WOMEN ACTIVE IN WAR RELIEF [Continued From First Pace] the first year's work of the organiza tion and she ascribed It largely to the work of the Harrisburg column, who not only met the requirements as to service but were able to finance it themselves without calling upon the central organization. Makes First Inspection A few weeks ago Mrs. Boyd vis ited Harrisburg and inspected ten complete base hospital equipments, which had been completed by the railroad women. This inspection was made at the P. R. R. T. M. C. A. and the boxes packed and made ready for use. The Harrisburg column works in ten units, each composed of ten members. The head of each unit reports to the chief of the column. Funds have been raised sufficient to carry on the work, partly from dues contributed by the members, but largely through contributions, card parties and similar entertainments lield from time to time. The suc cessful card party held recently in the old Commonwealth is an illus tration. To Increase Membership It is the desire of the association to increase its membership ip Har risburg among railroad women by the formation of additional units to enlarge the scope of this patriotic work and it is also the desire of the association that the railroad men be come contributing members by the payment of one dollar per year. The railroad women in Harris burg who are interested in the move ment and are willing to devote a portion of their time to this work are invited to communicate with H. J. Babb. secretary. 404 North Second street, Harrisburg. Pa. Two days a week are now being devoted by members of the Harris burg column to preparing hospital equipments and one of the parlors in the P.

May 17.—More than 1.6001 cars of anthrarite were loaded at the mines in one day, aitd it is expected that the shipments during this week will be the heaviest for some time. In two days aout eighty trains were j brought down from the mines. When coal trains lock traffic at ! Seventh and Penn and other cross- j ifigs, the people who are inconveni- j enced, wonder why it is shipped to other places, and so little is coming here. Probably their fuel bins are empty, or nearly so. and their deal ers cannot supply them even at mid \N inter rates.

IN MILK SUPPLY Farm Agent Warns Against Cutting Down Amount; Feetl Soiling Crops Ouarding against the high cost of, feed and pasture lands, H. G. Nies-j ley, Dauphin county farm agent, to-1 day issues a statement asking dairy ; farmers to exercise preparedness so j as not to seriously interrupt the milk j supply. His statement follows: With preparedness taking all up per hand in most all walks of life, i the farm bureau takes this oppor tunity to call the attention of the Dauphin county farmers to prepare now for the high cost of feeds and] the probable insufficient pasture I which may come in late summer and! fall. The general farmers, and more ; especially the dairy farmer, should not forget how cows nearly dried up! last summer in some sections during the months of July and August, j Your attention is culled to this fact, so that a similar condition may be avoided. .Maintaining Milk Flow Maintaining the milk flow during the period of insufficient pasture may be accomplished (1 ) By feeding additional grain.! t- > By feeding soiling crops. (3) By feeding silage. With grain and mill feeds of all! kinds selling at such enormous prices ! and with a possibility of their soar- 1 ing still higher, the first one of these methods can hardly be considered. | But again there enters there the op portunity of future preparedness which includes the growing of more MAY 17, 1017. | home grown feed. Grow more sim | pie balanced rations right on the j farm, e. g; corn, silage, clover or al falfa hay, corn and cob meal, and | soy beans, meal or similar high pro ! tein concentrates. Tho second method, that of grow ing soiling crops, is one that may meet the present emergency, and is entirely practical where a few acres are available, as well as a little ex tra labor. Feeding soiling crops in I addition to the pasture secured by tho cow, helps to maintain tho milk i How at a moderate cost. The main | objection to this method is the labor | and planning necessary, in planting and cutting such crops at tho proper i time. Ready to Assist All The farm bureau stands ready to : assist any farmer, who is interested j ir. such procedure, suggesting possi i ble crops as well as the approximate | time of planting und harvesting tlie different crops. The third method, suggested, viz., the use of silage, is the best, cheap* ! est and most practical method of I meeting the feed emergency. More than one-third of the total food ma i terials in the corn plant are found in ' the sover. Cutting and shocking of the corn In the Held renders it sult | ject to considerable loss. There is greater economy in silage I than in field cured corn. The crop rnn be harvested more cheaply. There is less loss In handling and feeding as well as less work in feed ing. It furnishes a succulent feed | which is essential for the most eco nomical production of milk. There is still time to increase the j corn acreage, and begin planning for i the erection of a silo this summer.
