MORE POULTRY AND EGGS

Four district men and thirty-siS
state leaders, all trained poultry spe'
cialists, are carrying out the Depart.
merit of AgIiculture's program to Sc
cure large increases in poultry and
egg production this year. In addition
to these workers there are eleven eX-
rention poultry club men who are en-
couraging more efficient poultry pro-
duction among boys and girls in their
various states. Recent reports from
these poultry extension specialists IN
dicate that normal production will be
maintained in practically every sec
tion of the country this year, in which
they are working, and in many locall-
ties an increase over previous years
is expected. The appeal made by the
department specialists to city people
to increase food production by util1
izing their table scraps in feeding
small backyard flocks of hens is max
ing a marked success.

HOG CHOLERA REDUCTION

One hundred and sixty trained vet
erinarians of the Department of Ag-
riculture are working in 33 states, in
cooperation with agricultural colleges
state authorities and local veterina-
rians, to control hog cholera. The
effectiveness of their efforts and the
success of modern methods of COM
batting this disease is shown by the
fact that during 1914 the hog mortal
ity from disease was 100000 head,
as compared to 100000 in the year
ending March, 1918, 80 per cent of
the deaths being due to hog cholera.
The losses in 1914 were equivalent
to the normal consumption of pork
and pork products by the entire pop
ulation of the United States for 81

MANY OPPORTUNITIES
OPEN TO SPECIALISTS

There is a list of 1877 occupations
where the demand for men in the
War Department constantly exceeds
the supply.
A pressing need exists in the Army
for men experienced in handling a
mule, and before all future needs are
met a recruiting campaign may be-
come necessary. No difficulty has
been experienced in getting men who
can buy and handle horses, but black
smiths are scarce.
There is a constant demand for
butchers, and cooks are greatly need
ed. In several technical branches
particularly the engineers, men for
the higher positions are plentiful but
the workers for the ranks are scarce.
Experienced mechanics, especially
those familiar with automobiles, are
always in demand.
More Interpreters than can be used
have applied for positions with the
War Department, and application for
commissions as Army chaplains are
also in excess of the need. The ex-
cess totals thousands in each case.
Clerks for general work are plentiful,
but there is a demand for specialists.
At present there is surplus of den
lists and pharmacists.

fore because good seed corn is scarce,
and because the best seed is needed In
order to produce the large crop which
this nation will need. Even where
seed corn has been carefully gathered
and stored it should be thoroughly
tested in the spring before planting.
The best way to do this is to make
a seed corr testing box and test one
hundred ears separately.

If three or more kernels out OF ten

be wise to test every ear In the entire
supply of seed. If the 100 tested ears
show no poor ones, further testing of
the supply is unnecessary.
Prevention Is Best.
It must not be thought that good re-

sure index of high productivity. Ears

as in damp storage places, may germi-

Corn that was selected wisely In the

In mouse and insect proof storages

Because there Is such a scarcity of
seed corn in some sections Of the corn

agriculture urges that farmers in this
and other sections be careful not to
feed corn that would be more valu-
