The Hartford republican., 1918-06-14

There are more than 1000 patri-
otic boys between the ages of 16 and
21 in Kentucky who, being too young
to go to the front, wish to help the
farmers produce the food necessary to
supply our armies. These young men
with a burning desire to help have
volunteered their services to work on
the farms and help produce and con-
serve the food that is necessary that
our soldiers may maintain as fit
fighting machine. These boys will
render not only willing, but in most
cases an efficient service. Any farm
ers who desire help on their farms
should write without delay to c. A..

PLANES ARE FIREPROOF.

Washington, June S.-A fire proof
airplane is the latst addition to Uncle
Sans aerial program.
These planes will be constructed OF
noninfiammable materials, the wings
struts, fuselage, etc, being made of
an aluminium alloy steel, both light
and strong. The gasoline tanks will
be specially protected to prevent pos
sible puncture by infiammable bullets.
Flights already have been made
with the first models.
A noninflammable plane, it is be-
lieved, will greatly reduce the losses
of planes in action, 1t was the burn
ing of his plane, rather than his own
injuries, that caused the death of
Lufbery, Americas premier fiier, two
weeks ago. Had Lufbery been fly
ing fireproof plane there is little
doubt, ii is declared, but that he
could have landed safely despite the
bullet wound through his hand.

Careful analysis of the figures in
regard to hogs indicates that we were
five to seven million hogs short at the
period when the conservation pro-
gram was started with the American
people. The average export of hog
products per month was roughly 55
million pounds before the European
war. In the last half of the year
1917, because of the decrease in the
number of hogs in the country, it fell
below the somewhat increased level
due to war demands. In March,
1918, we were exporting 800 million
pounds per month and can see our
way clear, with the present saving
and production, to go forward at this
rate for an indefinite period We
have now in store one billion, one
hundred million pounds Of pork pro-
ducts which provides an ample re-
serve for a steady flow to meet the
allied demands as well as the de-
mands of this country. This repre-
sents wholly the voluntary conser-
walton of the country, as 1t does not
reflect the present increase in the hog
population.

THE REPUBLICAN PARTY HAS A
LIVE ISSUE IN NATIONALISM

| There are a great many periodi-
calls now, processing a program of
democracy which have for the real
object instilling into the minds of
their readers that democracy spelled
with a small "d'' is the same as De-
mocracy spelled with a capital Cd"
Among these periodicals is one call
ed "The Public"
In recent issue this organ of the
modern uplift came forward with the
statement that the Republican party
is morally bankrupt as a party, hav-
ing no issue except reaction and re-
sistence to economic progress.
The fact that The Public, so per-
sistently finds fault with the Repub-
lican party, and at the same time is
profuse in its praise of the party
in power, somewhat weakens the eff
feet of this assertion, but If the mag
azine really believes that it means
what it says, 1t might be well to in
form it that the Republican party,
from the date of its birth, never had
so many real issues as at present.
First there is the issue of war ef-
ficiency, of getting the war over with,
in the right way in the least amount
of time, and therefore with the small
est expenditure of blood and money.
Certainly this is live issue. The
recent aircraft scandal, to say moth
ing of the short-coming of Mr.. Bak-
er and his satellites which previous
fy came to light, have brought this
issue to the forefront.
Then there is another issue loom
ing on the horizon and an issue
fraught with grave consequences If
II is not successfully met. 1t is the
issue of internationalism versus pa
triotism, and when this issue presents
itself the Republican party is going
to take great pride and pleasure in
baking designs of the cult which The
Public supports, cult which desires
to make a bolsheviki democracy"
out of America with shining lights
of the Thomas Mooney type as Gin
ternational patriots"
The Republican party will be in
the forefront then preaching the doc
trine of real Americanism, just as it
has always preached it. The party
will stand for orderly, representative
government, as opposed to rule of
the organized mob, of the American
ideal as opposed to the Moujik ideal.
1t will bring home to the people
realization of the fact that Ameri-
can citizen should be the most sa-
cred of all causes, the safeguarding
of American lives and American
ideals. 1t will preach the doctrine
that the American standard of living
is to be maintained and American
labor is not to be brought into COM
petition with the bubonic labor of the
Orient with its squalid method of
eking out a miserable existence, on
few pennies month.
II would seem therefore that the
Republican party has a fair-sized
job of work ahead and that it will
perform this work properly and sue
cessfully no one can doubt who has
read its history.

Wheat Food Price Control indicated.

As the true proportion of last years
wheat crop in this country began to
be apparent toward the close of last
summer. the most optimistic esti-
mates of supplies available for export
to our allies did not exceed 10000
600 to 4O,0OO,O00 bushels, but so
well has the matter of conservation
of supplies and of substitutes been
handled that now, with returns of ten
months exports of wheat and flour
available, we find that the country
actually shipped 110,O00.00O bushels.
This speaks worlds for the self-sacri-
ficing character of the American peo-
pie in foregoing. white wheat bread,
and of the firm yet flexible mastery
Of of the situation by the Food Board.
Perhaps the most interesting example
OF this control is found in the fact
that the farm price of wheat on May
/ was s2.O3, as against $2.46 a year
ago at the same date, despite the
smallest stocks of wheat and -four in
dealers hands in the memory OF man.

Egg Consumption Enormous" This
Spring.

Egg Consumption "Enormous" This
Spring.
Probably there was a decrease III the
consumption of eggs, all told, during
December, January and February, on
account of the scarcity of fresh laid
stock, although during this period the
cold storage supplies were cleared
out at prices that yielded fair profit
TO the owners, but market reports and
official reports show that during
March and April the consumption was
enormous" to quote the term used
by an official of the U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture who Is in posi-
tion to speak with authority. II Is
clearly evident. therefore, that the
American hen is still numerously In
existince and strictly on the job.
Even more encouraging is the fact
that grain prices have steadily de-
.clined during the last 60 to 80 days,
including corn, oats, etc. That this
decrease in the price of poultry feeds
will continue seems quite certain.
Soon the new crop of oats Will be
available and q bumper yield Is in
sight. The U. S. Food Administra-
tion is extending its licensing system
and becomig more and more severe
i'm its treatment of proiiteers in the
sale of food stun and feed stun. 1t
IS fundamental that meat producing
animals in these times must be con-
served and protected. This calls for
regulated margins of profit in the
sale of stock feeds. all kinds and de-
scriptions, so far as they are essen
tial.
With ocean transportation still
greatly overtaxed. which means that
our surplus of farm products cannot
readily be sent abroad, and taking
into account the promised outlook for
immense farm crops in cereals, pota-
toes and other suitable poultry feeds,
the 191S-1919 prospects of the pour
try industry are far from discourag-
ing.

THE FARMER ONE OF ~
UNCLE SANS DEFENDANTS
BY o. B. Osborne Chairman Soil provement Committee Atlanta

One of your most pressing prob
lens and one to be acted upon without
delay is the matter Of obtaining your
fertilizer.
In spite of the best efforts of the
manufacturers and the Government,
materials for making fertilizers are
scarce and high in price. Therefore,
it is all the more necessary that what
fertilizers are to be distributed, should
be used upon soil that has received the
very best preparations the farmer Is
capable OF giving.
The mobilization Of our army, re-
curing a maximum movement OF
troop trains and supply trains, has ov-
er-taxed the capacity of our railroads
as never before. and in order for fer
tilizers to be distributed this season,
the movement must of necessity, be-
gin early and the unloading of cars
at destination be done with utmost
despatch. Every car must be loaded
to capacity
Today fertilizers are cheaper than
farm crops or farm labor. A bale OF
! cotton, a bushel of corn, oats or
wheat, will buy more pounds of fertil.
izers now than ever before, hence to
assure the performance of patriotic
duty, with great profit to yourself, or
der your fertilizers promptly so that
you may be sure to get them. And
when you get them, use them with
the greatest degree Of intelligence.
Satisfactory results are bound to fol
low-both to you and to the Govern.
ment.
