Poultry mu-t .'lie . produced next year in places where jthhas- savi not been produced j before, and everywhere that poultry has been produced that production must In* inerejised. It is ueo essary that, people, in Upe nnui- trv and in the towns answer a 1 ike x to this call. Fa/ms in backyards must, both do their bit. for the doubling of our poul try production U ( 'Xt year is an indispensible tfcejfi in the Na tion’s f<iod production program —a program which must be car ried out if we are to win the war. TlfB.mgat supplies available for European use are short. Aleut must he supplie<l if the wafts won—by the forces who fight for freedom. The war will be won if we fail in food production—but not by us. We must understand what will happen if we do not provide the enormous quantities of foodstuffs that the Allies can not produce forf^iemselves. Are we going f6 feed our army 011 chickens and eggs? Of course not. But by greatly 11- creasing our production of chickens and eggs-, and by eat ing these chickens and eggs, ourselves, we will, naturally, eat t^at much less beef and pork, lu turn, that beef and jM>rk can be sent to Europe. Tlie United. States Depart ment of Agriculture calls upon the country to double poultry production next year. That can be done if the farms will keep an average of 100 liens instead of an average of 40 hens, as at present, and if every family in’ town will kee^ enough hens in in the backyard to produce all the eggs used by that family,— or two hens to each person. _ FORD WRECKS MEN On Wednesday morning while enroute from Elko to Barnwell, Mr. David S.'Mims, Mr. Hilton r 1 . *c .. ff Alim.-vsmd Mr. Hair weft} thrown . from a Ford machine, which* was tinned topsy turvy, and Were j gainfully but not thought • seriously injured.

The lettuce and cabbage seem to af ford the best food for the pestiferous little bug and the only barrier that will stop him Is a quantity of lye wa ter sprinkled around each Individual plant. The' hofhesteaders, too, are troubled much in the same way, and unless some'means may be developed, and one more practical than the lye water for big crops, the season’s re turn will not be as ample as expected. And the bug is not alone proving a pest to the farmer.‘ The mosquito this year is malting life on the farm any thing but pleasant, jtnd, In fact, the swarms of them appearing day and ministration. The sacrifice asked at our tables is a small one compared to a price our soldiers stand to pay in blood.
