FARMERS OBJECT TO
PRODUCT PROFITEERING
Dean Curtis of Iowa State Col
lege, Urges Government
Protection to Farmers
IHan ('. F. Curtis of the Iowa State
college, told farmers and agricultural
workers at the University farm at a
meeting held recently at University
farm, that there are two Important
questions today. The first Is, whether
the battle line In France will hold;
the second is whether the food line in
America will hold. If the battle line
In France should not hold out and
even France should be conquered, the
food problem would still exist, since
the war in all probability would be
transferred to this country.
"The farmer represents practically
the only Industry that has delivered
the goods." said Dean Curtlss. "The
food production of 1917 exceeded that
of 1916. and reports received indicate
that both Nebraska and Iowa will In
crease their spring wheat acreage 50
per cent over last year. The longer
the war continues the more demands
on agriculture will be Intensified. The
next four months will see shipyards
turning out needed ships and we must
have concentrated foods, such as
wheat, beef and pork, to ship.
'"The French are not a meat-eating
people, but their flocks and herds
have been depleted fully one-half. In
the midst of the battle right now, the
French have had to curtail the amount
of bread supplied to their soldiers.
"The labor problem in America is
a serious one. It will be increasingly
necessary for retired farmers, old
men. women and children to give up
some of their ease and devote time to
war work. The farmers are patriotic
and courageous and have responded to
all the calls that have been made upon
them. Producers of meat and milk
have suffered losses this winter. Farm
ers are not objecting to money given
to their country in waning profits, but
they do object to profiteering after
products have left their hands. Farm
ers are asking that business be stabil
ized and that profiteers between pro
ducer and consumer be eliminated. I
am not in favor of price-fixing as a
rule, unless it is necessary, but it may
be necessary to fix prices both to pro
ducer aud consumer.
It a Great Waste
"Enough cornstalks and straw
valley to feed all the live stock there,"
said Dean Curtlss. He advocated the
fuller use of waste materials on the
farm including the use of a silo to save
cornstalks for feed. He also urged
that brush patches and creek lands be
turned into pasture and that forage
crops be planted after small grain
crops.
Dean Curtiss spoke at Norfolk
Thursday and at Hastings Friday.
Ye Little Old Tin Backet is
Leaking Again They Say
The students of the Psychology de
partment are defying all tradition and
superstition. During the last few
days they have been observed stalking
around the laboratory with their um
brellas carefully raised. O, no, they
aren't dangerous or anything like that.
They are merely trying to keep from
being drowned.
It happened like this. That pipe
leaked again. According to Doctor
Wolfe it always has leaked, so a long,
long time ago he climbed up and put
an iron bucket there to keep the rain
from the innocent heads below. One
of the chief duties of the janitor Is
the emptying of this bucket. The
other lay he forget it. And thereby
hangs the explanation of the open
umbrellas.
The bucket claims equal fame with
the old brown Jug of the English club.
It Isn't the old oaken bucket, nor even
an iron bound bucket, but it is full of
holes from weary years of service a
service more serviceable than any
ever rendered by the English club Jug,
so it is claimed.

asked because reports have been re
ceived from some towns that the
rental of lots has been doubled in
many cases over past years, simply
because the government has asked for
more gardens. The extension service
regards this as evidence of lack of
patriotism, especially In the case of
citizens who cbuld easily permit those
less fortunate to use their vacant lots

does not object to lots being rented
