THOUSANDS DIE EACH YEAR

Three hundred thousand children and 10000 mothers die in the United States of cases which are entirely pre- ventible each year, statistics compiled by the American Red Cross show. In addition to these deaths are many more that could be prevented includ- ing 100000 each year from tubercuio- sis alone
 It is to alleviate this condition and eventually to make it thing of the past that the Red Cross will devote health work of the peace-time pro- gram of the organization, is it's pre- dominating feature.
 Public health nurses of the Red Cross will teach mothers proper care of their children's health, touching up- on various angles ranging from the eradication of any physical ailments the children may have to their proper nutrition and environments.
 When the mothers themselves need the care of trained nurse, the public health nurses will supply this need themselves or will see to it that the mother has competent nurse.
 Health knowledge will be imparted generally to the Red Cross nurses and

TRAVEL PROVES BEST RECRUIT
 ING LURE

Mare Island, California, Nov 18.- In spite of the fact that all three of the regular services are devoting the greatest part of their publicity cam paigns to advertising the advantages of their respective vocational training systems, the lure of foreign lands still holds good. Statistics compiled at the recruit depot for the Marine Corps on thei West Coast show that forty-two per cent of the rockies give a desire to see the world as the most attractive inducement shown by re- cruiting posters, thirty-three per cent are attracted by the educational ad- vantages, and of the remaining twen- tyfive per cent three out of five join the colors because of industrial de- pression and two out of five come in for military training. These figures were based on the expressed desires of 800 recruits, and tally remarkably we'll with the experience of recruiting throughout the country.

HOW THEY HARVEST RICE IN
 JAVA

To see the most primitive methods of rice cultivation one must go to Java. The sawahs, or paddy fields, which are seen everywhere-there are about 5,000,000 acres of them in the island-are much the same as in other countries of the East and form an equally important part of the agri- culture of the rice-eating nation; but the method of reaping is fortunately almost unknown at the present day in any other region. As a result the Javanese are still obliged to import large quantities of the grain from Singapore to make up their own de- felt.
 The planting is done as usual, rows of women wading down the fields of soft mud and inserting little punches of seedlings at regular intervals, ac- cording to the Christian Science Monitor"
 With the harvesting of the crop comes the unique sight of crowd of Javanese men, women and children coming out of the neighboring ham lets into the first ripe field and then each in succession as it ripens. The stems are cut one by one about three feet from the ground, each ear being deftly severed with a little curved knife and stacked in small bundles to dry.
 The whole operation is conducted in genuine holiday spirit and with the air of people not pressed for time. In vain have Europeans tried to in troduce more expeditions methods; nothing will do, but the old time honored process. The harvest is inn patiently anticipated by the rural population, and it is begun and ended with general festivities.

TWO STEPS PLANNED TO GET L
 AND R. INTO CONSTITUTION

Two steps to obtain the initiative and referendum provisions contained in proposed Amendment No. 13, voted on in the recent general election, have been inaugurated by the Arkansas Initiative and Referendum League, of which Dr. Morgan Smith is president, 1t became known Wednesday morning.
 Petitions to resubmit No. 13 in the next general election have been put in circulation. and provisions for instiga- tion of suit contending that the amendment was legally adopted Mo- evember ? last by virtue of having re- ceived a majority of the votes cast for and against it have been made, Dr. Smith announced.
 We contend" said Dr. Smith, "that under Amendment No. 10, adopted several years ago, it was not neces- sary for No. 13 to have received ma jority of the total votes cast, and as soon as the complete official vote has been certified to the secretary of state our league will begin suit. This will enable the Supreme Court to again pass on the question.
 As a further effort, however, and to be our next step should we fail to win our suit before the Supreme Court

BETTER TO BUILD UP CHEAP
 ROADS BY CONSTANT CARE

It is better to build a cheap road and keep it in good condition by ade- quate maintenance than to build the most expensive highway and permit it to deteriorate for want of care, say officials of the Bureau of Public Roads of the United States Depart ment of Agriculture
 Maryland, which has one of the fin est systems of improved highways in the United States, if not the best, has consistently followed this practice. The originally improved roads in Maryland were comparatively inex- pensive, costing only what the taxpay- CTS were willing to pay for. The first few years the average cost was less than $10,000 a mile. In some cases the work entailed considerable grad ing and drainage, but in others it amounted simply to resurfacing the cid turnpikes, which had already been gr..oed and drained.
 Generally the roads built at that time were macadam, 12 feet wide and 6 inches thick. Soon the width was increased to IA feet. Later many were widened still farther, some very successfully by adding concrete shoulders on each side of the existing macadam. This method of improving roads makes it possible for traffic to continue unimpeded on the road while the work is going on.
 The macadam roads in Maryland have given very good satisfaction, but continuous care has been largely re- sponsible for their success. The roads are constantly patrolled and no hole of any size is allowed to go unre- paired. Material for patching is kept at convenient points along the road for the use of the patroIman. From a relatively small investment in ad- mittedly low-type road it builds up a better one from year to year, always conserving the bulk of the previous investment.

FARMERS MIX OWN FERTILIZER

Farmers in Morgan County, Ala, have saved approximately $10 ton by mixing their fertilizer at home un- der the direction of the county agent instead of shipping the ready mixed article. About 300 farmers have joined the homemade fertilizer move ment. The farmers joined in buying carload of ground limestone which was used with good results, and a number have been testing nitrate of soda on corn and cotton. The factory mixed commercial fertilizer has cost $40 to $60 ton, and the price placed a limit on its use which has been largely relieved by the practice of home mixing. In Bullock County 10 central communities have engaged in fertilizer and ingredients for home mixed fertilizer.

T6 OUTLINE CofToN-DUsTING
 PROGRAM

The United States Department of Agriculture will participate in a con- ference called by the Plant Protection Institute, to be held at the Chemists Club in New York, December and [, to outline program for cotton dust ing in 1921. Treatment of cotton with poison dust, principally calcium arsenate, has been of such recent de- velopment as a means of combating the boil weevil that often impracti- cable methods have been employed for it's application, many of which were due to improper advice given by rep resentatives of manufacturers who were not thoroughly informed on the problem. The present meeting is to provide clearer understanding of the work and to outline an educational campaign for 1921, which should re- suit in the farmers having the best advice and supervision possible in their poisoning efforts.

An idea of the benefit gained by ap- plication of the calcium arsenate treatment developed and recom- mended by the United States Depart ment of Agriculture against the COL ton-boll weevil is found in the experi- ence of large planter at Tallulah, La. With the exception of certain test plats, this mans entire acreage was dusted with calcium arsenate. the cost being $9.20 an acre. He ob- tained an average yield of 1,215 pounds of seed cotton to the acre on the land surrounding the test plats, while these imprisoned test plats averaged only 300 pounds, or about 9 per cent of the yield on the pois- oned cotton. Thus his net profit from poisoning on these areas on sales made before declining prices of cotton was about S120 an acre.
