Twenty one days were spent on the farms of seven co-operators belonging to the COW testing association assist the coming year, in balancing the ra- tion for their herds in field tests to determine the food nutrients of rough = age or grain grown, showing in the majority of cases that it was lack of system or good farm management and not the fault. of the farming industry that was the existing cause of the nu- nerous losses.

HAVE YOU DONE IT?

Have you lived and loved and wor-
SHIPPED
AS the days have come and gone?
Have you tried to ease the burdens
OF some sorrowful-forlorn?
Have you carried love and roses
Trying just to ease up pain?
If you have, you're in the knowledge
You have never lived in vain.
Life to some has lost its sweetness
AS the days have come and gone;
They have missed the golden beauty
That has hallowed every morn.
They have walked in robes of mourn
ing,
Giving up to grief and pain;
Life to them has proved a failure
They have lived, but oh, in vain.
Have you carried hope and courage
Into days that had no sun?
Have you frightened up a corner
Where a grief has just begun?
Have you made fallen brother
Feel that someone cared for him?
Have you caused golden sunbeam
To light up pathway dim?
Have you lived and loved and wor-
SHIPPED
AS the days have come and gone?
Have you tried to ease the burdens
OF some orrowful-forlorn?
Have you carried love and roses
To soul in grief and pain?
If you have, you're in the knowledge
You have never lived in vain.

THE FOOD SIDE OF WAR

Six weeks of food administration
have shown definite results. The
housewife buying her supplies is
likely to judge food control by such
details as the price of bread, flour,
meat, sugar, ETC., and some complaint
is heard because no startling reduc-
tions in prices have been seen. But
prices have been stabilized and pre-
vented from further skyrocketing,
which is one of the first objects in
food control under war conditions.
Business men Of the country, cooper
ating with the food administration,
have arranged to operate under Ii
censes, eliminate speculation in food
stuffs, handle the principal food sta
Piles at reasonable margins of profit,
and prevent overcharging, even when
the supply is far below the demand.
War brings food problems of kind
unknown in peace. The fighting world,
neglecting production, soon gets hun
cry. There is not enough food to go
around. Prices advance, not only be-
cause food is scarce, but because mon
ey is disturbed, and has less purchas-
ing power.
There are only two ways in which
the world can adjust itself to the food
problem in war. One is by advancing
wages as prices rise, method which
not only causes industrial warfare,
suffering and injustice, but bears hard
upon millions of workers who cannot
increase their incomes-the clerks and
professional men and unorganized
