JUNIOR FOOD ARMY.

The BOYS and girls of this state who
jeined the Junior Food srmy last year,
have evidently convinced the grown
nps taat they are worthy of considers
ton when it cones TO producing and
conserving. They should be encour-
aged to greater activity than ever this
ysag, and made to feel that they are
tist as much a part of this great move
ment as their parents
There has been some criticism and
ridicule on the part of some of the
older people regarding the children's
gardens last year. but when the record
books were figured up for the Season,
these same people who laughed first
received great surprise. Crops to the
value OF over 800, 900 were produced
from which net profit of over $21, 900
was realized by three leading projects,
by boys and girls throughout the state
who were usually idle during the sum-
1reE.
Encourage your boy or girl to enroll
I'M the Junior Food Army and give
little time each day to work in the
garden. in the care of poultry, the
canning club OF. fattening a pig. II
interested i'll this movement, talk it
over with your neighbors, encourage
yeur children to get started and then
ask the county Farm Bureau for infor-
nation and instruction.

raised he'e, is because it cost less to
produce a pound or hay than any other
food The nearer we can come to feed
ing our dairy COWS on hay, the better
and cheaper it will be. The one idea is
TO produce milk at the least outlay.
This is hay country. Out west cult
gatIon is cheap and here it is expen-
sive, nay is Irofitably produced Mr..
Manchester does not advise the farmers
TO grow hay and nothing else, but to
keep the hay unit up and have good
quality. Timothy hay when cut before
it blossoms has a much higher percent
age of protein than at any other time.
One way in which we can solve the
labor problem, said Mr. Manchester, is
by growing more small grains and har-
vesting our hay crops earlier. One rea-
son why we should grow more barley,
oats, etc. is because it will not interfere
with harvesting the hay crop. while
corn needs much attention at the same
time the hay does. Why try to raise
wheat, which is more or less an uncer-
tain crop in this section, when we are
almost certain tn realize a profit on

every farmer must solve for himself.
In one case. farmer of this country
planted wheat from which he realized
$1,000, but the fact must be borne in
mind that soils that will produce little
else will invariably grow a good crop
of rye or buckwheat. Rye should be
planted at the same time as buckwheat
in order to the greatest production from
the least amount of labor.
The meeting came to close with
general discussion regarding the early
and late varieties of oats, and it was
generally conceded that the early oats
were planted with better results. Mr..
Manchester stated that it was just as
necessary to purchase standard vari-
ETY. of oats as it was to get standard
seed corn, but that few farmers did so,
merely asking for seed oats.

THE FARMERS CONFERENCE
Continued from First Page.)

and not raised on the farm as it should
be. Every farmer should go in to the
production of live stock with the firm
resolve to raise sufficient grain to keep
the stock and not merely keep cattle
in order to help out the feed man. The
western farmer today is facing the
same conditions as we in New England
and the time has come when they
must use fertilizer if trey expect to
get good crop. They have taken
everything out of the ground and now
they must pay for it by buying fertili.

New England raises excellent limo
thy hay. said MIR. Brundage, but too
much of it was&raised. The market for
Timothy hay is rapidly falling because
of the fact that the city people who
used horses always demanded the best
that was procurable and now that the
automobiles are taking the place of SO
many horses, this hay will not have
the value that it once had. He urged all
farmers to raise more legumes and
small grains and to rotate the crops at
shorter intervals that the ground may
be made more productive. Corn should
not be raised on so large a scale as
heretofore because it takes more labor
than ether grains to get successful
crop. Wheat or rye has been sowed
with corn. after the first hoeing. with
considerable success both in this
county and elsewhere, but as wheat re
quired such rich ground, it was ad.
vised that if his plan was followed, to
SOW rye or barley instead. A general
discussion then followed IL which Mr..
Emmons stated that he had raised "a
bushels of wheat from an acre and Mr..
Stevens had secured 10 from the same
amount of ground.
President Dodge then introduced
Miss Emily Bronson, of Winchester,
county home demonstration agent, to
whom he gave the title of "official
County Cook". Miss Bronson gave a
very brief talk on the use of wheat and
other substitutes and stated that she
wished food exhibit could be held
here in order that every woman might
learn the proper way Of making and

Hartford are going to have exhibitions
of this kind and it is hoped to have
one here in the near future.
The morning session came to a close
about 1890 and about 100 persons Who
we're present adjourned to the parlors
of the Pilgrim Church where dinner
was served, which consisted of many
dishes which would have made Herb
Hoover smile.
The afternoon session, at which
there were upwards of 1876 present,
opened at $50 and general discus.
sion of the cow question was held. The
principle question which the farmers
had to solve was the increased produc-
ton of milk and the cutting down OF
the feed bills. It was stated that in
many places the farmers had been feed
ing hay three or four times a day and
cutting down on the grain.
After general discussion of thu
various fertilizers and the raising oil
barley, Mr.. Manchester stated tina
there was no better fertilizer thar

THE SHIP PROBLEM.

The lack of ships and the lack of
men to 7nan them is one of the greatest
problems which the war department
faces in the transportation of troops to
Che other side and to remedy this con-
dition, every effort is being made to
enlist men in the merchant marine
service. This department Of the service
offers just as good pay as any other, to
the average man, and anyone who en-
lists can feel that he is doing his bit
O. well as the men in the trenches.
The one thought in the minds of
government officials at the present
time is to send troops to France, but
I'm order to do this and to supply these
nen after they get there, with food
and clothing, we must have more
shlps and more men to man the ships.
Ships will win the war. To make this
possible, the Shipping Board has
created what will be known as the
Bn1DyhTu NUluuGccES-n AoSCIN0 lOICS
of $50, 900 skilled mechanics who will
be enrolled for service on demand.
Our present program for ships, calls
for six million tons per year. which is
che minimum amount which will en-
able as to do our part in the war. The
Shipping Board has the money and
naaterials to successfully carry out this
program, but it needs men. Those who
enlist will not be called upon aG once,
hut as soon as a new yard is completed
and housing provided, these men in
Eeserve will be called. The Shipyard
Volunteers are assured q generous
wage from the start and will also b.
given deferred classification in the
draft as long as they remain in thu
ship yards. With these inducements
Ehere should be little trouble in seour
ing..sufficient men. .aa IN NE IL g .
