MANY SIIIPYARDS

Mosquito work will probably play as
important Il part in shipbuilding this
summer, the country over. as 1t did in
the building of the Panama Canal for
many OF our new shipyards are situ
ated in mosquito-infested spots. places
which nave been neglected thus far be-
cause there was no especial need for
cleaning them up. But mosquitoes and
shipbuildinG cannot go together So.
In several dozen localities OF this sort

with the Shipping Board.
one OF the most notable projects in
that line is the work at the big Hog
Island yard building fabricated steel
ships. where sa50,000 is being spent in
permanent ditching which will rid that
locality OF mosquitoes for all time. The
state OF Pennsylvania has contributed
$4,000, the city OF Philadelphia si5.o00

appropriated money. recognizing that

This Is one Of the most encouraging
phases Of Shipping Board health work

officials and communities when the
need for better sanitation is pointed
out Again and again the Shipping
Boards experts have made surveys,

trained health investigators they have
put their fingers on the unsantary
conditions responsible for disease and
discomfort in a shipyard, made these
conditions plan through explanations
and secured teamwork from the COM

we are at war has 1uickened public
opinion everywhere. There is no need
OF telling people more than once

INCREASED FLocks ON FARM
Ways Outlined Of Fastening Develop

Of Wool and Meat

Prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture.)
Though much is yet to be done to i'm
prove the carrying capacity of the
western range lands and to furnish IA
cilities for increasing the production
from those areas that should always
be used for grazing, and though the
possibilities of sheep raising on cut
over timber lands are very great. neith-
er OF these advances can be made to
contribute SO extensively and so quick
ly to market supplies as an increase
Of flocks on the farms of all parts of
the country. Only one-tenth Of all
holdings now classed as farms main
tain sheep. The establishment of flocks
on as many as possible of the other
farms that are suitable for sheep offers
the greatest opportunity for quick re-
suits
This Is not wholly a war matter.
When peace comes it will still be nee
essary for farmers to accord greater
Importance to live stock. The require
ments Of the country and the most eco
nomical use of farm crops and farm
labor call for a much more general
keeping Of farm f1ocks of sheep, en-
tirely aside from the war situation.
The magnitude of such an undertake
ing argues against large results In
short time, but II the true facts and
prospects can be adequately realized
by farmers, within space Of two
years 1t can be expected that the sup
ply Of both wool and meat will be in
creased materially.
An obstacle to any increase in the
number and size of farm fiocks is found
In the prevalent idea that wool and
meat prices, after the war. will recede
quickly to low levels and cause a loss
to those who have invested In higher
priced stock for breeding purposes.
The statistics Of the world supplies
and requirements, however, and the
trend Of prices prior to the war indi-
cate that we already had entered a
new era with regard to the live stock
industry. While 1t is not possible to
give a guarantee as to future values.

at war undoubtedly will deplete stocks
rapidly, and this will tend to influence
the market for some time to come.
The belief that sheep do not have a
place upon high-priced. highly produc-.
t1ve land also Is inapplicable at pres
ent. 1t Is true that the development
Of the sheep industry on the rougher,
cheaper. or drier types Of land has
prevented and in some cases destroyed
the business of sheep raising upon
farms Of high productive capacity.
Conditions now are changed. The
sheep today provides a profitable
source Of meat no less than an income
from the sale Of wool.
The large use of forage and pastur-
age and the small use Of grain favor
the keeping Of a flock on the farm.
Sheep are most profitable and most
healthy when kept upon pasture lands
or used for grazing of such forage
crops as cereal mixtures, rape. cow
peas, etc. Where large grass pastures
are available the forage crops may not
