TURNING PESTS INTO PROFITS
United States Department Of Agrieul-
ture Has Plans for Dealing With
the Rabbit Problem.

Fully 200, 1000 wild rabbits are
killed in the United States every year
according to estimates made by the
biological survey of the United States
department of agriculture. Many Of
them are jack rabbits, the majority of
which have not been utilized in the
past. If all the rabbits killed were
consumed, they would represent be-
tween 100000 and 100000 tons Of val
liable food, and If proper measures
were taken to insure the collection Of
skins, these alone would have a value
of $20,000,000. The biological survey
has frequently been called upon to help
western farmers in coping with the
rabbit pest. In view of the probable
economic value of rabbit meat and fur
In the coming few years, the energies
of the farmers and ranchmen will be
directed to the conservation of this Inn
portant resource. Already a number
of establishments for collecting, dress
Ing, canning, and shipping rabbit meat
are in operation in western centers. As
in Australia the transition of the wild
rabbit In this country from its status
as a pest to source Of profit is assured,
1T is believed.

ton, Provide Seven Extra LoaVes
of Bread for Every American.

By adopting cleaner threshing meth
DDS and by literally combing harvest
fields TO gather grain formerly vast
ed, threshermen and farmers OF the
United States this year saved fully
100000 bushels OF wheat estimated
as equivalent to about seven one-pOund
loaves of bread for every person In
the country. This result, accompanied
by corresponding savings Of barley,
oats, rye and other grains, is shown By
reports from 33 grain states to the u.
s. Food Administration. Other states.
although not prepared to furnish def
mite figures OF conservation in the
grain fields, report greatly reduced
harvest losses.
This rural food saving achievement,
accomplished In scarcely six months
time, was in direct response to re-
quests by the Food Administration,
which asked farmers and threshermen
to reduce harvest losses from about
3A per cent.-the estimated average
In normal times-to the lowest posi-
BILE minimum. Country grain thresh-
ing committees carried into every
grain growing community the official
recommendations for accomplishing
the results desired.
In numerous instances drivers of
racks with leaky bottoms were sem
from the fields to repair their equip
ment and frequently bad order thresh.
ing machines were stopped until the
aus Of waste was removed. But In
proportion to the number Of persons
engaged In gathering the nations grain
crop, cases OF compulsion were com.
%paratively rare. The Food Admins
tration freely attributes the success OF
the grain threshing campaign to pa.
triotic service by farmers, thresher
men and their crews. Incidentally

ADAMS INSPECTS
ROCHESTER MINES

Il have just completed a hurried
trip of inspection of the mine and mill
of the Silver State Mines company
and the Rochester Mines company at
Packard and Rochester, Nevada" said
William Adams of Chicago, vice-presi-
dent of both companies, after he came
in from the properties. Nj. Adams
is head of one of the largest contract
ing firms in Chicago.
""The operations of the Silver State
Mines company are progressing salts
factorily," he continued, considering
the length of time the plant has been
in actual operation. The mill IL still
undergoing minor alterations which
are necessary in order to handle a
large tonnage at the smallest possible
cost.
1.-THE average tonnage perday for
the month of November is 1870 tons,
which, l am told, probably will be in
creased to at least 200 tons per day
during the month of December. As
yet no cleanup has been made which
enables us to definitely state what the
actual results will be in g Traction or
value of the ore. The first cleonup
will no doubt be made about Deeem-
Der 5.
"The development of the mine also
is opening up some large bodies of ore
and the mine in general has the ear
m&rks and prospects of making one
of the biggest mines in the district.
"The Rochester Mines company
property is certainly opening into a
wonderful mine. The ore in the winze

the ore is continuous to the twelfth
level. with no indications of pinching

II went through the north and south
drift of the footwall vein on the tenth
level, which are both advancing in a
good body of ore. Raises have Teen
started at various points to open up
the ore between the tenth and eighth
levels.

which has been blocked out for future

this month is 17S tons and heads ay-

In a Tigers Lair.

In the lair of a tiger there are GER

the animal brings its prey to be de-

fresh kill shows that with its rasplike
tongue the tiger ticks off all the hair OF

PROVED SPIRIT
OF DEMOCRACY
Voluntary Basis Of Food Saving
Showed Heart Of America
Beat True for Freedom.

To the voluntary service and sacri-
Zee of the American people must be
attributed the continued health.
strength and morale of the Allied ar
mics and the civil populace.
Upon this spirit of service and sac
rifce will depend Europe's fate in the
months to come. In the past year we
have carried out an export program.
the magnitude of which is almost be-
yond comprehension. But with the
new demands that have come, with
the liberation of nations freed from
German oppression, our exports must
be almost doubled. Instead of 1890
O00 tons, we must ship twenty million
ton of food to Europe in the coming
year-as much as can be pushed
through u ports.
II the Allies had not been fed by
America, 1t would have been impos-
sible for them 70 maintain their de
tense against Germany.
Meeting this world need on a purely
voluntary basis, the American people
have conclusively proved that demOc-
racy is a success ano that in time Of
need it will rise to its own defense.
If there were no other accomplish
ment to its credit the very fact that 1t
has shown the strength of democracy
has in itself more than justified the
existence of the Food Administration
In the eyes of the world.
Less than four months after the
United States declared war the United
States Food Administrator expressed
his determination to meet Americas
food problem on a basis of voluntary
action and reiterated his confidence
that awakened democracy would prove
irresistible.
"Many thinking Americans" said
Mr.. Hoover, land the whole world
have been watching enxiously the last
four months in the fear that demo
cratic America could not organize to
meet autocratic Germany. Germany
has been confident that 1t could not be
done. Contrary proof is Immediately
at our door, and our people have al
ready demonstrated their ability to
mobilize, organize, endure and prepare
voluntarily and efficiently in many di
rections and upon the mere word OF
inspiration aside from%the remarkable
assemblage of our Army and finances.
The history of the Food Administra
ton has clearly shown that the trust
of those who put their faith In democ
a has not been misplaced

"ceIIuIon," New Wood Pulp Fiber.

CeiluiOnr view WOOu Fulp FtOcT.
There has, says the Board of Trade
Journal, been much discussion In the
German press during recent weeks on
corning a wood pulp fiber named "Cel-
lulon," for which large claims are
made as an efficient substitute for Jute,
cotton and other fibers. 1t appears to
be certain that the fiber is not made
by spinning long strips Of paper run
off reels through water in the manner
which German paper textile substi-
tutes have made familiar. The ac-
counts agree In describing the proc
ess, or processes, as a direct manu-
facture from wood pulp. The con-
sui general at Zurich, who has pre-
sented a report to the foreign Office,
states that the method employed OPP
crates on the same general lines as
that used for artificial silk manufac-
ture-that is, by squeezing pulp I'M
