POULTRY FOR PREPARE DNEss.
More Fowls and Better Care Great De-
fsnss Against Food Shortage.

Increased attention given to the
poultry industry will prove one Of the
country's greatest dcfenses against
food shortage" declare the poultry
men at Iowa State College. Poultry
can be kept profitabiy on practically
every farm and on many town and
city lots" they say. They can be more
quickly increased than any other Inn
portant class Of farm animals without
increased use Of valuable foodstuffs,
for they utilize wastes.
Adding 100 hens to every farm flock
would involve no extra labor and
would be a profitable move for every
farmer. Then the adoption Of better
poultry practices with focks on hand
viii tremendously increase the coun-
try's supply OF poultry products and
the profits OF those who adopt them.
Early Matched stock will undoubtedly
lay more eggs next winter than late
Matched, for we'll rsatnred pullets
make the best layers. These eEgs Will
probably bring the hishest price ever
realised But good feed and care will
do much 70 overcome the handicap OF

POTATOES ON RIGHT OF WAY.
lnterurban Railroad to Utilize Waste
Land For Food Crop.

The c. d. and NJ interurban rail-
way officials have inaugurated a plan
to assist in the nationwide conser-
walton of food resources. employees
of the road are given the use OF
ground for nominal rental for rails

adjoining the tracks from Musca :
tine to Clinton. a stretch approximate
ly seventy miles. will all be utilized
except where the tracks pass thru
towns or where the land is such that
crops can not be raised.
The ground extends from twenty to
fifty feet on each side of the tracks
and much of it Is now under cultiva-
tion. The main crop ts potatoes ana
Jonn G. Huntoon, general manager OF
the road stated that he estimated
the yield OF potatoes would be near
Is 1000 husbtls this year.
That will do much to help the fam
iiies Of the men employed by the
railroad and ii is all being done by
using land which heretofore had not
beer considered worth cuitivating. All
over the country food conservation and
the maximum efficiency from every
available inch of ground is now being
URGED. The government Is urging this
as a patriotic duty.
The plan lnauguTated by the rail-
way company is adoption OF this plan
in, the broadest sense. Land which
heretofore has not been used Will pc
made to produce this year. 1t Is
plan which II used more generally
