FARMERS WHO MISSED FIRST
HAVE CHANCE ON SECOND
Campaign for New Bond Issus Begins
When Crops Are Marketable and
Ready Money 10 st Hand.

IN the nrst Liberty Loan campaign.
many OF the farmers Of the country
were not reached. and subscriptions
from rural committees were few.
There were several reasons for this.
tbs foremost Of which was that the
loan was put out in the spring, when
they were busy with their crops, and
Il was difficult for the canvassers to
Interview them. Then. too. they had
10 borrow money for their planting.
Now their crops are in, and at the
present high price OF foodstuffs they
should have q large sum of money in
their hands. For loan Of portion
Of that money. the Liberty Bond cam
paigners are now appealing all over
the country. The various farm bu-
reaus and societies are cooperating
and good results are expected.
Albert R. Mann. dean Of the New
York College Of Agriculture. Is one OF
those who have been active In this
work. Speaking of the loan and the
farmers share In II. he said:
when liberty came to America the
farmer helped to bring It. He bore
the gun. he contributed unsparingly
Of his substance. he fed the armies.
In the present struggle for universal
liberty. am sure that he will do no
less. He has already made splendid
response to the demand for greater
food production. look with conf
dence on his generous contribution to
the Liberty Loan.
THE nrst loan largely overlooked
the farmer-the efforts were concen-
tratsd In the cities. The second cam
paign should give every opportunity
for farmers as individuals and In their
organizations to support the govern
ment in Its financial program. Il 10
the highest expression Of American
ism that all the people should help
carry the common load in this crit
zeal hour"

Adamson Prepared
For War Emergency

The Fire Department has made ex-
traordinary plans for meeting the emer-
gency in the event Of war. Fire Com
missioner Adamson appeared yesterday
before the. special committee of the
Board of Aldermen on home defence
and pointed out that his department
might be confronted with greater re-
sponsibilities in case of war than any
other city department. He said that
the Fire Department had been in COM
munication with the Secretary of War
with a view 20 establishing more strln-
gent supervision over the shipment OF
munitions. particularly in New Jersey
"The greatest danger would un-
doubtedly be along the river front, y
said Commissioner Adamson. During
the last wear about 81 900 900, 900 more
in shipments went from this port than
the year before. and the fire loss in
this particular territory increased ST.
100000. In case Of undue trouble the
waterfront would have to be well pro-
tected. The department has made pro-
vision. for this by dividing the water
front into ten zones. Every railroad
company entering the city is cOoperat-
ing with the department, and their fire
boats are assigned to particular zones,
so that in case of fire the railroad COM
pany would be Immediately notified,
and at least two Of their boats would
respond to each alarm"
Commissioner Adamson also said
that the Standard Oil Company, the
jag Street Terminal Railroad Company.
OF Brooklyn, and the Bush Terminal
were likewise cooperating.
More than 1000 volunteer firemen in
Oreens have received confidential no
tics from the presidents OF their So
c,sties. stating they will be expected
10 take the place Of regular fremen
IN Queens in case OF war or other ex-
IRENE emergency. Il is understood
these men would be used TO replace
resula- men, who would be rushed %
Manhattan and Brooklyn 20 reinforce
