A General Description of the Farm Bureau Plan, as Organized Under the State Leader of Michigan. What the Work Attempts and What It Expects to Accomplish. Ebcn Mumford, State Leader. ,f National Crop improvement Service. " in describing the work of a county agriculturist, it is important that at the outset we avoid the name of ex pert, or. even specialist, for these men do not pose as experts on all things agricultural. They may be specialists in one branch of agricultural knowl edge, but this is only one among the many important functions that they may perform for a county. They are in a real sense county agricultural representatives; secre taries or commissioners of agriculture for the county. They represent the agricultural interests' of a county primarily, 'though not as separate from its other economic and social activities but in their close interde pendence with all of the other in terests of the county, such as the manufacturing, commercial, educa tional and religious. The county agriculturists are to the agricultural development of a county what the secretaries of the commercial clubs of our more pro gressive cities arc to the business and social development of the city. They also represent the agricultural activity of the county in its relation to the Agricultural College and the Experi ment Station. This relation is, or ought to be, one of interdependence and co-operation, not one of su periority and subordination. The College Learns from Farmer. The colleges and experiment sta tions realize that their function is not merely to gjvc information to the farmer but also to receive informa tion from him and' the stimulus to greater activity that comes from be ing in close touch with the many difficult problems of practical farm ing. The county representative is able to gather many of these valuable experiences of the farmers of his county and to carry them to other farmers and to the college. While he does not pretend to give the advice of the specialist on all of the many complex problems, yet his extensive acquaintance with the more urgent needs and his constant and close touch make him a very efficient inter mediary between the farmer and the experiment stations and the Depart ment of Agriculture, and he can be the means of most rapid communica tion with these specialists and can bring them to his county to advise upon the specific problems to whioh they give their whole time. FARM CROPS AT LOWER COST. Ey Raymond Olney, Power-Farming Expert. (National Crop Improvement Serrlce) That which the farmer works hard est for is profits. His whole energy is bent on increasing his labor income. His chief aim is to produce bigger and better crops at a decreased cost. But to accomplish a high percentage of results requires the best equipment he can provide for carrying on his work. The average farmer is too often at a serious disadvantage because of the lack of equipment for his farm work. No matter how favorable other condi tions may be, power and implements are essential. It is a big saving to have the proper equipment to perform the different operations as they should be. The increased use of labor-saving machines has largely cut down the amount of man labor that is required on every farm. Also it has made it possible for each worker to accomplish more work. It has increased his working capacity and has made him more efficient. By giving more attention to de creasing the cost of producing crops the farmer will find surer and bigger profits than he will from high market prices. In other words, ke should not depend entirely for his profits on the high prices he may or may not get when he markets his products. The most sensible and profitable thing for him to do is to give most of his at tention to cutting down the expenses of producing his crops. He should make his profits doubly sure by cut ting down the cost of production. The fundamental importance of power-farming machinery is that it enables the farmer to produce his crops with less expense and also makes it possible for him to handle a much greater acreage. Agricultural authorities have proven that increased crop yields depend upon three esscn-tials-r-seed, soil and thorough tillage. Thorough tillage, which is doubtless most important, depends absolutely upon power and machinery. The general-purpose farm tractor has in a sense made it necessary for the farmer to buy more equipment, but at the same time it has decreased in a much larger proportion the cost of producing the crops. It has in creased the usefulness of each ma chine, and though in the first place it involves a large investment, the far tner should nevertheless provide him self with sufficient tools to perform his work properly. The farmer shotild at all times have Jhought of the biggest profits fore most in his mind. At the same time he should not forget that a large in come is not possible without good equipment. The best results depend directly upon the machines used and the intelligence exercised in selecting and using them to get the most out of he investment (Conducted by the National Womun'p Christian Temperance Union.) LIQUOR REVENUE OF CHICAGO Approximately $67,000,000 Would .Be Taken In Every Year If Each Sa loon Received $30 Dally. Tho Chicago Record-Herald makes tho following estimate: If tho 7,000 saloons of Chicago take In $30 each day, the total amount for all would be approximately $07,000,000 a year. Ap ply this in legitimate channels of trade and you will havo this result: Employ 10,000 men cleaning streets and doing other public work at $1.E0 a day; employ 2,000 teams and men cleaning alleys and streets at $4.00 a day; give each of 60,000 poor families $1.00 a day; buy a $25 suit for tho father of each of theso 60,000 fami lies; buy one $10 dress and ono $3 pair of shoes for tho mother; buy two tons of hard coal and ono barrel of flour for each poor family; buy ono $20 suit and ono $4 pair of Bhoes for $250,000 workingmen, and pay the car faro and lunch of tho samo number; buy one $4 suit of clothes for every boy and girl In tho public schools (180,891 enrolled) ; establish -one free library and museum In each division of tho city nt $1,000,000 each; build 30 new schoolhouses at $100,000 each; build 36 churches at $50,000 each; give to fresh air fund for poor chil dren $75,000; give to tho various hos pitals of tho city $100,000; and have a balance left of over $10,000. SOME MIGHTY POOR EXCUSES Temperance Worker Mces With Many Peculiar Pretences In Seeking to Enlist Recruits. "It's not my concern," "I'm not es pecially Interested In tho subject," are excuses which meet the temperance worker w(ho endeavors to enlist re cruits In the war agalnFt tho liquor traffic. Do those who speak realize what a commentary the; aro making upon their patriotism? What reason can they give for falling to be con cerned In an evil which Is destroying young men by tho thousand, wasting the substance of thousands more, and lowering the efficiency of a multitude of workers? How can they explain their lack of Interest In a subject so vital to future generations? Were our nation at war with one of tfie world powers, who would daro to stand up before his fellows and admit that he 'was not Interested in tho .outcome of tho struggle? All tho horrors of wac sink Into Insignificance beside the tyrannies and atrocities for which tho legalized liquor traffic Is responsible. VILLAGE EDITOR HAD ENOUGH Country Journalist Makes Character istic Reply of Thanks for Bottle of Whisky Sent to Him. Here is a recent editorial notloo In a vlllago newspaper. "A preesnt In the shape of a bot tle of fine old Scotch whisky was kind ly sent to this office at 2 p. m. on Thursday. Ten minutes past that hour not r drop remained. At 2:30, three men were charged with being drunk and disorderly. Tho editor of this paper returns thanks for the glitt and would feel obliged If tho donor of tho whisky would send along money enough to pay tho fines, a policeman's helmet, a new office boy, four panes of glass, a new door knob, and no more whisky!" Total Abstinence and Sport. Mr. J. C. Clegg, chairman of the English Football association, in tho course of a health lecturo at Shef field showed that tho best condi tions of physical achievements and endurance wero obtained under total abstlnenoo, Two thousand years ago the yoith ot Greece entering the Olym pic games were urged to abstain from wine. In his younger days, when he played .tootball, and won about 120 prizes, Including 80 firsts on tho run ning trodk, fellow-competitors remark ed to blm that as ho was an abstain er ho had an advantage and ought to give them a start. Mr. Clegg attacked tho system In voguo in England of putting footballers In public-houses, and ho declared' that if tho men did not touch the drink, the hours spent in tho air of a public-house put the men off form, and he gave instances of this having occurred. Lines of Truth. God's side is never tho whisky side. Genius may bo swift, but persover anco has tho surest feet. No man has a God-given right to do anything with hla troubles except to give them to ChriBt The devil likes to pat tho man on tho head who expects to got to heav en on his own merits. To Prohibit Theft. The laws of tho country prohibit ing stealing do not entirely prevent stealing. Nevertheless, I am opposed to a high license system of stealing, provided that all theft shall bo re stricted to certain authorized thieves who shall steal only between the hours of 0 a. m. and 11:30 p. m., ex cept Sunday, when no stealing shall beidono except by stealthy entrance by tho back door, and at the thief's risk. I believe in laws that abso lutely forbid theft at any hour on any day of the week. Bob Burdette. AUDITOR'S NOTICE. Estate of John Kuhbach, Late of Honesdale, deceased.
