HIGH SCHOOL BOYS
TO HELP FARMERS
PLAN TO UTILIZE LABOR OF
YOUTHS ON FARMS THE
COMING SPRING.
WILL BE TAUGHT FARMING
Farmers Asked to Instruct Pupils
During Winter in Elements of
Work = About 10000 Are
Available for Service.

Madison = Wisconsin, high schools
are to be turned into schools of agri-
culture in which the boys will be
taught the rudiments of farming, so
that, with the cooperation of the coun-
ty councils of defense and the county
agricultural agents. they can be placed
on Wisconsin farms early next spring.
The. idea originated at a meeting OF
the agricultural committee, of the Wis
consin State Council of Defense. This
committee was faced with the problem
of securing farm labor TO offset not
only the normal shortage but the in
creased shortage due to the war. OBJ
viously laborers can not be secured in
any numbers from the cities. j. B.
Borden, assistant state superintendent
of public instruction, suggested the
utilization of the boy power of the
high schools.
There are $4,000 high school boys in
the state. About 5000 of this number
live on farms, and 5000 are employed
during the summer in the cities. The
remaining 10000 are an available re-
serve for service on Wisconsin farms.
The main points in the scheme are
the following:
Speeding up of all high school work
so that the normal course will be COM
pleted in April, enabling boys to leave
school when the spring farm work be-
gins.
Introduction into the high schools
of special laboratory course in agri-
culture.
Formation of an organization of
Big Brothers among the farmers and
retired farmers of the state who will
volunteer to take high school boys into
their homes for week ends and teach
them the rudiments of farming.
Campaign of education among the
farmers through the county agricultu-
raj agents and the farmers Institutes,
in order to make clear the new move
ment
Survey carried on through the rural
schools which will show the labor and
seed grain needs of the state.
Meetings were held in every county
on Jan. Is of school men, agricultural
agents. and farmers to institute the
new plan.

FEED FOWLS SPR0UTED OATS
Enables Farmer to Reduce Grain Ra-
ton About One Third--lnfIuences
Laying of Hens.

Giving the hens once a day all the
sprouted oats they want to eat, which
is about square inch of sprouts, grain
and roots, enables one to reduce the
grain ration about one-third and there
by effecting saving in high-priced
grain. Dat sprouts can be produced at
about 20 to % cents per bushel, while
the price of wheat is about $3.50 per
bushel. 1t is also remarkable how
sprouted oats influence the laying of
the hens. A change in this respect can
be noticed within a few days after
sprouted oats have been fed.

INDICATES GOOD LAYING HEN
Large Bright Red Comb Is Character
Istic of Best Producers-Notice
the Black Minorcas.

One of the characteristics of a good
laying hen. is a large comb. The old
timers used to say, "the bigger the
comb, the better the layer" and there
is great deal of truth in it. Notice
the large comb of the black Minorca
one of our very best layers, and the
layer of the largest egg of any breed
Notice the large combs of the Leghorns,
the best of egg-layers. Put it down as
an axiom of truth that a hen with a
large comb, and bright red comb, is
a good layer.

With the increased cost of produc-

meat value of the dairy animal now is

Outlook Encouraging, Says
M. A. O'Connell.

The farmers Of the reservation are
putting every available acre under cui-
tivation this year and they are still en-
gagged in the work of seeding and plow-
ing said NJ. A. O'ConnelI, a prominent
rancher of the reservation town, who
is in Missoula on his way to Wyoming
to look after interests in the oil fields
there.
Last year grasshoppers and dfouth
did much damage to the crops, but this
year there is so much moisture in the
ground that 1t will take an exceptions
ally dry season TO do any great harm
AS 1t is, everyone is looking forward
to one of the best years in the history
OF the reservation. The work of fight
ing gophers and squirrels is being car
ried on by some of the farmers, but so
far there has been no extensive work
done along that line.
Il understand the work of ballasting
the new railroad is proceeding very
rapidly and last week they had reached
as far as D'Aste. st. Ignatius, al
though it is not on the new line, will
not lose any business, because it is
only o few miles from Ravalli, which
is the nearest railroad station for that
community"
