UNCLE SAM PUTS HIS
o. X. ON BIG STATE FAIR

Several weeks ago Uncle Sam sum
moned all the Secretaries of the State
Fairs in the Union to Washington
with a view of asking these Secre-
taries to turn over their State Fair
grounds to the Government for troop
concentration camps. After Uncle
Sam had a good long talk with the
State Fair Secretaries he concluded
that the State Fairs, and particularly
the Missouri State Fair, which orig
mated this food training camp idea
away back in May, was doing so much
with their educational features to help
Uncle Sam win that he would get
other grounds for his troop training
camps and have the State Fairs go on
with their educational work.
Then Uncle Sam got to thinking
that maybe he might help the State
Fairs to help him win and he has de-
cided to send to the Missouri State
Fair, September % to 20, at Sedalia,
the biggest collection of war curios,
ordnance, fighting materials, aero
planes, anti-air craft guns, and all
weapons and engines of war that has
ever DeGl SOIICI lbSCSIlGls 1Hlo w III
be the biggest thing ever seen at
the Missouri State Fair grounds or
any other State Fair grounds. 1t is
going to take an acre of floor space
to house these exhibits that Uncle
Sam is sending out for his nephews
and nieces in Missouri to look over
and pass on.
Then, too, Uncle Sam is delighted
at the showing that the Missouri
State Fair is going to make in the
Farm Machinery section this fall, and
he has put his 0. X. on this feature
of helping win the war. The tractor
and improved farm machinery means
more food, and incidentally Uncle
Sam is sending a big army rationing
exhibit out to Sedalia this fall, just
to show how the big army that we are
sending to France to fight for liberty
and the equality of all men, is fed.
The Red Cross is going to make a
big showing, too.

COMB HONEY is WASTEFUL

Honey may be used as a substitute
for sugar. Honey offers a potential
supply of sweets which may be util-
lied to relieve the shortage of sugar.
H. B. Parks, biologist to Palmer Col
lege and at present a graduate stu
dent in the University of Missouri
College of Agriculture, suggests that
consumers demand extracted honey;
first, because the wax of comb honey
is valueless for food; second, because
the bees when producing comb use
ten times the weight of the wax in
honey; third, the section in which
comb honey is bought is valueless as
food yet it is purchased at foodstuff
prices. The sections are made from
linn or Eastwood which is one of the
heaviest nectar producing plants. By
demanding extracted honey the linn
or Eastwood trees from which the sec
tons are made may be preserved for

honey production.
By demanding extracted honey con.
sumers obtain clean honey, honest
weight and full food value. The ex-
tracing combs can be replaced in the
hives after the honey has been re-
moved and the bees can refill them
without making additional comb. In
this way the bees may be kept busy
producing honey instead of spending
a great deal of their time and using
a great deal of honey for food in
building new comb.

sumer saves human food. which would

SAVE BY KEEPING
GOOD ROADS GOOD

The maintenance Of roads is a sub
ject that may appear to be overwork-
ed, but in spite of all that has been
said and written, we do not yet ap-
preciate tn value of properly or
ganized system of road maintenance.
The spirit of the times is to prevent
evils, whether in the political, social
or economic fields, rather than to all
low them to develop and then attempt
a cure, and in no field of endeavor
can it be more effective than in road
maintenance.
There are, at the present time in
Missouri hundreds of miles Of road,
built at cost of from four to twelve
thousand dollars a mile, upon which
not single dollar mas been expended
for maintenance. The result is that
these roads are now practically
ruined, and the original cost must
again be expended for complete re-
construction. How much better to
have discussed a small amount year
by year in judicious maintenance to
keep the road surface practically in
tact! That this can be done has been
proved again and again,
Farmers paint farm buildings to in
crease their length of life; they keep
their fences in repair to insure ser
vice; they house costly machinery to
prevent deterioration and decay. Sim
liar measures must be taken to, safe
guard the dollars they pour into road
construction. - Z. j. McCaustland,
Dean of Missouri University Engineer
ing Faculty.

WAR ON BAD FEEDS

During the first 80 days of the new
law governing the labelling and sale
of live stock and poultry feeds 453
brands or kinds were registered, &C
cording to a report just issued by
Secretary Mayes of the State Board
of Agriculture.
Live stock feeders and poultrymen
are urged to watch for and demand a
complete label on every sack or pack
feeding value and also specific name
of each ingredient. The war on bad
feeds and unlabeled products has be-
gun. This new law does not add any
cost to feed and is not contrary to the
interests of the honest manufacturer,

RULING ON FEED LAW

Attorney General Frank W. Meal
lister has issued an opinion on the
new feed law permitting the choice of
printed tag or printed label on bag or
package, and requiring the naming
of each specific ingredient by common
name, stating kind of screenings, and
definite name of each sort of seed or
grain used in the mixture. Millions
of dollars worth of mixed feeds sold
annually come under this act regulat-
ing the sale of live stock and poultry
feeds.

The Committee on Marketing of
the Missouri Council of Defense held

practically cooperate in better meth
DDS of marketing farm products. The
State Committee on Production met
at the same time and place, The
Grange, Farmers Union, State Farm
ers' Association, Missouri Grain Deal
ers' Association, Millers' Federation,
railroad officials, State and Federal
agricultural officials met together and
discussed methods of cooperation in
war time.

CAN GREEN APPLE
SAUCE FOR WINTER

Do you ever banker in the winter
for the nice fresh green apple sauce
which we connect with summer days?
And doesn't the thought of green APP
pie pie fairly make your mouth wa
ter? Then just think of the green
apples that are allowed to go TO waste
in the summer Miss Louise Stanley
of the home economics department of
Missouri University tells how to save
this waste:
If it is "apple sass" that you want,
make it just as if you were going to
serve it Immediately as you probably
shall some of it, but any that is left
over put in jar and sterilize for 20
minutes; you will be glad that you did.
II will fill an empty corner in many
a meal and furnish a flavor that all
will appreciate.
The apples for pie are easier to put
up. The apples which fall off green
are usually specked. Peel them, re-
move the cores and slice into jar
instead of into pie. Add one-fourth
cup of sugar to each quart, or leave
out the sugar entirely until the pie
is to be made. Fill the jars as full as
possible, adjust the covers loosely
and sterilize for twenty minutes. The
fruit will probably shrink during the
process, so open the cans and use the
contents of some to fill up the others.
Close, adjust the rubbers and steril-
ize again for ten minutes. Seal
while boiling hot.
Remember now, after the windy
nights, to go out and clear up the ap-
pies and save at least some Of them
for dish of sauce or green apple pie
in the winter time when the fresh fla
vor will add zest to the diet.

WARS cannot be fought without
money. The very first step in this
war, the most effective step that we
could take, is to provide money for
its conduct. y
"This money is not going to be tax
en- out of the country. All of this
financing is a matter of shifting cred
it's; it is not going to involve any loss
of gold; it is not going to involve any
loss of values. These moneys are 60
ing to be paid back into circulation,
paid back properly into the channels
Of business and circulated and re-cir-
culated to take care of the abnormal
prosperity of the country, a pros
perity that will be greater in the
present year than ever before in our

speech at Des Moines in June.

WATCH THAT WHEAT

"Watch That Machine" is a slogan
akin to Get the Money" since two
dollar wheat is a practical certainty
Watch the thrcshing machine and the
straw stack as never before. 1t may
pay to rake many field and thresh
the leavings, this year.
In a letter to Secretary Mayes Of
the Missouri State Board of Agricul
ture, A. G. Hauser of Kiowa, Kan
sas, tells of raking 140 acres Of
wheat stubble and getting 146 bushels
He also found too much wheat in the
strawstack, and he Refreshed that
straw and at a total cost of a dollar
per bushel, getting 131 bushels Of
wheat.

STATE TO AID ON DIRT ROADS

Earth or dirt roads comprising a
part of the State system may be
graded with State and county funds,
without submitting elaborate and ex-
pensive surveys to the Federal de-
partment, and a second project for
hard-surfacing the road with State and
Federal aid may be submitted later.
The State Highway Department, at
a meeting held in Jefferson City on
July goth, announced this plan of aid
ing counties in the Substantial i'm
provement" of earth roads, prepare
tory to hard-surfacing at some future
time.

NEW AUTOMOBILE LAW

The new Missouri motor vehicle law,
enacted by the 49th General Assem-
bly,, does not become operative until
January 31st, 1918. This law will
materially increase revenues avail
able for the construction of State
roads, and makes radical changes in
the traffic regulations now in force.
Two license plates will be required,
and the use of glazing headlights and
the noisy "cut-out" will be prohibited.

GOT THE DIME BACK

A hungry traveller put his head out
of car window as his train pulled
up at small station and said to a
boy:
Here, boy, take this dime and ct
me sandwich, will you? And by
tn way, here's another dime. Get a
sandwich for yourself, too"
Thanks, boss"-and the boy dart
ed away.
He returned muncing a big fine
sandwich just as the train was start
ing off. He ran to the traveller, hand
ed him dime, and said:

only had one sandwich left"
