Immediately upon the outbreak OF
the war the state Agricultural col
leges revised their programs, rear
ranging their work to meet the situa-
uon. Heads Of colleges called upon
the Home Economics Teachers to see
what could be done in the matter Of
food production and conservation.
Forthwith they planned emergency
training for senior students, who were
given instruction in special classes
and many Of them sent back TO their
home communities for the purpose Of
producing food and stimulating others
to like efforts Matter was published
and sent throughout the states for the
use OF clubs and OF individuals, and
it is an interesting fact that before
the establishment OF the Food Ad-
ninistraton the agricultural colleges
throughout the United States had
their emergency work in home econ
omics well in hand
The state Agricultural College, Of
Iowa, stands prominently for Home
Economics, and since the United
States went into the war its work has
served as q stimulating influence in
food production and conservation
which is not only statewide but has
become national The state Colleges
Of Minnesota, Oregon, New York,
Kansas, Wisconsin, Ohio and Utah,
are among those which, cooperating
with the Department Of Agriculture
and their State Councils of Defense
and the organized working units Of
every state have made for a solid
mass of constructive work in food
production, whose scope is limited

NOW as to gardens" said Professor
Corbett. We want to develop these
gardens in just as economical a way
as possible We would make each
town and village utilize its own ma
terials for fertilizers. There is at
hand in every rural community, the
refuse from the stable and chicken
house, and the wood ashes. Carefully
handled such material contributes to
the enrichment Of land with the very
best results. and leaves commercial
fertilizers for those who must pur-
chase them as a matter OF necessity.
City Compost Dump.
For the cities, 1 am prepared to
advocate u municipal compost dump
IN some one Of the many waste places
on the outskirts of every town. This
would provide a valuable source Of
supply to be drawn upon at will by
the people for their back and vacant
lot gardens. The American people
must learn to make as light a draft
as possible upon the commercial in
dustries, which are reQuisitioned by
war needs, AS another instance, II n
hoe or a rake is broken they should
mend it, and so save industry and
material for the greater need Of the
day"

canning will be among the leading
projects along usual lines. As ono OF
the newer features OF the work Of
1913 will be the growing Of sugar
beets for the purpose Of manufactur-
ing syrups and sweets to relieve the
sugar stringency.
ANY state that viii produce Pota-
toes will grow beets, and any girl or
boy can produce syrup from these
beets by the tested methods which
have been at their disposal by the
Department OF Agriculture" said Pro
fessor Corbett. Beet syrup may be
used for all purposes for which other
syrups or molasses may be employed
and will so long way toward reiiev-
ing the sugar shortage
Other original processes which Pro
fessor Benson will introduce among
his clubs this season are vegetable
marmalades and fruit and vegetable
candy, all of which have been sue
cessfully worked out in the labora-
tories OF the Department of Agricul-
ture. He Is also stresSfng quick meat
production, pork and poultry raising
being among his projects also the or
ganizlng OF lamb and sheep clubs,
by means OF which he hopes to in
fluence the wool supply. Professor
Benson will also encourage the general
utilization Of rabbits and other wild
game, especially recommending their
canning and drying as measure Of
food conservation.

There are over 100000 Amer
lean children OF school age in the
United States. Their work may be
made wonderful asset in the war If
they are inspired to do IT in the right

to double this amount during the year
