Suggestions offered by Home Econ

The following suggestions, offered
by Miss Gertrude McCheyne, expert
in home economics, Extension Div.
ision, Utah Agricultural College
should point the way to those Loyal
women who wish to aid their fathers
husbands, and brothers in the great
agricultural preparedness movement
that is sweeping the Nation.
Says Miss McCheyne:
Conservation or economy COM
mittees of women should be formed
in every town and village of Utah.
Women's sections should also be in
corporated in the Farm Bureaus.
Those committees should aid in:
/. Increasing the interest in poultry
on the farm. A far greater egg pro-
duction is possible in the West and
this is one place where the energy
of the women is needed. More eggs
should be stored for future use.
2. Fruits, meats, and vegetables
must be canned in abundance during
the coming summer. Windfalls must
be used. Cooperative or community
canning is advisable. Many wild
fruits should be utilized. The boys
and girls clubs can we'll aid in the
gathering of these wild fruits.
3. The renovation and rcmo1eling
of clothing should be seriously con-
sidered.
4. Home made hreless cookers
should be put in use. They enable
the use of cheaper cuts of meats and
save in the use of fuel Instructions
for making them will be furnished Ivy
the Extension Division of the Utah |

ton.
S. Red Cross circles should be
formed.
6. A good woman supervisor is
needed in every county to direct the |
work of the women.

How Utah will Aid

Plans were laid at the meeting oil
Utah Agriculturists held April 10TH
at the Utah Agricultural College that
will have a most far reaching effect
for good upon agricultural conditions
in this State Representatives from
all parts OF Utah were present at the
meeting, which included, besides
many experts of the Utah Agricul-
turai College faculty, the Board of
County Chairmen, representatives of
the State and Various County Farm
Bureaus, and representatives from
various industrial and church organ
izations.
The outstanding result of the con-
ference was the completion of an
organization of Utah's agricultural
units looking toward greater agri-
cultural production and efficiency.
A central committee was formed COM
posed of the Board of County Chair
men and representatives, yet to be
named, from many industrial and
agricultural interests of the State.
President +. G.. Peterson was APP
pointed executive chairman of this
committee. In case President Pet
erson can not find time to act, the
Board of Trustees is to fill the office
from the College faculty. ]. Edward
Taylor, formerly secretary of the
State Horticultural Commission, was
appointed executive secretary, while
the central committee will have gen
eral supervision of the statewide or
ganizaton, the above mentioned
officers, acting in connection with a
smaller executive committee, will
carry on the active work of organi-
zation. This committee will work
through the county agents and farm
bureaus, where such exist In other |
cases, the county chairman will see
to the organization of body SIM |
liar to the Farm Bureau within the |
next week, to undertake the details /
of local organization.
That the situation is indeed serious
developed during the meeting when
1t became apparent when reports
from various parts of the State were
heard, that there is an almost gen
eral shortage of seed throughout
Utah and that many food products
are running dangerously low. Pres
ident Peterson declared that the ma
ton is approaching a period of want
unless we conserve the food supply

remote probability that, within the
next six months, we shall lack many

MORE LIVESTOCK NEEDED.
Ways Suggested by which Our Meat
Supply may be Increased.

The Extension Division of the Utah
Agricultural College, cooperating
with the United States Department
of Agriculture, offers to the farmers
the following suggestions that should
prove of the greatest value in the
face of our present national food
| shortages
SUGGESTIONS FOR INCREASING
LIVESTOCK PRODUCTION
In view of the present shortage in
the world food supply we urge the
farmers of Utah to raise more and
better livestock.
l-Use greater discrimination in
the selection of cattle.
a. Select, dairy cattle by scales
and Babcock test.
b. Select low-set, blocky, early
maturing beef cattle.
2-Develop farm flocks of sheep.
a. Mutton and wool can be pro-
duced on weeds and other cheap feeds
not otherwise efficiently used.
3-Raise more hogs.
a. Hogs multiply rapidly.
b. Hogs produce human food very
cCOuOHllCdlly.
4-Make bigger business of farm
poultry.
a. Set more hens.
b. Produce infertilc eggs and pre-
serve them.
SConserve all feeds.
a. Harvest completely.
b. Build slos.
C. Stack carefully.
6-Feed carefully and economic
ally.
a. Build good feed racks and
managers.
b. Feed variety of feeds.
c. Feed balanced ration.
d. Feed literally but not waste
fully.
e. Feed according to age, pro-
duction. and kind of animal

Shall We Kill Him?

he witnessed the spectacle Of about
900 sparrOws attacking a field OF
German millet which had been in
vaded by several million of the army
worm caterpillars. In approximately
forty-eight hours the field had been
completely cleaned OF the worms.
James auckland, OF London. in a
paper published in the Smithsonian
Report for 1913, says: "Some years
ago the agriculturists of Hungary,
moved to the insane step by ignor-
ance and prejudice succeeded in get
ting the sparrow (passer domesticus)
doomed to destruction. Within five
years the country was overrun with
insects. and these same men were
crying for the bird to be givon back
to them lest they should perish. The
sparrow was brought back and, driv-
ing out the hordes Of devastating in
sects proved the salvation Of the
country"
Our own Edward Howe Forbush.
Massachusetts, State Ornitholog;st.
wrote us some time ago. in reply to
our question about the sparrow, as
follows;
"If We were rid Of the sparrows
and had our native birds back, no
doubt we could attract them into our
cities and they would protect the
trees but if now we should destroy
the sparrOws / suppose that other in
sects would increase. particularly the
geometrid caterpillars, which the
sparrow was imported to destroy.
Personally. / should deprecate
very much any widespread effort to
destroy the English sparrow for I
think that the bird is now fastened
upon us and determination is impos-
sible Any popular attempt to de-
strOy the sparrows will result in the
destruction OF other birds more use
full than the sparrow. I should not
object, however, to the sparrows be-
ing destroyed by trustworthy, reliable
citizens in any case where il might
seem necessary for the public welfare
to have this done"
There is no doubt, in our judgment,
from personal observation and con
versation with careful observers, that
the English sparrow in America is
changing his habits and becoming
more and more an insectivorOus bird.
We have watched him destroying the
brown-tail and gypsy moths, climbing
about fruit-trees searching for in
sects. This very summer with a flock
of over fifty sparrows living about our
place, every one of a number of bird
houses on the premises has been oc-
cupied by bluebirds and house wrens,
and in the trees more robins and VII
reos, and in the garden more chip
ping-sparrows have nested than dur
ing the past six years. For twenty
years we have observed the sparrow
with more than usual care. We have
never seen him attack a bird of an
other species. That he is often a
nuisance, building his nests over win

Once more the sparrow, our ever
present. dusty Woodworking little
passer domesticus. is before the court
on trial for mis- life. Now, the COM
plainant is the League of American

list the activities Of colleges, schools

ments. and all other forces IL may be

attack upon him. Nothing less than
his determination among us is the
end sought.
Before We all respond TO the heroic
call OF our friends the sportsmen, and
set out with gun and trap. and fire
and water and poison against this
tiny criminal. there are one or two
things that are well worth consider
ing. VIII an enlightened. educated
public opinion sustain a movement
that sets young boys killing birds by
every possible means that may be de-
vised even when the birds are spar
rows? Must not the character OF a
child inevitably suffer from the prac-
tice of killing? Must il not, this
crusade of destruction, blunt his finer
sensibiltics lessen his regard for
life in all its humber forms and fos-
ter in him the spirit of Indifference
toward suffering There is but one
answer to these questions. Expert
ence has demonstrated that argument
here is excluded From parents and
teachers and editors everywhere there
should arise a prompt and positive
protest against enrolling the children
of the land i'm any such campaign
as has for its object the killing OF
birds. TO matter what the birds are
The bird life Of this country is too
vitality related to its very existence
to run any risk Of training the youth
in the process of eXterminating even
an injurious species, should such an
one exist. In addition IL should be
said that there are sparrows, other
than the English sparrow, which re-
semble him sufficiently to make prob
able the killing of many a bird against
which no charge has ever been
brought. No if the sparrow Is all
his enemies say he is. and If he must
be destroyed, then let us entrust his
destruction to men designated TO the
task and not to children.
There is still something more to be
said. We know the Department of
Agriculture has advocated the trap
ping. poisoning and shooting of the
English sparrow. But even that dis
tinguished body does not know every
things has much still to learn. IL has
had to change its views many times
upon many questions. What are we
to do with such facts as these:
Recent Investigations carried on by
the Biological Survey lead to the
statement made by that authority.
that during the years 1911 and 1912 it
was estimated that one brood OF
young sparrows destroyed at least
