TO MEMBERS OF BOYS AGRICUL-
TURAL CLUB GROWING CROPS

For a club boy to be a winner Of a
county or state prize with his crop,
it is absolutely necessary that his
field he very accurately measured
OF course this also is necessary for
an accurate report on the crop and
in order to secure a Certificate of
Merit.
The land should be measured
either by committee from
your local club. your local club
leader, two disinterested per-
sons, or the county agent. Any
plot OF ground containing 43,560
square feet, by actual measurement
is an acre. The following land
measures may prove useful:
Have corner stakes driven deep
enough so they will remain until the
crop is harvested. Do not plant
closer than twenty inches from
your boundary line, as your crop
will be taking advantage OF land
which is not within your field. II
is we'll TO have your land measured
as soon as possible so that you will
not be delayed in your work.

NATION DEPENDS ON FARMER

The war has served TO exhibit To
the country at large, as the country
never quite realized before, its de-
pendence upon agriculture and the
manifold problems which beset our
primary industry. There is reason
to believe, therefore. that during
the coming year. agriculture will
have the active sympathy and CO.
operation of all citizens and classes
who are in position to render aid.
The farmers Of the United States
will not fail TO do all that they can
in this emergency and. with favor
able seasons. they will produce
enough to sustain the civil popu-
lation, to keep our army and navy
in fighting vigor. and TO supplement
the depleted resources of the allies.
Every facility that the Department
OF Agriculture can command to as
sist them will be freely placed at
their disposal.-Department Of Ag-

THE WORK OF THE FOOD
ADMINISTRATION
An Essay by one Of our Home
Science Seniors

On August 10. 1911. on his birth
day. Mr.. Herbert Hoover was ofllci-
ally and formally appointed as Food
Administrators Of the United States.
But before this appointment he was
originating new ideas. formulating
plans. and gathering together work
ers, which resulted in bringing in
TO existence the present nation wide
spirit of conservation. Fortunately.
Mr.. Hoover knew the hopelcssness Of
not "practicing what you preach
s0 first Of all in his own home was
practiced the true service Of saw
ing.
The purposes Of the Food Admin
istration. according to Mr.. Hoover's
words. are threefold: First. 10 so
guide and control the trade in the
fundamental food products as TO
eliminate unreasonable speculati0ns,
competion. and extortion. and to
stabilize prices in the most essen
tial products. Second. To guard
our exports So that we may retain
sufficient supplies for our own peo-
pie to stand against the worlds
shortage. Third. that we may en-
courage in every manner within
our power the saving Of food IN
order that We may increase exports
to our Allies" In order 10 carry
out the hopes and purposes Of MT.
Hoover, a set Of rules were made by
the Administration and approved by
the President. The following are
of most Importance 10 us: First,
when purchasing flour, buy at the
same time an equal weight OF some
cereal (rice. oatmeal. cornmeal.
irish and sweet potato flour, or
buckwheatl. Second. retailers are
to sell wheat -four only with an
equal weight Of these other cereals
However. the policy of the Food Ad-
ministration is not 10 rudely en-
force these rules-it is appealing TO
the patriotism Of every true Amer
ican 10 conform willingly and ca
gerly with these plans. Then after
the purchasing Of the food mater
ials see that strictest conservation
is practiced. both in the prepara-
tion and consumption.
How can this be Accomplishment
Only thru sincere and earnest dat
ly cooperation in the 2O,OOO'O0
kitchens. and at the 20.00O,OoO dim
ner tables in the United States. The
proof Of the statement, Food VIII

trollers of consumption - house
wives. hotel and cafteria managers,
and they need advice as to the ba-
sis to adopt. Here is where the
Food Administration aids greatly.

TO cooperate in the distribution as
well as in the production of food

tein and mineral matter. such as
tankage. skim-milk. soy bean meal
and wheat middlings. OF course
these substances containing a large
percentage Of protein are fed mixed
with corn. mainly TO form what is
called a balanced ration" or one
which contains the proper pro-
portions Of protein. carbohydrates
fa' and mineral matter.
Never attempt 10 feed a young pig
on corn alone: corn will produce
fat and energy. but not bone and
muscle. Growing a pig is like build
ing barn. You must build the
frame work first. After the frame
of the hog is produced he should
then be fattened.
These rations are given as sug-
gestions. You should talk over the
matter of feeding your pig with the
county agent before you decide def
initely what TO use.
You will find place in your rec
ord book to keep a record of the
weight of your pig and the kind and
amount Of feed used. Don't forget To
keep this record up-to-date.
We must be very careful and
economical this year in feeding pigs.
Our country needs pork badly. but
we must waste no feed in producing
it. I am counting on you TO do your
very best.
Very truly yours,

HOW TO WIN THE WAR

With our great resources Of mer
and wealth, too many Of us have de-
cided that il is not necessary Il
exert any energy in defeating the
Kaiser. Some have been resting
easy with the hopes Of an early
peace. Others have not been awak-
ened to the seriousness Of this con-
flict. Others have been quieted
thru German propaganda. Some
have rested on their oars with the
excuse that they are too old to 90
to war. All Of these excuses are
worthless. This is a case wherein
every man. woman and child had
better exert every possible energy
TO the assistance of our Government
in preference to being taxed to the
limit by the Kaiser.
About the first thing that enters
a patriotic mans head is where can
he work best. Too many of us have
wanted to get into some big PROPOSE
tion where we could do something
out of the ordinary. The writer has
canvassed this field very closely and
after careful consideration decided
that every man not able to go into
the army could. perhaps. work bet
ter in his own community with his
own acquaintances in a field where
he was familiar than to attempt
some proposition with which he
might not be familiar.
There is, perhaps. no other class
of men in the community that have
the same opportunity in their own
section as that of livestock breed
ers. These men are rated as leaders
in their districts. Their word
should have weight. Let every man
canvass his territory and do all he
can do all the time. Let there be
no jealousy. IL matters not who
may assume leadership in
district. Let the other man take the
responsibility for his own mistakes
dllu ldllulfo, Dub http WI hihr'
suits may not be noticeable, but the
effort and spirit should remain true
TO this Government above all other
things at this time. Carefully
watch for German propaganda,
which is being scattered broadcast
thru this country by every possible
means that the Kaiser and his fol-
lowers can spread. Remember that
those criminals have decided to
control the world. Those individu-
ais who are not loyal to this cause,
which have been protected and
fostered with our great American
institutions should be watched care
fully, not only at this time but so
long as they shall live. The Ger
man propaganda has been developed
in a very scientific manner. Let no
man give an inch but stand square
ly and whOle-souled for this Gov
ernment until this war is won.

TAKES HIGHER RATES
For I|AATER-URBAN CARS

ATLANTA, Ca, May 6-The bene-
fits of electric power and interurban
trolley car service will not be extend
ed to rural communities in north Geor-
gia and other sections of the state
unless the public utility companies
supplying this service are granted
increased rates by the railroad COM
mission of Georgia. The local street
railway and power company, which
has a petition for increased rates now
pending before the railroad commits
sion, has very frankly stated that its
present earnings will not enable it to
carry out plans for water develop
ment and extension of service to rural
communities, and has submitted state
nents of its earnings under present
rates which show that its finances are
not in condition to permit expansion.
On account of the fact that ma
jority of its customers, as with other
petitioning public utilities, are located
in Atlanta and other cities, it is ex-
pected that there will be some oppo-
sition from this source, but on the 9TH
er hand the people residing in rural
communities are vitality interested in
the extension of electric service and
interurban trolley car facilities to their
doors, and they realize that they can
not secure these facilities unless ex-
listing rates are raised.
The present rates for electric pow
err and light, for street car fares and
for gas, were fixed several years ago
when pre-war prices prevailed in all
departments, and when the scale Of
wages paid to employees was very
much lower than it is at present
Hence if the rates were reasonable
then. and were allowed to stand with
out complaint from the public, it
necessarily follows that they are too
low under the present enormously
increased prices paid for all materials
and equipment, and the present very
heavily increased scale of wages paid
to employees in all departments.

Their allowances would be made to Ger
man prisoners until the German gov
eminent agreed to reciprocate.
The German proposal is understood
to have been that article II of the
1907 Hague convention be enforced.
This would have secured for German
captives the same allowance made to
American soldiers of the same rank
which are higher than the pay receiv-
ed by German soldiers. The Uuited
States declined to accept this basis
and proposed that schedule be drawn
up to govern payments to prisoners in
both countries.
Under the German proposal an Am
elican prisoner in Germany would re-
ceive the German army pay and Ger
man prisoner here the American army
pay The American suggestion if for
a schedule of identical pay. No reply
has been received by the state depar-
ment to that suggestion. Pending the
receipt Of Germany's definite accept

Withholding all payments, will remain
