BUY AT FARMERS' HOME TO SAVE Commissioner O'Neil Makes Some Suggestions in Re gard to Lowering Costs The Idea of marketing by automo bilo with farmers posting on bulletin boards in front of their places what they have to sell to the folks who have cars to go out and buy direct from the producer is bought out by State Highway Commissioner J. Denny O'Neil in a statement issued by him today. Mr. O'Nlel says that there are 325,000 motor vehicles, of which 40,000 are trucks and that farmers own 80,000 cars. The rest are pneumatic-tired machines, which •■an be used to visit the country on marketing tours as well as for pleas tire. "The farmer, if he bulletins the cosf of his products at his home, should bear in mind that he was saved the cost of transportation to market in making his prices for the man who comes out from the city to buy," says the Commissioner. "Farmers close to congested districts may not be able to make big cuts in prices, but tho car owner in the course of his average journey can find conditions he seeks and the farm products." Commissioner O'Neil also said that the food situation can be helped If' men with trucks will go out and buy up produce and sell reasonably, while men with cars can assist their itutomobileless neighbors to buy from the farmer. The Commissioner says regular transport trains of trucks are coming and that high ways of sufficient width can be util ized to Improve transportation.

"After that, literature. I don't mean necessarily Darwin's "Descent of Man,' though a copy or so of that wouldn't come amiss; but the cur rent weeklies and magazines and newspapars what the homo folk are talking about." Thus the opinion of a colonel with th<& Pershing expedition who was interviewed by Elizabeth Fra ser in '"Following the Red Cross." It hit th bull's eye so squarely that the editor of tho "Gamp Dodger," the official paper of the Elghthy eighth division, makes an editorial on the suggestion and also take 9 a fling at the critics. His article on "The MSakln's" reads in part as fol lows: "Attemitlon is again directed to ward organized groups of American women who are receiving much publicity in their attempts to thwart the purpose of the 'Smokes for Sol diers' .campaigns being conducted throughout the country. "Arguing from a highly intellec tual plane they represent that the money invested in 'smokes' is wast ed and could be much better utiliz ed in charitable work instead of nurturing and maintaining a 'perni cious' habit. "They fail to take cognizance of the fiuct that relief must be given for the excitable mental state that accompanies the tedium of military life loth in the trenches and in tr&iniug. They do not realize that tobacco is a practically harmless mentaj sedative and easily obtainable agent of relaxation that the soldier can appreciate. "TUey do not remember that in looking after the welfare of his men .-almost every commanding gen eral of the present war. regardless of natiooallty, has specified that to bacco was a necessity in maintain ing tlije morale and insisted upon its being u part of the regular ration."

ZERO WEATHER i KILLS ORCHARDS; Much Loss Among Chickens, i Too, Reported to Depart ment of Agriculture cold waves whlch cording to reports received at the: Capitol frojn men connected with the | state crop service. The loss or in sect destroying birds is also report ed as large, birds unable to get food because of the deep snows having been frozen. The snows, however, have been of immense value in pro tecting grain in the ground. The last severe weather which oc curred in the early part of 1912 killed buds on many fruit trees and young orchards and vineyards were hard hit, many grapevines being made worthless, while valuable hedges were frosted. Agricultural, experts here say that the loss in chickens due to the zero weather will be felt next spring and summer as there are fewer chickens on the farms now than for years because of the prices offered for them and the high cost of feed.
