HOES AND RIFLES

The agitation for an enlarged crop OF
staple foods which is being carried on
so energetically-and we hope success
fully-in all parts of the country has a
basis in sound theory. Napier, the
great European military commentator,
has graphically compared an. army to a
snake, in. that it moves upon its belly.
The provisioning of the armies which
we must raise as our just contribution
to the fighting side of the war is of
prime consideration. In addition, we
must continue our stream of supplies
to the armies OF our allies already in
the field And besides this we must
provide for our own population at
home when so many hundreds OF thou
sands of workers are taken from pro-
ductive pursuits and put into the ranks.
Just now the man with the hoe is of
equal importance with the man with
the rifle.

THE POTATO CROP.

In the year 1912 the total yield for the
United States was 420, 200 bushels,
and the average wholesale price SO
cents bushel. The crop in 1914 was
4l0, 600, 900 bushels, that OF 1915, &c.,
100000 bushels, while last year the
total potato crop was only 285, 900, 900
bushels, which was 75,000,0 900 less than
il was in 1915, and l25, 100000 below
the crop Of 1914.
The number OF acres planted to pota-
toes in 1916 was $500, 900, as compared
with five-year average OF 1856, 600.
In 1866, when the potato crop was
l07, 900, 600 bushels, the merchants were
paying an average price Of AZ cents a
bushel. The following year the yield
Was 100000 bushels less and the
price 65 cents bushel
The lowest average price ever paid
was in 1895, when il was 26 cents a
bushel.
We venture the prediction that the
average price this year will not be less
than rs cents bushel.

STATE OFFERS PUBLIC
BOOKLET ON GARDENS

East Lansing, Mich, Apr. 24.-The
proposed flooding of the state with
literature on the subject of gardening
will, in the opinion of M. A. G. men,
make ignorance no excuse for the in

the gardening game. On the plea Of
inexperience in the agricultural arts.
AS part of its plan to inform every
Michigan citizen upon the subject, the
college has secured from the federal
government over 10000 copies of a
booklet entitled "Home Vegetable
Gardening" These bulletins will be
mailed out to every person writing in
TO the college for them.
The pamphlet is one which goes into
the gardening arts in detail. setting
forth every operation from seeding to
harvesting. and giving in addition sim
pie methods for efficient management.
To persons who have planned gar
den, or who purpose spading one, the
bulletin is expected to be big help.
1t can be secured by dropping card TO
the bulletin department of the Michi-
gan Agricultural College.

Cadet Company
at High School
Drilling Began this Week with
FOrty-five Enrolled.

The Board OF Education has decided
to give the boys of the high school the
uements OF military instruction and the
first drilling OF the boys was instituted
on Monday afternoon. The purpose of
the work is to give the students start
which will be of much value to them in
case they enlist in the army or are
$Safted or if compulsory training is
begun later by the government. 1t is
hoped also that the outdoor drill will
be of value in developing the boys
physically and give them better bear
ing and also better understanding of
what the life of soldier requires.
No rifles will be used in this training
at present but the drilling will all be
done with wooden models which are
now being made. The cadets will
elect their own officers.
The Board has secured Jas. Gidley,
formerly first sergeant in Company
to have full charge of all training and
the drills will be held three times a
week. No boys below the 7th grade
are allowed to take the training and
only those boys who bring written per-
mission from their parents are enrolled.
On Wednesday there were exactly fifty
lined up, including Serg. Gidley, L. P.
Holiday, B. j. Holcomb and A. E.
Wells of the high school faculty and
Rev. r. S. Sidebotham who are taking
the training with the boys.

APPEAL TO BANKERS
TO MAKE SEED LOANS

East Lansing, Mich, April 24.-The
high price of seed, particularly for
beans and potatoes, threatens in many
sections of the state to deter farmers
from planting maximum acreages 10
these crops, in the opinion of the farm
crops department of the Michigan
Agricultural College. Within the past
week appeals have been coming daily
to M. A. c. for financial assistance in
procuring seed, and accordingly the
suggestion is being made TO Michigan
bankers today to make long term loans
to agriculturists for the purchase of
seed, with the crop as security.
This is method for aiding farmers
which some state bankers have already
adopted, and which is an established
feature of agricultural finance in the
south.
"Short term loans of from 90 TO 80
days will not meet this situation," de-
clared j. F. Cox, acting professor of
farm crops at the college, "but by ar
ranging special seed loans running un-
til the crops are harvested, both the
farmer and the banker will be benefit
ed. In the south the entire banking
system in rural communities is based
upon the cotton crop, and loans are
freely made, payable at harvest time.
The adoption Of this plan in Michigan
will do much towards insuring the
planting Of every available acre. The
situation offers rare opportunity for
bankers to render a great service to
the state"

PROPOSED DRY MEASURES

Lansing, April 23.-Edwin Rawden,
legislative superintendent of the Michi-
gan Anti-saloon League, has drafted
the following brief outline of the four
bills that are expected to make Michi-
gan dry after May /, 1918. This quar-
tette of bills were drafted by the
League and supported by its organiza-
ton, and believed by those competent
to Judge, sufficiently drastic to secure
an effective enforcement:
THE WILEY LAW puts into opera
ton the provisions of the Constitution
al Amendment prohibiting the liquor
traffic adopted November 7, 1916; pro-
vides for the sale of intoxicating liquors
for medicinal, mechanical, chemical,
scientific and sacramental purposes;
provides for sale for these purposes by
druggists who take out permits so to
do; permits manufacture of cider for
vinegar; defines Intoxicating liquors as
all liquors capable of being used as a
beverage, which contain alcohol; pro-
vides for search and seizure of suspect
ed places, the same as the local option
law; prohibits sale or keeping for sale
by clubs; prohibits solicitation OF orders
for liquors by any person; prohibits ad-
vertising of Intoxicating liquors; makes
it the duty of all police and peace Off
GERS to enforce the law, and makes
their failure to discharge this duty
cause for forfeiture of their office and
grounds for removal.
THE DAMON LAW prohibits the
bringing or carrying into the state, or
the receipt or possession of any intoxi-
eating liquors within the state. This
law will make the state "bone-dry."
THE LEWIS LAW makes it the duty
of the Food and Drug Commissioner to
supervise and secure the enforcement
OF the laws relating to the prohibition
of the liquor traffic; gives him authority
to appoint such inspectors, investigators
and assistants as may be deemed
necessary. The duty imposed by this
law does not relieve local officers from
their duty OF enforcement, but is in
tended to be supplemental thereto. The
Food and Drug Commissioner is not a
new officer, but the Dairy and Food
Commissioner under a new name.
THE DAMON LAW amends Act 272,
Public Acts of 1915; declares that places
where intoxicating liquors are sold are
nuisances, and provides the machinery
for closing such places by injunction
proceedings. Under the provisions OF
this act, when the existence of a nuis-
ance is established by court proceedings
the furniture or contents of the build
ing used in conducting the nuisance
are ordered removed and sold and the
place is ordered closed for one year
The owner may release the premise:
from such closing order by giving {
bond of the full value of the property
Under this law person violating any
order of the court may be punished foi
contempt OF court. This law will pro
vide effective means to close place.
where liquor is sold illegally.

PLAN BIG ROLE FOR
WOMEN in MICHIGAN
FOOD SUPPLY WORK

East Lansing, Mich, April 10. A
great field for service will within few
days be opened to Michigan women
who in the war days now dawning wish
to make themselves useful to Uncle
Sam. Under plans which have been
drafted and will soon be put in opera
tion by the Woman's League for
Patriotic Service, cooperating with the
Home Economics department of the
Michigan Agricultural College, the en-
tire feminine forces OF the state will be
mobilized for highly important, though
peaceful duty To them, under Michi-
gan's war program, will be entrusted
the triple task of promoting gardening,
encouraging thrift, and instructing the
foreign elements in Michigan's popula-
tion in the principles and ideals of
Americanism
The plans which the women have
formulated are OF sort calling for
deeds rather than words, for it is a
gigantic work which the women, under
the leadership of Mrs. Caroline Bartlett
Crane, have undertaken. 1t will begin
with thorough organization of the
women OF the state into a methodical
working unit. Representative of the
Woman's League will make their way
to every city and hamlet between De-
troit and lronwood, and in each they
will bring together the various womens
clubs, missionary societies, suffrage
organizations, and so on, and unite
them into compact community bodies
When these organizations have been
perfe and this is expected TO be ac-
complished in the briefest time possible
each will be advised what it is to do.
This advice, which has been outlined
concisely, as follows, will take three
specific forms:
First-The league will recommend
participation by women in the move
ment to produce more food stuffs,
through making use of idle land and
vacant lots, and raising particularly
corn, beans and potatoes, and as much
poultry as possible.
Second-The league will promote
plans for the conservation and preserva-
ton of food. This will be done through
literature, and by directly demonstrate
ing how foodstuffs may be used more
economically and wisely, how better
combinations of food can be prepared
and the like. II will be advised as a
food conservation measure; for instance
that only one protein food, as beans or
meat, be served at a meal, and that
protein foods be served not oftener
than twice day. Another Phase of
this work will be the demonstrating of
how one food may be replaced by an
other, as rice, hominy and macaroni for
potatoes. Finally, it will be urged that
there be more preservation of excess
food products by canning and drying
Third-Women will be invited to
promote Americanism by instructing
the foreign elements and alien in Mich
igan's population in the ideals of Amer
lean citizenship, and what il means.
In all these endeavors, the women
will be requested to get into touch with
the Michigan Agricultural College,
which will supply reading matter and
field workers.
