Secretary Hoover previously had

estimates of 81 ,404 900 for the Army

representatives of those departments.
The addition requested, Mr.. Austin

by the international scope of the ex-

BEEF COST CONFEDERATES So
A POUND, OLD RECORDS REVEAL
Bread Scared to ST. Loaf, Flour to $50 a Sack
and Shoes to S38 Pair in Latter
Days of Civil War.

Two chests of official records of the
Confederate Navy, which probably
were brought to Washington from
Richmond in 1865, recently were found
among other old records long in the
possession of the Navy Department.
These were stored in the attic OF the
State, War and Navy Building ana
were moved from there to the Navy
Department Building at Eighteenth
and Il streets. several years ago. AS
most of the Confederate papers per
tanned to financial matters, 1t was
thought they We're not of much naval
interest and they have been put away
awaiting their turn to be examined,
inspected and filed.
The Office of Naval Records is
archiving all the old manuscripts so
they may be available for historical
purposes, and, in searching through
the material these records We're
brought to light. They will be filed
and placed so as to be available for
ing to the history of the Confederate
Navy.
In going through these papers,
which are financial accounts, such as
authorizations for the purchase or
supplies and materials for the Confed-
crate Navy, orders for travel, pay
rolls of their ships and stations, much
new information has been gained as
to the activities and personnel of their
Navy as many records have been lost.
A register of officers of the Confed-
crate Navy was made by the Navy
Department about % years ago. These
newly found papers have Indicated
numerous additions to the register as
a great number of names of officers
were found either in lists of ships
crews. or attached to vouchers and
travel orders. A revision of the reg
lister will be necessary to include the
names now availab BILE. Long lists of
enlisted men and the employees at the
ship yards and other industrial plants
are also among the papers.
AS many of the Southern States
have granted pensions to the widows
of the men who served in the Confed-
crate forces. the United states Navy
has had many requests
for information concerning personnel
OF the Confederate Navy. In a great
number of cases it has been forced to

reply that no information concerning
the officers and men was available.
These newly found lists will enable the
Navy Department to give information
about Il much larger number OF off1cers
and men. In every case where a name
is found. either in a pay roll, on d
travel order or on authorization FOR
supplies. Il record is made of the name
and all information concerning the
man that can be obtained from the
document is noted, and these Will be
kept in n separate file for reference.
Authorizations for the purchase OF
building materials to be used in the
construction of ships have been found
From these papers, as well as from
the lists showing supplies purchased
in the Quitting of the ships, the list
of known ships of the Confederate
Navy is being enlarged.
These papers. in some cases, throw
new light on movements and actlVl
ties of their Slips, as much of this
information has never been compiled
Original orders and letters. some of
them signed by the Secretary of the
Navy, S. r. Mallory, We're found in
the chests. These give information on
the regulations of the naval service
and the rates of pay. etc.
The list of supplies bought for the
ships and the prices of clothing pur-
chased for the men show the differ
ence in price paid by the Confederate
Navy during the four years of the
war and the steady increase Of cost
from 1861 to 1865.
One list of supplies. dated 1861.
shows bread cost cents a loaf, but
the price increased until. in July, 1864
bread cost 81 a loaf. The bills for the
purchase of beef shows a greater in
crease. Beef cost 10 cents Il pound in
1861, but by July 1854. wars costing
50. The same price was paid for
pound Of pork and lard. These We're
for large quantities of supplies, and
were wholesale prices.
Another bill listed cabbage at 40
cents a head, a lock for $50. and a
team of mules, with wagon and har-
ness at $1,000. Meal at 81 a bushel,
corn at S45 a barrel. wheat at SIS "A
bushel are among the items receipted
for in 1864. Apple brandy at $50 Il
gallon was among the supplies bought.
Salt cost 40 cents a pound in 1864,
soap 50 a pound and bills dated July.

Poultry Undernourished
Under Farm Conditions

Poultry, of all farm stock, Is most
likely to be undernourished under
practical farm conditions. Due TO the
nature Of their digestive tract, their
rafions must be composed largely Of
seeds and seed by-products. feeds nj
balanced with respect to minerals,
proteins and vitamfns AS compared
with other animals. the requirements
Of poultry for some Of the vitamins
are relatively so intense that their ra-
lions should be supplemented. BY feeds
known to be rich In these factors.
Rfkamlns are manufactured BY plants
only. Green plant tissues are with
few exceptions the best sources OF VI
tamlns known, being rich ~ all these
factors.
Yaung chicks are especially suseep-
tible to lack Of vitamln In the ration
and VIII develop the siEsease known as
leg weakness including impaired
appetite, an anemic condition OF the
comb and wattles. dropping wings,
ruined feathers and unsteady gait.
Prevention of leg weakness Is assured
By giving the chicks ready access to
green feed such as green cabbage or
lettuce leaves. fresh alfalfa or clover
OF sprOuted oats. II green feed is not
available, 8 20 per cent Of cod liver
oil 10 the mash may be used. IN the
maintenance OF health and normal de-
yelopment In the flock the Importance
Of vitamins is undoubtedly much
greater than is realized. Rations de-
aeient in vitamins viii give rise 20
digestive disturbances and other forms
OF vague IN health which can be pre-
vented by supplying the necessary VI
tamins and adjusting the balance OF
the food.
