THIRTY-SIX BUSHELS POTA-
TOES ON ONE-FOURTH ACRE

The children had all married and
moved away so that Dr., A. L. Bar
nard and his wife, DR.. Cara l. Bar
narG, were the only ones left in the
family. But when the call came for
conservation they decided to culti-
vate the half acre in the back yard Of
the home at Steelville, Mo. Half of
this plot was planted to potatoes and
the other half in different vegetables.
The potato yield was SO bushels.
From the other half Of the plot they
canned six quarts pieplant, IL quarts
beans, "a quarts tomatoes, "a quarts
cabbage, 6 pints sweet peppers, IL
pints catsup, 6 pints chilli sauce, IL
quarts pickles, Is quarts krauL IN
addition they canEed IL pints straw
berries, six quarts dewberries, six
quarts blackberries, six quarts REQ
plums, IL quarts peaches, IL quarts
pears, "a quarts grapes, 12 pints
damson plums. The Barnsrds gave
cabbage to needy families.
They have their own chickens and
eggs. They are using the fish, rab-
bits, oysters, and other meat substi-
tutes so that they do not average
more than one meat day a week. They
are saving -four by using cernmea!
rye, graham -four, and brown bread.

COAL SHORTAGE SHOWS
NEED OF WATER POWER

The present coal shortage is cold
fact. It is being impressed upon ev-
cry citizen of Missouri directly in the
lack of fuel for heating homes. Indi-
rectly we are affected by the short
age of coal for use in the generation
OF power in public utility and in in
dEstrial plants. Factories are closed,
gas production falls off, street cars
are delayed or abandoned altogether,
light and power plants in the cities
are closed, and business generally is
disorganized.
In this emergency, Dean E. ]. Nc
Caustland of the University of Mis-
souri, directs attention to the possi-
bilities Of deriving energy from our
flowing streams. at is estimated
that the Keokuk power plant saves to
the city Of st. Louis alone more than
1900 tons Of coal each day." says
Dean McCaustland, mo one in Mis-
souri, can closely estimate in horse
power the possibilities Of waterpower
development within her borders, but
it must approximate at least half q
million. Every horse power Of this
would save yearly at least fifteen tons
of coal or a grand total Of seven and
one-half million tons per year.
"Here is q field of conservation and
development that odght to be care.
fully investigated. While the present
fuel shortage is due to wartime con-
ditions, it nevertheless calls attention
sharply to the fact that any emer.
gency which interferes with the op.
Grafton of coal mines may be disas.
trously affected in the industrial life
of the State. Why submit to con-
tinuance of these conditions when 9
little enterprise will enable us to de.
velop the water powers at our door
and thus make use of what the CONT
mental Europeans call white coal !
Recently Kansas City's street cal
service was seriously interferred with
by coal shortage, while st. Louis
service was continuous, due to the fact
that it's power is derived from tht
Mississippi River. Such immunit!
may be extended to every town in the
State"

KEEP A PIG IN TOWN

The United States Department of
Agriculture is asking city ard village
authorities rot to enforce ordinance
prohibiting the keeping of hogs in the
city limits during the war. In every
city and town in Missouri are a num-
Der of retired farmers, mary of whom
are practical hog men, and who would
keep a few hogs at a profit were it
not for the prohibition ordinances.
They would welcome an opportunity
to keep a brood sow.
By using garbage and slop that is
now going to waste, these men could
produce thousands Of hogs which
would be of material assistance in
the present national need for more
pork. At the same time, they would
make a profit on waste material.
Farmers or breeders of purebred hogs
would be glad to furnish the expert
enced men with brood sows to pro-
duce the litters on shares. A hog
properly cared for is as sanitary as
any cat or dog.
Missouri will need to strain every
possible source to supply the 80 per
cent increase required in 1918. "This
call for more pork is as necessary as
more shells to the success Of our ar
mics and is next in value to men,
said c. G. Garner, swine specialist
for the Department, who is co-operat-
ing with the University of Missouri
College of Agriculture in the increas-
ed hog campaign.

THE SOLDIERS TAKING
GOVERNMENT INSURANCE

That the wise and benefcent law
providing Government insurance for
the military and naval forces of the
United States is fully appreciated by
the soldiers and sailors of the Ma
ton is being every day evidenced.
At Camp Wadsworth, Spartan
burg, S. c., during the month of No
vembcr nearly 10000 applications
were sent to the Bureau of War
Risk Insurance; II per cent Of these
was for the maximum amount OF
$4,000, % per cent for $4,000, and G
per cent was for lesser sums. In 16
companies every single man applied
for insurance; in 5 units, 8 of them
full companies, every man applied for
the maximum of $4,000.
A spirited campaign of education
has been organized and is being con-
Quoted to furnish full and thorough
information of the workings of the
law to those coming under the pro-
visions, and it is believed that the
great benefits of this wise and hui
name provision for the soldiers and
sailors of the United States and their
dependents will be availed of by
practically all of our fighting men.
At the close of the business day of
December 20 the Bureau of War
Risk Insurance had received applica.
tions to the number of 272,122, aggre-
eating $2,359, 400, 900 insurance.

BEWARE OF THIS FRAUD

The Treasury Department has is.
sued a warning to the relatives and
dependents of men who die in the SER
vice to beware of claims agents who
offer to act for them in securing
pensions. It appears that such men
have already begun operations. Oh
course, they have no function under
the existing law and are of no use
but those who have any knowledge Of
the old system may be deluded into
thinking that pension attorneys are
necessary now as they were in most
cases under the old law.
1t is not likely that these graft
ing pension agents will get far with
their plans, but it, they do the Gov
eminent ought to hold casualty lists
until those directly interested are no
titled and warned against this new
kind of fraud.

USE SORGHUM INSTEAD
OF SUGAR FOR MEAT CURE

Folks who like sugar-cured meat
may save sugar and develop a sugar
cure flavor by using sorghum. This
is a suggestion made by P. F. Trow-
bridge of the University of Missouri
College of agriculture. Plain salt
or salt and pepper may be used in
curing the meat. After the meat is
smoked the sugar cure flavor may be
thoroughly with sorghum. Wrap the
meat and hang it where the mice can
not reach it. The pepper may be
omitted from the cure and applied
with the sorghum.
