FOOD PRODUCTION ARMY.
Enlistment fGrcat Body of Men and
Boys Approved.

Washington, April 13.-Proposals
for an enlistment of an army of p
10000 men and boys for agricultur'
al service and other drastic steps to
increase food production during the
war were given enthusiastic encour-
agement at the Department of Ag-
riculture to-day. Secretary Houston
ordered wide publicity given to re-
solutions adopted at the recent st.
Louis conference of agriculture eX-
perts looking to production OF great
er crops as an emergency measure.
They recommended that Congress APP
propriate 100000 for use by the
Secretary of Agriculture in such a
campaign.
1t is recommended that boys under
military age and men beyond the age
and those physically disqualified
should be enrolled in the national
army for labor in production of food,
munitions and supplies. Other rec
concentrations are for creation of an
agricultural body under the Council
of National Defense TO supervise ag-
ricultural matters, and for the vest
ing of wide authority in the Secretary
OF Agriculture to regulate and stand
ardize food production and distribu-
ton.

Germany and other European coun-
tries than in America. In Europe
farming lands are high priced while
labor is cheap. In America lands
are cheap while labor is very high
priced. The nation that posses cheap
land and high-priced labor always
grow smaller crops than those where
land is high and labor cheap. To
carry this comparison farther II is
only necessary to mention the fact
that in Japan fine farming land sells
for fabulous sums while labor is
worth only few cents per day. Und-
er these conditions the above rule
holds good. The crops are relatively
larger than those grown in Europe.

New Lincoln story.

Abraham Lincoln, as everybody
knows, was long and lanky; Stephen
A. Douglas was short and chubby.
Their presence together at a county
seat on one occasion gave the other
lawyers, in an idle hour, an oppor-
tunity to chaff them indirectly. Thus,
the conversation was turned to the
question of harmonious physical
proportions. Some, having Douglas
in view, contented for short legs;
others, meaning to draw Lincoln out,
contented for long legs. Neither of
the intened butts" took part in the
discussion, until one OF the jokers
turned TO Lincoln and said: Now,
Abe, what is your opinion of the
proper length of mans legs?' Nj

PRUNE AND SPRAY ORCHARDS
Neglected Fruit Trees About Most Un- profitable Thing on Farm-Test
 at Missouri College.

Does orchard pruning and spraying pay? The answer is found in the re- suits of cooperative experiments con ducted by the College of Agriculture in 40 Missouri orchards. These ex- periments extended over period of three years. They show first, that a neglected orchard is about the most improbable thing on the farm second, that the best managed orchards in Missouri are producing more profit per acre than any other farm crop.
 The average returns per acre of these 40 orchards during the last three years has been as follows: Properly pruned and sprayed areas. total re- ceived. $176 per acre; net profit, S143 per acre. Untreated ereas, total re- ceived. SIS per acre; net profit, noth- ing
 In order to obtained fecords oe the results part of eaelT orchard was al lowed to remain in it's previous condi- tion-not pruned and not sprayed. The experiments, in view of the results ob- tained, show conelusively the advan- tages of renovation.

moth emerges from the cocoon to be- gin laying its eggs about the little fruit.
 Each female lays on the aver age from 40 to 90 eggs, so if only few of these ehrysalises or hybernating larvae are destroyed the number of eggs to be deposited will be greatly re- duced. large per cent of the win tering larvae can be destroyed by scraping all round bark from the trees, especially in and about the crotches of the trees. If the seraping is done dur ing the winter the larvae not killed in the process will be destroyed by the ex- posture and the birds.
 The sooner fruit growers come to realize that this method of fighting this pest is almost as important as thorough spraying, the sooner will they begin to grow larger per cent of worm-free fruit.
