On Dec. 7, 1912, Gov. Herbert B. Maw received a communi- cation from the War Pioduc-tioBoard in which an urgen. appeal was made for an expansion of food production in all state institutions engaged in agricultural put suits The gov ei nor i eferi ed this matter to the Public Welfare Department and asked that everything possible be done to comply with the request of 'lie WPB in their "Food for Vicwere Plans tory" piogram formulated wherein the welfare institutions, namely, th? State Hospital, the State Tracing School, and the State In dustrial School, liv conjunction with the State Prison and the State Deaf and Blind School enteied, into a cooperative working relationship with the aim in view of bringing about maximum results in the expansion of food production as an important contribution to 'the war effort. One of the objective achieved through this cooperative arrangement was the exchanging of foodstuffs between the different Institutions. As an example, the School Training produced more peaches than could properly be taken care of at the school. This Surplus of peaches was transferred to the State Prison and the State Hospital, where they were canned. Surplus pork was transferred from the Prison and the Deaf and Blind School to other Institutions. An exchange of dairy herd breeding stock has been made for the purpose of building up the qualify of the respective herds. Special mention should be made of the fact that some of the outstanding dairy herds of the state are located at some of these state Institutions; in fact, the Indns-tria- l School herd has jnT reived national recognition upon various occasions. The aim in view Is" to hnild np all of the" herds to a Jike quality. One of the first steps taken was to enlist the assistance of the staff of experts at the State Agricultural College. They were asked to advise ways and means of increasing Their production response was most cooperative and many of their recommendations were adopted with beneficial results. For instance, upon the findings of a soil analysis, a tract of poorly producing hay land at the Training School was into pasturage. This accomplished a saving in labor and furnished valuable A dairy herd Is an forage especially valuable asset to an institution such as the Training School, inasmuch as the children require good, wholesome milk Approximately gallon? will be produced at the school during the preset calendar year. Another Item worthy of special men- n -- e tion is the production of 6,700 bushels of wheat, barley, and School. oats at The wheat is converted Into flour which furnishes a large portion of the needs of the institution. - The --other grains are used for feed for the dairy stock and for the production of pork and beef The same situation prevails at the other in stitutions Much Fruit Harvested The Training School also harvested large quantities of fruit Including 1,300 bushels of peaches, 430 bushels of apricots, 100 bushels of pears, bushels of apples, and 100 bushels of tomatoe'.
