The Kansas City sun. (Kansas City, Mo.) 1908-1924, 1918-07-27

CIV ShAANp Japan A"C l.
Russia ana Australia. All of these countries as
well as Central and South America, have materials
or products which we need just as they need ours.
Australia recently had a surplus stated to be
BOO 600 900 bushels Of wheat and another big sur
plus in process Of gathering. There was enough,
In fact, to feed England and France for q year.
But 1t was of no practical use to the allies. There
were no vessels to be spared for the long haul
which takes eight or ten weeks from Australia to
England.
Last year there was a surplus in Java of 1.000,-
600 tons Of sugar which other parts OF the world
needing badly could not get because of lack of
ships.
Great heaps of coffee were spelling on the East
Indian wharves. There was no shipping to move
It to other countries.
Pyrites, which was badly needed here, could not
be brought from Spain because Of the want Of
ships. ar
These are but a few examples of what a ship
famine means. -a.e..- fo- % i..-
Besides the many millions of tons Of shipping
needed for the purposes already described, there
Is also the pressing necessity for multiplying
the number of ships, tugs and barges for domes-
tic coastwise, lake and inland waterway trans
portation. These are of the most vital impor-
lance to the farmer. Our inland, lake and coast
waterways can be used to transport vast guam
titles of wheat and other products, and freight
Of all kinds can be sent back on the return
trip. This transportation will be cheaper to

congestion. 81 T q .frr. r. 81
In less than a years time the accomplish
ments of the United States shipping board have
been on an unprecedented scale. Where In 1917
there were only 81 shipyard plants In the United
States, there are now 1913, and more are be-
ing constantly established. The United States
shipping board has given out contracts for 1885,
600 lightweight tons of ships, and has already
put in service ss1.111 lightweight tons OF new
shipping. This In addition to 2.O73.S26 dead
weight tons of neutral and allied ships under
charter, German and Austrian ships seized, and
Dutch ships requisitioned. 1t is launching new
ships rapidly. and is beginning to make provi-
sion for tugs and barges for inland and coast
wise water traffic. From the small number of
44,926 men employed In American shipyards on
April /, 1917, the force OF shipbuilders in our
yards has now increased to 100000.
With this progress American farmers can look
forward to the certainty of a great merchant ma
rine, built in American s~hipyards and carrying
their products the world over now and after
the war.

vent the landing of large forces in France. But
by its foul methods of warfare it has already
sunk many millions of tons of ships. Not only
has that world loss to be more than made up, but
we have to provide a large further tonnage to
keep on sending our soldiers abroad and sup
plying them adequately. We have the unprece-
denied job of not only feeding our own army but
other armies and other populations also.
But the ships required for those purposes are
only a part Of what we need. Later on those ships
will be necessary in bringing back our victorious
soldiers from Europe. But at present and for
some time to come the movement is one of full
ships to Europe and fairly empty ones back.
The United States is now the great reservoir
from which supplies must be drawn. The enor-
nous gain In our exports shows how other ma
lions are increasingly looking to US to sustain
them.
Although our exports may occasionally decline,
still on the whole there Is every probability of
their increasing, not only during the war but
after the war. Large areas Of Europe are depop-
ulated and devastated. Many Of the rich wheat
growing sections including almost all of the win
ter-wheat producing areas Of Russia, are In the
Germans possession. Conditions in Russia are
chaotic. The western European allies produced
In 1917 about 222000.000 bushels less than the an
nual pre-war average There was a great drop
also in the wheat production Of other European
countries. Argentina, Australia and India are
producing good crops. But there is no shipping
to- move it properly.
While the war Is on there is a big enough de-
mand from our allies In Europe for materials Of
all kinds. We have to supply coal. steel, oil, cot
ton, lumber, rails. locomotives and a great guam
tty of other products. After the war when the
Job Of rehabilitating Europe is put through, the
demand upon this country for raw and manufac-
tured material OF all kinds will be enormous. We
shall also have to replenish the depleted herds Of
Europe from our own cattle. Ours, In fact, will
be the task OF supplying most Of the world.
So 1t Is clear that besides the millions of tons Of
shipping urgently needed for the army and navy.
we shall need a great permanent merchant ma
rlne. In 1914 only $166.000.000 of the more than
$4,000, 1000 of our exports was carried in Ameri-
can vessels. Even now a great part Of the cargo
and passenger ships we are using are seized enemy
vessels or requisitioned or chartered allied or
neutral vessels.
Not only on the Atlantic but on all oceans we
must have an abundance Of American ships.
Since the opening of the Panama canal, the At
lantIc and Pacific oceans have been linked by the
short route

gists who have studied the subject
thoroughly:
Water-tight floors in stables, of con-
crete or masonry, prevent egg devej-
opment.
Horse should be kept in fly
tight pits or bins, equipped wherever
possible with flytraps. Manure should
be removed frequently, not less fire.
quently than twice q week during the
summer months.
In rural and suburban districts sta
BILE manure should be removed every
morning and hauled out at once and
spread rather thinly on the fields, not
only to prevent development of fly
eggs, but to get the maximum fertiliz-
ing value.
Treatment Of manure with chemical
substances to kill the eggs and mag
gots of the house fly has been found
effective in experiments by the de
partment of agriculture, which has
publications for free distribution de-
scribing in detail this and other meth
DDS of destroying flies, their eggs and
maggots.
Not only horse stables but chicken
yards, piggeries and garbage recepta-
cles as well must be guarded. In
cities, with better methods of garbage
disposal and with the ~lessening of the
number of horses and stables with the
increase of street railways and auto
mobiles, the time may not be fan
away, according to department special
lists, when window screens may be dis
carded.

NA/ grains expected from our farms
Wv this year, the American farmer
tIyI@ is showing what his contribution
is to the war for human free
- dom. Remote as he may be from
the actual scene of conflict, he knows that he Is
a big part Of the world battle line. Upon his
productive efforts largely depend the supply
ing of the allied armed forces and populations
with food.
To the appeal, 'Food will win the war;" the
American farmer has responded with splendid
results. But of course that appeal has its quail
ihcations. One provlso is that food will 60 a
long way toward insuring victory If we have
plenty of ships to convey 1t where 1t Is needed.
Great fleets Of ships have been or are being Gre
ated by the United States shipping board. They
are being produced at a record pace. But to
carry out our vast necessary shipping program
with the fullest adequacy 1t is vital that the
earnest interest Of every part Of our great coun-
try should be increasingly enlisted.
Far away from the seaboard as many of our
farms are, they are Joined with the ocean to a
degree they never were before. The ships sup
plement the pillow and the harvester. Day and
night the farmer has been thinking of how he
could make his land more productive. 1t is a
subject that never leaves him. The indica-
lions are that so well has he thought it out that
this years crop of winter wheat alone will be
154, 000,0 600 bushels more than last years, large
as that was. And this is only one part of the
immense crops coming from American farms.
True, there is always the gamble of weather con-
ditions and the menace Of insect Gepredations.
But the present promise is a high production
from our farms.
OF itself this fact does not alarm the Huns.
They know that our big food supply is of no
danger to them IL we cannot get 1t across. BUT
what does fill them with dread and foreboding
is the knowledge that We are rapidly getting to-
gether the ships that will transport 1t over the
ocean to feed our troops and those of the allies
and the peoples of the countries banded to defeat
Hun aggression What will further make the
Huns quake is the fact that our millions of farm
ers are as determined to support the program
for vast fleets of ships as they are set upon rails
ing vast crops.
The Hun submarine murder campaign was
undertaken with the express view of starving
out certain countries, and terrorizing the rest.
1t aimed at destroying the ships that could
carry our supplies to Europe. 1t didn't succeed
any more in that design than In the effort to pre-

Protein and lite Value.

Every farmer knows that nitrogen Is
one of the chemical elements which
neither his crops nor his stock can do
without. The same Is true of nitrogen
in human food. 1t is absolutely nee
essary for the building and repair of
body tissues and can be obtained only
from the food substance or nutrient
known as protein.
The foods usually classed as rich in
protein are milk, cheese, eggs, meat,
poultry and fish; dried legumes, such
as peas, beans, cowpeas, soy beans
and peanuts. Wheat, oats and some
other cereals also furnish considerable
protein. tt ~. ,
A man at moderate muscular work
is believed to need about three and
one-half ounces Of protein a day. ano
a family consisting Of father. mother
and three small children needs about
twelve ounces a day. Real economy
in the use of protein foods lies not In
leaving them out of the diet, but In
choosing and combining kinds which
will supply the total amount needed
as cheaply as circumstances permit

COSTLY FOODS ARE
NOT ALWAYS BEST

The nutritive value of an ar
ticle of food and its price sell
dom have any relation to each
other. An expensive cut of beef
is not necessarily any nor sus-
tanning than a cheap one. 1t
usually tastes better or can be
cooked by easier methods. But
care in cooking and seasoning
will make inexpensive meats at
tractive and much better than
costly ones poorly prepared.
With fruits and vegetables
the price is often determined
by the eason A vegetable out
Of season is much more expen-
sive than one in season, but 1t
is no more nutritive.

Barley Saves Wheat.

Not many years ago barley was used
more extensively than wheat for bread
making in many European countries
Now 1t is coming into American favor
as a wheat substitute.
Barley -four is very satisfactory for
hot breads. Try this recipe, tested
by government specialists, for barley
