FARMERS TO INCREASE
POULTRY PRODUCTION
More Fowls and More Eggs j
Mean More Meat for
Fighters
INCREASING THE FOOD
ALSO ADDING PROFITS|
|
Peace Will Not Bring* Anyl
Let-Down to This
Campaign. j
First, a few figures:
According to the best census, of (>,
371,502 farms in the United States, |
1,527,743 reported no egg production.
This is one of the big facts on
which is based the endeavor to doub'e
this year he chicken and egg production
of the United States. It is
an alvnort unbelievable fact to those j
numerous persons who have regarded
a chicken dinner as the acme of
luxury and who have paid high
prices every winter for eggs. But 't
is a fact, and it has much to do with
the more-chickens -ancl-more-oggs
campaign that is expected to displace !
millions of pounds of beef and pork
in American menus and send the re
leased product across the ocean t?>
cur soldiers, the allies, and the hun-r
gry people of the lands devastated i
by the Prussian war torch.
The 1 ailed States Department
.Agriculture urges as many as possible
of the farmers who have not
rai od chickens to stock their farm
this year with flocks large enough at j
least to supply the needs of their
< wn households. It does not advise
that the general farmer embark
extensive raising of poultry, but
warns against such ventures. Hut it
sees no reason why every farm
should not produce enough chickens
and eggs for its own use, and why
there should not bc enough surplu > 1
to make chickens and eggs availab1"
to the general public at reasonable i
prices and in such quantities th t
there will be markedly less domestic
demand for the meats that are neeo '
ed abroad and that can be transport- 1
ed there.
Hundred Hens on Every Farm.
One big aim in this endeavor is to j
increase to 100 hens the average size j
of the American farm flock. Tli* J
present average is 40 hens. The de-1
aired increase it is believed, will !
bring the desired production. Tlio
farmer with several hundred hens,
of course, wid be merely making up
fcr his less fortunate neighbor unable
. j'-'acii t)">e average. This will be
Xul merely a war time increase. It
and its benefits will remain aftei
America's men and women?at tlm

c\ I' lli'thci'mbr^ \sltn all this produ ' j1
t"<?:>. the farmer need fear that the
i *arkot will be glutted by poultry)
and eggs. A good profit assured
always by the low cost of farm poultry
production. further assuran ?e
is given by the fact that with the
jnaNimum. ;;.veduct'on urged by tlmj
Depart ment of Agriculture there will j
st'li be a great gap between produ
tion and possibly consumption. I'in-1
ally, many people who eat little or.
no chicken meat, and who are only
distantly acquainted with the egg,
will come to be fast friends and w.'.i
ask for more.
Chickens as a by-product of g?* t
eal farming find n.u-'h of their feed
ip the waste materials that nth< rvise
would serve no useful purpose.
The attention and labor they require
can be given largely even by children,
and should not requin the en.
pleymcnt of additional hired workers.
On some farms tin* chickens
practically pay for themselves by
their destruction of orchard and vegI.,
jc.'t . On i.l I cr ; lliev belli

to pay for themselves by their pr?,Ruction
of manure, which when properly
used largely increases the vai e
of the land. Fifty fowls will annually
produce at least a ton of munutv
that can be made as valuable as commercial
fertilizer.
Early Hatching Essential.
An essential part of the endeavo1
to insure more chickens and eggs !:
contained in the maxim?hatch ear'
ly, The farmer who hatches early u
the spring, either by incubation o
natural methods, seems to have a!
the best of the argument. Whei
^chickens arc hatched early in tin
spring they mature in the fall am
lay eggs in the winter. Then, in tlv
spring, they are ready to hatch ear
ly. Late hatched fowls are late >1
maturing, do not lay in the wintei
ami do not sit until late in the fol
ARGENTINA TAKES
WARLIKE ACTION
Military Attaches Recalled
From Berlin and Vienna by
Minister of War
Buncos Aires.?-The ministry of
war has recalled Argentina's military
attaches from Berlin and Vienna. In
political circles this action is regarded
as significent and connected with
the sinking of the Argentine steamer
Ministro Irriendo January 2(5.
The Argentine minister to France
has confirmed the report that the
steamship was flying the Argentine
flag when sunk. The government
has not announced by what authority
the change of flags was made after
leaving this country?-the vessel having
sailed under the French flag?
but accepts the sinking as an unfriendly
act, even though the use of
the home flag was unauthorized.
The assumption in political circles
here is that Germany does not intend
to keep her promises in regard t >
Argentino shipping.
Situation Tense.
The situation here is tense and the
authorities are maintaining mor<
than their silence on the subject. After
an unusually long lapse of time
the foreign office today replied to
ii.a ^r .... i 11 . ...i.:,.'.
K. f IV IIUUO ^ I I LI U tlliu u I Uil \ , \\ 11 IV I I
notified Argentine of their rupture
of relations with Germany and that
of Brazil informing Argentine of her
sister country's state of war with
Central Powers.
Argentine in the three notes see5
in reply expressed her approbation
and warmest sympathy with the
three South American countries. The
:otc to Brazil, which was the most
significant, says that the Argentine
Govcrment has followed all the phases
of the causes which led to this
"just resolution."
These notes and the simultaneous
recall of military attaches from Be? lin
and Vienna are regarded as indicating
that the countty is working on
a crisis in its international relation-;.

FOOD SITUATION IS j
NOW MORE ACUTE
Than it Ever Has Been in This
l
Country For Various
Reasons
GOVERNMENT DEMANDS
AND OTHER CAUSES
The State Council of Defense, <n
conjunction with the food administration
and the farm demonstration and
home demonstration departments, wil,
shortly hep:in the spring campaign
for food production and conservation.
Notwithstanding the .splendid results
from the last spring's campaign
waged all over the United Stater,
the food situation of the country is
now more acute than ever before.
This is due to the largely increased
lemands from the government, to the
lamaging of a large portion fo tlu
cm crop of the northwest by earlx
frost, to the injury of the winter
wheat aiul oats crop by the unpre ?'dtatodly
severe winter and to tlv
tremendous lo.vses from freeing i u
ransit ami in homes of canned
iotno;, fn.iit.-5, potatoes ami other per
shahie feed products.
'''lie congested condition of the
ailroad.; in this section are greatly
clax ing the movenient of food, and
. seems likley that acute shortag is
f etvtain food products may beconu
rc-valent before long in our town
n<l cities. Should such a conditio"
rise, the non-agricultural population
i the Stale will have to depend large
' tin the reserve food supplies on th<
'anus, and the farmers : houltl real
''if that it may be up to them at an
r.rly date to release part of thfii
applies of corn, potatoes, pork. etc
\ y the relief of the towns. We know
1; instances where merchants havt
?een forced to import meal ami cor
rom out ide the Stat" after offerin
oe farm irs $2.00 per bushel for cornd
being- unable to induce them I<
-'lug it in. The corn production I
south Carolina for 1017 was appro\
mately forty-three million bushels,
md this figure is an adequate supp'y
'or the entire human and animal
population of the States. The crop
coming* in from outside will leave a
surplus in our barns for rats and
weevils to consume, and besides, the
unnecessary imports are putting an
?xtra burden upon trasportation 1'a*
L'ilities which we have no right to demand.
It seems to us that patriotism
demands that the farmers all over
the State supply the towns with corn,
md it also seems to us that present
circumstances do not warrant a higncr
price than $2.00 per bushel to tk>.
tarmor. When wo remember that th.
prices to the western for his wheat
has been fixed at only slightly hight \
than this figure, it would seem evident
that we have no right to deman
more, even if circumstances made i
possiblo to do so.
Those who have recently familial
i/'cd themselves with the genera
food siauation in the United State
are convinced that the only safe po'' y
Cor our farmers 'u pursue in lf)l'
* to bend every effort to the pro
duct ion of ample food supplies for
the feeding of the entire population
cf the Sfate. Our people must
fed, no matter whether cotton is ton
cents or fifty cents per pound. \V<
all want to raise all the cotton \vc
can under the present circumstance.-;,
raid we should do so; but, first, 1 ; j
us all plan for an adequate food a err
age. There is no other saf(, or rea
sonable course under present conditions.
