conference of I'nited Stares depart-
ment of agriculture officials agri-
cultural college representatives and
agricultural commissioners ot the
pricipal food and feel growing
sietes held at St. l.ouis this week
and my information uncerning the
food and feed supply for 1 ;> 17 was
more than confirmed.
Present prices are not due to
speculation; they represent a real
' oritl shortage of all tilings eaten
by man or beast and they will go
higher if the supply is not increas-
ed and wastes are not curbed.
Every pound of energy must bo
employed during *he present plant-
ing and growing season and every
reasonable economy must be practic-
ed by all the people—by the well-
to-do especially—if we are to sun-

battles in Europe and they alone
must do the fighting for a whole
year while we get an army ready
for another year.

tion to know tho truth expeeeta the

We will win—of that there is no
doubt—-sooner or later. But the
quickest and surest way is to feed
our armies and oourselves to keep
ei orgy at its highest efficiency.
We may depend upon it that the
government will feed its armies
even if it must limit the rations
cf civilization.
Every farm and every communty
should do its utmost to be self-sus-
t; ining. or it may not be able to
buy the food it needs at any price.
It is unnecessary here to suggest
crops or methods of farming. Each
f. rmer and each community knows
best what can lie done in each case.
Common council will find the wisest
way.
But if all is done that can be
done in planting and if the land
yields its utmost bounty the supply
v ill be insufficient to feed the peo-
ple on the present scale of living
c.rd supply the armies besides. The
farmers will do well if they in-
crease staple crops 10 to 20 per
cent: the weather and the insects
mrv not permit any increase. The
consumers must economize. They
can easily save another 10 to 20
per cent without the least sacrifice
ol health or comfort if they will
only control their luxurious appe-
tite-. We are the most extravagant
and wasteful people in the world.
Extra effort for production on

Bl HANTS JIBES
By H. C. HAMILTON.
(United Press Correspondent)
NEW YORK. Apr. 17.—Investiga-
tions of incidents which led up to the
bout at Dallas Texas between Ty
Cobb and Charley Herzog show that
Cobb nettled by two days of riding
by the Giants lost his temper when
he slid into second base and spiked
Herzog. His action in leaving the
Tigers and refusing to take part in
the exhibition games probably could
be traced to the same cause.
The chaffing which started Ty’s
temper upward began at Fort Worth
where after Cobb had reached third
base on a hit John McGraw began to
•pen up. Cobb previously had been
hearing various slurring remarks
front the Giant bench and he warned
McGraw if he didn't cease there
i would be serious trouble.
“My little Jew Herzog will at-:
| tend to any trouble that comes up"
: Cobb declared McGraw said to him. i
And then came the next day with
| Herzog's tongue and those of his
i team mates working over time in an
effort to ruffle Cobb. And when he J
went into second base he went
1 loaded for Herzog. Fletcher Cobh
charges helped things along by
I dashing in and grabbing a handful
J of Cobb’s hair. Fletcher maintains
he was trying to separate the com-
j batants.
In the hotel that night Cobh
walked to Herzog's table and asked
him if he had taken enough and
Herzog declared himself ready to
finish the mill with the result that
! Cobb invited the New Yorker to his
room at 8:05. Then he told Mc-
G ra w.
McGraw flew into a lace when he
heard that Cobb and Herzog were
going to have it out and began to
upbraid Cobb.
“In all my 27 years of baseball 1
never saw anything dirtier than you
accomplished this afternoon." he told
Cobb and continued his tirade by
j telling the Georgian Tris Speaker
i had kicked his pedestal from under
i him.
j "I’m too much of a gentleman to
light you in this hotel lobby” Cobb
Mold him. “but if you'll leave with
'me I’ll ruin you." He turned on bis
| heel and went to do battle with ller-
■ zog.
Herzog admitted satisfaction after
he had been given a fairly good boat-
j itig and the men shook hands and
t left.
i Tv’s action in quitting the team
j after this probably was due to a de
| sire to avoid trouble.
