He favors submitting the question to state legislatures as soon as possible.
The Liberty Loan of 1917 funds will largely flow to American farmers as allies’ purchases target U S farm products. About 1.2 million soldiers and 0.5 million reserves are to be armed, with the Navy and guards bringing the total to around 2 million, all to be fed and clothed by domestic production.
A fragment discusses the trust and a push to erect two forms of reform. It criticizes some members of a party for abdication of responsibility and accuses them of trying to shift authority to the executive and the President.

Digestible nutrients and energy values are listed by the National Crop Improvement Service with minor corrections by d Armsby and Helmer. The document compiles feeding value data for livestock, highlighting protein, energy, and digestion metrics.
The National Crop Improvement Service urges farmers to spread straw on fields rather than burn it. Straw has low feed value but high fertilizer value and helps prevent winter-killing of wheat, a practice now well established.
An analysis of feeding cows shows standard digestible nutrient tables are flawed as energy from roughage differs. Feed should be based on cow maintenance and milk output, using station guidance to optimize pounds of milk per unit of mixed feed with minimal trial and error.
The article explains dairy rationing, dividing feed into parts for maintenance and milk production. It details how protein, fat, and carbohydrates affect milk yield, with examples showing that insufficient protein limits milk. It compares costs of protein feeds versus clover hay for dairy farming and notes price changes postwar.
The article discusses variation in feeds and cow digestion, advising feeders not to follow prescriptions blindly. It recommends using a good stock feed as a base and supplementing with home-grown roughage.
National Crop Improvement Service outlines seven factors for rations and suggests a grain mix for dairy cows: 600 lb distillers dried grains, 400 lb gluten feed, 800 lb wheat bran or brewers dried grains, 400 lb hominy feed, 306 lb cottonseed meal.
Professor Henry states cows need three quarters of an ounce per day per 1000 pounds of weight and six tenths of an ounce per day per 20 pounds of milk. A 1200 pound cow producing 30 pounds of milk would require 1.8W ounces, though salt is usually included in dairy feeds and cows will seek extra salt to meet roughage needs.
The National Crop Improvement Service notes feed moves on a smaller margin than coal. Retail dealers handle carloads with lower costs, enabling dealers to profit from freight differences. Groups of farmers ordering feed in carloads through a dealer can save materially.
In cold weather, warming drinking water encourages cows to drink more and increases milk production. The practice supports better hydration, digestion, and overall herd performance.
The note urges moderation in rations to avoid overfeeding and waste. It warns excess feed can consume profits as cows cannot assimilate more than they need. Focus remains on efficient, balanced nutrition for better gains.
The piece stresses the human element in dairy feeding, noting two men with identical equipment can have divergent results despite following the same system and tables. It concludes that practical wisdom, described as horse sense, equates to cow sense in effective feeding.
A critique of reform zeal in commerce and agriculture. The Secretary of Commerce and can manufacturers are cited in a tale of diverted steel and hastily pushed reforms that disrupt harvesting machinery and dairy needs. The piece argues gradual handling of cereal policy and prioritizing human food before stock feed.
An old captain story warns against improper feeding and mixing feeds. It cautions that overloading cattle with cottonseed or oilseed meal can harm livestock, comparing reckless experimentation to giving a horse dangerous shavings after training.
The article argues that home mixed feeds are unreliable and costly. It notes widespread pre law fraud and inconsistent quality, urges use of government and state tested mixed feeds, and cites doubled herd yields from standardized products. It compares feed to professional painting and fertilizer practices to justify factory-made blends.
National Crop Improvement Service says eight tons of first class dairy feed replace 13 1 3 tons of farm grain, saving about $40 per ton and returning three times as much fertilizer to the farm as the grain the farmer would otherwise sell.
The text argues against hauling two loads of cheap feed, proposing one load of high-grade feed to do the work and cost about three-fourths as much as the two loads.
