prinds her own

Even greater accuracy is achieved in the
various gauges that women workers are
making. There is on display one cylinder
gauge for a sixty pound shell. This gauge

There are few eases of repetition work.
most Of the exhibits being of pre- handi-
craft, very often of a kind that, before the
war, England had TO look for abroad. A
striking example is the optical section. As
far as lens making was a British industry
before the war, is was virtually a monop-
oily of a few French and German workmen
Imported specially into this country. Now
English women are turning out lenses and
prims of an angular accuracy of three
seconds or less that are said to challenge
the best work of France or Germany be-
fore the war.
Not only a few exceptional women have
attained this skill. but there i an army Of
them engaged in all thse kind of expert
work and earning high wages. And the
astonishing thing about il is that il has all

HONE: GARDENS
 UT FOOD C0oT

During the past three years of con tinually rising food prices, While con gressional committees ard grand jaries have been busying themselves from one end of the land to the other in the effort to place their fingers up the causes of the ever increasing advances in living costs. one of the possible rem edies has been at our very door said Marshall Humphrey Of the fhoenlx Seed and eed company yesterday
 When we consider that one of our main articles of getables-has risen in price from sixteen to sixty five per cent during the past few years we begin to realize the possibilities for economy which lie in the cultiya- ton of our. for the most part. unused back yard garden plots. It really takes only q very small space Of ground to grow enough vegetables to supply the average family. not alone for daily table use during the summer, but also fdr use during the winter months when prices go so high as to be almost pro- hibitive
 The importance of the back yard as garden has been emphasized in Prussia since the war. The cultiva- tion of every available spot of ground was made mandatory .,nd the increas- ed production thereby proved an inn portant factor in Germanys successful erdeavor to feed herself.
 The value of back yard gardening in this country was emphasized by the unique Pingree Potato Patch Plan.
 Tn brief, the plan was to utilize for gardening purposes, back yards vacant lots scattered about the city of Detroit and the large stretches, of unoccupied lands in the suburbs. Permission was obtained from the owners Of the land to allow men who were out of employ ment to turn this vacant property to cultivation and thereby accomplish a two-fold object-give the idle laborers something with which to busy them selves, and, at the same time, furnish them with a means of providing sub sistenee for their families
 The seed was supplied free by the committee in charge of the work. but the crops were planted cultivated and harvested by the laborers themSels- 6 and with remarkable results. In 1894 the first year of the experiment., about 450 acres in all were planted in this way, the crops harvested amounting to thousands of dollars in value. Close to a thousand families were thus pro- vided with provender to tide them over the winter. It was estimated that the potato crop alone averaged fifteen
