Farm Mobilization
The secretary OF the interior points
out to Us how government employees on
reclamation projects in tho far west arc
being ,nobillzed for farm work: how vol
unteer farmers reciprocal associations
are being formed where men who com
pletc their blowing earlier than their
nciEhhor or how the farmer Win PEI.

he finishes 10 assist his neighoor that
this spirit. Of cooperation IL spreading.
The thought suggests program mat
might be made very effective In certain
SECTIONS OF this state, especially in tho
fruit belts Then. the secretary OF labor,
urged all employees or minos ano rae
tories and mills and shops to give what
he called their broken time 10 aIu'ns
the farmer or the trucker growers IN
their respective communities n for only
an hour or two at = time. or course he
urged that whore possible they grow
food products themselves. These sus,
cesttouS we are expected TO expand and
utilize and to get before tho people In
an effective way.
State Councils Of Defense and state
executives were urged by Or. Martin. or
the advisory council. to enroll all young
physicians who are willing and compo-
tent to be serviCeable In the army. II
was pointed out TO US just what the
national council has dOne In that par
and surgeons. The first thing Mr.. Hal
four said whom no landed In this country
was: when can you send us some doc
tors" The reply the Council or Ma
tional Defense was: We will send you
5, 900 In three weeks and 200 per month
thereafter" We we're also told by DIR.
Martin that the council has enough doc
tors in reserve, now, to man new army
Of $50, 900 men. Immediately. The states
and their health authorities were urged
TO give more attention than ever TO sanl-
tation and tho public health for reasons
that are so obvious 1 need not take the
time to enumerate them.
Strong Appeals.
Strong appeals were made to us and 10
you that everything possible be done to
make each community self supporting In
food and supplies Of all kinds, SO far
as possible In order first OF all that as
many cars as possible be released on the
railroads. In order that the cars. In
stead Of hauling food products or other
supplies from one community TO another
supplies to the seaboard to be shipped
to those in Europe who arc fighting our
battles az we'll AS to transport food and
supplies for the new armies which we
are to create.
The hclplessness Of our country In
some particulars, at the outbreak Of the
war in Europe was pointed out rs an
illustration OF what each community
can do. In 4 way. In. caring for it's own
needs 1t was admitted OF course, that
tries for n great many things, without
which disaster would overtakc us. For
instance II our foreign supply Of fcrro-
manganese was cut off tho entire
Pittsburgh district would DO Idle In thir-
ty days.
At the outbreak OF tho European war
not single piece or optical glass was
made in this country. Every piece Of
GLASS that went into II lens OF any kind
whether for tho perlscone Of Il Suhma-
rine. for microscope Indispensable In
the laboratories or for the telescope
sights on the great guns Of our war
ships, was mndo in Germany. The de-.
p;Lrtment OF commerce began tn make
experiments Immediately. IT took just
twelve months TO make tho clay pots Of
peculiar construction used In moldnH
optical glass. but to-day II is being made
in abundance 1T Pittsburgh and there
arc tons of 1t on hand for immediate
use.
Ono Achievement.
Everybody knows we got our dyes
from Germany. but did not know be-
fore that the department OF commerce
worked out tho formula of II dye made
from Usage oranges heretofore regarded
as worthless and that 10000 tons of
those supposedly worthless things were
used last year in making the yellow and
brown dyes which have made those
colorN 80 fashionable and so much used
this year. Thrse suggestions Will bring
homo to us the idea that In our own
state and in our own homes many sub
Stitutes may he used succesHfully.
