what the Russians did in the war

THE FARMERS CALL

In hearty response to President
Wilson's recent appeal to the farm
ers of the nation TO exert all means
at their command to ratios the en-
emies of the kaiser and help win
the war, a plan was recommended
by the war conference of the agri-
culturists at Champaign, Ills, that
for downright common sense and
effectiveness would be hard to beat
In substance the plan calls upon
the farmers of the country to-
Produce more essentials and pay
less attention to non essentials.
Grow more wheat and less corn
and oats. '>f
Produce more pork and beef.
Raise more sheep so as to ploduce
more wool.
Raise more poultry.
Plant only such crops as are GER
tain to succeed in your locality.
Build more silos.
Repair farm machinery so that it
will not be necessary to buy new
machinery, thus cloggins up indus
tries.
Use boys on the farm.
Seek the aid of the county agent
and follow his advice.
Pay mare attention to soil fertil-
ity.
The whole thing is summed up in
the blanket admonltion to do the
things on your farm that will en-
able you to render the greatest ser
vice to your country"
