HOME GUARDS

has caught the popular favor of many
towns, and the organization has
grown rapidly in all sections of ths
state. with new organizations apply
ing for permission to organize prac-
tically every day. The work is under
the control of the state council of de-
Tense, but the commissions for Off
GERS are issued by the governor.
Adjt. Gen. Morris has been asked to
take up the work of a state organiza-
ton of the home guard along the
same lines as of the state troops who
have been called upon for service,
and will likely take up the work
soon.
One of the desires of the home
guards is for equipment, but under
present conditions only a few rifles
can be obtained, and these will be
scattered proportionately among the
companies already organized. There
are already as organizations complet-
ed, and the number will soon be UP
to so ii the rate of organization con
tinues as it has to date.

to a complete state organization they
will possibly in the future to a GER

PUMPS AND MEASURES GEN
ERALLY DEFECTIVE.

Vermillion, Oct. Especial: Re-
ports received at the office of the
state food department from the in
spector who is testing gasoline and

Yankton, IL gave short measure and
the eight others were correct within
the tolerance allowed, none giving
long measure as was the case with
two pumps at Vermillion, the first
town where measuring pumps were
tested under the amendment to the
oil inspection law. OF the jobbers in
Yankton the inspector found the
Standard Oil company to have IL
five-gallon measures. all of which
were correct but one, which was be-
ing used for measuring lubricating
oil. The Home Oil company, an in
dependent organization, with
branches in several cities of the state,
was using 10 measures, of which
IL we're condemned for being short,
OF these, nine were supposed to hold
five gallons each, one three gallons
and one two gallons. The only cor
rect measures used by this company's
agent were a one-gallon and a four
gallon can. The third jobber In
Yankton, the National Refining com

PLANT CORN IS
 EXPERTS ADVICE

Professor Slate Shows How conneeti-
 cut Can Increase Food Crops by Vast Amount if Each Farmer Will Plant
 One Additional Acre.
 GA statement to the farmers of Con- necticut by w. L. Slate, Jr-. professor of agronomy, Connecticut Agricultural college. Issued through the Connecti- cut Committee of Food Supply. >a.
 Corn is the most sensible, econom ical and patriotic crop we can grow m Connecticut this year-sensible because 1t fits our farm system, grows on most soils, requires little machinery and is practically a sure crop; economical be- cause the seed cost is small, it re- spends we'll to farm manures, there is no spraying expense and the food pro- duced is greater than any other crop we can grow; patriotic because it will go farther toward helping feed the world than any other crop we can grow.
 Corn, like other feeds, is so high that we can't afford to buy it. What will we do for grain next fall? Feed home grown corn ground with the cob. It makes excellent feed.
 What will we do if flour goes to $20 a barrel? Eat more cornmeal. Our forefathers won the Revolution on it.
 It will cost from $125 to $150 to grow an acre of potatoes properly this year. For the same outlay two or three acres of corn can be raised and at least twice as much food produced.
 It is now too late in the season to change or enlarge our plans greatly, but it is not too late to plant an extra acre of corn. Do you realize that one acre of corn on every farm in Connec- ticut means 100000 bushels of shelled corn added to our supply?
 We must win the war by fighting and by farming. Corn is the crop we can grow best. Plant another acre.
