FORM ORGANIZATION AND
PLEDGE THEMSELVES TO CON-
SERVE THE HARVEST.
WILL NOT WASTE GRAIN
BY CARELESS THRESHlNG
Merritt Greene, Jr., Chosen As Head
Of County Organization, Which Is
Formed at Meeting Held Under
Food Administrations Direction
Thursday Afternoon.

On the eve Of the small grain harvest
owners Of threshing machines in the
county, at meeting held at the Mar
shalltown Club Thursday afternoon.
pledged themselves to cooperate in
the food conservation movement by
saving grain while threshing. They
organized for that purpose, elected Of
ticers and a board of directors whose
duty it will be to see that small grain,
and especially wheat, is not wasted by
careless threshing or improper hand
ling Of the grain.
The meeting. which was called by
L. c. Abbott, county food administra-
tor, as part Of the campaign in the
state conducted from the office of the
state food administrator, was attended
by about 100 farmers who own thresh-
ing machines.
Men to Eliminate Waste.
It is recognized by all who are fami
liar with threshing operations that Of
ten large percentage Of grain is
wasted by improper or careless thresh-
ing. It is to conserve this grain, and
especially wheat, that the food admin
istrator has launched this campaign for
saving grain.
w. E. Powell, representing the state
food administrator, and L. c. Abbott,
explained the purpose of the meeting
and the movement. The slogan Is not
to waste bushel Of wheat by careless
threshing There are many ways. care
full threshermen explain. how this
waste results. It may come from the
separator being operated either too
SLOWLY or too fast. It results when
bundles Of grain are fed into the ma
chine butt first instead Of head first.
and when the machine is choked by
feeding too, many bundles at one time.
The grain deteriorates when it Is not
threshed at the proper time. Some of
it is wasted by allowing horses hauling
grain to feed from loads, or by bundles
dropping from loads along the roadway
and not stopping to pick them up. All
these careless and wasteful practices
were condemned by Mr.. Powell.
Threshers Must Report.
The directors Of the threshermen's
organization that was formed, there
being one director in each township, are
to constitute committee Of threshine
inspectors who are to cooperate and
report to a threshing committee. that is
to be appointed by the president of the

the splinter penetrating the brain.
Greenwood places Clicks death as
June 2, while the war department re-
ported him killed on June 3.
Written from base hospital No. 10
Greenwood writes as follows:
"As am not positive that you have
been notified of the death Of your
nephew, Frank l.. Click, I am taking

Frank was my very best pal, be-
ing the company clerk when he frs:
came into the office Of our company,
and I can assure You I was certainly
wild man when the dirty boche got
him. 1t happened the afternoon OF
June 2. We had been in big barn In
an old chateau all day and in the
afternoon the Germans must have got
wise to it. They began Smelling and
dropped one in the barn. We were
ordered to leave the barn and scat
ter out in a small woods nearby.
Frank stayed behind to see that every
one got out safely, and was one of the
last men to leave. He was struck by
a piece Of shrapnel OH his way. l
was with him all the time and he
seemed to be only slightly injured in
the foot. He sat down and I dressed
his heel for him. He said his heel hurt
a little, but only laughed at It. He laid
down and went after drink OF
water for him. Upon returning he
had passed beyond. Investigation
showed that tiny piece Of steel no
larger than pin head apparently had
pierced his brain just behind the ear.
Death came to him mercifully and
painlessly.
"His death was a great blow to us
all, as he was one Of the best liked
and respected men in the company.
sometimes think he was lucky. I got

smashed up only little way below

that man could suffer so, but 1t is
worth it if they save the leg. The

receive very good care.

out in a sling and have to lie fiat

but the marines sure gave the boche

ance, and would advise you to

PLAN GARDEN EARLY
Avoid Wastes-Give Special Atten-
ton to Soil Preparation OF Seed
Bed, And Time of Planting.

The number of home gardens III
cities and small towns has increased
enormously in the past year, and
many in existence have been enlarg-
ed. The L. S. Department of Agri-
culture estimates that the value of
these gardens in 1917, exceed $780,
coo, 900 Against this it has been
estimated that as much as $500, 900
was wasted in seeds through poor
judgment. Two hundred thousand
of this can be attributed to planting
too thickly, $150,000 to improper
preparation of soil, and $4,000 to
lack of thought as to the time it
takes vegetables to mature.
1t is important that each of these
thoughts be given consideration, es-
pecially in the light of the prevail
ing high prices of all commodities
directly or indirectly entering the
cost of living. Garden soils should
be sweetened with lime just as the
farmer must use lime on soils. Prac-
tically all vegetables thrive better in
alkaline soils, especially the root
crops. If an application of 1000
pounds of hydrated lime to the acre
is to be made, a problem exists to
ledIu uON lluCl W DuS lOI al SIldIl
garden. Such an application is equal
to one pound for every 49, square
feet, or approximately three-eights
of an ounce to each square foot.
Hence a garden ten PAGES one way
and twenty PAGES the other would
contain 1900 square feet and require
three-eightS of an ounce for each
square foot, or about As pounds to
cover it at that rate. If the appli-
cation is to be increased to 1900
pounds TO the acre. One-half as much
more must be purchased, or about 20
pounds.
Lime may be secured from any
seed or implement dealer. 1t should
be mixed with the surface soil in the
spring after blowing. 1t is carried
down into the soil by rain water and
the general movement of soil mois-
ture. This, however, is not so great
in a garden and the loss should not
prevent using lime in Fall or Winter
when the ground is frozen, when it
is far more convenient. 1t will in
sure better yields, and in the case
of many vegetables secure a more
rapid and succulent growth.
1t is not probable that the food
supply will be any greater in the
coming year than it is at present.
