DON'T SEND SOWS TO MARKET

Missouri farmers were asked last
fall to increase their pork output in
1918 by 80 per cent. This request
was made by the United States De-
partment of Agriculture and the Food
Administration. Following a meeting
of the livestock producers of Missou-
ri at Columbia early in November, the
University of Missouri College of
Agriculture put twenty hog produc-
ers in the field to urge the required
increase. Reports from these farm
ers indicate that Missouri will meet
the required quota if breeding stock
can be found. The ono limiting fac
tor will be brood sows and gifts.
Following the increase in prices,
a large number Of unfinished hogs
were thrown upon the market. These
includcd brood sows and gifts which
farmers were afraid to hold because
of the possibility Of a drop in the
market. Such sales have reduced the
possibility of the necessary increase.
Since the campaign started, the num-
Der of brood sows and gifts which
have been marketed has decreased.
but indications are that some are still
being sold. Farmers who have breed
ing stock should make every effort to
breed and hold the animals. Those
who have not the feed or do not care
to breed the animals should by all
means sell them to farmer who has
the feed. Ample market for all avail
able animals exists in practically ev-
cry community. Pork producers will
undoubtedly pay as much for sows
and gifts as the owner could obtain
on the market.
The country needs these animals
and every one must be saved. In case
a market cannot be found in the
neighborhood, an advertisement in
the local newspapers will rapidly
bring buyer.

CATSUP AND CONSERVATION

IA diner in an Indianapolis restaurant
who asked for a service of catsup
noted that the bottle bore a label OF
a Philadelphia maker. The manager
was asked about the waste of trans
portation facilities involved in I'm.
porting from Pennsylvania a food
stuff prepared in quantities at home.
The reply of the restaurant man con-
stitutes potent conservation argu-
ment. He said the diner was ex-
tremely lucky to get catsup at all
that he was unable to buy it from
wholesalers and now had men scour-
ing small retail grocery stores of the
city in an effort to buy any amount
they were willing to sell. The Phila-
delphia bottle had come from this
source and probably had been in the
city for two years. There was sim
liar difficulty in getting other sup
plies. Statesmen formerly came with
thick book of sales lists; now they
come with two or three sheets and
with orders from their firm to sell
only what they had to sell to supply
old customers.
A food famine in this country of
enormous natural resources seems
like an unpleasant dream extremely
unlikely Of fulfillment. 1t is by no
means impossible as recent experience
es have indicated. The outlook makes
the attitude of those who object to
the governments mild conservation
measures most eXasperating. If gen.
eral cooperation is not given in the
plans fer cutting down in the use of
certain foods, we may expect eventu-
ally to be forced to do without such
foods Observation-Disclosures News.

ATTACKED FROM THE REAR

On last Saturday evening as ! was
returning from Pennington on horse
back (having left the mail hack at
the shop for repairs) just after /
passed John Bowling's, Bill Nell ran
into me with his horse and buggy
while he was going at a frightful
speed and knocked the horse and me
violently down in the road on the ice
and the horse fell on me, MASKING and
bruising me up in q fearful manner,
so that / have been barely able to get
about since. AS young Nell came
darting up behind me he made no eff
fort of any kind to pull his horse to
one side and the shaft Of his buggy
caught my leg and the wheels struck
my horse dead center, with the above
result. T. B. CHANDLER.

FIRST ANNUAL ROAD

IN ST. LOUIS

The State Highway Board in ses-
sion at Jefferson City January 8, de-
cided to hold its first annual "Road
Week" in st. Louis, February to z,
inclusive, in connection with the an
nual meeting of the American AS
ISOLATION of Road Builders, which is
scheduled to hold its convention at
the new Statier Hotel in st. Louis on
the dates given. .
Moving pictures of the two prison
road camps, in which "honor mem
from the State penitentiary are used,
will be shown, together with numer-
Gus other views of "state roads" now
under construction in Missouri.
In order that every county Judge,
county highway engineer, or road ov-
erseer, who attends the "Road Week"
sessions, may have voice in the pro-
ceedings, and to provide a satisfac-
tory answer for every question asked,
"Querry Box" will be conducted.
The State Highway Department will
also "Call the Roll" by counties at
every session, and a record will be
kept to ascertain the interest mani
Tested by the officials and public
spirited citizens of each county in

tenance.
A very helpful feature of "Road
Week" will be the free use of test
ing laboratory, and all counties are
urged to send specimens of rock or
gravel to be tested. The work of test
ing will be done in the presence of the
person bringing the sample. The rel
ative value of road building materials
can thus be determined. This will be
one of the regular features of "Road
Week., and we want every county to
take ADVANTAGE of il this wear

Friday i'm place of the annual Field
Day exercises of The county schools
great patriotic meeting was held
the chief feature OF the occasion be-
Ing n parade of the schools OF the
county IL was n success beyond the
antieipations OF the most sanguine. and
the parade was "a spectacle that i'm
spired greater loyalty and greater de
termination in the hearts OF all to

The parade formed on the School
Square between III and 12 O'Clock anil
after concert by the Camp jackson
band the line of march was taken up
as outlined I'm the programme printed
heretofore. Chief OF Police Sumter
on horseback headed the line, follow
eel by the Camp Jackson Band and
the High School Battalion, more than
one hundred and scventy-five strong.
and then came the school children,
each school being formed as a unit
marching I'm double file. The line of
march extended erom the school
square up Washington, Calhoun,
Main. Liberty and back to the square.
The number I'm line may be estimat-
ed by the fact that when the last
school upit was leaving the Square
the head OF the parade was in Liberty
street nearing the starting point. In
the absence of accurate figures the
number OF children i'm the parade Is
conservatively estimated at more
than twenty-five hundred. There are
q few more than eleven hundred
children enrolled i'm the city schools
and the units representing the city
schools did not make up quite half of
the parade.
