LABOR SAVING DEVICES
FOR THE FARM HOME

inexpensive and Practical Appliances
That Simplify Home Management.
Labor may be iightened and time
saved in the farm home by the use Of
simple 1abor-saving devices, which Gun
be made with ali expenditure OF but
little time and money" says Miss
Alice s. Hickman Of the Extension
Division, Louisiana State University.
"The fireless cooker, iceless refrige-
rator, roller-tray wagon, and scrubbing
chariot are not unnecessary Injuries,
but are practical appliances for the
use and comfort of the home-rnaker.
These are but few Of the possfbili-
ties which may make home manage
rnent on the farm an interesting prob
lem instead of merely a daily round
Of tfresome and disheartening work.
Progressive farmers of today are
learning how to lessen labor for
themselves and decrease its cost. The
women are closely following this mod
ern idea. They cannot, however,
solve the ail-absorbing problem of
home management unless the houses
are equipped with the labor-saving
conveniences. They cannot work
without tools. When once they arc
awakened to their opportunities, how
ever, home management will Keep
pace with farm management and even
business management.

PREPARfN NOW
FALL PORK PRODUCTION
Most Grazing Crops For Hogs Are
Planted in sprlne-Hogs Make
Good Gains on Fall Crops.

Indications are that hogs will sell
for higher prices next winter than
ever before, and farmers who are pre-
pairing to reap advantage from the
high market prices should not over
look the value of fall grazing crops
In pork production. Most of these
crops are planted in the spring. Corn,
cowpeas, soy beans, velvet beans, pea
nuts and sweet potatoes are the prtn-
cipal fall grazing crops.
Fifty-seven hogs grazed on the Ex-
pertinent Station farm at Baton Rouge
last fall made gain Of 5,285 pounds,
or 92.7 pounds each, in seventy-five
days. Beginning September 81, when
the average weight was $50 pounds,
they were grazed for twenty days on
four acres Of corn and soy beans, sew
enteen days on four acres of corn and
peanuts. twenty-seven days on four
acres of sweet potatoes, and eleven
days on another four acres of corn and
soy beans. At the end of the grazing
period. December IL, they were ship
ped to a Texas market and brought
$10.10 per hundred-tbe top of the
market for the day. The loss by shrink
age en- route to market was excep-
tonally low, and the meat dressed
out In firm condition; indicating that
pork may be hardened after the hogs
have been partly finished-off on pea
nuts.
Full information on crops for hogs
Is contained in Circular No. 8, which
nay be obtained free by writing to

DEMONSTRATION METHODS
INCREASE CROP YIELDS
Agents Render Good Servlee-Diversl.
fication PractIeed-Much Improve.
Enent In Live Stock.

Louisiana farmers Who followed
demonstration methods In 1915 made
much larger crop yields per acre
than the average yields for the Ell.
tire state. They have put into prac.
tice improved farming methods that
will be OF lasting benefit, such as the
field selection OF seed and the ruta.
ton OF crops.
The farm demonstration agents
have been instrumental, also, Id
creating interest In the growing Of
the Smaller crop throughout the state,
such as lespedeza, the ciovers, vetch,
sorghum, cowpeas, soybeans, velvet
beans, peanuts, sweet potatoes, irish
potatoes, fruits and vegetables. They
have given instruction In soil inocu.
lation, terracing, preventing and
treating animal and plant diseases,
spraying orchards, and various other
practices that benefit the farmer.
Their influence has brought about
much improvement In the grade Of
livestock in the parishes where they
are employed; large numbers Of pure.
bred animals for breeding purposes
having been purchased by farmers
upon the agents recommendations.
Other activities Of the agents have
to do with the building Of dipping
vats and silos; encouraging the ust
Of improved farming implements; vas
cination and sanitation among live
stock; and finding markets for the
various farm priducts. ~
Louisiana now has forty.two white
demonstration agents employed IN
forty-three parishes, and four negro
agents working among people Of thsis
ezra race.

ONLY THE CATTLE TICK
TRANSMITS TEXAS FEVER
Ticks Found On Dogs, Rabbits, ETC.,
Are Harmless TO Cattle So Far as
Texas Fever Is Concerned.

| Are 1dTHiSSS Q SdLtIc 90 = az DC
Texas Fever Is Concerned.
Many people, it seems, still believe
that the methods employed IN tick
eradication work cannot prove sue
cessful for the reason that small ami
mails, such as rabbits, etc, which car
ry ticks, cannot be treated for these
parasites.
Such reasoning would be entirely
logical provided all ticks found on all
animals were the same kind OF ticks.
True, to the casual observer, all ticks
have striking similarity in appear
ance: but, as matter Of fact, there
are quite number of different varie-
ties of ticks, each one being peculiar
to certain animals, but do not develop
on others. But so far as Texas fever
Is concerned, there is only one variety
Of tick in North America that will
transmit the germ Of this fever, and
that is the common cattle tick, which
develops only on cattle, horses and
mules. The other ticks which are
found on dogs, rabbits, and other ami
mails, while they ali belong to the
tick family, do not affect cattle to
any extent, and have no connection
whatever with Texas fever; nor are
they considered at all in the cam.
paign Of tick eradication.
The confusion, or rniscoriception,
with regard to the possibility Of tick
eradication, seems to have arisen from
the idea, therefore, that all ticks seen
on all kinds of animals, are one and
the same kind Of ticks, which, fortu.
nately, is not the case. If it were
80, complete tick eradication, would,
indeed, be hopeless undertaking.
It should be understood, therefore,
that the common cattle tick seen oa
cattle, and which natures only on
cattle, horses and mules, is the only
variety that transmits the germ Of the
fever, and the only tick that the au-
thorities are endeavoring to extern1i- /
nate; the others being harmless to
cattle, so far as tick fever is concern
ed And seasons regular dipping,
at intervals of IA days, should, In most
cases, eradicate this tick entirely
from parish or section.
Let us get busy this spring and see
how many parishes we can clean up
by the end of the coming season, as
Delay only adds to the cost of the
work.

tional guard with that rank, will be
the first Washingtonian to reach
France as a soldier of the United
States expeditionary force. General
Drain will 60 to France wiz the first
troops as major Of ordnance.
General Drain is we'll known in
Olympia, Mrs. Drain being the
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas
Marsland of Black Lake. A year
ago Mrs. Drain and five children
spent the winter in Olympia and the
family has many friends here.
Washington advices show that
Drain was to go with the first men
that sailed and also that he is the
first national guardsman from this
state to 60 to the front. The assign
ment of Major Drain to General
Pershing's force is a recognition of
the Washington national guard, for
when he received his commission in
the regular army, Drain still held
the rank of brigadier general, re-
tired, in the Washington guard and
was subject to orders from the COM
mander-in-chief Of the guard Of this
state.
He was one of the representatives
of the Washington guard at the New
York meeting this spring. AS adju-
tant general of the Washington ma
tional guard he was responsible for
the reorganization, 1901 to 1907,
and many of the highest officers in
the regiment that now is in the serv-
ice served with him.
General Drain, who asked at the
time war was declared for active
service in the line, was made major
in the ordnance department, instead,
though he qualified for line duty as
well. Shortly after the expedition
airy force was decided upon, General
Drain was made an ordnance officer
and assigned to the first contingent
to leave for active duty in France.

LISTER TELLS PLANS FOR
STATE DEFENSE COUNCIL
Governor to Appoint Committee to
Organize Washington's Industries
for War.

The plan of operation upon which
he will appoint a state council for
defense to handle emergency prob
lens due to war demands that can
not be dealt with through regular
processes, was outlined to a delega-
ton of business men by Governor
Lister last Saturday.
He told them he planned to name
a council of either nine or eleven
members representing the main pro-
ductive and business interests Of the
state, and this body will be enlarged
as needed through the addition of
committees appointed for specific
purposes. Food production. manu-
featuring and transportation will be
the chief concern Of the council, ship
building leading the manufacturing
list
Following the plan adopted by the
national administration in dealing
with war problems that cannot be
handled through ordinary official
agencies, the state council will join
with the governor in exerting every
possible influence in coordinating
and bringing to their highest degree
of efficiency the means of production
upon which the nation must lean in
the prevailing emergency.
Those who attended the conference
we're: A. ]. Rhodes, president, and
Gordon c. Corbaley, secretary of the
Seattle Chamber of Commerce.: Judge
Thomas Burke and r. A. Ballinger of
Seattle; c. j. Lord, president of the
Capital National bank of this city.

Hayes & Hayes bank of Aberdeen.

sons in the naval service from dis
cussing, even among themselves, or
with the members of their families,
any question relating to the DISPOSE
ton, movements or proposed move
ments of naval or military forces.
The department acted only after
agents of the department of justice
had reported that Information, the
nature of which was not disclosed,
had leaked thru to Germany.
Due to Inadvertence.
Mr.. Daniels said he had hesitated
to issue the order for many days, not
desiring to hamper unduly officers
and others in the service, but that
his military advisors had been very
urgent. There was no thought, he
said, that any person in the navy had
revealed the plans of the department
except thru inadvertence.
The purposes OF the department are
fully explained in the order which
Secretary Daniels was careful to ex-
plain did not refer to the press and
was in no sense an effort to prevent
the newspapers from getting news.
Widely circulated false reports of
naval battles and disaster to Ameri-
can and entente forces have reached
the point where Secretary Daniels
has concluded that they are the result
of an organized conspiracy to alarm
and distress the American people. SO
he also issued this statement:
Rumors UnfOunded.
"The country is being poisoned by
rumors of battle and disaster that are
without the slightest foundation.
Among the most persistent of these
false reports is one that naval en-
gasement has taken place between
the German fleets and the combined
fleets of England and the United
States and that in this battle sixty
En- lish and American ships were
sunk or disabled, two Of the number
being the Pennsylvania and the Texas
mo such engagement has taken
place. The American Feet has not
been in action. No ship has been lost
The declared policy Of the navy de-
partment is one of absolute openness
II disaster comes no effort will be
made to minimize it. The people Of
the United States are asked to trus,
in this pledge and to aid in stamping
out this campaign of rumor that II
so plainly the product of disloyalty.'

BASIS
ARMY's next step
PRESIDENT TO PROCLAIM REGU.
LATIONS WHEN REGISTRA. +
TON is TABULATED.

What is the next move to be made
in raising the first instalment of the
army provided by the selective draft
law?
AS soon as the results of last
weeks registration have been tabu-
lated President Wilson will issue a
proclamation defining the scope and
extent of the exemptions to be made
from military service.
1t is believed that the president
has already prepared his proclama-
ton and that it will be made public
as soon as tho registration figures
have been completed. Following its
appearance. the next step will be the
countrywide apportionment, fixing
the number Of men to be taken for
military service from those regis
tered.
Next will come the apportionment
by states according to population
and the division of the state quotas
by county and city election districts.
Meanwhile the work of appointing
local and review" exemption boards
will begin.
The boards of review will be men
of integrity appointed by the presi-
dent for larger divisions of the state.
The local boards will exempt for
agriculture and industries and these
will be approved by the board Of re-
view. Other exemptions will be by
the board of review through appeal
from local boards.
Some system of lottery drawing
believed to be the most efiicacious
for the purpose will be used to draw

STATES REGISTRATION
FAR BELOW ESTIMATE
BUT, GOVERNMENTS FIGURES
MUCH TOO HIGH, IS HART'S
OPINION.

In completing his work as super
visor of war service registration in
Washington, Lieut.. Gov. L. F. Hart
condensed the detailed results from
the registration districts and COM
pared this tabulation with the gov
eminent estimate Of registration ex-
pected from each point. The total
registration was 10S,613 or 104,011
less than the government estimate.
In but two instances was this esti-
mate equalled and in both these
cases it was exceeded. Clallam county
registered 1909 men of the required
age limit, where the government fig
urcd on 957, and Wahkiakum county
reported 493 where the estimate call
ed for 49,
Big Logging Camps.
Both counties are great timber
counties, where logging is leading
industry. Because of I. w. w. activity
among the lumber camps in the past
few years 1t was expected that loggers
would be most reluctant to register
but the returns seem to indicate that
they were most willing.
The fact that the state as a whole
fell approximately 100000 below the
census bureau estimate of the num-
Der that should have registered, is
not accepted by Hart as indicating
that Washington in any sense resist
ed the draft. That the bureau es-
innate was far too high is practically
conceded in correspondence with the
federal department on the subject.
Hart Gives His Views.
Prior to Registration Day the lieu
tenant governor claimed an excess
estimate of $4,000, himself estimat-
ing that approximately 10000
would be registered in this state.
Also. in his correspondence with the
government he pointed out that when
the registration was taken on June
three or four thousand of the young
men of the state were absent on their
annual work or adventure pilgrim
age to Alaska, that five or six thous-
and others were exempt through en-
J listment in various branches Of fed
eral service and probably 1000 more
were away from home in employ OF
the fisheries.
Here in Thurston county 1.742
we're registered while the government
estimate was 2,919, and the local
authorities declare there were not a
dozen CUTTERS" in the whole county.
The local situation is taken as charac-
teristic of the general situation in
the state. Incidentally, about half
of those registered in this county
put in claims for exemption. and
this was the general average through
out the state.
