While tbe farmer la being urged greater and greater production, naturally conaldera the poaalblUty of overproduction. Many farm err In the ttate hare advanced tnla question According to Dean T. B.

It has been agreed that this country'* part In the war will be largely to supply food "Our food resource* have been depleted by *hlp-

ple may actually Buffer.

“If Germany Is able to eontince the ruthlrss submarine warfare unhindered. some food will be lost on IU way to Europe. ConaequenUy the loetet will tend toward a further shortage and to absorb any surplus even If there were danger of overproduction." ’That would happen If peace should come within the next few week*? Would not the markets be glutted 1 In answer to these question*. Dean Mumford said: “It la doubtful If there will be a great decrease In tbe demand for food immediately following the war. With commerce restored, every ns lion which la now at war will become a market place for American farm produce. Those countries have no food reserve left and they will turn to tbe United States to furnish food during reconstruction, and until they can feed themaelve*." As an example of the actual scarcity of food In America. Dean Mamford cites the condition of wheat: “In 1915 the United State* produced 10 bushels of wheat per capita; In 1916 we produced 6 bushels per capita, but used 6 1-3 bushels for seed snd ordinary consumption and exported 2% bushels per capita The present condition of wheat In the United States Is 63 per cent of a normal crop. This is 23 per cent below tbe average for the last ten year*. Tbe condition In Missouri la even worse—as coro-

BUYING AND SELLING EGGS Prominent Dealer In Food Suppllee Cppoeed to Practice of Handling Them by Dozen. A p.omlnent dealer In food supplies has gone on record as opposed to buying and selling egg* by tbe dozen. T am strongly In favor of selling _ji by weight," he says. “It la the only Just way for both seller and purer. As things are now. one man buy a carton of egg*, very good, very amali. while another may liny a carton of fine big eggs. Yet both will pay the same price. It la not fair. The only fair and Just method Is to buy and aril them by

weight.”-

MNSH FOR FATTENING DUCKS Mixture of Commeal, Wheat Shorts, Gettonseed Meal, Salt and Gravgl Is Recommended. A mash that will fatten young ducks and make mature duck* lay Is recommended as follows. This mash may be fed throughout the year. It Is made as follows: Oommesl SO lbs Wheat shorts 50 Ibt Cottonseed meal 15 fl>« Ground lime rock (fertiliser lime, not caustic) 214 Sharp grave] or sand.. 2 tbs Fine table salt H lb Total 120 lb* , On tbe large duck farm* they add about 10 per cent cut green or steamed alfalfa or clover hay. grass, rape, cooked small potatoes, turnips or similar vegetables. The green stuff la not necessary when ducks ore on % green range, but It Is beneficial even then that It adds bulk, variety and greater palatabmty. Mix tbe maah with water or sour skim milk or buttermilk to a crumbly moist condition and feed twice dally what the ducks will eat In 20 minute*. Give a light feed of whole com et noon. Place water In a wooden trough or galvanized iron vessel with a larger bottom than top. Have the water deep enough to reach above the nostrils and give tbe ducks an opportunity to dean ont tbelr nostrils In the water.

Eggs of Various Sizes. may differ as much as 25-per cent In the value of the food element* furnished. Perhaps the fairest way to buy or sell eggs Is by weight. Because of tbe wide variations In tbe size of eggs. It Is also coming to be recognised that more accurate result* tn recipes can be obtained by weighing or measuring tbe eggs out of tbelr shells.

There may be two reasons for thls. Plants raised In a cold frame are necessarily less hardy than those grown In the open.
