DIR. TALKS.
How the Boys on the Farm Should be Treated.

NsA0" go " " - OS ga" SAO04oO ~
Editors Progressive Farmer:
I wish to say a word about the boys on the
farm, for from my own experience I think it
far-reaching and of much Importance.
When I was a boy my father did many things
which I thought I could have suggested some
improvement. This I think is general with boys
on the farm, and they feel like they have been
ignored when not consulted about the work they
are doing.
I think it worth the fathers while to talk to
the boys about the work in which they are en-
gagged. Get the boys ideas about the work, ask
them how they think such work should be done to
best advantage and talk it over with them, and
when it is possible, take the suggestions of the
boys and show them that you have regard for their
opinions. This is one very good way to get them
interested in the work and make them feel and
realize their worth to the place.
Always explain to the boys why you do things,
and why you think your way is the best, and al
ways consider their suggestions and give your
reasons for not adopting them if you think best
not to do SO. All this goes a long way towards
satisfying and contenting the boys as they go
about their work.
Don't ever fail to introduce the boys to all
corners, high or low. Do this III a very polite
d1IA JuSI as l. oil WOI0 SGIdu&CIS d1O I'LL W0I0
on a visit to your house..
Nothing makes a boy feel better than when, in
a very polite manner, you introduce them to
your visitor out in the field where he is at work.
A word of commentator in the boys hearing does
much good.
To fail on any occasion to introduce the mem
bers of the family, from the smallest up, to all
visitors, makes it very unpleasant often-times to
the family and also to the visitor. When I go
into a home and the man of the home fails to
introduce me to his wife and others of the fam
lily as they stand about, I feel badly, and general
ly pressed to. ask who is who, and thus try to
make it as pleasant for myself and the family
as possible.
Give the boys an interest in the farm SO they
will get some money out of it each year as
their own. A young fellow feels badly without
a cent in his pocket, when on Saturday evenings
he goes sporting his best girl.
Help the boys and girls in all their trials
and little troubles and suggest the best ways for
them to succeed and you will make light and
jolly many heavy hearts.

Editors Progressive Farmer:

Editors PROGRESSIVE Farmer:
I have learned that green pine brush laid length
wise between the rows of Irish potatoes will drive
the bugs away.
Unless something is done speedily to supply the
country with farm labor that is reliable, we may
expect our peonle to continue their exodus from
the farms to the towns and villages in increasing
ratio.
Family after family have been moving from this
section to Wilmington and other places because
they cannot get reliable farm help, and are unable
to keep up the fencing around their fields. We
need a stock law at once. N. B. COBB.

FELLOW
FARMERS!

This is a great country. 1t
is our country. We make it
great. We must make it great,
err by improving our land. We
can't raise potatoes, onions and
other dellcacies on rocks. We
must first raise the rocks. One
stick of DYNAMITE will do
the lifting of one hundred men
in the same space of time. 1t
is economy to use it. DYNA-
MITE can be handled with
perfect safety. 1t is not work
but fun to use it. We touch
it off and get behind n tree,
just as we used 70 fire the old
anvil on the glorious Fourth.
Griswold is the agent for this
section for " Atlas " Dynamite.
We sell it at the same price
you would pay at the factory,
by the single stick or by the
case. Time to use it when
Spring begins to soften up.

justices play Golf.

Department Of Justice employees We're
reminded Of old times yesterday after
noon. when Attorney General Knox and
Judge John X Richards started out to-
gether in the direction Of the golf links
at Chevy Chase. In the days when
Judge Richards was Solicitor General,
he was enthusiastic at golf. and he has
not lost his liking for the game, or his
experiences at it by reason of his work
on the bench.
Attorney General Knox is also an en-
thusiast at the game. although it is
whispered about among some Of his close
acquaintance that he is much more apt
to slice at golf than he is when taking
a drive IN a merger case. In addition
TO the Attorney General there are a
number Of other golf lovers in the De-
partment of Justice.
Solicitor General Hoyt is Iab0riOusly
building himself up into mastery OF the
art Of hitting without missing. Some
Of the Supreme Court justices are also
frequently seen on the links Among
those most often al the game are JUS
tees Harlan and Mckenna
