Il tune Planning and very interest
ing person to meet While in Man
chester Miss Tucker was given tn,
opportunity to speak to two groups o
girls at the High School on the sub.
ject OF Dress for High School Girls
The ideas she gave the girls emphazi.
zed simplicity and suitability in re.
gard in choosing their clothes. She
also emphasized the idea OF girls esti-
mating how much their clothes cost
for the past year, as q guide to plan
ming the coming years wardrobe, then
to plan what was needed and keep
account Of the money spent. The girls
had the opportunity Of taking away
some very helpful suggestion. We are
hoping that Miss Tucker may return
at a later date to visit other parts
Of the county.
This week there is state wide
campaign to urge the more extensive
use of milk. Leaflets explaining the
value and uses Of milk are being dis
tributed throughout the schools and
lectures and talks are being given.
Recent Investigations and expert
ments in nutrition have shown the
Importance Of this most perfect food
for old as we'll as young. It is an
economical food, even since the price
has generally raised. We should in
sist on good wholesome milk and some
make every effort to get 1t.
The following are few facts about
milk.
1-Milk has no waste-it is all used.
o Milk at .15cp quart is as cheap
q source Of protein as meat at Soc q
pound.
s-Milk is the only all'around food
It contains some Of all the necessary
food substances.
4-Milk is the best source Of lime
It il a good bone builder it keeps your
teeth hard.
5.Thsre are more than 200 ways
Of using milk IN cooking.

The Farm Bureau has secured Rex

farmer interested in the work that
the Farm Bureau is doing should at
tend the meeting neares to his place.
Owing to the long term Of Court the

HOLDING FARM PRODUCTS.

Last week letter was received
from Mr.. Covordale, secretary of the
Farm Bureau Federation stating that
farmers should hold S1eir grain and
livestock until conditions became set
tied. This is good advice under the
present situation which is alleged to
have been brought on by the packers
and the Board OF trade. II farmers
would hold their products for thirty
DAYS there is no question but that
the old law OF supply and demand
would again be in operation.
The farmers have been melting the
situation In Illinois through Its Farm
Bureau. The recent membership drive
which produced over 100000 members
and 4 working fund Of 100000 indi-
Gates that they intend to led proper
I support. It is now up to the farmers
OF Iowa to meet the issue.
Iowa IL primarily 2 livestock state
and recent meeting operations M
dictates that farmers have been losing
money ON both hogs and cattle based
upon the cost Of production-c orn
being rated at $1.70 cents per bushel
in Chicago. With prospects OF II corn
on the farm this fall the feeder VIII
no doubt make greater margin feed
Ing However, the apparent gain viii
balance the losses he has Just met
during August and September Under
the stress OF reducing the high cost OF
living the farmer has had to accept 9
loss az 800 in order to save the con-
simmer so cents. Retail butchers
have received substantial reduction
in the wholesale price Of meats-yet
they have not given the consumer the
benefit.
! Il would seem advisable In the face
nf unreliable markets to not fHll-feed
our hogs or cattle. Reduce the CON
centrates IN order to proiong the feed-
ine period as feeders will know that
it il not practical to feed animals after
they have attained = certain finish. n
this way the farmers can assist IN re-
ducing the (marketing stampede
which occurs through November ana
usually precipates noticeable drop
IN prices.
That the farmer must through mis-
organization study the markets 10 wen
nut IN an article published by Wallaces
Farmer. "Counting the average tam
ily ID the United States as composed
81 ave people there have been more
than enough hogs marketed 30 far THIS

the producer" Mr.. Barney said.
"A decrease In income Is necessary
for someone before the cost Of livine
can come down. No one seems willing
to make the sacrifice
The Farm Specialist has had several
Office callers during the past three
Eweeks relative to the feeding Of live
stock. In view OF these consultations
it seems advisable to publish the re-
suits OF feeding experiments in order
that farmers may learn how Others
have fed their livestock. A series Of
articles will be presented.
Farmers who have a surplus Of barr
ley or rye may be interested In their
relative feed value as compared with
corn. When the feeding value Is
known, the. feeder can then arrange
his rations on cost basis. Sometimes
1t is advisable to sell home grown
feed and purchase supplements that
will lower the cost Of production.
The Feeding value Of barley and
rye has been compared by the Wyom-
ing Experiment Station IN 1917. The
pigs used weighed IS pounds and cost
$500 per hundred pounds. Rye and
barley valued at $500 per ton and
so per cent tankage at $500 9 ton.
Lot l on dry barley gained II
pounds per day; required 418 pounds
feed for 100 pounds gain. The quail
Of $5.16. When fed soaked barley they
gained two pounds per day and re-
auired 443 pounds of feed for one
hundred pounds gain.
Lot2 fed nine parts barley and one
part tankage gained Ia pounds per
day and required 1913 pounds barley.
and 81 lbs OF tankage to gain 100
pounds ut cost Of $5.18. When fed
soaked barley they gained "a pounds
per day and consumed s56 pounds bar
ley and 80 pounds Of tankage for
100 pounds gain. 33s
Lot 5 fed rye gained IL pounds per
day and required $50 pounds grain for
100 pounds gain, at cost Of $4.36.
When fed soaked rye they gained 2
pounds per day and required 3S3 lbs.
feed for 100 pounds gain. The quail
ity Of the meat produced ID consid-
cred good.
The amount Of corn required to
make 100 pounds gain varies with.
the age Of the hogs and the supplies
ments whether pasture or concen-
trates. One experiment at Ames with
shoats weighing 20 pounds 1t required
6Os pounds or corn 10 produce one
hundred pounds g6in or over ten'bus-
hels Of dry corn. Other experiments
conducted under variable conditions
give range OF from 564 pounds to
$50 pounds.
Feeders estimate the amount as
being about 10 to - bushels con-
siderable feed Is lost at times owing
to poor feeding quarters. Wallaces'
Farmer estimates that market price
equivalnt to Is bushels should be con-
.sidered in order to have profit.
with the uncertainty Of the livestock
market and q declining grain market,
1t would seem advisable to feed grains
produced at home. The value Of tank
age for economical and quick gains
cannot he overlooked. However, with
the uncertainty o. the present labor

Teachers Union
Protests Inquiry
Into Smiths Act
Objects to Official Scru-
tiny of Private Views;
Ettinger Insists on the
Right to Review Case

The Teachers Union has addressed
letter of protest tc the Board Of
Education on it's decision to inquire
into the conduct and statements Of
George j. Smith at the Walt Whitman
anniversary dinner at the Brevoort
Hotel.
Mr.. Smith, who is a member Of the
Board of Examiners, introduced George
Sylvester Viereck as a speaker, al
though not on the programme, and read
a message from Emma Goldman.
"The Teachers Union regards the ac-
ton of the board in deciding to con-
duct an investigation into this case as
another instance Of it's expressed pol
icy to make investigation into the con-
duct, as citizens, of those employees
OF the city over whom it has control"
reads the protest.
1.-THE Teachers Union maintains the
proposition that such attempted con-
troll over the private acts and views of
the city employees is contrary to sound
public policy and that it amounts to
depriving American citizens of their
rights to think, to speak and to act
within the law. The Teachers Union
takes no stand as to the truth of the
remarks attributed to Mr.. Smith If
he was within his legal rights to make
these remarks, it is unfair of the
Board Of Education to attempt to de-
prive him of his freedom to utter
them. If he was not within his legal
rights to make these remarks the prop
er authority to decide the question of
legality is the United States govern
ment or the judiciary authority of the
State of New York
"The Teachers Union is .gratifed to
note that in this latest case where the
Board of Education makes inquiry into
the conduct or views Of an employe it
has departed from it's customary pro-
cedure of suspending without pay"
Commenting on the protest, DR.. Will
lam L. Ettinger, superintendent of
schools, said:
'The Board of Education has a per-
feet right to investigate the opinions
of teachers and school officials.
"Their expressed opinions after
school hours have a distinct bearing
on their pupils. Teachers cannot hold
one set of opinions before 3 o'clock
in the afternoon and another set in
The evening.
"The Teachcrs' Union cannot be
fairly said to represent the teachers
of New York. There are about $4,000
teachers in the city, while the member
ship of the union does not exceed 500.
