Gently passed broad statutes and made
appropriations for the work of their
councils Forty-four have further eX-
tended their influence by the creation
of statewide system Of local organi-
zation, usually based on the county as
a unit, but sometimes reaching down
as far as the school districts and mu-
inequalities.
Like the National Council, the state
bodies are subdivided into committees
dealing with many phases of defense
work-military. publicity. transporta-
tion. finance. food. industries and labor.
minerals, medical. science, legal. edu-
cational. coordination and independ-
ent societies. Several of the state So
cieties issue their own periodicals.. and
publicity is maintained by the circula-
ton Of bulletins and the aid of many
public speakers
Some Of their activities are neces-
sarily of Importance only to the state
alone. but in a number Of cases they
have been found a most effective
nationwide Importance. Thus the
War Department has benefited by their
cooperation in the matter of recruit
ing, the Treasury Department in re-
ment OF Labor and the Department Of
Agriculture in many Of the problems
which concern them both. At the re-
quest of the commercial economy board,
they were appealed to to put an end
to the wasteful return of unsold bread.
and equally wasteful retail deliveries.
and their response has been highly sat
isfactory in both regards. At the
present time. due to the aid of these
councils, the practice of returning un-
sold bread Is practically abolished
throughout the nation.

wooled sheep. He said that the race
had been derived from ''the best Inn
provements at Mount Vernon combin-
speces and Of vea

George Washington. Mr.. Custis said
that "on this stock, a relict of him
whose labors for the happiness and
with his life, have been grated the
most superior production"
In telling OF this improved breed of
sheep. Mr.. Gusts said that the race
combined many of the finest qualities
desirable in sheep-a wool of great
length and fine texture. and form
uniting compactness Of body with lit
tie offal When we consider" urged
Mr.. Custis. that the same soil which
supports the miserable and degenerate
race of sheep common in this country
would at the same time give nourfsh-
ment to a superior sort. the advantages
OF improvement must be evident to ev-
cry mind"
ments in breeding sheep. his plan to
promote the American woolen industry
and his address to the people Of the
United States are preserved in a little
yellow book that was printed at Alex
andria. Va. by 8. Snowden in 1903.
On the f1yleaf Of that old book is
this:
An address to the People Of the United States
the Importance of Encouraging Agriculture
and Domestic Manufaetures-Tendne to shew
that by Due Encouragement of these Essential
Interests the Nation will be Rendered More Re
spectacle Abroad and More Prosperous at Home
Together with an Account of the Improvement IN
Sheep at Arlington the Native Sheep Of Smiths
Island and the Plans proposed for Extending this
Valuable Race Of Animals for the BENEFIT Of the
Country at Largely George Washington Parke
Custis of Arlington House in the District Of
Columbia.
On another page of the book is what
Mr. Gusts wrote as "benediction."
Coming from a man who lived in the
youth OF the Republic and who was the
adopted son of the father of his coun-
try, that dedication ought to be in
teresting to Americans. 1t follows:
To those Societies which are formed for the
promotion of Agriculture and Domestic Economy
TO those individuals who have worthily served
this National Cause and to the People of the
United States who ought to be aroused to q due
sense of the Importance Of their Domestic Inter
ests and the Unworthiness of Foreign De-
pendence. and who by a noble effort in the
giving bread to the Poor. Industry to the People
and Independence to the Nation.
To Such, is this Address Most Respectfully
Dedicated.
This patriotic and enthusiastic old
American in one part OF his address
declares that, no country was ever
more literally gifted by nature with
scites for manufactures-the streams
possessing sufficient planes of water to
the elevated situations where the winds
could be called in to aid the labor for
the public good, and the vast forests
which would contribute. the steam SO
necessary and useful in modern i'm
provements."

carried out by the use of bulletins an4.

other directions.
Similar publicity work has been d..
rected in every state toward food cons-
servation. the campaign being largely
directed against waste of food and fuel.
In many states the council has under.
taken to suggest what food products
should be especially conserved.

Hampshire are among the states which
have reported the organization of en-
ployment exchanges for all classes of
labor. The Florida food preparedness
commission has instituted an agricul-
tura1 labor exchange. In Iowa and Wis
consin a farm labor survey was under
taken to determine the need for labor
and to aid in adjusting the supply TO
the demand.
Every state in the Union has reported
the existence of some committee solely
concerned with activities relating to
food supply and conservation. In most
of the state councils there are large
number of committees dealing with
various phases of food production and
conservation. Colorado, Florida. Geor-
gia, Kansas, New Mexico, North Da-
kota. Virginia and Washington have
reported the organization of commit
tees dealing with agriculture in every
county and often in every local sub
division of each county.
Again in every state but eight where
there is a local council in nearly every
county, there is almost invariably To-
cal agricultural committee subordinate
to each county council. In California,
Colorado. Iowa, Kansas. Massachu-
setts. New Mexico and Wisconsin the
agricultural work of state and local
councils has been supplemented by the
assistance of agricultural colleges.
The state councils of defense in vari-
ous states have been given considera BILE
power by statute over the production
and use of food. and every state has
conducted extensive propaganda for
the increase of planting and produc-
tion of food. and against waste and
