, Mr. Sheetz is planning to
A NEW PROFESSION.
A Lancaster county citizen wrote to
State Zooligist H. A. Surface, Har-
risrburg, saying: “I am making a
business of fumigating wheat, among
the farmers, to kill the wheat moth,
weevil, etc, and am using carbon bi-
sulfide.”
This shows. how new conditions
bring about new professions. Another
person in Dauphin county heard cf
this business and went into it. A
Chester county man is also engaged
in the fumigation business. Since a
very large percentage of the wheat
crop in the southeastern quarter of
Pennsylvania is lost by the ravages of
the small angoumois grain moth or
so-called weevil. alone, it can be seen
that there was justification in Prof.
Surface replying as follows to the
writer mentioned above:
“I am vefy glad to learn that you
are making a business of fumigating
wheat among the farmers to kill the
wheat moth. This is a very import-
ant business, and it is a good thing
that there is some man with enough
modern push to him to get into it.
“Really, if anyone had an opportu-
nity to do this for half the CLEAR
MONEY he would save the farmer,
he would get rich ard also make the
farmer rich. The great trouble with
this business is that the fumigation
process is so easy that when they see
is done once, they learn how, and can
do it for themselves but they are a-
fraid to undertake it without help.
This is why we are giving demonstra-
tions in fumigation.
“I acknowledge that it requires
care but it is an easy thing for
anyone to fumigate his own wheat
and bins, if he will do so. Yet if peo-
ple will not do this and will permit
the larvae of the moth or weevil to at-
tack the grain in the bins and destroy
it, the next best thing is for a man to :
go into the business like yourself and
do it for the farmers and be paid by
them for this work.
“I know of no respirator that you
can use with very satisfactory re-
sults. I am of the opinion that about
the best thing you can do is to use a
damp sponge tied up to your nose in
such a manner that you will breathe
through it. I am glad to give you any
help possible in this new enterprise
as it is one that is saving money cer-
tainly for the public.

Dear Sir,—
Farmers’ Day in Somerset was at-
tended on July 27 at Edgewood
Grove by probably 10,000 persons,
the mest of whom were farmers E. K.
Hibshman - state adviser of farm bu-
reaus, was present at the mecting
and explained subjects and purposes
and what the farm bureaus are doing
in the several counties of the state.
The organization was effected with-
out one dissenting voice and all
farmers are very anxious to secure
a farm agent as soon as possible.
There are now 20 counties having
farm agents, whose salaries are paid
by the federal and state governments
but the funds are now exhausted and
no agents can be placed in addition-
al counties or in this county until
July 1st. of next year.
However, Erie County has raised
sufficient funds to pay the salary and
expenses which will amount to a-
bout $3,060. Our county commission-
ers are authorized to appropriate
$1500 for expense for a farm agent
for a current year and have appro-
priated $800.00 and it is the aim of
the Directors to raise through indiv-
idual subscriptions, through banks
of the County, Boards of Trade, Com-
mercial Organizations and Corpora-
tions sufficient funds to have a Farm
Agent located here by the first of
March next year. After July 1st Mr.
Hibshman promises that there will
be sufficient funds available from the
State and Federal sources to pay the
salary of the farm agent. In some
Counties membership fees of $1.00 are
charged,
will be charged. Therefore, it is be-
lieved that individuals, banks, com-
mercial organizations and corpora-
dons wil! subscribe sufficient money
to pay, part of the salary for several
months prior to July first of next
year
The Directors elected are as fol-
lows: Jacob M. Musser, of Brothers-
; valley Township; William Walker,
Russell |
County Commissioner, of Somerset
Township; Simon 8S. Miller, of Elk
Lick Township; Cyrus Bird, of Sum-
mit Township; D. W. Seibert, Coun-
ty Supt. of Schools; Alva Hoffman, of
Lincoln Township; R. W. Lohr, Jen-
ner Township; John S. Miller, Somer-
set Township; J. B. Hemminger, Jef-
ferson Township; John W. Augustine,
Addison township; J. J. Reiman,
Stonycreek Township; Samuel Poor-
baugh, Northampton Township; Clif-
ford McMillan, of Upper Turkeyfoot
Township; H. B. Naugle, Paint
Township; A. L. Miltenberger, Cone-
maugh township; Samuel C. Walker,
Allegheny Township; John O. Ream,
Berlin Township. :
The officers are as follows: Jacob
M. Musser, Brothersvalley Twp. as
president; Willard Walker, vice pres;
D. W. Seibert, treasurer; John 8.
Miller, secretary.
The Management of the Farm
Bureau will appreciate very much all
the help and assistance you can give
to this movement in educating the
people as to what it is, how it oper-
‘ates and to get all such readers in-
terested as was the large audience at
Edgewood Grove on Farmers’ Day.
Thanking you most heartily for
your past co-operation, we beg to re-

Put a Stop to this
Kitchen Drudgery, Now!
Oh, yes, it can be done if you are cooking on a coal or wood stove.
Half the work of the kitchen is taking care of the stove. Jabbing
away with the poker to get the ashes out so it will “draw” or shovel-
ing up ashes and lugging them outdoors. And perhaps the wood box
is empty when the fire has gone'out, and you have to haul up coal.
All this is work—the back-breaking kind that makes you “all
wore out” when the last supper dish is wiped dry.
Put a stop to it today—now. Buy a :
