ready doing what they can to overcome
this shortage. They are planning to
grow just as many vegetables as pos
SIble for winter storage and canning,
as well as for summer use.
Foot for foot, gardens in city or
country yield 10 to Is times more
abundantly than farm land devoted to
general crops. The gardener is an in
tensive farmer on a small scale. A
half-acre easily produces vegetables
worth 500 at normal prices, while
smaller tracts do even better
There is another point that must be
emphasized-this spring will not be the
time for half-hearted attempts at gar
dening. The slogan of this nationwide
movement is Get in and Stay In" If
you are not determined to "stick,"
don't start; but before deciding con-
slider carefully what the decision may
mean to you and your family next win
ter.
Remember. it requires more than talk
and a few tive-cent packages of garden
seeds to make a profitable backyard gar
den.
Don't hesitate to grow vegetables for
summer, fall and winter use.

This chart answers the question,
'Who gets the money paid by the con-
sumner for milk?'
The farmer gets about half of the
consumers dollar and the rest Of it is
paid to the railroad company, the bot
Ting plant, and the delivery man.
B. Fl. Hibbard of the College Of Ag-
riculture testified before one of the
milk commission hearings that the
farmers share might be increased if he
could avoid producing a surplus at GER
tain seasons Of the year, or if he could
himself take care Of such surplus with
out throwing it upon the milk market
However, the increase cannot be as
great as has at times been claimed.

the present form of German govern
ment exists.
The length Of this war depends upon
US; for this reason we dare not fall
ter. We must raise the food to feed
! ourselves and our allies. We should
redOuble our efforts, even though we
will be handicapped by lack Of help.
When I hear a farmer say that he
cannot put in all his farm for the
want of help, doubt his true patriot
ism. If our boys sent "over there"
are dying that we might live and en-
| JOY the blessing of q free country, why
not do all in our power to see that
they are we'll fed and clothed? We
ought to be only too glad to do all
we can to help them win this war
that has been forced upon us.
Because we live in a country gov
erned by the people, how many, times
have we been watched with abated
breath by the whole world. No man
should be born to govern another.
What would we think of our boys
over there If they laid down their
arms and surrendered because they
didn't have as many men as the en-
envy approaching them? No, a true
American would just redouble his eff
forts. Remember our country was
won for us against fearful odds.
! Are we going to lay down our arms
DIV 10 oh hnrn of homo
because we are short of help? It is
+ true that we have idle men. These
will be put to work some day, fear
not.
! Do you want to meet the tear
stained face of a mother who has just
i got word that her son is dead in
! France because he wasn't provided
for by us here at home? Either in
| food, nursing, or medical aid we, not
the enemy, would be the cause of that
! boys death and that mothers sorrow.
AS spring approaches, do you know
how / feel about the crop we are 60
ing to raise? You have often seen a
great horse race on. with the horses
dashing down the track before the
| judges and grandstand. They go past
the wire, but conditions are not just
right for start; the bell sounds, and
they come back. When the weather
looks like spring we start, but cold
spell calls us back. But some day
soon my friends, spring will come
with all its glory, and there will be
no bell to call us back. The race will
be on-such q race as was never be-
fore witnessed. We will go on
through dust and mud, never once
looking back, always straight ahead.
Editors Note-Our next issue will
contain the second Of this series of
letters by James Fisher, one of the
leading farmers in southwestern Wis
consin. He is taking the place on the
farm made vacant by his son when
he left to fight for Uncle Sam.

Seed Treatment Form of Patriotism

Seed Treatment Form of Patriotism.
Several new lines of effort will be
undertaken this year by members of
the Wisconsin Agricultural Expert
ment association. All members are
being urged to treat all seed grains
for the prevention of smut and other
diseases. Many farmers are already
beginning to lose quite a percentage
of oats from smut. There is no neces-
sity for any loss as the method Of
treatment is simple and very effective.
A bulletin giving full information con-
corning the treatment Of grains for
smut can be secured by dropping a
card to the Wisconsin College Of Ag-
riculture, Madison.
