URGES KEEPING HENS
IN CITY BACKWARDS

WASHINGTON. d. c., April ~
The best opportunity for cheap eggs
for city families during the war,
says a recent publication of the
United States department of agri-
culture. lies in keeping enough
hens in the backyard. where they
can be supported principally on kit
chen wastes, TO supply the family
table. The keeping of hens in back
yards is described as being an econ
mic opportunity for city families
and at the same time an essential
part of the campaign for increasing
poultry production.
The smallest and least favorably
situated backyard. says the depart
ment, offers opportunity TO keep at
least enough hens 10 supply eggs for
the household. The number Of hens
needed for that purpose is twice the
number CT persons TO be supplied.
Hence. the smallest flock to be con-
sidered consists of four hens. Where
hens are kept only TO furnish eggs
for the table no male bird is need
ed.
A coop for a flock OF four hens
should have a floor area of about 20
square feet or about five feet per
hen. For larger flocks the space al
lowed per bird may be a little less.
because the space is used in COM
mon, and each bird has the use Of
all the coop except what her COM
panions actually occupy. For the or
binary flock of 10 to 10 hens. the
space allowed should be about four
square feet per hen.

COLOSSAL TASK
BEFORE AMERICA
Champ Clark Reminds Citi,
zenS of What U. S. is Doing
in His Loan Speech.
International News Service

International News Service:
BALTIMORE, Md, April IS
Speaking at the "over there" Lib
erty loan cantonment in fifth regi-
ment armory tonight. Speaker
Champ Clark declared that a failure
to subscribe to this Liberty bond
issue promptly would damage US as
much in our own estimation and in
the worlds estimation as would the
loss of a great battle. 1T would
wound our honor past all surgery"
he said. I'VE cannot afford il. We
must not permit it,
Speaker Clark outlined the part
taken by congress in the prosecution
OF the war. The amount OF work
we have accomplished" he said. "is
amazing. unprecedented, stupendous.
The sums OF money appropriated
and bonds authorized stagger the
magination-aggre more than
six times the cost Of the Civil war.
Every dollar the administration
asked for the preparation and the
conduct OF the war has been expe-
ditiously voted by congress. Never
theless we have on the one hand
been abused by evil-minded, mali
cious. slanderous people for going
too slow and on the other for being
extravagant.
IL Is Colossal Task.
ut has been a colossal task to
suddenly increase our army from
about 100000 men to more than a
million and to largely augment our
naval forceS-to provide canton
ments, guns. uniforms, ships, NUM-
tons and the thousand and one
other things to be done. Truth to
tell. we were all. from the presi-
dent down. thrust into an unexpect-
ed and most difficult situation, be-
ing compelled by the unusual and
unheard Of circumstances to under
take unaccustomed stunts Of world
wide extent and Importance. 1t is
a wonder that we have done so we'll
with the instrumentalities at hand.
''It cannot be stated too OFTEN or
too emphatically that the congress
is willing and ready TO vote every
man and every dollar necessary for
the successful conduct Of the war.
The senseless and malicious abuse
of the congress should cease. It
does a vast amount of devilment and
has a tendency TO undermine the
faith OF the people IN our institu-
tons. Therefore there should be an
end of it for the public good"

RESTRICT IMPORTATION
OF NURSERY STOCK

The secretary of agriculture has
called a public hearing. to be held
in Washington May %, at which
will be considered the ACCESSIBILITY
OF restricting the importation OF
nursery stock and other plants and
seeds from all foreign countries.
The meeting will be held at 10 a.
m. May %, in room IL, federal hor-
ticuitural board. department OF agri-
culture. Any person interested in
the proposed restrictions may be
heard in person or by attorney.
The restrictions are contemplated
in order TO prevent the introduction
into the United States of any tree,
plant or fruit diseases or of any in
furious insects new 10 or not here
tofore prevalent in this country. II
is feared that certain injurious plant
diseases and insect pests may gain
entrance through the agency of or
namental and other plants imported
with earth about their roots. There
is also said 10 be special danger
from plants imported from little
known countries, because lack OF in
formation as TO the insect pests or
plant diseases OF such countries
makes il impossible safely TO pass
such plants by inspection or to safe
guard them by disinfection.
Many of the most important in
furious insects and plant diseases
have been introduced in this coun-
try through such importations. on
the other hand is a long list OF sim
iiariy destructive insects and dis
eases which have not yet gained en-

:
There are about 1000. 900 men
now under arms, training to fight.
and it takes a lot Of money TO feed,
clothe, transport and equip such a
force Of consumers who previously
were self-suppOrting. Uncle Sam
cannot at once reach into the peck
cts OF those who stay at home and
draw out by taxation enough money
TO pay bills of such an army and
navy. The only possible source of
ready cash is TO borrow from those
who have Ii.
The farmers have shown their
energy in producing the largest
crops and have endured hardships
due TO "A shortage of help, and 1 be-
lieve they will loan TO Uncle Sam

KEEPING THE GIRL ON .
THE FARM. .

: = - .
In the April Farm and Fireside,
there is an editorial which reads:
"A great deal is said about keep
ing the boy on the farm; not so
much about keeping the girl there.
Yet the latter is quite as important
as the former. The country needs
fine, competent women leaders in
community life fully as much as it
needs men who will lead in first
class farming
The home and its surroundings
are what count in keeping the girl
interested in rural life. Every girl.
as she grows up. wants attractive.
interesting things. If she cannot
find them at home. she will find
them elsewhere.
1T is not an expensive matter
to make things attractive for the
growing girl. 1t is more a matter
of thought than cost. She wants,
first of all, pretty room. A man
or woman who is at all handy can
enamel the furniture in white.
F'lowered chintz can be bought and
curtains easily made for the win
dows.
None OF these things cost much
money. OF course, they all cost
something, but no more than rea-
sonably prosperous farm family can
afford-nO more than il would glad
ly expend If il realized that this
meant the difference between the
girls staying in the community and
her going to the city TO make her
own way"

Herbert quick says in the April
Farm and Fireside:
1T takes longer to call the far
meTs from the fields than the city
jewellers from the shops for many
do not hear the first blast Of the
trumpet. and others do not at first
understand its meaning because
they have not had the time to talk
the matter over with their ac-
quaintances on the street corners.
in the stores. on the cars. in the
clubs, and at other gatherings. or TO
read half a dozen extras a day.
The farmer must have more time.
In a sudden emergency, to make up
his mind.
1t is impossible to set the far
mers of the United states on fire
by means of any sudden spark or
rumor, or TO blow a chance catch
Of flame among them into a con-
tiagration with any hand bellows
OF artificial agitation. but when the
farmers do ignite, they burn with
a slow, hot fire which nothing can
put out. They are sometimes the
last to heat up. but they stay hot;
and in "A long fight they are always
found sturdily carrying the battle
across No Mans Land 10 the foe.
in the last grim struggle They
fight the sow rearguard action that
covers retreat in disaster, and their
stubborn valOr always helps TO turn
the tide toward victory in the final
triumph. The American farmer will
give all that he has and all that he
is TO win this war against war. this
struggle TO win again the victory
which we fondly believed we had
twice won in the past"

FARMERS ALIVE To SIT
UATION.
BY Arthur G. Page, Editor,
Orange Judd Farmer.

=
The more we learn about the IN
derhanded work which led up to
this war. the more proud we are TO
De in it and the more determined
that it must be a thorough job. 1t
is costing a great deal, OF money.
but no money was ever better spent.
In the middle west farming we have
learned the Importance OF using the
best machinery, the best livestock
and the best seed. Now that we are
engaged for awhile in another Oc-
cupation. We favor having the best
army and the best guns and equip
ment for it, The spirit of these
western prairies was pretty well
typifed in Pres't Wilson's remark
that the quickest way out of this
war is straight through.
Knowing farm folks as l do, as
sumo that no urging is necessary,
when the government tells US plain
ly what il wants us 10 do. Last year
it wanted a world-Tecord crop, and
we raised it. This year il wants
more pork. and information which
comes TO us from cornbelt farmers
indicates that the pork is going to
be there on schedule time. Right
now the government wants US TO
lend il a few hundred million dol
lars with government bonds as Sc
curity. Not only will we hand over
the money gladly but if Uncle Sam
will come back after harvest time
probably we can let him have more.
