ROOSEVELT TO FARMERS
Farmers Organizations Com mended
in Presidents Message to Congress


In President Roosevelt's mes
sage to congress we find the fol-
lowing in regard to the farmers
and the work that is being done
through their several organiza-
tons.
Organization has become neces-
sary in the business world; and it
has accomplished much for good
in the world of labor. 1t is no
less necessary for farmers. Such
a movement as the Grange move
ment is good in itself and is cap
able of q well-nigh infinite further
extension for good so long as it is
kept to its own legitimate busi-
ness. The benefits to be derived
by the association of farmers for
mutual advantage are partly eco
nomic and partly sociological.
Moreover, while in the long run
voluntary effort will prove more
eflicacious than government assist
ance, while the farmers must pri-
marlally do most for themselves.
yet the government can also do
much. The Department of Agri-
culture has broken new ground in
many directions, aud year by year
it finds how it can improve its
methods and develop fresh useful
ness. Its constant effort is to give
the governmental assistance in the
most effective way; that is, thru
farmers associations rather than
to or through individual farmers.
1t is also striving to coordinate 4,
its work with the agricultural de-
partments of the several states.
and so far as its own work is edu-
catlonal, to co ordinate it with the
work of other educational author
tiles. Agricultural education is
necessarily based upon general
education, but our agricultural in
situations are wisely specializing
themselves, making their courses
relate to the actual teaching of the
agricultural and kindred sciences
to young country people or young
city people who wish to live in the
country.
Great progress has already been
made among farmers by the crea-
ton of farmers institutions, of
dairy associations, of breeders as
sociations, horticultural associa-
tions and the like. A striking ex-
ample of how the government and
the farmers can cooperate is
shown in connection with the me-
mace offered to the cotton growers
of the Southern states by the adj
vance of the boil weevil. The de-
partment is doing all it can to or
ganize the farmers in the threat
ened districts, just as it has been
doing all it can to organize them
in aid of it's work to eradicate the
cattle fever tick in the South. The
department can and will cooper
ate with all such associations, and
it must have their help if its own
work is to be done in the most eff
ficient style.

GOOD HABITS COUNT.

The temptations found in city
life for the young man from the
country are many, but if the home
training has been properly given,
the parents need have but little
anxiety about their boys who
may seek employment in the
city. y boy with pluck and
brains will succeed anywhere.
Parents should not forget that
those who employ labor in the me-
trOpOlis districts insist upon TEN
perate workers. Upon railroads,
in factories, stores, machine shops
and offices only temperate per-
sons are tolerated and the intern
perate youth soon finds his place
taken by temperate one. Every
day, every year we find our young
men and women taking positions
for which they are not fitted.
There are plenty of insists in
this busy world simply because
the individual does not do his or
her own thinking. Experience
often demonstrates what the indi.
vidual is best fitted for and it
may take some little time before
the young man or young woman
finds the right road to travel.
However it is much better to fol-
low the road of life if the indi.
vidual will do a little straight
thinking on his or her own
account.
Many things are to be consid-
cred carefully. Natural fitness
and inclinations are important
elements. The advice of parents
should be considered. Bnt in all
the walks of life, no matter how
humble the pursuit may be, the
foundation of success is embed
ded in good habits Clean living,
right thinking and plenty of &C.

wards the rounding out Of q use

Time to Bank Celery.
Attention should be given now TO
banking the celery crop. The work
should never be done when dew or rain
Is on the plants or when the soil is wet.
Celery can be nicely blanched by put

killing up with earth is usually a more
economical practice. Late celery which
Is to be stored need not be hurried In
the banking process. 1t should DO left
In the field as long as possible. The
plants will stand fairly heavy frosts.
After two or three good frosts, how
ever, the plants should be taken up and
banked away in a cool cellar. In this
way they can be kept until after the
holidays in perfectly good condition.
