The impression of a student at the

methodical way In which everything Is

Continuing. the writer says:
The present officers camps are only

and with the inestimable help Of the
draft law were putting through what
they have decided upon as the ideal

THE men In the company are an ex-
tremely interesting lot. There are q
good many militia men, who are, every
one Of them, capable and una ssuming
men. having learned much by their
border experience. Then there are tho
Plattsburgers, who are perhaps NOR
inclined to put themselves forward. but
who really have acquired much sound
military learning. There Is a sprink-

More Than 81, 900, 000, 900 Worth
Lost Yearly. Carl Vrooman Saws.

More than a billion dollars worth Of
barnyard refuse is wasted in the United
States annually, which at this time. is a
national tragedy. according to Carl vroo-
man. assistant secretary Of agriculture,
who, in q statement issued today, urges
its conservation as a war measure by
American farmers.
This IL the prize waste of champion
wastrels Of the world, the worlds greatest
single preventable economic leak" said
Mr.. Vrooman.
1.-THE experts Of our department have
figured that at least half of the animal
refuse. all Of which is available for fer
ttiizer, is lost to agriculture every year.
AT this time such waste as this is a
national tragedy In peace time the waste
would be bad enough, but with the solemn
duty OF saving the world from famine
upon US. the vital need for the utmost
economy Of this natural resource ought
to be apparent to every one Here is
job for the American farmer which ought
to challenge his pride and patriotism. II
Is not simply colossal war measure.
1t is measure which. IL put into prac-
tice, will permanently benefit American
agriculture"
