' ; ARMIES NEED FOOD; DONT Planting and Raising of Crops Will Not Suffice; Every Car Must be Exercised Toward the Prevention of " Destruction and Waste of the Food After it is Made and Housed - "Our armies need food; don't let burn!" is the slogan adopted by the Michigan Conservation Association re cently, and it might well be adopted as the slogan of every association and every individual in the country at this time. Vast numbers of associations and government agencies throughout the country are urging every hour the growing and conservation of food stuffs. The reports so far from the Department of Agriculture Indicate an enormous yield for the year. But planting and raising crops will not suf fice. Every care must be exercised toward the prevention of the destruc tion and waste of the food after it has been made and boused. A few weeks ago a grain elevator in Chicago was destroyed by fire and with It wheat sufficient to make 50,000,000 loaves of bread. Taking this amount of bread and estimating the amount of flour used by bakers In making bread, and figuring by the army Quar termaster Department's allowance for feeding a soldier, this wheat de stroyed would furnish the first incre ment of the new' national army com posed of 687,000 men in bread for nearly two months. Wherever there is a fire that de stroys a considerable amount of prop erty there is almost always some lack of care or else a criminal intent. Ex tremely few fires are "providential." Hundreds and thousands of young men have within the past few months walk ed Into recruiting stations and volun teered to lay their lives at the disposal of the American government to pros ecute this war. To those who stay at home it Is but a small effort to put forth to practice the eternal vigi lance that will prevent the fires which may destroy foodstuffs, every ounce of which is sorely needed at this time to feed America's soldiers, America's al lies and America's women and chil dren who must remain at home and fight the battles that are absolutely essential to "keep the home fires burning." Appealing to city and county offi cials throughout North Carolina to Join with the department in lending aid to a nation wide campaign against preventable fire waste. Insurance Com missioner James R. Young recently Is sued a letter Which was sent to these officials and to a number of other pub- A GOOD RECORD. RuilroaIs Rendered One-Fourth Greater Freight Service in June With Only Slightly Increased Equipment Co-operation of Shl pers Was Great Help. Special to the Gazette. WASHINGTON, U. C, August2.".. Fairfax Harrison, Chairman of the Railroads' War Board, authorizes the following: With an increase in equipment of only three per cent the railroads of this country rendered nearly 26 per cent more freight service in June this year than in the same month last year. These figures are contained in a report on freight operation which has just been received by the Com mission on Car Service of the Rail roads' War Board. They furnish additional proof of the vigorous and successful efforts which the railroads of this country are making to help win the war by producing greater transportation efficiency. They also indicate that the shippers are doing their part too, as freight traffic could not have been increased to such an extent without a prompt and intelligence response by the shippers to the request of the Railroads' War Board to load cars full capicity. The report of freight traffic for June was compiled by the Bureau of Railroad Economics on returns from twenty-nine railroads having a com bined mileage of 25,488 miles or 4ilrorl4mately half the total rail road mileage of the United States. In June, 1916, these roads gave freight service equivalent to carry ing ir.6..0,194,,:!7 tons of freight one mile, while for the same month this year they carried 1 9,676, 46- !4 tons one mile, an increase af .7 per cent. The magnitude of this achievement becomes more apparent when com pared with the slight increase in equipment which the railroads were able to secure during the past year. In June last year the roads in question owned 1,248,1 60 freight cars. June this year found them with only 1,284,644, an increase of barely three per cent. Morever the number of locomotives used by them to haul freight has been increased only one half per cent. Intensive car loading plus an In crease of 13.6 per cent in the number of miles a day which the railroads have been able to make their freight cars travel is largely responsible for the excellent freight showing for June. The distribution of empty cars irrespective of ownership into dis tricts where they have been most needed has also helped to increase the railroad's efficiency In handling the abnormal amount of freight that the war has produced. Both the railroad and the shipper are to be congratulated on the zeal and skill with which they have carried out the request of the Hail roads War Board "To Malje One Car Do The Wark Of Two. Intensive loading has "increased the number of cars available to meet LET IT BURN lt,,c aplrited citizens In the state. The letter asks co-operation in the cam paign being fostered by the CouncU of National Defense and which has tht support and strong co-operation of tht National Board of Fire Underwriter! and is being pushed by Insurance Com missioners and Fire Marshals all ovei the nation. The campaign also ha the endorsement of President Wll son, who has issued a statement which contains the following paragraph: freventabie are Is more than t private misfortune. It is public dere lictlon. At a time like this of emer- gency, and of manifest necessity fol the conservation of national resources, it is more than ever a matter of dee) and pressing consequence that every means should be taken to prevent this evil" In Commissioner Young's appeal U officials he points out the tact thai more than 1100,000 worth of bread) stuffs were destroyed in North Care Una last year in preventable fires. Ia addition approximately a like amount was Involved In machinery and equip ment In plants for the making and handling of breadstuffs. "In this time of emergency," tht statement says, "loss of foodstuffs 11 total loss. Insurance money collect ed does not replace the actual food stuffs. Our people cannot eat money, While our soldiers are preparing tt fight the enemy and our allies art holding out their hands for food them selves and their dependent loved ones. it is treason for our people to allow one thing that goes into the making of food to be wasted.' The aid and support of every county and city official and every civit organization in the state is urged in this emergency fire prevention cam palgn. The Commissioner again calls attention to he fact that an expert fir engineer in the service of the depart ment is available at all times for tht training of fire departments for citiea and towns and to give instruction ' in fire fighting and fire prevention means. Also an electrical expert stands, readj to inspect and correct errors in eleo trical equipment that might lead tc fires and serious accident. The ser vices of these men as well as the othe equipment of the department are at the call of the people of North Caro Una, the demands of the Government and the shipping public by many thous ands. Prompt loading and unloading of cars and the efforts which the rail road employees are making to keep out of the repair shops have also done much to facilitate the movement of freight. (adv.) DEATH RATE DECLINES. Noted Health Expert Says Increased Use of Garden Vegetable Has Re duced the Number of Ieaths in New Hanover Commission Will Continue Its Work Through the Winter. Special to The Gazette. WILMINGTON, August 23. That the vigorous campaign in Wil mington and New Hanover County for food production and conservation has resulted in a marked decline in the death rate of both adults ana children is the striking statement of Dr. ( has. T. Nesbitt, Superintendent for Health for the city and county. Dr. Nesbitt is one of the best known health officers in the United States, his work here having attracted tne attention of health authorities throughout the country. The de cline is shown by vital statistics for the past few months compared witn the same months of previous years. Decline in the death rate is at tributed to the larger variety in tne diet of people of the city and country resulting from the tremendously in creased number of gardens. Many fresh vegetables have tonic qualities, besides providing a larger quantity or minerals and salts than are found in the limited diet of most people. The New Hanover Food Conserva tion Commission has planned to con tinue its work through the fall ana winter and until the end of the war. "The New Hanover Commission will still be plugging away when Peace is declared in Europe , declares Chairman W. A. McGin. it is a question of matrimony that is bothering an interned German at Hot Springs. He is engaged to marry an American woman from St. Louis and she is at Hot Springs to fulfill her part of the contract.

The National Board of Fire Under writers has recently received its first report covering the first three months of the association's campaign toward the prevention of fire which is a part of the conservation campaign in aid of the war under the general direction of Herbert C. Hoover, President Wil son's food supply director. The re port cites the fact that President R. M. Bissell, of Hartford, Conn., Presi dent of the National Board to start the work wrote letters to the gov ernors of the cotton producing and grain growing states urging their co operation with the National Board and its affiliated organizations for the safeguarding of warehouses, cotton gins, compresses and grain elevators, all manner of mills storage properties and such works. The strongest co operation has been received, the re port says, from all these sources. The advisory committee of insur ance officials were appointed in dif ferent sections of the country to work with state officials on inspections and safeguards. Meetings have been held in almost every state and property owners as well as state officials and insurance men attended. Great inter est and hard work have resulted and the special agents of companies in every field have been mobilized for conservation work. The inspectors on this work have been given special authority in the form of a letter or identification card carrying the photo graph and signature of the bearer with the proper authorization attested. In spections have been educational and owners have been very quick to fol low suggestions for improvements. The National Board Committee has been in close contact with the activi ties of the conservation board under the administration of Mr. Hoover and has prepared a thorough list of eleva tors with, their grading and specifica tions for fire dangers. te-addiUon to the conservation service the National Board has furnished valuable infor mation to the Council of National De fense in classified lists of factories capable of manufacturing munition! and other war materials.

THE HOG-RAISING INDUSTRY. North Carolina Farmers Preparing to Increase the Supply of Pork State Has Four Tucking House Enterprises. Special to The Gazette. ' RALEIGH, Aug. 2.',. With ?19 hogs a reality and $20 hogs being talekd in the large markets and with four packing houses under way or assured in the State, North Carolina farmers are preparing to help sup ply the country's demand for pork and share in the large profits that will be incident to the operation. Governor T. W. BIckett, the Agri cultural Extension Service and the State Food Conservation Commis sion, since spring, have Deen urging the saving and breeding of all sows as one means of meeting the food situation. Even before that agricul tural and livestock leaders had em phasized the desirability of largely increasing the number of hogs as a profitable branch of farm activity in the State. The farmers have been a wake to their opportunity and a tre mendous increase in the hog popula tion in the State is resulting. Mr. T. B. Parker, head of Farm ers' Institute Work in North Caroli na, has estimated that North Carq lina's hog crop during the coming season will be not less than 2,500, 000 marketable hogs. When it la remembered that the tota number of hogs in North Carolina January 1 was 1,550,000, it can be seen that the percentage of increase is great, being nearly 66 2-3 per cent. This crop of hogs at present will be be worth more than $85,000,000. If the price of hogs passes the $20.00 mark, the hog crop, as Is estimated by Mr. Parker, would be worth ap proximately $100,000,000. The possibilities of the hog raising industry are almost unlimited. If pastures and feed were available it would be very easy to quadruple the number of hogs in the State within a year. Hogs quickly mature and are prolific, 10 to 12 pigs a year be ing a conservative estimate for eacn brood sow kept. Moreover, they are easily raised since pasture crops may be provided which will keep them growing during practically ev ery month of the year. Another very decided advantage in hog raising is the ease with which the farmer with limited means can get a start, the a mount of capital required for breed ing stock being negligible when compared with even one year's re suits. One thing that is absolutely neces sary for the farmer who expects to make good profits on hogs Is careful planning of pasture crops. In open climate, hogs may be pastured prac tically 1 2 months in the year. No sec tion of the globe has a larger variety of qrops suitable for pasturing hogs. It is easy to provide crops for all sea sons but this is a matter that de mands the right sort of attention at the right time. Probably no South ern State has a swine expert who can hold a candle to Dan Gray of the North Carolina Experiment Station, and the services of Mr. Gray and his assistants are available to North Carolina Farmers at all times. Bul letins and circulars prepared by Mr. Gray and under his supervision may be secured for the asking. Wonderful Likeness.
