A WORLDS VANISHING
MEAT SUPPLY.

~ HE new Food Administra-
VI ton, by a startling sum-
mary of the decrease of
meat animals, points its staten
ment that this is a problem
that America must meet. not
only during the war but after it
has ended" The nations at
war, friend and foe, and the
reutrals cannot.
Since the war began, cattle
in the United States have in
creased by 100000. But that
growth of II per cent was off
set by a decrease elsewhere of
35,170,O00, leaving a deficit of
.28,0S0.000. with millions of
soldiers and women doing haro
work demanding beef as never
before.
Sheep decreased even here
by 6 per cent, or 100000; in
the world by 54,5OO,O00. Hogs
have increased here 9 peer cent
or 6.275,OOO, but the world
supply has shrunk by 80. 425,-
900. And pork is invaluable in
fighting off tuberculosis.
The situation will grow
worse as Europe is denuded of
fodder and drained of the labor
and the soil restoratives that
farming demands. The armies
are using wool and leather in
soldiers clothing and shoes at
an unexamDled rate, leaving
civilians to lack.
This state of affairs puts a
double duty upon Americans.
The consumer can eat less
meat. often with physical bene-
fit. alwavs to the relief Of his
purse. He can have his old
shoes patched. The farmer
need have no fear of loss for
years to come if he increases
his live stock ventures. In
particular. much of the bumper
corn crop must be turned into
pOrkSas its most transportable
| form. Corn, as corn, does not
travel much.
And while consumer and
producer turn to the task that
confronts both, the Food Adj
ministration need not lost sight
of the specUlator, who preys up
on the worlds necessity.-New

FARM MACHINERY RUSTS OUT
Much Waste May Be Stopped by Prop
er sheIterino and Keeping Things
in Good Repair.

More machinery rusts out than
wears out. More machinery is thrown
away on account of a few parts giving
out than because of the wearing out
OF the entire machine. Who pays the
bill? Who keeps the many large ma
chinery concerns in business? The
farmer.
When other lines of business are
slack or dead, there is practically no
decrease in the manufacture of farm
machinery, because the farmer is a
steady buyer and always in the field
for another machine or for some new
type of farm machinery.
How waste may be stopped: 1. BY
more careful selection. 2. BY buying
from reliable dealers and manufacture
ers. 3. By keeping machinery in re-
pair. 4. BY sheltering machinery when
not in use.

TO ERADICATE QUACK GRASS
Rye and veteh Recommended by Wis
consin Station-Can Be Used for
Green Manure or Hay.

Experiments at the Wisconsin sta
ton show the following to be a sue
cessful treatment for quack grass
where the acreage is too large for sum-
mer following:
After the grain is harvested pillow
and thoroughly prepare the seeded
then sow rye and vetch at the rate
of two bushels of the former and 20
to 80 pounds of the latter to the acre.
Both the rye and vetch are quick to
sprout and will come up before the
quack grass gets chance to recover.
Winter vetch makes an abundant fall
growth and covers the ground like a
carpet. In the spring both the rye and
vetch will resume growth at rapid
rate, until at corn planting time these
crops will be from two to three feet
high. Whereupon the rye and vetch
can be turned under for green manure
or cut for hay, and the land planted
to cultivated crop at once, with slight
chances Of quack grass making an ap-
pearance.
Like clover and alfalfa, vetch is
legume and as such is valuable as a
soil improver by means of the nitro
gen 1t takes from the air and restores
to the soil through its roots. Hence
the vetch-rye treatment for quack
grass can be recommended as doubly
useful.

Marshall Has a Distinction.

In getting job as vice president
back, Thomas r. Marshall shares with
John Adams and Daniel Tompkins the
distinction Of being the only vice pres
ident reelected to that position with
the same president. In other words,
neither successful party at an election
has ever elected the same ticket twice
except in the cases of George Wash
ington and John Adams, James Mon
roe and Daniel Tompkins, and Wood
row Wilson and Thomas r. Marshall.
OF the two-term presidents, Jefferson
had with him in the vice presidential
chair Burr and Clinton; Madison had
Clinton and Gerry; Andrew Jackson
had Calhoun and Van Buren,; Lincoln
had Hannibal Hamlin and Andrew
Johnson; Grant had Schuyler Colfax
and Henry Wilson, the latter dying in
office; Cleveland had Hendricks in his
first election and Adai Stevenson IN
his second. and Mckinley first Hobart
and then Roosevelt.-New York Post.

WOOD LOT VERY CONVENIENT
Important Feature of Agriculture and
Worthy of More Attention From
All Farmers.

Every farm should have a small
wood lot. Forestry on the farTn is to-

attention from farmers. A wood lot
is very convenient to have, not only as
a source Of fuel in times Of scarce ana

posts and timber for various uses and
to add beauty to the landscape and
premises, and afford shade, shelter and
comfort to large extentafor all the

BY MINORITY Vote
MANY OF THE PRESIDENTS HAVE

Garfield, for Instance, Had Less Than
Eight Thousand Majority Over Gen.
Hancock-Many Other Nora-
BILE instances in History.

Many of our presidents have been
elected by minority OF the popular
votes cast in elections when they were
candidates. In his first race for the
office Abraham Lincoln was elected by
minority of the popular vote, the
Knoxville Journal and Tribune re-
marks. While Douglass was given but

were given Breckenridge in the same
election; he had but 845, 763 OF the
popular vote.
In his first race Grant had PA cleo
tOral votes but his majority over
Horatio Seymour in the popular vote
was but $685. 456. In his second race
Grant had a large popular majority
over Horace Greeley. Greeley died
before the meeting of the electoral col
lege and AZ electoral votes were count
ed for Thomas A. Hendricks OF Indf-
ana, against 286 for Grant.
In 1876 the popular vote for Samuel

Rutherford B. Hayes, and the electoral
vote stood 185 for Hayes and 1874 for
Tilden. ..s i, 46s
In 1880 James A. Garfield received
but 7,018 more of the popular vote cast
than Gen. w. S. Hancock, but Garfield
had 214 electoral votes to 155 for Han
cock. 49,
At the election held in 1888 Benja-
min Harrison had a majority of 9S,Ol7
of the popular votes and PIC of the
electoral vote to 155 for Grover Cleve-
land. In 1892, with the same two can
didates pitted against each other, Gro
yer Cleveland had plurality Of the
popular vote of 62,6S3 and the elec-
toral vote was 219 for Cleveland to
145 for Harrison. That year Gen.
James B. Weaver, running as green
back candidate, was given % electoral
votes.
In 1896 the candidates were William
Mckinley and William j. Bryan. Nc
Kinley was given plurality of the
vote cast amounting to 601,854, but
his electoral vote was PIT to 176 for
Bryan. With the same candidates in
the year 1900, Mckinley had a plural

DOUBLES EGG Harvest


The. use of milk in feeding
chickens will double. egg pro
ductiOn, according to the poultry
section of the Nebraska expert
ment station. The hen never lays
an egg until all the ingredients
necessary for the complete devel-
opment of chick are present.
Since the egg contains protein as
well as carbohydrates, any
amount of carbohydrates fed In
the form of grain will not offset
the necessity of protein. Milk
given to the birds, either as
drink or in the form of wet
mash, will double egg yields.
Commercial meat scrap is Of
equal value, and may be sub
stituted when milk cannot be OBJ
tanned.

NO PROSPECTS FOR LOWER FOOL
PRICES

If we could forecast the future ev-
en- for the space of one year ahead we
would no doubt make some amazing
discoveries. One piece of informa-
ton, however, is being forced upon our
attention without our being gifted
with any extraordinary foresight 1t
is that during at least the next II
months there will be no material re-
ductiOn in the cost of living.
Already we are experiencing war
prices for foodstuffs without being at
war. What the situation will be be-
fore another crop is harvested is a
matter to be pondered with misgiv-
ings Should this country become en-
tangled in the war which now seems
jnevita BILE, the situation will not be
improved Even with prices as they
are many grave questions are con-
fronting us.
,Tahe, for instance, that of seed for
planting With potatoes wholesaling
at from $3.50 to SO per bushel, can
ford the enormous outlay to plant an
acreage sufficient to surpass the crop
of 1915, or even to equal it? If the
crop is not increased we can hardly
look for a reduction in price-unless
tie government jails the INSCRIPTIONS
food Spectators.
VIII the usual acreage of spring
wheat and oats be sown, with these
grains at their almost prohibitive
prices? Or will the farmer figure
that he can clean up enough profit on
smaller crop? Even the good house
wifes onion patch is in danger of
shrinkage, owing to the enormous rise
in the price Of this vegetable.
To make the situat, on more serious
still, advices are that southern farm
ers are preparing for a record crop
OF cotton Agricultural papers and
those connected with the agricultural
departments have been insistent in
rather than increase the cotton acre
age. But IS and 20-cent cotton is in
tCNicating, and it is doubtful if the
southern farmers can be prevented
from letting go everything else in
order TO make killing on cotton
South course would have the eff
feet of reducing the souths produc-
ton of foodstuffs below normal, thus
further complicating the food situa-
ton.
1t could be reminded, however, if
cur people would get one idea fixed
in their minds, that our lands must |
be made to produce more. 1t is the [
age-Old law of supply and demand |
which, barring the activities of the |
tain an equitable balance. That the !
scarcity of an article enhances its !,
value, is a law as immutable as
those governing the seasons. +
1t should be the first apd greatest
duty of every citizen of this country
during the coming year to see that
every available foot of land under his
control be made to produce some
,rop Food crops are preferable, but
some crop should be raised.
. Conservation and increase of food
,rops is the only thing that con re-
ieve the situation-except to Jail the
peculators.
