Mobilizing Minnesota's
Millions Of Hens to
Help Conserve Food

Minnesota is one if the Northwest
Central states. This section, compris-
ing the seven states, Kansas, Mis-
sour, Nebraska, Iowa, North and
South Dakota and Minnesota, has been
called the "egg-basket" of the nation.
According to the census of 1910, these
states had on their farms thirty per
cent of the poultry of the entire
country, produced twenty-eight per
cent of the eggs, and twenty-five per
cent Of the market poultry.
In speeding up" meat production
by the Federal Food Administration,
liberal appropriations have been made
Tor poultry extension work, and the
members of the organization look with
great expectancy to this section of the
United States to equal and surpass the
production of former years. The in
creasing prices of farm grains, the
resulting high cost of poultry feeds,
and the liberal prices offered for live
and dressed poultry the past two
years, has resulted in marked de-
crease in the number of chickens per
farm throughout this section of the
west. 1t has been estimated as high
as thirty per cent, seriously affecting
the surplus to be put on the market
to supply the country's need.
The northern states of this section
have suffered a marked decrease in
the past two years, and at the pres
ent time the situation is almost alarm
ing. Following the census of 1910, the
farm focks of Minnesota increased
from ten to twenty-five per cent per
year until 1914. From that date there
has been constant decrease as re-
vealed by the annual shipments of
eggs and poultry from most country
towns in different parts of the state.
The surplus for 1917 was far below
the records of the previous year. 1t
is believed, however, that there are
about twelve million (12,000,000) hens
in Minnesota on January 1, 1918.
Statistics show that in the past, the
hens of Minnesota have surpassed the

hens of other states in average yearly
production. In the markets of the
east, Minnesota eggs are known as
Northern stock" of good size and
weight and of superior quality COM
manding the highest current prices.
This is due to good feed, cold climate
and rapid transit.
Now that Hoover Gard" hangs in
the kitchen of every loyal home in
Minnesota, urging the good housewife
to conserve meat, wheat, sugar and
fats she is instructed to use eggs and
poultry to furnish her own household
a properly balanced ration, thus con-
serving the "red meat" AS large a
surplus as possible of poultry food
must be furnished the nation in this
crisis, to fill the place of "war food
that mus the set to our associates, and
our own Sammy-boys at the front in
France.
The hens of Minnesota must be
modified, comfortably housed, prop
erly fed and carefully managed to in
crease production. Our patriotism
must be shown in increased poultry
production and CONSUMPTION. Sec.
Houston says, every man, woman
and child is involved, and nearly every
adult and most boys and girls can
be efficient factors" This is true of
poultry production, for women, boys
and girls of the farms can increase
and double the poultry output at our
country's CALM. E. Chapman,
State Poultry Specialist.

NURSES NOW
OR NEVER

every Red Cross Nurse saves 500
soldiers!"
That is why the Red Cross is max
ing such strenuous efforts to enroll
5000 more graduate nurses by June
1. For the entire year of 1918 25,-
900 nurses must be enrolled to assure
our expanding army and navy of ade-
quate care.
AS the nurses come forward to an
swer their country's call, other young
women who are educated and desirable
must enter nurses schools to keep the
ranks filled and provide service for the
people at home. Courses may be taken
at a number of places throughout the
country, and every Red Cross chapter
can give information to young women
who wish to study.
Making surgical dressings and hos
pital garments are important, but if
there are no nurses to apply them to
our wounded soldiers, they would be
useless. Consequently, graduate nurs-
es who have been holding back will
see the imperative need of enlisting
at once. The Red Cross considers it
one of the foremost tasks assigned to
it by our government to stimulate en-
istments among nurses.
With American boys being wounded
in large numbers in the great battle
in France, every American nurses's
heart will beat with patriotic fervor
and June l undoubtedly will see 5000
more enrolled under the Red Cross ban

OF May and November. Some wears
1t IS necessary to call special session
but this does not occur very often.
When they get together it is like one
big family, united together for the gen

IS done they generally get together in
groups, tell stories and talk politics.
but lately they talk a great deal a.
bout the war. They are hale fellows.
Well met and reflect the good citizen

to be pleasure for the business men
OF Grand Rapids to get them together
at the Elks club and talk over matters
OF general interest to the county,
they don't get together very often.
but when they do come. the business
men should make it a point to meet
them and get acquainted and give

AT OUR HOUSE.
Eyes Blue and Tousehead Learn About the Red Cross
BY JUDD MORTIMER LEWIS

We have talked it over at our house.
Talked it over as we have never talked
it over before. We did not want Eyes
O'Blue Ito know about it, nor did we
want 10 lay any part Of the worlds
heavy burden upon the heart of Tousle-
head. We have taught them that the
world is a good and a beautiful place,
but last night, gathered beneath the
light in the humble little parlOr at our
house, we talked it over between US.
Eyes O'Blue and Touslehead were told
that, while the world is good, 1t is not
all good; that there are men who have
started out to enslave the world and
who in the furtherance Of that ambi-
ton have done awful things.
Gradually as the tale was told they
drew nearer until we sat with our
arms about them. We told them Of
hands hacked from baby wrists, Of
death rained from the sky upon help
less little ones, of murder rising from
the seas green deeps to feed upon
helpless mothers and babies
And then we told them how these
splendid soldier boys we see every
day are going to the far front to fight
and, If need be, die to keep this hor-
ror from our land. We told them of
burns and wounds and suffering.
