Aidino Farmers by Groups.

One of the important ways in which
q county agricultural agent serves the
farmers in community is by means
of farm management demonstrations.
In most communities there are few
farmers who are much more success
full than the average of the rest of the
farmers in that community, and at the
same time they are working under
very similar conditions, with similar
soil, climate, transportation facilities,
and the same markets. In conducting
farm management demonstrations.
groups of farmers are assisted in keep
ing records of their business. Each
farmer is assisted in determining from
these records what labor income he re-
ceives for his years work and what
each part Of his farm contributed
toward this income. At the same time
he is given certain information regard
ing how some of his more successful
neighbors conduct their business.

GROW MORE WOOL
FOR OUR SOLDIERS!

There must be 20 sheep back
of every soldier to clothe and
equip him.
The army and navy need 3OO,-
100000 pounds of wool for the
year ending September, 1918.
The total production in the Unit
ed States last year was about
291, 100000 pounds.
Grow more wool.

SHEEP INCREASE
NEEDED BY ARMY
MooI Production Now Only so Per
Cent Of Amount Required for
Peace Times.
RAISE MORE FOR SOLDIERS
Department Of Agriculture Urges More
Attention to Industry Especially in
Eastern and Southern Portions
Of Country.

Pointing out the serious shortage OF
wool at a time when this material is
of such vital Importance in war opera
ions, the department of agriculture
n it's agricultural program for 1918
arges that an effort be made to In
crease the production of sheep and
wool. Increase in farm flocks is rec
,mmended wherever conditions are
favorable and the first cost Of stocking
S not too high.
Amount Of Wool Produced.
The wool produced in this country
furnishes only about so per cent OF
the amount used in peace times; the
var demands have emphasized the
seriousness of this domestic shortage.
To equip two million soldiers and
clothe them for one year would re-
luire the entire quantity of wool
crown annually in this country.
During recent years we have shOrn
about So million fleeces annually, and
the pulled wool taken from sheep and
lambs slaughtered for meat brings the
total clip up to the equivalent of about
| 10 million fleeces. If all this wool
| we're suitable for military use, 1t
would supply only two million men.
The production of wool in the United
States has remained practically sta
tionary from 1914 to 1917, while i'm
ports increased 4S per cent, and the
estimated net supply increased only
about q per cent.
Mutton and Wool.
That mutton and wool production In
this country can be increased greatly
admits of no doubt This can be &C
complished by developing sheep hus-
bandry on farms, especially in the
Eastern and Southern states. Steps
should be taken in the East and
South to do away with the sheep-kill'
ing dog menace by state or local
action. Large results can be secured
ny improving methods of breeding and
management on the range; by secur
ing the restocking of improved farm
lands with sheep; by the larger use Of
forage crops and pastures; by en-
couraging sheep and lamb clubs; by
the elimination of parasites; by pro
lection against losses from predatory
animals: and by having lambs ready
for market at from 20 to so pounds
weight. thereby requiring minimum
Of grain to finish them and making
possible the maintenance Of larger
breeding flOcks.

WASHINGTON March 26-As a re- suit of the great German drive on the West front causing the allies to be pushed back, for a considerable dis tance, a storm of criticism has broken over the heads of the administration officials here today in the Senate.
 Senator Lodge, of Massachusetts, of whose patriotism there can be no doubt, since he only owns a few mill lion shares of the stocks of war indus tries, was the leader of the caustic criticism.
 While one of the first to condemn Senator Robert La Toilette for his ad- vocacy of free speech and honest crit icisun, the astute politician now de- clares to the world that the day of silence and intolerance is past; th4t the people must know what is going on.
 Lodge stated in stentorian tones that if the bunglings of War Department
The daily Nome industrial worker., 1918-03-27

officials were not immediately remedi- ed, America would find herself fighting for her very existance, with no allies to help her, at no very distant date.
 Lodges bombastic outburst is said to have been inspired by that vetern hot air merchant of the American Army Leonard Woods, one of Teddy's pets, who because he had nothing in his head but plenty of political prestige, was promoted over the heads of real army officers during Teddy's reign.
 General Woods was at one time groomed by the Republican machine for President, and ever since the idea of the great opportunity ne missed to become military dictator has soured his stomach.
 Lodge and a few more of those of his tpye, who have been trying to force a war cabinet on President Will son, for some time. have picked this time to accomplish their ends and at
