Letter From Prof, Stone.
Douglas. Arizona,
June 1918.

Dear Bro. Harmon:
have thought of you folks
many times since leaving Poplar
vile, but have not had the OPP
portunlty to put it on paper.
| have had good many things
to happen to me during the last
month-the fact that | am away
over here in the State of Arizona,
the worst; training to fight the
Huns. the best.
| am getting on to army life
right along; they sure put the
fire into the men, and by the
time we get to France you will
hear of the Kaiser's death. Lee,
Smith and Wheat are still here
in the 302nd.
sure miss PopIarville and all
my friends back there. | hope
the home fires are burning" as
never before, and the people are
wide awake and doing all they
can to help the boys who are
giving their best-the mselves-
to the cause of humanity.
The Y. M. C. A. is dong
splendid work. l hear the boys
say eve~v day what would cam
life be without the Y. M. C. A?"
During the time that we were
under quarantine the Secretaries
came over and held religious SER
vices for us twice a week; they
also furnished us with writing
material, etc. The Red Cross
brought us books and magazines.
God bless all these agencies
which mean so much to the boys
that are separated from home
and mother.
| wish could tell you all about
the good things that l find here,
but time does not permit.
| sure wish | were back there
now sitting with YOU at Mrs.
Harmon : table with ali the good
things to eat at my command. Il
began work this morning by
running three fourths of a mile,
and have been working hard all
day so believe | could get ahead
Of the eating record that Woods
and 1 made.
Remem Der me to all nv
friends.
With best wishes to YOU and
yours,
Your friend,

get much real pleasure out of life when
his bowels are clogsed good share OF
the time and the poisons that should be
expelled are absorbed into the system,
producing headache and indigestion. A

A One-Day Ration for 100 Hens

Mr.. C. C. Hamilton of the Agricul-
tural Extension Service, assisted the
County Agent two days during the
last week, in making a complete sur
vey of the Hessian Fly situation in
this county, On account of the ex-
treme shortage of labor at seeding
time and of the desire Of most of our
farmers to sow a large wheat crop, a
great deal of wheat was sown before
the fy-free date. This date is Oc-
tober 18th and is nothing more than
the usual time Of a severe, killing
frost which stops the work of the
hessian fly. Twelve fields of wheat
in different parts of the county were
examined. The worst infestation
found was in field near Pennington,
in which 35 per cent of the plants
were infested. This field will be very
severely damaged by the spring brood
Matching from this falls infestation.
This badly infested field was sown
September 14th and without question,
the bad infestation was due to this
early seeding.
Another field near Libertyville was
found to have about Is per cent in
festation. This field was sown dur
ing September. Of the other fields
examined, every field that was sown
in September was found to have fly
infestation. Those sown about the
fly-free date were found absolutely
free of Hessian Fly. Several early
sown fields near Desloge were exam
med and found to have only slight
infestation which possibly may have
been due to their isolation from other
wheat fields. The badly infested
fields will be watched by the County
Agent next spring and the results of
the infestation reported through the
papers.

FARM BUREAU NEWS NOTES
(By County Agent Glenn S. Hensley)
Balancing the Ration for Egg
Production

We note there is an unusual amount
of advertising in all our papers offer
ing to give rules or formulas for egg
producing rations, if the reader will
send one dollar. The readers of this
paper are assured that the feeds here
given will give as good results as any
"secret" ration that people can get
"let in" on for 81. The best poultry
men the government can secure are
hired to give this information free to
all who will apply it. Cranks and
cracks gain their livelihood by means
of dollar fees charged for such rec
ipes. The following information has
been supplied recently by our govern
ment poultrymen:
IAN egg is made of three parts, the
yolk, white and shell, made in three
parts of the egg organ and made out
of three different kinds of feed.
"If hen is fed ration that will
make 100 yolks, % whites and 100
shells, the hen can make only 20
eggs, or if the ration would make
100 yolks, 100 whites and only %
shells, 25 eggs is all the hen can make,
in which case rs yolks and rs, whites
are wasted, which is ga of the feed
above body maintenance.
1--WE often see fiocks fed an album
dance of feed and the hens doing all
they can to make eggs but nature will
not permit them to do so because OF
a lack of proper elements in the feed.
"The big problem before the poultry
man is to balance the ration. This
problem is made greater during war
times because of scarcity of certain
feeds at different times.
"For the benefit of those who de-
sire to balance the feed ration for egg
production the following list of feeds
is given. The value of each feed is
given in terms of yolks and whites
instead of carbohydrates and protein.
This is above body maintenance and
based on a value of 3 l-3 yolks for
each pound of carbohydrates and l6
% whites for each pound of protein.
"This list is given so that any one
can take, whatever feed they have at
hand and add to it such feed as will
make balance. Learning how to
make a balance is of far more impor-
lance than learning one ration. The
following list is based on 100 pounds

Few Escape.

There are few indeed who escape
having at least one cold during the
winter months, and they are FORUM
ate who have but one and get through
with it quickly and without any Sc
rious consequences. Take Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy and observe the
directions with each bottle and you are
likely to be one of the fortunate ones.
The worth and merit of this remedy
has been fully proven. There are
many families who have always used
it for years when troubled with a
cough or cold, and with the very best
results. Obtainable everywhere.
The Farmington times. (Farmington, St. Francois County, Mo.) 1905-1926, 1918-12-13

fore crushed oyster-shell or fine
life rock should be before the fowls
all the time. Flint in the form of
chats, or gravel, serve to grind the
feed but do not supply the lime to
make the shells.
Zone pound Of salt can be used to
each 100 pounds of feed. 1t will be
observed by looking at the table that
corn is not balance, for 100 pounds
will make 255 yolks and only 1876
whites, therefore something should be
fed with corn to make more whites
than yolks.
Following are some rations which
are given as examples to show how
to make the ration balance;
