Washington, April 25-Food condi.

President Wilson and his advisers at
the cabinet meeting concentrated their
attention upon what is being done to
increase the food supply of the United
States and provide additional ships to
carry produce to Europe.
To Prevent Waste.
Realizing that 1t will require time
to make more plentiful the American
harvest, the immediate object of the
government will be to prevent waste
and systematic distribution and pro.
ductlor of foodstuffs so that the best
possible use can be made of supplies
already on hand.
Britain Has Been Backer.
The question of supplying. food.
money and ships will play an impor.

British commissioners are able to
speak with authority on the needs of

Only Two British Machines Missing
After Battle-15 German Planes
Were Seen to Crash to Ground,
While rs Went Down Out of
Control.

With the British Armies in France
April 25.-The intensely bitter ground
fighting of the last few days has been
reflected in the air and the British
Royal Flying corps established new
record by bringing down 40 German
machines in one day. Fifteen OF these
were actually seen to crash, while %
collapsed or fell in spinning nose dives,
completely out Of control.
Fight Three Miles in Air.
The fights took place three miles in
the air. from which distance it is bare
ly possible to see the ground, and
wholly impossible to see an adversary
crash unless the pilot deliberately fol.
lows down. Such course is not feas.
ible where the fighting has taken on
the character Of a general melee, as
is nowadays often the case. A remark
able part of Mondays performance is
that only two British machines are
missing.
Fine Day for Air War.
It was the finest day for war flying
that the young pilots ever had and
the next day they went at it again at
sunrise, but the full reports of their
exploits are not in. Il is known, how.
ever, that one intrepid young flyer,
failing to find single German obser-
walton balloon aloft, sought one in its
hangar on the ground, dived at it and
set the big gas bag ablaze from stem
TO stern.
Deprived of clouds for the purpose
of digging themselves in the Ger.
man flyers were far scarcer than usual
and difficult to find. British machines
were everywhere along the battle
front and far behind the German lines.
raids were carried out As
miles back, the machines deliberately

raging with the greatest fury.

THOROUGH MOTOR TEST FEA-
TURES OVERLAND PRODUCTION

One of the interesting features OF
the mechanical operations at The
WHY'S Overland Company's Toledo
factory is the solution of the prob
lem of testing all motors thorough
ly to discover any mechanical flaw
before final assembly.
Every four and six-cylinder engine
is block tested before it leaves the
Toledo factory. The WHY'S Knight
four and eight-cylinder motors are
tested thoroughly at the WHY'S
Overland factory in Elyria, Ohio, be-
fore being shipped to Toledo.
To take care of the enormous
number Of engines that are block
tested at the Toledo plant several
dynamometer rooms have been
opened.
In the block test room for Light
-Four motors there are facilities for
testing 500 motors. thoroughly each
day. The motors are mounted on
blocks" and for a while are oper-
ated by the dynamos to which they
are attached.
After the parts are deemed suffi-
GENTLY run in" the engines are
given fuel and are allowed to oper
ate the dynamos, being run that
way for hours at time, until they
are considered ready for the chassis
assembly.
Immediately after the dynamo
meter test all the oil bases are I'M
screwed and the parts are examined
and cleaned thoroughly before being
sent to the assembly rooms.
Another instance Of the efficiency
and economy of operation practiced
at the WHY'S Overland factory is
displayed ir these "block' test
rooms. The power generated con-
stantly by the motors on the
blocks" is used to operate other
equipment throughout the plant.

URGESIGOv. COOPERATION
A. D. Campbell Calls Attention To
Productiveness of Idle Land in
This Section

April II, 1917.
Hon. VIM. c. Redfield, Sec'y.,
Department of Commerce,
Washington, d. C.
Dear Sir:-I have your circular
letter Of the 14th in the matter Of
greater food production. Let me say
to you that if We can get proper
activity in the matter Of further
clearing of Upper Wisconsin land of
stumps we can grow enough addi-
tional potatoes this year to feed at
least 100000 United States soldiers
for a year following harvest next
fall.
There are now at least $4,000 far
mers in Upper Wisconsin who have
land otherwise cleared than Of
stumps and there is no good reason
why each one Of them should not
clear more land of stumps and plant
potatoes this year. l know that peo-
pie who are not familiar with mod
ern machinery for pulling stumps
will say that this a slow and hard
proposition, but I call your atten-
ton to the fact that three men and
a team can pull from two to three
acres of stumps in day and that
the land will grow from $50 to 200
bushels Of potatoes to the acre if
only reasonably cultivated
There is no reason in the world
why with the cooperation Of the
Federal Government we should not
have a remarkable increase in the
acreage of potatoes in Wisconsin this
year and in this connection L will
say that there is no region in the
United States better suited to large
crops of splendid potatoes than these
Upper Wisconsin counties and in
this L do not overlook the famous
counties in the state of Maine.
1T has been a matter of surprise
TO me that people in the Agricultural
Department at Washington have up
to-date failed to appreciate oppor-
tun1ties in Upper Wisconsin and I
trust that in this most serious crisis
IN our food supply these people will
awaken to the fact that Upper Wis
consin has no superior in the pro-
ductlon of not only potatoes but also
all the root crops, hay and the
grains, and that probably no such
pasture prevails anywhere in Amer
lea as in these Upper Wisconsin
counties
Trusting that the foregoing will be
suggestive to you as one Of the
means of remedying the food supply
situation and assuring you of my
most hearty cooperation, l remain,
Yours very truly,
WIS. ADVANCEMENT ASSN,
By A. d. Campbell, Manager.
