January 20 will be enrolment week

LARGER CROP NECESSARY

Grow more than ever, is the advice
the Rochester Democrat and Chroni-
Gle gives the farmers of the state OF
New York. II says: In making
PREPARATION for the next years farm
ing operations, too much emphasis
cannot be placed upon the impera-
tive necessity for increasing largely
the agricultural crops Of the
country. Large as was the 1918
crop of wheat and corn, 1t
must be greatly increased in
the coming productive season.
Even with the worlds peace re-
stored, immense quantities OF
foodstufls must be produced TO
feed the great Allied and American
armies. Conservative official esti-
mates indicate that under the most
favorable circumstances from one TO
two years will be required for the
repatriation Of these soldiers. Ow-
ing 10 systematic destruction OF
farm lands and machinery in France,
Belgium and other countries within
the active war zone, little can be
expected there in the way Of food
production. In the meantime, Amer
lea must contribute largely TO the
feeding Of these sorely oppressed
peoples. The appeal will come
home strongly 10 the sturdy and
resoureeful American agriculturist.
But 1t is large order. Even
with greatly enlarged production
the efforts of the farmers and stock
growers must be supplemented by
the most strict economy and avoid
ance of waist by consumers at home.

MOUNTAIN AGRICULTURE

Investigator

Kentucky is preparing for very
active campaign this coming year
for the United states Boys Working
Reserve. Last year several hundred
boys between i6 and II years Of
age worked on the farms af Ken
lucky in a patriotic endeavor to
help feed the army Of Uncle Sam.
This year, although the Armistic
has been signed, there is greater
need than ever for the boys work.
Herbert Hoover, who is now abroad,
cables TO Washington that unless
the people of the United States
come TO- the rescue on the farms and
work as they have never worked be-
fore, famine will stalk through the
devasted parts Of Europe with re-
suits as horrible as war. Mr.. HoOv-
er says the enormous total OF
2O.O0O.O0O tons of food must leave
America next year if the men and
women and the helpless little child
rem of Europe are to be fed.
Under the direction of the U. 5.
Department of Labor, the U. ;.
Boys Working Reserve of the nation
will carry out a far more intensive
program than last year. As will be
recalled, the State Y. NJ. c.. A. OF
kentucky managed the reserve last
wear although, owing to clrcum-
stances, the start was late. This
year the work has already commence
ed. The Federal Government, the
kentucky state Council of Defense

Associate State Secretary of the Y.
NJ. C. A., will be Associate State Fed
eral Director, and George L.
stephens will be the Executive Fed
eral State Director. The hearquart-
ers will be at room 3i5 Association
Building, Louisville. Mr.. stephens
was executive secretary in charge
of publicity of the recent United
War Work Campaign in Kentucky,
and has had an experience of many
years in agricultural and publicity
work.
Special efforts are made to bring
the subject of food planting before
the people, and especially before
the boys who will be urged to en-
list in the Working Reserve. The
boys of Kentucky have an oppor-
tunity such as was never before
presented. A series of farm craft

logs be. as far as possible. converted
only into airplane propeller lumber
and gunstock blanks. Effective i'm

in their opinion entirely proper.
