He said the ranges in Utah at present are full and that very careful range management would have to be exercised to take care of these cattle. Range management manage-ment in Utah In the past has been very lax and has caused many complications, complica-tions, he added. Ben R. Eldredge of Salt Lake spoke on tho dairy cow and the war. He showed the necessity of keeping an individual record of every cow, in order to Improve the dairy herd and get the greatest production. In the domestic science department daily rations of the French, English and Americans were given and comparisons com-parisons made. Wice Eeating Urged. Americans eat too much, of too little variety, is the opinion of Miss Alice Ravenhill, professor of home economics econo-mics of the Utah Agricultural college. who made a vigorous appeal for wise eating at the large joint session this afternoon. "We must apply more common sense to our diet," declared Miss Ravenhill. Ra-venhill. "The average person does not take into account the fact that tho sctu son's should influence his daily foou or that the amount of clothing worn will regulate the amount of food needed. Winter calls for' foods stored with a wealth of heat, such as meats and fats, either oil or vegetable, while in summer we should decrease our heavier foods and increase the amount of fruits and vegetables. "Young vomcn hardly consider themselves unpatriotic when they wear low-neck dresses and not sleeves, but they undoubtedly are, because the amount of clothing is decreased and the need for food is increased. Eighty per cent of tho food we consume is used to generate heat, so anything that we can do to conservo the body heat will directly reduce the amount of food needed. Homes Overheated. "This does not mean that we should overheat our bodies with superfluous clothing, or get our homes too hot. In fact, fuel conservation demands that we save fuel. Most American homes are overheated. Exhaustive experiments experi-ments have shown that the human body and mind work best at a temperature tem-perature of G8 degrees Fahrenheit, yet few homes show a temperature of less than 70 degrees." W. W. Armstrong will come from Salt Lake tomorrow to give a talk on the food problems, and, as it is bureau day, the farm bureau work will be treated by D. D. McKay and other prominent speakers.
