havf been made under the direction of the signal department of the road. One locomotive has been equipped and this engine makes three round trips with passenger train each day over the section of road where the appa- ratus is installed. The principal ap- paratus is contained in rectangular box about 1 foot square fixed on the front Of the engine.
 The apparatus has been operated regularly except during considerable periods when the locomotive had to be used in freight service, and other periods of considerable length when the apparatus was taken off and car ried to the shop to have changes made in some minor details, or for re- pairs necessitated by damage done when the engine was on other parts of the road.
 '"The enginenan has made regular daily reports and the signal supervi- sor and the trainmaster have made numerous special reports. While the apparatus has been in the hands of the Officers of the railroad comp pAny, changes in detail made by the prop rietpr have had to have tho approval. of the signal engineer of the road"
 Just what the attitude of the road toward, the signal will be cannot be said. General Manager Bardo has said that it is unwise to relieve an en- gineer of responsibility to too great an extent, and that mechanical devices could never supplant this responsi- - ' 2

The plan for military enlistment should be broadened to include in the national service those who, by req son of their age or physical condition are permanently or temporarily inca- pacitated for active military duty, but who are able to render the Govern ment equally indispensable service in the production of food, supplies and munitions. st7N
 "The enlistment should include three classes-men beyond military age men of military age but not ac- cepted for active military duty. and boys under age for enlistment. The Government should make plans at once for the mobilization of this important resource. This proposed enlistment should be regarded as part of the public patriotic service in the present war and given proper official recogni- tion."
 As to the possibility of fixing prices the recommendations say.
 '.The Secretary of Agriculture should be authorized by law to li- cense all agencies engaged in the business of marketing and distribut- ing farm and food products, When directed by the President, the Seere- tary should have power after advising with the Council of National Defense. as to the necessity of such a step. to take over and operate such of these businesses as may be warranted, in manner similar to a receivership,"

SUCCESS REPORTED FOR TRAIN STOP ON
 NEW HAVEN SYSTEM

The NeF Haven road has been ma king tests of an automatic train-stop for the last two years and now be- 1ieves the device has reached a point where it is an absolute success. In- asmuch as the tests have heretofore been confined to the trackage between Ansonia and Derby comparatively few have known about it.
 Jean F. Webb, jr., invented the de- vice. The International Signal Col, of New York of which the inventors fatlaer is president. makes it. The seWebb stop is attached to the engine Of a train A cast-iron shoe projects Sto touch the; track and through this shoe the electric current that works the railroad signals also controls the Strain-stop. When signal is at dan ger'' and the engine barely passes the signal. the train-4toD sounds a warm ing signal in the cab and at tho same time sets the brakes If the engine is travelling beyond al given rate of speed. the trafn-stop again sounds the warning signal and sets the brakes. Antoher signal dicates to the engfn- ger when there is no need for stopping at a signal point.
 Reports say that the apparatus was, turned over to the railroad company in March, 1915. and the running tests

Make complete survey of the food supply, provide for systematic public ity of prices, control of distributive agencies and the fixing of prices, if necessary.
 On the specific question of increas- ing the food supply the conference recommended:
 Increase the acreage of spring wheat in the Northern States. Increase the corn area east of the tooth merid- ian (running through PierrefS, D.)
 Tn districts where wheat has been winter killed, replant with oats. corn or sorghum as climatic conditions may determine.
 Plant barley and oats, wherever they are proved reliable crops, to the maximum than can be handled. s,
 "Buckwheat acreage in the North ern and Eastern States, where the season Is too short for the great sta pie crops. may we'll be increased.
 "The area planted to navy beans in the North and West. and to Mexican and tepary beans in the Southwest, should be enlarged,
 "The planting of potatoes, especially for local use, should be stimulated in every reasonable way,
 Sweet potatoes in the South should be produced in larger quantity than usual for use in their fresh state, and for storing, canning or dessicating for winter use,
 fProduction of peanuts should be enlarged,
 "An early increase in the animal products of the country should be made as livestock holdings already are too low and should not be dimin- ished further.
 Pork production should be in- creased substantially through the more extensive use of fall filters, better care and feelings. Milk pro- ductien should be increased fully one-fourth by more liberal and in telligent feeding. Poultry products can, and should, be doubled within year.
 As te the supply of labor the recem- mendations say;
 include as definite a provision for en- listment for food supply as for service at the front.
 Mere than 8,eee, zee boys, between thes ages of 1 5 and 19 years, not now engaged in productive work vital to the Nation, constitute the most inn portant labor resource, hitherto un- organized and unutilized, but available for this emergency.

SOUTH TO BE ASKED TO GROW
 MORE FOOD AND LESS COTTON
 TO AID CONSERVATION PLANS
President, Urged to Do So By Leading Business Men, Will Suggest That Planters Raise Corn, Cattle and Vegetables.
April 15.-President

Washington, April 1s.-President Wilson is being urged by leading bus mess men to emphasize his proposition to the farmers of the South urging them to reduce their cotton acreage this year and put in food crops.
 The President has the matter under consideration, and, 1t is understood, !, will make an appeals to the South next week He will point out that the Southern cotton producing States pur- chase from the North. West and East more than $500, 100000 worth of food supplies annually, and that by grow ing foodstuffs now they will let oth- CT sections of this country and certain European nations have the supplies they have been taking.
 The South will be urged by the President to grow corn, meat, vege- tables and other crops that yield well there.
 The southern cotton planter, by de- pending on other states of the Union for his own food, has helped greatly to advance the price of staple food.
 Representative Lever of South Car olina, Chairman of the House Com mittee on Agriculture, has submitted to Secretary of Agriculture Houston a plan under which the Government may aid in increasing production of foodstuffs. It proposes that the Fed eral Government, through some board or commission similar to the Federal Farm Loan Beard. shall acquire farm land, stock it with machinery and seed and induce tenants to work it on shares under a system of cultivation to be prescribed by the soil. and erep experts of the Department of Agricul- ture.
 Robert M. Collins of Alabama, Wta suggested tha4 plan: te-,Mrr Lever, said
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1917-04-20

to-day:
 .In view of the great need of rais- ing all the food crops we can possibly produce, the Government should lat once acquire large tracts of land in the various agricultural sections of the country, Each of these should have a community centre, where the tenants would live in houses built by the Government and be able to enjoy some social life. It might be neces- sary the first season for the Govern meht to furnish food and clothing to the tenant and his family, but any expenditure in that way would be taken out of the tenants half share of the gross profits of the year. A board to handle this matter should be created at once and a fund of $100,- 000,00o placed at it's disposal to carry out the objects in view"
 Representative Scott of Michigan introduced bill authorizing the Sec retary of War to draft an army of 200, ,O00 men from IS to 60 years old to work on farms at the pay of an ar my private under an enlistment of two years.
 Sixty-twe State and agricultural school officials who meet in confer enee at St. Louis this week with Sec retary of Agriculture Houston think this is what the United States ought to do about the food preblem
 Give the Department of Agriculture an emergency appropriation of $25,- 100000.
 Urge farmers te increase production and housewives to decrease waste,
 Mobilize 2,060,600 unemployed boys between fifteen and nineteen for ser vice en the farms.
 Enlist men unfitted for military ser vice as an officially recognized farce for the. pFaauction of necessities.

 Company l., which is the co.rnany raised by members of r-rankiln --ars- lett camp, No. II, Sons of Veterans, held an enthusiastic drill. more than 40 being present.
