REDFIELD DEFENDS
. CENSUS ESTIMATE
MADE FOR DRAFT

Abnormal shifting of population to
munitions making communities since
the outbreak OF the war was given
by Secretary OF Commerce Redfield
today as one OF the explanations Of
the pulling census estimates which
have stirred up dissatisfaction In
many parts OF the country.
Secretary Redfield made the state
ment in a letter to the Senate in
response to a resolution by Senator
Brandegee OF Connecticut, adopted
several days ago.
The assumption that the proper
ton which the registrants in any
county or city represent OF its total
population Is the same throughout
the United States may not be true"
said Secretary Redheld. but the only
way to ascertain the true proportion
for each geographical unit would be
to make an actual enumeration OF its
population. The proportion of 1910,
as shown by the decennial census
varied considerably in different parts
OF the country. being greater as a
rule in the newer than in the older
sections, and greater in cities than In
rural localities.
Because OF the abnormal shifting
OF population which has taken place
among certain parts of the country N
recent years and particularly since
the outbreak OF the war gave so great
an impetus to the manufacturing Of
munitions and other commodities
needed by the belligerents. the pro-
portion which men twenty-one to thir-
ty years of age. inclusive, represent
of the total population of many To-
calities has changed greatly since
1910.
"For this reason the assumption
that the proportions existing in 1910
still prevail would result in very in
accurate estimates for some local.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 10.-The
United States government is not going
to turn it's disabled soldiers out into
the world to make their living as best
they may. When they are rendered I'M
fit for service through facing the haz-
ards of war, they are to be educated
for some line of work which will allow
for their disability and it Will all be
done at government expense, accord
ing to announcement by the western
department of the army here.
Regular vocational courses for the
blind, the halt, and the lame are to be
established in all parts of the country.
When the men have finished these
courses they will be enabled to go in
to the world we'll equipped to. make
their own living. ".+ -*~> ..= z
During this term of re-education the
government will allow the men their
full army pay and their families will
also be provided for. Further legisla-
ton is expected outlining the re-edu-
cation plan more particularly.
1t will be the first time the govern
ment has entered on the re-education-
al plan on large scale. This work Is
being done to some extent in veter.
ans homes, but it will be better sys-
tematized and will be made to include
many more Vocations.
in brief, the government is to con-
duct business college of nation wide
scope, for the exclusive benefit OF the
men disabled in the war. 1t will not
only educate the man, but will make
every effort to have him properly plac-
ed in some useful enterprise that
will guarantee him decent living nm
til his usefulness has ceased,
In many respects the re-education
plan will follow the continental
scheme, but there will be many new
lines of industry for the disabled,
which are peculiarly pertinent to
American life. r--~- ~>.~s - SIS.
One of the leaders. in the govern
ment's re-education campaign is s. s..
Rowe, assistant secretary of the treas
ury. He has advised all of the principal
army and navy executives of the plan,
and has urged them to let the country
at large know as much as possible

SELF-FEEDERS USED
FOR FATTENMG PIGS
Most Economical Plan to Finish
OF Porkers for Market
Much Waste Eliminated.

tBy I. W. CARPENTER. Mississippi A.
and NJ. College,
II Is to the interest OF farmers hav-
ing hogs to be finished, either for
market or butchering this winter, to
get them ready In the quickest and
most economical way, since the prices
Of feedstuffs are SO high. This can
best be done by putting the hogs on
self-feeder with corn In one com
partment and either tankage or cot
tonseed meal in the other. A self
feeder Is nothing more than a hopper
which allows the feed to come down
MS needed by the hogs, and at the
same time prevents waste, as 1t Is
necessary for the feed already down
to be eaten away before any more
comes down. These feeders can be
made on almost any farm out OF scrap
lumber II necessary.
Self.feeders pay, even though there
are only few hogs to be fed. They
have uniformly given better results
than hand feeding, both at the expert
ment station and on farms In Mlssis-
sippl. Hogs not only make larger
daily gains. but the same amount OF
feed will make much more pork. This
evidently can be accounted for Dy
the fact that the hog was allowed to
eat at will, consequently never
gorged Itself. thus enabling 1t to d.
gest Its food more thoroughly.
For the greatest and most econom-
ical gains 1t is essential to have either
tankage or cottonseed meal In addi-
ton to corn. as this gives the needed
balanced ration, It will also harden
pork faster than corn alone. As long
ms there is corn In the self-feeder,
there Is no danger Of the hogs eating
enough cottonseed meal to injure them.
In addition to the feeds In the self
feeder the hogs should be given plenty
of fresh water and dry quarters to
sleep in, as 1t is impossible for them
TO do their best in a filthy pen. Too
the best quality of pork will not be
secured from hogs In filthy pens.
