Break up of Russia Permanent
Many close and many careful stu
dents Of world history here expect
that the partition of Russia which is
now taking place, will be permanent.
Several new and distinct republics
are likely to evolve from the political
and economic chaos in which the Rus
sian people are struggling. To what
extent Germany, Austria, Turkey,
Bulgaria, Sweden and Japan may be
permanently aggrandized from Rus
sian territory will, as matter of
course, depend upon the degree of the
final victory of the Allied Nations
over Germany and Austria.
New Draft to be Soon Made
l am led to believe, on reliable in
formation, that the next draft, which
will soon be made by the United Stat
es, will be made for 100000 or 100000
! men. These men will not all be call
ed into the service at the same time.
After the draft order is issued, about
one hundred thousand men will be
called into the service each month,

The Provost Marshal's Office has

providing that under the new draft

not to be called into the military SER
vice of the Government as long as
they are actually and assiduously en-
gagged in farm labor. County Regis
tration Boards will be instructed to

CARE of POULTRY
STARTING THE POULTRY YARD

the right kind of stock, so far as they
are able.
After you have Matched the eggs,
or received the day old chicks, the
next question is to give them proper
care. For the first 48 hours, do not
give chicks any food but right from
the start keep them warm and give
them place where they can remain
to rest and gather strength. This
means some arrangement for brood
ing.
There are chick brooders on the
market that give good service or you
can rig up a good homemade brood
er yourself at very little cost. The
amount of heating that the brooder
should provide for the chicks will de-
pend on the amount of protection
needed against the cold. If you keep
the chicks and brooder in a heated
building, less attention will be need
ed.
Right here word of caution for
the beginner is advisable. The man
or woman starting in to raise poul-
try is inclined to rush things-to
start Matching as early as possible.
Don't do this if you want to be sue
cessful. If you start too early, you
are starting in severe weather, which
means that you will have to over
come the difficulty of properly brood
ing the chicks and it means also that
the chicks will be ready to go outside
when the weather is still unfavor-
able. AS result you are likely to
lose a good many chicks.
Another caution for the beginner
is not to raise chicks on too large a
scale. If you raise chicks in large
numbers, you will need definite pro-
vision for heating, whereas if you
raise just few you can give them
individual attention. In raising chicks
"by hand" as it were, the extra care
that you give them will permit more
simple methods than if you are rails
ing chicks on a large scale. In the
latter case everything would have to
be automatic, simple and sure, in Or
der that you might get along with
minimum of labor.
Remember that few chicks start
ed at the proper time, given good
care, good feed, and plenty of room,
will give you far better returns than
a large number of chicks crowded to-
gether, given cheaper food, and not
receiving the same amount OF care
that you can give to a small hatch.

DOUBLING THE FARM
ERS WHEAT DOLLAR
Continued from page y

el, he deducted that from S22S per
bushel and found the price at Sikeston
to be $211O2. From this he deducted
l per cent per bushel for the commits
sion firms charges, which put the net
price f. o. b. SikestOn at 81. 2.10O2.
He next compared this price with
what he could get if he sold at st.
Louis, his nearest primary market. At
St. Louis the basic price is Sis per
bushel, and the freight rate from
Sikeston to ST. Louis 6 cents per BUSH
ell. This would make the Sikeston
price $2.l2, less l cent per bushel for
selling charges, or $2.1l net. The st.
Louis price would therefore govern,
being advantageous to the Sikeston
seller
If our imaginary bushels of wheat
had started from SikestOn, since 1t was
a No. 2 grade, we must deduct 3 cents
per bushel, which would bring the
price f. O. b. the elevator point to
$2.OSO2 per bushe. AS our ina ginary
elevator man is charging 5 cents per
bushel for handling, which includes

at the price the farmer received. This
price would be $2O4O2 at the elevator.
Some of that cents will return to our
farmer If the elevator prospers ; for 1t

agree.
Had this elevator been owned by pri-
vate firm or person, or had 1t been a

have been SO bland and trustfnl.
He might have refused to sell at all
and arranged to store his wheat or he
might have taken 1t over to COM

been q time when these two watch
words needed closer observance on the
part of poultry raisers. It is up to
US to put forth every effort that our
meat and egg supply may be increas-
ed. AS poultrymen AMI as true Amer
leans with the 81 will' American
spirit, we must make good.
Conservation and observation are
essential in applying proper poultry
methods, in order to get the maximum
result from the efforts of every man,
woman and child.
Conservation and increasing our
food supply is of first Importance.
Every pound Of poultry feed should
count and while we advocate greater
production of poultry, we must not
lose sight Of the fact that millions of
pounds Of valuable poultry feed are
wasted every year in feeding unpro-
ductive stock, that under no condi-
tions could be made to pay for the
food they consume.
Observation is essential, for we
must eliminate this "boarders" class
of stock before we can hope to make
a reasonable profit from our poultry,
and accomplish any good for the COM
mon cause.
Besides this totally unproductivc
stock, there is another vast amount
of stock not giving returns, because
their owners do not give them a fair
chance. Lack of interest on the part
of poultry raisers in general in Sc
curing proper knowledge Of selection
and breeding, keeping only the profit
able birds and disposing Of the board
ers, has been the most direct cause
of many failures. Yet these failures
might have been easily overcome, for
the knowledge of proper selecting and
breeding can be readily obtained. 1t
merely means a little attention to
the flock on the part of the poultry
men.
Housing and feeding and the gen.
eral care of poultry, ekeping them
free from disease and from lice and
housing them in sanitary buildings,
have also been contributing causes to
many 1dlluIcS. L Gu lull lIllOfm1ClOn
on each and every one Of these sub
iects can be had with almost no
trouble on the part Of the poultry
man.
High prices for grain and made
quate returns from the flock, due to
lack of interest on the part of the
owner, or to lack of knowledge of
how to Gull the flock profitably, has
resulted in great shortage of a
stock. Poultry raisers have cut down
their flock and not knowing how to
select the breeders, many of the best
breeders of the flock have been turn
ed over to the butcher. The poultry
industry of this country has been
hard hit and the loss Of these goods
breeders will result in high prices
prevailing for poultry products, be-
fore we can again build up our lay
ing flock and replace the enormous
numbers that have been slaughtered
These high prices are going tc

G. E E%cen.s,

If you have any spare space IN
your back yard, present day high
prices for eggs and high prices for
poultry meat, and all this talk about
raising poultry for patriotic reasons,
have undoubtedly caused you to de-
eide to keep a flock this year.
With this decision comes the ques-
ton of whether you are to start to
buying Matching eggs or starting
with chicks.
If you start via the Matching egg
route, it means that you must either
employ hens for the incubating or
buy an incubator for the artificial
Matching of your eggs. If you ex-
pect to hatch with hens, it means
that you must buy number OF hens
some time before you are ready to
start your Matching operations for
you must give the hens time to get
accustomed to their surroundings and
YOU will have a number of them III
order to make sure that some of them
will be broody at the proper time. 1t
you get an incubator, it means the
expenditure of money, some knoWl-
edge of how to run an incubator, and
a good deal of careful attention for
considerable time in order that good
percentage of the eggs may produce
chicks. Whether you use hens or in
cubators, it means that you will un-
doubtedly lose a number of chicks be-
fore they are out Of the shell.
If YOU decide to start with the
chicks themselves, then you will buy
day-old chicks. If you get these from
a reliable breeder or hatchery, you
will have strong, vigorous chicks that
have. come from healthy parent stock
and that have a good laying or fancy
record back of them, depending on
the purpose for which you purchase
them. The day-old chick system is
becoming very popular because OF its
relief from the uncertainty of in
cubating and because you can see
what you are getting. The right kind
of breeder or hatchery will stand
back of it's product, just as will the
breeder who sells you Matching eggs.
The advantage in the case Of day-old
chicks is that you need 60 to little
expense for equipment, that you
don't have to give your time and
thoughts to the incubating, and that
YOU need no old stock around the
place. You can start with a new
strain, all chicks Of the same age, of
the same breed and uniform in al
most every particular. This will later
on minimize the amount Of work that
you have to do in order to properly
feed and take care of them.
When you buy your eggs or your
chicks, be sure that you have decided
whether you want to raise the poul-
try for eggs, for meat, or for COM
bination purpose and when you order
your eggs or order your chicks be
sure to tell the breeder or the hatch
cry what purpose you have in mind
so that they may be able to give you

PUNISHMENT FOR - 4.
WAR OBSTRUCTIONISTS

The House passed on Thursday, on
roll call without dissenting vote,
the Senate Bill to punish the willful
injury or destruction Of war mater
ials or of war premises or utilities
used in connection with war. 1t IS
provided in this bill that anyone who,
with intent to injure, interfere with
or obstruct the United States or any
associate nation in preparing for or
carving on the war, shall be on con-
,viction, fined not more than $4,000.
or imprisoned not more than thirty
years, or both such fine and imprlson-
ment may be imposed. The extreme
provisions of the bill, which were call
ed for by the interference the GOV.
ernment has met with from spies and
enemy sympathizers in it's war prep
arations, are intended to summarlly
nut stop to the willful injury and
destruction of property needed to car
nv on the war, and they will enable
the Government to quickly bring to
Justice those who may conspire to-
pether and seek to interfere or OBJ
struct the United States in its war
preparations.
Opposition to War Finance
Corporation
In the debate in the Senate this
week on the War Finance Corpora
ton Bill, Senator Harding called at
tention to the fact that while the bill
recites that it is a bill "for the pur-
pose of financing industries ionnect-
ed with the war;" it is we'll known to
every member of Congress that at
the present time every industry neces-
sarily connected with the war is H.
nanced by the department of govern
ment with which it operates, If any
such financing is necessary. The
Shipping Board is supplying the mon
ey to finance the cutting and saving
of timber, the building of ship yards,
as we'll as for the construction OF
ships. The War Department and the
Navy Department have been toun-
teously liberal in advancing hundreds
of millions of dollars to government
contractors and in financing indus
tries for the manufacture of war
munitions and war supplies. Senator
Harding contended that amendments
