The course lasts three months, and

Twenty-Five thousand men are needed

A rumot that the government expects
TO take food supplies, especially canned
goods, from families has been circulated,
This rumor is evidently propaganda
on the part OF the enemies OF the
United States. The University of Mis-
souri, College OF Agriculture and the
United Safes government wish 10
assure the people that the rumor is un-
founded. NJ such action has been
contemplated.
Efforts have been made by the col
lege and the government TO persuade
families to preserve large large sup
ply Of fruits and vegetables. The
campaign has been carried out with
the welfare Of the people in view so
that an abundant supply Of food would
be canned and dried and so that waste
would be prevented.
Although the canning season fol
many food products has passed there
are still many foods that should be pre-
served for winter use. It is the de
sire Of the persons in sharge Of the
production campaign that the people
continue to preserve and store food
II each family will store enough canned
goods for home use, commercial prod
ucts will be released for use Of thost
families who have not had the op
portunity to can, aud for army con
sumption. The people Of Missouri
can continue their food storage ant
conservation work and rest assured tina

Camp Grant, H., Sept. 26.--Colonel
Roosevelt shot facts and figures as
they had been given to him uncensoEed
at 5000 National Army men today.
He dealt with the present military con-
dition Of the United States, and in re
pea,ed sentences hammered TeprOach
at the general governmental policy that
he held had produced the situation.
Repeatedly Colonel Roosevelt called
NJ jor General Barry to the near wit
ness stand" If am wrong, correct
me, General Barry" the Colonel would
say. General Barry, Of course, offered
no interruption or dispute to Colonel
Rooseve!'s assertion.
These direct charges were made By
Colonel Roosevelt;
/. Tha' Ndional Army men now in
training camps-Camp Grant being
a specific exctpiion-are being drilled

Obtain SOybean Seed at ThraShing
Time.

Soybeans are bee c)ming more popular
among the farmers. A demand for the
seed has arisen from the cotton oil mills
Tnc plant is also valuable as a forage
and soil improving crop.
The University OF Missouri College
Of Agriculture suggests that farmers
who plant soybeans next spring provide
seed this fall at harves. and thrashiug
time. This is advisable because dur,
ing the subsequent winter months
plenty Of time will be found to fan or
screen the seed carefully where pure
seed is to be grown.
Another important advantage to be
gained from securing seed in the fall is
that good soybeaD seed is usually scarce
and it commands much better prices at
planting than at harvest. Ia the fall
OF 1919 farmers sold soybeans for 50 90
a bushel. At planting time this same
seed was purchased at SIS 90 TO So 90
bushel.
