He could get work , but the farmers were not inclined to take him , as if they did their own men would be called up .

It was Some misunderstanding seems to have arise a about the action of the Board of Agriculture in recommending the destruction of sparrows . It is the common house sparrow that does the of The one fundamental condition which must be applied to the feeding of live stock of all kinds is that they must not be allowed to com- pete for food with men , women and children . The real difficulty of the war situation is the shortage of corn and bread stuffs . He is no patriot who gives them to pigs or poultry . LATE SPRING SOWING . Spring sowing is late this year , and in some pounds . No wheat , rye , rice , tapioca , sago , manioc , or arrowroot , or products thereof may be used except for human food .
