Here is hint to the motorist who
wants to help in our nttional cam

ever stopped to count up the number
of chickens that you run over in a

are, 100000 motor cars in daily use
in the United States, and most of these
cars cover some country roads every

not kill one chicken in . year while
other cars may kill several, in one day.
To be very conservative, let us es'
innate That one-third of these cars will
kill one chicken per year. This means
the sacrifice. of 100000 chickens.
These chickens will vary as to size, age
and value, but with present prices, an
average of forty cents each is a very
conservative estimate. Based on these
figures, the value of this annual de-
struction is 100000. While it is im-
possible to know the actual loss. it is
very likely that two or three times the
above figure would be more nearly cor

INCREASE POULTRY PRODUCTION

An appeal to poultry raisers to ir-
crease their production of poultry, meat
and eggs has been issued by the Am
erican Association of Instructors and
Investigators in, Poultry Husbandry,
which met recently at Amherst, Mass.
These poultry experts, in resolution,
state that there will be an unprece-
dented demand for breeding stock and
poultry. products,i which can be met
most effectively by the introduction ct
approved methods and better stock sna
management lin each flock. - I: =
The association urges particularly
owners of flocks not to sacrifice val
liable chickens simply because feed has
become abnormally high in price. They
point out that such practice will
tend to reduce the supply of breeding
stock and lead to serious reduction in
output.
The members of the association, who
are the experts in poultry husbandry
from the several state agricultural col
leges and the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, stand ready to.
help all poultry producers to get maxi
mum results. .

Farmers can make the cultivation
Of corn most effective and go long
way toward assuring themselves of
harvesting a good crop by. getting the
start Of weeds. When these robber
plants are SMALL. before their roots
have taken firm hold and before they
have used much soil moisture, they
can be destroyed BY a light stirring of
the soil. When weeds have become
better established, however, deep cul-
tivation only will kill them. Such deep
cultivation not only means more labor,
but 1t cannot be accomplished without
breaking and destroying many corn
roots.
II corn land has been properly pre-
pared deep cultivation is not advisable.
It should never be given close to the
plants after they are q foot high, as
much harm would be done by breaking
the roots.
To get an early start Of the weeds,
in many sections or in seasons when
seed terminates slowly, 1t is advisable
TO harrow once or twice or otherwise,
to cultivate the neld before corn comes
mp. Limited moisture makes thin
stands necessary and 1t is poor man
asement to allow grass and weeds to
rob the corn Of this moisture.
Aside .from destroying weeds, time

Ing the loss Of moisture BY. evapora-
don and also In Fastening the warm
ing Of the soil. The loss Of soil nois-
ture By evaporation continues much
longer from a compact. damp surface
than from q loose, dry surface, and
the evaporation tends to keep the soil
cold.
In Northern localities and at high
attitudes the conservation of heat is
frequently as important as the con-
servation of moisture. Luckily, both
heat and moisture may be conserved
by good, timely cultivation. Heat Is
wasted in evaporating or wasting soil
moisture, making the surface loose
and dry saves both soil heat and soil
moisture.
Cultivate After Rains.
Cultivating after heavy rains is "a
good practice. To be most effective
the cultivatlng should be done as soon
as the surface is dry enough to work

well. If the soil is allowed to dry un-
til 1t breaks up cloddy, much moisture
Will be lost good mulch cannot be
obtained, and harm is more likely to
be done to the corn roots. As long a.
rapid evaporation Is taking place, tho
surface will remain cold and the
growth Of the corn will be slow. In
order to cover large areas quickly, cul-
tivators which work two or more rows
are great advantage.

ANXIOUS TO GO TO FRANCE.

1t was on the morning the troops
were to leave for France. and every
thing was in Il hurry. Mothers, SIS
ters and sweethearts were packing
lunch boxes and crying at the Same
time.
The soldiers were hnrryinE about
the streets and in and out OF houses.
On a corner stood n very unhappy lad
of eleven years, who was wishing with
all his heart that he might go. but his
age is against him of course. He is
very unhappy at home. as he has no
mother and his father, who is very
mean. is going to be married again.
He knows a great many soldiers. ana
he was very anxious to leave home.
Suddenly a bright thought enters his
mind and so, pulling down his hat and
buttonng up his coat. he hurries In
the direction OF the station. Here he
finds a large crowd and has no trouble
in getting into one OF the cars. He
crawls under a seat and waits the
coming Of the boys. Finally he hears
the band. and soon the car fills up
with noisy boys. He lays very still.
wondering who is sitting above him. At
last the train pulls out, and in abou.
a half hour. he crawls out, much to
the amazement of all, and finds the
boy who used to live next TO him, sit
ting in the seat he hid under. He
begs the boy to ask the captain not
to put him OFF, so the boy secures per-
mission for him to remain. SO he
goes with the troops a very, very hap.
py boy, and let us hope nothing hap
pens and bid him Eood-by.
