fall and winter months organizers will

EN- the federal government has pro-
vided funds TO assist counties in en-
ploying home demonstration agents
who Will have headquarters within the
county and conduct classes and dem
onstrations in food economy. Three
such agents are already employed In
Ottawa, OntonagOn and Houghton
counties, and many other counties are
In line for the work.
A limited number of city food agents
will be employed to work in the inter
est Of food economy in the large con
Stunning centers. The cities of Flint
and Saginaw have already made ar
rangements to cooperate In the en-
ployment of agents, and other cities
are Considering the proposition.
1t has been determined that extern
sion schools and Institutes conducted
by the extension staff of the college
this season shall all aim to anticipate
the problems of another war season.
Extension schools viii be two days in
length rather than four as In previous
years, in order that more places can
be reached. Institutes will largely be
in the nature of n local community
conference on needs and plans for the
next crop season.
During this year over 10000 boys
and girls have been Registered in ag-
ricultural clubs, and have done their
bit in producing food. This work has
also been recognized by the federal
government, and funds have been pro-
vided to reach large numbers during
another season.
Michigan can well be proud of her
accomplishments this year in produc-
ing food during season which In
many ways has been unfavOrable.
However, it must be kept in mind that
our goal is not yet reached and that
food" will continue as the great vital
issue as long as there is a battle line

BOYS AND GIRLS PRODUCERS
Clubs Throughout the State Have
Greatly Increased Food

BY E. C. LlNDEMANN,
State Boys and Girls Club Leader,
Michigan Agricultural College.

East Lansing, Mich.-The 10000
boys and girls of Michigan who an
swered the challenge for greater food
production are beginning to make their
reports. These boys and girls are
members of clubs organized and super
vised by the Michigan Agricultural
college. Last year there were 5000
club members and they produced near
ly $4,000 in value of food products.
It is estimated that this years mem
bers will produce nearly half million
dollars in food value. At an exhibit
i'm Schoolcraft county recently little
girl who won the canning club cham
pionship stated that she had already
canned 227 quarts of vegetables for
winter use. One club of "a girls has
canned nearly 1000 quarts. In ali
sections of the state these clubs are
holding their annual exhibits and these
exhibits indicate that the boys and
girls have carried out their projects
with large measure of success.

BENEFITS OF FALL FLOWING
FaIl-Plowed Lands Help to Conserve
Moisture-Has Other Distinct
Advantages.
BY c. n. SUBWAY,
Soils Department Michigan Agrieul-
turaI COLLEGE.

East Lansing, Mich.-Proper plow-
Ing, as every farmer knows, is one OF
the most essential factors In success
full soil management. Except on soils
that are blown by the wind and on
steep hillsides where fall and early
spring rains wash the soil badly, fall
blowing has many distinct advantages
over spring blowing. Whenever pos
slble fall blowing should be done be-
fore fall rains set in to give the land
an opportunity to catch and absorb
rainfall and hold Ii for the following
crop. The uneven surface of fall
plowed land also catches water result
ing from melting snow. An expert
ment performed at the Michigan ex-
pertinent station showed that fall
plowed land contained more water
available for an oat crop the follow
ing year than spring-plowed land, and
the yield of oats was increased over
nine bushels per acre by the fall plow-
ing. In wet springs the difference
would probably not be so great From
the standpoint of winter storage of
moisture fall blowing will be found
more advantageous when the follow
Ing spring is relatively dry. Freezing
and thawing of fall-plowed land. par
ticularly heavy soils, helps to break
down the clods and tends to put soils
in better physical condition for plant
growth. The packing effects of heavy
spring rains, however, may destroy
the beneficial effects Of freezing and
thawing and should packing from rains
occur the land should be worked as
soon as practicable to prevent drying
and hardening OF the soil. The saving
of time and labor required for spring
blowing by blowing In the fall is also
an important item now that farm help
is scarce.
Light soils that blow and soils on
steep slopes that wash lose fertility
when fall plowed because the fine
particles are removed somewhat by
blowing and washing, and this loss In
fertility nay easily Offset the advan-
tages gained. Successful farmers
sometiman say that heavy soils should
be plowed in the fall and light soils in
the spring, but aside from the excep-
lions noted fall or early spring plow-
Ing viii probably give the best results
under aYcrnge weather conditions.

Food Problem Grows More Serious as

BY ROBERT J. BALDWIN,
Director of Extension Work Michiqan
Agricultural COLLEGE.


East Lansing, Mich.-The plans of
the Michigan Agricultural college ex-
tension division for the coming win
ter's work are being made In accord
ance with requests from the federal
government that all effort be confined
to the food problems resultant from
war needs. 1t Is anticipated that the
same problems encountered during the
present season will have to be met in
even more acute form next year !;
namely, farm labor, seed, fertilizer and
credit. In addition, the more technical
problems of agriculture such as crop
culture, control of diseases and pests,
drainage and animal feeding will be
given more attention than formerly.
During the present season aid has
been given through the 80 regular
county agricultural agents and the SO
emergency agricultural agents located
In the various counties. The emergen-
cy agents were assisted in their work
by temporary county committeeman
who helped to locate and distribute the
available supply of labor, seed, etc.
The success of the effort has influ-
enced the federal government to pro-
vide funds from which most liberal
offers can be made to the unorganiZed
counties to employ county agricultural
agents. 4 great many county boards
of supervisors have already appropri-
ated funds TO cooperate with the gov
eminent in employing agents who
