FATHER AND SON WEEK.
Governor Gunter, in Proclamation
Designates Feb. II to 18th.


Desianates Feb. II to 18th.
Denver.-Governor Julius c. Gunter
has issued the following proclama'
ton:
The growing observance of Father
and Son Week has afforded opportun-
ity for the expression of those fine re-
lationships between father and son OF
such priceless value in the life of the
boy. 1t will establish tie of com
radship between father and son, which
under pressue of business and other
affairs, is being driven out of the life
of both.
The uniting of the latent powers oil
fathers and sons makes not only for
moral and spiritual betterment, but
for economic and social Improvement
1t provides a most effective means OF
focusing resources of the entire COM
munity upon the building of character
in the hearts and lives of both boys
and men.
Owing to the war many will be de-
prived of the privilege of having their
sons with them. but all can enter into
tnt VI tht AN~y ~'~--
carry before their eyes that stalwart
figure in khaki and receive consola-
ton in the thought of the sacrifice
that has been made in just cause.
Nothing is more important than an
intimate and sympathetic relation be-
tween father and son; nothing more
stimulating and helpful to both faith
ers and sons than an intimate feeling
of comradship and mutual understand
ing
Therefore. /, Julius C. Gunter, COVER
nor OF Colorado. do hereby declare
February 11th to 18th as Father and
Son Week. and urge upon the citizens
OF this commonwealth its observance
to the end that the home may be safe
guarded and the democracy of the
family preserved.

Marketing Hogs in Trucks

An example of how motor trucks are relieving railroad transportation in many sections of the country is shown in the receipts of hogs delivered to the Omaha market by this method of conveyance. According to report re- gently compiled by the bureau of mar kets there was an increase of 180 per cent in the number of hogs transported to that market by motor trucks during the first six months in 1918 as conn pared to the corresponding period in 1917. The number carried in this way amounted to 927s0 for the period in 1918 as compared to 33,0S4 for the cor responding months last year. Estimat- ing 70 hogs as an average carload in railroad shipments, the number deliv- cred by motor trucks on the Omaha market during the first six months of 1918 aggregated more than 1900 car loads, or an average of more than eight carloads for every market day during the period. The motor truck business is becoming so important that com mercial organizations of Omaha arc taking active measures to utilize tie trucks on return trips to country points for hauling various kinds of freight Experience has shown that motor truck marketing is as feasible in winter as in other seasons, as more than 26.O0O hogs were delivered di- rectly from farms to the Omaha mar ket during January and February.

USE PORTABLE GRANARIES

When the granary has been filled, a layer of straw should be placed over the grain and the whole covered with q tarpaulin. This gives a roof that will protect .he grain and can be removed easily. A more substantial roof. and the one recommended in the publication, Is made of removable board panels This type is preferred to permanently fixed one. consisting of boards nailed directly to the rafters, because the top can be removed and the granary filled to it's maximum capacity without difficulty. To provide for emptying 1t is suggested that from the center of each side two or three of the boards be cut the length between studs. These boards may be pried loose to permit the grain to flow out.
 Portable granaries of different capacity may be constructed, but 1t is not advis- able to make them too large for the smaller types are more easily moved. Two small bins require little more mate rial to give the same capacity than one large bin. To provide additional stor- age space at small cost, two small gran aries can be placed parallel to each other few feet apart, q temporary floor laid tetween them, and end walls erected.
 Plans are being prepared by the United States department of agriculture for the l lrstruction of two types of knock ldtwn' grararies. and two permanent EJanaries. These plans should be ready for distribution at an early date and may be obtained. together with plans for the portable granary, from the bureau of markets, United States department of ag- riculture. Washington.

AFTER COOKING

One of the best ways to meet any shortage of storage space for grain on the farm this fall is to construct port able granaries A convenient type which which can be constructed at small cost has been designed by specialists of the United States department of agriculture. Complete details for it's construction have been published in Document Il. of the bureau of markets While the granary described in this publication was de- signed especially for the wheat produc- ing areas of the Pacific northwest it can be used to advantage by any south ern grain growers who have not suffi- cient space in permanent granaries to keep their grain on the farm until it can be marketed. Owing to the trans portation situation it may be necessary to hold grain on the farms where it is produced for a longer period this fall than under normal conditions. and as much grain is now being stored in the bulk rather than in bags. portable farm granaries will be found useful on many farms this year.
 The granary described in the publica- tion is feet wide, s feet high and Is feet long. and has a capacity of 720 bush els. 1t is designed to give maximum storage space from an advantageous use of the most economical lengths of lum- Der. It Is of sufficient strength to with stand hard usage and racking from be- ing dragged over the ground, as well as from the pressure of the grain when filled It can be placed alongside the thresher and the grain spout directed into it.

Grow Seeds at Home

War conditions have made it necessary for the United States to produce at home seed supplies that formerly were import ed from Europe. Temporary seed short ages have developed under new economic conditions, and they may continue" says the United Statesd apartment of agricul- ture in the Seed Supply of the Nation. a new publication issued as yearbook separate 757, but farmers and seedsmen are resourceful and they may be ex- pected to find ways and means to meet not only the needs of this country but also those of other countries which may be dependent upon us."
 Although, as a matter of necessity, seed production has increased in this country since the war. the experts of the depart ment state that the possibilities of conn mercial seed growing in the United States have only been slightly developed. The publication mentioned may be ob- tained by seedsmen and those especially interested. It discusses at length the various American farm crops. from a viewpoint of seed supply.
 American farmers plant upwards of 100000 tons of seed per year, most or this being the great staples wheat, corn. cotton, etc.. and practically all of these seed supplies being produced at home. Nevertheless, we were accustomed before the war to import large quantities of seeds from Europe. For some vegetables sugar beets. and other crops, we de- pended almost entirely upon the Euro pean seed supply. Seed importations from Europe were curtailed or entirely cut off after the WAT.

Beat the Weevils

A surplus of about half a million help the south, the army, and the na- tion's transportation situation if the weevils don't get them first. To beat the weevils and accomplish all these things it is necessary, says the de- partment of agriculture that man. horses, mules, cows and hogs eat more cowpeas. At present prices cowpeas are cheap food. They are highly nutritious, can be prepared in many attractive ways, and are an excellent meat substitute. Cowpeas that are considered undesirable for food can be fed to live stock. When ground they are said to be about equal to corn in feeding value for fattening hogs.
 Because damage by weevils to cow peas in storage increases as summer advances the surplus must be used promptly. The damage by weevils can be checked, if not prevented, by plac- ing the peas in cold storage. To as- sist dealers in carrying stocks, the United States food administration has advised the state food administrators that they will allow a cold storase charge to be added to the cost of the cowpeas.
 The housewife can find many recipes for using cowpeas in circulars and bull. letins issued by the United States de- partment of agriculture and the United States food administrations These can be obtained from county home demon- stration agents or on application to the states relations service, Washing ton, D, c.

The wheatless loaf has been found. While the whole country has been seek ing the loo per cent wheat substitute yeast bread, recipe has been developed in the experimental kitchen of the United States department of agriculture and the United States food administration that may mean the saving of thousands of pounds of wheat flour before flour from the next wheat harvest is available.
 The recipe is soon to be published by the office of home economics. United States department of agriculture. on a new food card which carries directions for making three new wheat substitute breads--the half wheat loaf, the one fourth wheat loaf, and the wheatless loaf
 The directions for making the wheat less bread are as follows:
 All of these: l& cups liquid l taple- spoon corn syrup, A cake yeast, tea spoons salt, 1 whole egg.
