Mr. Coker's statement that the
farmer should supply the town people
with corn and not leave it in the
cribs for weeviis and rats is good
sense, but where is the good judg~
ment in requiring the farmer who has
corn to buy meal if Re wants to buy
a little flour. Even if he sells his
corn and buys meal the meal has to
be shipped and it does not help to
release the congested condition of the
transportation companies. Let us ap-
ply little common sense in the ad-
ministration Of the rules to conserve
food and fuel.

APPLICATION COMMON SENSE
NEEDED.

s'The corn coming in from outside
will leave a surplus in our barns for
rats and weeyils to consume, and be-
sides, the unnecessary imports are
putting an extra burden upon trans
petation facilities which we have no
right to demand 1t seems to us that
patriotism demands that the farmers
all over the State supply the towns
with corn, and it also seems to US tnat
present circumstances do not warrant
a higher price than $500 per bushel
to the farmer"
The above paragraph is from an ad
dress to the farmers of the State
signed by D. r. Coker, chairman
State Council for Defense and urging
the farmer to grow food stuffs and
stating that a campaign would De
started soon for that purpose.
The food administration at Wash
ipeton and the president have issued
an order that the man who buys %
pounds of flour must also buy %
pounds of meal. And this applies to
the farmer who may have a thousand
bushels of corn in his crib, Of course
the administrator may say that the
farmer can sell his corn and then buy
meal Where is the sense in requir-
ing him to haul his corn to town and
sell it and buy meal and haul it back
when he could take his corn to the
mill and have it ground into meal.
Wherein does it conserve transporta-
ton facilities to pursue any such pol
icy. Why make him sell his corn for
50 a bushel and pay $3.50 for meal
besides hauling it town and having
the railroads to haul the meal when
he could take his corn to the mill
and have his meal ground. Do YOU
think such a policy is going to induce
the farmer to grow more corn. Do
you think he should do so? If you do
you are entitled to another think
We did not think that this rule of
buying an equal quantity of meal when
you bought flour applied to the man
who grew corn and had. plenty on
hand, so we called up Mr.. Elliott AMI
asked him and he said it did and must
be strictly adhered to. We were un-
der the impression it applied to the
man who had no meal and that a lit
tie discretion and common sense
would be applied. Mr.. Elliott stated
in his talk at Nemberry that the au-
thorities were appealing to the pat
riotism of the people and would have
to trust the people.
There needs to be applied a whole

of thanks for d~eliverances were made

A review of the troops followed
and then the prince with characters

from the platform and disappeared

widespread comment by operating a
farm of 900 acres n showing a net
profit of $4,000 at the end of the
year, may continue the work on a still
broader scale next year.
While other troops are being mus
tered out of service here, there has
been no mention of discharging the
salvage division, and already plans
are being made for a tract next year.
Eight hundred acres of this has been
plowed.
The $40, 900 profit remained after
deductions had been made for ma

Nearby farmers had their crops in
the field when Grant men began to
sharpen plows. The soldier-farmers
were in the field May "a. Twelve days

275 acres of corn $50 acres of hay, 40

Until the report of late fall crops
was made, government reports showed
that cantonments all over the country
were harvesting a total of $500 acres.
a little less than half of which was
credited to the Illinois camp. To
cover this enormous tract only 80 men
were used on the average, some of
them working on night shifts in busy
season. A total of $4,000 was spent
for machinery, tractors and seed. The

Sweet corn was marketed with the
camp mess supply detachment, field
corn was marketed in Chicago, pota-
toes were fed in camp. and oats and
wheat were marketed here. Next
yea 400 of the proposed 1900 acres
may be shifted from truck to forage
on account of labor.
Most of the soldiers picked. all of
whom were picked from limited serY-
ice units, were farmers. but there
were some men wholly inexperienced.

but eight hours. The work under
these conditions was unusually fast.
Hugh Findley, a Columbia univer-
sity professor, came to Grant as gov

praised highly the work of Captain
