Speed Up Piq Production.

Don't send all the brood sows to
market this summer as grass wild
ows." is the advice of the extension
animal husbandrymen at Iowa State
college. Mark the sows. that have pro
duced the largest and best spring lit
tiers and which have cared for them
the best. Feed these sows and their
pigs well. Wean the pigs early. Sows
handled in this way may be bred for
early fall pigs and should produce
strong filters. Well grown gifts OF
last falls farrow may be used to good
advantage in fall pig production. Hav'
ing produced no spring filters they
may be bred as early as desired. They
will then be in good shape to produce
their second filters next spring.

WAR CAMP. COMMUNITY SERVICE
SUBSCRIBE THIS WEEK,

''The enlisted man is bound to 60 out
side his camp or post, whenever the op-
portunity affords itself. He goes to the
neighboring community seeking rest and
recreation and that is when we want to
be with him and protect him from evil
influences. We do not want to accom-
pany him in the guise of policeman, a
moral instructor or anything of that ma
ture. We simply aim to surround him
with an environment in communities ad-
jacent to the camps and posts which will
be so conducive toward clean living,
mentally and physically that evil tempta-
ton will be practically eliminated. That
environment will consist of home hospi-
tality, club houses, swimming pools, out
door and indoor athletics, professional
and amateur theatrical entertainments
and such other forms of amusement and
recreation that appeal to young red blood
ed soldiers.
"We can provide our fighting men with
those advantages only if the public will
contribute the funds, which for one year
amount to $4,0OO,O 900. In other words,
So for each soldier and sailor will do the
work.
''That the plans of War Camp Com
munity Service advocates are most feasi-
BILE is evidenced in the way prominent
public men and military officers have en-
dorsed them. Not only Secretary Baker
and Secretary Daniels are lending active
support to the work, but such men as
Col. Roosevelt, Mai. Gen. Leonard Wood
and others equally we'll known are back
of us in the work.
''The War Department and Navy De-
partment Commissions on Training Camp
Activities will supervise the expenditure
of the funds when they have been COL
lected,"
