VAST ARMY TO BE RELEASED

Washington, Nov. l2.-Demobiliza-
tion of men in the military and naval
service of the United States after their
return from France will be carried out
largely on a basis of the ability 81
trade and occupations to absorb them,
under plan being worked out by the
labor war and navy departments and
the war industries board. 1t was said
today that the plan will be submitted
to President Wilson soon.
The war industries board has sent
questionnaires to employers in all il
dustries asking needs of each for men
and the answers will show where, when,
and how rapidly jobs will be ready for
discharged soldiers and sailors and
what trades are most in need of them.
Supplementing this information will lie
that received from draft boards and
community labor boards which are to
cooperate in the work.
The war labor policies board and the
United States Employment service will
be combined to handle the labor depart
ment's end. The war department is
expected to establish new bureau to
convert the activities of Provost Mar
shall General Crowder s office to this
end. General Crowder was suggested by
some officials as the man best qualified
to deal with the task of preserving the
balance of power of the labor supply
without delaying demobilization oper-
ations.
With the conversion of industry from
war basis many workers also will be
released from emergency Jobs created
by the war, but this problem has been
taken into consideration by the officials
who are working out plans for gen
eral stabilizing of labor conditions when
the soldiers are returned to civil life.
In this connection, officials pointed
out today that with the ending of hos
tilities there would be great resump-
tlon of private construction and manu-
featuring, held up and restricted be.

of skilled laborers will be needed in all

been formally formulated. The only
orders 80 far issued curtailing war

More than 700 county agents and

months than the average yearly in

Organization Of new counties Is
rapid. especially in states of the CEN

en- assurance that there will be
county agent or county emergency

counties by February 1.
Maine. New Hampshire, Massachus-

Delaware already have an agent in
each county, while New York, Indiana
and Pennsylvania are almost complete
ly covered. Nearly half of the agri-
cultural counties In the Northern and
Western states are now being served
by local demonstration agent, and
the indications are that the country
can be completely covered before the
beginning Of another crop year.
One Of the most gratifying features
Of the organization campaign in the
Northern and Western states thus far
has been that most counties taking up
the work are arranging for 1t on per-
manent basis-many Of them making
plans for periods Of three years.
Must Have Thorough Training.
The qualification requirement Of
agents are somewhat different In the
various states. Graduation from an
agricultural college Is not In all cases
required. though training substantial
ly equivalent to four years course
at such college Is usually insisted up
on. A considerable amount of farm
experience Is universal requirement.
and 1t Is preferable that some of this
experience should be secured since
completing the college course. ~

ton of farm bureaus can be had by

ARRANGING RATION FOR cows
Three Things Should BE Borne In Mind
Protein, q Little Fat and to :
Supply Succuience.

The ration for the dry COW should
be formulated with three things in
mind. namely, to furnish sufficient
amount Of protein to. develop the fetus
properly and allow surplus for the
needs Of the body Of the COW; to sup
ply enough carbohydrates that the COW
may lay on little fat; and to supply
succulence. Some kind of green feed
Is very essential in the ration for the
COW at all times. 1t serves the pur-
pose Of maintaining the bowels in a
loose condition, which is necessary to
good digestion and assimilation of
food.

THE most important and perplex-

Nebraska at this time is that OF
Americanizing "a considerable number
of Our people of foreign birth. 1t is
of even greater Importance, it possi-
bic. that we insure the thorough
Americanizatlon of the children OF
such parentags.
"The problem is complex and a
dedicate one, due to the sensitiveness
of our peopIe of foreign birth, and
for the further reason that many OF
them have arrived at an age that
makes it difficult, if not impossible,
for them to adopt Our language and
our customs.
THE problem cannot be solved by
harsh, arbitrary or unreasonable
methods, and it is most desirable that
we have the harmonious and hearty
cooperation of those most affected.
1T is question worthy of the con-
