FARMING DONE
 N. W. CANADA BY GOVERNMENT

That the Canadian government realizes the importance of the till age of its wheat producing acreage and intends to reap the full bene- fits of all soil that can be utilized for such production is evident by the manner in which they have as- sumed charge of the sowing and harvesting of the much needed grain.
 During his sojourn Outside. Ed McAdam paid visit to his brother. who is engaged in farming in the Canadian northwest. and while there was made acquainted with the con ditions as they exist.
 By the government his brother was ordered to SOW about 400 acres with wheat. On receiving this order he protested to the officials. saying that if the crop was a heavy one there was not labor enough avail able to properly harvest it, and 1t would entail a great loss. He re. ceived a mandatory reply to proceed with the planting and. should the crop be a large one, all provisions would be made by the government to take care of the harvesting.
 On the maturity of the crop part of 1t was a total failure. Instead of the farmer sustaining loss. the government paid for the entire wheat crop in the proportion of the aggre- gate acreage sown, as it was by the government orders that the crop was put in. For the year 1918 he was ordered to SOW 600 acres with wheat under the same circumstances. The farmer, in order to secure this consideration, must apply him. self just as assiduously to the crops during the war period as in times of peace Absence from his farm Is not tolerated, and should he wish to leave his farm for any length of time. permit must be secured from the government officials. Dur ing the holidays great difficulty was experienced in securing leave of absence for the period of ten days.

 IS OBSERVED
 IN FAIRBANKS

Since the inauguration of the re- port system by the food conserva. tion committee in Fairbanks, the families are gradually realizing the importance of the saving habit. The pledge cards are also coming in in greater numbers.
 During the first week of the cam paign the number of pledge cards sent in was relatively small, 163 signed cards being received by the committee. Out of this number, 93 sent in their weekly conservation re- ports. The statistics of these re- ports showed that there were S17 wheat products were consumed. Of the meatless meals, the total shown for the week was 1,428 On the say ing of sugar S4 families reported. Wasteless meals reported amounted to 1,848, this, on the number of cards sent in. amounting to about 98 per cent of the total meals con. stunned as shown by the cards turn ed in.
 The second weeks report showed a marked increase in the number of pledges sent in. While not so great as that of the first week. the total for both weeks amounted to 290. A further increase of 62 weekly re- ports were sent to the committee. Of the total. 1853, 1t was shown that there were 1857 wheatless meals. 2.405 meatless meals. a saving on sugar was effected in 150 families. and 3.171 wasteless meals. The per centage of savings on the wasteless meals was slightly greater than that of the first week.
 While the reports of the third week are not compiled yet as to the savings, the number of pledge cards sent in totaled 353. It is expected that the weekly reports will be in the neighborhood of 250.

RED CROSS IN
 NEED OF HELP

A letter from Dr. William T. Eos. ter. inspector for the American Red Cross in European service. says in part:
 "The need of the American Red Cross in France is more than we can imagine at this distance. When I was in Paris a few weeks ago I saw the records of surgical dress ings we had just supplied to 1860 hospitals. l found the work of dis tribution done quickly and efficient ly; and yet 1t is not possible to keep up with the most urgent de- mands. When l saw one French soldier so badly wounded that whole case of dressing was needed to save his life. I thought that if he could stand his part of 1t. we could at least pack the case for him. Fuel will be scarce in France this winter. We cannot possibly send enough warm clothing to keep all the people from suffering"

RED CROSS CALF
BRINGS BIG sum
BIDDERS AT S. CARLSON SALE
GIVE $137 FOR CALF
WORTH $40

Red Cross cattle are proving to be
better than the standard breeds of
Herefords, Shorthorns, Galloways and
other types. The highest price paid
at the Selma Carlson sale yesterday
for any of the cattle offered was for a
Red Cross calf, which, had it not been
for the name, would probably have
sold for $40 or less. The calf brought
$137 and it is to be sold again and
again, the last buyer donating it to
the Red Cross to be resold.
There was good attendance at the
sale and property brought good prices.
The calf had been donated to the local
Red Cross by the owner and was put
mp by Auctioneer G. E. Walks and
brought the sum mentioned Then a
dozen eggs were donated to the Red
Cross and sold for $3.50. AS a result,
Mrs. Charles Shields of the local Red
Cross had a roll of bills last night
that would have choked the calf to
death, had it tried to swallow the
roll. Mrs. Shields says she is going

ONE. The work of the substations is al
so on the project basis. Each concerns
itself with the problems of it's OWL
locality The Standpoint station has
given most attention to the clearing
of land and the utilization of that land
in the production of feeds for dairy
cattle, the dairy industry being one
of the most important on the cut and
burned-over lands of the panhandle.
This station will become the center
for the distribution of well-bred dairy
cattle and in time for the distribution
| of tried-out varieties of small grains.
The Caldwell station has concerned
itself principally with the growing of
small grains and for forage crops I'M
der rather adverse conditions of irri-
cation. The station supports good
herd of dairy cattle and hogs and
has gotten some valuable data on the
use of forage crops and field peas in
the production of pork. The Aberdeen
station is conducted in cooperation
with the bureau of plant industry of
the United States department of agri-
culture. A part of the work is con-
Quoted with dry-farm methods and
part with irrigation. The work of that
station concerns itself entirely with
corps, potatoes and sugar beet seed.
1t has become a center of vast influ-
ence in the agricultural development
Of the upper Snake river plains coun-
try. The Jerome station is conducted
under the supervision of the bureau
of plant industry. 1t is given over
entirely to experimental work in the
production of potatoes. Some valua-
BILE work has been accomplished in
cultural methods and in the better I'M
derstanding Of potato diseases.
Genealogical data for the central
station and each of the substations
are included in the report.
Mention is made of the bulletins and |
circulars published during the year, of |
papers printed in technical publica-
tons and of manuscripts approved
for publication Special efforts have
been made to get before the farming
public the practical applications of
all lines of investigation
The reports of the several depart
ments and the substations set forth in
some detail the progress made during
The year in each line of investigation.
The report, while not intended for
general distribution, will be sent to
any citizen of the state upon request.

This bears particular ref erence to restrictions relating to working hours and the hiring of la bor. The announcement by the De- fense Council followed advices by the Federal War Labor Policies Board
 "The whole program regarding Christmas shopping regulations both National and State, was a labor con servation movement" said an off cial of the Defense Council. "Dur- ing war times, positions should be consolidated and one man fill two iobs wherever possible. In peace times, the number of positions should be enlarged and an effort should be made to employ two men where one was employed before.

 DEVISED A NEW
 FORM OF KILLING

With the British-American Armies, Dec. 2-(COrrespondence of the Asso- ciated Press) s)-German deviltry seem. ed to know no bounds in the last days of the fighting on the British front after the Hindenburg line had been shattered. They attached grenades to the bodies of dead Hun left behind in the German retreat so that when the bodies were lifted the grenade ex- ploded, killing or wounding the bear CTS.
 Near the town of Le Cateau, num- Der of Australian stretcher-bearers were killed by these grenades in at tempting to remove some German i dead from the field in front of an American machine-gun position Thereafter no Australian would put a ! hand on a dead German. In some cases the bodies were dra gged to their burial places by means of a long rope which allowed the stretcher-bearers to keep out Of range of any exploding { hand -grenades.
 The Americans, on the other hand, hit upon the plan of making the Ger man prisoners bury their own dead. ! Tn one instance a Roche prisoner was summariIy shot because he refused to 1 remove the body of his dead compan 1 ions An examination of the body ] later led to the discovery that it wa
 mined. The German was aware of this 1 fact and refused to touch it. Tn one small town evacuated by the Germans, many of the beds were found ] to be mined. An American officer i tired and worn by long and hard fighting sought rest on a lounge in a room previously occupied by a German officer. The lounge blew up and he was instantly killed.
 Another officer picked up a pair of
 field-glasses left by the Germans an6 was adjusting the focus when the glasses exploded in his hands and blew
 away part of his face.
