NOTICE TO MEMBERS
OF THE LEGION

To All Posts: 1t is requested that
as far as possible the attention of all
members of your post be brought to
bear upon the fact that only four
months remain in which all ex-service
men may reinstate their insurance
without a physical examination; Jam
uary 1st being the time limit; all re-
instatements after that date requiring
a medical examination
In view of the fact that the bureau
of war risk is now largely manned by
men and legionaires. and
efficiency is being rapidly substituted
for red tape, ex-service men who have
complained of the service should not
permit this to stand in the way of
taking advantage of the liberal OPP.
portunities war risk insurance has for
them.
AS far as possible every post is
urged to put on some intensive pro-
gram with a view of getting as many
men as it can to carry their war
risk insurance, because it is getting
better and better every day mainly
through the efforts of the American
Legion. Legislation now existing in
Congress proposes payment of prem
iurns at the postoffice; proposes addi-
tional advantages and benefits; and
those men not yet out of the service
eighteen months should be urged to
act before it is too late; and those
men out of the service eighteen
months should take medical exami-
nation and carry the insurance.
Repeated efforts have been made
by your department headquarters to
bring before the posts the Importance
of having the men act regarding
their insurance before their opportu-
nifty TO do SO expires and it is hoped
that you will actively interest your
self in attempting to have your post
as far as possible 100 per cent insur-
led.

HELPING SOLVE THE H. c. OF L.
An Army Camp Successfully Ope-
rates Large Farm

All ATmy lamp s ouCCc0BAuAAy Oksc-
rates a Large Farm
Solving the food problem is one of
the most serious problems that COM
fronts this country today. At least
one place has to an extent solved
this. We refer to the experimental
farm of the government at Camp
Grant, Ill, the home of the Sixth Di-
vision, u. S. army. Agricultural
training is one of the important
phases in the wonderful program be-
ing carried on at the army schools at
that point, in addition to thirty-two
other trades and professions.
Like all of the other courses at the
army school. the farming instruction
is of an intensively practical type.
During the winter months, class room
work is carried on in soil study, crop
rotation, farm machinery, its care
and use, stock breeding, etc. This is
carried on under the direction of pro-
fessional teachers, in steam heated,
well lighted class rooms. With the
advent of suitable weather. and the
enlargement of the schools facilities
| for practical outdoor work, much pro-
gress has been made.
The farm school consists of 400
acres on which diversity of crops
are rotated in twenty acre units
Small grains, corn and forage crops
are grown on these plots. As the
men progress in their work under the
direction of scientific farm experts,
leach thing they do is explained and
the reason for the method observed.
Thus the men are stimulated to think
for themselves and are enabled to
meet their own problems as they viii
later find them IN civil life.
The work in general farming is ac-
companied by truck gardening. the
vegetables raised being utilized IN the
camp messes as an agreeable addition
to the ration. A complete course in
horticulture is being conducted in
connection with the six established
orchards on the farm, besides one
lnew orchard which will bear for the
first time this season and quantity
of small fruits which have also been
set out this year.
i Pruning, spraying, grating and
lcultivation are taught by men who
lare experts and the students get
lample practice in these lines.
