Allied Governments Purchases
in the United States

Arrangements we're entered into shortly after the beginning Of the
war by the secretary Of the treasury, with the approval of the president,
with the governments Of Great Britain, France, Russia, Italy, Belgium and
Serbia, whereby Bernard NJ. Baruch, Robert S. Lovett and Robert 8.
Brookings Of the war industries board were designated a commission
through whom or with whose approval or consent all purchases in the
United States of materials and supplies by or ON behalf Of these govern
ments shall be made.
Under this arrangement these governments communicate their re-
quirements for materials and supplies to this commission through their
designated purchasing agents in this country, and the commission then
uses its best efforts TO obtain offers Of the materials and supplies required
at the best obtainabe prices and trims, of delivery and otherwise, and
submits the same to the purchasing agent concerned, it being no part OF
the commissions duty to prepare and sign contracts, or to supervise their
execution, or to determine technical details, or to carry out the inspection
of materials, all Of which matters re cared for by the governments con-
cerned.
The foreign governments have agreed not to make purchases in the
United States otherwise than through or with the consent Of the commits
sion. The arrangements provide that nothing expressed or implied, nor
anything done OF omitted by the commission, shall impose any obligation
or liability upon the United States whether to advance moneys, to e-
tabish credits, or otherwise. The purchasing commission in carrying out
the terms OF this agreement, says Commerce Reports, is endeavorrng TO see
first that the wants of the governments associated with the United states
in the wal are supplied as promptly as possible, and without interfering
with the requirements of our own government. This necessarily involves
the finding Of a source Of supply from which articles needed by the allies
can be obtained without prejudice TO contracts placed with the United
States government for articles of the same kind, and in many cases it has
been found necessary to develop new sources Of supply-that is, to induce
some one who has not been previously making the articles needed to pro-
duce them.

FEEDING FOWLS FOR
MEAT AND EGGS

In feeding the flock an effort should
be made TO do so as cheaply as pos
slble. consistent with the production OF
eggs. To accomplish this all table
scraps, kitchen waste, etc, should be
utilized. Scraps Of meat or leftover
vegetables which cannot be utilized In
any other way make excellent feed.
There are also many other waste prod
ucts, such as beet tops, turnlp tops,
carrot tops, potato pnrIngs. onion tops,
the outside leaves OF cabbages, waste
lettuce leaves, bread and cake crumbs,
etc, all Of which are rellshed by the
hens and can be used to the best ad-
vantage. In saving the scraps and
waste II Is well TO separate the por-
lions adapted for feeding to the flock
and place these In a receptacle or pail
OF their own Decomposed waste ma
terial or moldy bread or cake should
never be saved to feed to the hens, as
II Is harmful to them and may cause
serious bowel trouble. Sloppy mate
rial, such as dlshwater, should not he
thrown into their pail. II Is also use
less TO put in such things ms banana
peels or the skins of oranges, as these
have little or no food value. Any sOur
milk which Is not utilized In the house
should be given TO the chickens. This
should be fed separately, however,
either by allowing the hens 10 drink
II or by allowing It to clnbbcr on the
bnck of the stove and then feeding II
in that condition. When the fHmlly's
table waste Is not sufficient for feed
ing the flock, II Is usually possible TO
get some Of the ~neighbors who keep
no hens TO ave material suitable for
feeding. Mnny people are glad to do
this II n small pail In which TO place
the waste II furnished.
Table scraps and kitchen waste are
best prepared for feeding by running
them through an ordinary meat
grinder. After the material has been
put through the grinder Il Is usually
a rather moist mass. and II Is well to
mix with Il some cornmenl bran or
other ground grain until the whole
mass assumes "a crumbly condition.
