prepared by the United States Depart
ment of AgricultureD
As q matter of business foresight
and economy, as well as of patriotism,
farmers who increase their production
Of poultry and eggs this year should
plan to use considerable part Of the
increase on their own tables. Much
of the benefit Of increasing the supply
Of products capable of very rapid in
crease, but perishable and bulky. will
be lost If producers adopt the policy
case there would be no substitution
pm the farm of poultry products for
the cured and compact meats which 1t
is desired to reserve as far as possible
for military use and shipment to the
allies.
Many farm families could easily use
several times as much poultry as Is
now consumed on the average farm.
Analysis of the figures of the last CEN
sus shows very light consumption Of
poultry and eggs on the average farm.
For the whole country the average
is only 1875 dozen-2.6 dozen per
week; of poultry, 60 head-or one
bird every six days. The highest aver
age consumption of eggs in any state
is pip dOzen-four dozen q week.
The highest average consumption of
poultry in a state is 124.6 head-one
bird In 90 days. Such averages indi-
cate that farmers who use poultry and
eggs freely on their own tables use
from six to ten dozen eggs and four to
six head of poultry weekly. In view
of the extent to which large flocks can
be made self-sustaining during the
greater part of the year on most FARMS
this liberal scale of consumption Of
poultry products would seem practical
generally.
The consumption of eggs on farms
may be greatly increased and farmers
still receive the benefit of good prices
for fresh eggs In the season of scant
production and give consumers the
benefit of larger supply and more
moderate prices, If all farmers who
can do so will preserve as many eggs
when eggs are cheap as they can use
at home when eggs are dear. The av-
erage farm price of eggs in the United
States in April, May and June. 1917.
was 20 cents dozen in October, No
vember and December, 1871 cents. In
1915 the average difference in farm
prices in the periods compared was
1913 cents dozen. There is a period
Of from five to six months in every
year when the average price of fresh
eggs on the farm is about ten cents a
dozen more than the average price
during the season of heavy production.
Inasmuch as eggs can be preserved
In water glass, or In lime water. and
kept in perfect condition for from six
to nine months, and disable for year
or more. a farmer who preserves eggs
when they are cheap for his own use
can use eggs freely the year round
and still have eggs to sell all through
the season Of high prices.

U. S. War Industries Board
Restricts Clothing Styles
to Save Wool and Leather

Necessity for wartime conservation
of wool and leather will be further re-
Elected in civilian footwear and mems
clothing for next spring trade.
Restrictions upon manufacturers an
nounced by the war industries board
are expected to effect a substantial
saving of leather and cloth so neces-
sary for the nations ever increasing
fighting force. Both quantity and
styles will be affected
The height of women's shoes is to
be reduced to maximum of eight
inches from heel to top, with the same
maximum for overgaiters or "spats.'
All shoes, both leather and fabric,
will be restricted to black, white and
two clOors of tan. Patent leather will
be black only.
Shoe manufacturers may not. for the
next six months, introduce. purchase
or use any new style lasts.
Manufacturers are especially urged
to encourage the sale of low-cut and
lOw-effects in shoes; to reduce the
number of boot samples for women
and to cooperate with retailers and
wholesalers to restrict the return OF
merchandise.
Marked changes are prescribed for
mems clothing. Sack coats will be
shorter, with minimum of 30 inches
for 36 sizes and IN inches added fol-
'lOngs." Double-breasted overcoats
will be eliminated. and the length OF
topcoats will be minimum Of AZ
inches for SO sizes and two inches to
be added for "longs."
Only three outside pockets will be
allowed in sack coats and facings will
not exceed Az inches.
Side and back straps and flaps OF
| trousers are to be eliminated, and nc
reinforcement of trousers can be
made with wool cloth.
Not more than ten models Of sack
| suits are to be put out.
The maximum length of rain coats
| Is fixed at 4S inches, while the maxi
| mum width of collars will be 81
inches. All double coats with detach
able Innings for civilian use are to be
