Could Feed the World.

With its millions Of acres OF rich
farm land, the United States could
feed the world, but unless these farms
are planted and cultivated the great
est asset of the country Is lost j.
Hampton Baumgartner, of the Balti-
more and Ohio railroad, says a con
servation of labor is needed at once
to help improve agricultural condi-
tions, and that the Baltimore and
Ohio has devised a plan which II be-
Iieves will help relieve the situation
by throwing more men into the fields.
The idea is that business firms not
only should give vacations to en-
ployes, but restrict those vacations to
actual service in helping to increase
food production for the nation.
The boys too young to enlist or the
man who is exempt from compulsory
military service may be At in a thou
sand ways for farm work, thus per
mitting the city man not only to have
his vacation, but to contribute by
working on farms where farm labor Is
needed A list is being compiled Civ
ing the name OF each farmer on or
near the Baltimore and Ohio railroad,
the distance of his farm from the sta
ton, the number of acres devoted to
each crop, including cereals, forage
vegetables. and fruits; the amount OF
farm labor needed for the kind OF
work offered and the dates when need
ed, the rates OF pay a day with board
and lodging Any one who wants 70
get down to the soil may do so by
talking with the Baltimore and Ohio
and prospective farmers will get spe
cial railroad rates.

Advances 1 7-9.

NEW YORK, April 1.-THE stock

tive than In several days today, gains
of more than a point being made by
many of the war stocks and rails.

covery of Is at 1924, Bethlehem
Steel 'eB' stock was up IL, Wilson

United States Steel es to u.
Today's stock market was purely
nominal affair, price movements being
harrow and devoid of significance. Al
though quotations advanced rapidly
in the first hour from ! to points
and sentiment seemed somewhat more
cheerful in speculative quarters, little
is anticipated in the way of q definite
price swing pending the fiotation of
the large Government bonds and the
outcome of various taxation schemes.
The early advance was almost solely
the result OF covering operations by
shorts and after this activity, quota
tons reacted slightly and that market
became very dull.
In the early afternoon the list as a
whole averaged a fraction higher.
United States Steel climbed more than
a point at one time, but quickly slid
back and thereafter held just above
yesterday-closely level. Other steel
steel issues were generally firm. Cop
pers were dull and steady. The rail-
roads were in relatively good demand
and small advances were the rule in
this quarter.

Southern Railway improvements.

The Southern railway has been
making rapid strides in enlarging its
physical efficiency and its earning
power, and incidentally It Is bringing
the time nearer when the directors
will feel justified in restoring the pre-
ferred stock to the dividend column.
Final steps have been taken by which
the system will have a double track
line all the way from Washington to
Atlanta, 649 miles, thus completing
the plan inaugurated in 1902 to make
the road an up-to-date AFFAIR, both in
the interest OF the South and OF the
stockholders. How actively this work
has been pushed since 1914 is reflected
In AIT miles of double-track service,
with work on the remaining 172 miles
