THE,CLEAN-UP SQUAD

| No more impartant work in be
half of the men who served in tn
armed forces of the United State,
during the World War, has beer
undertaken than the campaign O
the Clean-Up Squad of govern
ment agencies, the Red Cross
and the American Legion, which
begins in Winchester, Va. Oct
18th 1921.
| Practically as soon as the arm
ist;ce was signed, the variou.
| government bureaus began act.
witty in settling the Thousand 5 of
war claims of men who were i"
the service. A treme",lou
| amount of work has been accom-.
plished, but still there are hun
dreds upon hundreds of ex-service
men, entitled to the various forms
OF governmental aid who have
either never filed claims for this
assistance that the government
is glad to give, or whose claims
have never been satisfied because
the business had to be done
through lengthy, red tapped, pa
thence destroying correspondence,
alike unsatisfactory to the gov
eminent and the man the gov
ernment would aid.
This is the situation the Clean
Up Squad would remedy. Brief
ly, the plan is this. A Squad of
experts, familiar in every detail
with war insurance, the vocation
al education provisions. montary
compensation, medical treatment,
disqualification, is sent out to
scour the country for men entitled
to aid. By getting in personal
touch with the men, these experts
can file their claims properly and
can oil the governmental mach
inerv so that all claims filed will
be promptly and satisfactorily
settled. Instead of the men hav-
ing TO seek out the governmental
bureaus, those same bureaus,
through the Cleanup Squad,
seek out the men.
In this connection, it is vitality
important that anyone in any
community III which the Squad
is operating, who knows Of man
who is entitled to aid or who NAV
be entitled 20 aid, furnish men-
bers OF the Squad with his name
and address, so that he may be
found and satisfied.
Through this means, the Clean
Up Squad can accomplish the
one purpose that actuates its act
ivities. 1t can clean up.

INCREASE IN ALFALFA CROPS
Larger Yields Secured by oregon and
Washington Farmers by APpli-
cation OF Sulphur.

Farmers In Oregon and Washington
hive greatly increased their alfalfa
crops by the application Of sulphur.
This practice is based upon the re-
SHIFTS of Investigations by the expert
mept stations I'm these states as well
az upon demonstrations Of the use OF
suiphur on alfalfa conducted by the
county agricultural agents In co-opera-
t,on with specialists from the agricul-
turoI college. In Deschute county last
vear 2S5 tons Of sulphur were used,
ot total cost OF little more than
s14UO. and the increased yield, reck-
oned at 500 a ton, WAS Sf20,04. In
Jackson county PIT tons. costing
about $4,000, are estimated to have
increased the yield $4,000. In kla-
math county % tons, costing 5000,
gave an estimated increase OF $4,000
reckoning alfalfa at $15 a ton. Dem
onstrations in Josephine, Wallowa and
Wasco counties give n similar ratio
Of results. The first experiments In
sulphur fertilization in these states
were made in 1912. Rapid develop
ment Of the innovation was made pos
sible through the system OF county
agents and key men who were practi-
cal farmers.

increase in the proportion of the total
