GET YOUR LOCAL FARM
ASSOCIATION READY
TO DO BUSINESS

The National Farm Loan Board is
now sending out the actual cash to
national farm loan associations. The
credits law is no longer matter of
theory: the wheels are actually run
ming. With little more delay than will
always be necessary you can now bor-
row up to half the value Of your farm
at per cent. interest and have 80 to
40 years, if you wish it, in which to
repay the loan.
But don't forget that if you are to
do this you must join national farm
loan association and file your appli-
cation in due form. Only few days
ago we had this despairing complaint
from a reader:
81 Joined the association when it
organized" he wrote, "and was told
at the time that the money would be
available by the first Of March, but
read an article in The Progressive
Farmer later to the effect that it
would not be ready before the first
of May. That time has now passed,
heard anything from it. l was in
town last and talked to several busi-
ness men in regard to it, but they
don't seem to think that the money
will be put out since the war has been
declared. l also saw our local secre-
tary and he said it would probably be
three or four months before an ap-
praiser for this section is appointed
and it may be fall or later before we
hear anything from it. / had intend
ed to increase my livestock consider
ably and want some of this money to
put down additional fences and build
a silo; but from the way things look
now it don't seem as if people in this
section are going to get any benefit
from this source any time soon."
We promptly took up this complaint
with the Federal Land Bank authori-
ties and found this situation. On
, April 10 they had sent the secretary
! all the necessary blanks, but this sec
retary hadn't sent them in. Instead
of doing his part, he was delaying,
and guessing that it would be three
or four months" before an appraiser
would be appointed to serve his peo-
pie. AS matter of fact, the FEEDER
al Land Bank assured us that it had
| appraisers waiting for work.
If you own land and need 5 per
cent. money for improvements or to
pay off debts on your land, you can
get nine other people to join with you
| and organize national farm loan
association any time now, with the as
! surance that the money will be forth
coming with reasonable promptness.
But you must be sure that your local
, secretary attends to his work prompt
~ and in business-like way.-Pro-
gressivc Farmer.

GERMAN MILITARY WRITER
FEARFUL OF AMERICAN ARMS

Copenhagen, July 6.-Captain Won
Salzmann, military critic of the Ber-
lin Vossische Zeitung, devotes two
columns to the military influence of
America on the war, in which he says
it will be necessary to reckon if the
struggle last until 1918. He states
the powerful influence of American
Intervention on Germany's opponents
and on neutrals is already evident
and that the effects must not be un-
dcr-cstimated.
Captain Won Salzmann says that in
regard to their quality the American
soldiers will not attain the standards
'of brilliance characterizing the
French and German armies, or their
talent in leadership, finesse in execu-
ton and quickness of decision, but
that Americas military contribution,
like Great Britain's will find express
sion in numbers and mechanical ap-
plication of brute poyer Americas
numbers, he writes, are counted upon
by the entente in respect of men, ar
tillery and particularly aviators. In
corporated in divisional units with
British and French troops, as Captain
Won SalZmann expects the American
forces to be, he says they will be wor-
thy opponents.
Nevertheless the Americans will
not affect the result on the western
front, he writes, because Field Mar
shall Won Hindenburg says the subma-
rine will force Il decision before thew
become a dpciSiyr factor

THE CAPTURE OF koNlUcHY

Beginning with the first day of Ju-
ly the Russian army in Galica attack
ed the German and Austrian lines
along a front of more than eighteen
miles. This movement appears not to
have been generally anticipated either
by Russia's allies or by her enemies,
altho the War Minister Kerensky had
announced several weeks earlier that
Russia would resume the offensive
early in July. The first days attack
resulted in the capture of the forti-
fled village of Koniuchy and of more
than 10000 prisoners of war. The
head of the Russian advance was
formed of regiments Of death" who
were informed before the attack that
they could not expect to return alive.
After the taking of Koniuchy, the
Russians concentrated the efforts on
the n1orn important and difficult OBJ
jective of Br2ezany. This city was OBJ
stinatcly defended and a number of
massed infantry attacks broke up
under the German fire. The Russians,
however, extended their offensive on a
continuously wider front and every
day added to the number of prisoners
taken in the hostile trenches A Ger
man counter attack on July resulted
In the recapture of some shell craters
which the Russians had occupied. An
encouraging feature of the Galician
campaign is that the Russians are far
more nearly equal to their foes in ar
tillery and ammunition supply than at
any previous time during the war.

WHY FOOD PRICES
WILL STAY HIGH

The first big thing that war en-
phasies, of course, is that a hungry
world is likely to pay bigger profits to
the farner who makes food than to
the farmer who makes anything else.
1t was Bradford Knapp, we believe,
who originated the saying, "You cant
patch your breakfast, darn your din
ner, or mend your supper" In other
words there is hardly human being
who, if he had to, could not exist Il
whole year with the clothes he already
has, whereas a week without food
would mean starvation. SO it is that
the worlds first great need is food.
And if extraordinary effort are not
made, there is not likely to be food
enough for the world. This is true
| for two reasons:
| l. A Reduced Number Of Food Pro-
ducers.-Whcn we say what we know,
| namely, that millions of farm l2hor-
| crs have now become soldiers. that is
only another way of saying that mil
| lions who were formerly food d-produc-
ers have become fOod-consumcrs. I'm
other words, greatly reduced num-
Der OF men are making a surplus of
food while an increased number are
demanding it.
2. Unfacorable Crop Conditions.
Not only has the worlds food sup.
ply suffered for the reason Just men
toned, but the very elements of ma
ture seem in conspiracy to starvc ont
a warmad world. If the unfavorable
grain situation were confined to the
United States, it would not be so bad,
but the shortage is Worldwide. Ac-
cording to the figures from the Inter
national Institute of Agriculture, aS
quoted in last weeks Progressive
Farmer, for example, the total wheat
crop available for intcrnationl trade
this year will be only ~ per cent Of
last years, and 83 per cent of Il five
year average, while the total yield Of
all cereals harvested before fall pro-
misses to be only 80 per cent. of last
years crops.
In this situation it is not surpris-
ing to find that while from May |,
1916, to May 1, 1917. cotton prices
increased Cd per cent, corr prices in
creased 108 per cent. and wheat
prices 139 per cent. In other words
corn and wheat prices more than dou-
bued while cotton priccs increased
less than two-thirds The Progress

PRAYER As AID TO FIGHTERS

Protestant soldier who died for France,
tells US: "a Catholic captain said the
other day that he prayed before every
engagement. The major observed that
1t was no time for such things, and
that he would do better to attend to
his orders. Major replied the other
man, 1T doesn't prevent me from tax
ing my orders and fighting. and I feel
the stronger for it. Then I broke in;
Captain, I do as you do, and I also
am strengthened ","'.'

prayer mean to these soldiers2 They
tell us that It is something which
makes them stronger: that they draw
virtue from It. We have all read
about such things. but these two men

CONSERVATION ARMY RECRUITING drive

war will be brought about with so
much less of the sacrifice of precious
lives of Yankee boys in khaki, be-
cause food In these modern times Is
an absolutely essential part Of the
snews of war"
During campaign week a House
Card" bearing valuable suggestions as
to just how food conservation and
substitution can be effected will be
placed in every home. And in every
home that has enrolled in the con
servation army by signing pledge
card will also be placed an artistic
card showing that the family residing
there has shown its loyalty in a prac-
tical way and Is DESTROYS Of lessening
the sacrifice of precious lives OF
Yankee boys in Khaki" These cards
are to be displayed In the windows
so that 1t may be seen at glance
who the real supporters of the gov
eminent and our armies are.
Food Administrator James Hart
ness is anxious that the housewives
Of the state respond as a unit to this
call to service, not only because 1t
means a shortening of the war and
the saving of American lives, but
also because In a very definite way
Vermont Is on trial before her sister
states in the union, just as those
other states are on trial before Yer
mont. The Food Administration in
Washington will publish throughout
the press of the land daily compari-
sons of the enrolment in each state,
so that what each state does will be
common property.
The Vermont Food Administration
officials know that If Vermont house
wives will merely ratify their present
thriftiness by signing the pledge card
when presented to them, no oppor-
tunity will be given to critics of this
state to repeat the unfortunate stric-
lures on Vermont occasioed by the
misrepresentation of the states en-
listments in the military service. 1t
is recognized that thrift rules in most
Vermont homes, but because a woman
is now doing all she can along that
line Is no reason why she should fail
to sign the card. She must demon
strate her willingness for the fair
name of the state, for If the Vermont
enrolment Is low criticism Surely will
follow
Food will win the war" Is Mr..
Hoover's message through Mr.. Hart
ness, to the people Of Vermont. Mr..
Hartness- calls on the housewives OF
the state and those who handle food
to seize this opportunity to show
their patriotism and desire to protect
and cooperate with our boys at the
front by signing the pledge card, and
he asks that all loyal housewives make
plain their patriotism by displaying
in the window of their home the
membership card which signifies that
that home has signed the pledge card,
has enrolled in the conservation army
and Is doing its share to place Yer
mont in the forefront Of the states OF
the union in this move to protect the
lives of American soldiers overseas,
and the families and soldiers of our
allies.
Essex County herald. [volume] (Guildhall, Vt.) 1873-1964, 1917-10-19

Food will win the war" is the
slogan that is behind the great drive
that will be made through Vermont
and the other states in the union dur
ing the week beginning October 81, to
enlist every housewife in the conser-
walton army of the Food Admins
tration.
Machinery has been constructed
through the agency Of a state ex-
ecutive committee appointed by Fed
e-al Food Administrator Hoover,
Of which Governor Horace F. Gra-
ham Is the chairman, to make a
house to house canvass of the homes
in Vermont with an appeal to each
woman to sign a pledge card. In
every city and town there are pa
triotic men and women who will un-
dertake the work Of actual solicit
tation. ... .-....
The Importance of food conserva-
ton cannot be overstated. Food
will win the war;" and every Vermont
man and woman wants to do his or
her share to help in the battle
against Prussian militarism. 1t is
because of his faith in the sturdy
loyalty of Vermonters that State Food
Administrator Hartness is confident
that there will be an earnest desire
to sign these pledge cards.
In one sense Vermont has already
gone on record in the campaign. At
the Rutland War Convention, after
Herbert Hoover's personal message
to the men, women and children or
the state had been read and Mr..
Hoover's representative had forced
home the vital importance of conser-
walton, the Vermonters present, as
sembled by the hundreds from all
parts Of the state, amid enthusiasm,
pledged the commonwealth support
to the Food Administration, because
they recognized that our allies are
sorely in need of additional supplies If
they are to continue in full strength
in the field and because they further
recognize that 1t Is from America
alone that their failing stores can be
replenished.
The Food Administration asks all
housewives and those who handle
food in the homes to sign the pledge
cards. This pledges each to save
small amounts through substitution
and by avoiding waste, and these
small amounts, when multiplied by
millions, become an immense amount
that will be of the greatest impor-
lance. The whole problem will be
solved If the American people will
make these small savings.
Governor Graham Is calling on the
people of the state to sign the pledge
cards and to cooperate with the Food
Administration as a war duty. Con-
gresham Frank L. Greene says that
such cooperation "means that tire
mendous weapon, defensive and Of
fensive, will be welded by the moth
ers, sisters, daughters, sweethearts
and wives Of the boys who are to
fight the country's battles Somewhere
In France'", and he further declares
that "if America will feed her own
people and her allies, the end of the

sERBIANS FIGHT FOR COATS
Cold Soldiers In Trenches Capture Fur
Garments After Weeks Of
ManeuVerinq.


Occasionally the drama Of war takes
on an intimate-almost a neighborly
touch In the Balkans. Five cold men
Of the Choumadia division became
aware last winter that in the Bulgar
dugout just opposite their post-not
80 feet away-three fur-coated officers
often met, says the National Geograph-

"Let us get the fur coats" said the
five cold Serbs.
The story Of the getting is too long

weeks In which the five cold men In
trigued and Unanswered for those
three fur coats their entire regiment
became aware Of the play and watched
It as one might particularly enter

men succeeded. Lives were lost on
both sides; but that is beside the point.
From the colonel down the men Of
that regiment rejolced over the STRAIT
