War
Conditions Emphasize the Importance of Poultry.
More
animal food for man can be produced through poultry than any other source
during the same length of time. It is
possible for a hen to produce eight to ten times her weight in eggs during one
year. It is also possible for the hen to
do all that is necessary for her to do to reproduce herself....
The
demand for meat food at home can be reduced to raising poultry and eggs, which
will permit beef, pork, etc. to be sent to the army. Women and children can handle the poultry
work and in this way be of great help in the production of food, and while the
men are away, the family can be supplied with food.
Now
is the time to prepare for the year's work with poultry. Therefore we believe everyone should hatch
and raise as many chickens as possible.
If war continues, they will be needed and if war does not continue, a
nice flock of chickens is a valuable asset in any home....
A
circular, Balancing the Ration for Egg Production, and one, Feeding Chicks of
All Ages, will be sent free upon application. For information on any phase of
the poultry industry, write the Missouri State Poultry Experiment Station,

“Contest
Validity of Bonds”
Judge
William C. KERCKHOFF and other prominent citizens of the county were in town
yesterday looking after the matter of bringing a suit to contest the validity of
the present bond issue and to enjoin the County Court from further expenditure
of the money derived from the sale of the refunded bonds. The good faith of the
William R. COMPTON Investment Co. in purchasing the bonds will also be attacked
and they will also be enjoined from making any attempt to sell or dispose of
the same. The constitutionality of the law under which the bonds were issued
will also be attacked and the validity of the bonds will be attacked because
the issue exceeded the constitutional limit of five per cent of the total
assessed valuation. The issue will be further attacked on the ground that there
was no bonded indebtedness in existence at the time the bonds were refunded,
and that the sale of bonds was a pretense and not an actual sale, but was made
only upon
the
express agreement and understanding that the bonds were to be refunded. In
other words it will be charged that the bonds were not salable, and that
without an agreement to refund that the bonds could
not
have been sold at all, and had not been sold, and were not actually sold.

“Your
Country Needs You”
In
the present emergency the country needs the help of every Missourian of every
age.
Wars
are won or lost by the amount of the food supply. The U boat warfare seeks to
starve
If
war does not come, or lasts but a short time, we can force down the high cost
of living. Maximum products properly preserved will increase food supply and
relieve distress in time of peace, as well as during months of war.
________________________________
The
plan is to:
Use
(a.) all available space in the country and (b.) every vacant lot or part of a
lot in the town to grow articles of food that can be canned or stored for
further use.
Use
the boys and girls, who would otherwise be idle during the spring and summer,
older persons not otherwise employed, men and women who want exercise, and in
fact everybody who can wield a hoe.
Neither
the land nor the labor problem is involved. The plan contemplates taking no now
used land or now employed person for this work. Its purpose is to put every
idle Missourian to work on the idle land. Give every boy a job. Keep the weeds
down. Grow garden truck instead.
________________________________
The
Extension Department of College of Agriculture will:
1.
Furnish suggestions as to the best vegetables to plant or raise,
2.
Give directions from time to time as to their culture,
3.
Arrange for at least one practical and experienced demonstrator in each county
who will give actual demonstrations as to the methods of canning and preserving
products for future use, and
4.
Will provide markets for surplus canned food products.
The
State Superintendent of Public Schools believes the schools, which belong to everybody,
should lead in this important movement. In each County, a
work.
As the logical head, he has asked the
The
1.
List all available ground, and
2.
See that it is planted.
3.
See that it is properly cultivated.
4.
Arrange for canning demonstrations at the proper time (through
5.
Keep a record of what is done, and how much surplus products are in each
neighborhood.
In
this work the schools should have the support of the newspapers, clubs,
fraternal organizations, banks and commercial clubs, churches, county courts,
city councils, boy scouts, campfire girls, and all other organizations of the
patriotic Missourians.
We
have been talking patriotism. Now we can show it. Wield a hoe, as well as wear
a flag! Let us all join in the movement to supply the country with food.
