The power of the greatest Navy In
the world, our own two-ocean fleet,
rests in large measure on its back-
bone—the Battleships of the Line.
They displace approximately SB,000

to shortage of men, all the chil-
dren and women are pulling.
And one of the community’s,best
pullers is it’s seventy-nine year-
old, Jess Moore, who pulled three
hundred pounds the first day.
He said the cotton was so good
it was no trouble at all to pull
that much without working too
hard. He stated that the hardest
part of it all was that the rows
were so long that when his sack
got full he had to throw it over
his shoulder and carry it a quar
ter of a mile to the scales How-
«ver, there is a catch to the tale,
he didn't make it the second day.

Victory Leaders have done a t»;al 8r°up of machinf-r;
Service to our Country. The re-
ports made by these leaders on
the Srcap Surveys have indeed
been good. Most of the two hun
dred rural leaders have contacted
their neighbors and secured esti-
mates on the amount of scrap ma-
terials that'could be turned, in.
These survey blanks are now
being'grouped by mail routes, and
will be given to the Scrap Col-
lection Supervisor who will direct
the County and Government-op-
to (arm' visits to load this mater-
s ial. The collection should begin

Full Feed For Profit
With chickens—as witb '1"'—'
cattle and hogs—it is' tl.^
fed unit of production that
likely to be the most profitable, j
As ••vidence: ;LI. .S, Department
of Agriculture poultry investiga--
tors at the Beltsville (Md.) Re-
search Center divided a flock of
hens that had been on full feed,
cutting the ration of one group
by -25 per cent. Production
dropped not 25 per cent, but by
50 per cent.
The explanation, is simple
enough. A hi-fi -or cow or nig—
requires a certain quantity of
feed to keep itself alive and ilT
rurinin gorder. It is, only the
food in, excess of this that is
available for production—eggs,
drill*, or rapid growth. , Cutting
the hen’s ration by a quarter, cut
inhalf the feed available for con-.
version into eggs.
With plenty of grain available
the Department is urging full
production—and. proIilfthjsL-jjro-
I duction—by feeding birds and
. animals full rations. If % 'flock
SunXv'^’oveninglh- - '^t .fations, an
■ -- — - s increase in feed is likely to be
(followed by an increase, in egg
II ying—provided the birds are
' good quality and have inherited
the ability to lay. That can be
jested in a practical way by in-
creasing the feed and checking on
whether the—hens lay enough
more eggs' to pay for the added
fi-j-d plus a profit.
Rationing of Farm Machinery
-------
announced- last—week.—but—the..
move had been expected for some
time. The move' was necessary
since, the Supply of new machin ,
cry is -so much lower than the
possible demand. Rationing will
make it possible to distribute the (
machienry over the cpiinty to
I the places where it is needed
-most, and will not permit people
