The week of March 4th to 9th was
designated az "National Implement
inspection and Repair Week." with
the sanction of the Food Administra
ton of the Department of Agricul-
ture and the Council Of Defense, to
"Help Win the War" 1t would
seem that the suggestion was also
taken by q majority Of the farmers
Of North Dakota as applying to the
repair of their political fences-that
is if the district conventions held last
Saturday afternoon for the naming of
state convention delegates and legis-
iative candidates by the members
of the nonpartisan league may be re-
carried as any criterion to 60 by.

The meeting of Cavalier county
school officers held in Langdon, dur
ing the forenoon of Friday, the day
ollowing the close of the farmers
convention adopted a resolution
which recommends the petitioning of
the next legislature to amend the
state school law so as to permit the
holding of school on Saturdays. As
the law now stands it is illegal ia
hold school on that day.
The adopting of the resolution is
viewed as a war time and
to enable the shortening up of the
term so as to alleviate labor conditit n
during the busy harvesting and
threshing seasons.

BRITISH GOVERNMENT
HELPS PAY FOR BREAD

There has been much misunder.
standing about the bread program in
England. 1t is true thatsthe English
man buys loaf of bread for less than
an American can, but it is poorer
bread, and the British government Is
paying $200,000,OOO year toward the
cost Of it.
All the grain grown in Great Brit
ain is taken over by the government
at an arbitrary price and the imported
wheat purchased on the markets at
the prevailing market price. This is
turned over to the mills by the govern.
ment at price that allows the adul
terated war bread loaf Of four pounds
to sell at IS cents, the two pound loaf
at 8 cents and the one pound loaf at 8
cents.
In France. under conditions some
what similar, but with larger ex-
traction, the four pound loaf sells for
16 cents.

Machinists' Mates and Electricians
Needed In Navy.

The Nays special need at this
time is for Machinists' Mates and
Electricians, general and radio, ac-
cording to announcement by the
Navy recruiting authorities of the
Maryland district.
The Machinists' are needed for the
aviation branch Of the service and
the Electricians are needed for the
ships already in commission and
those fitting out.
Both Machinists' and Electricians
are given a course in instruction and
training before taking up the duties
required Of them.
These are especially attractive
branches of the naval service and
young men going into them at this
time can feel sure of rapid pro-
motion If they are found capable and
willing to work for advancement.
In addition to Machinists' and
Electricians there is still need for
apprentice seamen and carpenters.
Special attention is also called by
the recruiting authorities to the fact
that young men can now enlist in the
Navy for the duration of the war
only.

NEED BIC HERDS
Europe's Meat Supply Must Come
From America.
Warning Nations Have Depicted Live
Stock at Enormous Rate, Eve,
killing Dairy Cattle For Food.

American stock breeders are being
asked to conserve their fiocks and
herds in order to meet Europe's ire
mendous demands for meats during
the war and probably for many years
afterward.
The United States food admins
tration reports that American stock
raisers have shown disposition to
cooperate with the government in in.
creasing the nations supply Of live
stock.
Germany today is probably better
supplied with live stock than any 9TH
er European nation. When the Ger
man armies made their big advance
into France and then retreated vir.
tually all the cattle in the invaded
territory approximately 100000
head--were driven behind the German
lines.
But in England-where 100000
acres of pasture lands have been turn
ed into grain fields-the cattle herds

reasons apparently is the declining
maximum price scale adopted by the
English as follows: For September,
$17.76 per 100 pounds October, SIPS;
November and December, $1608; jan
larry, $14.40. The effect Of these prices
was to drive beef animals on the mar
ket as soon as possible.
In France the number OF cattle as
weN as the quality have shown an
enormous declinev during the war.
Where France had 14,S07 900 head of
cattle in 1913, she now has only H.
341, 900, a decrease Of 1853 per cent.
And France is today producing only
one gallon Of milk compared to two
and one-half gallons before the war.
Denmark and Holland have been
forced to sacrifice dairy herds for beef
because of the lack of necessary feed.
Close study Of the European meat
situation has convinced the Food Adj
ministration that the future problem
of America lies largely in the produc-
ton of meat producing animals and
dairy products rather than in the pro-
duction Of cereals for export when
the war will have ceased.

Hog Raising A Boon To Maryland.
It has been said by distinguished
citizen that were it not for the
American hog. Chicago would be a
prarie village, Kansas City a barren
hill, and Omaha ferry crossing on
he Pixies Peak trail, that food loan
ID to well-bred hog is cash at a
zig interest.
The most powerful of any single
influence in building up the Great
West has been the mother hog. Her
ons and daughters pay the taxes,
,lothe the family, send the children
% school, pay off mortgages. in
,rease the price of the land, and buy
he automobiles for the farmers.
What the hog has done for the
West, it will do for Maryland If only
given the opportunity. Maryland is
soday importing its pork, whereas,
because of the ideal conditions in
The State for raising hogs, it should
BE producing pork to sell to the
country at large, and it has a market
,or such produce which is second to
zone In the country.
While the above is true, pre-
Yentable disease -hog cholera-is
Encouraging the farmers of Mary
land from trying to raise hogs, and
It is to aid them in this difficulty
hat the Extension Service OF the
Maryland State College Of Agricul-
ure, the State Board of Agriculture.
nd the U. S. Bureau Of Animal In
lustry cooperating are conducting
(. systematic campaign IN Cecil
county for the control of this dis
ase. But it must be remembered
hat success in the work depends on
he farmers themselves, for the
ght must be made on the farm.
When meetings are arranged for,
our neighborhood, it is urged that
GU attend. What you will learn
egarding the management and care
{ hogs will prove profitable even
hough there is no hog cholera in the
eighborhood.
Failure on the part of the farmers
nd stock raisers to attend these
aeetings means that Cecil County

ecessary lesses from this dread
isease.
