The Army Signal Corps of the
United States requests people dis
posed toward shooting something, not
to shoot pigeons. Complaint is made
that numerous carrier pigeons OF the
racing homer type have been shot by
hunters, and that the important work
of training birds for military service
has thus been seriously interferred
with. Of course all army pigeons are
tagged with the letters and figures,
gu. S. As" but the person who
is impelled by an irrepressible desire
to be killing something no matter
how small or how innocent, does not
know that he has shot a United States
carrier pigeon until he has brought
the bird down. If these people must
be shooting something, it might be
well for Congress to place in a reser-
walton where they will have an OPP
portunity of shooting at nothing but
decoy ducks.-Science Monitor.

FARM MACHINERY NOT REALLY
HIGH PRICED

Never was there a time when the
eyes Of the Nation turned so COM
/ plctcly toward the farmer. Not only
must our people be fed at home, but
our soldiers at home and abroad,
with the millions of our Allies.
must be sustained by the increased
efforts of our farmers. A despOnd-
ent view is taken by many, founded
on the fact that so many thou
sands of soldiers have been called
from the farm that all branches Of
farming will thereby be crippled.
While admitting the force of the
situation thus forced upon us. we
know that the farmers remaining
at home are capable Of producing
at least One-tenth more farm prod
ucls than they have been produc-
ing heretofore. and from some
what extended observation and in
quiry am fully satisfied that the
greatest effort of their lives will be
put forth this season, and this effort
will fully compensate for the short
age in farm hands. More machin-
cry will be introduced. which Will
not only increase the productive
power to cultivate as many acres as
heretofore. but will increase the
quantity per acre by better method
of cultivation.
We hear the complaint that ma
chnery has So advanced in price that
farmers cannot afford 10 buy, but
this is a sad mistake. No implement
has advanced in price in the last
three years in proportion to the
price Of cotton. From December T..
1915, 10 December 1, 1917, Tennes-
see cotton advanced from ii.3 cents
per pound to 27.3. almost $50 per
cent, while ! know Of no imple-
ment that has advanced equal to
20 per cent. So, taking cotton as
the standard, implements are now
cheaper than. ! might say. at any
time in the last ten years. With
Unprecedented prices for every
product Of the farm. surely will our
farmers meet the situation with the
report next November that more
bales Of cotton. more barrels of corn
and more bales of hay. as well as
all other farm products. have been
produced than during any year in
