Three Important Steps
That Should Be Taken
CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE,

tries Of the necessity Of feeding them.
ought to be brought out Of the COM
mittee at once and become a law
or go to the waste paper basket.
We cannot build one ship in the
course Of the next few days, nor raise
one bushel of wheat, nor grow one
onion, but we could have the Ger
man prisoners started for this coun-
try, and that would be tantnmount to
making ships carry double, and by so
much lessening the bushels and
bushels OF wheat and the tons and
tons. Of onions that have to be carried
to England and France.
II is IN no carping spirit of criti
cism that ofter suggestion TO the
man at whose back the whole nation
stands united. He will greatly ex-
pediats the conduct Of the war II,
for the blind trust and confidence
. which he demands Of the Congress for
himself. he will give the Congress or
at least its respectable members, a lit
tie OF his own trust and confidence IN
return.
Congress is getting pretty sick OF
voting In the dark
Is your Senator on the Committee
for Naval Affairs? Ask him IL he
knows what the navy Is doing to get
itself ready for war. He would be
obliged to tell you that he does not
know. Is he on the Committee of
Foreign Anfairs9 Ask him II he knows
why the English and French commits
sions came to this country and ex-
actly what they want US to do for
them. He will be obliged to tell you
that he does not know.
It is his business to know; but he
has about as much chance of finding
out as you or I have.
He does not know what Is going on
IN the departments; he does not know
how the s., 900, 100000 which he has been
commanded to raise are going to be
spent. And there is only one thing
Of which he feels reasonably sure:
That If he now rebels against the
secretiveness of the administration; II
he rebels against casting one more
blind vote. his constituents who have
ordered him to stand by the Presi-
dent will at once punish him with
abuse and insults; and that II he does
not now forthwith rebel against these
things, his constituents at some fu-
ture date when they have begun to
feel some Of the weight of the S7,00O,-
900. 900, and when perhaps they have
begun to bury their dead, will cause
his political downfall.
He is between the devil and the deep
sea and from this intolerable situation
the President only can extricate him.
And that is something that the Presi-
dent could do at once. He could
make a beginning OF trusting some of
the trustworthy legislators who have
so tremendously trusted him.

FARM ARMY PLANNED BY
DEPT. OF AGRICULTURE
Distribution of Labor Awaits Action
by Congress.

The Department of Agriculture an
nouneed yesterday afternoon that Il had
completed its plans for supplying farm
labor and now only Is waiting for Con-
gress to furnish funds to carry out the
work Within a few days machinery will
be put in motion to enroll every avail
able worker for the farm and to provide
distribution OF labor.
william J. Spillman. chief Of the Office
OF Farm Management, explained that the
department now is hampered because
there are only 1,3O0 county agents for
the $500 agricultural counties.
A representative of the Department of
Agriculture will be appointed In each
State. preferably a member OF State
councils OF defense or food committees,
where such committees exist.
Under these State supervisors will be
the county agents, who are paid partly
by the Federal government and partly by
the States.
Under the county agents will be COM
munity agents. These are the men who
will come In direct contact with farmer
and worker. The latter will ascertain
the labor needs of the farmers and at
tend to the enrolment of workers.
In communities where there is a sur
plus OF labor the community agent will
shift this surplus to another community.

TIMELY REMARKS ON
SPRAY PREPARATION
Power Pump Should Be Used If
Best Results Are Expected
High Pressure Needed.

The following timely remarks are
taken from letter sent out TO super
inteudcnts Of Ohio state institutions
by y. w. Moore, horticulturlst of the
Ohio board OF administration.
1.-THE power pump Is the pump to
use lf results are wanted The argu-
ment used at some Of the institutions
by those IN charge Of the work has
been that there is plenty of hand
power on labor power and 1t Is eco
nomlcal to use It.. This sounds well,
but If the practical orchardist were
consulted. he would say that the
hand pump aside from the labor of
running It, is an expensive PROPOSE
tion, rs ii Is almost impossible TO
maintain the pressure necessary Of
fcctiyely ana economically TO cover
all parts Of the tree or plant; and
when all parts are not covered, the
application will count for little.
success depends first upon the
material used Second upon the APP
pllcation, which means thoroughnoss,
The thoroughness that is necessary
can only DE obtained with a heavy
pressure all the time; not 100 or 900
pounds for awhile, then 20 or so
pounds Such a pressure will not
force the liquid into all the cracks
and creyices; and where some are
missed, scale and fungous diseases
viii be found lurking, ready again to
take possession Of the plant as
soon rs weather conditions are favor
able.
IF anything Is TO be done along
this lire, II Is time the spray outfits
were ordered, Spray material should
be on the way soon, as the clean up
or dormant spray should be applied
before growth begins. This is true
of either tree or vine"

Proper action I'm the draft horse is
important, according to David Gray,
assistant in animal husbandry in the
Kansas State Agricultural college. Size
and power are of little value If the
horse has not enough agility to han
die his big weight in a manner yield
ing the greatest efficiency.
"Actlon of the draft horse should
be clean, bold, and rather stylish" said
Mr.. Gray. "In moving, the feet should
be carried forward and back in u
straight line, without padding wing
ing, or other irregularity of gait. In
order to get the best and greatest
stride with the least energy 1t is alb
solutely necessary that the feet move
straight and smooth without defects
Of gait.
Knee action In the draft horse Is
not of great importance. A long stride
which covers considerable ground is
much more important than high knee
action, as ability to cover ground Is
what is wanted.

"The walk is the important gait. 1t
should be snappy and true with good
length of stride. The action of all
four legs should be strong and the
movement of the knees and hooks free
without indication of dragging or stiff
ness.
Action In Trotting.
at Is essential to note an animals
action In trotting, because defects In
action are>more perceptible when trot-
ting than when walking, although the
walk is more important from work

dustrial and church organizations.
The outstanding result of the con-
ference was the completion Of an or
ganization of Utah's agricultural
units looking toward greater agricul-
tural production and efficiency. A
central committee was formed com
posed of the Board of County Chair
men and representatives, yet to be
named, from many Industrial and ag-
ricultural interests Of the state Pres
ident T.. G Peterson was appointed
executive chairman Of this commit
tee. In case President Peterson can
not find time to -, the Board Of
Trustees is to fiji the Office from the
College faculty j. Edward Taylor,
formerly secretary Of the State Hor-
.ticutural Commission, was appointed
executive secretary, while the central
committee will have general super
vision OF the statewide organization,
the above mentioned officers, acting in
connection with smaller executive
committee, will carry on the active
work of organization This commit
tee will work through the county ag-
ents and farm bureaus, where such
exist In other cases, the county
chairmen will see to the organization
of body similar to the Farm Bureau
within the next week, to undertake
the details Of local organization.
That the situation is indeed serious
developed during the meeting when
it became apparent when reports from
various parts Of the state were heard,
that there is an almost general short
age of seed throughout Utah and that
many food products are running dan
gerously low. President Peterson de-
clared that the nation is approaching
a period of want, unless we conserve
the food supply and that even in Utah
it is not remote probability that,
within the next six months, we shall
lack many of the necessaries of life.
"The problem before u.s." continued
President Peterson, at to secure and
disseminate information having to do
with our agricultural resources. If
and County has a surplus of seed po-
tatoes, it must be made known to
counties that lack. We must know
where available acreage is that can
be used to increase our production.
The organization of the Agricultural
College is well fitted to aid in this
work, and it viii be placed at the dis
posal Of the state in this crisis. The
financial side Of the problem can be
successfully met. The banks Of Salt
Lake City have promised, unquali-
fedly, that any farmer who can Sc
cure the approval Of some man 'des-
ignated by this organization today,
can borrow all the money he needs to
secure seed or put in his crop"
