FOOD PROBLEMS OF
CHILDREN BIC ONES

The proper feeding of children and
infants cannot be over estimated and
the Florida state Health Department
desires to emphasize this Importance.
especially during the stress and strain
of war times.
Milk is the important food for in
fants and young children. On ac-
count of the high prices and the diff
ficulty of getting the proper supply;
there may be a tendency to substitute
other foods. The use of substitutes
and under feeding OF good wholesome
milk must be guarded against. The
result of such practices are beginning
to be shown abroad and even in some
of our large cities in this country
due to war conditions.
The ChiIdrens Bureau of the United
States Department of Labor shows a
decrease in the amount of milk now
available and IN the amount which is
finding its way to children OF poor
families. This is a matter OF great
importance in connection with the ma
ton wide campaign now on, to save
one hundred thousand lives Of chill

The people should realize the great
importance of dairy products for the
chiIdren's need. Ma1nutrition has
been problem for a long time.
especially in the large cities and IL is
doubly so now. brought about by the
high prices and the strenuous times.
It has been shown that the increase in
the price of milk for the past year
caused the decrease in the amount
consumed by children.
Inasmuch as milk is the proper food
for the young children, any reduction
in the supply will no doubt cause
higher morbidity and mortality rate
The Childrens Bureau u. s. reports
that in Baltimore there has already
been a reduction in the amount of
fresh milk used, to twenty-nine per
cent now, against sixty per cent one
year ago. At the same time the to-
tai daily purchase of canned milk by
families studied has increased from
25.5 cans to "a cans; also most serious
is the general substitution In the

MANY EXPERIMENTS IN
GARDENING ARE TESTED

LONDON, May 25.-The big war
revival in agriculture is producing
many interesting experiments in the
growing of new crops on land not in
use for growing human food. For ex-
ample, a big area in the country Is
now, on the suggestion of the food
production department, planted with
sunflowers. the seeds of which are
valuable both as a source of oil and
for poultry food
Small cultivators are also urged by
the government to sow sugar beet as
an important food for stock, especial
ly for pigs. Farmers whose cereal
crops have failed owing to attacks
from different kinds of parasite are
advised to grow linseed. The latest re-
ports from the county show unprece-
denied activity in potato Planting in
spite of the bad spring weather.

PLANS MADE FOR STATEWIDE
SILO BUILDING CAMPAIGN
Farm-to-Farm Canvass of State to BE
Made by County Agents Of

College Station, Tex.-Plans for a
statewide silo campaign to be ~waged
continuously until every farmer, live
stock raiser and daiTyman in the state
who can use silo profitably has one.
was decided on at a conference Tues
day.
c. NJ Evans, chief of the animal hus-
bandry division of the extension serv-
ice of Agricultural and Mechanical Col

tions. Further assistance will be af-
forded by an advisory committee eon-
sisting of all the district agents Of the
extension service OF the college, these
agents to keep closely in touch with
the situation in every way by their
travels over their territory and confer
ences with tho county agents under
their charge The county agents in
turn will be instructed to canvass their
counties and ascertain the names Of
all farmers who are able to build silos
and who are so situated as to make
the operation of silo on their place
profitable.
Inasmuch as the government is urg-
ing the building of silos as a means of
conserving the food supply and in
creasing the production of meat, milk
and other food products, the county
councils of defense and the bankers
will be asked to lend their cooperation
in helping to finance responsible farm
ers In the purchase of silos where
financial assistance is needed.

Of agriculture, suggested that the coun-
ty farm demonstration agent be made

ton will cooperate in reaching the
individual farmers Of the various
counties who need silos and are pre-
pared to build them, urging that the
organization bear in mind the need for
encouraging farmers who become in
teTested in silos to raise enough feed
stuff to fill the silos and enough live
stock to feed the silage to profitably,

ESTIMATED COTTON YIELD is
PLACED At n, 100000 BALES
Condition of Cotton Crop Is Indicated
to Be 77.4 Per Cent Normal-WIil
Be Large Surplus.

New York.-The cotton crop has
passed through the first of the two
critical months of the season-July
and August-and shows a condition OF
TIA per cent, or one-tenth of l per
cent below the ten-year average. The
consolidated returns of 1900 special
reports of the Journal of Commerce,
bearing an average date of July %,
shows, with the exception of Texas.
that deterioration in all other states
has been comparatively light, con-
tinued drouth and high temperatures
in nearly all sections of Texas, except
the eastern and southeastern parts,
were almost entirely responsible for
loss of 11.3 points, all other factors Of
damage being practically negligible.
The indicated yield is about 14,500,000
bales, excluding linters, or 100000
including linters. The outlook for the
Southern grower is anything but en-
couraging should the crop reach a.
100000 bales excluding linters, and if
requirements aggregate 100000
bales there will be a surplus of ap-
proximately 100000 bales, which,
added to a carryover of 3,500,00 bales,
would create a surplus of about 6,000,-
900 bales, a huge stock not at all IA
vorable to maintenance of previous
high prices.

cZAR OVERCOME AT
TIME OF EXECUTION.


Amsterdam-Given two hours in
which to prepare for the end, Nicholas
Romanoff, former Russian emperor,
was taken out by his executioners in
such a state of collapse that it was
necessary to prop him against post,
says the Lokal Anzeiger of Berlin,
which claims to have received from a
high Russian parsonage an account of
the emperor's last hours.
Nicholas was awakened at o'clock
in the morning on the day of his exc
eution by a patrol of one noncommis-
stoned officer and six men. He was
taken to a room where the decision of
the soviet government was read to
him. He was informed the execution
would be carried out in two hours.
The former emperor, 1t is said, re-
ceiyed announcement of sentence of
death with great calmness. He turned
to his bedroom and collapsed in a
chair. After few minutes he asked
for priest, with whom he was allow
ed to remain unattended. Subsequent
ly he wrote several letters. When the
escort arrived to take him to the place
of execution Nicholas attempted to
rise from his chair, but was not able.
The priest and soldier were Obliged
to help him get to his feet. The con-
demned man descended the stairs with
difficulty and once he fell down.
AS he was unable to stand without
support when the place of execution
was reached, he was propped against
a post. He raised his hands and seem
ed to be trying to speak, but the rifles
spoke and he fell dead.
