All the solicitors Idoals," said Mrs. Komp. As a result of Uio war sho believes that thoro will t bo a mutual feeling among tho poo-! I'lo. The way to win tho war la not only , with mon and money but with ships nnd aeroplanes. As Important as thoso howovor, Is tho food sttuutlon. Tho 'way to hold tho French lino Is to food tho mon who are holding that ,)lno. Women can'play n very important part In this war in holplng to con- . servo tno roods noeded by tho sol- dlors. "Thoy can do far moro offbc- tlvo sorvlco by fighting with tho rol- ling pin than in any othor way," said Mrs. Komp, Emphasis was also laid on tho ne cessity of obsorving at least ono ' -whoatlcsa day if not more ovory -wook.

If each individual would eat tills much loss each day 1,2600,000 pounds ' of moat (beef, pork or mutton) would bo Bavbd overy day. The question of tho conservation ' of food is not a question of a man's or a woman's fight but should bo that of the whole family.

In closing sho said, "Thoro is only ono - Union to rocognlzo thoro days and that Is tho Unltod Statos." Tho mooting closed with tho sing ling of Tho Star Spangled Banner."

An increase in the acreage of clo ver in western Oregon is called for in tho Interests of tho biggest produc tion of forage possible and continued soil fertility. Thero is no section of this part of the state that with drain age, fairly good soil and rainfall, will not grow red or alslke clover, and no forago crop is cheaper, says Profes sor Hyslop of the O. A. C. experiment station. Thousands of acres have been plant- cd to fall grain, anil-more thousands ; will bo planted next spring. One of tho most successful ways of starting clover' Is to sow It on the fall sown gram fjcij from o,0 mlddje to the end 0r Fnhruarv. Tho eround mav then bo harrowed lightly If dry enough, but ordinarily nothing further is needed after careful broadcasting. Smce no 8eed bod preparation is re j qUired for tho clover and It develops ', after the grain Is harvested. It Is ono j 0f the cheapest as well as the beat j i,ay. an(j pasture crops produced. Its effect on tho soil is good, and the following crops of- corn or wheat are always much more productive. If sownwlth spring grain the clo ver seed Is planted at the, time the. grain is sown. "In order that we do our full share In producing forago crops to feed live stock next year and at the same tlmo improve our soils for tho production of still more cereals, Ujle advice at tMs time is to get clover seed to sow either in February or next spring," says Professor Hyslop.
