Great Wheat Stocks
Isolated.

It's the shortage in ships that
Is putting the Allies and the
United States on wheat rations.
Great stocks of wheat are iso-
lated In India, and Australia. At
great sacrifice in ship space and
use the Allies are forced to Sc
cure some wheat from Argentina.
On January l, Australia had
stored 100000 bushels Of
wheat that was ready for ex-
port-but there were no ships.
Then came the new crop with
an exportable surplus Of 10000.
600 bushels. Now Australia has
approximately 180,000,000 BUSH
els waiting for ships.
India, at the same time, had
100000 bushels Of wheat
stored for export. During April
100000 bushels more out Of
the new crop will be added to
the pile.
Argentina closed the last ship
ping season with 100000
bushels of wheat left In the
stock available for export. The
new crop will add 135,000,000 to
the left over.
It is not a problem that the
wheat does not exist In the
world--lt Is entirely a problem
Of shipping, which has thrown on
America the obligation Of dlvid.
ing our stock with the Allies.

general interest and illustrated stores
of the work Of the land army.
That the experience of these girls VIII
give strong impetus to the back TO
the farm" movement is already SHOWN
in innumerable little ways.
Many of the girls are planning
when their soldier boys, to whom they
are engaged, return home, to settle on
q little farm, and many women whose
husbands are doing their bit at the
front have declared their intention OF
taking up farm work permanently
when the men return.
Many inquiries have come TO the
committees from young women, who
have expressed a desire to continue
farming in one of England's colonies
after the war, and the government mas
been asked what, if any, arrangements
have been made to meet this request.
In answer to such request the IOl-
lowing appeared in recent NUMBER Oh
the official farm magazine:
"Nothing very definite can be done
in this matter until after the war; Dut
a register is being prepared at mead
quarters of the names, addresses and
qualifications of those girls who wish
to take up this work. When the war
IS over the various colonial govern
ments will be approached with a view
to obtaining special facilities in the
colonies for all the girls whose names
are on this register"
So, no longer is there a question as
to farm work for women being an ac-
cepted or recognized occupation. The
woman farmer az England has come to
stay. Will the American woman foi-
low her example?

PLAN AHEAD FOR
BETTER POULTRY

One must plan ahead in order to be
successful in any line of endeavor.
Poultry keeping is no exception, writes
an authority. If you do not have the
breeding birds you need for the seas
on of 1918, now is a good time to get
them. There is a countrywide scare
ity of good birds for breeding purposes,
higher prices than in past years. 1t
will not pay to get inferior birds in or
der to save little of the purchase
price.
If you are just starting, or if you
want new blood, you can buy either
stock or eggs for Matching. Men are
more likely to buy stock because they
do not usually handle eggs so care
fully as women and also because uSu-
ally they have more money to spend.
To buy stock is the safer plan, of
course, and on the whole is better, but
it costs more money For both stock
and eggs prices are high and will con-
tinue so. One cannot expect to buy
eggs for Matching in 1918 in quantities,
at S. per hundred. Such low prices
are now absurd for eggs from stock of
any decent quality at all.
Most poultry breeders, except those
who have large number of birds of
superior quality, are compelled to re-
plenish their flock with new blood al
most every year. Our flOcks either
go up or go down. Just because prices
are higher than normal we must be
careful to get good quality in what
we buy. This is a time when poor
stuff will not pay. There never was
a time when it was SO true that "the
best is none too good" 1t does not
pay to keep inferior fowls now.

No Established WheaIleSS
Days, but Pound and Half
Should Be the Very limit

The United States food administra-
ton has made wheatless days and
wheatless meals optional in private
homes. But that does not mean the
lid has been taken off. 1t only means
that the question of which day or meal
shall be wheatless is left to the indi-
vidual household.
In other words, the food administra-
ton has made the reduction of wheat
consumption test of good citizen
ship. Each citizen in the land is
asked, as a good American, to cut his
individual wheat consumption to
pound and half a week. That means
to cut the ordinary, peace-time con-
sumption in two. 1t doesn't matter on
what day or what meals that is done,
just so it is done. In that regard the
food administration says:
'In making optional the observance
of wheatless days in private homes
the food administration lifted no re-
strictionS upon the consumption OF
wheat products. 1t is merely asking
the American people to reduce their
per capita consumption to not more
than IL pounds per week,
"This is an absolute military neces-
sity. The method of saving is being
left entirely to the individual. Ii it
can be done without foregoing the use
of wheat at any specified meal or on
any day, the food administration ur-
gent plea for further conservation will
be carried out to the letter."

nave also provided attractive barracks
Tor the use of the girls when their
Gays work is done.
In other instances, where the farms
are not so large, and the distances are
not so great, these committees have
been the means of inaugurating a CEN
tral clubhouse for the girls of a dis
trlct. Here, girls employed on the va
r1ous farms in the district are able to
meet for an evening or Sunday after
noon chat, cup of tea, or to listen to
the music of graphOphone, and in
this way loneliness-that dreaded bug
aboo of the farmhand-has been re-
moved.
AS girls learn of these arrangements
that have been made for their COM
fort, slowly the old prejudice against
farm life dies out
At the same time the men and wom-
en- in charge of the work of increasing
this interest throughout the country
speak enthusiastically of the change
that has come over the farmer Gen
orally speaking, the old prejudice of
the average English farmer against
employing women for general work, is
gradually giving way before the great
army of efficient women workers.
The farmer now not only writes let
ters to the board of agriculture and
the committees through whom he en-
gagged the girls, commencing their
work in the highest terms, but the adj
miration of the farmer for these CON
scientiOus, adaptable, light-hearted
workers has led in a great number of
cases to his marrying a girl farmland,
which is, of course, the highest compli-
ment he can pay her.
While girls have proven their eff
cheney in all departments of farm
work, from operating a motorplow to
wedding and haying, one thing in
which they have excelled is in taking
care of the stock. The farmers have
been quick TO realize this. 1t has
been woman's natural work to care
for children, so why shouldn't she be
especially adapted to looking after the
pets of the barnyard?
AS the numbers of the land army
have grown to thousands, the commit
tee of women, under the board of agri-
culture which has this work in hand
is constantly introducing new ideas.
For instance, travelling inspectors
visit the district committees, and often
the girls themselves, and thus the girls
may keep in touch with the land army
organization. Examinations are held
at various periods of the year and any
ambitious girl who has devoted her
time to specializing in certain kind
of work, such as dairying, gardening
or poultry raising, may enter the ex-
aminations. Her efficiency is record
ed with the committee, and she is
given the first opportunity that is open
for her services, with the increased

How President Kruger Decided
Problem for Two Brothers

That very canny person, President
Kruger, was once called upon, as King
Solomon before him, to pass judgment
in matter Of ownership. The case
was that of two brothers, who had
been left farm and could not agree
as to the division which had to be
made. They agreed that, rather than
take the matter to the courts, they
would let President Kruger decide.
President Kruger appears to have hes
itated about as little as King Solomon
did. He instructed the elder brother
to make what he considered fair d.
vision, and then he gave first choice
to the younger brother. A solution,
like Solomon's, both mastery and sim.

Why They Are Called TumblerS.

About 1,5OO years ago the Saxons in
England used drinking vessels that
were made of horns of cattle or oxen.
They were shaped like cones. AS their
bottoms were pointed they would not
stand erect. When a man had his drink
ing horn filled he disposed of it's con-
tents at single draught and did not
lay it down until he had drained it.
These horns were tumblers in the sense
that they would not stand upright. Al
though our modern glasses do not have
this Objectionable quality, the name
that originated In early Saxon times
still persists.
