Ore the most recent ot these Is the organization of E-'uo farmers ut ha Porto, hid., under tho name of Lib crty fanners. Thcau men, given de It rrcd classification, pledge them selves to carry out unn.uestioaing!y the food production program advo eated hy the nVp-irtmnt. It Is Btat cd that their action la particularly r.ratlfylng to the administration nt Washington, since it recognizes the oneness of tho government's organi sation, and the close Interrelation of tits efforts of all the federal depart ments In the achievement of victory by utilizing the country's man power to best advantage. An example of how motor trucks are relieving rall-oad transportation 'P many section of the country Is nhown In the receipts of hogs deliv ered to the Omaha market hy this method of conveyance. According to a report recently complied hy the i urea u of markets there was an In crease of ISO p:r cent in the num ber of hogs transported to that mar ket by motor trucks during the first bi.t months in 1918 as compared to t:ie corresponding period in 1917. The number carried in tills way amounted to 92, 7X0 for tho period in 19! S as compared to 33.084 for the corresponding mouths last year. Intimating 70 hogs as an average carload In railroad shipments, the number delivered by motor truckj on the Omaha market during the lirst six months of 1918 aggregated more than 1300 carloads, or an aver cgp of more than eight carloads for every market day during the period. There Is an Increased Interest In srowlng sheep both for mutton and -vool, according to a report Just re ceived by the department of agri culture from thi sheep extension Husbandman in Indiana. This f-jel-np, according to specialists of the department, prevails In many other states. The Increase In production h being obtained from the saving f ewe lambs ti.nl the Introduction of good; stock from the western range. To relieve as much a possible tho unprecedented demand for leather, the department of agriculture Is urg ing that slaughtered and dead ani mals on the farm should be skti'ied with great earn. Usually the Bkin I'lng of animals on the farm and the care of hides is not given a great amount of consideration and from carelessness many hides are cut and t-cored when they are removed. By devoting a Ilttlo extra time and care in skinning animals to make sure that thy are not cut or scored. the farmer cm Increase their value on the market Beveral times.

Field nnd laboratory ptudiea of flux nre being conducted by the de partment of agriculture to determine Hie cause of flax canker and to es tablish Its relation to flux wilt. Sev eral organisms which are parasitic on flax and which cause flax wilt have been isolated. One species has 1 f -en found to produce a disease bomewhat ilmilar to flax wilt but which kills the wilt-resistant as read ily 83 It does tho more susceptible varieties. As a result of this dis covery more work on disease resist ant varieties of flax has been under taken, together with other measures for disease control. Flax wilt Is the most serious disease of this crop. Mot infrequently an entire flax field will show eo much wilt as to be prac tically a total loss to the grower. The first regular meeting of the national war emergency poultry fed eration, which was organized last April by poultry specialists of the department of agriculture, stato poultry extension men and poultry lenders, was held In Chicago July 13 18. The department was represent ed by Dr. M. E. Pennington and H. M, I.anion. who were on the 'pro nrnm, It. It. Slocum, and D. L. Orr. Tills organization was founded to consider ways and means to safc f.uard, promote and federate the poultry Interest of the nation, to co operate with the national and state r.overnmcnts In securing adequate supply of poultry products, and to harmonize and develop sound edu cational programs. tteports from four western cities v. here cottago cheese champaigns have receutly been completed show large Increased sales of the whole wine meat substitute. The follow ing Increased dally sales are record ed: Salt hake city, from 373 to 850 pounds; Spokane, from 100 to 1800 pounds; Seattle, from 1113 to 1673 pounds; Sail Francisco, from 393 to 1024 pounds; or a total Increase of r.9G9 pounds of cottage cheese sold da'ly In the four cities. This Is the result of 10-day campaigns in eacli city In which the food value of cot v?ge cheese and Its use In new dlshe was demonstrated by a woman agent In dairying nnd In which the cream eries and milk plants were assisted in making cheese by two representa ties of the agricultural nnd the slate agricultural colloge. Two thousand county agent work ers were employed to help the great land army of this country to pro duce and conserve food during the sly months from January 1 to July 1, according to a recent report made by the department of agriculture. The report shows that over 6200, county agent workers were at wor In all parts of the country on uty 1. aa compared with 4200 on Janu ary 1. This Increase consists of an rdditlon of G30 persons connected with the county agent work, 623 v. Ith tho homo demonstration work, and 723 with the boys' and girls' club movement, Bakers, hotel men, grocfrs and managers of Institutions are coming '.o homo demonstration agents for help with their conservation prob lems. The community kitchens a:id liberty bread shops are well patron lied by these business men, who need export advice to conform to the government's food regulation At one of tho bread shops in Spring field, Mass, assistance has been given to matrons from both Smith collesj and Mount Holyoke. In Oswego, X, V., the county home demonstration i-::e:it has gene Into the kitchen of f.ne of the hotels where she has Uvea her personal help to the cooks in teaching them how be3t to follow the lalct conservation recipes. Arrangements have been mado Thereby rural motor truck opera tors can co-operate with tho bureau of markets In developing rural truck routes for farm products. Operators of truck routes who comply with cer tain requirements of the bureau will lecelvo assistance In building up a business in farm produce, and will be given a sign to display on their machines stating that they are co-op-crating with the department of agri culture. Truck operators can g:t de tails of the plana by writing to the bureau of Markets, Washington, n. c. The largest disinfection project which has over been undertaken -In tills country, and probably the larg est In the world, was recently begun by tho department of agriculture clong the Mexican border. Five fum igation houses are to be erected at a cost of approximately $30,000 for the disinfection of freight cars, mo tor trucks and wagons entering the F. S. from Mexico loaded with prod ucts that might introduce Insect en emies, especially the pink boliworm of cotton. The largest houso will accommodate 13 freight cars. Each house will be equipped with appara tus and plant for tho generation and distribution of hydrocyanic-acid gas. Methods of reducing the consump tion of BUga- In soft drinks have been worked out by the bureau of chem istry, department of agriculture, and h now co-operating with producers of the lr. S. The bureau has pre pared directions for making soft drinks which include formulas that utilize substitute sweet materials such as corn s'rup (ordinary glu cose), corn sugar, maltose sirup, l nney and high Grade refiner's sirup. Hy following these directions which i -e being distributed among bottlers the nctual sugar content of soft rirlnhB can be cut to 30 per cent or less. A saving of approximately 30, 000 tons of sugar annually Is thus possible. It 13 estimated, and at the tame time tho customary taste and r.uallty of tho beverage can be pre served. It Is estimated that there ar? 110,000 producers of soft drinks In tho I'nlted States, employing 2, 000,000 workers, and having a total capitalization of $230,000,000. Tho annual movement of cattle from the grazing districts of the routhwest Is In progress, as Indicated by the receipt of 20,000 head oi July 15 at the Kansas City mar!;et. They were chipped from Kansas to Oklahoma. This movement, which ordinarily begins about July 20 to AngiiHt 1 and ends about Xovember 13 to December 1, Is a little earlier than usual, according to a report of fie bureau of markets of the U. S. department of agriculture. The re port Indicates that many of ths cat tlo which have been grazed in the southwest this year and are now be ing marketed, are a year younger than those handled heretofore, and their condition when they reach the market Is slightly better than usual. One of the developments which lias resulted from tho bureau of markets of the department of agri culture taking over the dally tele graphies reports on 'live stock 13 tho edition of an extra report sent out by wire from Chlcage each market Jay between 9 and 9:20 a m., to all live stock offices" of the bureau In other markets. This report Is a brief telegraphic message, on the condition of the local hog market as I. has developed up to that hour and Is designed to fill the gap between the 8:30 and 10:30 a. m. reports, vhlch will be sent from the Chicago market as usual. It will be posted on bulletin boards and made avail able to all interested parties at ail markets where local offices of the bureau are maintained. The message will be telegraphed to any market not served by the bureau's leased vires, provided the parties desiring tne service will pay the commercial telegraphic charges.

How tho public -nay assist in the campaign Is pointed r;'!t by traffic officers in this vicin ity:. Industries should store during the present summer months iniffielen'. materiul to meet their nceda for tin coming winter. Wholesale concerns and distribu tors should persuade customers to take immediate delivery of goods. Encourage the use wherever pos sible of additional srage spare for factory products nearest the point if ultimate consumption. Fuel old consumers should stock up for their own protection.

CI!!t;STIAX SCIENTISTS n ;ivi: aid i.v s::nvit e Christian Science camp welfare vork Is now being carried on In 43 army and navy camps In the United iitates undar direction of the Chrlst 'an Science war relief and camp wel fare committee of the First Church of Christ, Scientist, In Boston. There are at present about 70 men and 13 women engaged In this work, the womn serving mainly r.s welfare loom attendants. Conducted nt first Independently, the camp welfare work has beeu merged with the war relief work which the Christian Scientists were ('olng in foreign countries before tho United States entered the war. For both these purposes about $1,000, 000 have been raised. The aim of the Christian Science camp workers Is to be as helpful as possible to all the niou '.n the camps, whether or not they are Scientists und particularly to give assistance hlcii may not be available at the time or place through any of tho oth er camp welfare agencies. A feature cf this phase of the work Is an ar rangement for keepiuj, soldiers and sailors In close touch with their rel atives.

This Unking of home and camp, combined with the personal atten tion of the Christian Science work ers In tho caxp.i, has frequently been the moans of changing a soldier's o'.'tlock from one of ploom to on; (f Joy, and not Infrequently it has p.-oved to lie the means of relieving relatives of financial embarrassment, the committee In the home state making loans for use by the relatives u::til their boy iif camp should bo prepared to forward money to them. IIEAC K U Ah.M T XKKIlED IOU V.It ITItmSES Owners of black watiuit trees have in excellent opportunity to h-lp win the war and at tho same time ob tain n good financial return from their trees, according to District For ester Cecil, of the t S. fore; t serv ice. Black walnut Is urgently nc:ded for gunstocks nnd airplane propel lers, and the demand Is constantly K.-cater then the supply. White this tree does not g-ow naturally in the Pacific northwest. It has been planted l,i numerous localities throughout th' region for shade ond ornamen tal purposes and it Is believed that many of these have now renched a size suitable for manufacture Into gnr.stocks and propellers Firms having contracts with the government to fr.rni.sh giiiictccks and drplane propellers buy logs In car load lots. A list of these firms may be secured by application to the dis trict forester, Becl: building, Port land. There afford the best markets and owners of walnut would do well to commt'iilcate with t'icr.i. Legs are wanted 12 inches nnd ever In diameter at the small end and eight to 12 feet in length. A few logs down to 10 inches in dlam r.tor and six feet In length will be ac cepted In order to avoid wasting use ful parts of tho tree. Prices for logs vary widely and are based chiefly on diameter and the cost of trans porting them to the manufacturing 1 lant.
