Feb. 26-"Camouflage." or the art
OF making a soldier look like IA tree,
a battery look like clump OF
bushes. and army headquarters like
a peaceable farm, and village like
a few acres OF pasture land Ia now
said to have been originated by Com
mandant Kopenhague Of the French
army. Experiments were made In
October, 1912, at the Camp OF
Avord, the object then In view be-
ing to render troop OF infantry in
visible to observers In airplanes.
The success then achieved did not
establish the institution because the
means employed were so cumber-
some and expensive In execution. II
was not only after the arst few
months Of the war that the painters
services were called into play and
canvas and paint as well as under
brush became useful adjuncts OF the
army.

The marketing OF dairy products
Is becoming more and more a mat

Handling. storing. marketing and
delivery costs must all be paid at ses-

producer takes or Is given what Is
left.
To correct this condition the route

plished through. the producers TAX
ing an active interest in marketing
questions.
II is not enough to have cows fed
the right combinations and amounts
of food and kept under favorable
conditions. The form in which pro-
ducts are sold, their condition and
the manner in which marketing Is
done Is Of equal importance with
production or In some instances even
more.
Every dairyman keeping one or
more cocws should interest himself
in this important question for each

nothing is more worth a producers

George A. Glynn, chairman of the

terday that through the work of the
State Food Commission, the Council of
Farms and Markets and other Federal
and state agencies for increasing pro-
duction of foodstuffs the State of New
York, if weather conditions are favor
able, will this year raise as much
wheat as is normally consumed in a
year by the state.
"The figures should come from Cal
vim J. Huson, former Commiss oner of
Agriculture, who has the matter di-
rectly in charge" said Mr.. Glynn, "but
l understand that Mr.. Huson's division
has stimulated production to the cx-
tent of getting farmers of the Empire
State to plant 100000 acres of spring
wheat. This, | am told, is several times
the normal average, and it means that
Tor the hrst time In years New York

speakers seemed to think it was de-
plorable that there was surplus of
100000 bushels of potatoes in the
state awaiting a market. While it will
be deplorable if any of those potatoes
rot on the hands of the owners, | still
fail to sec how surplus of foodstuffs
can be looked at as a calamity. Per
