BIG ACHIEVEMENTS OF FARM BUREAU Formation of Cow Testing and Farm Loan Associations Are Among the Big Accomplishments Under Direc tion of County Agent H. G. Niesley cow testing association, the organi zation of a farm loan association and various demonstrations, are some of the outstanding features in the Dauphin County Farm Bureau's rec ord of achievements thus far during the year of 1919. The offices of the bureau in the Dauphin Building have been scenes of unusual activity, and the county agent, H. 6. Xiesley, has been an extremely busy man. Thus far this year Mr. Xiesley has made a total HXRRIHBUIIG tdS&fr TKUbXiHJLPH of 295 visits* to the farms of the county. Greater service, however, was ren dered to callers at the office. Farm ers of the county visited the offices no less than 526 times for aid and service from the agent. In matters of lesser importance and where the farmer lives at a greater distance from the city, the use of the tele phone served, and no less than TB9 times did Mr. Niesley furnish advice and information to the tillers of the soil over the telephone. Meetings of various sorts, under the auspices of the Dauphin County Farm Bureau, were staged in tho bureau's offices and In various locali ties. Big attendances were had at all, and Mr. Niesley on a number of occasions attended other meetings to speak. Cow Tester Employed The formation of the co-operative cow testing association was one of the big steps forward resulting from the efforts of Mr. Niesley, backed up by the bureau. Twenty-six farmers are included in this associa tion. which employs a skilled cow tester, Wilmer Grubb, who visits each herd once a month. Every member of the body has spoken fa vorably of the achievements of this association, and one member has gone so far as to say that it saved him more than $l5O in six months. He had been feeding too much corn to his cows, he said, and since the formation of bureau he saved that amount in corn alone. A farm loan association, organ ized during the summer, is ejected to pyove of distinct benefit to tho farmers of the county as an aid to them in purchasing their own farms. Residents of many sections of the county were enthusiastic in their de sire for the formation of such a body and requests were made by these farmers for loans of $105,400 for the improvement of their ground. A full corps of officers was named by these men. Demonstrations apd tests, of wide variety, were included in the pro gram of the bureau's activity for the year. Some of them have already been completed, but many more are still in progress. Hog pasture demonstrations, to illustrate the_most economical meth ods of pork growing, were of wide importance and attracted keen at tention from the hog growers and others throughout the confines of the county. Four were staged during the year in such com munities of the county as were ac cessible to all growers. Pork Production How pork can more economically be produced by pasture rotation than by feeding in the pen was most em -1 phatically shown. Results have shown that the cost of producing pork on pasture was but from 10 to 12 cents, as compared to more than 19 cents where fed by the sys tem ordinarily employed in this city. Pig and poultry clubs for the younger boys and girls attracted con-1 siderable interest. There were a total of five pig clubs, which had a total membership of 55. Big gains were shown by many of these pigs, and the record pig of the county showed a gain of 1.9 pounds per dav. A boys' and girl#' stock judging con test was held in co-operation with the Oakdale Grange, and a poultry culling demonstration has resulted in the bettering of many flocks of the county. Soil fertility, farm crops and dis ease control received considerable attention from officials of the bureau. Widespread interest was shown in all. A soil tester has been purchased and Mr. Niesley has made tests on soils from many farms <ff the countv. In this way he has been best abie to advtye the owner of the fertilizer to be used on the soil. Certain top dressing and fertilizer demonstra tions were staged at intervals to best determine merits of top-dressing and of -various kinds of fertilizers. Three corn variety tests, in which more than a score of varieties of com were tested, were held. As a result of these demonstrations farm ers have made plans for planting changed varieties of corn In many sections of the country. Other tests were made of alfalfa and wheat. Efforts of the bureau In the way of disease control produced material benefits of importance. A trio of demonstrations were held, in which a Variety of snrnys were used. An approximate increase of 20 bushels per acre was shown. A corn root rot demonstration, to demonstrate the effect of diseased corn on the yield, attracted a big gathering of farmers near Mtddtetown.

IMPORTANT INDI'STHY It isn't often that a Washington guide is nonplussed, but I saw one in that predicament the other day." "How did it happen?" "A dear old lady from the Middle West had been shown the Washing ton monument, the White House, the Capitol and a dozen other places of interest. Just when the guide was about to call it a day she turned to him and said, 'Now show me where they do the whitewashing.'"— Bir mingham Age-Herald. MAN AND BOY CONFESS LONG ROBBERY LIST State Police Have "Bandits" Who Terrorized Lan caster County l/aneastrr, Nov. 11. —People of Lancaster county towns to-day breuthed u sigh of relief after It be came known that William Brown, 32 years old. and Joseph Schurter, 16 years old, were being held for a long sertes of robberies that have terrorized communities in which the ruids were committed. _ State police have disclosed two signed confessions in which the pair admitted having broken Into post offices, tapped safes and looted of fices in prominent business places. Brown, an ex-convict, calmly re lated how the two hud spent night after night gathering loot, while town officials were trying to trap "motor bandits." Scores of places In all sections of the county were faided, wagonloads of fruit were re moved from orchurds and farm houses were entered. In most cases the men tirst stole revolvers and worked armed. Towns raided, ac cording to the men's confession, are Manheim, Mt. Joy, Mountville, Christiana, Millersville, Strusburg, Kast Petersburg, Quurryvllle und Atglen. The I jist Robbery While under suspicion for a week, the culmination of 'their depreda-. tions came last week when forty bushels of corn were stolen from a farm along the New Holland turn pike. near State troops' barracks. It was discovered in a stable rented by Brown in the western end of the city. His arrest followed, and then i he was accused of the other rob- I beries. Brown, who has been following the huckstering business since he was discharged from the penitenti ary, blames his failure to make suf ficient funds for his crimes. "I lost a lot on watermelons and other things this summer, and I just thought I would take another fling at the 'old' game. I just knew I would be caught, so did the 'kid,' but we kept at it. All the time we were at it we kept saying we're going to get caught." That money was their sole object is apparent from what they stole. Many times valuable jewelry was within easy reach, also checks in the mails they robbed. It was on a basis of $lO a day that they worked. When the money was exhausted they started out for more.
