The following communication has
been sent out to all county agents
by the Unied States Bureau Of Mar
kets and should be noted carefully by
all threshing machine owners planning
to operate machines during the COM
ing season. "Under the authority of
section 2 of an act of congress (pub-
lie number 40, IS congress) approved
by the president, the secretary of
agriculture has authorized and in
structed the Chief Of the Bureau of
Markets to obtain monthly reports
from threshers showing the amount
of wheat threshed by them and to
obtain reports from other cereals at
the close of the season. The plans
for conducting this work have been de-
termined upon after conferences with
representatives of the Bureau of
Crop Estimates and Of the United
States Food Administrator and the
Federal Trade Commission.
According to these plans each
thresher is to be supplied with a re-
cord book for keeping account of the
kinds and amounts of grain threshed
for each farmer, the acreage devoted
to each kind Of grain, and the charge
for threshing. This record book is
prepared for the thresher's own con-
venience in keeping his accounts and
to enable him more readily to furnish
monthly reports, blanks for which are
also supplied. These record books
and monthly report blanks are being
sent out to all county agricultural
agents and each county agent will be
expected to distribute them among the
threshers of his county.
It is important that the returns
should include all wheat threshed in
each county. Returns must therefore
be obained not only from those who
engage in threshing for hire but also
from farmers who do their own
threshing.
AS stated above, for the present,
the monthly reports will be expected
for wheat only, reports for other GER
sale will be expected at the close of the
agents dneach county agent will be
season. Each county agent will be
expected to assemble the reports on
wheat for his county, to summarize
the returns, and to telegraph the
county's totals for the month to the
Bureau of Markets at Washington, D.
G. not later than the fifth day Of the
month following. The first report
should be made not later than July 4
except in counties where no threshing
whatever is done in June. The county
agent will also be permitted to release
the information so obtained for pub
LEGATION by the local press. The orig
inal schedules, together with the coun-
ty agents. summary statement, should
then be forwarded to the Bureau Of
Markets for general tabulation.

primarily for the convenience of thu

REHABILITATION OF SOLDIERS.


The United States Government is
not going to be content with merely
reeducating and rehabilitating its
soldiers who have been disabled by
wounds and fitting them for useful
and gainful occupations; it is not
going to leave them to shift for them
selves, but will exert an active con-
tinuing interest in their welfare. This
does not mean that the Government is
to coddl ethm or treat them as weak
lings, but it is going to take an active
interest in securing them work, and in
other ways endeavor to make up to
them in opportunities and advantages
they lost by reason Of wounds received
in fighting their country's battles.
Every Liberty Loan Bond and every
War Savings Stamp purchased aids in
this work.
