without wrecking our Industrial life,
bringing needless suffering upon the
millions nt homo, and wasting billions?
Consres-s, In passing tlio National Defense Act
of IPL'U, sought to provide the broad foundation
of authority for the solving of this material pre
paredness problem. This act gae tho president
emergency power, authorized tbo creation of a
non-partisan "Hoard of Mobilization of Industries
lsentlal to Military Preparedness," outlined the
industrial mobilization task and turned The Job
over to the assistant secretary of wnr. Col. J.
Mayhow Walnwrlght, appointed Mnrch 23, 1021,
labored at this titanic task until bis election to
the Sixty-eighth congress from New York brought
about his resignation.
In a lecture before the Army War college
January 20, 102a. Assistant- Secretary Walnwrlght
said:
"It is not In a spirit of egotism, but rather n
report of my stewardship when I say thnt I nm
certain that more has been accomplished In the
past cU'litcen months looking to industrial prepared
ness than lias ever been accomplished before In
the history of the Wnr department."
Dwight Fllley Davis of St. Louis succeeded
Ilepresentattve-elect Walnwrlght as nsslstant necre
tnry of war. Ho was born In St. Louis In 1870.
He got Ills A. II. from Harvard In 1000 and his
LL. D. from Washington university In 1003. Since
then be hns been a mnn of many activities, both
local and national. In St. Louis he was prominent
In every movement for municipal betterment. In
1021 he became director of the War Finance cor
poration. September 1, 1017, Mr. Davis was commissioned
cnptnln of Compnny L, Fifth Missouri Infantry, by
the governor of Missouri. March 20, 1018, bo was
promoted to rank of major, Nntlonal Guard, Ho
was nppolnted lieutenant colonel of Infantry Oc
tober 10, 1018. Uo served ns assistant chief of
staff in the Thirty-fifth Division nnd in tho Second
Army, A. 13. F. He wns graduated from the Gen
eral Staff college nt Lanqres. He served over
seas from April 25, 1018, to April 20, 1010, when
he wns honorably discharged.
Ho wns cited In General Orders No. 81, Hend
quarters, Thirty-fifth Division, dated October 11,
1018, and In Citation Orders No. 1, General Head
quarter", Juno a, 1010, "for enrryng out the ofders

to lils brigade and division commnnders," which
citation carries the nward of the silver star.
Col. II. U. Ferguson Is director of procurement.
Ho lias been much service In ninny lands. He
was born In North Carolina In 1875 and Is a
graduate of the U. S. Military academy (1807),
Army Staff college (1005) and Army War college
(1012). In 1S08 he was a second lieutenant of tho
Corps of Engineers; first lieutenant In 1000; cap

I :old weather, contagious roup, say
inenibers of Iowa State college, Is ono
I of tho most dangerous diseases that
. threaten Hocks. It causes a heavy loss
I not only from a high death rate but
also from the fact that It Interferes
I .villi egg production and causes loss
j af vitality in breeding.
I Contagious roup Is easy to Identify,
i It starts witli a thin watery dlschargo

' )lTenslvo odor, lullamuiatlon sets In,
, the birds begin to cough and snee.e,
hi entiling becomes noisy and they fre
quently breathe through their mouths.
The secretions from the nose and eyes
.-liange to u yellowish chccse-llko
aiass.
j Hotip can easily bo prevented by
' avoiding damp, poorly ventilated, over
j crowded quarters. To cure a sick bird,
place it In a dry, well-ventilated placo
nway from the other birds and give It
plenty of fresh water and feed. Every
morning and evening remove all the
i cheesy matter from the eyes and nos
trils and dip the bird's head Into n
Milutlou of bichloride of mercury
(1-1,000). This Is made by placing ono
".It mercury bichloride tablet In u pint
of water. Hold the bird firmly and
Immerse the head until the eyes are
covered, keeping It there a few seconds
or until It struggles.

Second Army Corps during the training and offen

the Port of Debarkation, Newport News (Novem

M. by General Pershing.
"Wars are no longer fought by the nrmed forces
nlone," said Assistant Secretary Davis. "Every
man, woman and child, every resource nnd every
dollar In the entire nation must throw Its weight
toward victory In time of wnr. Industry alone can
not win n wnr; but It can lose n war by falling
to supply tho armies with munitions, vltul to their
fighting tlllclency."
And under tho National Defense Act, Assistant
Secretnry Dnvls, under supervision of Secretary
Weeks, Is charged with tho control of policies affect
ing tho business administration of tho army. Ho
has two distinct functions. First, ho is responsible
for MtpcrvlMng the procurement of all military
supplies by the War Department and other duties
relating thereto. Second, he Is charged with "tho
nssurunco of ndequato provision" for Industrial
mobilization.
In planning for procurement of supplies In time
of war, It Is of course necessary to know wbnt
kind of supplies will be required, nnd how much
will bo needed. Tho general staff Indicates to the
secretnry of war the military program which Is be
lieved odequnte for any emergency nnd determines
the types of equipment and tables of allowances.
All questions nffectlng the procurement of supplies;
that is, where they can be procured, who will pro
cure them, the rate of production, and maintenance
of an economical program, are determined under
policies laid down by tho assistant secrelary of
war, tho business hend of tho Wnr department.
Tho cost of the supply program must bo cstlmnted,
In order that congress may know tho extent of
appropriations required, and the Treasury de
partment may hnvo tho necessary data upon which
to make plans for flnnnclng the wnr.
"In tills connection the Wnr department Is giv
ing most careful attention to the wnys and means
whereby profiteering mny be controlled In time of
wnr," said Mr. Davis. "The principle thnt the
men at homo shall not profit from war, while
their fellows are staking their lives and their
health for their country, Is fundamental as a
proposition of common Justice. Such n policy was
affirmed in n nntlon-wlde referendum by tho Cham
ber of Commcrco of tho United Stntes during the
World wnr and was repeatedly commended as a
principle of government by President Hnrdlng.
"lleforo tho Wnr department could approach In
dustry In order to discuss production, It wns first
necessary to standardize specifications for supplies
wherever practicable. This has been done by adopt
ing, as far as possible, commercial standards. At
the same time, It hns reduced tho largo number
of contract forms, previously In use, to ono slnglo
form which Is about to bo adopted for all war con
tracts. "Plans for procurement do not stop with tho
determination of tho finished nrtlcle, but tho War
department must go further and plan for tho pro
curement of machines for the making of Its nm-
terlal, for securing tho necessary raw materials '
which might become critical In time of war, am
for Insuring nn adequate supply of labor, of power,
and of transportation facilities.
"This phase of procurement plnnnlng goes be
yond tho strictly military features and merges Into
the broader Held, which for want of a better term
has been cnlled "Industrial Mobilization." 15y this
term we mean the conversion of the Industrial
efTort of the nation from peace production to war
production In an orderly manner, so that supplies
can bo furnMied promptly, economic losses
minimized, and the return to normal economic
conditions nt the conclusion of the war facilitated.
"In order that these plnns mny be complete, It
Is uecessnry that tho war requirements of the nnvy,
of shipping, of tho railroads, and civilian needs,
be considered. Co-operation with tho navy will
be accomplished by the recently created army and
navy munitions board. It will be necessary, In time
Poultry Manure Is Most
Valuable as Fertilizer
Poultry manure contains fertilizing
constituents which would cost 20 to
25 cents ns commercial fertilizers. Tho
overage night droppings of u hen nro
30 to -10 pounds annually. A flock of
100 hens at this rate would produco
?20 to ?25 worth per year. To pre
vent loss of the fertilizing constltu
puts, sifted coal ushes may bo used on
(he dropping boards as an absorbent.
Wood ashes or lime should not bo
mixed with the manure. As poultry
manure Is particularly adapted to
gardening, poultry raisers can often
dispose of It nt a good price. Such
management will add a little to tho
profits from the Hock.
Feather-Pulling Harmful
in Any Chicken Flock
Feather-pulling destroys a flock.
When a cock begins to look ns If he
were picked on tho neck and breast
you may then begin to wntch for the

she should bo removed at once, as she

In time of wnr. First, having determined what
will be required, It became necessary t.o figure
out how much would bo required. Second, having
worked out In detail tho amount of supplies re
quired, It then became necessary to determine
where nnd how they could be procured. This has
been done by the establishment of procurement
districts by each branch of the War department,
to each of which has been apportioned a proper
bhare of the total requirements."
The district hendquarters number 47 and are
located In 21 cities In 11 states. The ofllcers In

own problem. That of the Quartermaster corps j
Is comparatively easy; It deals with vast quantities
of supplies, but they nro mostly commercial In
character. On the other hand, the problems facing
the Ordnance department nnd the Air service tiro I
peculiarly dlfllcult, since they deal with Items
which nro either not produced commercially In ,
time of pence or In such limited quantities as tu
have little effect upon war time procurement. J
Some of the problems which will confront the
government and which must be solved by Industrial
experts are: I

fed meat and bone-meal, plenty of
grass, and a little salt, In their food.
Fowls Lay Majority of

Hens lay the majority of eggs durlngt

"During the World wnr tho unpreparedness o
tho nation cost every citizen thousands of dollars, bj
the Increased cost of living," points out Mr. Dnvls,
"Some Industries found themselves svvnmped with
orders ihey were unablo to perform, while other
Industries wero ruined by a sudden ccsatlon o
their normal business. In n well devised In
dustrial mobilization scheme, much of this can b
avoided. This Is n matter of vltnl Importance to
tho taxpayers. Tho army will bo equipped for
war months sooner than It was during tho World
war. 'I ho war will bo shortened by Just that
much, thereby saving thousands of lives nnd bil
lions of dollurs. It will ulso mean a minimum
dislocation of tho normal economic effort nuc
fucllltuto u ruturu to peace conditions."
Overcrowding of Fowls
Cause of Many Failures
Overcrowding of poultry Is ono of
the most common rensons why success
Is not hnd. The temptation to carry a
few extrn fowls, over and above the
capacity of the buildings and equip
ment, nnd thereby "Increase" the
profit, Is one of the commonest stum
bling blocks to actual success. When
this lesson Is learned (sometimes It Is
n bitter lesson) then real profit la
more likely to be hnd.
