McARTHUR PUIIUSHEII CUE ONLY DEMOOHAT1C PArEK IN WEIJBTEK COUNTY Shallenberger Hits Draft Nebraska Congressman Delivers Soeech in Favor o? the Volunteer System Washington, April 23. (Specials- Judging from tho reception given the argument of Representative Shallen berger in tho house today favoring the volunteer provision for raising nn army, it was tho most telling speech on that side of tho question. Mr. Shallenberger emphasized spec ially his opinion that the selective draft will lead to militarism. He said in part: "The idea that wo must nc ceptall mandates from tho military department and abrogate our function as representatives of tho people, ad vanced hh the chief argument for the plan of immediate conscription, is tho first flower of the principle of Prus slanism which is begiuuing to bud In this country. No one must dare quest ion the wisdom of any plan proposed by n department of government or a so-called military export." Mr. Shallenberger referred to his an cestors who, he said, for 150 years wore farmers in Pennsylvania and for 2,000 years before that were farmers in Swit zerland. He said he was proud of that ancestry and that they had always been free. "Volunteer soldiers have never failed to run true in a long race of war," Mr. Shallenberger said in conclusion. "When the German auto cracy shall finally bo no more the ver diet of history shall be that the soldier that Anally triumphed over military autocracy in this armageddon of the world was the.Engllsh speaking volun teer. Tuesday's State Journal. Increase Corn Production - Washington, D. C, April 18th. The Secretary of Agriculture today issued the following statement: Corn is America's most important cereal. It can bo grown successfully over a wider area than any other and furnishes nutritious food for man as well as the staple grain feed for cattle and draft animals. The production of corn should be Increased this year 'to the fullest extent, taking into consid- eratlon seed, labor, and existing econo mic conditions, and the availability of good land In com growing regions not needed more urgently for other crops. The acreage may well be increased In moat of the country east of the 100th meridian, as corn, in general, thrives iu this rogion. ' An appreciable increase in the corn crop is most fca&iblo, however, iu tho sections of highest corn production. Favorable growing conditions exist In such regions; fanners there nro fami liar with corn-growing; they liavo tho necessary equipment available, and liavo adapted corn production to pre vailing economic conditions. Fanners In such regions, through many years of experience, have learned methods of successfully combating adverse cofi dltlons. They know that the planting of virile, tested seed in well-tilled, friable soil, imtncdlato roplantlng of missing hills, nnd early and continued cultivation of the fields count for much In the ability of the plants to produce a bountiful yield. This knowledge should be put to good uso during tho coming season lu order that however unfavorable conditions may be pro duction of an exceptionally large crop may bo assured. In practically every county In tho country in which experience has shown that corn may bo produced success fully, the possibilities of increasing the corn crop without encroaching upon other important orops Is at least worthy of consideration, if land, labor and seed are available Farm Loans I have placed 845,000.00 In farm loans from January 15th, to February lGth, Tho reason is that I am giving tho low est ratos and best terms in tho state also a genuine option without a "joker" attachment, Private funds on hand J.

Use of Corn Meal The use of cheaper and moro abund ant foods Is ono wav thu hnusowlfn ciu aid in tho conservation of tho na tion's food supplies. This may be dono without sacrificing toothsoineness or nutritive value. Com meal, for ex ample, may bo prepared In many ways that please even tho most fastidious. Farmers' Bulletin No. 505 describes many excellcut corn meal dishes. m Poultry Production Pays High prices that are certain to con tinue cannot fail to make poultry pro duction profltnblo, says the head of tho poultry department at tho University Farm, who is urging as n war measure that poultry production be increased. "Last year, poultry and eggs wore so high that many cold storago plants chose to wait for a slump, but the slump did not como," says ho. "Tho' result was a shortage of nearly 25 per cent of storago eggs held for tho 1010 17 soason. This year looks still more promising. Both patriotism and.proflt should stimulate production. True, grain Is high priced. But eggs havo Increased in price accordingly, and there Is every prospect that It will con tinue to bo highly profitable to pro duce them." Notice Ev.
