Make the Hens Help Win the Fight

Are the hens doing their bit these
cold days? One of the quickest and
cheapest ways of adding to our meat
supply is to increase poulty and egg
production. In an effort to stimu-
late Mississippi farmers and poultry
keepers to do their part toward
doubling our poultry supply during
this year. E. p. Clayton. head of the
poultry work of the A. and M. Col
lege. is recommending that increas-
ed poultry production for Mississippi
be included as a vital part of the
general food production campaign.
The ten following rules if Observ-
ed will aid in increasing our pro-
duction:
1. Keep more pure bred hens of a
good laying strain,
2. Keep one breed, the best you
can get.
3. Select your breeding eggs from
the best layers. the latest hens to
mott in the fall and winter.
4. Select large uniform eggs of
even shape and color.
5. Hatch pullets in February,
March and April.
g. Keep plenty green feed where
the hens can Craze it regularly.
Z. Provide good feed and housing
and provide water in clean vessels
8. Feed a variety of grains. such
as wheat, corn. oats and sunfiower
seed.
9. Feed a dry mash of cornmeal.
cotton seed meal. wheat bran and
shorts or ground oats.
10. Keep a good scratch Of straw
and throw all grain feed in it to in
duce exercisc.-E. X. Lloyd. Direc-

Frank Mcintyre, the plumpes'

Mr.. Houston began his address
by paying tribute to the people of
this city and county. He spoke Of
their fine attributes and patriotism
and referred to the part played in
all the wars of the past by her citi-
zens, conspicuous on the field Of
battle. in the forum and in all the
professions. He went into the war
and stressed the magnitude of the
issue presented to the American peo-
pie, referring to the various incidents
of the struggle az revealing the pur-
pose OF Germany. His tribute to
the Red Cross and the work it is
doing in relieving the suffering and
distress of stricken humanity was
especially beautiful and his appeal
for members to join in this great
humanitarian work was especially
impressive and effective. His ref
erence to Turkey brought forth from
him an earnest plea for a declara-
ton OF war against that country and
he expressed the hope that for all
time to come the Holy Land would
be under Christian domination. He

The Staude Mak.a.TractOr
Demonstration.

More than 80 people interested
In the problem of producing more
food, made imperative by the war,
attended the demonstration of the
Staude Mak-a- Tractor two miles
north of this city, Tuesday. The
needs OF the country to defend itself
against the entertainments of the
imperial German empire has drained
the farms of labor at time when
more food must be produced. The
problem of producing this food
with less labor has brought us to
the realization of using tractor power
and labor saving machines. We are
searching for tractor power and
machines that will meet the scarcity
OF labor conditions and at the same
time increase the production of the
yields of the fields. To the farmer
OF .OOO or more acres the Ques-
ton has found solution in the en-
plOyment OF expensive tractor en-
gines. To the small farmer of 100
up to 300 acres such tractors are
beyond his reach and he could not
Use them if he could afford the price
Necessarily these farmers must have
light tractor power at small cost
To this class of farmers the demon
stration held last Tuesday mostly
appealed. The demonstration was
held to exploit the merits of the
Staude Mak-a-Tractor, an attach
ment which converts the Ford au-
tomObile into traction engine with
power to do continuously what four
big, strong, sturdy horses can do
In fifteen minutes an old 1913 model
Ford car was converted into trac-
tor and hitched to II inch two
bottom Oliver power lift engine pillow
and put to work in a heavy Bermu-
da turf sod that had not been plow-
ed in more than decade of years.
The attachment pulled this pillow
from ; to 10 inches deep as desired
through the tough sod continuously
p1o1ine at the rate 81 nearly an acre
per hour consuming approximately
one gallon Of gasoline per acre.
The demonstration was confined
To pulling the II inch two bottom
gang plows alone, and the tractor
and pillow both operated perfectly.
The,power of the attachment and
the efficiency of the pillow are best
measured by the fact of the plow's
cutting an even swath of IS inches
at through not being DETECTED
from uniform depth or width by
contact with stumps decayed, or
green that measured up to inches
in diameter. cutting them off smooth
and turning them out with the sod.
The farmer who desires to multi
ply the man power of his farm by
engine power and machine work.
should not fail to see this type of
tractor and pillow at work. He can
see it at work almost any day farm
work can be done, on the Lake
place two miles north Of Aberdeen,

ITALIANS WELCOME RED

Robert Perkins Given Reception in

ROME. January 16.-The members of
the Italian government, senators, depu-
ties and representatives of the munich
pality and political. commercial and
artistic associations gathered at the
capitol yesterday to welcome Robert P.
Perkins, head of the permanent Red
Cross commission to Italy, and to give
an imposing demonstration in favor of
the United States.
Prince Colonna, the mayor of Rome,
greeted Col. Perkins and the other
members of the mission and expressed
of the American Red Cross. Senator
Guglielmo Marconi, recently appointed
head of the Italian mission to America,
said:
Il have lived long in your great and
beautiful country and have learned to
love and appreciate the great qualities
of the American people. their idealism
and innate love of liberty and fair play
1t is time to destroy the fable that
Americans are too highly commercial
ICED to allow themselves to be ewayed
by pure ideals.
I'VE could repay the help given us
In money in kind, but the noble i'm
pulse which has driven thousands OF
the best American men and hundreds
Of noble American women to abandon
lucrative positions in answer to the
call of our common humanity, that we
cannot repay"
Finance Minister Nitti and Thomas
Nelson Page, the American ambassador,
also addressed the gathering.

Age of Unfinished.

This is an age of incomplet eness-

law of God is begun-and given up.
People start in business-and fail
They, attempt to learn trade-and
don't do it thoroughly.
"A hound once started after a stag
and after running for a while it saw
a fox and turned after it. A little

SO 1t is with so many who enter the
Christian life. They started to hunt

People say to me: Why is it so great
a sin if man. finding himself failing
in the Christian life, quits it? He can

CORN SCARCE |NEAST
R0TT|NG IN WEST
Director General McAdoo Ask.
ed to Take Action to Speed
Transportation.

While there is scarcity of corn in
the east. millions of bushels are rotting
in the west, according to information
laid before Director General McAdoo
by Representative Mccormick of Illi-
nois He urged immediate steps to
provide transportation facilities. In
this request Food Administrator
Hoover Joined.
Mr.. Mccormick asked a railroad ex-
ecutive experienced in the Transports
tion of grains be appointed to devote
all his time to getting the corn in mo-
tlon. Mr.. McAdoo took the request
under advisement. promising to do
whatever was possible.
The food administration insists corn
must be moved in the next few weeks
to prevent serious shortages in many
country elevators are filled and millions
of bushels rotting in fields because
growers have no place to store it.
Hail to Return Cars.
In a letter TO Mr.. Mccormick. Mr..
Hoover said failure of the eastern
roads to return grain cars TO the west
ern roads. there had been less than so
per cent normal movement in corn up
to January ] and less than 90 per cent
normal movement in oats.
The result, he said, has been that do
nestle consumers have not had sufficlent
supplies. and prices are mounting with
out benefit to the farmers. AS corn Is
an important cattle feed. the failure
to move the crop. Mr.. Hoover declared
is resulting in increased prices of milk
and other dairy products and also meat
Moved in Box Cars.
|. at does not appear to me-" said Mr..
Hoovers letter, that the movement of
this most critical and essential food
stuff necessarily conf1ic<s with the
movement of coal. Grain moves in box
cars and coal In open top cars. I am
informed that a large number of box
cars are daily loaded with pianos, fur
niture, graphophones, beer, whisky, etc,
which are not so essential at the mo-
ment as grains. 1t is estimated that the
eastern roads have anywhere from 2O,-
900 to 10000 box cars belonging to the
grain roads and unless these can be re-
turned and put into their proper en-
ployment there is little solution of the
problem"
