the utmost elimination Of waste by
the careful feeding OF animals and the
use OF all the roughage available.
One Of the, dificult problems Is the
distribution OF wheat mill Reeds, and
this is made more difficult by the tact
that the food administration, In an
endeavor to protect the farmer. Is
maintaining an artif1cially low price
on these feeds. One consequence is
that a great deal of mill feds are now
going unnecessarily into work animals
or beef production. Every farmer
will recognize that the wheat mill
feeds are vitality necessary for the
dairy cattle, to some extent Tor tbs
poultry, and for young pigs Owing
to the absorption of mill feeds at To-
cal points near the mill, considerable
sections of the dairy industry are
practically without mill feeds and our
dairy production is thereby in danger
With view to correcting this. SO far
as possible. the food administration
desires to appeal for the assistance
of the farmers of the country In the
use and distribution of wheat mill
feeds. In this view, we are asking
every buyer of wheat mill feeds, out
side of the acute drought area. to
sign a pledge of honor not to use the
wheat mill feeds for any purpose ex-
cept the essential use in dairy, young
pig and poultry production, and not
TO purchase or hold at any one time
more than sixty days supply. In
less we can secure this careful and
specialized use of mill feeds, our dairy

state of turmoil over the recommenda-
tions of Mrs. Walter MacFarlane,
who recently investigated conditions
there and suggested certain changes

of the patients say will make their
lives unbearable.
They held a mass meeting and for

of which were sent to the Governor.

Mrs. MacFarlane was misinformed
during her investigation by a group

want a new and fuller investigation
of conditions on the island.
The recommendation to which they
particularly object Is that for the
segregation of the sexes. This, they
claim, completely destroys their nor

them a frightful curse in reality.
