Can Arizona Feed Herself ?

The thought of war and its prob
able effect has set the people to
thinking seriously of the real prob
lens that war may bring. The
nations store of foodstuffs is lower
now than for any corresponding
time within the last few years.
Large armies must be organized,
which means making consumers
out of producers. We have been
feeding Europe and must continue
to do So Submarines will continue
with increased vigor to sink supply
laden ships. In view of these facts.
feeding ourselves, feeding Europe,
and keeping down the high cost of
living will confront us as serious
task, Can Arizona feed herself?"
One of the most promising means
means for the production of food
stuffs is through the boys and girls
club work. Working under care
full instructions, supplied with the
very best information, and encour
aged through prize offers, Arizona's S
boys and girls can be an important
factor in making Arizona independ-
ent of any other state for such sup
plies. Coupled with such a patri-
otic movement would be other ad-
vantages, such as health giving
vegetables and greens tor the fam
lily, systematic training for youth,
beneficial exercise in the open, an
opportunity. to study the soil and
plants, profitable investment of
time and labor. If ever the time
was opportune, it certainly is now.
The agricultural extension ser
vice of the University of Arizona,
cooperating with the y. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture, extends a
helping hand, but needs local lead
ers and supervisors to launch the
work successfully.
The contest is free to join. The
age limit Is between 10 and Is
years. Interested persons should
address Leland S. Parke, state club
leader, Tucson, Arizona, for fur
ther particulars.

Like the white blackbird. the white
duck is an Albino. bird students say
Albinos occurring In many species Of
the animal kingdom just as in people.
IT has white feathers for the same
reason that the human Albino has a
chalky white skin, because the sub
stance that gives color is absent, due

red eyes of the Albino duck, like those

NEED OF TECHNICAL TRAINING.
Educators Urge Vocational Courses In
Public Schools Of lows.

Special TO Times-Republican.
Des Moines, Oct. 1.-THE war has
brought home to this nation as never
before the urgent need Of trained
young men and young women along
technical lines, Iowa educators inter-
ested In the establishment of vocation
al training courses in the public
schools now point out. A course OF
study which will At in with the school
courses and will be popular and effi-
cient is now being worked out by
Professor Cherry, OF the state super
intendents office. and special voca-
tional board.
The entrance requirements to
colleges in Iowa probably will be
alta cked by these vocational workers.
They want some changes made so that
young people looking toward college
career will not have to ignore the
trades or manual training or domestic
science in their public school work in
order to get the proper credits to enter
college.
Miss Berry. of the federal depart
ment at Washington, points out that
81 per cent OF the young women of
this country become home workers
and % per cent of them take up home
making in some form as their per-
manent work. They should therefore
receive some practical training for this,
she declares.
These educators and others inter-
ested in working out some plan for
vocational training in Iowa which will
permit the schools of this state to take
advantage OF the federal aid provided
in the Smith Hughes bill believe that
the war will result in more practical
courses in public schools. 1t demon
strates the necessity for the learning
OF trades or of learning to do some one
practical thing well. they declare.
