A certain young indianapolis Mother
adopted the policy this summer of TAX
ing her little son with her on visits q
the homes Of friends. Several weeks
ago, while passing the James Whitcnmh
Riley homestead, the young mother
who had read number Of Riley's
poems TO the boy, pointed out the
house and told him who once lived
there. few days later she had oc-
casion to pass the home OF Kin Hub
bard, writer of the Abe Martin philoso-
ply IN the News.
There Is the home Of Abe Martin,
said she, pointing at the house.
The boy gazed at II intently for a
few minutes. and then. turning to his
mother, said:

stuffs. especially meats and animals
as / expect the manufacturers of farm
implements to be called upon TO sat
isfy Europe'S extraordinary demands"
This is the answer which David f.
Houston, secretary of the United
States department of agriculture,
gives TO the question what is the fu-
ture of farming?"
There is a great work to be done.
Urban people have begun to see their
relation 10 agriculture. The impor-
lance of the farmer and producer has
become impressed on the mind of the
nation as never before. 1t viii serve
TO make easier in the future the con
sideration of those things about which
heretofore it was difficult even to en-
list public attention. The war really
has made us think economically about
food. We've nearly always had an
abundance, exported more or less, but
still have had an abundance for our
own people. That's why we have been
more wasteful and less conserving
than other nations. When the war
broke out l estimated that we wasted
in the household approximately $780,
100000 worth of food annually; but
that was a low estimate.
And we are supplying our own de-

Army Makes Record Meat Purchase.

Chicago.-The largest single order
for bacon and canned meats in the
history of the world-99, 100000
pounds of bacon and 134,0O00O0 pounds
of canned ri aat-has just been placed
by the Quartermaster's Department
q. s. A.. for the American Army over
seas.
Louis f.. Swift. In commenting on
this today, said the order will take
the bacon from approximately 1900
600 hogs. and II other work were
dropped to produce ii, would be equiv
alent TO the total bacon production of
the five largest Chicago packers for
nearly five weeks However. six months
will elapse before delivery Is to be com
pleted. Mr. Swift said:
AT the current prices on the day,
last week, when the purchase was
made, the packers would pay the live
stock producers about SS0,000,O00 for
the necessary hogs and ove~ S50000,000
for about 100000 cattle required. The
cattle will cost us twice as much. and
the hogs two and one-half times as
much as I'm the pre-war period.
The whole order viii be made up be-
fore the first of the year, despite the
fact that. even before this purchase,
one-fourth Of the packers facilities
have been devoted to filing military
demands In order 10 get out the
canned goods the packers viii find II
necessary to employ night and day
shifts of Gamers. Notwithstanding
the fact that the products are being
rushed forward thus hurriedly not a
single complaint has been received on
meats delivered to the armies abroad
The five packers are now killing
about 100000 hogs weekly TO keep
abreast of martial and domestic needs. >

OF all the food Industries in Europe
there is none which has been so
stricken by the war as the dairy
produce. The human race through
scores of thousands Of years has de-
veloped total dependency upon
cattle for the rearing Of it's young.
No greater catastrophe can happen
to a people than the loss Of its csiry
herds. for the total loss Of dairy yrod-

consin ranks second in acreage and
production of fiber.
Large areas in Wisconsin are adj
mirably suited to hemp culture; the
climate is particularly suited to the
production of dewretted fiber of good
strength and high quality; the yields
of fiber obtained in this state have
been entirely satisfactory, ranging
from 1000 to over 1900 pounds to the
acre: and our farmers have received
profitable returns from the culture of
the crop.
In the improvement of machinery
for handling the crop one of the most
SCI. rus problems of the industry is be-
ing solved. Hand labor is now unnec-
essary in handling WiscOGsin's hemp
crop. 1t is harvested by special ma
chinery, and especially constructed and
equipped mills are established in the
state for separating the fiber from the
stalks. II fact, Wisconsin now has
over 20 per cent of the total number
of hemp mills in the United States.

operation with the office of fiber In
vestigations Of the United States de-
partment of agriculture. The results
were so promising that the investiga-
tional work was rapidly increased dr.
ing 1909, 1910 and 1911. During taeSe
years fields were grown at Mendoza,
Waupun and Viroqua. At each of
these points good results were OBJ
tanned. At Waupun in 1911 the hemp
was grown on land badly infested with
quack grass, and in spite of an I'M
favorable season q yield of 2,lOO
pounds of fiber to the acre was OBJ
tanned, and the quack grass was prac'
tically destroyed. The results were so
encouraging that several neighboring
farmers became interested, and in 1872
grew a total of 125 acres. Since that
time hemp has been grown in that vi
entity every year as commercial
crop. During the last few years the
industry has extended chiefly from
waupun to Brandon and westward
through the region between Fairwater
and Markesan.
