bonds by the United States govern
ment will undoubtedly have an inn
portant bearing on the war If the
people respond generally and liberal
ly in subscribing for the bonds it will
tend to have a depressing effect up
on Germany If the sale drags and
the bonds are purchased by the banks

Deep Soil For Corn.

One Of the most important fac
tors in the production Of crops, and
one that determines, to a very large
degree, whether the final yield is
large or small, Is a thoroughly and
deeply prepared seed bed. A well
prepared seed bed is required to be
in order that plenty Of moisture
and plant food may be obtained
for the growing crop.
Plants send their roots to a much
greater depth when unrestricted
and attain much greater length
than Is sometimes thought. Unless
the soil is broken deeply, corn roots
are prevented from penetrating as
deeply as they should 60 in order
to Get moisture and food. While
there Is an abundance Of rain at
present, we are apt to see corn
fields wilt for the want Of water be-
fore the close Of the summer. The
farmer who prepares bis seed bed
well and who pulverizes every clod
to the size Of grain Of corn will be
the one whose corn will stand the
drought best.

EGGS intended for Matching pur-
poses should be gathered at least
twice day, should be handled
carefully to avoid cracking, should
be turned daily, and should be kept
in a cool, dry room, preferably In
the dark, where the flies will not
have access to them. Only normal
eggs should be set. Normal eggs
are eggs Of uniform size, with a
smooth surface. If setting eggs
from the brown-shell variety, it
is natural to believe that the more
uniform the color Of the egg set, the
more uniform will be the color of
the eggs produced by the pullets
hatched from these eggs. When
setting eggs from the white-ege va.
riety, one should use only chalk
white eggs
EgsIs may be kept two or three
weeks before setting, If turned
daily and kept under proper care.

Preparing For tho slIo.

The common advice for growing
silage crops is to plant the corn un-
usually thick along with small
amount Of sorghum. 1t Is impossi-
bic to determine definitely the acre
age which will be necessary to OBJ
tain a given amount Of silaee, If
the season is unfavorable 1t will
take a larger area; II very favorable
1t will take smaller area. There
is danger, in order to make sure Of
a sufficient amout to fiji the silo,
that there will be suplus in a fa-
vorable season. If the corn Is
planted very thick Il is difficult to
make use Of the surplus In any 9TH
er way than for silage. Therefore,
be sure to plant the silage combine
ton of corn and sorghum in small
enough amounts that 1t can be used
for filling the silo. Plant a part Of
the silaee field in corn alone at
such rate Of seeding that 1t will
produce either grain or silage.

Something very analogous to tins,

going to begin to save. but this habit
of economy and saving is going to

The habit Of saving formed now
has a deeper incentive than ordi-

now from patriotism, saving not
alone for ourselves, but for our

MUST HAVE MORE MEAT
Why Backwards and Farms Must
Raise More Chickens, Ducks
and Geese

Because Of the war the meat re-
serves of the world are diminished
The herds Of live stock in Europe
have been reduced by slaughter
made necessary TO feed the armies.
Our own meat production in the
years just preceding the war was
barely sufficient for our own uses.
And yet we are now called upon not
only 10 feed ourselves but to feed
Europe to large extent. And we
must do it if we are to win the war.
Where will We get the meat? YOu
ran do your part. on your farm and
IN your backyard by producing more
poultry - increasing the supply OF
eggs and chickens, geese and ducks.
Our total number of beef animals
can not be increased with sufficient
Guickness. Several years are re-
quired To build up cattle herds. Hogs
can he increased considerably in
year They can be increased faster
than an other meat animal. But
poultry can be doubled in a year.
II offers the fastest and cheapest
possible source Of meat increase.
That is why il is so important that
every one help in poultry production
next year.
The more poultry and eggs we
produce the more poultry and eggs
we will eat. The more Of that food
we eat the less beef or pork we will
need or want - leaving that much
more to 90 to Europe. Thus we do
indirectly the thing we cant do di-
rectly, BY poultry production we
get quickly more meat TO win the
war. although we cannot increase in
that time the number OF our meat
animals.
b Get some good hens. You will
help win the war. You will reduce
your own cost Of living. You will
turn waste into food. Get some good
hens.

THRIFT STAMPS

II j. pointed out by the Treasury
Department that Thrift Stamps are
not made rcdcemahlc in cash for
the reason that these stamps are
simply intended as n convenient
method for the small savers to ac-
cumulate enough TO purchase War
Savings Stamps, which bear interest
and are redeemable in cash.
I'm addition. To provide for rcdemp-
ton for these Thrift Stamps would
involve such an amount Of detailed
accounting and labor and expense
as TO impair the practicability OF
their use. In fact, they would be
more trouble and expense to the
Government possibly than they ar,
worth.
