FROM COUNTY FARM AGENT
Farmers are Organizing for War
Emergency.


The farmers organization campaign
began in real earnest week before
last. New clubs were organized at
Doe Run, DeLassus and Bonnie Terre.
New clubs were organized last week
at Barton, Frankclay, Bismarck, Coon
vile, Roughly, and Germania. The
organization work will continue
through all of this week until the en-
tire county is covered. Much interest
is being shown by the farmers attend
ing these meetings, but the attendance
is not nearly as great as it should be.
At all Of these newly organized clubs
other meeting at an early date and
increase the membership and enthusi-
asm. Every farmer should join some
farmers club in the county. The gov
eminent is asking that you do this
not only for the support of "Old
Glory" but for your own protection,
as well.
Dean F. B. Mumford of the Col
lege of Agriculture and Chairman of
the Missouri State Council of Defense,
made the following statement after
his return from Washington, D. c.,
where he attended the conference of
the National and State Council of De-
Tense: Federal plans concerning the
war emphasize raising large food
supply as being more important than
raising large army. 1t is the desire
of the War Department that those en-
gagged in the production of food should
not be drawn away to join the army.
The selective draft will provide for
this, leaving it largely to local COM
munities as to what class of young
men are needed at home. The people
of the East seem more conscious of
the magnitude of the situation than
do those of the West. The sentiment
is growing in the National Capital
that the war will continue for longer
period than is generally believed
elsewhere. This will require the
fullest development and use of the
nations resources"
This statement, made by one who
knows the situation, should inspire
every farmer to become a member of
some organization to protect his ma
ton and his home.

Garden and Canning Clubs.

The Lead Belt is coming across with
its part of the food production cam
paign. ]. M. Besterfeldt of the Ma
tional Lead Company has succeeded
in organizing a large number of Gar
den and Canning Clubs with a total
membership running into the hun
dreds.
On Thursday night, May 10, Gar
den and Canning Club was organized
at Bonnie Terre which probably caps
the climax in its initial membership
and speedy organization. This club
was organized with F. T. Halle as
president, l.. A. Delano, vice president,
and j. S. Daniels, secretary treasur-
er.
These members are being furnished
garden plots free by the Bonnie Terre
Farming and Cattle Co. The Gar
den and Canning Clubs which have
been started in the Lead Belt certain
ly show that the patriotic spirit runs
high in that section. 1t will undoubt-
eddy help greatly toward solving the
food problem in this county.
All of these clubs are organized
under the auspices of the Farm Bu-
reau and by virtue of their organiza-
ton become a part of it and are en-
titled to all of the privileges it ap-
pertains. The local officers act as To-
cal leaders, the County Agent as
county leader, and R. H. Emerson of
the Missouri Agricultural College as
State leader By linking these clubs
up with these county and State or
CARNATIONS, each club is entitled to
free information and instruction on
garden culture and canning and use
of canning demonstration sometime
during the season.
All garden clubs that are being or
ganized in the county should be Or
ganized under this plan.

MEN TO FORT RILEY

Columbia, Mo-, May 21.-One hun
dred and three students in the Univer-
sity of Missouri, former students, al
umni and men of Columbia have en-
tered the Officers Training Camp for
the Reserve Corps at Fort Riley, Kan
sas. The large number accepted is
probably due to the compulsory mil
itary training required by the Uni
versity of every man entering as a
freshman.
The Board of Curators of the Uni
versity has adopted a two-year's com
pulsory training for the school and it
will be placed in effect at the begin
ming of the school year next fall. A
complete four-year curriculum lead
ing to an appointment in the regular
army or in tn officers reserve corps
is also to be instituted at this time.

Comparative Value of Bread and
Potatoes Now,

When bread is ten cents for 16
ounce loaf potatoes will have to be
$1.50 per bushel in order to supply
the nutriments as cheaply as the bread.
When potatoes go above $1.50 per
bushel bread is cheaper food.

Foods that are Cheaper than Potatoe

Foods that are Cheaper than Potatoes
The potato is one of the most i'm
portant food products. 1t is veg
etable, thus furnishing certain things
that the body needs in addition to its
food value as determined by chemical
analysis. At the present prices of po-
tatoes the nutriments that it contains
are more expensive than in many other
foods. For instance, when potatoes
are S2.40 bushel, corn meal will fur
nish the nutriments as chcaply at 81
1-2 cents a pound. If corlmeal is 5
cents pound it will furnish the nu-
triments at less that one-fourth as
much as potatoes, or if cornmeal is
5 cents pound potatoes would have
to sell for 55 cents a bushel to fur
nish the food nutriments as cheaply.
With potatoes at $240 the following
foods furnish the food nutriments as
cheaply at the prices given-oatmeal
at "a IL cents pound, rice at 81 1-2
cents pound, wheat flour at 81 ga
cents, white bread at Is cents. AS
these foods all sell at considerably
less than the prices given they will
furnish the nutriments more cheaply
than potatoes at $2.40. The conclu-
sion should not be drawn from this
that these foods can entirely replace
potatoes, but that they can replace
the potatoes to some extent.
The Farmington times. (Farmington, St. Francois County, Mo.) 1905-1926, 1917-05-25

heifers rather than small calves. The
County Agent was authorized by the
club to visit a Holstein herd near
Fayette, Mo-, and select these heifers.
1t was decided to buy heifers rather
than calves because there is no law
requiring that young calves should
be tested for tuberculosis before being
shipped, and there is tendency for
shippers to send inferior and I'M
healthy calves under such regulations.
The herd, from which the heifers are
to be selected for the club, is high
grade and has recently been tested for
tuberculosis. Calves will be purchased
the latter part of this month.
Food or Water in SiIO.
Corn just tasseled out has big
bulk but it is made up very largely
of water. A silo filled with corn at
this stage will be largely filled with
water. The same silo filled with corn
at the glazed stage will contain
great deal more food value. In plant
ing corn for the silo select corn that
will ripen
Peeling Potatoes Raw-Wasteful.
One-ffth of the potato is removed
when potatoes are peeled raw, ac-
cording to an experiment made by
the Home Economics Department of
the North Dakota Agricultural Col
lege. Most of tn protein and mineral
salts in the potato lie near the skin.
These go with the peel when the po-
tatoes are pared raw. So that the
loss in food value is more than one
fifth. With small potatoes the loss
in pairing raw was one-fourth. The
potatoes boiled in their jackets have
more flavor, too. If the potatoes are
wilted, soak before using.

GRAMMAR SCHOOL
ENDS BIRD CONTEST

The bird contest for grades III
ana Nv was held at the Museum on
Thursday afternoon, one hundred and
sixteen competing for the prize, a two
and half dollar gold piece. The con-
testants were mainly pupils who had
made an individual effort to know all
the common birds, and who. thought
they had a good chance of winning.
They therefore wrote with great in
terest, and doubtless gained much
from the experience. The better
knowledge of the bird life about us is
the real prize gained by all.
The winner of the gold piece was
Anice Busby from Miss Wilde's room.
Grade III, Summer Street School. She
wrote the names of the full number
OF rs birds correctly. She was espe-
cially deserving of the award because
of neatness and good writing as
we'll as the fact that she could have
named twice as many birds as we'll as
those shown.
Honorable mention is made of the
papers of the following: Ruth Parks,
Ruby Somers, Clifford La Point, Julia
Cross, Edwina Macomber, Harry Mof-
felt, George Blodgett, Eleanor Will
kins, Blanche Cook, and Marcia Sta
pies.
The bird contest for grades and
VI was held on Friday afternoon, 100
competing. The first prize was won
by Donald Matson, who named every
one of the so birds shown correctly.
Honorable mention is made of the fol-
lowing, who did we'll: Christine Bro
ley. Vera Doyle, Margaret Kicker,
Helen Porter, Eleanor Steele, Char
lotte Moody, Phyllis Robinson, George
Dinsmore, and lola Hubert.
