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. R. R. Y. M. C. A. is being
used as a workroom. The neces
sary materials are purchased at the
lowest wholesale prices and worked
into garments by the members.
Concert and Dance
In order to secure funds for the
continuance of the work a concert
followed by a dance will be held un
der the auspices of the Pennsylvania
Railroad Women's Division for War
Relief, in Chestnut Street Audito
rium, Tuesday. June 5, at 8 p. m.

READING FOLKS NEED CO AI.
Reading. 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.

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

| 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.
