TURKEY GOBBLERS BY GERMAN PAPER

Washington, Feb. 18-In the present
campaign of the United States Depart-
ment of Agriculture to increase the
production of poultry upon the farm,
the turkey raiser is particularly well
able to respond. The turkey is a farm
bird, first and last, and is especially
suited to the grain and stock farms
where there is ample ranging ground
Astounding in such turkey food as
grasshoppers and other insects. weed
seeds, and waste grain, such as is left
in the fields after harvest. On such
a farm, the present prices of grain
affect the turkey raiser but little, for
with the exception of what is used at
fattening time, the feed consumed is
largely of such a kind as would other
wise be wasted.
With but little additional outlay to
the farmer, many more turkeys could
and should be raised. The small num-
Der of turkeys per farm in the United
States is surprising. According to the
census of 1910, which is the latest
census that has been taken, only 1877
per cent. of the total number of farms
reported any turkeys at all and On
these farms reporting turkeys, an
average of but slightly over four
breeding turkeys was found per farm.
There are some farms which by the
nature of the crops grown Oh them
or because of unfavorable surround
ings are not adapted to turkey rails
ing, but mos: farms are adapted to
turkey raising and could easily handle
j: ,eding flock of from 10 10 Is ben
turkeys and tom, raising from IS to
$50 turkeys each year at good
profit.
Good prices were paid TO the t1lr-
key raiser during the past marketing
season. On December Is, 1917, the
average price per pound live weight
! paid to the farmer was 30.5 cents in
New ork State. 23.7 cents ia illinois
Is cents in Georgia, 1913 cents ir
Texas, and 27.1 cents in California
The average price throughout the
United States was % cents.

Hartford, Feb. 1S.-Secretary of the
Navy Josephus Daniels has Joined the
list of prominent government officials
who have telegraphed to the Connect
lieut. State Council of Defense empha-
sizing the importance of the enroll
ment of shipyard volunteers now go
ing on in Connecticut under the direc-
ton of the defense council and Leo
A. Korper, federal director, in coop
Grafton.
The telegram received last night
from Secretary Daniels says:
ships, ships and more ships is the
call of the hour. We must have them
to carry our armies to Europe and to
keep our troops and our allies sup
piled with food and munitions. Gen
eral Pershing calls for a bridge Of
ships across the Atlantic and that is
what we are bending every effort to
furnish him. We must have more
! ships to win the war. We must have
them for the great merchant marine
under the American flag to all the
worlds ports after the war.
EVERY vessel that is turned out in
! this country counts toward the defeat
! of Germany. Every worker in a ship
yard can feel that he is doing a part
toward winning this struggle only less
important than that of the men on
! our warships or in the trenches. Let
/ Americans who are not called for mil
itary service enlist in the army Of
shiphbuilders and work for the flag
which our soldiers and sailors are
fighting to uphold. Victory ships is
a good name for the vessels being

STRIKERS ARE
APPEALED TO
BY ESIOENT

Washington, Feb. Is - President
to William L. Hutcheson, general
president of the United Brotherhood
of Carpenters and Joiners of America:
Il have received your telegram of
yesterday and am very glad to note
the expression of your desire as a
patriotic citizen to assist in carrying
on the work by which we are trying
to save America and men everywhere
who work and are free.
Taking advantage of that assur
ance, 1 feel it TO be my duty to call
your attention to the fact the strike
of the carpenters in the shipyards is
in marked and painful contrast to the
action of labor in other trades and
Races:
: ships are absolutely necessary for
the winning of this war.
mo one can strike a deadlier blow
at the safety of the nation and of its
forces on the other side than by in
terfering with or obstructing the
shipbuiIding program.
"All the other unions engaged in
this indispensable work have agreed
to abide by the decisions of the ship
building wage adjustment board. That
beard has dealt fairly and literally
with all who have resorted to. it.
IT must say to YOU very frankly
that it is your duty to leave to it the
solution of your present difficulties
with your employers and to advise
the men whom you represent to re-
turn at once to work, pending the de-
cison.
mo body of men have the moral
right in the present circumstances Of
the nation to strike until every
method of adjustment has been tried
to the limit.
'If you do not act upon this prin.
ciple you are undoubtedly giving
aid and comfort to the enemy, what
ever may be your own conscious pur
pose. = do not see that anything will
be gained by my seeing you person
ally until you have accepted and acteC
upon that principle.
at is the duty of the government
to see that the best possible condi
tons of labor are maintained, as it i
also its duty to see to it that Their
is no 1awless and conscienceles
profteering. and that duty the gov
eminent has accepted and will per
form. Will you cooperate or vii

WASHINGTON WAS
ONE OF GREATEST
WARCOMMANDERS

AS the years go on, George Wash
ington, Father of His Country, re-
cedes into the past and seems like a
shadowy figure of antiquity. The
tendency with many people is to re-
gard Abraham Lincoln as the larger
of the two figures. 1t is true that
Lincoln faced and grasped an incom-
paratively bigger situation, and con-
tended with far greater forces. Yet
the resources back of him and at his
command were infinitely greater.
Washington's greatness is seen in
comparison with the pitifully meager
means which he controlled. The COM
mander of a broken force of ragged
patriots, half fed, half clothed, poorly
armed, his attempt must have seemed
hopeless to the worldly wise of his
time.
It was not merely the foe he faced,
but the petty and sordid divisions of
the forces behind him. He was the
leader not of nation, but of a group
of jealous and pickering states and of
faint hearted Congress. Under any
ordinary generalship, his grotesquely
equipped army would have turned tail
and scattered within year. But
somehow by consummate faith in the
guiding hand of Providence, by a
speed of thought and action that out
witted a vastly superior foe he won
out against all human odds. So he
will ever be regarded by history as
one of the worlds greatest military
, commanders.
1t was another test of Washington's
sameness that he was not drawn into
the petty political feuds of his later
years. He was bigger than any poll
teal party, able to see beyond and
around the ordinary partisan view
point.

The Wheat Price Veto.

President Wilson has earned the graft.
tlide of the country by his veto of the
bill fixing the minimum price Of wheat
at $40 bushel for the crop that is
now being harvested. It took courage
for him to return that measure without
his signature, for his act is likely to
prove an expensive one for his party IN
the coming congressional elections in the
wheat growing states, The wheat grow
ers are certain to resent the loss Of the
added hundreds Of millions that the bill
would have put into their pockets-to re.
sent the loss of that sum much more
keenly than the -four consumers will APP
preciate the saving of it.
Nevertheless, the attitude Of the pres.
ident ia both economically sound and pa
triotic in the broadest sense. In the face
Of conditions that have stimulated the
farmers to plant largely increased acre
age of wheat and Of a wheat crop of
bumper proportions there is no iusti-
fcation for legislation that would add 50
barrel--and that at the mill--to the
present high price Of -four. The increase
would have forced up Canadian wheat
as we'll and would have been an expen.
sive thing for England and France, in
addition to forcing up the cost of living
throughout this country There would
have been another excuse for demanding
higher wages in all the industrial eenters
land for the benefit of the wheat farm
ers, who were never before so prosper
GUS in their lives.
If the old law of supply and demand
must be suspended in the matter Of
wheat, the present method Of regulating
the price by conference Of all concerned
is far 10 be preferred to the arbitrary,
and unduly high, minimum price that
the bill in question would have estab-
lished. The present method works we'll.
The wheat raisers have no grievance.
They are not so sorely in need Of the
added 1887 100000 that the bill would
have given them as the consuming pub.
lie is in need of it for other necessities
Of life. All praise TO President Wilson
for a veto that is sound and courage.
