FOOD SUPPLIES ON FARMS

Determining by a countrywide
canvass the approximate amount of
important farm products on farms of
the United States that is food or con-
vertible into food, is the part the Blu
reau of Crop Estimates of the United
States Department of Agriculture
will take in the national food survey
authorized by the food production
bill recently enacted. Thirty-five
thousand picked volunteers from its
corps of 10000 crop correspondents
will be asked TO take part in the farm
survey.
Each of the field representatives,
farmer himself and thoroughly ia
miliar with farm conditions in his
community will make a report of
food stocks, including meat animals
and crops on his farm and each of
these representatives will be supplied
with 10 extra schedules of inquiry
which he will distribute among his
neighbors, for reports upon their re-
spective farms. From the 3S5,000
reports thus obtained, the experts of
the bureau, knowing the total num-
Der of farms in the United States,
will make final estimates for the
farms of the country. 1t is believed
that this estimate, judging from the
accuracy of other records similarly
gathered, will be within a few per
cent of actual farm food stocks.
The farm survey will begin at once.
A second survey about November /,
similarly conducted, will cover the
fall haryests.
The bureau also will extend its
regular crop estima tes to crops not
reported heretofore and further en-
large its service by special inquiries

channel, the masses of the English
people a few years ago were pro-
verbally a spendthrift rather than a
saving race. But the great war has
wrought change.
In the year 1916 although pur-
chasing billions of dollars of war
bonds the small savings banks de-
positors in England increased their
deposits over $6O,O0O,OO0.
II was patriotism that started this
great change in the people of the
nation. The English people started
saving their money because they saw
that 1t meant saving England. But
thrift and economy begot thrift and
economy. They econom lied and saved
Tor their own sake as well as for
England's sake, Not only did they
save money, but they economical in
food, in fuel in dress. in Injuries.
More than one million English work
efs were purchasers, out of their saw
ings, in the second great war loan of
Great Britain, and eight million sub
scribed to their last war loan.
The question whether the civilian
population should economic and do
without certain things or the soldiers
and sailors be denied things neces-
sary for their effectiveness and safety
was answered in no uncertain or I'M
patriotic way by the masses of the
English people. They did their bit
in financing their country.
No American need fear that the
results of the American peoples sup
port of the Liberty Loan will fail to
maintain Americas traditional pa
triotism and power The more than
four million subscribers and the
more than billion over-subscription
to the first issue of the Liberty Loan
Bonds are eloquent testimony of the
American peoples loyalty to their
government and their willingness
and ability to give it full financial
support.

NEEDFUL KNOWLEDGE
tect the Approach of Kidney

The symptoms of kidney trouble

the victim is often weighted down by
a feeling of languor and fatigue
Neglect these warnings and there is
danger. Delay often proves fatal.

A JUST PROTEST

The farmers of the Pacific North
west are vigorously protesting
against the action of the governm ent
in fixing a price of 1920 per bushel
for wheat, with Chicago as the basic
market. Their protest does not
prove, as some people claim that
they are greedy and unpatriotic, be-
cause it is aimed not at the price
fixed, but at the discrimination
against them in favor of the grain
producers of the east. They will be
locked 80 cents a bushel on their
grain, the cost of shipping it to Chi
cagO, while the New York farmers
will receive a premium of 10 cents
a bushel over the Chicago price. Had
the necessities of the country re-
CURED a price of $1.75 a bushel be
fixed for every farmers grain deliv
cred at the nearest warehouse, there
would have been far less complaint,
| because each one would have felt that
while he was being asked to make a
big sacrifice, he was getting the same
price as every other farmer. 1t is not
! the sacrifice but the discrimination
which hurts.
Most of the present short wheat
crop of the Northwest will be kept
for feed, milling and seed purposes.
But a small part of it will be shipped
east, but its selling value will be de-
! termined on the basic Chicago price,
| less the freight rate to that city. The
New York wheat producer who sells
| to the flour mills will receive about
$3.50 per bushel, while the Wash
! ington producer who sells to the
local flour mills will receive about
$1.S5 per bushel. If the govern
ment had not set aside the law OF
supply and demand by fixing an ar
bitrary price, the farmers would
probably have received SO or more
per bushel for their grain, and the
price at Pacific coast terminals would
have varied but little from the price
at the Atlantic coast terminals. No
one questions the right of the gov
ernm ent in time of war to fix lower
price for wheat than the abnormal
conditions would justify the farmers
in expecting, but many question the
right to fix one price for the farmers
| in one section of the country and
different price for those in another
section. Such a policy will discour-
age rather than stimulate the plant
ing of an increased acreage in the
western states next year.
The fair way would be to fix as
basic price for Pacific coast termin-
ais the price fixed for Atlantic ter
minals, less the average difference in
the price for which wheat has sold
at the two points for term OF sew
eral years last past, which would be
in the neighborhood of five cents
This plan would give the farmers OF
all sections of the country square
deal instead of discriminating
against the wheat producers OF the
Pacific Northwest.

Badly Mangled Body Picked
Up By Rail Men
ANSWER TO DEATH CALL
Just How Man Was Seriously
Hurt Is Not Definitely
Determined
From Tuesdays Daily.


That a mother should be deprived
of both of ner sons within the space
of few days appeared to be the sad
lot of lady living at Washta, Iowa,
from information that was received
in Mankato yesterday afternoon. One
Of her sons was killed few days ago
in Nebraska, where he had been stay
ing on farm. The other, Stockton ID.
Mahaffey, thirty-two years old, who
had been boarding at the home of J.
w. Ray, 1922 Pleasant street, MankatO,
was seriously and, it was thought,
fatally injured on the Omaha right-of
way near Madelia last Sunday night
or early Monday morning.
S. d. Mahaffey on Sunday afternoon
about five o'clock received a telegram
from his mother, stating that his
brother Joe had been killed and asking
the surviving brother to come to
Washta at once. Stockton at once
made ready to leave Mankato and go
to Iowa. 1t seems from his converse
ton, as repeated by neighbors on
Pleasant street, that Stockton was
short of money, and he planned to
meet friend at Madelia and borrow a
little money from him. 1t is thought
that Stockton must have taken No. 1
of the Omaha which leaves MankatO
at 10:40 p. M, going south. Possibly,
he took No. 8, which leaves at 1:20
a. m. However, neither of these trains
stops at Madelia.
MangIed Cody Found.
Whether he was hurt in attempting
10 off hn in OF
Madelia is a matter of conjecture.
However that may be, some of the
railroad men, coming from Madelia TO
Mankato yesterday afternoon brought
the story that the badly mangled form
of man had been found early Mon
day morning three miles the other side
of Madelia by the barn man of a
crew of railroad workers, who had
been camping near by. 1t was reported
that in his pocket was found a tele-
gram stating that his brother was
dead, and that he should come at once.
| There appears to be little doubt that
the victim was Mahaffey.
The injured man was at once taken
| to st. James, where he was placed in
a hospital.
The news soon reached Mrs. J. w.
| Ray of Pleasant street and she made
ready to go last evening to st. James
and see whether the injured or per-
haps dying or dead man was the
same one that had been boarding at
her home.
The Ray and Mahaffey families are
old friends, having lived as neighbors
at Washta, Iowa, for nine years. The
Ray family later lived five years at
Lake Crystal and about year ago
came to Mankato. Stockton D. Ma
haffey also came to Mankato about two
months ago to find work. He was a
tiler by trade, but worked at odd jobs
along other lines. He was thirty-two
years old and single.
Mrs. J. w. Ray, on arriving at st.
James last evening, found out that
the man who had been injured was
really S. d. Mahaffey, and that he had
died at nine o'clock that evening.

Washington, June 12.-The total

about 9,250,000, according to state

that the census estimate was taken
without any reference to the fact
that there had been a recent enlist

America in the federal army, the
navy, the marine corps and the ma
s.pal guard, together with other
inches of the war service.
Furthermore, no account was TAX
