PLAN FOR FARMERS EFFORT
DURING COMING SEASON

Food and Feed should be grown to
as nearly normal crop as possible,
in the aggregate, which means div
ersity of the crop production and not
specialization in few crops. In 9TH
err words farmers should grow the
same staple crops that they have al
ways grown but with more efficiency,
that production may be brought as
near the maximum as possible.
We offer the following as a sugges-
tive plan for the agricultural effort In
the State for the coming crop sea-
son.
|, City people should make their
back yard and vacant lot gardens pro-
duce rs many vegetables as possible.
2. The general farmer should not
this year plunge into the growing Of
truck crops, but should do his utmost
In producing staples. The truck farm
or should work to his maximum In
the production OF vegetables for the
market garden supply and the gener-
al farmer should see 10 II that staple
foods and feeds tcorn, wheat, oats
hay, COY beans. COW psaa, and I've
The public ledger. [volume] (Maysville, Ky.) 1913-1968, 1917-04-19

stock are produced more and better
than ever before.
3. Every farmer should have a
good home garden which shall pro-
duce vegetables for home use, for
storage and canning for winters use,
and surplus to be used in any
emergency that may arise.
4. Special attention should be
given to the farm poultry yard. The
Aock should be housed better next
winter, so that hens may produce eggs
on less feed than ever before. A lit
tie bit of housing will mean great
many more eggs. If possible add a
few more pullets to the flock to be
kept over winter. Produce infertile
eggs during the summer months. Pre-
serve some in water glass for use
next winter.
5. The winter wheat crop is going
to be a short one. Every field that
can be harvested at near an even
break in cost of production should be
allowed to stand till harvest At the
present price a field that promises
even a small yield per acre should be
left for the reaper. Other fields
should be put in some other food or
feed crop that will mature within the
season; such as corn, soy beans, buck
wheat, COW peas, millet, sorghum, etc.
We recommend especially corn, buck
wheat, soy beans, or COW peas Ev-
cry farmer should grow a few acres
of soy beans for seed and for food.

The U. $. Senate Passes War Bonds

HistOry-VOte Unani-
nous.

Washington, April 1.-THE war fl
nance bill, providing for the issuance
of $7,OOO,OO0,O0O in securities-na-
tons history-was passed unani-
mously tonight by the Senate.
After seven hours of discussion, the
administrations measure which pass
ed the House last Saturday and which
provides for a loan to the Allies of
$4,000, 100000, was approved by the
Senate with few changes in record
time. These amendments may neces-
state conference, or the Senate
changes may be accepted by the
House
In either event the executive branch
of the government conducting the war
with Germany will, within a few
hours, have authorization FOR the
great war chest at its disposition. To
expedite action, the Senate tonight APP
pointed conferees to act if the House
should not, contrary to expectations,
accept the Senate changes.
Of the eighty-four Senators present
tonight, everyone including all those
who voted against war, expect Sena-
tor Lane, or Oregon, who was absent
because of illness, recorded them
selves in favor of providing the funds
to presucte hostilities. Nearly all of
the twelve absentees were i'll.
That, in the inability of the nation
to supply men at once for the fight
ing line, money should be Americas
immediate contribution to her allies,
was the dominant thought expressed
during the debate. Few senators par
, ticipated in the discussion, which was
totally devoid of partisan expression
Every senator speaking announced
staunch intention to aid the govern
ment in prosecuting the war to speedy
conclusion. Only two, Senators b.
rah and Cummins, declared OPPOSE
ton to the proposed allied loan. A
few favored raising a larger proper
ton by taxation of the present sencr-
alton and less upon bonds.
Amendments adopted by the SEN
ate include this provision:
Limiting deposit of proceeds from
the bonds in banks to the amount de-
scribed by the bank and their deposit
tors; permitting deposit of proceeds
in state banks and trust companies
as well as federal reserve banks; BRO
viding for exchange of subscribers of
the issues authorized for bonds sub
sequently issued, during the war; at
higher interest rate; requiring the
Secretary of the Treasury to report
expenditure Of the bond proceeds De-
cember 81 and annually thereafter !;
and exempting the $2,000,O0O,000 of
treasury Indebtedness certificates au-
thorized from all taxation, except es-
tate and inheritance levies.

TINE Is THE TEST
The Testimony of Maysyille People
Stands tho Test.

The test of time is what tells the
tale. The public soon finds out when
Misrepresentation are made, and
merit alone will stand the test of
time.
Maysville people appreciate merit,
and many months ago local citizens
publicly endorsed Doan's Kidney Pills;
they do SO still. Would a citizen make
the statement which follows unless
convinced that the article was Just as
represented? Below is testimony such
as the sufferer from kidney ills is look
ing for.
Fred Dresel, tailor and justice of the
peace, 1888 e. Second St., Maysville,
says II was troubled by inflammation
OF the bladder and annoyance from
my kidneys. The kidney secretions
burned In passage and often were re-
tarded. had severe pains across the
small Of my back which greatly inter-
fered with my work. Doan's Kidney
Pills, which l got at Wood G Sons
Drug Store, gave me prompt relief"
MIR. Dresel gave the above statement
on February 6, 1908, and on November
IA, 1916, he added: II have had the
same faith in Doan's Kidney Pills to-
day as ever, for l haven't had any trou-
BILE with my kidneys since last recon-
mended them"
Mr.. Dresel is only one of many Mays
vile people who have gratefully en-
dorsed Doan's Kidney Pills. If your
back aches-if your kidneys bother
you, don't simply ask for a kidney rem
edy--ask distinctly for DOAN'S KID

tural Department
WHEREAS: These United States,

part in support of our Government
with determination to actively and ag-
gressively enter into war to enforce
