MAKE FARM FURNISH
LIVING,

Tis true that the farmer gets a
lot of foolish advice when it comes
to conservation, but here is lit
tie war time economy that amy
farmer can practice if he will only
cooperate with wife and use the
hoe a few evenings after work
this spring and summer.
Why not 60 back to the prac-
tice that Granddad employed and
make the farm furnish the living !?
Many farmers, especially in grain
belts, do not seem to realize the
Importance Of making the farm,
so far as possible furnish a liy-
ing for the family? Granddad
tells us how he cut wheat with
the cradle and compares the few
acres he then grew with the
broad acres of wheat now to be
found on the average farm.
Wheat was not higher in price
than at the present time. Grand
mother was a good cook and so
Granddad's family lived about as
well as the farm families of to-
day. It was the custom to make
the farm furnish groceries, meat,
butter, eggs and milk for the
family he year around.
But as new lands opened up
and they were found to be adap-
ted to certain types Of agriculture
this feature of a living first and
the profits secondary issue were
and men began to fol-
low types for which the section
was noted or the type for which
the individual had a natural bent.
Canned vegetables and fruits
could be had at the grocery store,
meats and butter at the butcher
shop, and because he lacked the
inclination for producing
a garden or orchard he discontin-
ued this practice. The garden
and orchard looked like such a
small business as compared with
200 acres of wheat or corn he was
apt to say. he thought that he
could buy the fruit or vegetables
cheaper than he could grow them.
But can he do so nowg Take
The two vegetables most likely to
De purchased by the farmer-to-
matoes and corn. The farmer
ouys a fair grade Of tomatoes for
20 cents per cam or at the rate
If more than three dollars a |

ARMY TRAINING FROM 10 TO

Washington. Mar. 27.-Stirred
by menace of the great German
offensive the senate spent today s
debate almost entirely ON sub
jects connected with the war, and
heard Sentor Henry Obot Lodge
of Massachusetts, deliver de-
nunciation of the delays which
have prevented greater forces
from the United States being
placed beside those Of the Allies
in the critical hour.
Compulsory military training
was advocated by Senator Lodge
who urged adoption of the amend
ment to the draft law providing
for the training Of boys between
the ages Of Is and 81 years.
Senator Lodge characterized
the situation now confronting this
country, as terrible, /" and urged
that the American people be told
the truth.
"The fate Of this war is trem-
bling in the balance" Senator
Lodge declared. "In this dark
hour it is a crime to keep from
the people the facts that Germany
knows.
It has been known for weeks.
he declared. that we have no
fighting planes in France.
"Our front is undefended in
