THE NATIONS OUTPUT OF BEEF

An adequate supply Of beef will
prove to be one Of the greatest factors
in winning this war, just as it has al
ways been prime factor in previous
wars. The United States stands today
as the one country with large supplies
of cattle available for the use of it's own
forces and those of its Allies Despite
the deplorable shortage Of ships we now
are able to send meat in greatly in
creased quantities to Europe. There
fore, the question confronting us is
How to encourage anG stimulate pro-
iuCtiOn.
see no real danger of beef famine,
as has been predicted by some, if we
take action promptly and with common
sense. AS matter of fact, official fig
ures of the Department Of Agriculture,
recently issued, show decided gain in
cattle in the United States during the
past year. The figures are reassuring
Total cattle on farms and ranges, Jan
uary 1, 1918, &c, 83O,000; on January 1,
1911, "a. 5S3 COO; or a gain of 2,247, coo
animals.
OF the cattle on hand January 1,
1918, 43, 546 900 were beef cattle-nearly
100000 more than a year previously.
This gain is despite enormous ship
ments Of cattle to central markets dur
ing the past year. Receipts of cattle at
the fifty three central markets during
1917 exceed those Of 1915 by 1857 ,062
head, or a gain Of 26 per cent. The
exact figures We're as follows: During
1917, 90 ,239, 62S head; 1916, 1862, Ste.
Now that the shortage of ships for
the movement Of food to Europe has
been relieved, our exports Of beef are
increasing enormously. In the first ten
months of 1917, exports Of fresh beef
totaled 1874 1877 ,512 pounds-a gain over
1916 Of % per cent. But in the follow
ing three months December. 1917, and
January and February, 1879 our ship
ment of fresh beef to the Allies alone
aggregated 1913, 100000 pounds.-From

INCUBATION OF LECUMES
BY George D. Springer, Emergency
Demonstration Agent.

Demonstration Agent.
The legume plants, such as alfalfa
clover, soy beans, peas etc, have the
power to take large part of their food
from the air This plant food is nitro
gen, which is used in the making of
vegetative growth and which is an
essential part of protein.
Where legume crop is being raised
for the first time or where it has repeat
edly failed it is always advisable to
inoculate, either the ground or the seed.
If the incubation is successful the crop
will then be increased in amount. |
have in mind field of alfalfa in which
the yield was increased one ton to the
acre by incubation. A field of soy
beans was a failure last summer because
the plants were not inoculated. Even
the yield of common white beans have
been increased by inoculating, where
white beans had not been grown
recently.
The legume plants can make this
additional growth only where they are
inocuated. incubation is simply the
putting of the bacteria into the soil
from the air This is done by two
methods:
First: Spreading about 400 lbs. of
dirt (taken from an inoculated field to
the acre on the field to be inoculated.
This dirt should be narrowed in before
the bacteria are killed by the sun.
Secondly: Applying a pure culture
to the seed. This culture may be OBJ
tanned from the Agricultural Bacter
iology Department, College of Agricul-
turc, Madison, Wisconsin. The cost
will be 20 cents per acre-enough to
cover the cost Of materials. The appli
cation for the culture should be made
at least ten Gays before it is time to
plant 1t is necessary for the farmer to
state the number of acres and the kind
Of crop he expects to plant
AS farmers we are told that increased
production will win the war. Ia most
cases, that increase must come without
the lengthening of the workday. In the
raising of legumes the easiest way to
increase production is to see that the
seed is properly inoculated, and in some
cases, that there is a plentiful supply
Of lime.

hind the third Liberty loan the full

from General Pershing. It follows:
"Every dollar subscribed to the Lib
erty loan is dollar invested in Ameri-
can manhood. Every dollar subscribed
as the result of seIf-denia means
partnership in the hardships and
risks of our men in the trenches.
Every dollar subscribed will confirm
the determination of our people at
home to stand by it's army to a VIC
torious end.
"An overwhelming subscription to
the third Liberty loan will be a pa
triotic expression of confidence in our
ability as nation to maintain al! that
we hold dear in civilization"

authorizing the third Liberty loan.

The Tacoma dry squad made
big haul of wine late Friday when
Capt. Dyment with Officers Bry-
ant, Guy and Blake swooped down
on the residence of Frank Tel,
moulder at the Griffin Wheel
Works, at ABA South Union av.
They brought him to headquar-
ters together with 800 quarts OF
wine, which Tel is alleged to have
manufactured in the basement of
his house. State charges will al
so probably be filed against him.
The liquor. officers say, was
cached away in a most ingenious
device under the threshold of the
door connecting two rooms in the
basement, the crack being COM
ple.ely invisible when the door
was shut. Officers believe that
Tel made the wine.
