Back To The Fields

Few farmers can overcome the

committee of the Department of Ag-
iculture, adding that 1.-The present

of business? We think not!
Old Uncle Sam once owned most

land grants, mammoth parks, home
steads, so-called conservation expert

Uncle's intentions were good as he
wanted to make Gods land available
to the people-but our country, like

Now it is a well-known fact that
high floods throughout America
cause losses of 100 million dollars a
year; that thousands of smaller
floods are responsible for soil erosion

JAP BEETLES TRAPPED WIDELY

The japanese beetle was trapped
last year in Is States outside those
already under Federal quarantine.
This campaign extended from Florida
to the Canadian border, including
States as far inland as Missouri In
1914, east of the Mississippi, the
U. S. Department of Agriculture set
out nearly 10000 beetle traps in
more than 400 towns and cities. Re-
suits of the seasons trapping were
made known to plant pest officials of
the cooperating States, SO that they
could act to eradicate or suppress the
beetles before it has chance to in
crease and cause widespread damage
to crops, flowers, lawns and golf
courses.

Remarkable" Labor Service Helped Score New Ship Record in 1914

Washington, D.

The report covers the fiscal year ended June 30, 1924. period when the need for ships was especially critical because of the demands of the overwhelming field of combat operation.
 In the first half of the 1914, fiS- cal year. 1,017 vessels aggregating 10.41O,971 deadweight tons were completed, while during the second half of the year 864 vessels of B. 614,260 deadweight tons were con- structed. Tonnage difference be- tween the two periods came as re- suit of the shift from the slow Li- berty type to the faster Victory ship, conversions for military use, and the construction of special mili- tary types for the Army and Navy.
 Despite the material loss in ton- mage resulting from the greater
