Save The Hens.

Every laying hen sold from the
farms before the first of May means
a loss Of about 80 eggs to the food
supply of the Nation. These eggs
are valuable food. manufactured
largely from insects, weeds, and
grass. garbage and waste The eggs,
therefore, are almost wholly a net
gain in human food. Moreover,
the hen is just as good meat after
she has laid these eggs as b sfore.
Save the hens is the message
that the United States Department
of Agriculture is sending broadcast
through press notices and posters
land through its county agents
especially in the southern poultry
raising sections.

Advertising Aids Farm Business

Few farmers have taken advant-
age of the opportunities afforded
by advertising. From the very
nature of their business, advertiser
is probably not so important as it
is to merchants or other business
men. However, under certain cir
cumstances advertising is just as
profitable to farmers as to mer-
chants. OF course il would not be
profitable to advertise corn. hay,
wheat, and various other products
of that nature Immediately after
harvest or when other farmers had
vast supplies on hand. But it
would pay to advertise seed corn,
seed wheat, purebred livestock, gar
Deb crops, and various other farm
products in which a farmer might
care to specialize.
Conditions at present have made
opportunity for advertising brood
sows and gifts. In many cases,
owing to the shortage of breeding
animals, it would not be necessary
to advertise. However. in cases
where a local market could not be
found for sows. advertising in the
local paper would bring a buyer
who would pay more for the ami
mails than the farmer could obtain
for them at the stock yards.
An instance where advertising
would have saved money was
brought out during a farmers meet
ing conducted by the University of
Missouri College of Agriculture in
Oregon county last spring 1t was
learned that one farmer had been
hauling corn twenty miles TO mar
ket and that another farmer three
or four miles away had been buy
ing corn at the same market and
hauling it home In this case an
advertisement by either one of the
farmers would have saved both of
them the expense of a forty mile
trip with each load of corn. 10 an.
other instance a farmer who had
calves to pasture spent four days
in riding over his county hunting
for pasture. At the end of his
search he found on the farm of one
of his near neighbors. In this case
an advertisement would have saved
considerable time for him.

Want More Members.

Resolutions requesting the govern
ors of the five states in the South
western Division of the American Red
Cross to make official proclamations,
If they have not already done so, rec
ognizing the Junior Red Cross as an
important element in the work of the
schools of these states and calling spe
cial attention to the Junior Red Cross
drive from Feb. IA to 20 were adopted
by the advisory committee of the Jun
ior Red Cross at conference in St.
Louis recently.
The committee also urged the vari-
Gus boards of education, state, county
and city,Jin this division, to recognize
the Junior Red Cross as the one Of
fetal organization for war relief &C
tivities in schools, and asked the Unit
ed States Bureau of. Education,
through its department work for COM
munity centers, to give all possible
help to work of the Junior Red Cross.
1t was requested that the Depart
ment of Superintendent of the Ma
tional Education Association in its
meeting in Atlanta recognize the work
of the Junior Red Cross.
Slogan of the Campaign.
Every school a Red Cross auxiliary
and center for national service" is the
slogan of the intensive drive for the
enrolment of all public, private and
parochial schools as Red Cross school
auxiliaries. George w. Simmons, man
ager of the Southwestern Division,
who has gone to France for Red Cross
information, said since the South
western Division passed all other d.
visions in the country during the
Christmas membership drive the jun
iors must "go over the top" in the
same splendid way The goal is for
22,0O0,000 junior members in the Unit
ed States, which, with the present Red
Cross membership of 22,000,0O0, will
make the total 100000.
Mrs E. r. Kroeger, director of jun
ior membership in the Southwestern
Division, says each school will be en-
rolled as a unit, all Of its pupils be-
coming junior members of the Red
Cross, the school unit assuming the
obligation to raise a sum equal to %
| cents for each member. This fund re-
mains in the school treasury to be ad'
ministered by the pupils themselves
in the purchase of raw materials with
which Co work or otherwise, as they,
with the advice of instructors. may

What Children Can Do.

which the junior membership can nc

scholastic activities" says Mrs. K-oe
ger 1T is not the intention to en-
croach in any way upon the pupils

Slaughter of the Birds.

The government contemplates an
immediate assault upon the insect
pests that devour the crops of the
country. estimating that with vigor-
GUS action at least S per cent of the
losses inflicted upon American
crops by them could be prevented,
probably much more. 1t has been
estimated that the monetary value
of the crops destroyed by insects
in this country amounts annually
to at least S520000,000.-an esti-
mate not based upon guess, but on
keen observation extending over a
number of years. Such is. in part,
the tax that this country pays for
allowing some 100000 men and
boys. to 90 forth annually and vent
their rage for senseless slaughter
upon the birds engaged in the ben
fetal work of checking the ravages
of these insects-the birds which
are the natural allies of the farmer
says Florida Times Union. Five
per cent of this annual loss is $780,
OO0,000. The amount that may
possibly be saved is even more
than-au addition TO the wealth of
the country which might aid mate

left no chance for any doubt as to his
devotion to the prosecution of all war
activities. His eXcoriation of the men
who refuse to do their share in buy

us can play but 4 small part In win
ming this war and we do not want to
look into the eyes of our children ten
years hence and say that we failed in
our duty.
This is sacrifice that Is small but
can assure you no word sent to the
food controllers OF Europe will carry
such weight and encouragement as to
be able to say that every first class
hotel in the United States has for
their sake abolished the use OF wheat.
Entirely Dependent on America.
'Our wheat situation is today the
most serious in the food supply
of the whole allied world. We have
had a stock taking in the early days
of March and we find that our har-
vest was less than it was estimated.
There is also another and more bitter
difficulty in the delays of shipping. In
the growing scarcity of ships. that
has thrown larger burden upon the
American people in feeding the allies
than we had anticipated. We had all
expected that the Argentine supply
would be available in Europe before
this time. Those supplies will not ar
tity and then will he less than we
had expected. The consequence is that
supply of bread stuffs in Europe is
at it's lowest ebb. There is but one
source of supply and that is the
United States.
To-day our investigation shows that
NJ we are to ship to the allies the
amount that is necessary to carr!
over, even the minimum OF the bread
supply. to their people. we must cut
our own consumption by one-half.The
limit that we propose on allied ship
ment is simply the limit of our eX-
porting power. 1t may eventuate that
we must reduce the bread consump-
ton of the United States more than
one half. We intend to ship the bread
supply from here. willy nilly, but it is
not a simple problem Of taking bread
stuffs from the people"
