Win the War by Preparing the Land
Sowing the Seed and Producing Bigger Crops
Work in Joint Effort the Soil of the United States and Canada
CO-OPERATIVE FARMING IN MAN POWER NECESSARY
TO WIN THE BATTLE FOR LIBERTY
The Food Controllers of the United States and Canada are asking foi
greater food production. Scarcely 100,000,000 bushels of wheat arc avail
able, to be sent to the allies overseas before the crop harvest Upon the
efforts of the United States and Canada rests the burden of supply
Every Available Tillable Acre Must Contribute; Every Availably
Farmer and Farm Hand Must Assist
Western Canada has an enormous acreage to be seeded, but man power
b short, and an appeal to the United States allies is for more men for seed
ing operation.
Canada's Wheat Production Last Year was 225,000,000 Bushels; the
Demand From Canada Alone for 1918 is 400,000,000 Bushels
To secure this she must have assistance. She has the land but needs
the men. The Government of the United States wants every man who can
effectively help, to do farm work this year. It wants the land in the United
States developed first of course; but it also wants to help Canada. When
ever we find a man we can spare to Canada's fields after ours are supplied,
we want to direct him there.
Apply to our Employment Service, and we will tell you where you can
best serve the combined interests.
Western Canada's help will be required not later than April 5th. Waees
to competent help, 50.00 a month and up, board and lodging.
Those who respond to this appeal will get a warm welcome, good wages,
good board and find comfortable homes. They will get a rate of one cent
m mile from Canadian boundary points to destination and return.
For particulars as to routes and places where employment may be had
apply to: U. S. EMPLOYMENT SERVICE, DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

IVTADAM WAS ROAD REPAIRER
He Originated Method of Covering Sur
face of Ground With Impermeable
Crust or Covering.
Just 200 years ngo was born "tho.
first of the pioneers who took up thd
work of scientific road building." John
Metcnlf showed how to carry 'solid
hlghwnys across difficult bogs, und
Thomas Telford built his roads, topped
with gravel, on a solid foundation of
stone blocks. But tho great reform of
the art came In with John Louden Mc
Ailam, who traveled 30,000 miles over
the English and Scottish roads to study
tho conditions and needs for himself.
Bestowing n new word on the lan
guage, ho originated tho method of cov-
Macadamized Road.
cring tho surface of tho ground with
nn Impermeable crust, cover or coat
ing, so that water would not penetrato
to the soil beneath. A road thus
"macudamlzed" was found to yield less
easily to weights pressing upon It, and
could not be broken up by the action
of frost. But while tho inventor's fnmo
spread his resources dwindled, and
though made surveyor general of roads,
ho had to depend for his recompense
on a parliamentary grant. McAdum
(Was a road repairer rather than a road
builder, but his system went all over
tho world.
SPRING CARE OF HIGHWAYS
Go Over Road With Grader to Clean
Out Ditches Fill All Ruts
With New Material.
Every spring before the ground he-,
conies too hard tho road should bo
thoroughly gono over with a grader to
clean out the ditches, so that tho water
may have a free outlet. The ruts and
holes should be filled, elevations In tho
road and shoulders on the side of tho
road planed off, tho grade Improved,
and tho road put In good condition.
Earth roads have a pronounced tend
ency to rut. When ruta begin to ap
pear on tho surface great caro should
ho used in selecting new material, with
which they should bo filled Immediate
ly. Ono fundamental principle that Is
of special Importance In the repair
of any road Is that whatever material
Is used in tho construction of the sur
ace, the same material and no other
should be used In Its repair. A good
road with a surface of clay should bo
repaired by using clay, a gravel road
with gravel nnd a surface of limestone
with limestone.
Hog Needs Protection.
Tho hog Is lather scantily provided
with hair and tho wanner the country
tho less hair. Therefore, ho needs pro
tection during the storms of winter.
Unless you provldo it, you invito colds,
Influenza, lung troubles, rheumatism.
Sowing Slow Seeds.
In sowing seeds that sturt Blowly,
as parsnips, celery, etc., It Is well to
sow with them a few strong, quick
germinating seeds to break the crust
and mark the rows so that cultivation
may begin early.
Swift & Company
Publicity
At a recent hearing of the Federal Trade Commission thero
was introduced correspondence taken from the private files of
Swift & Company, which showed that the Company had been con
sidering for some time an educational advertising campaign.
The need for this publicity has been apparent to us for sev
eral years. The gross misrepresentation to which we have
recently been subjected has convinced us that we should no longer
delay in putting before the public the basic facts of our business,
relying on the fair-mindedness of the American people.
The feeling against the American packer is based largely on
the belief that the income and well-being of the producer and
consumer are adversely affected by the packers' operations,
resulting in unreasonably large profits.
Swift & Company's net profit is reasonable, and represents
an insignificant factor in the cost of living.
For the fiscal year 1917 the total sales and net profit of 'Swift
& Company were as follows:
Sales
$875,000,000.
Profit.
$34,650,000.
This is equivalent to a $3,465. profit on a business of $87,500.
If Swift & Company had made no profit at all, the cattle raiser
would have received only one-eighth of a cent per pound more for his
cattle, or the consumer would have saved only one-quarter of a cent per
pound on dressed beef.

HONOR CREDITED TO GERMAN
John Peter Zenger First to Uphold the
Liberty of the Press In the
United States.
Fate plays curious tricks with men
nnd things. Tho man who Is given
credit for first upholding tho liberty of
the press In America wns a German,
says tho Rocky Mountain News. It
was Just 184 years ago that this man,
John Peter Zenger, was brought to
trial for a newspaper Ubol which re
sulted from newspaper criticisms
passed on British public officials.
Zenger founded the New York
Weekly Journal, tho. second newspaper
In New York. The paper was publish
ed In the English language, and It
mu do use of very plain language.
Zenger was arrested on n charge of
libel and thrown Into prison. For some
time ho edited his paper from behind
the bars, but was at length released
nnd continued to publish the paper un
til his death In 1740.
The prosecution of Zenger for libel
wns tho first case of the kind, on this
side of the Atlantic, and aroused great
public excitement. When Zenger re
ceived acquittal it was considered a
great victory for tho principles of free
speech and a free press.

coming to farmers from the rich wheat fields of
Western Canada. Where you can buy good farm land ' '1
at $15 to $30 per acre and raise from 20 to 45 bushels
of $2 wheat to the acre it's easy to make money. Canada
offers in her provinces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta
160 Acre Homesteads Free to Settlers
and other land at very low orices. Thousands of
farmers from the U. S. or their aons are yearly taking
