Washington. Sept, S.--A new prior
ity list Of industries and plants essen
tial to the war or the civil popula-
ton was announced today by Chair
man Baruch of the war industries
board. 1t was described as the mas
ter key governing the issuance OF
priority certificates by the prloritie,
commissioner OF the board for fuel
supply or electrical energy, tranepor-
tation, material, facilities, capital and
labor and as the basis for industrial
exemption from the draft.
"The inclusion of the industries and
plants Of this preference list" said
the announcement, does not operate
as an embargo against all others. but
the effect is TO deter the requirements
of all other industries and plants un-
til the requirements of those on the
preference list shall have been salts
fled"
Industries have been grouped into
four classes according to their rela-
tive Importance. No distinction is
made between industries or plants
within any one class and 1t was eX-
planned that no significance is to be
attached TO the order in which they
are listed within any class

EXCELLENT RATION FOR cow
II Farmers Would Depend More on
sllage and Less on Pasture Herds
Could Be Doubled.

A good ration for cows giving milk
Is silage twice day, corn fodder once
a day and all the bean forage they will
clean up, with about one pound grain
or concentrate to every three pounds
milk the cow gives. If the beans were
pulled before becoming too ripe and
secured without much rain falling on
them, the forage makes good feed
Roots are valuable to increase the
flow of milk.
If we would depend more on silage
and less on pasture, our dairy herds
might easily be doubled and the farm
enriched accordingly Many farmers
have been slow to awaken to the fact
that dairying brings excellent returns.
Many Improbable crops are stin
raised where the land might better be
growing feed for live stock.
Permanent pasture is a waste un-
less the land cannot be plowed. Every
acre should be made to raise feed for
stock to the limit of its capacity, and
this should be fed right on the farm,
returning the fertility to the soil.

PAIL OF GREAT IMPORTANCE

The United States department OF
agriculture has this to say about
milking:
I'm modern dairies where clean
milk Is produced the small-top milk
pail is necessity, as such a pail pre-
sents only small opening into which
dust and dirt may fall from the air
or from the cows body. 1t has been
found by experience that the use of
the smalltop pail greatly reduces the
number of bacteria in milk from aver
age diaries. Many types Of milk pals
are for sale, but any timer can con-
vert an ordinary pail into a small-top
pail by the addition Of hood, as

East Lansing, April 3.-The 10000
boys and girls who were members of

Michigan during 1917 have literally
repaid the state for the investment
that was made in them, report from
the Office of E. c. Lindemann shows
The work of organizing the boys and
girls into clubs and interesting them
in agricultural and home enterprises
cost the state only SO cents per young
ster, but each club member who re-

worth of foodstuffs to the national
supply.
According to reports filed with the
college, the number of boys and girls
who are now enrolled in these clubs
is more than 10000.

In order TO meet the demands OF Cne
armies and allies engaged in the war
against Germany, the United States
Food Administration today announces
4 further modification in the wheat
-four conservation campaign, by in
creasing the required amount of sub
stitutes from 20 to 25 per cent in the
Victory Bread recipe. The new reg
ulation becomes effective April 14th,
according to telegram received to-
day by Geo. A. Prescott, Federal Food
Administrator for Michigan. In this
connection the further announcement
is made that further increase in the
use of substitutes may be required
later on. Baking rules have been
amended to conform with the new reg
ulation.
Don't mistrust Uncle Sam. Believe
him when he says, 1--WE cannot and
will not export more than our saw
ings; for our own people must be fed"
When you read that the Allies are
short 100 million bushels of wheat,
don't show your appreciation OF the
fact by putting on your hat, going to
your grocer, and in whisper ordering
a barrel of wheat -four to be sent to
your house at once. And after you
have done this don't tell yourself that
in your case it is all right, because it
was prompted by spirit of self-pre-
servation.
You don't need that barrel of flour
any more this year than you did last
year or the year before.
You say, perhaps, you are just one
individual, and that the little food you
hoard doesn't count. But if all the
"just one individuals" in the country
bought barrel of -four, it would stop
all the shipments of wheat to our as
sociates in this war for three months.
And that would mean disaster; it
would be as great disaster as to stop
shipments of munitions.
When the stores hoard, their Ii
censes are taken away from them or
licensed wholesalers are instructed to
cut off the retailers supplies. A sup
ply on hand for more than thirty days
is considered in the eyes Of the law as
boarding.
There can be no such drastic laws
laid down for the householder, but
there are even more drastic moral
laws laid down for her. Any person
in the United States who buys more
food than he customarily keeps at
home is defeating the purpose of the
Food Administration to obtain just
distribution of food and to reduce
prices. The boarding of food in
households not only is senseless, as
the government is protecting the
food supply of the people, but it is
selfish and is a cause of high prices.
Very respectfully,
GEORGE A. PRESCOTT,
Federal Food Administrator.
